"Mom, I'm sorry." Jian Huan Yao hugged An Rong Ru tightly and said in a low voice: "Actually, I killed those monsters, all of whom were people from around our house. If I didn't kill them, they would eventually become a threat to our family. And at that time, you hadn't returned yet, Mom. I was afraid that when you came back, you'd encounter danger. That's why I took it upon myself to kill them. At that time, there were also many people fleeing for their lives, staring at me like monsters. I thought to myself, they're actually idiots, why don't they fight back..."

  After listening to her, An Rongru raised her moist face and looked at her daughter in surprise, realizing that she had wronged her. At that time, she must have been paying attention to the changes on the internet all the time, grasping a sense of danger that others didn't have, which was why she dared to take risks to eliminate potential threats around her, so as to reduce her own danger.

  "...Actually, I killed those monster humans for a whole day and thought to myself that I was a freak, just like killing living normal people. So, one night I vomited, vomiting until my whole body ached and I fainted. When I woke up, my body seemed to be full of energy, and I went on to kill more monster humans. It seemed like my body could absorb the power of those monsters, until I discovered that I had an ability that grew stronger with each battle. That's when I realized I was different from others. At first, I secretly cried and secretly laughed like a fool, afraid that I wasn't a normal person, also afraid that mom would look at me with a strange gaze..."

  Jian Han's clear and beautiful eyes sparkled with clarity, but two lines of tears flowed down uncontrollably. However, she still maintained a smiling face, as if not wanting her mother to think she was a stranger who had lost her senses, only wanting her mother to dote on her as before.

  An Rongru did not apologize, and Jian Huan Yao also did not resent her mother for hitting herself in unclear circumstances.

  The mother and daughter have a tacit understanding, as if nothing unpleasant had ever happened between them.

  Mu Xiao gazed at Jian Huan Yao with extreme seriousness, originally already holding her in high esteem, but unexpectedly she had a mental quality that far exceeded his expectations.

  Her achievements were never accidental, but inevitable!

  Mu Shuo had doubts that An Rong Yu hadn't died, wondering if it would prevent her from becoming a strong person. After all, in the future, An Rong Yu's death was what stimulated her to grow into an ultra-strong female lead. But now it seems there's no need to think about unnecessary things, because she already possesses the qualities of a strong person. As long as she is guided normally on her path of evolution, she will definitely be stronger than that future version of herself, not weaker.

  "Since you have combat experience, we can first take down Song Tianhu and his gang, absorb their strength, and intimidate the rest. If anyone disobeys, kill them directly." Mu Xiao wasn't a kind-hearted person either; he didn't mind using force to eliminate anyone who stood in his way.

  "Although I've been displeased with you from start to finish, your words now are exactly to my taste." Jian Huan Yao deeply agreed.

  She soon said: "Do we Ability Holders also have power? Isn't it only monsters that have it?"

  Mushuo saw that she was half-understanding about the new human, so he had no choice but to elaborate on most of the content.

  Half an hour later.

  "Damn it! Those owners and security guards, they were actually after my abilities all along. No wonder more than a dozen of the over twenty neutral guys died without knowing what was going on. It turns out these bastards have been secretly killing their own kind to obtain other people's evolution source and ability source, just to increase their power!"

  "Excessive absorption ability will only become an obstacle to one's own evolution, and may even leave hidden dangers." Mu Xiao did not think highly of those new humans with chaotic absorption abilities, unless they understood how to synthesize their abilities and comprehend the characteristics of each one, otherwise they would be joking about their own future and life.

  "What kind of evolution direction should I take in the future?" Jian Huan Yao hit the snake with a stick, her simple and white face, with a harmless smile that was as pure as an angel, giving people a good feeling and trust, but she hid a vicious devil inside.

  She knew that Muxiao was not a simple guy, and even had a lot of information about the new humans. Naturally, she wanted to dig out more valuable things from him. So, she didn't mind selling her smile, then getting everything from him, and severely retaliating against him for bullying her.

  "As long as you listen to me and follow my advice, I will naturally teach you how to become a strong new human being." Mu Xiao thought that if he couldn't see through this girl's thoughts, all his past experiences would have gone to waste.

  In an instant, Jian Huan Yao's smiling face finally retracted, turning into a displeased expression that was a universe apart from her previously innocent and harmless look.

  "Hmph."

  She clutched her chest with both hands and let out a loud sigh.

  Although Jian Huan Yao's expression was not pleasant, she did not refuse Mu Xiao's words. In An Rong Rou's heart, this was a good start. She secretly let out a sigh of relief. What she feared most was that her daughter would stubbornly resist Mu Xiao to the end, and then she would find it difficult to please both sides.

  Actually, Jian Huan Yao has a clever and somewhat strange mind. She can't help but notice that her mother and the terrifying man in front of her have some sort of relationship. Maybe they really haven't done anything, but they must have had some kind of intimate contact. She doesn't want her mother to have another man, because all those people before had ulterior motives for getting close to her mother - they just wanted to get their hands on her family's wealth. But in the face of disaster, money is useless; only beauty is a temptation. However, if this man is a scoundrel, then her mother wouldn't have such a happy expression...

  Jian Han Yao had a lot of wild thoughts and also guessed many things, so she didn't want the relationship between the three to become too awkward, making it difficult for her mother. Moreover, with this man as the pioneer and shield, she could secretly learn from him while safely increasing her strength, which was really not a bad thing.

  A faint smile played on her lips.

