◎Shangguan brand helicopters, opening soon◎

"If I go out, then..." Jiang Ji wanted to say something, but Shangguan Huai walked up to him, patted his shoulder and led him out.

If there was really danger, Shangguan Yu would not enter the house. His younger brother was a very cautious person and would never take any risks.

"Don't worry, come with me and we'll check it out." Shangguan Huai's gentle and caring tone soothed Jiang Ji's nervousness. He nodded and was obediently taken to the side.

Lingxi was afraid that something might happen so she went over to help.

A faint light overflowed from Shangguan Huai's palm. Jiang Ji only saw the light for a moment, and was suddenly surrounded by an indescribable warm feeling.

It was a dark and cold night. Having just endured fear and loneliness, his whole body was as cold as ice, but now he calmed down in an instant.

He felt pain all the time, but Jiang Ji himself couldn't figure out whether it was because of the mutant dog's scratches and bites, or because he was accidentally injured when trying to catch it.

And now——

Those tiny and dense wounds disappeared one after another!

The painful skin scar disappeared right before his eyes!

Jiang Ji shook his head vigorously and ran away, keeping his distance from Shangguan Huai: "Hurry up, I'm hallucinating! I... I saw my wound disappear! "

Ling Xi almost laughed out loud and patted him on the shoulder: "It's not an illusion, it's Da Huai's special ability. He helped you repair the ordinary external injuries."

"Huh? Superpowers?" Jiang Ji was stunned.

Xin Jiamo added, "I remember you used to like reading apocalyptic stories. You didn't even know about superpowers?"

"Fuck, this is so cool!" Jiang Ji grabbed Shangguan Huai's wrist and said, "Master, am I okay now? I... I was cleared of the virus by you?"

Shangguan Huai tried to pull his hand free, but after struggling, he realized the other party's grip was too tight, so he gave up. "I can only recover from minor injuries. Check again now. If there are still wounds, it's likely that they were really caught by that mutant monster."

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Jiang Ji took a deep breath, walked to the side and began to take off his coat layer by layer.

At this time, he didn't care about being shy. After taking off all his clothes except the last one, he checked it carefully. Fearing that there was anything missing, he also asked Xin Jiamo and Lin Munan to look at it together.

"No, I didn't see any other wounds."

"I didn't notice it either."

The two of them carefully examined even the soles of the feet and the hair, but they didn't see a single scratch.

"That's great, I'm fine, I wasn't bitten, and I won't mutate!" Jiang Ji hugged his clothes excitedly, kneeling on the ground and crying with joy.

Xin Jiamo kicked him and urged, "Stop howling and put on your clothes. There are girls here."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll put it on right away, right away." Jiang Ji, overly happy, blushed and began to put on his clothes in a hurry.

Ling Xi smiled and waved her hands beside her: "It's okay, it's okay. You are so thin. Eat more."

"Yes, yes." Jiang Ji felt dizzy and nodded quickly.

"That thing is very fast, so be careful and make a plan before taking action." Lao Yang knew that they wanted to be completely clear of the consequences, but this operation carried a great risk.

It’s even more dangerous than cleaning up Zhenjiang just now!

The threat posed by mutant dogs lies in their speed and sensitivity. Even if most people are well prepared, they will fall into an uncontrollable state of shock when they discover that their reaction cannot keep up with the speed of the mutant dogs.

It is that moment that will immediately put people in danger.

Jiang Ji, who was originally pressing down on the sofa, was thrown out, and now it was Rong Xiao's turn.

Everyone can see Rong Xiao's strength, and her reaction speed is also the fastest in the team. With her in charge, Shangguan Yu squatted aside with special despair, and even found a nunchaku to poke at the gap, and instantly stretched out a fierce and sharp claw.

Those nails can scratch through people!

Shangguan Yu quickly retreated and said hurriedly: "Press it tight, press it tight."

"Oh!" Rong Xiao nodded quickly.

She pushed the sofa down hard. Although there was an inevitable gap, fortunately the thing was too big to get out of it.

"We need to be prepared for both scenarios now. Once we release it, it might run away or jump up and pounce on us. Either way, we need to react immediately."

Long Qingyu had also considered Shangguan Yu's words. This thing should only have these two attack methods, but...

They must hit the target with one strike, otherwise if the first strike fails, it is very likely to bite back, or cause other people to become the second target and be attacked.

Not everyone can avoid this thing.

