But all this should not be hidden from that damned god. He will definitely come up with some new tricks in this reincarnation.

I took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it. I stepped forward, and black mist enveloped me. I transformed into a black eagle and flew into the sky.

Let’s think about those troublesome things later.

Now I need to determine where I am, then return to the original route, find another pickup truck, and search for supplies and medicine for the Corpse God Cult.

No matter what magical powers I acquire, the world will remain the same. Mountains and rivers remain the same over time, and personal power can never accomplish anything great that will change the world.

The so-called heroes and saviors only exist in murals and old storybooks. I am still me, that useless, ordinary mortal.

After flying into the sky, my vision suddenly became clear, but then I fell into confusion.

When I looked down from the clouds, I realized that the earth below was so strange.

It was a vast, dense forest with no end in sight. The river below divided the forest into two and flowed towards the west.

It shouldn't be like this.

As far as I can remember, the river under the bridge where the accident occurred did flow westwards, but the difference was that if you took that side as the starting point and explored all the way, you would only pass by other cities on both sides of the river, not the exaggerated forest in front of you.

The forest closest to the bridge where the accident occurred is a forest called Muwu, which can only be found after tracing back more than 200 kilometers.

According to common sense, after I fell from the bridge into the river, I should have followed the water flow all the way west, getting farther and farther away from the Namuwu Forest.

Could it be that after I lost consciousness, my body went upstream and came to a place more than 200 kilometers away from the accident site?

What does that mysterious guy want me to do?

Chapter 17: Movie Maniac (I)

The summer sun is always annoying, and the clouds in the sky gather and disperse over and over again.

I flew westward along the river in the posture of a black eagle. Under the scorching sunlight, I couldn't hold out for too long and landed downwards, returning to my original form.

At this time, they were very close to the border of the Muwu Forest, and the flying speed of eagles was indeed much more outrageous.

A flash of black smoke passed by, and my body fell by the river, gasping for breath, with sweat pouring down my face.

It's strange. I didn't feel so tired when I turned into an eagle, but when I returned to my original form, fatigue and soreness immediately invaded my body.

This feeling of exhaustion even exceeds the feeling I get from running non-stop for a day and a night.

I sat down by the river, panting, and talked to myself.

"Will this ability... quickly consume a lot of my physical strength?"

"It's so tiring in just such a short time. It's like loan sharking. It's not worth it."

After resting for a while, my own immortal body began to work and began to restore my strength. However, because this was not a physical injury, the recovery speed was abnormally slow.

I sat by the river, my vision went dark, and I felt like my lungs were about to explode. Now I couldn't even clench my fists, and I temporarily lost all my fighting power.

It seems that the timing of using this ability needs to be carefully considered.

Unlike usual, this time it was purely physical fatigue. I felt like every inch of my muscles was aching, as if they were twisted into a knot.

I put my feet into the lake with a tired look on my face. The cold water relieved my fatigue a little. I couldn't help but let out a long sigh, closed my eyes, and waited for my strength to recover.

Why did that mysterious guy abandon me in such a remote place? I can’t figure it out. After all, there doesn’t seem to be anything special here.

Or is it just random?

Snap! Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking branches in the woods. I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was just a wild animal stepping on the branches on the ground.

However, the next moment, I lowered my body slightly, and the cold muzzle of a gun was already pressed against the back of my head.

"Don't move. This gun could go off accidentally."

A man's voice sounded behind me, unhurried but sounding fairly young.

At the moment, my strength has not recovered yet and I have no ability to fight back, so I sighed softly and said helplessly.

"I don't have the strength to move now."

Hearing this, the man behind him couldn't help but chuckle softly, but there was no hostility in his voice.

"Hahahaha, you're not going to run into a blind bear in the forest, are you?"

"Then you are really unlucky. That stupid bear is quite scary when it runs."

I smiled without explaining anything. This is the border of the forest, so it's normal to have people here. I just don't know if this guy is short of food.

After a moment, the muzzle of the gun that was against the back of my head slowly moved away, and the man behind me took a big step forward and came to my side. He smiled heroically, stretched out his hand to me, and asked.

"Can you stand up?"

Like his voice, he looked young, energetic and dark.

I narrowed my eyes slightly, then shook my head, rejected the man's kindness, and spoke softly.

"No, I still like holding girls' hands."

When the young man heard this, he was not angry. Instead, he laughed and looked at me with curious eyes and said.

"You are an interesting person. It's such a pity that you died here."

"I'm not trying to scare you. That blind bear likes to come here to catch fish."

"When it comes, you will die miserably."

I moved my legs. Although my strength had not yet fully recovered, it should be able to support me walking. So I slowly stood up, moving slowly like a person with physical disabilities, and asked the young man.

