"I didn't hear anything," Peng Yu said, puzzled.
"I can't hear it now either, I must have misheard." Cao Zhiyong relaxed again.
Peng Yu turned his head to see if his younger brother had finished urinating, but when he turned around, Peng Ze was nowhere to be seen.
"Xiao Ze, Xiao Ze?" He called out twice in that direction, but no one answered.
Peng Yu quickly ran over to check, but there was no one left where his younger brother had just been standing.
Could it be that my younger brother has already gone back to his room?
Peng Yu quickly went back into the house to check.
Inside the small supermarket, there was a not-so-bright camping lamp. I scanned the area by its light, but there was no sign of my younger brother.
Peng Yu carried the camping lamp and circled around carefully again, but still couldn't find Peng Ze.
He suddenly felt cold all over and broke out in a cold sweat.
He ran out again, "Brother Cao, my brother is missing. You stay here while I go look for him."
After finishing speaking, Peng Yu hurriedly ran towards the town behind him with the lantern, quickly disappearing into the night and thick fog.
"Captain Peng, Captain Peng..." Cao Zhiyong stood there, stunned.
"Brother Cao, what's going on?" Zhou Xinran was a light sleeper; as soon as Peng Yu ran out, he followed him out of the house.
"Captain Peng's brother is missing. He was just peeing there a moment ago, and now he's gone in the blink of an eye," Cao Zhiyong said to Zhou Xinran, pointing in that direction as if he had found his anchor.
"Brother Peng, Brother Peng," Zhou Xinran called out a few times.
The sound seemed to be swallowed by the darkness, without even an echo.
Xia Feng then carried Lin Xuan out, followed by Zhou Lerui and the others.
None of them had slept soundly to begin with, as they were all woken up by Peng Yu and Zhou Xinran's shouts.
Even Lin Xuan had to lean on Xia Feng's shoulder, half-asleep, to catch her breath. She didn't know why she couldn't sleep soundly all night.
"What happened? Peng Xiaozhe is missing?" Zhou Lerui asked her brother.
Upon hearing that Peng Xiaozhe was missing, Lin Xuan immediately came to her senses and propped her head up from Xia Feng's arms.
"Just now, Captain Peng's brother came out to pee, and Captain Peng was keeping an eye on him the whole time. But after a while, he disappeared, so Captain Peng went to look for him immediately."
Cao Zhiyong quickly recounted what had happened to everyone.
"Little Bao, do you still have that Gatling flashlight? Give me one, I'll go out and look for them." Zhou Xinran said without hesitation and went out to look for them.
“I have it.”
Lin Xuan quickly took out a fully charged high-powered flashlight from her spatial storage and handed it to Zhou Xinran.
"Me too, me too!" Zhou Lerui quickly followed Zhou Xinran and ran outside.
"Why are you making a fuss? Wait here." Zhou Xinran pushed his sister away.
"Why am I getting all confused? If Peng Xiaozhe loses something, I'm going to go find him too. My cosmetics are still in his space."
Zhou Lerui insisted on going with them to find the person, and Zhou Xinran couldn't argue with her, so he had no choice but to take her along.
The others stayed at the small supermarket to wait for others.
Lin Xuan struggled to get off Xia Feng; she was now fully conscious.
Lin Xuan glanced at her phone and saw that it was already past 2 a.m., making her a little restless.
Xia Feng pulled her to sit on a chair by the door and comforted her, "Don't worry, it's just a little dark, but there's no danger around here. The three of them went out for a while and brought the person back."
Lin Xuan bit her index finger knuckle, feeling that something was very wrong.
"Brother, did you hear something?" Lin Xuan suddenly heard a faint, clear sound of bells coming from afar...
"ah--"
It was Zhou Lerui. Lin Xuan stood up immediately.
Zhou Lerui's scream stopped abruptly after just one sound. Something had happened to Zhou Xinran and the others!
"Something must have happened to them, brother, let's go find them." Lin Xuan quickly took out another powerful flashlight from her spatial storage.
Shen Youan also wanted to go to find people, but Lin Xuan saw that her wound from being hit by the mutated deer hadn't healed well and she hadn't been able to move around very well these past few days, so she didn't let her.
"You'an—Sister, you should stay here. If we all leave, who will protect the girls?" This was the first time Lin Xuan had spoken to Shen You'an.
Shen Youan glanced back at Yao Yao and Sun Youmei, who were standing together huddled together, and, thinking of Cao Zhiyong whom she could not trust, did not insist.
Xia Feng picked up Lin Xuan and plunged into the darkness in the direction Zhou Lerui had just screamed.
Lin Xuan shone a flashlight on Xia Feng, but even with the floodlight on full blast, he still couldn't see very clearly ahead.
The fog was so thick that, although it wasn't noticeable at night, the fog made it difficult for flashlight beams to penetrate and illuminate the darkness.
The direction they were heading was the road leading to the small town behind the gas station.
Xia Feng and Lin Xuan were highly focused. The invisibility vine emerged from the back of Lin Xuan's neck and gently gathered around their sides.
After walking for a while, the two stepped onto the cobblestone street of the town, with low, single-story buildings on both sides.
Although she couldn't see clearly, Lin Xuan could sense that the stone path was covered with mutated plants that seemed ready to stir.
They grew along the exterior walls of buildings by the roadside, quietly gathering towards the two under the cover of darkness and thick fog.
Lin Xuan could sense the internal energy circulation within them.
Remembering what Xia Feng had told her in the car, perhaps she could try to control the direction of these supernatural light spots when her own energy was abundant...
The cloaking vine twisted its body seductively, and the energy points in the plant seemed to be guided to gather in the direction the vine pointed.
They wither away unwillingly only after they have released all the energy in their bodies.
The invisibility vine guided the energy sphere forward, and the energy was so great that even Xia Feng could feel it.
Xia Feng hugged Lin Xuan even tighter, not daring to make a sound and disturb her.
Lin Xuan stretched out the invisibility vines endlessly, trying to push the energy ball further away.
Now, without the guidance of the invisibility vines, the energy of the surrounding plants has spontaneously gathered towards the energy sphere.
She had a bad feeling; things were very dangerous if this continued. She felt that the energy sphere was about to...
A deafening roar shattered the darkness and thick fog.
The buildings and withered, mutated plants in the area were all blown into the air.
Lin Xuan pulled Xia Feng into the space immediately after the explosion.
Xia Feng pressed Lin Xuan's head tightly against his chest, and was knocked down onto the living room sofa by the sudden gust of air as they entered the space.
Xiao Huang was startled when he saw the two people who suddenly fell in.
Come over and smell them.
Those who are alive are thankful, thankful. Otherwise, if no one went hunting, what would I eat?
It wagged its tail and walked away, then lay down on its own little sofa to continue sleeping.
Damn, this is really going to scare her to death! You really can't just try out this kind of superpower.
They're either fainting or exploding; who can stand that?
Lin Xuan climbed off Xia Feng and quickly went to Fang Jingzi to look outside.
On the screen, the outside world was filled with billowing black smoke, its outline flashing intermittently.
Lin Xuan suddenly thought of a question: if Zhou Lerui and the others were nearby, would they be blown up?
Her hair was practically standing on end. No way, no way, please don't let us accidentally hit friendly forces!