"I'll first lead this monster towards the door. Rong Xiao will then use his weapon to lift the sofa from behind," Shangguan Yu thought for a moment before assigning everyone's tasks. "Brother Long will be in charge of the ground, and Brother Chuan and... Sister Xi will be in charge of the air."

"What about you?" Xin Jiamo next to him couldn't help but ask.

"I am responsible for observation, and will formulate a new plan if any situation arises." Shangguan Yu explained calmly.

"Also, Rong Xiao has enough speed and strength. If anything unexpected happens, whether in mid-air or on the ground, he'll be there to lend a hand."

After listening to the plan, Lao Yang, Zhuo Chengsheng and others nearby asked, "What can we do?"

Shangguan Yu glanced at them and said, "Be careful not to get bitten or scratched."

“…”Is this looking down on them?

Although Shangguan Yu often expresses an unpleasant and disdainful attitude, from a certain perspective, he really only trusts the people in the team.

At least he knew the strength of this group of teammates, but he was not sure how capable the strangers were.

In his mind, any uncertainties were regarded as zero and as unusable or underutilized backup tools.

"Everyone get ready, I'm about to open it!" Rong Xiao was already standing at the edge of the overturned sofa.

Shangguan Yu picked up another stick and poked it at the gap. After the mutant dog's claws inside stretched and retracted, he signaled Rong Xiao to get ready.

After everyone retreated to their waiting positions, Rong Xiao jumped off the sofa and lifted it towards himself.

Almost instantly, everyone gripped their weapons tightly and held their breath, fearing that the slightest movement would affect their reaction.

Although Lao Yang and his friends were disliked, they still stayed at the door and prepared to be picked up. They knew the worst outcome. If they were still afraid of death at this time, they might as well leave the factory directly. There was no need to stay and take risks.

As long as they stay, it means they want to protect everything here.

"Be careful!!" Shangguan Yu's alarmed warning made everyone's heart beat violently.

Such a calm and composed person actually had such a moment of loss of composure, as if the last safety pin in his heart had been pulled.

The moment the sofa was opened, the mutant dog neither jumped into the air to pounce on people nor ran away.

It seemed to smell something different. The moment it escaped, its body twisted rapidly in mid-air and pounced towards Rong Xiao who was standing behind the sofa.

On weekdays, Rong Xiao is indeed agile, quick-witted, and strong, and he has never truly fallen into despair.

But the situation at this time was worse than she had imagined before. She had a blind spot in her vision and was still holding the sofa in her hand and had not had time to put it down. Even if she raised her weapon at this time, she might not be able to accurately attack the mutant dog's head.

Long Qingyu had tried to describe it a long time ago, but the monster's head almost overlapped with Rong Xiao's. Once the bullet penetrated the body, Rong Xiao would also be in trouble.

"Use superpowers!"

At the critical moment, Shangguan Yu's decisive voice echoed in the corridor.

Rong Xiao lifted the sofa with one hand, his eyes meeting the sharp claws that were getting closer and closer, without any intention of retreating or avoiding. The purity in his eyes disappeared without a trace, replaced by a ferocious and violent strange light, which instantly made the atmosphere in the whole room explode abnormally.

The mutant dog flew into the air, opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and was close at hand with a fishy smell.

But just as everyone gasped, the small black figure moving forward was suddenly hit by something and fell violently against the wall.

After it hit the wall, it did not slide down. Instead, it was as if an invisible person grabbed its neck and pressed it hard against the wall.

Everyone's attention was on the monster, only Shangguan Yu was still staring at Rong Xiao with a frown.

"Xiaoxiao, how are you? Are you okay?" Lingxi was about to go in with a flashlight, but was stopped by Long Qingyu.

He entered the house and first chopped off the twisted and mutated head with an axe. After making sure that the body was motionless, he raised his hand to signal Rong Xiao.

The strong aura of supernatural power calmed down in an instant. Rong Xiao blinked, turned his head and looked at Ling Xi with a smile: "Sister Xi, I'm fine."

The pair of dark eyes were still as smiling as before, as clean as a piece of glass without impurities.

Shangguan Yu didn't say anything, his mind kept recalling everything he had just discovered.

He didn't know if it was an illusion or he was dazzled, but Rong Xiao's eyes just now seemed very strange, even... scary.

That was not her usual self; it could even be said that she was a completely different person.

