I don't know when the moon quietly hid, and the surrounding area became darker. The night before dawn was always dark and uncomfortable.

It was not until dawn that Zhang Tu gradually stopped and briefly introduced Bian Guanyue, saying that he was his friend for many years and happened to be stranded here for some reason. They met by chance on the road and brought him back together.

Faced with this clumsy lie, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother readily accepted it.

As the fireworks gradually went out, Zhang Tu took the last cigarette in his mouth, greeted his parents in a low voice, and walked into the darkness in the distance.

He knew his parents were worried, so why didn't he worry about the old man who was far away in his old home.

But if he followed the rules after the mutation, the distance that was originally only a few dozen miles would now be close to hundreds of miles. Moreover, after the terrain changed drastically, he was really not sure what he would encounter on the road.

However, he looked at Bian Guanyue beside him, and everyone who could be rescued nearby had already been rescued. No matter how far away, there was nothing he could do to help, and he was no longer worry-free, so Zhang Tu felt that there was no problem in giving it a try.

A group of four people set out on the road in the dark. Fortunately, this was just the last darkness before dawn. After a while, the sky turned white. Looking at the familiar landmarks that appeared intermittently, it seemed that they were on the right track.

Every night is a death, every dawn is a rebirth. I used to face people and things happily every day, but now when I open my eyes, I feel at a loss for life.

The road was speechless, the road was messy, and the road was desolate.

"Squeak..."

The sudden sound of brakes woke up Zhang's parents and Zhang's mother from their deep sleep.

"Tutu, what's wrong?" Zhang's mother Fu Xianye asked nervously.

Zhang's father, Zhang Shunsheng, squinted his eyes and looked at the scene outside the car window without saying a word.

The corners of Bian Guanyue's mouth curved up in a sarcastic arc, and she said: "Auntie, don't panic, there must be someone who has robbed the Dao... I miss you, it's been a long time since I met someone who robbed the Dao. This profession is really long-lasting, and in troubled times, it will appear, and it is stronger than the vitality of weeds."

"Huh." Zhang Tu unbuckled his seat belt nonchalantly and said, "Okay, don't be emotional. It's better to go and have a look when you get to the owner's house. What do you think? But seeing that you are so interested, you can take care of it."

He immediately turned to Zhang's father and mother and said, "Mom and dad, please don't get down and stay in the car. At most, they will just be some little gangsters taking advantage of the chaos to ask for some money. They won't get in the way."

Fu Xianye said nervously: "If it doesn't work, we will give them some. Anyway, we brought some..."

Before Zhang's mother finished speaking, Zhang's father interrupted: "As a woman, at this time, instead of thinking about staying safe and rescuing the village neighbors, she still wants to block the way. How can she have such a small appetite? Hum, don't forget, the Tutu today is not the same as before, believe him."

Zhang Tu and Bian Guanyue looked at each other and smiled, opening the door and getting out of the car at the same time.

Looking at the scattered wooden fences not far away, there are obvious signs of man-made changes. This section of the road is not the only road, but this section still maintains the former highway, which is more comfortable to drive. But because of this, someone took advantage of this place to make some articles.

Sure enough, as Zhang Tu and Bian Guanyue got out of the car, more than a dozen figures appeared from behind the surrounding trees, tall, short, fat and thin, and oh, there was also a bright dome.

There are all kinds of things in his hands, and he can use them for everything. He even came out with a large wrench.

"Now... is the quality so bad?" Bian Guanyue looked at the dozen or so people in front of her with disgust, especially the ones with big bellies comparable to those of pregnant women, with a look of disgust on her face.

"Brothers, what do you mean?" Zhang Tu said loudly.
