"The warehouse behind the industrial park is on fire..."
Overwhelmed by the president's imposing aura, the wild ghost almost couldn't breathe and stammered as he repeated himself. Before he could finish speaking, he felt a tightness in his chest and was lifted up by the president, who grabbed him by the neck.
"Where are the things inside?"
"No, I don't know," Xiao Gui stammered, coughing. "The fire was so big, the food in the warehouse was probably..."
"Hmph, I don't care about those supplies, you useless trash!" The guild leader sneered and threw the little ghost off the second-floor private room, feeding it to the big fish in the pool. Then he pointed to another little ghost who had come with him, "Where's the stuff?"
"Dong, Dongxi... the fire was too big, we couldn't go in to check, but it's probably... gone."
Upon hearing this, the guild leader waved his hand and sent all the little monsters responsible for guarding the pond into the fish pond.
"Useless! All of you are useless!"
What's the point of having them if they can't even guard something?
That was something that important people above needed, and now that it's lost, how is he going to explain it to them?
However, the Ghost Clan knows more about that stuff. If it were humans, they would only need some supplies; they wouldn't be interested in the resurrection liquid.
Could it be that...?
Wait a minute, the new chairman of Red City has already been thrown into the fishpond by his subordinates, how could this still happen?
Who could it be?
"President, President, the latest report is that everything is normal in the Guishi Commercial Street of Red City. There is no announcement of a change of ownership, nor any emergency situation following the death of the Chamber of Commerce President."
How is that possible?
The provincial president looked down at the fishpond below the stage in surprise. In the darkness, everything was just right, not even a corpse was left. How could everything be normal?
The rules can't be wrong, so it must be that they... killed the wrong person?!
What kind of thing did they just kill?
...
"The vehicle has come to a complete stop. Please get off!"
After several hours of slow travel, the bus finally arrived at its stop. Along the way, apart from Su Luo who slept comfortably, Lu Fuling was the most excited, even a little thrilled about starting a new life. In contrast, the others were not very interested and were even a little nervous, afraid that a star-level monster might jump out from any corner.
Unfortunately, the only thing that happened along the way was the driver driving, the tires squeaking and Lu Fuling exclaiming in surprise. Nothing happened at all, it was incredibly safe, even safer than a bus before the apocalypse!
As if triggered by some kind of biological alarm clock, Su Luo woke up the instant the bus stopped.
I need to recover after staying up all night. I'll put on a face mask when I have time later. Even though it's the apocalypse, I can't neglect myself!
Let's go.
Su Luo said to Lu Fuling beside her, got up naturally as if strolling in her own backyard, and casually got out of the car.
A group of young people sitting together watched this scene with disbelief in their eyes, then gritted their teeth and quickly slipped off the bus.
Just kidding, it's a strange instance after all. If it suddenly attacks, they won't even know how they died.
As soon as they got out of the car, the scene in front of them stunned them.
Is this a house that exists in the apocalypse?
Through the clean and tidy floor-to-ceiling windows, you can clearly see the interior furnishings. It's a low-key yet luxurious European style, with a luxurious leather sofa, an expensive-looking cherry wood coffee table, embroidered wallpaper, a multi-tiered crystal chandelier, and elegant oil paintings. Before the apocalypse, you could probably praise it, but after the apocalypse, where can you find such a luxurious house? It must be a dream!
"We're all hungry, let's grab a bite to eat first."
"Then tell me slowly."
Su Luo also went out for a night. Although she had a good haul, boxed lunches couldn't compare to hot stir-fries. Snacks were delicious but not filling. She preferred the food from the gourmet.
Pushing open the door to the small house, the others behind him followed suit. As soon as they entered, they felt even more strongly that the house was extraordinary, with decorations that ordinary people could not afford.
Seeing familiar scenes of human activity, the group gradually relaxed and even began to cautiously examine the small house.
Honestly, even Noah's Ark Base might not be able to keep up with this configuration!
"This wood carving is so lifelike, it must be the work of a master!"
"Look at this! This box looks old. It doesn't look fake. It might actually be an antique!" A young man wearing black-rimmed glasses looked at a rusty box on the table with great excitement. He even leaned closer to examine it closely and excitedly explained it to his companion.
Just as the man was about to touch the box, the metal box suddenly moved, and then two hands and feet sprang out from it, stood up in a flash, and came face to face with the bespectacled boy.
"What are you doing? Can't you see Gui is sleeping? Don't you know what the word 'quiet' means?"
"Wow, weird, weird!"
A startled cry broke the silence, nearly causing the family of three standing beside a potted plant to fall to the ground.
"Hey, be careful, don't step on my head."
Something behind them caught them, preventing them from falling. The young father politely bowed his head to thank them. When he turned around, he saw something that looked like a brain, obediently hiding in the branch of a green plant. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the plant had no leaves at all, but was covered with tiny brain-like things!
"Thank, thank you... my goodness!"
The impact was too great; the young father couldn't withstand it and fainted. However, his brother, looking apologetic and guilty, helped him up and placed him on the sofa.
The group was quite frightened. Just then, a boy of about ten years old, wearing a modified suit, walked in. He had cute curly hair, a chubby face, and looked kind and friendly.
As soon as he entered, the people inside hurriedly tried to lead him out of the small house.
"No, don't come in! There's something fishy in here!"
"sly?"
The painted skin tilted its head, its gaze sweeping over the faces of the newcomers. It seemed to understand something, and then, quite seriously, tore its skin open in front of them.
Is it like this?
Everyone: !! ???
Did they accidentally disturb a den of monsters? The whole room is full of monsters, and high-class, star-level monsters at that!
A dozen minutes later, Su Luo, who had taken a shower and changed her clothes, walked out of the bedroom and happened to meet the gourmet who was carrying a barbecue grill.
"Boss, boss, congratulations on your trip! I've prepared some delicious barbecue for you today, along with all sorts of skewers and a big mug of beer. How about we call Hua Ge and the others, and drink until we drop!"
Su Luo nodded upon hearing this and said, "We just have a few newcomers, so I should introduce them to you."
As they spoke, the human and the ghost arrived at the front reception room, where only Lu Fuling, her eyes sparkling, was present.
Su Luo looked around and finally fixed her gaze on Lu Fuling, asking curiously.
Where are they?