But now Rong Xiao seemed to be normal again, and Shangguan Yu could no longer find the slightest bit of abnormality in her that he had just revealed.

The mutant dog-headed creature had split apart and there was no way it could stand up again. They secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to check.

Finally, the other missing companions were found on the ceiling and in the toilet cubicle.

After being attacked by mutant dogs, they wanted to hide and found a place they thought was safe, but in the end they were deprived of consciousness by the virus and mutated into monsters more terrifying than ordinary zombies.

After inspecting and repairing every part of the factory building, Lao Yang and the others could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Those who had been hiding in the dormitory all night also dared to come out to help.

They silently fetched water, found disinfectant, and began to clean up the bloodstains within their sight.

Lao Yang and the others moved the body to a window at the end of the corridor. The window was wide open, but the mutant dog had no place to stand and it was not easy for it to get up.

Rong Xiao used his supernatural powers to move the corpses one by one, and finally Tian Yichuang threw a fireball to set them all on fire.

There was a dazzling firelight flickering in the yard. The thing that should have made people feel warm burned everyone's peace into ashes tonight.

"Look, what is that?" Xin Jiamo pointed out the window in shock.

Shangguan Yu glanced at him, thinking he was pointing at the hexagonal object in the sky. He said disdainfully, "No way? You're only seeing that thing in the sky now?"

"No, I mean that!" Xin Jiamo gestured towards the sky.

The existence of the hexagon is no longer surprising, and people in the factory have long accepted this strange existence.

However, what happened at this time was the first time they had seen it, but it was not the first time that Long Qingyu and others had encountered it.

It was as if snow had suddenly fallen from the sky, and many small gift boxes with white parachutes floated down.

The seemingly warm packaging makes everyone leaning against the window feel the fear of the night.

"How could this happen... What was that!!" Someone in the corridor asked in fear.

Thinking it was a big deal, Shangguan Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced outside: "Oh, that's it, there's something inside, no big deal."

"Have you encountered this too?" Xin Jiamo asked.

Shangguan Yu took a breath and seemed not to want to pay attention to him. Shangguan Huai, who has always been a social butterfly, squeezed over and showed him the thing on his wrist. He also explained various situations related to the bracelet, hexagon, and bubbles in as much detail as possible.

Finally, it evolved into a small classroom.

He stood by the window, surrounded by a crowd of people, all listening carefully to Shangguan Huai's explanation.

Although the situation was incredible, it was the end of the world, and it didn't take them much time to accept this news. After a moment of silence, someone raised a question.

"So if we get the bracelets, we won't go anywhere but stay in the factory. If we're trapped here by chance by a bubble, we'll follow the rules and complete the mission. Once we're done, we can obtain survival resources. Is that right?"

"That's what I mean." Shangguan Huai nodded to show that he understood it perfectly.

"However, the demand for supplies will directly affect the difficulty of the mission. You can act alone or in a team, it all depends on your personal wishes, but... there is no way to guarantee that the mission will be absolutely safe and simple." Shangguan Yu, who had been quiet all the time, suddenly threatened people.

The person who originally wanted to use the bubbles to obtain resources to survive in the factory suddenly changed his expression. He swallowed and bit his lips nervously.

"I believe everyone understands this, but in this world..." Brother Yang looked at the gift boxes falling one by one outside the window, but there was a special light in his eyes. "Taking risks means there is a possibility of gaining something, which is already a great hope."

The emergence of the virus has made the world no different from hell, and even if you just want to survive, you have to take risks.

Survival supplies are becoming increasingly scarce, and the appearance of this gift box is their only chance.

Lao Yang turned around and looked at everyone. "I'll go get some gift boxes. If you've thought it through, you can come get one from me. I hope everyone will be careful and think it through carefully, because this is a path you can't go back on."

After saying that, he was about to go downstairs to get the box when Rong Xiao, who was lying on the window, called him.

"No need to go downstairs to get it, I can bring it up." Pointing downstairs, Rong Xiao raised his slender white fingers, and several gift boxes immediately floated up from the ground.

The gift box floated into the corridor, and the people around it subconsciously stepped back, but their eyes were still fixed on the small thing without blinking.

I was both afraid and curious, as if it was Pandora's box.

Long Qingyu randomly picked a box and opened it. There was only a bracelet inside, nothing else new.

"Hey, no, bubbles have appeared," Shangguan Huai nudged Long Qingyu with his elbow, "Do you want to leave?"

