Cui Cheng was very grateful to Li Zhengnan for giving him a chance to live, but whether he could come back alive depended on his fate.

Li Zhengnan looked around and saw that everything was quiet. Even his underlings who had just searched the area were nowhere to be seen. His unease grew stronger.

Li Zhengnan opened the car door and got in. Jiang Ding, who was next to him, followed and turned on the air conditioning. Even with the air conditioning on, Li Zhengnan couldn't feel any coolness.

His inner tension made him somewhat irritable. He glanced at his watch; five minutes had passed, and there was still no movement from the ruins.

Just as Li Zhengnan was getting impatient and thinking of lighting another cigarette, Jiang Ding, in the driver's seat...

With a loud "Ah---", he cried out.

Startled, Li Zhengnan's hand trembled, and he almost burned his own eyebrow.

Li Zhengnan frowned, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

He followed Jiang Ding's gaze and saw several dark figures flashing quickly through the ruins in the distance.

Cold sweat instantly soaked Li Zhengnan's clothes. He looked at the dark figure flashing in the distance, his heart pounding with tension. He patted Jiang Ding's shoulder fearfully and said, "Wait a moment. When the dark figure stops appearing, shout towards the ruins that Cui Cheng and the others went into."

"Tell them to come back quickly; we can't stay here any longer."

...

Xiao Mu came out of Shen Zhijie's room and said to Jiang Yao, who was sitting on the sofa, "Shen Zhijie's fever has started to subside."

"He should wake up soon."

Jiang Yao was eager to know what changes would occur after Shen Zhijie used the drug. Would he undergo a genetic mutation like a cat?

Or can it evolve into something else?

Seeing Jiang Yao sitting there in a daze, Xiao Mu walked over and sat opposite her, looking at her and slowly saying, "Don't think too much."

"Perhaps Shen Zhijie used the medicine just like we take medicine when we're sick, and he got better just like that."

Jiang Yao knew that Xiao Mu was just trying to comfort her and prevent her from overthinking.

Jiang Yao stretched and stood up, looking into Xiao Mu's eyes, and said, "Let's have beef noodles for lunch today!"

"How about we have chilled watermelon for fruit?"

Seeing how quickly Jiang Yao's attitude changed, Xiao Mu chuckled, "Sure, would you like me to cook?"

"I have no objection if you want to cook."

...

After entering the ruins, Cui Cheng and his group felt as if there were eyes watching them.

Wan Chuan, one of Cui Cheng's henchmen, suddenly slowed down and whispered, "Brother, what do you think that monster would be doing at this time?"

Cui Cheng's face turned pale. He flicked Wan Chuan on the forehead, suppressing the urge to curse him out, and whispered, "You son of a bitch, can't you say something else?"

Wan Chuan rubbed his head and muttered softly, "I was just trying to ease the tension between you guys!"

Cui Cheng took a deep breath and silently thought, "I chose these underlings, so I should bear the consequences. It's already good enough that someone supports me."

Han Zhi glanced at Wan Chuan, rolled his eyes, and told him to figure it out himself.

Wan Chuan felt a little aggrieved when Han Zhi rolled his eyes at him.

Han Zhi not only didn't appreciate his good intentions, but also gave him a disdainful look.

Wan Chuan walked to Han Zhi's side and said in a voice that the two of them could hear, "What do you mean?"

Want to fight?

Cui Cheng now even has thoughts of killing Wan Chuan. This idiot, can't he speak appropriately for the occasion?

He could end up being someone else's lunch in no time, and he still has the mind to think about these things.

As Han Zhi looked at Wan Chuan's head, a thought suddenly popped into his head: if the monster opened Wan Chuan's head, he would definitely take a look to see if this guy's head was different from everyone else's.

The three of them cautiously walked deeper into the ruins when suddenly the cawing of crows startled Cui Cheng and the others, causing them to freeze in place.

The boundary between AAS and AAC zones.

Seeing that the monster had not reappeared, Jiang Ding quickly ran towards Cui Cheng and the others, shouting, "Cui Cheng, come out quickly!"

After a few seconds, Jiang Ding shouted again, trembling with fear, "Cui Cheng, come out quickly!"

"Cui... Cheng..., come out quickly if you hear me." His voice was already trembling with sobs.

Jiang Ding was completely devastated. He looked around in terror, fearing that the monster would suddenly appear behind him and just stare at him silently.

Jiang Ding: At that time, I was terrified.

Inside the ruins.

Cui Cheng and the other two looked at each other.

Cui Cheng felt as if he could faintly hear a creepy sound.

Cui Cheng looked at the two of them, his lips trembling, and said, "Is someone calling me?"

Wan Chuan and Han Zhi exchanged a glance and slowly replied, "You must have misheard!"

"No way." Cui Cheng felt goosebumps rising on his skin. He said, "I feel like someone is calling my name."

Wan Chuan suddenly said mysteriously, "Could it be that the King of Hell is calling you?"

With tears welling in his eyes, Cui Cheng looked at Wan Chuan, his legs trembling, and stammered, "I...I...call...you...brother, okay? Please stop scaring me."

Wan Chuan anxiously tried to explain, "Brother, I'm not joking anymore, please don't do this."

Han Zhi gently nudged the two of them, gesturing for them to look ahead.

Wan Chuan and Cui Cheng together pried Han Zhi's hands away, saying, "Don't touch me."

Han Zhi began to retreat step by step.

As the two saw Han Zhi slowly backing away, they looked in the direction he was looking and exclaimed, "Oh my god!"

The three of them quickly ran out of the ruins.

As Cui Cheng ran, he asked Han Zhi what that was.