"Where should I go?"

The young man seemed frightened by my self-righteousness. After a moment of silence, he spoke helplessly in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll lead the way for you."

As he spoke, the young man put away the shotgun in his hand, stepped forward, walked in front of me, and muttered to himself.

"Strange, I'm the one with the gun, how come you look more like a leader than me?"

I didn't say anything because I had just discovered that my health was much worse than I had imagined.

I moved my legs breathlessly, and only at this moment did I realize the price of using the ability to transform.

My unsolvable self-healing ability seems to be completely suppressed. Of course, I don't doubt my immortality. Even if you shoot me in the head now, I will only be resurrected later.

I was lost in thought, and after walking for a while, I heard the young man in front of me chattering away.

"You are so lucky to have met such a good person like me."

"If it were anyone else, they would definitely leave you here and use you as bait to ambush that blind bear."

"By the way, your skin looks good, and you look okay too. Have you ever been a celebrity? Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to maintain such good looks."

"Have you ever encountered unspoken rules?"

"Have you ever taken sheep placenta?"

"Are you much older than you look?"

The man's questions came one after another, a little noisy, and I didn't know how to answer any of them. I could only move my feet and speak helplessly.

"Compared to these unimportant things, don't you have more important things to ask?"

Hearing this, the young man in front stopped, turned around with some confusion, and said in confusion.

"For example?"

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I pointed at myself and spoke slowly.

"For example, asking who I am, why I am here, and what my purpose is."

The young man became even more confused after hearing this. He rubbed the side of his face with the shotgun in his hand and said with a strange look on his face.

"If I ask you these things, will you tell me?"

I was stunned when I heard that, then shook my head slightly and answered awkwardly.

"……Won't."

After hearing my answer, the young man looked at me as if I were a retard and said with extreme contempt.

"Why should I ask if you can't answer?"

"Are you stupid or am I stupid?"

What's going on with this statement? It sounds so reasonable, yet so full of loopholes.

I felt like my thoughts were being led astray by this strange young man. After a moment, I sorted out my thoughts and said speechlessly.

"I'll still tell you the name honestly."

The young man rolled his eyes, then asked me slowly, as if he was forced by me.

"Your name is?"

I smiled when I heard that, and then answered sincerely.

"My last name is Ajie."

"Of course, you can also call me Brother Jie."

Chapter 18: Movie Maniac (Part 2)

"My last name is Ajie."

"Of course, you can also call me Brother Jie."

For no reason, I said this fake-sounding name on a whim, but the interesting thing is that the other party didn't doubt anything, but nodded and replied.

"Hello, Brother Jie, I'm Wu Xidixi."

Well, I was wrong, he didn't believe my nonsense at all.

However, we did not continue to waste time on this topic. Instead, we walked forward while chatting casually.

The young man in front of me is a little hard for me to understand. In this apocalypse, I have met many people, but the guy in front of me is different from all of them.

He looked very casual, striding ahead, not considering at all whether I would suddenly attack him from behind. He didn't even care about my origins, and seemed not to care at all why I suddenly appeared.

Such behavior should not appear in someone who has lived in the apocalypse for a year.

Finally, unable to hold back my curiosity, I asked him first.

"Are you going to take me to your base?"

Hearing this, the young man kept walking without even turning his head, as if he had heard a joke, and shook his head and chuckled.

"How could there be any human settlement in such a damn place?"

"Don't you see? This forest is far from the city. In the summer, there are poisonous snakes and bears."

"How could anyone be so foolish as to establish a base in a place like this?"

Yes, this area is far away from the city, and the forest is incredibly large. In the early days of the apocalypse, people would not choose to travel long distances to such a place.

Moreover, even before the end of the world, there would not be many humans living here.

I became more and more curious about the young man in front of me, so I continued to ask.

"Then why are you here?"

The young man still refused to stop. He turned his back to me, strode forward, and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Because I'm the protagonist."

"what?"

This outrageous answer made my eyes twitch and I began to doubt the mental state of this young man.

The young man suddenly turned around, smiled at me heartily, and said very confidently.

"Looking back on the first half of my life, it would be totally unfair if I wasn't the protagonist."

I was puzzled, but I didn't ask any further questions. I just followed the young man quietly.

Although I had a lot of questions, my weak physical strength still limited my curiosity. Compared with my thirst for knowledge, I wanted to eat something and have a good sleep.

When I stopped asking questions, the young man didn't say anything else. He seemed to see my weakness, took out a piece of dried meat from his pocket and threw it to me.

"This is snake jerky. Although it doesn't taste very good, I think it's better than chocolate."