"It's too late to leave," Shangguan Yu gave an accurate judgment without waiting for Long Qingyu to speak, "But we can do another task and get more food. I want to eat cake."

The factory worker was shocked, his mouth slightly open, unable to speak.

While they were hesitating whether to complete the mission, the people next door seemed to be discussing playing a game where they could get cake if they won.

What about life and death? That kind of miserable ending is not what they need to consider.

A true boss is fearless.

"Great! I can play games again!" Rong Xiao excitedly raised his arms. Suddenly, he remembered the cake Shangguan Yu mentioned and asked curiously, "What flavor of cake do you want?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"Because I'm curious."

"hehe."

Shangguan Yu's sneer ended the conversation. He looked at the people huddled hesitantly in the back, raised the corner of his lips and casually reminded them, "This is a good opportunity. If you miss it, you don't know when the next one will be. If you had thought it through, you would have put on the bracelet earlier."

As soon as the words fell, someone rushed forward without hesitation.

Lao Yang picked up a box and put the bracelet on his wrist. The buckle automatically engaged and he couldn't take it off.

He pulled it casually, seemingly not feeling scared. He looked up at the bubbles outside the window that were becoming clearer, his eyes gradually widening.

The scene outside the window is shocking and dazzling, but it is also full of unknown dangers. The most beautiful flowers can often be poisonous.

"Brother Yang, you..."

"We need supplies, we don't have much food left." Old Yang said without hesitation.

His words made many people's eyes red.

The word is not "I", but "we".

Lao Yang wore the bracelet for everyone, taking the risk of playing games in exchange for supplies for everyone.

"If more of us act together, our chances of winning should be better!" As he spoke, more people came forward and put on their bracelets.

Zhuo Chengsheng also wanted to wear it, but Jiang Yao was worried and raised her hand to hold him back: "Or... don't want it?"

"I want a car." As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Long Qingyu and the others.

The car downstairs belongs to Long Qingyu and his group. It will be taken away sooner or later, and then it will become inconvenient to enter and exit the factory.

What's more, Zhuo Chengsheng has not yet figured out whether to take Jiang Yao and Linlin away or continue living in the factory.

Jiang Yao pulled Zhuo Chengsheng's sleeve tightly, but he picked up a bracelet and put it on without hesitation.

"I'll go with you!" Jiang Yao said as she was about to get the box, but Zhuo Chengsheng grabbed her hand.

"You still have to protect Linlin," he patted his wife's shoulder. It wasn't consolation or perfunctory, but a serious and careful entrustment and trust. "When I go on the mission, Linlin will be handed over to you."

Jiang Yao's fingers trembled as she looked into her husband's eyes and nodded vigorously.

Lin Munan and Xin Jiamo also picked up a box, held the bracelet in their hands and looked at it for a while, then gritted their teeth and put it on.

In the end, only a few people who were in poor health, older, and had clumsy hands and feet were left without wearing wristbands.

It took a long time for others to persuade him to give up.

Outside the window, bubbles enveloped the area, and the edges seemed to be completely sealed.

Various prompts popped up on the bracelet, and the people in the factory followed them step by step and finally successfully entered themselves.

When it came to the stage of inputting supplies, this group of people subconsciously looked at the experienced Long Qingyu and others, and found that they were turning on the light curtain to discuss.

It's strangely uncomfortable to be stared at by a large group of people.

Long Qingyu cleared his throat and said to the leader, Lao Yang, "Form a team first. Write down what you need. Don't overdo it. It will be dangerous if the difficulty of the task exceeds your capabilities."

"Thank you." Lao Yang nodded gratefully.

Shangguan Huai never participated in any decision-making. No matter what to do, what to eat, where to go, etc., it was all decided by Long Qingyu and the others. He was just a casual pendant.

Seeing that Shangguan Yu didn't participate much in the discussion this time, he poked his brother on the back and whispered, "Xiao Yu, is there anything you can remind them of? This group of people is entering the game for the first time. It's quite dangerous, and they don't have the experience we have."

"..." Although he really didn't want to waste his breath, seeing Shangguan Huai's expectant look, he replied coldly, "Since there are so many people, then divide them into several groups and split the required supplies. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, or you'll lose them all in the end."

"Xiao Yu, you're so kind!" Shangguan Huai shouted exaggeratedly, bumping into Xin Jiamo and others who were eavesdropping nearby. "Did you hear that? Did you hear that?"

