Jiang Ruan stared intently at the exposed corpse, finding it strange that it remained motionless even after Qingfeng kicked it.

Logically speaking, the Corpse Explosion, also known as the "Exploding Corpse," not only occasionally sprays poison gas and venom for self-defense, but it also has a very bad temper, basically exploding at the slightest provocation. Therefore, after Qingfeng kicked it, it should have reacted immediately or moved to escape, and then self-destructed half an hour later.

But what's going on with this thing that's still the same, except that half of the corpse is still exposed and looks even darker and shinier? Am I just seeing things?

"Ruan Ruan, is there a problem?" Gu An asked, seeing Jiang Ruan staring at the object with a serious yet puzzled expression.

Although I know she is very capable, I still worry about her getting hurt most of the time.

"It's alright!" Jiang Ruan straightened up and took a small step back. "Let's go, we can just go around it."

“Okay!” Gu An gave Qingfeng a look, and he immediately looked away from his surprise, jumped up to the car, started the engine, and with a “whoosh” the car suddenly reversed, made a turn, and drove to where Gu An was waiting.

Qingfeng had just shown off and was smugly waiting for his boss's praise, but his boss only glanced at him sideways. If it weren't for Jiang Ruan, Qingfeng would have received a punishment even more cruel than a beating.

Because he loves to eat, he absolutely loves to eat. He gets hungry if he misses a meal, he can manage if he misses two meals, but he's done for if he misses three meals. Even a mental hospital couldn't accommodate him.

The three continued driving forward, and the smell along the way became stronger as they entered the city. Jiang Ruan wished she could take out a gas mask from her spatial dimension to cover herself, but that would expose her identity and the existence of her spatial dimension.

Although it's true that I like Gu An, and it's not that I don't trust him, it's just that many things can't be too obvious.

"Otherwise, I can check it myself when we get there. It's much better to be in the car than exposed outside and smelling those weird odors." Seeing that Jiang Ruan wasn't feeling well, Gu An patted her back, as if to make her vomit.

"No need for that. I'm just a little unaccustomed to it right now. We'll see how it goes once we get there. Anyway, please stop taking pictures of me now. Your pictures are making me feel even more nauseous."

Jiang Ruan's face was deathly pale, just like the painful torment of someone suffering from gastroenteritis.

"Drive faster, stop dawdling, we're just strolling around!" Gu An couldn't help much, so he could only shout at Qingfeng, thinking that a quick victory would be better.

Meanwhile, Qingfeng Wenhao, who had already driven at 180 mph, was inwardly complaining about how worthless his boss looked.

He's the helmsman behind a top-tier family, capable of controlling zombies, ruthless and decisive, a living Yama feared by all. How did he become like this by Miss Jiang Ruan's side? Should he say "I've never seen anything like this before!"? He'd probably get beaten up.

Qingfeng's heart is restless, but his outward appearance is calm, just like his name suggests: fresh, comfortable, natural, and harmonious.

He further increased his speed, exceeding two hundred yards.

Fortunately, this was a newly built highway with few other vehicles, so he could drive as much as possible without worrying about a repeat of the previous accident.

Because of their speed, the three of them quickly arrived in the city. Yellow police tape was everywhere, but surprisingly, apart from the filth at the entrance, the city was very clean inside. There were no signs of it being swept away. It seemed that all the living people and zombies had disappeared overnight.

All that remained was an empty, box-like city.

Jiang Ruan got out of the car and could no longer smell the odor, which made her feel much better. However, looking at everything in front of her, only three words came to her mind: "empty city strategy".

"It seems something unpleasant happened here, but someone has covered it up. This person is quite clever; they did a good job of destroying the evidence." Qingfeng got out of the car first and opened the doors for the two of them, then looked at the scene before him and gave his opinion.

"Destroy the evidence?" Jiang Ruan muttered as she walked forward. "That's too thorough. The outside is so horrific, there's no reason for it to be like this inside. What happened? Where did all these people go?"

"Let's go check out the police station! Maybe they'll hold some crucial clues." Gu An pointed to the police station standing behind the police booth not far away. His gaze was firm and cold as he stared ahead, as if he could already see the light at the end of the tunnel waiting for them to uncover the mystery behind that tightly closed door.

Qingfeng nodded frantically behind him, saying, "Yes, yes, the boss is right. It's always good to call the police. I also think it's better to go and take a look."

But as soon as he took a step forward, he was glared at by the boss. While Jiang Ruan was heading to the police station, Qingfeng walked in another direction.

Sensing that there were fewer people around her, Jiang Ruan paused and looked back. "Where's Qingfeng? Wasn't he going to the police station? Why is he over there?"

"Him!" Gu An put his hands behind his back, stood up straight, and said without blushing, "He needed to use the restroom, so he went over there to find one. We don't need to worry about him."

"Ah!" Jiang Ruan glanced at the public restroom next to the police station entrance, then at the unknown direction Qingfeng had gone. A woman's sixth sense told her that there was definitely something fishy going on between the two of them.

But since she couldn't see anything at the moment, she could only go to the police station to check the situation as planned.

Seeing that Jiang Ruan didn't pursue the matter further, Gu An breathed a sigh of relief. As Jiang Ruan turned around, he caught a glimpse of the zombie's shadow flashing past and then sent Qingfeng to deal with it. These zombies, who had no sense of boundaries, dared to approach Jiang Ruan even when he was around; they wouldn't hesitate to be ruthless.

The two easily made their way inside the police station. Just as they had expected, there was no one there. The detention areas at the back were also empty. The entire police station was completely exposed to the light, which wasn't strange, but it wasn't normal either.

"It seems someone did something to me first, so I can't see anything. But isn't this just making things more obvious? What kind of good person would pack up zombies and living people together and take them away without leaving a trace?"

Jiang Ruan even had a slight urge to crack open the man's skull to see what was going on.

The instigator looked up and surveyed his surroundings, seemingly conducting a serious inspection, but inwardly he couldn't help but complain about how incompetent his subordinates were. He had asked them to clean up the environment to prevent Jiang Ruan from vomiting and feeling unwell, and this was how they did things. He really felt like he had raised a bunch of useless people.
