"We don't even know what the other party is, and we haven't even seen their shadow. What else can

we do except continue to wait?" Li Xue saw that these people were getting more and more impatient, so she tried to comfort them. "Haven't you realized that once someone leaves the team, they never come back? Maybe the other party is also jealous of us. After all, there are many of us, and everyone has superpowers or supernatural powers. Although our individual abilities are not as good as his, ants can kill elephants in large numbers. With so many of us together, he will also be jealous." These are all Li Xue's guesses. So, there is some element of comforting them, but apart from this possibility, Li Xue can't think of anything else.

Every time, only a small number of people left, and those people never came back. It was as if they wanted to break them up into small pieces and defeat them one by one. So Li Xue judged that the thing might not be as powerful as she imagined.

"Our only way now is to fight it and force it to show up."

Li Xue's words calmed down those who were a little out of control. Yes, they knew nothing about that thing, and there was no other way except to wait like this.

Everyone calmed down again and sat quietly in the same place.

Slowly, the dark sky began to turn white, and a new day came again.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Compared with the night, the day always made them feel more at ease.

Once again, they filled their stomachs with protein powder and the like from the pharmacy. Everyone prepared to go to the parking lot outside.

"Should we try to find them on the first floor? They couldn't have walked too far given what happened last night." Li Xue suggested, looking at the not-too-long corridor.

Li Feng nodded in agreement, and turned around to discuss with the captains of other teams. They all agreed that if they could find some people, they might know what was trapping them.

"Everyone should walk together in pairs, and it's best to walk backwards so that you can take care of the situation in front and behind. You must follow closely and don't fall behind. If you see anything wrong, you must speak up and remind them." Li Xue discussed with the captains of several mercenary teams, and then each of them told their own team members.

Afterwards, the Hope Team and Li Feng's Peak Team took the lead and walked in the front. At the end were members of another team, all walking backwards. These three mercenary teams were relatively powerful, so they walked in front and back. The other teams walked in the middle.

Everyone walked forward along the corridor. The corridor was not long, but because of the speed of those walking backwards, they walked very slowly. Soon, they reached the end of the corridor, and everyone checked the rooms on both sides of the corridor, but found nothing.

Li Xue suggested going upstairs to look again, and Li Feng had no objection, but the other teams were unwilling to do so. After all, the risk of going upstairs would definitely be greater than going downstairs, and they really didn't want to take that risk.

Li Xue and Li Feng didn't want to force it, after all, they were also thinking about the safety of their own team members.

The crowd maintained the formation and walked out of the hospital building and came to the parking lot.

The street outside the hospital was so quiet, as quiet as an ordinary morning before the end of the world.

But everyone's heart kept sinking. This situation could only mean that this hospital had been isolated from the world by that thing. Otherwise, according to the population density of this small county town, there would definitely be a lot of zombies on the street.

Li Feng walked to the gate of the hospital, and sure enough, at the place where the man was bounced back yesterday, he was also blocked by an invisible force. Li Feng retreated with a gloomy face. Those people who were expectant fell again.

Everyone sat down in the parking lot again. Fortunately, the weather today was much better than yesterday. It was no longer so gloomy, and the sun shone through the clouds.

A group of people sat in the parking lot with their eyes wide open for another day, and everyone's face was full of fatigue. They didn't dare to close their eyes for two days and one night. Haohao's eyes were dark, and Li Xue was very distressed. She was afraid that Haohao couldn't bear it, so Li Xue secretly put her finger on Haohao's mouth and fed the spiritual spring water into his mouth through her finger. In this way, Haohao's spirit was not so sluggish.

For the people in the Hope Team, Li Xue also deliberately took a bottle and asked Deng Xiaoyu, the girl with water-related supernatural powers, to get a few bottles of water in front of everyone. Then she secretly changed it to spiritual spring water and distributed it to several people.

After Jian Hui and Xiao Ye drank the water, they knew that Li Xue had changed the water, and then they looked at Hu Zi nervously, fearing that Hu Zi would notice the abnormality of the water. Who knew that Huzi would pour the whole bottle of water in one breath, and then he burped and smacked his lips and said, "After not eating for two days, even drinking water feels delicious."

Jian Hui and Xiao Ye didn't know whether to cry or laugh, their nerves were as strong as electric poles.

At night, everyone returned to the pharmacy. They continued to endure with their eyes closed. Some people who really couldn't hold on any longer began to prick their flesh with knives or other things, trying to use the pain to drive away the increasingly strong sleepiness. In

the base, the government security department was holding an emergency meeting.

"The mercenary team that went to Qingfeng County to carry out the mission the day before yesterday has not returned. According to the scheduled time, they should have returned yesterday afternoon." The secretary said to the superiors present.

"Could they have been delayed on the way?" asked the base commander Wang Weiming.

"This is unlikely. According to the original plan, they should have returned this morning at the latest." The secretary pushed the glasses on his nose.

"How many superpowers participated in this mission?" Minister Zhou was more concerned about this.

"There are 12 mercenary teams and 90 people participating in this mission. According to the data, there are 40 people with special abilities, 25 people with mutant abilities, and the rest are ordinary people. The base has sent a total of 12 trucks with drivers. Including the team leader, there are a total of 103 people."

"So many people?" Wang Weiming looked serious. "Can their location be determined now?"

"It is not certain yet. According to the report from the personnel sent by the base to inquire about the situation, no personnel or vehicles of ours were found until the suburbs of Qingfeng County. Only traces left by the vehicles were found along the way, and there was no sign of return." There

was no trace of them on the road. Could it be that they did not come out of the county town at all?

The atmosphere in the whole conference room was a little solemn. If so many espers were killed in that county city, not only would the base lose a group of espers, but it would be difficult to get those mercenary teams to help the base with tasks in the future. After all, the difficulty of this task is not high. Based on the abilities of these espers, there is basically no risk.

But now so many espers have gone and never come back, which shows that the mission information provided by the base is not accurate. Who will believe the base in the future? After all, no one is willing to risk their lives for some not-so-generous rewards.
