"My friend's wife waited for him all her life."

"No one would agree to such an ending."

There was a flash of surprise in the old man's eyes. He looked at me again and again, and finally looked away. He turned his gaze to Cangwu and asked tentatively.

"What about you, brother? You don't have any nonsense about your wife waiting for you, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Cangwu immediately smiled and waved at the old man with a smile.

"No, no, no, even if I did, it wouldn't matter."

"And I think Qiu Rou really likes me."

"but……"

Cangwu changed the subject, and the brief smile on his face slowly faded away. After a pause, he slowly spoke.

"I am a beast."

Hearing this, the old man and I fell silent at the same time. The old man looked surprised, but I was a little bit unbelievable. From the very beginning, Cangwu showed a strong interest in Qiu Rou, and I never thought that he would refuse.

Although judging from Qiu Rou's expression behind the old man, even if Cangwu didn't refuse, this matter would not be accomplished.

Cangwu reached out his hand, slowly took the old man's map, and slowly spoke.

“I may be nice to someone, but it won’t last long and I’ll forget it easily.”

"Most importantly, those who stayed with me did not have a good ending."

"It's not that I don't want to give them a good ending."

"I just can't do it."

“I may be nice to someone, but it won’t last long and I’ll forget it easily.”

"Most importantly, those who stayed with me did not have a good ending."

"It's not that I don't want to give them a good ending."

"I just can't do it."

The old man stared at Cangwu in a daze, came to his senses after a moment, frowned slightly, smacked his lips, and spoke in a low voice.

"If you can't do it, just say no. Why are you so good at pretending?"

"..."

The muscles on Cangwu's face twitched slightly, and he looked unusually embarrassed, as if he himself felt a little ashamed of what he had just said. His face turned red and he retreated silently.

While trying to hold back my laughter, I patted Cangwu's shoulder. I wanted to give him a comforting look, but it ended up being an undisguised mockery.

The old man was quite straightforward. After skipping this topic, he shifted his gaze to me again and asked.

"Young man, what do you think of the remaining nine people in the tunnel? Can you take them with you?"

I took a step forward and spoke gently.

"As long as you are willing, old man, you can bring as many people as you want."

The old man was quite surprised, and he grinned and started laughing.

"You are quite interesting, young man. I thought you would not take them with you."

"After all, they weren't very friendly to you at first."

I shrugged slightly, with indifference between my brows, without explaining anything, I just answered softly.

"I never have high expectations for strangers, so their behavior is not a big deal."

Having seen all the tragedies of the end of the world, I am tired of all the tricks that test human nature. No matter what era, human nature cannot stand the test.

So I wouldn't be surprised by anything this test turns out to be.

When it comes down to it, humans are actually chameleon-like creatures that change according to their living environment.

If you want this group of people to become more human, you have to give them a suitable environment.

And on that, I’ll give them that.

"Old man, do you really want to go with us?"

"This tunnel is very safe, and you have enough food reserves. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Upon hearing this, the old man sighed helplessly, sat cross-legged on the cold ground, and spoke slowly.

"In fact, the food reserves here are almost gone."

"Those people may be annoying, but their concerns are not groundless. Although the amount of food stored in the tunnel is huge, that food will also go bad."

"Besides, being a mouse for the rest of my life is not a big deal. At my age, I am already half buried in the ground, so before I am completely buried in the ground, I still want to get some more sun."

As he spoke, the old man touched his old face, spat on the ground, and smacked his lips.

"Tsk, this damn place is too humid. My joints hurt so much every day."

"It won't be long before I can't even hold a bow and arrow."

"Whatever you are going to do, do it quickly."

Cangwu and I looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook our heads. The Reformed Church is not easy to deal with, and it would be too difficult to expect it to be quick.

In fact, Cangwu and I are ready to stay here for a few years. Just like we transformed the Corpse God Cult, we will spend a lot of time to turn the Reformed Church into a real human stronghold.

Therefore, the old man’s expectation may have to wait for a while.

There was no conversation that night. Because we were in the tunnel, Cangwu and I didn't know the exact time. When I woke up naturally, I pulled Cangwu and left the tunnel.

When I came to the surface, I realized that I woke up a little too early. The moon was still hanging in the night sky. At this time, it was only close to midnight, and there were still a few hours before sunrise.

I couldn't sleep, so I pulled Cangwu, who was looking resentful, and forced him into the car. We followed the map given by the old man and started heading towards the Reformed Church.

Along the way, Cangwu was quite resentful towards me and kept nagging me, thinking that I had disturbed his sleep.

This bastard was just looking for trouble. If he wanted to sleep, he could have done so in the car, but he had to nag in my ear. If he hadn't been hiding in the back seat, I would have definitely punched him in the face.

After driving for another two hours, Cangwu and I both found that tonight seemed a little strange.

"It's...very quiet tonight."

Zombies at night are often unusually active, running around excitedly as if they were on drugs, but tonight Cangwu and I didn’t see any zombies.

Something is wrong, very wrong.

Something strange must be happening at this moment.

Cangwu reacted quickly. He quickly took out a telescope from the car and observed the surroundings. I frowned, slowed down the car, and waited for Cangwu's observation results.

After a moment, Cangwu put down the telescope in his hand with a serious expression.

"It's strange, there's not a single zombie around here."

I felt more and more uneasy. The number of zombie humans was so huge that it was despairing. In such a plain, zombies should be everywhere.

Why, there aren't any zombies here.

