"Of course I know. My uncle is really resentful. Since you're already here, what else can you do? Try not to cause any trouble. I don't want to make enemies with the Lan family."

He touched his neck, said "It's nothing" to the worried Lin Changli, then took out a green gene pill from his body, paused for a moment, and swallowed it.

Yu Wei was startled: "Kong Sang! Isn't the green one for immortality? Didn't Zhang San say that medicine would cause flesh to rot...?"

Surprisingly, the rash on Kongsang's neck disappeared visibly, but dark green tubular stripes appeared on her neck, much like the lifeless dark green blood vessels of a zombie.

Kong Sang didn't care and climbed onto the communal bed to lie down: "Don't worry, this can temporarily boost my immunity. Go to sleep."

Kong Sang originally wanted to sleep on the side, but after looking at the others, he moved out a place to sleep in the second spot, patted the original spot and said, "Yu Wei, you sleep here."

Her heart softened suddenly. That's how Kong Sang is; she always finds a way to break your defenses over something small. Even in this situation, she didn't forget to think of her.

Without refusing Kong Sang's kindness, Yu Wei climbed up and lay down on her side next to him.

Of the three remaining men, Lan Ye took the lead and occupied the other side. Qi Yun Shen had no choice; he couldn't very well sleep next to Kong Sang. So he went to Lan Ye's side, leaving Lin Chang Li in the very middle...

The night was long, and none of the people lying in the row felt sleepy, let alone Kong Sang, who was already suffering from insomnia.

Lan Ye rolled over and suddenly said, "Nie Kongsang, are you organizing a group to target the Nie family?"

Judging from how they interacted, they were clearly on the same page. They were extending olive branches to him from the RV. Nie Kongsang was an adopted daughter, yet she had gathered so many forces. He couldn't help but have some doubts.

The woman's voice was calm: "Uncle, you're overthinking it. The Nie family raised me, so naturally I will do my best to repay them. How is this targeting me? Minister Qi is still here, and I'm just a member of the Youth League. You've asked the wrong person."

They won't even take the bandages, yet they want to know the inside story. What the hell is Lan Ye thinking?

Lan Ye chuckled: "You didn't treat me like this in the car. Was it because there was someone with you?"

A large hand suddenly appeared on his waist. Kong Sang's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said, "He's deliberately provoking us. He's so smug that you're angry."

Lin Changli pulled the person into his bed: "I'm not angry, I'll hold you while we sleep, close your eyes."

Smelling the scent of menthol tobacco, Kong Sang spontaneously tucked her little head into Lin Changli's shirt and closed her eyes.

Whether it was the calming sound of his heartbeat or the overwhelming fragrance, Kong Sang truly fell asleep.

The even breathing surprised Yu Wei: "Really asleep? Chang Li, be good to her. You are really different to Kong Sang. Her insomnia is very serious."

Kong Sang had lived with her for a while, so she knew very well why she didn't take any sleep aids, but Kong Sang said the medication was ineffective for her...

"You don't need to tell me. Just stay away from her. You have a fiancé, so don't try to seduce my girlfriend."

Yu Wei choked. This bastard, when did she have such intentions?

At 2 a.m., as the darkness grew thicker, figures with contorted limbs appeared in the quiet courtyard, silently approaching the room where the group was staying.

The doorknob turned slowly, but it was locked from the inside. It tried to turn it several times but couldn't, and then it went quiet again.

There was a slight cracking sound from the window frame, and a hand dripping with sticky liquid reached in through the damaged corner, grabbing at a suitcase placed not far from the window.

Even when it reached all the way in, it still wasn't long enough. A tearing sound rang out, and the arm, which was not long enough, managed to grab the suitcase to a degree that no human could possibly achieve.

But when I tried to pull it out, I felt something hooking my wrist, and I couldn't get my hand out.

Without a second thought, he pulled hard, and the sharp thread instantly severed his wrist. The box fell to the ground with a loud thud, and the thing shrouded in darkness outside vanished without a trace.

The dim yellow light inside the room came on, and Lin Changli immediately covered Kong Sang's eyes in his arms.

I glanced with disgust at the thing still churning on the ground; it was something that looked a little like a hand…

The five fingers were completely stuck together, and the traces of the five finger lobes could still be vaguely seen. The palm was covered with suckers that resembled octopus tentacles, contracting and wriggling, which was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Lan Ye wiped the silk threads with a tissue, examined them for a while, and said, "This is probably the Heavenly Phoenix Village, the mutated half-human, half-biological hybrid? It seems that the mutation has been continuing all these years, but no one has paid attention."

The people sent in suffered heavy casualties, and the country could not afford the loss of talent, so they eventually turned a blind eye.

The tentacles wriggled for a while before losing their vitality and turning into an unknown liquid before their eyes. If it weren't for the puddle of water on the ground, what had just happened would seem like a dream.

"Knock knock".

The knocking alerted the group.

Qi Yunshen asked, "Who?"

A woman with a slightly husky voice said, "It's me, Bai Luo. I saw the lights were on in your room. Is something wrong?"

Yu Wei got out of bed and opened the door. The woman with long, black hair was still wearing that black and red silk dress. The long skirt covered her legs completely, so nothing could be seen.

Her skin was very fair, the kind of unhealthy white that comes from years of lack of sunlight. Under her thick bangs, her oval face did have some color. Her eyes were large, but unfortunately, they seemed to be covered in dust and not very bright.

A small red mole on the tip of her nose softened the eerie look of her face, making her appear less like a female ghost...

Bai Luo entered the room, glanced at the unidentified liquid on the floor, then looked in the direction of the suitcase, and finally stared at Kong Sang...

I don't know if he had something to say or not, but he looked at me for a full three minutes before speaking: "I know where the man who entered the village not long ago went. Give me ten pink pills as payment?"

Kong Sang's gaze suddenly fixed on Bai Luo's legs, and he narrowed his eyes, saying, "You've also undergone a transformation?"

Bai Luo pursed her lips and took a step back, saying, "It's none of your business. That man is either a mutant or dead. You arrived early and were able to see him one last time."

"He's very powerful; he killed many 'swimmers' in the crypt, but he also got infected. Do you agree to the deal or not?"

Kongsang got off the plane, took out a small bottle from his suitcase and tossed it over: "There are 20 tablets in here, enough to alleviate the worsening of the mutation for a while. Tell me about Tianhuang Village, what is a tour?"

Bai Luo seemed somewhat troubled, gripping the bottle tightly in her hand and pondering for a long time before saying, "You means homeless, wandering. Everyone knows what happened in Tianhuang Village. Those people were abandoned half-mutants."

"They still have some humanity and mostly won't kill indiscriminately, but there are also completely mutated individuals called 'snatchers,' who will be killed if encountered. They mostly come out at night, so no one in the village comes out at night."

Kong Sang wanted to ask more, but Bai Luo turned and left, saying, "I've said enough. The man you're looking for is in the back mountain, in the territory you've seized. Perhaps... you'll see a mutated monster there."
