Lacking What, Not Lacking the World

After explaining his intentions, the Wild Dog House quickly accepted him.

It was as if they were used to it, and some even seemed pleased.

"I'm happy to see a little guy like you participating in the hunt, brother."

"But you're unarmed, and that makes me unhappy."

Boss Doberman waved his hand, telling Golden Retriever to take a long saber from the luggage and lend it directly to Chu Yunyi.

Chu Yunyi drew the saber from its sheath. The blade was a cyan blue, exceptionally sharp. Based on standard sharpness, it was at least below 7 BESS.

BESS represents the sharpness of a blade; the lower the number, the sharper it is.

150 BESS is the level of a regular kitchen knife, and 5 BESS is the level of a brand-new surgical scalpel.

If BESS were 0, it would mean that the object being cut would break the instant it was approached.

However, that was just theoretical.

Everything was relative. To get a 0 BESS knife, one could simply heat the knife until it glowed red and then cut a fragile strand of hair, thus relatively approaching 0 BESS.

Looking at the Boss of the Wild Dog House who had bestowed the saber, Chu Yunyi's lips twitched:

"Thank you, Boss Doberman."

He wasn't quite used to people being so enthusiastic.

Chu Yunyi could easily accept people being fierce and intimidating, but he felt uncomfortable when they were overly kind.

He couldn't help it.

After all, he lived in Heitu Town, which was almost renowned as the 'Valley of Villains.'

The local customs there were truly fierce.

With a few people dying occasionally, it had actually become much quieter after the apocalypse arrived.

Having grown up in such a place, Chu Yunyi was more accustomed to people around him being selfish, calculating, and someone who could stab their companions in the back at any moment.

Unlike this world...

In Chu Yunyi's opinion, the people here, all the people in the tavern, were not as fierce as the old Jin from his previous 'Everything House'.

Looking at the boss named Doberman, Chu Yunyi scanned the surroundings.

After inquiring.

There were five people in the Wild Dog House: Doberman, Teddy, Greyhound, Golden Retriever, and Pomeranian.

Doberman was the boss, Teddy was the one with the prosthetic arm, Greyhound was the one with the broken leg, Golden Retriever was the one carrying the luggage, and Pomeranian was the only female.

However, none of this was important to Chu Yunyi.

Once he familiarized himself with the methods of the mutated creatures from beyond the domain, he could hunt them himself.

Then he would get a suit of nano-skin, obtain a good saber, and leave.

These people were merely fleeting figures in his life.

After resting here for a while, the entire team known as the Wild Dog House was ready to set off.

At Boss Doberman's command.

The entire team began to move.

But what Chu Yunyi did not expect was that they were traveling on foot...

"Wait, don't you have cars?" Chu Yunyi asked subconsciously.

"Cars? What a strange word." Golden Retriever scratched his head, not quite understanding.

Chu Yunyi frowned.

It was truly strange that Night Star didn't even have cars. Given its high technological level, it shouldn't be incapable of building cars.

At this moment.

Boss Doberman spoke:

"Cars? We had them before the New Star Calendar."

"But after that 'Meat Mountain' from the sky drifted over from space and became the satellite of Night Star, no one drove cars anymore."

Chu Yunyi curiously asked again, "Why?"

"There's a type of mutated creature called an 'Intelligent Brain.' They're very small but very smart."

"They would hide under or inside cars, and no matter how hard you looked, you couldn't find them."

"Once they entered a city, they would start with small animals like rats and cockroaches, then move on to children and adults."

"In their later stages, even a team of fifteen people couldn't deal with them."

Shaking his head, Boss Doberman seemed unwilling to elaborate.

As he spoke, he glanced at his left arm.

It seemed that he had lost an arm because of the Intelligent Brain mutated creature. His eyes held a trace of reminiscence, but he didn't want to bring it up.

"Oh, how much longer until we reach the Outer Domain?"

"About twenty minutes of travel," the Golden Retriever replied.

Hearing this, Chu Yunyi was a bit stunned, and his mind involuntarily thought:

'Twenty minutes, at most a thousand meters, maybe two thousand.'

'So…'

'Thousands of meters outside the city are all mutated monsters?!'

Chu Yunyi was greatly alarmed at this thought, seemingly not expecting such an outcome.

He had thought this world was safe, even that the city could sustain itself.

But looking at it now.

They were surrounded by mutants, what a joke!

"You guys…" Chu Yunyi thought for a moment, then finally spoke.

"If you're surrounded by mutants, can you still survive?"

Hearing this, everyone was a little surprised.

The Greyhound spoke first:

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of phrasing is that? It's like you're not part of Night Star!"

"I really am from another world, that world is called 'Blue Star'," Chu Yunyi said honestly. He wasn't afraid of revealing his identity.

Once he stated his origin, his abilities could naturally be used.

Even if everyone in Night Star hunted him, he could just go to another world.

Seriously.

What Chu Yunyi lacked, he didn't lack worlds!

If this world didn't work out, Chu Yunyi had plenty of other worlds that would!

Hearing Chu Yunyi's earth-shattering statement, the Greyhound couldn't help but laugh:

"Pfft! Are you kidding me?!"

"If you're from another world, then I'm an F22B Keplerian!" the Greyhound laughed, clearly not believing a word.

But the Golden Retriever's eyes were a little dazed, as if he believed it somewhat. He said:

"No wonder, you're an indigenous human from the lower districts."

"So… you're an alien." Thinking this, the Golden Retriever nodded, seemingly more convinced.

At this moment, the Pomeranian showed signs of movement.

She clutched her temples, her eyes dull, as if her personal terminal had connected to another device.

With a breath, her eyes regained clarity, and she said in a deep voice:

"Behind the western hill, there's a 'Skeleton', an 'Intelligent Brain', a 'Brute Force', and a 'Tumor'."

"It seems the Intelligent Brain is leading them, ambushing us."

"If we don't go, they'll probably charge over."

Hearing the names of the first three mutants, the others didn't react much.

But upon hearing 'Tumor', even the boss Doberman's mouth twitched, looking very uncomfortable.

"What do we do, boss? Should we run?!"

"We can't outrun the Skeleton, and it'll be worse if they catch us."

"Let's just fight head-on, there's no other way."

Boss Doberman pondered, then looked at Chu Yunyi and said:

"Newcomer, assess the situation. If we can't win, you run."

"We'll hold them off."

"With newcomers like you, Night Star has the capital to resist the apocalypse. You're still young, don't throw your life away."

Chu Yunyi's mouth twitched. It sounded like a farewell.

With him here, there are no accidents!