"I heard you! Thank you...thank you, Brother Shangguan."

A double entendre.

Shangguan Yu didn't seem to like hearing others thank him. He frowned and looked disgusted.

Shangguan Huai, who was beaming beside him, suddenly raised his hand and hooked it around his neck, smiling and asking, "Helping others is a super happy thing, right?"

"No," Shangguan Yu said indifferently, pushing his hand away. "Don't lean on me. I'm not a street lamp."

Long Qingyu and Ling Xi were inputting the required items into the light screen. They now needed to replenish a certain amount of food. Every day, Ling Xi would calculate the remaining amount of food and other supplies in her little notebook, and every time she passed by some shops, she would go in to search for replenishment.

Now, they can obtain it directly through the light curtain. The method is much simpler, but it has certain risks.

After weighing the strength of his teammates, Long Qingyu entered the list compiled by Ling Xi one by one, and the task content popped up soon.

[Red eyes, heart, a logo]

People in different groups cannot see each other's tasks. Lao Yang and his team also divided into several groups according to Shangguan Yu's suggestion, and distributed the supplies evenly. Everyone received their own tasks.

"This...what does the mission mean? Where should we go?" Shangguan Huai stared at the three key words for a long time, completely confused.

Just as Lao Yang and the others were about to leave, they suddenly noticed that the atmosphere around Long Qingyu was a bit tense. They turned back and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything we can help you with? We're familiar with the surrounding terrain."

Long Qingyu drew the logo on a notebook and showed it to Lao Yang. Xin Jiamo, who was standing next to him, quickly replied, "I know, I know!"

Others also wanted to help, and several heads crowded together: "Isn't this just a dog park not far away?"

"What? Does this LOGO mean a dog farm?" Shangguan Huai looked at the freshly-made LOGO with suspicion.

"Oh, it wasn't a dog farm before. It was a vegetable farm, but later it became a dog farm. The owner was too lazy to renovate it, so he just used that sign as a signpost to the dog farm."

Shangguan Yu seemed to be thinking: "The mutant dog that ran here must have come from the dog farm."

Zhuo Chengsheng was silent for a moment, then asked, "So, it must be dangerous over there? Are you going there too?"

Jiang Yao's face turned pale. "What do you mean by 'also'? Is that your destination as well?"

Zhuo Chengsheng nodded without saying anything.

The next second, Jiang Yao almost cried.

"That's great!" Linlin cheered in a baby voice. "Brother Shangguan and the others are going with Dad, so they will definitely come back safely!"

Zhuo Chengsheng smiled and touched his daughter's head, as if to confirm her words.

Jiang Yao couldn't feel at ease at the thought of going to such a dangerous place.

Afraid that her emotions would affect Zhuo Chengsheng's work, she raised the corners of her lips with difficulty, smiled and hugged him: "Be careful, we will wait here for you to come back."

"I will."

Zhuo Chengsheng nodded, and his firm eyes gave Jiang Yao a little comfort.

Except for Zhuo Chengsheng, everyone else's tasks are in relatively safe places near the factory, and there are at least three people in a group, so there is no big problem.

But they also have to be careful, as there are likely other mutant dogs near the factory.

The dog farm is not far from here, and driving would cause too much noise. After discussion, Long Qingyu decided to take a shortcut.

The route was drawn by Lao Yang and his team. Although it was not very convenient and required climbing some low walls and mounds, it could save at least ten minutes of travel time and also avoided a large and dangerous area with overgrown weeds nearby.

"Sister Xi, we can take that thing out and use it now." After a long journey using both hands and feet, they finally arrived at the entrance of the dog farm.

The LOGO displayed on the light screen is right in front of the sight. After being exposed to wind and sun, it is hidden in the darkness, dilapidated and faded. When viewed from a distance, the logo is quite scary.

Ling Xi was confused by the question and asked, "What is it?"

"I placed a camera in your space before." Shangguan Yu added again.

"We have headlamps!"

"I know. I want that too, but could you please give me the camera first?"

"oh……"

Ling Xi didn't understand what he wanted to do, so she took the things out of the space and distributed a head-mounted lighting to everyone, even Zhuo Chengsheng.

When they were searching for supplies before, they found a whole box and put it all into the space. They rarely used it.

That thing has good lighting and is convenient, but once you open it—

It's an obvious target for the Big Mac.

