The mute woman, who still seemed tireless, led the way ahead.

Soon, the bus stopped in front of a villa.

Cobras and a few others got off the bus and fiddled with a small battery in front of the villa's gate.

Drip -

Snap -

The electronic lock on the gate was opened, and the Cobras quickly pushed the gate open, allowing the bus to drive straight in.

It must be said that professionals were different.

When Lucas saw the locked gate of the villa earlier, his first thought was to accelerate and crash through it.

But the Cobras said they had a way to open the gate.

Lucas thought it was good that the Cobras had this skill, saving them the trouble of fixing the gate later.

The width of the villa's garage was enough, but the height was not, so the bus could only park next to the main entrance of the house.

Under Lucas's instruction, the mute woman rushed into the villa again to check the safety situation.

Lucas also got off the bus, holding a powerful flashlight and accompanied by the celebrity named Anna, they circled the villa to observe the situation.

The infected dog and its young owner also followed eagerly behind.

"Have you figured out how to absorb the insect cores?" Lucas looked at Anna, who seemed a little nervous.

Lucas was full of curiosity about the first evolved human he had encountered in this lifetime.

In the previous life, for eleven years, he only knew that evolved humans were powerful, but he had little understanding of how they evolved.

"Can you teach me?" Anna stopped and turned to ask, deliberately getting close to Lucas, almost leaning against him.

"Our situations are different, and you have to figure it out yourself."

Stolen story; please report.

Lucas spoke calmly and distanced himself slightly from Anna, whose strong perfume scent had diminished.

"Don't use perfume in the future. I don't like it, and it's not safe. Insects might be attracted by the scent."

Lucas's voice instantly turned cold.

In the apocalypse, countless women could be manipulated by others just for a little food. Lucas didn't like that approach.

Your useful skills and value are the most important factors to measure human worth in the apocalypse.

"Well, if you don't like it, I won't use perfume anymore."

Lucas's indifferent tone didn't seem to have any effect. On the contrary, it made Anna's voice turn sweet again, sounding like she was acting cute.

"Cobras, if the house is safe, you should go to the generator room later and restore the power to the house."

"Before starting the generator, make sure to soundproof the generator room to minimize the noise."

Lucas changed the topic, not wanting to dwell on this issue any longer.

This kind of villa definitely has a generator, and the power output should be substantial.

Since they were going to live here for a long time, they couldn't do without electricity.

From the onset of the apocalypse until now, which was only five days, there were still more than ten days before the nuclear explosion.

This villa would serve as their headquarters for those ten-plus days, and Lucas had already made some plans.

His plan was to take the mute woman to fight monsters and level up, while also improving the team's survival skills as quickly as possible to deal with the ongoing evolution wave.

After more than ten minutes, the mute woman inspected the entire villa and found no signs of danger. The owners of this villa were all dead, seemingly suicides, with bodies lying in several rooms.

Without exception, they all had a bullet hole in their temples.

Looking at the decaying bodies being carried out by the Cobras, Lucas felt a sense of emotion.

Having money allowed one to enjoy many things, but in the face of such a catastrophe, there was hardly any way to cope.

The bodies in the house had decayed to the point where their appearance was unrecognizable. Regardless of the prestige these bodies had in their lifetimes, they were incomparable to Lucas, who was still alive and well.

Lucas chose a room on the ground floor for himself. It was a servant's room, and he didn't find any bodies or unpleasant odors.

As for the rooms chosen by others, Lucas couldn't be bothered to inquire.

The reason he chose the servant's room on the ground floor was simply a lack of security.

Outside the servant's room window was the bus, so if there was danger, he could quickly return to the bus in the shortest amount of time.

If it weren't for the fact that the bus didn't currently have beds, Lucas would definitely be living directly on the bus.

Anna chose a room next to Lucas, another servant's room. Although she discovered two bodies in the room, she endured it.

Anna stood at the doorway of her room, about to ask the mute woman, who came down from upstairs, which room she had chosen. But she saw Lucas say something to the mute woman.

"You'll be sharing a room with me."

Seeing the mute woman enter Lucas's room, Anna felt a sense of dissatisfaction.

"I'm a celebrity, and I don't even have the privilege of warming his bed!"

At this moment, Anna felt a bit heartbroken and hated this damn apocalypse.

She understood that the days when she was adored by thousands of people were gone forever...

Lucas naturally had no interest in Anna's thoughts and fell asleep on the bed.

The Cobras were repairing the power supply and were currently soundproofing the generator room.

The mute woman didn't stay in Lucas's room. She didn't need rest and went straight to sit on top of the bus, acting as a sentinel and keeping watch.

Poor Anna, a prominent celebrity, had now become someone no one paid attention to.

Only the infected dog and its young owner were moving up and down in the villa, doing who knows what.

The rooms were too smelly, and the stench of decaying bodies hadn't dissipated. Anna had no choice but to walk into the villa's courtyard and sit by the pool, watching the mute woman on the roof of the bus.

It was dark all around, and Anna could see a flickering golden light from the mute woman's eyes from time to time, like a cellphone indicator light.

"She must also be an evolved human, and a powerful one at that."

Thinking about the mute woman frequently getting off the bus to kill zombies, Anna suddenly felt a sense of inferiority.

"When will I become as strong as her?"

Sighing in her heart, Anna took out the red insect core that Lucas had given her.

The red and black intermingled insect core was not conspicuous in the darkness.

Anna had tried many methods to figure out how to absorb its energy, but none of them worked.

Now, stimulated by the mute woman, Anna's hand holding the insect core inexplicably moved towards her mouth.

It was as if a voice inside Anna's mind was constantly urging her to swallow the insect core.
