The blood-red glow spread across the sky like spilled paint, so thick that it could not be dissolved.
Mou Xuan's heart tightened. The strange red was more enchanting and disturbing than the sunset clouds.
A sense of oppression as if a storm was about to come made it almost impossible for him to breathe.
The cheers around gradually died down, and people noticed the strange phenomenon. The originally joyful atmosphere was instantly replaced by solemnity.
"This... why has the sky become like this?" Guo Shanmin asked in a trembling voice, his turbid eyes filled with fear.
The others looked at each other and talked a lot.
Mou Xuan frowned as memories of his past life came flooding back like a tide. The various visions before the end of the world were strikingly similar to the strange red light before him.
Could it be that...
Is the end of the world coming early?
"Mr. Mou, this... this isn't a bad omen, is it?" Engineer Lin's voice was trembling. He was timid and fearful, and at this moment he turned pale with fright.
Mou Xuan took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.
"Don't panic, this may just be a natural phenomenon." Although he said this, he knew in his heart that this was by no means as simple as a natural phenomenon.
Just then, a strange figure appeared in front of everyone.
The man was tall and wore a wide-brimmed hat with the brim pulled down so low that his face could not be seen clearly.
He walked up to Mou Xuan and handed him a sealed envelope, "Someone asked me to give this to you." After that, he turned and disappeared into the crowd at an astonishing speed.
Mou Xuan took the envelope in confusion. It was cold to the touch. There was no signature, only a few simple words - "Safe House Location Suggestions".
His heart was startled, and he quickly opened the envelope. Inside was a map with a location marked on it. There was also a line of small words next to it: "This place is hidden, easy to defend and difficult to attack, suitable as a safe house."
Mou Xuan's eyes fell on the location marked on the map, a place he had never heard of.
He suddenly raised his head, trying to look for the mysterious man, but found that he had disappeared without a trace.
"This..." Mou Xuan held the map tightly, his heart in turmoil.
Who is this mysterious man?
Why should he help himself?
What secrets are hidden in the place marked on this map?
"Mr. Mou, what's wrong?" Chen Yao noticed that Mou Xuan was acting strangely and asked with concern.
Mou Xuan shook his head and said nothing. He just stared at the map closely, and a bold idea arose in his mind.
Perhaps, this mysterious helper is the key to changing his destiny...
"Yaoyao, get ready, we'll leave tomorrow."
The bloody setting sun illuminated everyone's confused faces, and the air was filled with panic that the end of the world was approaching.
Guo Shanmin was still muttering, "There must be some evil spirit behind this strange phenomenon from the sky." Engineer Lin was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he kept muttering, "It's over, it's over."
At this moment, Mou Xuan suddenly said, "Engineer Lin, where is the specific location of the abandoned factory you just mentioned?"
Everyone was stunned. Wasn't the style of painting changed too quickly?
We were just discussing the end of the world, why are we suddenly concerned about abandoned factories now?
Engineer Lin was also confused, and pointed to a point on the map, stammering: "It's... right here, but that place has been abandoned for a long time, it's not very safe..."
"Safe?" Mou Xuan curled his lips into a cold smile, "What I want is unsafety, the more hidden the better." His actions confused everyone. Is he planning to play wilderness survival in the apocalypse?
Suddenly, a man wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, who looked like an outdoor explorer, walked up to Mou Xuan and handed him a USB flash drive: "This is what you want." After saying that, the man turned around and left, as decisively as a gust of wind.
Mou Xuan took the USB drive and was overjoyed.
The USB flash drive contained more detailed geographical information about the mountainous area, including hydrology, geology, vegetation, etc. It was simply a safe house location guide tailor-made for him!
This divine help from heaven is so cool!
"What the hell, what's going on?" The highland real estate developer was confused. "Who is this guy? Why does he look like a secret agent in a movie?"
Others also expressed their confusion and the atmosphere at the scene changed from tension to curiosity.
Mou Xuan ignored them, took the USB drive back to the car, and couldn't wait to open the computer to check it.
"Yaoyao, it seems that we need to change our safe house location plan." Mou Xuan looked at the information on the screen with a mysterious smile on his lips.
Chen Yao nodded.
"Wait!" The Gao Real Estate developer suddenly stopped them, "Are you really going to that abandoned factory? That place is very spooky..."
Mou Xuan did not answer, but just looked at him meaningfully: "For some places, the more weird they are, the safer they are..." Mou Xuan was immersed in the newly obtained site selection information, his mouth corners were almost grinning to his ears, he was simply possessed by the Emperor of Europe!
The high-altitude real estate developer, however, came over with a sour look on his face, his eyes rolling around like a hungry wolf eyeing fat meat.
"Xiao Mou, what's in your USB drive? Can you share it?"
Mou Xuan sneered. This old fox wanted to get something for nothing again.
"Mr. Gao, this is a business secret. I'm sorry I can't tell you."
"Hey, don't be so stingy," the high-rise real estate developer rubbed his hands, his greedy nature exposed, "We are all in this together, and the best way is to make money together." As he said that, he actually reached out to snatch the USB flash drive in Mou Xuan's hand!
"Mr. Gao, aren't you stretching your hand too far?" Mou Xuan dodged quickly, his eyes turning cold instantly.
The air around seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere was tense.
"Boy, don't refuse a toast!" The Gao real estate developer was furious and threatened viciously, "I have the final say on this piece of land. If you know what's best for you, hand it over obediently, otherwise..."
"What if not?" Mou Xuan looked at him fearlessly, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips. "Mr. Gao, you must have forgotten that the development procedures for this piece of land have not been completed yet, right? Illegal occupation of land will result in legal liability."
The highland real estate developer was suddenly speechless and his face turned pale and blue.
He didn't expect that Mou Xuan would actually seize on his weak spot, and was speechless for a moment.
People around also began to whisper and point fingers at the greedy behavior of Gao real estate developers.
"Hmph!" The Gao real estate developer finally left in disgrace. He knew he was in the wrong and continuing to argue would only bring humiliation upon himself.
"Yeah! President Mou is so awesome!" Chen Yao waved his fist excitedly, and others also cheered for Mou Xuan, and the atmosphere became lively again.
However, just as Mou Xuan was about to determine the final site based on the new information, he discovered that there were some unclear points in the information, especially the description of the underground structure, which was vague, as if something was deliberately concealed.
His brows were tightly furrowed, and a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.
"This... what on earth is going on?" Mou Xuan muttered to himself, staring at the mark on the map, an inexplicable chill rising in his heart...
