"Hmm, it seems they don't have any relatives left. How come no one is willing to take over such a good location? But it's also possible that even their relatives wouldn't dare to take it over. After all, in areas with disease outbreaks, ordinary people... most people would stay far away."

Lu Ning nodded slightly: "May I go in and take a look?"

"Let's go in."

The shop door wasn't even closed, and Lu Ning and Ke Qing walked in easily.

There were burn marks and several claw marks on the walls on the first floor.

Ke Qing pointed to several deep pits and charred marks, and laughed, "These should have been left by our people, but I wasn't in charge of this mission at the time, so I wasn't there."

Lu Ning nodded slightly, then looked up at the back door.

There was a staircase leading upstairs through the back door, but the room was dark because the windows seemed to be closed.

Ke Qing asked, "Shall we go in and take a look?"

Lu Ning nodded: "Mm."

The two climbed the stairs step by step.

Because no one has lived here for so long, the ground is covered in dust, and dust floats in the air.

Upon reaching the second floor, one finds a typical residential layout.

Two of the rooms had their doors torn apart, and there was dark brown blood everywhere on the floor and walls.

This must have been left over from that time.

Lu Ning went into several rooms and looked around; the furniture had all been damaged.

However, he found no clues.

Ke Qing smiled and asked, "So? Did you find anything?"

Lu Ning shook his head: "No."

"Shall we move on to the next one?" Ke Qing asked with a smile.

"Um."

Just then, Lu Ning's phone rang. He glanced at it and saw that it was Nan Yu calling.

He answered the phone, and Nan Yu on the other end asked, "Lu Ning? How are things on your end?"

"There are no clues."

"Then why don't you come back first?"

Lu Ning asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Here's the thing, Director Wang just told me that there have been several cases of flesh and blood mutations in the base city, which has given him a lot of trouble. He's thinking of asking us to help see if someone is behind it. I'm thinking it might be related to the missing investigation team, so maybe we can go and take a look."

Lu Ning stared at the damaged door and fell into deep thought.

"Lu Ning?"

"Okay, I'm coming now."