  Mu Xiao glanced at her, although unclear what evil thoughts she had, but with a sense of intuition related to himself, probably she wanted to take advantage of him. Unfortunately, she encountered Mu Xiao, who would only end up dragging herself in as well...

  "Our first target is Song Tianhu, wherever he is, I'll go kill him and stir up a conflict between the security guards and the property owners. By the time they've beaten each other half to death, we can come out and clean up the mess." Mu Xiao had already devised a perfect plan in just a few words.

  Mushan is absolutely the strongest person in the villa district, secondly she and An Rongru and Jian Hanyao have become a hidden small force, overall strength is not much different from more than ten new humans.

  "Right." Mu Xiao suddenly remembered something and asked: "Are those more than a dozen new humans composed of bodyguards and staff still in the villa area?"

  "They didn't leave, but I think they will be driven away by both the landlord and security sides soon." Jian Han said: "They only focus on enhancing their combat power, not accepting survivors, nor joining either side. They may also have the idea of leaving this place and seeking a second way out."

  "Oh." Mu Xiao didn't think for a moment before asking: "Why don't they join one of the parties?"

  "The security personnel's way of doing things is too ridiculous and inhumane. The property owners are already superior beings, now they've become a new species. Even if the over ten people who joined have different identities, there will still be some prejudice from the property owners, unable to treat everyone equally. Moreover, those bodyguards and staff may not want to be inferior for their whole lives."

  Jian Han Yao's expression of disapproval clearly hit the nail on the head.

  New humans have the qualification to grasp their own destiny and freedom.

  "Are there any trustworthy bodyguards or staff among the neutral party? Is it possible to pull them over to our side?" Mu Xiao wasn't very familiar with the people in the villa district, so she threw this question at An Rongru and Jian Huanxiao, wondering what the chances were.

  "Aren't you very strong? Why do you need to borrow power?" Jian Huan Yao said with a hint of mockery.

  "Haven't you noticed that this place is rarely attacked by mutated monsters?" Mu Xiao said.

  "Why?" Jian Huan Yao didn't miss a chance to get more information.

  "If a place has a large number of new humans gathered, the variant monsters will sense that they can't match up and won't recklessly launch a surprise attack..."

  Suddenly, Mu Xiao's tone changed again, and he said: "But as time goes on, some variant humans will unite with many zombies to launch a zombie tide, and the powerful variants will take advantage of the opportunity to kill a large number of new humans, thereby enhancing their own evolution. So, if we can leave behind some new humans, we should also leave behind some."

  "And also, this is a good base, isn't it?" An Xiangru said with a hint of meaning.

  "Mm." Mu Xiao nodded and said.

  "Han Yao, tell me about those bodyguards and staff members. Does mom recognize them? Can they persuade them?" An Rongru asked.

  She treats employees well and is very generous. If others mention old relationships, there will be some persuasive effect.

  "I know someone who will definitely listen to your advice, and he just so happens to be the leader of that group of new humans." Jian Huan Yao smiled awkwardly, her eyes darting towards Mu Xiao with a somewhat gloating look.

  "We'll talk about this later." An Rongyu's expression was slightly unnatural.

  She took one look at her daughter's expression and intuitively knew who she was referring to, worried that it would arouse Mu Xiao's suspicions, so she didn't want her daughter to say anything.

  Unfortunately, Jian Huan-yao said it out loud. Mu Xiao had always remained calm, but also knew that An Rong-ru was hiding something.

  "Pang Xuejun, Pang Baobiao, Manager Pang, he should listen to you very carefully, after all, he used to be your bodyguard, and then you promoted him to be the manager of the villa area, and he has always been loyal to you, now that you are going to persuade him, it's definitely possible to..."

  "Hanyao, you're talking more and more nonsense!" An Rongru covered the little guy's mouth, her white and plump face, charmingly red and beautiful, quietly sizing up Mu Xiao, only feeling at ease when she found he didn't mind.

  Jian Han Yu pulled open An Rong Ru's hand and said: "Actually, Uncle Pang has looked for me several times, asking me to stay with them because it would be safer. But I have my own self-defense abilities, so I didn't join them. Actually, he is a good person and a just person, I can feel it."

  As she spoke, she deliberately or unintentionally glanced at Mu Xi and secretly squeezed out that Mu Xiao was not a good person.

  An Rongru was about to explain, when a loud knocking sound came from downstairs. Jian Huan Yao's relaxed body suddenly became like a fierce beast, pouncing into a room. In less than ten seconds, she fiercely pulled out an old-fashioned rocket launcher and quickly arrived at a window, shouting: "Which bastard is reporting their name!"

  "Miss Han Ya, I am Pang Xuejun." A loud and powerful voice came up.

  "It's actually Uncle Pang, wait for me for a minute." Jian Huan Yao said with a smile that was not quite a smile, and followed the wooden Xiao Dao: "Ah, just mention Cao Cao and he arrives..."

  She then said to An Rongyu, who was wearing a bloated defensive suit, "Mom, you should change into this set of clothes. The ones you're wearing now are really ugly."

  Mu Xiao obviously found Jian Huan Yao's childish provocation boring and ridiculous.

  "Rong Ru, let's avoid them for now." Mu Xiao said calmly: "The other party may have come for something else, we'll see the situation before deciding whether to show up or not."

  An Rongruo was afraid of being misunderstood by Mu Shuo, so she quickly nodded her head, making Jian Huan Yao feel both annoyed and helpless.