This is a strange thing that I have never encountered in my hundreds of reincarnations, and I have no clue what it is.

After thinking for a moment, I stopped the car and planned to get out to check, but at this moment, Cangwu put his hand on my shoulder, forced me back to my position, and said in a low voice.

"Don't forget our purpose. Don't get involved before we resolve the issue of Reformation."

"Whatever happened here, it's not something that can be handled by just you and me."

I hesitated for a moment, but finally listened to Cangwu's advice. I didn't get out of the car, but restarted it and drove towards the original destination, the Reformed Church.

According to the map the old man gave us, Cangwu and I had deviated by about twenty miles. Fortunately, at the speed the car was traveling, this error was completely negligible.

Although I don’t know why the zombies nearby suddenly disappeared, without those annoying guys, the car’s speed finally returned to its original level.

Three hours later, Cangwu and I successfully arrived near the Reformed Church. It was already dawn, and the morning star in the night sky was flickering faintly in the morning mist.

Cangwu and I hid the car in the woods, and using the cover of the trees, we looked at the Reformed Church stronghold from afar.

To our surprise, the wall of the small town stronghold of the Reformed Church had already been built. This was incredible because, in my memory, it should take another year to build this stronghold.

Is there something... that helped the Reformed Church complete this task ahead of time?

I became more and more uneasy, and hid in the woods with Cangwu. We had no intention of getting close to the current Reformed Church stronghold, but instead planned to observe more Reformed Churches.

But as time passed, the sky finally brightened. In the early morning sunlight, Cangwu and I looked at the Reformed Church in the distance. Finally, we couldn't help it and sneaked towards the Reformed Church's stronghold.

Just when Cangwu and I had sneaked to the wall of the Reformed Church, Cangwu's face changed. He grabbed me who was throwing the grappling hook and said with a frown.

"Su Li, don't you think so?"

"Isn't this city... a little too quiet?"

Chapter 84: Mutation

"Su Li, this city... isn't it a little too quiet!"

In the early morning, there was a little moisture in the air, and the Reformed town was like a silhouette, a dead object, without any sound.

I squinted my eyes in the slight sound of the wind and gradually became alert.

At such a close distance, it was impossible for the Reformed town not to hear any sound.

There were no guards, no sounds, and the whole town seemed like a ghost town. Could it be that the Reformed Church was performing some strange religious ritual?

I slowly moved to the town's crude gate, the gate of the Reformed Church, which was made extremely crudely and even had several large holes. I gripped the revolver tightly, pressed my body against the door panel, and looked inside cautiously.

However, there was a car at the entrance of the stronghold, which blocked my view completely and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Seeing this, I sighed, touched the revolver in my hand, turned around and said to Cangwu behind me.

"There's something wrong in there. I'm going to force my way in and take a look."

"Please pay attention to your own safety."

After saying that, without looking at Cangwu's reaction, I suddenly raised my foot and kicked towards the simple gate of the stronghold. The moment my foot was raised, the black mist instantly wrapped around my legs, and my bones, flesh and blood were transformed into a constantly moving iron block, and I kicked it hard on the wooden door.

Bang! With a muffled sound, the simple wooden door shattered instantly and turned into fragments all over the ground. Amid the flying wood chips, I stepped in quickly with my revolver in my hand and rushed into the town.

Relying on my immortality, I didn't have any intention of hiding and walked straight past the car blocking my way. The next moment, I stopped abruptly, looked ahead, and my body swayed in horror.

However, I saw countless corpses piled up like a hill, and countless white turbid eyeballs separated from the corpses and piled together. The dilated pupils were slightly turned, facing the direction of me and Cangwu.

There was no trace of blood, nor any signs of fighting, only countless purple flowers quietly blooming above the corpse, occupying the entire town.

That’s purple…ephemeral cereus.

In an instant, countless memories flooded into my mind, but no matter how hard I thought, in my vast memory, there had never been any memory of purple Epiphyllum.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on here?"

I looked at the corpses all over the ground with a complicated expression. I had imagined many scenes when I came here, but I never thought that before I came here, the entire Reformed Church had been completely destroyed.

Cangwu was very cautious and did not approach the purple Epiphyllums. He held the pistol in both hands, lowered his voice, and asked me.

"Su Li, are these the Epiphyllums you told me about? Why are the colors different?"

Hearing this, I was a little confused and answered with a puzzled look on my face.

"I don't know, this is the first time I've seen an epiphyllum like this."

Hearing this, Cangwu's eyes flashed, and he made a decision instantly. He stepped forward quickly and grabbed my sleeve.

"Then what are you still standing there for? Run."

For Cangwu, the unknown represented danger, but unfortunately, he was still a step too slow.

The moment he grabbed my sleeve, the countless purple night-blooming cereus seemed to be blown by the wind, swaying and swaying, and countless pollens diffused out. A strange fragrance immediately filled the entire field.

Needless to say, Cangwu, who had been persecuted for a long time, held his breath and retreated quickly. But at the same time, the ground suddenly bulged, and a purple vine, like a waving whip, hit Cangwu heavily.

The long whip was much more powerful than it looked. With a loud bang, Cangwu's body flew backwards. After rolling on the ground for a few times in a panic, he became silent and seemed to have fainted.

But I know that guy is definitely pretending to be dead.

I also held my breath and nimbly dodged the purple vines that were coming at me, while quickly scanning the surroundings.

Among the pile of corpses, a body slowly stood up. It was a young girl with long fluttering hair and purple lines on her face, which brightened and darkened with her breathing.