Long Qingyu would only let them use this unless the situation was extremely dangerous and the light was extremely dim.

"Put on the searchlight first and don't turn it on for now." As soon as Long Qingyu heard Shangguan Yu's words, he knew what he wanted to do.

After fiddling with the machine for a bit, Shangguan Yu handed the camera to Long Qingyu, who was leading the charge. "Brother Long, adjust it. Night vision effect."

On the small surveillance screen, the characters turned green and looked like a group of green-skinned monsters.

However, the dark environment around was illuminated quite clearly, at least the target was not as big as with a spotlight.

Long Qingyu nodded and took it, picked up the machine and was about to leave when he was stopped by Zhuo Chengsheng.

"Why don't I take it?" Zhuo Chengsheng pointed at the gun in Long Qingyu's hand. "If there's any special situation, it won't be convenient for you to shoot with the machine."

After seeing Long Qingyu's marksmanship, Zhuo Chengsheng felt that he should step forward and act as a tool.

He should be the weakest in this team. If he can't even help with simple things, how can he have the face to work with them?

"Thank you." Long Qingyu did not refuse. He handed the machine to him and briefly explained how to turn it on, off and adjust it.

When they arrived near the dog farm, they didn't rush in, but checked around the perimeter first.

The door was locked and it was pitch black inside, with no sound at all.

That’s right, even the roars of zombies can’t be heard.

Was there no one here when the accident happened?

The gate was a thick iron door, but... they soon discovered something was wrong.

The door is locked from the inside!

In other words, there should be people in the dog park.

After walking around the edge, Long Qingyu found a hole. People couldn't get in, but a dog of his size should have no problem entering and exiting.

"How do I get in?" Tian Yichuang asked with his hands folded.

Everyone looked at Shangguan Yu instantly, including Rong Xiao.

The outer wall of the dog farm was very smooth, with no place to climb or hold onto, so even Rong Xiao found it difficult to get in.

Moreover, there are glass spikes on the high walls to prevent theft, which makes it easy to get hurt, and the smell of blood is likely to attract all the monsters in the dog farm.

"Shangguan brand helicopters will be open for business soon." Ling Xi cheered softly beside him.

"What, what helicopter?" Rong Xiao was excited like a little kid when he heard it.

Ling Xi kept mumbling something in her ear, and Shangguan Yu felt his hair stand on end. When he met Rong Xiao's eyes, he even had the illusion that he was about to be eaten.

"Shangguan, thank you for your help." Long Qingyu stretched out his calloused hand with a smile on his face.

Shangguan Yu knew that he was in a difficult situation, so he gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and did as he was told.

No matter how sharp-tongued or arrogant he was, he always showed restrained respect and courtesy to Long Qingyu.

brush--

Metal wings unfolded.

A dim light shines in the darkness.

Shangguan Yu reached out and grabbed Long Qingyu's arm and sent him into the dog farm.

After the two landed, there was no obvious noise from inside, so it seemed that the situation was not that bad.

The next one is Zhuo Chengsheng, the next one is Shangguan Huai, and then Tian Yichuan...

When Shangguan Yu flew out again, he saw Ling Xi and Rong Xiao's two pairs of sparkling eyes. He grinned speechlessly and didn't want to see these two passengers off.

He could almost foresee how troublesome these two people would be!

"Shangguan Shangguan, I, I, I," Ling Xi came over, then thought of something and went back to push Rong Xiao forward, "Forget it, Xiao Xiao should go first, it's her first time!"

Shangguan Yu, who was not mentally prepared yet, did not want to open business with Rong Xiao right away. He flew past her and caught Di Lingxi from behind. Without saying anything and not giving her time to prepare, he picked her up and flew into the dog farm.

"Hey? I didn't hold on tight, ahhh..." Ling Xi wanted to scream, but was afraid of causing a commotion, so she could only protest with her mouth open and whispered.

After finally landing, she was about to start scolding, but Shangguan Yu had already turned back to "pick up" the last Rong Xiao, and successfully avoided the scolding.

While still in the air, Shangguan Yu saw Rong Xiao looking at her with shining eyes, like a kitten, with his mushroom head sticking out and reaching out to her.

Shangguan Yu didn't take it. He landed on the ground and said coldly, "Don't move or talk in mid-air. Act like a wooden statue. Do you understand?"

"I understand, 123 Statue game!" Sure enough, once she started playing the game, her comprehension ability improved.

