"Ruoruo, what's wrong with you?" Qi Jiang couldn't help but ask anxiously when he saw Chen Ruoruo's abnormal condition.
"..." Chen Ruoruo raised her head, her face was pale, her eyes were red, and she looked at everyone with wet eyes, looking pitiful and fragile.
When everyone saw Chen Ruoruo's appearance, which was like a fragile little white rabbit, they were stunned and speechless for a moment. They couldn't help but pause in their hearts. They didn't know what Chen Ruoruo had just experienced in the carriage. Why did she suddenly seem like a different person?
"What's going on?" A serious and cold voice sounded.
Then, Zhou Zhiguo walked up quickly and glanced at everyone around him with a bad look. Then he looked at Chen Ruoruo with concern. He saw her eyes like a deer, looking at her pitifully.
For a moment, Zhou Zhiguo wanted to move everything in the world in front of her and let her choose.
"It's okay..." Chen Ruoruo lowered her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, waving to everyone to indicate that she was fine.
Chen Ruoruo tried hard to calm her frantic heartbeat. She was too embarrassed to say that she was frightened. She had just smelled the stench and had thrust her consciousness out.
Then, she saw a scene that made her shudder and terrified. She saw that the mountains not far away, and even the surrounding mountains, were almost all densely packed with all kinds of large and small, colorful mutant snakes.
They entangled themselves on the mutated grass, bushes and trees in the mountains and kept wriggling. From a distance, the whole mountain seemed to be wriggling. The whole mountain was covered with sticky and disgusting mucus, which stuck to the grass, leaves and trees everywhere in the mountain. It was disgusting and terrifying at first glance.
The moment Chen Ruoruo saw this scene, she felt her scalp tighten and numb, her whole body felt weak and powerless, and she felt like a piece of cotton, unable to exert any strength at all.
For a moment, she deeply regretted taking on this mission and even had the thought of running away immediately. Then, she quickly withdrew her consciousness and did not dare to explore it again.
"..." Zhou Zhiguo and the others exchanged glances at Chen Ruoruo, who still drooped her head. Her voice was trembling, and it wasn't as if nothing had happened as she had said. They figured something must have happened in the carriage that they didn't know about.
However, even when facing the mutant black bear and the rat horde, Chen Ruoruo never changed her expression, not even showing the slightest fear or terror. Her current expression clearly showed that she was frightened by something.
Something that could scare her so much must not be an ordinary thing. Everyone couldn't help but wonder if it was because of the target of this mission?
If this is true, and can make Chen Ruoruo so scared, perhaps the target of the mission they are facing this time may be something many times more powerful than the mutant black bear and the rat tide.
Everyone in the group seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation, but they just looked at the few people beside Chen Ruoruo who were as quiet as chickens.
Zhou Zhiguo and others couldn't help but wonder again. If they really encountered a strong enemy, why didn't they make any warning sounds?
This made everyone feel very strange, so everyone subconsciously became more alert.
After confirming that Chen Ruoruo was fine, Zhou Zhiguo asked Qi Jiang, Han Xiao and others to protect her. After everything was settled, Zhou Zhiguo went down to arrange the division of labor for the team members.
At the same time, in order to be cautious, Tao Wei and others were specially arranged to check the situation in front of the convoy.
Soon, Tao Wei and his men returned, his face solemn and beads of sweat on his forehead.
"How is it? What's the situation ahead?" Zhou Zhiguo asked anxiously with a serious face, staring at Tao Wei closely.
"The mountains ahead are basically full of mutant snakes..." Tao Wei suppressed his doubts, calmed down a little, and then said to Zhou Zhiguo.
"Is it just the mutant snakes? Are you sure there are no traces of other powerful mutant creatures?" Zhou Zhiguo frowned even tighter, his eyes full of confusion and uncertainty, and asked Tao Wei.
"Hmm... So far, it seems there are only mutant snakes..." Tao Wei nodded in confirmation, looking at Zhou Zhiguo in confusion. Why is the captain acting so strangely today? Zhou Zhiguo's brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important.
"What's going on with those mutated snakes?" Zhou Zhiguo looked at Tao Wei again and asked.
"There are a lot of mutant snakes on that mountain, but..." Tao Wei paused and hesitated whether to say it.
"What?" Zhou Zhiguo asked.
"There are just a lot of mutant snakes on the mountain. Although they are more ferocious than other mutant snakes, it shouldn't be a big problem for us to deal with them with so many people..." Tao Wei said.
"Don't be careless. Tell everyone to stay alert and be careful when going on missions..." After hearing Tao Wei's words, Zhou Zhiguo's tense expression relaxed a little, and then he gave another reminder.
"Yes..." Tao Wei replied, and then went downstairs to make arrangements.
Zhou Zhiguo watched Tao Wei leave and his face darkened again. The reason why he chose to carry out the mission this time was because he took into account that the mutant black bear he dealt with in the last mission was too dangerous, and in view of the various rumors at present, he also took into account the complex situations that might arise throughout this mission.
So, this time, I deliberately chose a less dangerous location. According to Tao Wei's report, this is indeed the case here. But, even if that's the case, what exactly is Chen Ruoruo afraid of? Why is she so frightened?
