When Wang Lan saw the wolf pack suddenly stop, he immediately connected this place with the restricted area within the safe zone.
However, the others who had clearly never seen that restricted area were unaware of this problem. They were still engrossed in the continuous shooting and did not notice that the wolf pack had stopped, nor did they notice that the distance between the two sides was constantly increasing.
"parking!"
Wang Lan turned around and shouted.
The thunderous sound immediately brought the Holy Envoy back to his senses, and he issued the order: "Stop the car!"
The driver immediately slammed on the brakes, and the truck came to a stop.
The car suddenly stopped while moving at high speed, and the people in the car were thrown forward by inertia, hitting the front of the car with thuds. Ignoring the pain in their heads, they asked one after another, "What happened? What happened? Why did it stop!"
"The wolf pack has stopped!"
Wang Lan glanced at the crowd, jumped out of the car, and pointed in the direction of the wolf pack.
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, and then looked over. They saw that the wolf pack had stopped about a hundred meters behind them, pacing back and forth, seemingly wanting to continue, but also appearing hesitant and afraid to move forward.
The envoy alighted from the carriage, followed closely by soldiers in white armor.
The villagers from Hope Village realized what was happening and jumped down, but their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground.
The envoy ignored them and led the white-armored soldiers straight to Wang Lan's side, standing with him.
“It seems these monsters dare not come any closer,” the holy messenger said.
Wang Lan nodded and said, "These guys have a far greater sense of danger than humans. You can tell just by looking at them that there's definitely something wrong with this place."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud "whoosh" of violent vomiting suddenly came from behind.
The group turned around and saw that several villagers were kneeling on the ground, vomiting violently.
Wang Lan sneered and said, "It's nothing. I just couldn't take the mental and physical stimulation. I'll be fine after vomiting."
The envoy turned to look at Wang Lan, "What are your plans?"
Wang Lan turned and glanced at the Holy Envoy, saying, "Shouldn't you be in charge of this team? Why are you asking me?"
The envoy replied, “I am indeed in charge of this group, but to be honest, this is the first time I’ve encountered something like this. Whether it’s the wolf pack or the sudden stop and hesitation of the wolf pack, this is the first time we’ve experienced anything like this. But it seems to me that you are very experienced.”
"I wouldn't say I've had many, I've just encountered them," Wang Lan said, the image of the fat man involuntarily flashing through his mind.
The fat man died in the fog of evolution.
He looked back at the crowd and saw that the white-armored soldiers stood upright, while the villagers were listless. Wang Lan sighed and thought to himself that this place was extremely strange. He wondered how many people would die this time.
“Let’s take a rest first,” Wang Lan said. “Since the wolf pack stopped over there, it means that even if there is danger, we are on the verge of danger. These people are also tired. Let’s rest here, observe the situation, and see what the wolf pack does.”
“Alright,” the Holy Envoy nodded and said, “Then I’ll listen to you. Let’s rest for now. I’m afraid your Holy Soldiers will go inside and check the situation.”
“Let’s pair up,” Wang Lan said. “A pack of wolves is incredibly strong. If even this pack of wolves doesn’t dare to go forward, it means that the danger in this place is beyond our imagination. It’s safer to go in pairs.”
The envoy nodded upon hearing this and went to the back to assign tasks.
Wang Lan carefully looked around, observing the changes in the plants.
The grass on the ground seemed much taller and thicker than where the wolves were, but strangely, the trees were nowhere to be seen. Looking around, it seemed that from where the wolves were, all the way to this place, there were no trees to be seen.
Of course, what attracted Wang Lan's attention the most was this side, where fog seemed to have appeared...
Moreover, the deeper one looked, the thicker the fog became, to the point that even Wang Lan's vision became somewhat blurred. In this light, it seemed more like a restricted area within the safe zone.
But how did this "forbidden zone" come about?
The restricted areas within the safe zone originated from the experiments at the final fortress, but what about here?
Wang Lan withdrew his gaze and silently opened the C system. He saw that all the values remained stable without any changes, and the C system itself did not show any abnormalities.
He sat down on the spot and quietly took in his surroundings.
But still, nothing was gained.
Just then, from among the wolf pack in the distance, one wolf raised its head and howled to the sky!
The wolves immediately seemed to be startled, turned around, and scattered in all directions.
This scene was truly bizarre.
The Holy Envoy finished assigning tasks to the Holy Soldiers and happened to witness this scene, so he followed them over.
"What happened?"
"I don't know," Wang Lan said honestly. "It seems that the alpha wolf in the pack discovered something and then led the other wolves away. How are your arrangements going?"
The Holy Envoy said, "We didn't send out that many people. After thinking about it carefully, we felt it was best to be cautious, so we sent out three Holy Soldiers in three directions, and the rest stayed here."
"Only three people? And they're split into three directions?" Wang Lan glanced at him and said, "You really don't take your men seriously, do you?"
"The armor worn by the holy soldiers is stronger than you can imagine, and each of them is equipped with a positioning system, so don't worry."
“I’ve always been at ease,” Wang Lan smiled slightly, as he had never cared about the life or death of the sacred weapon.
The envoy then asked, "Mr. Wang, could you share some good experiences and methods you have for dealing with this kind of matter?"
“No,” Wang Lan said bluntly, “My approach is to take it one step at a time.”
"Take it one step at a time?"
“Yes, let’s take it one step at a time,” Wang Lan said, then turned around and walked towards the group from Hope Village.
The group of people had vomited until their faces turned pale.
Wang Lan looked down at the group.
The others then raised their heads and looked at Wang Lan.
"Mr. Wang..."
Even his voice sounded weak and listless.
Wang Lan looked at the group with a cold expression and said, "Our current situation has reached a very dangerous point. Considering your own circumstances, I need to ask for your opinions."
"Our opinion?"
Seeing the serious expression on Wang Lan's face, the group suppressed their urge to vomit and exchanged bewildered glances.
"We've reached a dilemma. If we go forward, we don't know what dangers we'll encounter or what monsters we'll run into. But if we go back, we'll be facing a pack of wolves. So now is the time for you to make a choice: stay put or face the danger?"
"Safe...safe and secure?"
The group exchanged glances, and Ding Taishun looked up and asked, "Anwen, what do you mean?"
Wang Lan smiled slightly and said, "I will do my best to make sure you die as quickly and painlessly as possible, without any suffering at all. That's what I mean by peace!"
