"Otherwise, none of us will escape unscathed."

Cui Cheng glared at Jiang Ding and said, "Hmph, you're afraid of him, but I'm not."

Isn't it just because they have food in their hands?

Without food, this treacherous villain wouldn't be where he is today.

"You stay here and watch!"

"I'm not putting up with this anymore."

Seeing Cui Cheng leave, Jiang Ding breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then you can go now!"

Upon hearing Jiang Ding's tone, which indicated he truly had no intention of leaving, Cui Cheng turned around, grabbed Jiang Ding, and said with a forced smile, "If we're going to leave, we'll leave together. Let those people downstairs watch!"

"Come on, I managed to get a bottle of baijiu last time. This stuff is rare these days. Don't say I didn't want to help you."

Jiang Ding didn't want to leave, but when he heard Cui Cheng say there was wine, he was tempted and followed him.

Not long after the two left, several dark figures flashed by quickly near the gathering place.

The next day.

Zhang Fengqing sat in a chair listening to the visitor say that someone had mysteriously disappeared during the night, and a lot of bloodstains had been found on the ground.

Zhang Fengqing's expression changed immediately, because he knew exactly how they disappeared.

Thinking about my unease last night, and then about the people who went missing during the night.

Zhang Fengqing knew he wouldn't be staying in this place for long.

Inside a villa in the AAC district.

Xiao Mu loaded Jiang Yao's packed luggage into the car.

After filling the RV with gasoline, Shen Zhijie picked up his cat and got into the RV. As for the plants, he didn't plan to bring them on this trip because the RV had limited space.

Jiang Yao felt that both plants and cats were genetically modified species, and therefore should be kept with them.

Shen Zhijie knew Xiao Mu well. If Jiang Yao said she wanted to bring it along, he definitely wouldn't refuse. He had no choice but to get up and carry the plants into the car.

While Shen Zhijie was moving the plants, Jiang Yao first went to the garage to store the Hummer into her spatial storage, and then went to the villa to store the things she had planned to take with her last time into her spatial storage.

After seeing Jiang Yao get into the car, Xiao Mu asked if she had packed everything.

Jiang Yao knew that Xiao Mu was asking about the furniture and calligraphy she had her eye on. Being asked about it in person by the owner made her feel a little awkward: "I've put them all away."

Shen Zhijie assumed the two were talking about the luggage in the car and Jiang Yao's personal belongings, so he didn't respond and continued playing with his cat.

When I passed through the city center of AAC District, there were far fewer large rats outside, I wonder if it was because of those monsters.

The car suddenly made a bang while it was driving, and then it started to vibrate intermittently.

"Oh no, we've got a flat tire!" Shen Zhijie said, then turned to look at Xiao Mu, who slowly released his foot from the accelerator.

Seeing that Xiao Mu was slowing down, Shen Zhijie subconsciously gave a thumbs up.

Shen Zhijie: I'm actually afraid of you suddenly releasing the throttle and taking us off.

The intense, jolting sensation after the tire blowout made Jiang Yao instinctively grip the handrail on the RV.

Jiang Yao: I hope I won't get thrown out!

Whew, that scared me to death!

After Xiao Mu parked the car, Shen Zhijie found some tools, and the two began to change the tire on the RV.

Even when faced with a flat tire, Shen Zhijie couldn't stop talking; he kept muttering to himself.

I have to say, Xiao Mu, you really stay calm under pressure. You managed to stay steady even with such a big sway. You're amazing.

Jiang Yao felt they should stop at a car repair shop, since they already had the only spare tire, and if they had another flat tire, they wouldn't have any replacements.

Although there are three more RVs in the space, we can't take them out in front of Shen Zhijie with him present!

Even if you take it out from a distance and tell him that the car was found, it would still be difficult to fool Shen Zhijie, given his intelligence.

Jiang Yao mentioned her desire to find a car repair shop, which was approved by Shen Zhijie and Xiao Mu. The two of them also felt that they should prepare an extra tire.

Xiao Mu had no choice but to make a last-minute change to his planned route. He decided to first find a car repair shop to get a usable spare tire before returning to the main road to Shen Zhijie's house.

Shen Zhijie knew a shortcut to the auto repair shop, so Xiao Mu gave the driver's seat to Shen Zhijie.

After Shen Zhijie got into the driver's seat, he turned around and drove into the side road. Just as the car drove onto the secluded road, there was a sudden bang from the roof.

Xiao Mu and Jiang Yao exchanged a glance and looked up at the roof of the car at the same time.

When Shen Zhijie heard the sound, he only paused slightly without slowing down, even though this road was the only shortcut to the largest auto repair shop in the AAC district.

Because the roads are narrow and the RVs are relatively wide, even when parked, it is difficult to turn the vehicle around in case of other emergencies, so they have no choice but to continue moving forward.

But after driving for a while, there was another bang.

This time, the people inside the car clearly felt the car shaking, and they had no idea what was on it.

And so the RV continued its journey in the sweltering heat, only at a noticeably slower pace.

After the car drove out of the narrow section of road, Shen Zhijie parked the car on the side of the road. Xiao Mu loaded his gun and got out of the car with Shen Zhijie to check the situation. Jiang Yao stayed in the car this time to observe the surroundings.

After Shen Zhijie and Xiao Mu got out of the car, they lowered the car ladder. Xiao Mu climbed up the ladder to check the situation. Shen Zhijie waited below to provide backup. At this moment, no one noticed that not far behind Shen Zhijie, a stray dog ​​with red eyes was drooling and staring intently at him.

Shen Zhijie felt like something was watching him from behind, but when he turned around to check, he saw nothing. Just then, a gunshot rang out from the roof of the car.

Without hesitation, Shen Zhijie quickly climbed up the ladder and looked down at the roof. He saw Xiao Mu kicking the crows off the roof.

Shen Zhijie looked at the crow in front of him in disbelief. What did this bird eat to grow so big?

Xiao Mu said slowly, "This is a type of raven, a very intelligent bird, and it is now three times the size it used to be."

"It probably ate something it shouldn't have, or like your cat, it might have had a genetic mutation caused by external factors."

"That must have been the sound of them landing on the roof."

Shen Zhijie smiled and then said, "Then they really should lose some weight. With that kind of force, anyone who didn't know better would think they were shooting stars."

Shen Zhijie looked at the birds on the ground and said thankfully, "Luckily there were only a few. If there were more, they would have eaten us."

Jiang Yao ran out the moment she heard the gunshot and felt a little strange seeing the crows on the ground.

Jiang Yao: What did such a big crow eat to grow up like this?

After getting out of the car, Xiao Mu looked at the crows on the ground and noticed that one was missing. He frowned and looked at Shen Zhijie: "One of the crows is missing."

Shen Zhijie also felt it was a bit strange; how could one be missing!

"Could it be that it missed?"

Or perhaps he faked his death.

Xiao Mu narrowed his eyes, looking at the ravens on the ground: "No, I kicked them down to check if they were faking their deaths."

Looking at the bloodstains on the ground and then at the surrounding buildings, Jiang Yao said with some worry, "Let's get in the car and leave quickly?"

"I always feel like there's something lurking in the shadows here."

Suddenly a flock of ravens took flight, cawing loudly.
