Contrary to Aunt Shi's expectations, Lu Mingming was not asleep in the room.
She connected her mental energy to the herb that had been "kindly left behind," confirmed that there were no problems with the connector, and excitedly awaited the recording results.
The herb has not been used by anyone, whether out of caution or for other reasons, which is why it has been preserved to this day, allowing Lu Mingming to easily hear any sound from the security guard's location.
The background noise was slightly chaotic, with people talking and children playing mixed together, and the occasional sound of plastic bags rubbing against each other. The sounds of daily life and human voices blended together, making it hard to believe that this was an epidemic area known as the "death zone."
After passing this noisy checkpoint, the security guard's heavy footsteps became exceptionally clear, but unfortunately, the crackling sound of electricity mixed in made the originally audible sounds increasingly muffled.
It is estimated that a magnetic field was set up to restrict the mental sea.
As Lu Mingming thought about it, her curiosity about the secrets of the epidemic area grew even stronger.
After a few seconds, the security guard stopped and stood still.
During the period of magnetic interference, Lu Mingming heard the security guard say, "You've decided... three days later... *buzz*—"
"I... took this opportunity... to..."
The voice of the person answering was slightly distorted, vague and familiar to Lu Mingming, but no one could match it for the time being.
The initial spark of inspiration vanished in an instant, and the mysterious man's name disappeared completely just as it was about to be uttered.
"Okay, I respect your decision."
The security guard sighed.
"By the way... little girl... what are you going to do? You... have a kind heart..."
"I know...the arrangements..."

The busy signal basically covered the entire conversation, and it became increasingly difficult to hear their voices towards the end.
With a "beep," it indicates that the recording range of the bug has ended.
Everything returned to a tranquil atmosphere, leaving Lu Mingming completely bewildered after hearing this.
She seemed to know everything, yet also seemed to have heard nothing clearly, like in an exam where the test paper didn't provide a specific passage, but the test setter gave her a cloze test full of incomprehensible questions.
Lu Mingming finally decided to give up for now and go to sleep!
Meanwhile, at a secret base somewhere.
Inside the auction house, the attendant sent on the mission was hoisted high up, his limbs spread out in a "T" shape, with thick and flexible vines tightly constricting his neck, gradually increasing the pressure.
The servant's eyes were closed as if he were fast asleep, and his face gradually turned rose-red, eventually settling on a purplish-black, almost devoid of any sign of life.
"Someone who can't do things right."
With a furious shout, the vines flung the servant into a huge pool of blood, splashing up a thick, sticky liquid.

A cursory glance at the pool of blood revealed dozens of corpses, each with a gaping hole in its chest, from which crimson blood flowed eerily, resembling a newly born hell on earth.
"I need the ghost ginseng! I need the ghost ginseng to prolong my life!! If I can't find the ghost ginseng, go and capture people from the slums, three of them every day to provide me with fresh blood!!"
On the high platform, a withered face was distorted, like a tree branch covered with a layer of skin, making it look old and wrinkled, and impossible to discern any specific human features.
"Yes, I will take care of it right away."
The people below were drenched in cold sweat and dared not offer the slightest resistance.
In recent years, the city lord's temper has become increasingly strange, and coupled with the loss of his youthful appearance, he has watched step by step transform into a ruthless killer.
The Lord of Sin City sneered.
"You'd better hurry up and finish this, especially the one who got the ghost ginseng. You must capture her, otherwise..."
The city lord of Sin City stared at his subordinate with his dim, yellow eyes, a deep greed welling up in them.
"Guess who's next to lie in the pool of blood?"

...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
"I'm going to dig for herbs. Breakfast is on the table. If you're hungry, go and eat."
Early in the morning, Aunt Shi packed her bags at the usual time and set off for the forest outside the city once again.
She carries the same bag every day, leaving early and returning late.
I don't know when I'll be back today.
Lu Mingming watched Aunt Shi's retreating figure.
Over the past three days, Aunt Shi has been leaving earlier and returning later each day; yesterday she didn't get back until 2 AM.
If Lu Mingming hadn't been a light sleeper and hadn't coincidentally heard the crisp sound of Aunt Shi's herb-digging tools hitting the ground, she probably wouldn't have realized it at all.
Even though I know the other person has been behaving strangely lately, I don't want to ask too many questions, since it's their privacy.

Lu Mingming quietly finished her breakfast, cleaned up the kitchen, and hummed a tune from a Blue Star song.
"Judging by the time, the enforcement team should be here soon, right?"
Lu Mingming stopped what he was doing and muttered to himself.
During these three days, apart from Orannal and Lu Yan sending people to deliver gifts to her, Lu Mingming hardly went to the so-called Chamber of Commerce.
It all comes down to the terrifying infectious disease the little boy mentioned three days ago.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man's soft cough came from outside the window.
"The enforcement team is here to patrol. Everyone, please pay attention and see if you have drawn your house's number."
