Chapter 49 Mysterious Monster

At this moment, Shen Zhijie's eyes had turned bloodshot, he was making muffled noises, and the veins on his forehead were bulging, as if he was enduring something.

Seeing Shen Zhijie like this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but redden her eyes and said, "Shen Zhijie, you have to hold on."

"Only after you get through this will you be better."

When Jiang Yao heard him say this, her suspicions resurfaced, and she began to question Xiao Mu: "What exactly was the potion you gave him?"

"Didn't you say he would wake up soon?"

"Why is it like this now?"

Who exactly is Xiao Mu, and where did he get the potion from?

Xiao Mu didn't know how to explain it to Jiang Yao at this moment.

Jiang Yao looked at Shen Zhijie in front of her, feeling somewhat downcast. Perhaps even without the injection, he would still have ended up dead.

Jiang Yao left Shen Zhijie's room dejectedly.

As if sensing the unusual activity within the villa, the mysterious green plant in the living room spread out all its leaves and gathered outside Shen Zhijie's door.

As soon as Jiang Yao opened the door, the green plants stretched into Shen Zhijie's room.

Reaching above Shen Zhijie, they used their branches to slowly cover him, just like they had protected everyone that night.

Looking at the changes before him, Xiao Mu was unsure of the purpose of the green plant.

He guessed that perhaps the green plants were just sensing Shen Zhijie's change of heart and wanted to comfort him.

Shen Zhijie, now covered by greenery, had calmed down and was no longer agitated.

Looking at the now quiet Shen Zhijie, and then at the green plants in front of him, Xiao Mu was also puzzled. Could it be that the green plants, the cat, and the monster came from the same place?

The boundary between AAS and AAC zones.

After Li Zhengnan and the other two got into the car, they asked, "Did you find anything in the ruins just now?"

"What did you see that made you run like that?"

Cui Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "There's nothing inside."

"All I saw was a corpse without skin."

Seeing this, Wan Chuan chimed in, "It's still hanging from the tree."

Han Zhi seemed to have thought of something and added, "It looks like it's been gnawed on by something."

"However, Boss Cui vaguely heard a howling sound, as if it was calling his name."

After hearing this, Li Zhengnan looked at Jiang Ding in the front seat and muttered, "Useless."

After listening to the three people's words, Li Zhengnan felt that the RV was probably gone; this place was too eerie.

Looking in the rearview mirror from the driver's seat, Jiang Ding asked, "Boss, do you think we should continue?"

Li Zhengnan glanced at his watch, his brows furrowing, and slowly said, "Wait a little longer."

"Let's see if anyone can come back."

People from other directions always felt like something was following them after entering the ruins.

Looking back, there was nothing there.

But as they walked, the people beside them disappeared.

Looking around at the ruins, Deng Jian said to Zhang Maoming beside him, "Let's make sure we don't get separated."

"If things don't look good, we'll retreat."

Zhang Maoming looked behind him and nervously asked Deng Jian, "When did Fang Hai disappear?"

Deng Jian turned around, somewhat puzzled: "When did it become just the two of us?" A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he spat out a mouthful of saliva, saying, "Let's go, let's go back now, this place is a bit eerie."

As the two walked, a dark shadow suddenly flashed past them. They looked around but saw nothing, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly ran back the way they had come.

Suddenly, Deng Jian seemed to see something and stopped.

Seeing Deng Jian suddenly stop, Zhang Maoming walked to his side and followed his gaze. The horrifying scene made Zhang Maoming's legs go weak. Wasn't this Fang Hai's?

When was he hung from the tree...?

Inside a villa in the AAC district.

Jiang Yao looked at the green plants covering Shen Zhijie, carefully stretched out her finger, and gently touched them. The leaves of the plants only swayed a few times before falling silent.

The cat nearby meowed.

It's like saying, "Don't touch it, come and pet this cat!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yao picked up the cat and walked towards the sofa while petting it.

If she could, she would like to go back to that farm again.

Perhaps there are secrets about cats and plants in that farmhouse.

The boundary between AAS and AAC zones.

Deng Jian and Zhang Maoming didn't have time to think about anything else and quickly turned around and left.

Li Zhengnan glanced at his watch from time to time, then looked around at the ruins.

As time went by, Li Zhengnan's brows furrowed more and more.

Suddenly, Jiang Ding saw two people running out of the ruins and quickly shouted, "Boss, look! Someone's coming out!"

Just as Li Zhengnan looked up at the ruins, Zhang Maoming, who was next to Deng Jian, was suddenly dragged away by a dark figure.

Deng Jian: I didn't even realize what was happening before Zhang Maoming disappeared.

He looked around cautiously and fearfully, then, disregarding everything else, ran to Li Zhengnan's car.

Seeing him get into the car, Jiang Ding quickly started the engine, not caring about anything else; saving his life was the most important thing.

Li Zhengnan was also stunned by the sudden turn of events.

A perfectly healthy person was gone just like that, without even having a chance to make a sound.

It's clear that the monsters here are not as simple as the one the authorities removed.

Inside a villa in the AAC district.

After a long wait, the green plants in Shen Zhijie's room slowly withdrew and returned to the cat's side.

Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Mu and Jiang Yao quickly went to Shen Zhijie's room.