After sizing her up suspiciously once more, Shangguan Yu uttered two short words: "Stretch out your hand."

Rong Xiao raised his hands obediently.

Shangguan Yu flew into the air, grabbed Rong Xiao's raised arm with his hand, and lifted her up with great ease.

I didn't expect her to be so light!

Shangguan Yu was surprised by her weight when he thought about the strength she used when kicking and hitting people.

Even though there were many things on his mind, Shangguan Yu's face remained calm and indifferent with no change.

"Shangguan..." Rong Xiao's voice came.

"Play games, don't talk." After Leng Mo interrupted, Shangguan Yu prepared to land.

"Look over there, something seems to be moving."

Shangguan Yu followed the direction Rong Xiao was facing and really found something moving in the distant corner. The speed was very slow, but because the distance was too far, it was not very clear.

Just as I was about to move closer, the moving thing was swallowed up by the darkness and never appeared again.

Long Qingyu saw Shangguan Yu fly past the optimal landing spot and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

After putting Rong Xiao back on the ground, Shangguan Yu folded his wings and pointed behind the low building in front of him: "There is a living thing moving, but I'm not sure what it is. I can't see it clearly."

"It's very likely a mutant dog that has mutated and hasn't gone out yet. Be careful, everyone, hold your weapons." Long Qingyu raised his chin towards Zhuo Chengsheng. The two of them walked side by side, one on the left and one on the right, leading the way.

Zhuo Chengsheng kept holding the camera, but he didn't see any moving things except some dead objects, not even a mouse.

The layout of the dog farm is L-shaped, with the low building located in the middle of the L, blocking the corner and a large open space at the back. To get to the back from the side of the low building, one needs to pass through a narrow passage.

The entrance to the low building is not in front, it should be at the other end of the L.

After walking through the debris-filled passage, they saw a large debris storage area covered with sheds.

Turning towards the tail of L, there are two enclosed areas enclosed by metal. The metal fence with a roof blocks a large open space. It is pitch black inside, and it seems that it was where dogs were kept before.

However, there was a hole torn in the corner, and the dog must have escaped from there.

"How many dogs have escaped from here?" Zhuo Chengsheng boldly went up to take pictures with his camera. It was very dirty inside, as if no one had cleaned it for a long time, and there was a particularly unpleasant smell.

There were a lot of bloodstains on the ground, but no body was found.

There was nothing left of either dog or man.

"I asked Lao Yang," Shangguan Yu said from behind, "This dog farm isn't doing well. It seemed like it wasn't doing much business before the virus outbreak, so they don't have many dogs."

"That's good, that's good."

When Zhuo Chengsheng thought of his wife and daughter who were still in the factory not far away, he was worried that the number of mutant dogs that escaped would be more terrifying than he had imagined. He was not with them, and if a few more of them went over... he didn't dare to think about it.

"How strange."

After Shangguan Yu looked around, he suddenly said something that made everyone feel uneasy.

"It's very strange," Long Qingyu agreed. "I checked after I came in just now. The main door is indeed locked from the inside, but there's no other back door. How did the person who locked the door get out? At least one person is still in the dog farm."

"Perhaps he can no longer be called a 'human'."

"Maybe in the building?"

"Very likely."

Ling Xi was listening to their conversation while holding a kitchen knife. As she listened, she felt a sudden chill on her back. She didn't know if it was the night wind or something strange that aroused the sense of crisis in her bones.

There was something behind her.

Even without looking, she could be 100% sure.

Because there was something arching at her ankle, and it was itchy and painful, but she didn't know what it was.

Ling Xi took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "There's something at my feet!"

Everyone raised their weapons to look at the situation immediately, but Shangguan Yu retreated decisively and only looked down to find the answer after keeping a sufficient distance.

Tian Yichuan suddenly understood and nodded vigorously: "That's right, Rong Xiao, let go!!!"

"It feels so good to touch," Rong Xiao said without any fear. He turned the fur ball over and looked at it carefully. "Is this... a puppy? So cute."

"Maybe other dogs were as cute as this one before they mutated." Shangguan Yu saw that she was not alert at all and was about to poke the fur away. "Don't touch it, it's dirty. There might even be a virus on its fur."

The fur ball that was poked out of his palm rolled down. Rong Xiao was quick to grab it and lifted it up to observe carefully.

After watching for several seconds, Rong Xiao used his hands to cover the trembling body: "But
