Chapter 20: An unexpected turn in the site selection for an abandoned factory



Mou Xuan narrowed his eyes, and a playful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The "scenery" over here in the villa area seems interesting, but now is not the time to delve into it.

He temporarily put aside his intention to investigate and decided to go and see the so-called abandoned factory first.

With a step on the accelerator, his car rushed out of the villa area like a steel beast with a roar and headed straight for the destination.

The rusty iron gate of the abandoned factory looks like a weathered old man, creaking and groaning, telling of the passing of time.

The door was covered with ivy, adding a bit of eerie atmosphere.

Mou Xuan was not in the mood to appreciate the "doomsday" scenery. He pushed open the car door and stepped in.

A musty and dusty smell wafted towards him, making Mou Xuan frown.

He looked around. The factory was filled with discarded mechanical parts and unknown debris, like a huge garbage dump.

The sunlight shines through the shabby glass windows, casting mottled shadows on the ground, making it look a little eerie.

"Tsk tsk, this place is really shabby!" Mou Xuan complained. However, this place unexpectedly met his needs. It was remote and hidden enough.

He did not go deeper immediately, but stood where he was, carefully observing the surrounding environment.

There was a stale smell in the air, as if something was rotting, making people feel uncomfortable.

He could feel that beneath these seemingly peaceful ruins, there was some unknown danger hidden.

There was thick dust under my feet, and every step I took raised a small cloud of dust, which looked particularly strange in the dim light.

Some rusty metal pipes, like coiled poisonous snakes, may fall from the sky at any time.

The beams above my head were also shaking, as if they would collapse at any time.

"This place is so exciting!" Mou Xuan's eyes revealed a hint of excitement, but also a bit of vigilance.

He was a little hesitant. If he went further, the risks would be unknown, but he was unwilling to give up.

He raised his hand and touched his chin, his eyes sweeping across the ruins in front of him, as if considering his next move.

Suddenly, a slight "click" sound broke the silence of the abandoned factory.

Mou Xuan's pupils contracted instantly and his body tensed up instinctively. He raised his head abruptly and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Mou Xuan's nerves instantly tensed up, his adrenaline soaring, like a cheetah entering combat mode.

He leaped to the side suddenly, and there was a loud "clang". A huge rusty metal plate fell from the sky and hit the place where he had just stood. Dust flew and gravel splashed everywhere, as if there was an earthquake.

"Fuck!" Mou Xuan cursed, his heart beating faster and almost jumping out of his throat.

He took a few deep breaths, his eyes swept across the deep hole in the ground, and he felt a chill on his back.

If he was a second slower, he would have died on the spot, smashed into a meat patty, and experienced the feeling of being a "cookie".

He put away his contempt. This abandoned factory was not a good place to go. It was full of unknown dangers.

"It seems there is something interesting here!" Mou Xuan licked his lips.

It was eerily quiet all around. The only sound I could hear was my own heavy breathing and heartbeat. It was so quiet that it made my scalp tingle. In such a silent environment, the danger made me even more uneasy, like a wild beast lurking in the darkness, ready to pounce on me and bite me at any time.

Just as he was thinking about his next move, a rustling sound came from a corner not far away.

Mou Xuan immediately became alert, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, staring at the source of the sound.

A figure walked out stealthily from the shadows. It was Engineer Lin whom we met before.

When Engineer Lin saw Mou Xuan, a look of horror appeared on his face, as if he had seen something horrible. His lips trembled and he began to stutter.

"Are you...are you...are you okay? It was...it was so scary just now. This place is too dangerous. I...I'm leaving first!" Engineer Lin said, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Stop!" Mou Xuan stopped him coldly, with a tone that contained a command that could not be refused.

"Engineer Lin, you seem to be familiar with this place?"

Engineer Lin's body froze, as if he had been acupunctured, and he stopped where he was.

He turned around with an embarrassed look on his face, and the fat on his face was squeezed into a ball.

"I...I just worked here before, but it's too dangerous here now, so I think it's better to leave as soon as possible."

"Leave? No, I think we should cooperate." Mou Xuan raised a meaningful smile and looked directly at Engineer Lin.

"You are familiar with this place, and I am quite skilled. Wouldn't it be safer if we work together?"

Engineer Lin was stunned. He originally thought that Mou Xuan would be curious about this place like everyone else, and he could take the opportunity to slip away.

But Mou Xuan did the opposite. Not only was he not afraid, he also wanted to cooperate with him.

This is totally different from what he expected!

"Cooperation?" Engineer Lin's face was full of reluctance. He was timid and didn't want to take risks with Mou Xuan at all.

But Mou Xuan's unquestionable tone made him dare not refuse easily. He felt as if there were ten thousand ants crawling in his heart, and he was anxious.

"Of course it's cooperation, what else? Do you want to wait to die here alone?" Mou Xuan deliberately provoked him with a hint of playfulness in his tone.

"Or do you think you can leave safely?"

Mou Xuan's eyes were so cold that Engineer Lin shuddered.

He looked at Mou Xuan and felt as if he was being stared at by a wild beast, completely unable to resist.
