These clearly threatening words immediately made Wang Lan frown, but when he saw the woman's beautiful face, his frown immediately relaxed.

Because this face... is just too beautiful.

In the safe zone, everyone was on edge, living like animals. Although Sun Muchen was also beautiful, firstly, Wang Lan only treated her as his own younger sister, and secondly, they had grown up together since childhood. Wang Lan had long been tired of Sun Muchen's appearance and no longer cared about her looks. Instead, he found her disheveled appearance in the safe zone more pleasing to the eye.

The woman he met later, a villager from Hope Village, was also quite ordinary-looking.

It wasn't until he saw the woman in front of him that Wang Lan understood the meaning of the word "beauty".

I was instantly captivated by it.

The woman, seeing Wang Lan's flushed cheeks, felt a strange unease. She frowned, snorted, and looked at the Holy Envoy.

It was only then that the white-armored soldiers came to their senses and discovered that the Holy Envoy had a knife to her neck. The heavily armed soldiers immediately opened their gun boxes, while the other soldiers and villagers raised their spears and aimed them at the woman.

The woman gave a cold laugh, her bright eyes sweeping over the crowd.

The next moment, there were several whooshing sounds, and three more people jumped out from all around.

One of them was a muscular man with a broad back and dark skin. He was dressed in all black, with particularly well-developed muscles in his arms. His belt was full of magazines, and a dagger was exposed. He held out his hands, each holding a machine gun and aiming it at the crowd.

The other man was bald, round-faced, and extremely obese, with skin whiter than a woman's. He was truly a plump and fair-skinned man. He was shirtless, with a large belly, and had a cigarette about two fingers thick dangling from his mouth. However, he carried the most ammunition and equipment. He held an enormous long gun in both hands, the muzzle of which was bigger than a fist, and it looked incredibly powerful.

The last person, with flowing long hair and a handsome face, held a long-barreled gun, aiming at the group. He was dressed in black with a half-cloak hanging from his back, which swayed gently in the breeze. Underneath the cloak, a black metal box could be seen on his back.

The moment these three appeared, the atmosphere became tense, and the air thickened with the smell of gunpowder.

The bald, fat man smirked, chuckled, and looked at the crowd, his gaze lingering on the white-armored soldiers for a moment. Then he raised his spear to the sky, slung it over his shoulder, took the cigarette from his mouth, blew out a puff of smoke, and said in a low voice, "First, don't move. Second, don't make a sound."

The envoy's hood twitched slightly, and this slight movement caused the woman's hand holding the dagger to tremble violently. She immediately moved further away from the envoy and said, "Don't move, or I won't hesitate to kill you."

Upon hearing this, the white-armored soldiers immediately became restless.

The burly man immediately said, “Relax, guys. In this apocalyptic wasteland, we are all pitiful survivors. There’s no need to kill each other. We’re all just trying to survive.”

Upon hearing this, the Holy Envoy extended his hand, signaling the white-armored soldiers to lower their guns.

Wang Lan also gave Ding Taishun a wink, and seeing this, the others also put down their guns.

The bald, fat man took a deep drag of his cigarette, slowly exhaled, and at the same time put his finger to his lips in a shushing gesture. The cigarette then split into two streams and dispersed.

The field fell completely silent for a moment; no one moved or made a sound.

However, prolonged silence can be irritating. After a long time, the surroundings remained completely silent, and no one knew why the four people wouldn't let him speak or move.

Ding Taishun and the others exchanged glances, all of them realizing their own confusion, and then turned to look at Wang Lan.

But then they discovered that Wang Lan was looking at the woman.

Their eyes lit up, and they looked on with amusement.

"you..."

After a while, the Holy Envoy couldn't help but ask a question, but was immediately interrupted by the woman's cold gaze, who whispered, "Shut up!"

The holy envoy trembled, seemingly displeased with the woman's tone, but showed no other reaction and remained silent.

Just as the woman glared fiercely at the Holy Envoy and turned her gaze elsewhere, a voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"May I have your name?"

It turned out that Wang Lan was almost whispering in the woman's ear, asking her a question.

The woman was genuinely startled; her body trembled violently, and she took a step back.

And just as this action began, a strange cry and roar suddenly rang out in the silence of the forest!

It sounded like the chirping of some kind of insect, and was particularly shrill.

Several villagers immediately covered their ears because they couldn't stand it.

As the eerie cries began, the silence of the forest was shattered, and all sorts of strange and eerie cries arose in a chaotic manner, each one sharp and piercing.

Wang Lan had no time to admire the beautiful women at this moment. He frowned and looked around. The white-armored soldiers also turned around and looked warily in all directions.

"Heh..." The long-haired man chuckled softly and said, "Look at you, you've never seen the world before. You're scared out of your wits by the slightest chirping of insects."

Wang Lan turned to look at the long-haired man.

Yu Guangzhong saw the thick fog dissipate, and in the blink of an eye, a wind began to blow through the forest.

At the same time, the piercing, sharp whistling sound suddenly amplified.

It seemed that in the short time that they arrived, countless insects swarmed around them.

A glint of light flashed in Wang Lan's eyes as he assumed a fighting stance, ready to unleash his various skills.

"Relax, buddy!"

But then the burly man spoke up.

The next moment, a deafening explosion rang out.

Apart from the three men and one woman, everyone else trembled violently in shock. Following the first explosion, a series of explosions followed, the deafening roar echoing throughout the room.

The fog in the air instantly thickened, and the pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air.

The explosions continued for more than ten minutes before finally stopping.

Wang Lan looked at the group in surprise, not at their composure during the explosion, but at the fact that he had seen and used grenades before, but this explosion was clearly a hundred times louder than a grenade, and the continuous bombardment must have required an enormous amount of energy. So Wang Lan wondered, could these explosions have been caused by these people?

"it's over!"

Sure enough, the burly man spoke up when the explosion ended.

It seems that these people really were responsible for the explosion!

They have so many weapons!

They're incredibly wealthy!

"I'll say it again, relax, guys." The burly man lit a cigarette, waved to Wang Lan and the others, and said, "It's fate that we meet. Guys, we are members of the Tomorrow City Special Task Force. Nice to meet you!"
