Jiang Li looked up at the motionless ceiling. At this moment, Dafu, who was lying lazily under the old tree, suddenly pricked up his ears and barked toward the courtyard door.
This movement made Jiang Li in the room startled and couldn't help but guess, could it be that Qian Laosan is here again?
Jiang Li's eyes darkened, but she quickly changed into clothes that were convenient for movement, picked up the baseball bat placed next to the bed and walked towards the courtyard door.
When Dafu in the yard saw Jiang Li coming out, he got up and ran to the gate of the yard to block Jiang Li behind him. His brown pupils were locked tightly on the gate, and he let out a series of low roars in his throat.
The big man Li Hongtian standing outside the courtyard couldn't help but feel a chill on his back when he heard the barking of dogs inside. It wasn't that he was afraid of dogs, but he thought of the family who returned home with him. All five members of the family were beaten. A mutated wild dog mauled him to death.
Li Hongtian considers himself not a timid person, but he can't help but shudder every time he thinks about it.
Hearing the barking of the dog in the yard, he hesitated for a moment whether to knock on the door. Finally, he remembered his mother's instructions and gritted his teeth and knocked on the door.
"Knock knock..."
"Ahem, I'm Li Hongtian... Is anyone here?" Li Hongtian's slightly uncomfortable voice sounded outside the courtyard door.
Hearing this, Jiang Li raised her eyebrows in surprise. How could this person take the initiative to come to him? But she still reached out and touched Dafu's head soothingly, signaling Dafu to calm down the aggression that was leaking out.
She would not be harmed within the confines of the hotel, so Jiang Li opened the courtyard door without much hesitation, only to see Li Hongtian's mountain-like figure standing outside her courtyard door.
Jiang Li raised her eyes and looked at him, "What's the matter?"
Li Hongtian seemed to be frightened by Dafu next to Jiang Li, but he couldn't help but stepped back.
"Many people have returned from the village. I heard from them that many monsters have appeared in other cities. Even the number of monsters in the town seems to have increased."
Hearing this, Jiang Li looked at him, "What next?"
Li Hongtian rubbed the back of his head, "They said we would all have a meeting together in the evening. It seems they are going to discuss working together to collect supplies..."
"My mother asked me to tell you that it is not safe for you to live alone as a girl." Li Hongtian relayed Grandma Zhou's instructions and worries about her.
Although Jiang Li thanked Granny Zhou for thinking of her, she had no intention of getting involved, so she could only decline politely, "Uncle Li, thank you for your kindness, but I'm used to being alone, so I won't participate in the evening affairs."
Hearing this, Li Hongtian was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that the thin and thin Jiang Li would refuse to participate without hesitation. He frowned with some disapproval, "Are you sure you don't want to participate?"
"What would you do if you, a girl, encountered those monsters outside? Have you thought about the consequences?"
"And this is no joke, you will lose your life if you are not careful!"
It was rare for Li Hongtian to persuade Jiang Li with sincerity, but he still insisted on a polite refusal, and when he saw this, Li Hongtian stopped speaking.
Damn it, it's hard to persuade him with words. As an outsider, he has already said all he needs to say. Jiang Li doesn't want to participate, so he won't waste any more words. He is an adult and must be responsible for his own choices. He can say whatever he wants. Even though Jiang Li couldn't be persuaded, Li Hongtian had no choice but to turn around and return to the left bank.
Jiang Li looked at Li Hongtian's strong back and was silent for a moment, then suddenly called him, "Uncle Li——"
Li Hongtian turned to look at her with confusion, "What's wrong?"
After a brief tangle, Jiang Li pursed her lips and walked in front of him. Dafu beside him also followed closely.
She lowered her voice subconsciously, "There is something in the zombie's brain. If you are not afraid of disgusting it, you can find it and keep it."
Hearing this, Li Hongtian stared at her and subconsciously asked, "What is it?"
"You'll know then. That's all I know." Jiang Li replied calmly, without any trace of lying.
Although Li Hongtian seems to be a big and three-dimensional person, he is actually a smart man who is both rough and fine. If it is just an ordinary thing, why should he be reminded of it? His expression was somewhat thoughtful.
"Why did you tell me? Aren't you afraid that I would tell others the news?" Li Hongtian asked tentatively.
Jiang Li didn't seem surprised by his doubts, and just turned her gaze in the direction of Zuo An, "I just hope you can protect Granny Zhou and live a good life..."
She paused for a moment and then said, "And I don't like to owe favors. As for whether you will tell others or not, that is your decision and has nothing to do with me."
Hearing this, Li Hongtian couldn't help but laugh out loud. Originally, he had a bit of fierceness, but now he had a bit of hearty and heroic spirit. "You girl, you have such a strange temper towards me!"
He originally wanted to reach out and pat Jiang Li on the shoulder, but Dafu stared at him so closely that Li Hongtian had no choice but to retract his hand.
"Ahem, Xiao Jiang, don't worry, I can't guarantee anything else! But if you are strict with your words, no one will dare to call you first if Uncle Li is ranked second!" Li Hongtian patted his chest, making a loud banging sound.
After saying that, Li Hongtian returned to the left bank, and Jiang Li also returned to the courtyard. To be honest, she was really not worried that Li Hongtian would tell the story.
As early as yesterday, she asked the system that ordinary first-level crystal nuclei can only promote basic physical strengthening of the human body. If you want to further forcibly evolve, you must have second-level or even higher-level crystal nuclei, and second-level crystal nuclei Nuclei often grow in the heads of mutated second-level zombies.
The human body is like an empty container. Ordinary first-level crystal nuclei are like water poured into it. When the water cup is filled with water, it is futile to forcefully inject more water. The only thing that can change the status quo is upgrading. Become a larger container, and higher-level crystal cores are important props for container upgrades.
Anyway, she never planned to hide the news about the crystal core for her whole life. Sooner or later, they would all know about it, so Jiang Li never worried that Li Hongtian would tell others. She told him in advance just because she really didn't want to owe a favor.
Although she has been alone since she was a child, she can still distinguish between good intentions and bad intentions? Grandma Zhou has missed her grandma and herself since she was a child, so she naturally hopes that Grandma Zhou will live well.
Dafu on the side seemed to notice that Jiang Li was depressed for a moment, and he took the initiative to rub the tip of his nose against Jiang Li's palm. Her appearance was reflected in his bright brown pupils, and his big black tail swayed behind him.
The bright animal eyes looked at her quietly in a comforting and tolerant way, as if to say gently, "Don't be sad."
Jiang Li's heart softened when she saw Dafu's bright eyes. She smiled and touched Dafu's head, and said softly, "Let's go! Go and see our new home!"
"Woof!" Dafu narrowed his eyes happily and barked softly, his tail wagging happily as he followed Jiang Li.
