It was late at night. Zhou Chen, who had not rested for two days, was prepared to have a good rest.

However, after dozing for about three hours, he gradually felt something unusual outside.

“Why is the wind outside getting stronger? It’s even giving off an uncomfortable aura.” He quickly walked out of his room and out of the house.

Then, he saw a terrifying scene in the distance: With his Dark Vision, near the distant horizon of the ruined city, a terrifying tree monster that towered into the clouds was fighting a huge black tornado monster.

The black tornado monster controlled a few smaller tornadoes and used them to attack the huge tree monster, but the huge tree monster could also control the ferocious branches on its body to attack; it looked like it was trying to use its branches to bind the tornado monster.

“Are those the two Calamity Grade monsters that approached Paradise City? Why does that tree monster look like it’s okay after being bombed by the nuclear bomb? No, I have to leave this place quickly.” After looking at the distance for a few seconds, Zhou Chen immediately decided to escape. He did not hesitate at all, and did not even dare to have the thought of fishing for benefits.

The two monsters were Calamity Grades, and they were too close to Zhou Chen. If they stayed here for too long, he might be contaminated.

“Lucy, let’s go south now! Old man, wake up!” He quickly ran back to the house and called Lucy and the old man to leave.

The south was the direction of retreat that Zhou Chen had decided on. Lucy said that there were many mild pollution areas there that were suitable for living.

After receiving Zhou Chen’s instructions, Lucy immediately carried her backpack and began to run, but the old man was a little tired. He had followed them around many places in the day and was quite tired. Now that he was woken up by Zhou Chen, he only felt puzzled and exhausted.

Zhou Chen picked up the old man and flew south.

“There are Calamity Grade monsters nearby! This place is very dangerous! We have to leave as soon as possible!” He explained to them as they ran.

“Yes, Captain! I saw them!”

Lucy had night vision and could see the distant scene. The old man who was being carried by Zhou Chen was stunned, but when he saw Zhou Chen’s serious expression, he knew that he was not joking.

The few of them ran south for the entire night, crossing the city ruins. They only slowed down when they reached the vast wasteland at dawn.

They encountered many monsters along the way, but they were all ordinary. Zhou Chen killed them quickly.

At this moment, the sun had already risen above the horizon. The three of them were walking to a dilapidated small house in the wasteland.

“Let’s take a rest there.”

After running for such a long time, they needed to rest to replenish their energy. Although Zhou Chen’s condition was good because his physique was strong, he also needed to rest a little to return to his peak state.

As he approached the dilapidated house, a trace of surprise suddenly flashed across Zhou Chen’s eyes.

‘There are no monsters in the house ahead, but there are two humans?’ Curious, he quickened his pace and walked over. He realized that the broken door was blocked from the inside by something.

“Hello! Is anyone there?” Knowing that there was someone inside, Zhou Chen did not force his way in and knocked.

“Who is it?” Soon, a young woman’s voice came from behind the door.

“Three passers-by. We want to rest here for some time,” Zhou Chen explained his intentions.

“Please wait.”

After a few seconds, there was a sound of something being moved away from behind the door. The broken door was opened, revealing the figure of a young woman holding a revolver and dressed plainly. Behind the woman was a girl dressed similarly simply. She was hiding behind the woman, only revealing a curious head to observe the newcomers.

“We’re also just passing by and are staying here temporarily. You are welcome to stay .”

The young woman with the revolver in her hand looked at Zhou Chen and the others calmly and made way for them.

“Thank you,” Zhou Chen was a little surprised by this smooth development. He had thought that he would be given the cold shoulder.

After entering this broken room, Zhou Chen realized that the junks on the ground had been gathered in a corner. The table and chairs, two sofas, and a bed seemed to have been cleaned.

“Old man, eat something and rest,” Zhou Chen scanned the room and instructed the weakest old man.

The old man immediately took off his backpack and sat on the sofa. Then, he took out mineral water and canned food to eat.

Zhou Chen moved the other sofa outside the house. His actions quickly caught the young woman’s attention.

“You’re so strong? Are you a mutant?” When Zhou Chen sat on the sofa outside the house to bathe in the sunlight, the young woman approached him and asked curiously.

“Yes,” Zhou Chen directly admitted. Although he was not a mutant, it was very helpful to wear this identity in this world.

“Do you want to eat some canned food?” Zhou Chen took the backpack from Lucy and took out a canned fish from it before handing it to the young woman.

“Really? This is canned meat.” The young woman was surprised when she saw the canned fish in Zhou Chen’s hand. The little girl hiding behind her subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

“It’s just a can.” Seeing that they were tempted, Zhou Chen directly threw the canned fish to the young woman.

The woman nimbly caught it and quickly checked the can. She pulled the pull tab and picked up a dry fish before handing the can to the little girl who was staring at her.

After the little girl took the can, she immediately reached out and took out a dry fish, before eating it happily.

‘The people in this world are really tragic. They are so happy even with such canned food.’

Zhou Chen did not care much about the canned fish he had just given out. He had eaten this kind of canned fish on Planet Blue, and did not want to try it again. Although its value had increased greatly in this world, he was more willing to replenish his nutrients by absorbing the sunlight.

He took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and drank two mouthfuls. Then, he opened his shirt and leaned back on the sofa to sunbathe.

Lucy also began to replenish her energy. She sat down and took out two small batteries from her backpack. She stuffed them into her mouth and swallowed them..
