Chapter 226 A strange fog suddenly appears, and the crew is isolated on an island.

After the sun set that day, a rare thick fog rolled in on the mountain, making it almost impossible to distinguish people and animals from each other at a distance of two meters.

In this situation, many people are afraid to drive down the mountain, fearing potential safety issues.

They all stayed on the mountain that night. Those who didn't have enough rooms squeezed together to play cards all night. But the next day, everyone was stunned.

Even though the sun had already risen in the east, this strange, unexpected fog was still there!

Some people didn't believe in superstitions and tried to drive down the mountain, but they drove back within minutes, saying it was a case of being trapped in a ghostly maze.

Wu Cong began to take it seriously and called the village chief at the foot of the mountain.

The village chief saw the white mist swirling around the mountain from afar, but this scene was all too common in their area. So the village chief reassured Wu Cong and told someone to send someone to take a look.

Wu Cong thanked them repeatedly and then reassured everyone after hanging up the phone.

So, everyone spent another day on the mountain.

On the third day, the eerie fog still hadn't dissipated, and the people sent by the village chief still hadn't arrived, making everyone's mood heavy.

To ensure freshness, the crew only prepared a week's worth of food. If this continues, they'll run out of food first.

What's even more alarming is that everyone's cell phone signal seems to be weakening, with some people unable to connect to the internet or make phone calls.

The longer the fog lingered, the more they felt like they had been stranded on a deserted island.

Wu Cong put down his phone again; he could no longer get through to the village chief.

Just then, someone managed to get online and exclaimed, "My God, this strange fog is already on the news!"

The crowd quickly huddled together to watch. It appeared to be an interview with a local, but the video wouldn't load, so they started reading the text version, which became increasingly terrifying and frightening.

"Holy crap, what is this?!"

"Director, come quick! They say the village chief and the others have sent people in to investigate, but no matter who comes in, they get lost in a maze, and no one can get up. They're just stuck at the bottom of the mountain, anxiously waiting. This place has become an isolated island..."

"And there's something even more outrageous. They said they requested the border police to provide a helicopter, but when the helicopter looked down, all they could see was thick fog; even our base was nowhere to be seen..."

Everyone turned deathly pale...

If even helicopters can't get in, they're really doomed...

"Director Wu... what should we do?"

"Director Wu, please think of something! Everyone came here for the film crew, we never expected to encounter such a bizarre thing... Have we offended the heavens?"

"These past two days have been filled with mushroom poisoning and strange fog... Your film crew is really quite unlucky..."

"I can't take it anymore, I'm going to break down if I stay here any longer..."

What could Wu Cong do? This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in all his years of life.

I'd heard before that some film crews went to remote mountains and forests, violated local customs and disrespected the gods, resulting in some disappearing or going insane...

But he did not disrespect the gods!

He even went to worship the nearest mountain god with utmost devotion. Why did he encounter such a thing?

Overnight, Wu Cong's hair turned almost completely white from worry.

Amidst the groans, confusion, and arguments, Fang Ke, having changed back into his windbreaker, emerged carrying a backpack.

Her appearance surprised everyone. "Miss Fang, what are you doing...?"

Fang Ke's clear and resonant voice seemed to possess a magical power, greatly soothing people's hearts.

"Don't panic, everyone. It's just a normal weather phenomenon. I've encountered this kind of fog before in Northern Europe, so I have experience driving through it. I'll drive out and try it in a bit."

"Miss Fang, this is really bad! This fog is so eerie! Several of us drove out, only to find ourselves back in a maze!"

Fang Ke smiled gently, "There's nothing to lose if you get lost in a maze, so let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll come back."

The group exchanged glances, all somewhat worried about her, but Fang Ke's words seemed to make sense; staying there indefinitely wasn't a solution.

Some people suggested driving alongside Fang Ke, but she declined, saying, "It's better if we take turns, otherwise we won't be able to see clearly and might crash."

"...It seems so."

But Fang Yefan insisted on going with her no matter what, saying, "It's too dangerous for you to be alone. I have to go with you."

Fang Ke sneered, "If it's dangerous for one person, it's not dangerous for two? Just stay put."

Fang Yefan refused to back down, "Anyway, I can't let you go down the mountain alone. I'm your brother!"

Fang Ke: "..."

She raised an eyebrow slightly. "Okay, then come with me."

Fang Yefan's brows immediately relaxed, and he seemed overjoyed. "Then you wait here, I'll go get ready."

Wu Cong was also worried about them, "Are you sure everything will be alright?"

Fang Ke smiled and nodded to him, "No problem... By the way, Director Wu, please keep the video I gave you safe for me."

Wu Cong frowned. "What time is it? You're still thinking about this?"

Fang Ke sighed, "What if I don't come back? This is the only solid proof of my innocence. If any rumors spread in the future, Brother Wu, you have to testify for me."

Wu Cong's expression immediately changed. "Pah! Pah! You jinx!"

Fang Ke laughed and said, "Just kidding. I'll definitely come back safely. Don't worry about me."

A short while later, Fang Yefan also came out wearing a windbreaker and carrying a bag. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was deliberately wearing matching outfits with Fang Ke.

Everyone saw them off to the car, and they had high expectations for the two of them.

"Sister Fang, just between you and me, I've been following your variety show for over two months... You're so amazing, an all-rounder, you'll definitely find your way out, we're waiting for you!"

Many people said they were also fans of Fang Ke's variety shows and told them to be careful, which Fang Ke laughed out loud, and they all agreed.

When it was Su Yao's turn, she remained calm and only said, "Be careful, Sister Fang... Ye Fan, you too."

If Fang Yefan was truly determined to go and die, she couldn't stop him.

Anyway, Fang Yefan's favorability had been snatched back, and Su Yao felt that it was all fate. What kind of good man could be so easily seduced by Fang Ke?

It's better if she's dead; I can't be bothered to upset her in front of her anymore.

Thinking of this, Su Yao couldn't help but look at the two of them with pity.

Unexpectedly, Fang Ke suddenly said to her, "What if the fog suddenly disappears after we go down the mountain?"

Su Yao was taken aback, then chuckled dryly, "How would I know... If that's the case, then that would be perfect."

Fang Ke smiled subtly and said nothing more. She and Fang Yefan got into the car, and soon the car drove into the fog and disappeared from sight.

The crowd began to disperse, but Wu Cong remained standing there, feeling a strong sense of unease for some reason.

He watched them leave with great concern, but there was nothing he could do. He was leading such a large film crew, and they needed him to be the pillar of strength.

Wu Congjiu stood there for a while, but eventually left.

Su Yao emerged from behind the tree, her laughter genuine. "Idiot, I knew she wouldn't be able to hold it in."

176 chimed in, “The Mist truly lives up to its reputation as an A-level attack card. Those locked in by the Mist will have their minds slowly eroded, will experience hallucinations, and may eventually die insane.”

Su Yao was overjoyed. "That's perfect! Anyway, she's so crazy, it suits her just right."

"But just in case, you should use the [Block] card as well. This will create a complete fog maze, and she will have no chance of getting out. In the end, she will only die from exhaustion."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Su Yao nodded repeatedly, extremely excited. This time, she finally felt relieved and threw out the [Lockdown] card.

"Fang Ke, you wasted three of my cards, so your death was worthwhile!"
