Three cars drove out of the city and headed towards Xiaoshi Village, where they had lost contact.
Xiaoshi Village is located in a remote location with only two narrow cement roads leading to the village. If they hadn't received a phone call reporting the situation, they wouldn't have discovered the abnormality so quickly.
"Just the few of us going, why not invite a few more?"
We already know what's wrong, so why not just send a large army over there with a bunch of cannons and heavy machine guns? What monster can make a difference in the face of such weapons?
"There are things to deal with everywhere now. The army has called up retired soldiers, but they still say they are short of manpower." Zhou Yaning explained to him, and if she was not sure, she would not take the risk.
She turned her head and looked at him: "You are a warrior, Xiao Ling, Chen Long and I are all superpowered. Move carefully, we should be able to handle it."
"You guys have become superpowers, how did you do it?"
Lu Chengchuan had no idea when they became superpowers.
"I woke up a few days ago. I don't know how I woke up, but I woke up and found myself as a mutant."
This sounds perfunctory, but Zhou Yaning really doesn't know what's going on.
An hour later, three cars drove into the road leading to Xiaoshi Village.
There were lush crops growing on both sides of the road, but no villagers came out to take care of them even in broad daylight. After driving for ten minutes, they couldn't see a single person, let alone a dog.
Quiet, so quiet that it seems eerie.
The car stopped at the edge of Xiaoshi Village, which was covered by black fog. They found several large military vehicles. They had arrived here yesterday.
When everyone went to check, they found that everyone was missing and the car tires and equipment were severely damaged.
"Where are all the people?"
"Captain, there are traces of blood and fighting here. They might have been captured by monsters."
There were many traces around the car, and there were several guns on the ground with the safety on but unfired bullets. Zhou Yaning went forward to check and confirmed that the people were dragged into the village.
The black fog covered the entire village. Nothing could be seen from the outside. Only by going inside could one know what was happening.
"Captain Li, leave five of you behind to guard, and the rest of you follow us in."
In addition to the six people from the Investigation Bureau and Lu Chengchuan, there were twenty soldiers to cooperate with them. Zhou Yaning asked a few people to stay behind in the car, and the remaining soldiers followed them into the village.
The black fog will block the signal, and once they go in they will lose contact with the outside world, so they have to leave people outside.
"The things inside will come out to catch people, so they must be careful not to be attacked by monsters."
"Understood. I'll arrange it right away."
Li Wang raised his hand to salute, then went to arrange for the remaining soldiers.
The order they received was to obey Zhou Yaning's command and do whatever he told them to do.
Five people were selected to guard the car, and the rest picked up weapons, carried ammunition, and followed the investigation bureau into the fog.
Lu Chengchuan hung the fine steel sword on his body, holding a rifle in his hand and entered the fog with Zhou Yaning.
The moment they entered the fog, Lu Chengchuan and others saw darkness in front of their eyes. They were very familiar with this, as it was the same when they entered the shopping mall before. After waiting for a while, they could see things again.
"Is this the interior of Xiaoshi Village?"
When they came in, they found themselves standing on a cement road with houses of different heights in front of them.
Lu Chengchuan turned around and saw darkness and a white circle of light. This was the entrance and exit of the fog, and they entered another space.
Zhou Yaning checked the communicator and found that there was no signal.
"Advance carefully, and shoot immediately if you see any monsters." Zhou Yaning gave Li the order, then turned to Lu Chengchuan and asked, "Do you know where the core is?"
"Why are you asking me? Do you think I know?"
Lu Chengchuan did know where the core of the fog was. The moment he came in, he felt the call again. It was just in front of him. Calculating the distance, it should be in the center of the village.
But he really couldn't admit this. In the eyes of the Investigation Bureau, there were already many strange things about him, and he couldn't show anything special anymore.
"Then where do you think the thing will be? Can you guess the location?" Zhou Yaning did not force the question, but asked it in a different way.
Lu Chengchuan thought for a moment and pointed forward: "I guess the thing is inside the village, probably in the center."
"Let's go, target the village center!"
After knowing where the source of the black fog energy was, Zhou Yaning immediately ordered to set off.
She believed Lu Chengchuan's 'guess' that the source of the black fog energy was definitely in the center of the village.
"Ah Xin, go ahead and check the situation. Come back every ten minutes and report immediately if you find anything unusual."
Zhou Yaning asked his subordinates to explore the way first.
The young man named Ashin responded and quickened his pace.
After taking a few steps, his figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight. Lu Chengchuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that this person's ability was invisibility.
With someone who can become invisible leading the way ahead, the team behind is much more relaxed.
The large group walked for more than twenty minutes, but no monster appeared. Ah Xin, who went to explore the way, came back twice, but he also did not find any trace of the monster ahead.
The village was lifeless, with the only sound being the thud of people's footsteps.
After walking around for more than ten minutes, they arrived at the center of the village. At this time, Zheng Xin, who had just left for a few minutes, suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Captain, there are more than a dozen monsters a hundred meters ahead. Judging from their attire, they appear to be villagers from here."
Zheng Xin came back to report what he saw.
There are monsters in front, and those monsters look like humans, with many wounds on their bodies, dull eyes, and scattered consciousness, and they can only move around unconsciously.
"You mean, something turned the villagers into monsters?"
After discovering the monster, Zhou Yaning asked the team to stop.
"Monster spotted on the left!"
"Monster spotted on the right!"
Just as she was about to ask further questions, the soldiers on guard on both sides noticed a monster coming. They immediately sounded the alarm and opened the safety of their guns, preparing to attack the monster.
Lu Chengchuan looked to the right and found dozens of humanoid monsters slowly walking towards him. They were dressed like modern people and might be villagers from this village.
Zhou Yaning also saw it, and she also realized that these things were definitely not normal humans.
"shot!"
There is nothing much to say. If you encounter a monster, just shoot it. If you don't shoot, the monster will come and kill you.
The soldiers had received rigorous training and had experience fighting monsters for a long time. When they received the order to fire, they immediately pulled the trigger and fired bullets at the monsters.
The sound of gunfire echoed throughout the black fog. Hearing the sound, the monster in front also ran over.
Lu Chengchuan picked up his rifle and prepared to face the monster.
There were nearly a hundred monsters on both sides combined, but they were very weak and were easily defeated by the hail of bullets. By the time the magazines were empty, no monsters on either side were left standing.
There were not many monsters running from the front, and Lu Chengchuan and several people from the Investigation Bureau easily killed them with guns.
After a while, the monsters fell to the ground, some of them were still wailing, and the soldiers went over in groups to shoot them again.
After killing the monster that suddenly appeared, everyone planned to move forward. Suddenly, a dozen monsters appeared in front of them.
