"Huh?" Anxia didn't understand; she felt like the two of them were talking in riddles.

However, seeing the harmonious atmosphere between the two, she couldn't bear to interrupt. She still couldn't let go of him, but he was Jiang Ruan's man, and she wouldn't lay a finger on her best friend's man.

This is her bottom line.

"We're here, we're here! This should be it!" Zhang Yang shouted from the front, pointing to a guarded area ahead.

From a distance, it looks like a huge tomb piled up there, dark and even more obvious under the sunlight.

After everyone got off the car, they walked in that direction. A man dressed in black with long hair came out and greeted them with a happy expression.

"Hua Yi? Is this a surprise?" Jiang Ruan was startled when she saw the man's face clearly, but she kept her expression calm as she sized him up.

This guy is still that dead one, extremely monstrous.

"Hello, my darlings! I've been waiting for you for so long!" Hua Yi hugged Gu An, who was walking at the front, then shook Jiang Ruan's hand and playfully tickled her.

"Who, who is your baby? Don't talk nonsense!" An Xia didn't know why she took it seriously, and her face turned extremely red.

"Oh dear, let me see which darling said that. It seems I've neglected you. I'm so sorry."

As he spoke, he gave Anxia a bear hug. No matter how fast Anxia moved, she couldn't escape the speed of a professional assassin.

The man's fragrance filled my nostrils; it was a bit strong, but not overpowering. Upon closer inspection, I could also detect another scent.

Fortunately, Hua Yi quickly let go of her and took her hand, giving her a deep kiss.

This move completely stunned everyone, even Jiang Ruan couldn't quite handle it.

"Alright, take us to see the things." Gu An spoke first, pulling Hua Yi aside and dragging her forward.

"What are you doing? How annoying! We haven't even had a proper chat yet. That girl is so pretty, she's my type. You bastard, let me go!"

Hua Yi struggled to escape, and his actions and tone made it hard to believe that he was a professional killer.

But Gu Anke didn't give him that chance and pulled him inside.

Although the people behind were taken aback by this sudden situation, they were quick to adapt and reacted.

They all followed.

An Xia had been keeping her head down, but the coolness from her palm snapped her back to reality. "Ruan Ruan?"

Seeing that she seemed a little out of sorts, Jiang Ruan took out an ice pack from her spatial storage and handed it to her, saying with concern, "Are you alright? Don't worry about it. He's been abroad for a long time, and he hasn't quite gotten used to some of his habits. That's just how he greets people, like hugs or hand kisses. These are all normal."

Jiang Ruan said this, and An Xia wanted to forget the moment of being stunned and amazed, but she couldn't forget it.

She has always been good-looking and likes attractive people. Hua Yi's appearance is exactly what she looks like, but this was too sudden and she didn't have time to react.

"Is that so?" An Xia replied softly, but her eyes glanced at Hua Yi, who had already entered the room.

He was no longer struggling wildly as before; he was more like a capable employee, talking to Gu An.

"Ah Ruan, come quick, we've arrived." Gu An glanced back and saw Jiang Ruan and An Xia walking slowly, so he called out.

Jiang Ruan walked a little faster and soon reached the destination he had mentioned.

"Is this all diesel fuel down here?"

A huge, dark mass that looks like rolling lava is actually diesel fuel? You're kidding me!

"No, no, no, that's over there!" Gu An pointed to a black box about a meter long not far away, indicating that all the diesel fuel was underneath it.

"Then what is this? It can't really be lava!" Jiang Ruan squatted down to examine it. The shape did look a bit like lava, but it didn't have a scorching temperature. From this point of view, it didn't seem like it.

"This isn't just lava, there's something much more to it, it's full of... zombies!"

Hua Yi spoke to everyone in the first half, and whispered the second half into An Xia's ear.

An Xia was already afraid of zombies, and the only reason she came out was because of her younger sister, An Chun. But when he said that, she thought of the scene below filled with zombies, and she also thought of the eerie scene when she first met Zhang Yang. She screamed in surprise.

Ah~

Then, his body involuntarily lurched backward, nearly falling into the deep pit below.

"Watch out!"

"Xiaxia!"

......

Hua Yi was the closest and quickest to catch her, supporting her waist with one hand and protecting her neck with the other. His eyes, which were completely different from before, and the veins on his arms bulging, changed to a playful and mischievous expression when An Xia looked over.

"I've never gotten tired of beautiful women throwing themselves at me, especially when it comes to a hero rescuing a damsel in distress—it's really great!"

Anxia felt very wronged. She had just been startled by him, and then he teased her, so she couldn't help but cry.

"Oh...I...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I was just teasing you to make you less scared, but it backfired."

Hua Yi panicked.

Jiang Ruan hugged An Xia and glared at Hua Yi. He was usually quite clever, so why did he only give wrong answers when he was with An Xia?

"Is this guy crazy? If I hadn't bought his stuff, I would have definitely given him a piece of my mind." Qingfeng was so angry that he wanted to scratch someone, so he grabbed Mingyue's arm and started hitting her.

Mingyue wasn't annoyed. She said calmly, "Why do you talk as if you could beat him? Don't let his appearance fool you, he's no ordinary person."

They were whispering to each other and apologizing quietly, having completely forgotten about the diesel fuel.

Perhaps the zombies below couldn't stand it anymore, or perhaps they hadn't seen so many new humans in a long time, so the zombies rioted and roared from below.

"Oh no, the shackles have broken! Everyone, step back!"

Hua Yi's expression changed, and she pulled the people who were nearby to the back.

There was a commotion inside the pit, and a black shadow darted out from within, arching against the diamond-studded net covering it, its face contorted in a ferocious grin as it roared.

"So many, you stored them all up!" Qingfeng was on high alert, but he couldn't help but complain about the scene.

Hua Yi rolled her eyes at him. She hadn't expected the zombies to be so restless today. She had originally planned to wait for them to fight each other and grow stronger before taking their crystals and presenting them to Boss Jiang Ruan. Who knew that they would riot so soon after they had just started?

He was careless, and he didn't know if the boss would blame him.

He glanced at Jiang Ruan and, seeing that she didn't react, breathed a sigh of relief. He gradually relaxed and focused all his attention on the approaching zombies.
