Seeing the crowd in the distance begin to go crazy, Lu Yuan frowned slightly and glanced at Chen Ling beside him. She was obviously also a little overwhelmed by the scene inside, her brows furrowed, her eyes half-closed, and her body pressed tightly against the wall.
"Why don't we leave?" Chen Ling finally couldn't take it anymore and suggested.
Lu Yuan had already thought of this, so he nodded: "Okay! Then Mi Tingting..."
Chen Ling glanced at Lu Yuan: "I'll go call her back!"
However, Lu Yuan noticed a hint of fear in the other person's eyes, so he grabbed the other person and pulled him over.
"I'll go! It's too chaotic in there!"
Chen Ling looked at Lu Yuan with gratitude: "Thank you!"
"Alright! Take good care of yourself here. I'll be right back with her!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan strode over.
The further Lu Yuan walked, the more he felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He just felt a little dizzy from the lights and his head was spinning from the music.
There was a red line underfoot; stepping across it would mean you were truly on the dance floor, but Lu Yuan shook his head violently.
"Damn it! What on earth is going on here?"
Looking down at the red line beneath his feet, Lu Yuan took a deep sniff of the air. The dazed feeling he had just experienced intensified, and a voice in his head seemed to be constantly urging him to move forward.
"Damn it! There's something wrong inside!"
Before he could get too caught up in the moment, Lu Yuan bit the tip of his tongue. The stinging pain brought him back to his senses.
Looking at the dance floor again, Lu Yuan saw the ambient lights flashing incessantly. As the raucous music continued to blare, several huge chimney-like structures in the center of the dance floor would occasionally spew out a thick fog-like substance. If this had happened before the apocalypse, Lu Yuan wouldn't have suspected anything; it would just be dry ice creating mist to enhance the atmosphere. However, after what had just happened, Lu Yuan strongly suspected that someone was releasing a kind of neurotic gas that could make people extremely irritable and cause them to become mentally unstable.
Seeing Lu Yuan standing in front of the red line, not understanding, Chen Ling, who was some distance away, couldn't help but walk over with some concern.
He felt his arm being gently pulled, and Lu Yuan immediately raised his arm in a defensive posture.
This truly terrified Chen Ling, and her eyes were filled with intense fear.
"What... what's wrong with you?"
After saying that, she pointed to Mi Tingting, who was still frantically waving her body, and said, "Should I go and call Tingting?"
Then Chen Ling took a step to go inside, but Lu Yuan grabbed her.
"Come back! There's something unclean in here!"
"What?"
Chen Ling was slightly taken aback, looking at Lu Yuan in disbelief.
"That's right! There's some kind of nerve gas in here! If you go in, you might end up like Mi Tingting! So, you'd better not go in!"
Seeing Chen Ling's pale face and nervous expression, she pointed to Mi Tingting in the crowd: "Then... what about Tingting? You need to find a way to rescue her!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Don't be nervous! Let me think of something! You wait for me outside! I'll go to the restroom to see if there's anything there!"
When Chen Ling heard that Lu Yuan was leaving, she immediately followed him with a nervous expression.
"I...I'll go with you!"
Lu Yuan smiled when he saw the other person's nervous expression: "Scared? Okay! Then stick close to me!"
Chen Ling nodded frantically, clinging tightly to Lu Yuan's sleeve like a frightened little lamb.
Once in the restroom, Lu Yuan settled the other person in and then went straight inside.
Lu Yuan quietly opened the dimensional space and casually took out a gas mask, but thinking of the guards around him, he put the gas mask down again.
"No, this is too conspicuous! We need to find a different one!"
Suddenly, the image of the frenzied crowd on the dance floor flashed through Lu Yuan's mind, and he immediately had an idea.
They found two hoods in the pile of debris. These hoods were found on the yacht before; they were left behind by the wealthy man when he held a masquerade ball.
These kinds of things are sold everywhere in bars and nightclubs. Lu Yuan took the mask and began to modify it.
First, the gas mask's hood was disassembled, then the filter layer was removed, and then glue was used to attach the filter layer to the mask.
However, to avoid being too conspicuous, he specially found a piece of cloth the same color as the mask to cover it, so as to prevent people from noticing.
Having finished everything, Lu Yuan emerged from the dimensional space, preparing to take Chen Ling to find Mi Tingting.
At that moment, heavy footsteps came from outside the restroom. Lu Yuan had learned from Zhou Tong how to distinguish whether a person was a man or a woman by the sound of their footsteps, and he could also tell the other person's weight and physical condition from the sound of their footsteps.
I pressed my ear against the bathroom door, listening to the footsteps. The footsteps were slow and heavy, accompanied by heavy breathing.
"Two hundred pounds, male, with a minor injury to his left leg! Alone!"
After assessing the situation, Lu Yuan immediately felt relieved. As for whether the other party had a gun, Lu Yuan didn't know, so he quietly took out a pistol from his dimensional space just in case.
The footsteps stopped in front of Lu Yuan's door. Lu Yuan frowned slightly. Through the bathroom door, he saw a pair of large leather shoes with a trace of water on them.
