Zuo Ling shared her concerns with Professor Jin and his wife, telling them to pack their emergency evacuation supplies and take them with them when they left.
In just a few years, the elderly couple aged drastically, sighing heavily with sorrow in their eyes.
They're old and can't run anymore. Sometimes they think it would be better to just die.
Zuo Ling packed up everything she could in the house, but she had to abandon the container to avoid it disappearing into thin air and causing unnecessary trouble.
One day, while everyone was sound asleep, a sharp alarm sounded over the base.
Emergency evacuation alert!
The base set up emergency evacuation assembly points in various locations, and everyone rushed to the assembly points in a panic.
With a screech of brakes, a Jeep pulled up in front of Zuo Ling's house, and He Guiqi jumped out.
"Sister, a sandstorm is coming. I'll take you to the meeting point."
As soon as the alarm sounded, He Guiqi was sent by Yu Lianhai to pick up Professor Jin and his wife, as well as Zuo Ling.
Zuo Ling refused to go with him, saying, "You take Professor Jin and his wife there, we'll run there."
Time was tight, and knowing Zuo Ling's temperament, He Guiqi didn't say much and turned to greet Professor Jin and his wife.
Researcher Tang shouted, "Zuo Ling, hurry up! What are you dawdling for? Get in the car now!"
Zuo Ling called out, "I'll pack up the vegetables. You guys go first, we'll be there shortly."
Professor Jin said irritably, "What time is it? You're still thinking about your little bit of food."
Zuo Ling waved to them, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't worry about us, we can run fast, we'll catch up with you in a bit."
Xiao Hao was quick-witted. He pretended to help Zuo Ling harvest the vegetables, saying, "Grandpa Jin, Grandma Tang, hurry up! We can run fast, we'll catch up with you in a bit."
He Guiqi grew impatient and stepped on the gas, speeding towards the meeting point.
Dust filled the air, the sky darkened, and the sun, which was so intense it could make a person's skin peel, was dimmed by the dust.
Inside the base, people and horses were in a chaotic mess, everyone was rushing around, and no one paid attention to what others were doing.
Judging from the thickness of the sandstorm in the distance, the entire base was doomed to be buried.
Zuo Ling is a miser and can't bear to part with the container house that she spent so much effort renovating.
With a wave of his hand, he sent the container house into the space, leaving behind two containers that had been converted from waste containers, just for show.
The three people and two animals turned and ran towards the base gate, which was no longer guarded. A line of heavy military trucks sped away from the base.
The family of five left the base safely. Since they were too close to the base, Zuo Ling couldn't take the car out, so she had to drive further away.
They deliberately drove to sparsely populated areas, running for more than half an hour until there was no one around. Just as Zuo Ling was about to take out the car, Pei Nansheng stopped her, saying with a serious expression, "Wait."
In the distance, a dozen or so sand pillars of varying sizes, reaching to the sky and crashing down, swirled and rushed toward them. In front of them, large swarms of unidentified black creatures writhed.
Zuo Ling was alarmed; it was a scorpion, and there might be other poisonous insects as well.
Pei Nansheng shouted, "Come out! You've been following me all this way, aren't you going to come out and say hello?"
Was she being followed? Zuo Ling sensed it carefully.
One of them chuckled: "Pei Nansheng, we've been looking for you for ages. It's all thanks to the heavens. If you hadn't left the base, we wouldn't have been able to go in and arrest you."
The speaker was like smoke or mist, as if shrouded in a white veil, ethereal and uncertain.
It's actually a superhuman! No wonder she didn't sense it. Zuo Ling hasn't seen many superhumans, so she couldn't tell what kind of superhuman this person had.
As he spoke, three more people appeared: three men and one woman.
Pei Nansheng raised his voice: "They actually sent out the four sons of the Ding family. Second Uncle, that's quite a move."
He introduced each of them to Zuo Ling one by one: "Wind ability, Ding Youren; animal ability, Ding Yougao; animal ability, Ding Youyi; plant ability, Ding Youyan."
Judging from their names alone, the four of them are of the same generation as Ding Youdao, but they are much younger.
Ding Youren had a gentle smile and presented himself as a refined gentleman.
"Second Uncle can't be ordered around. We're here on the elder's orders to take the three of you back. If you know what's good for you, we'll save our energy. If you don't... humph!"
His voice was like mist and illusion; even when he spoke threats, it still sounded refreshing and pleasant to the ear.
Pei Nansheng ignored his reply and instead said to the distance:
"Who are the other four friends? Why don't you come out and let's get to know them?"
Zuo Ling's eyebrows twitched. There were still four people!
A hoarse voice, clicking its tongue twice:
"The little brat is quite perceptive, knowing we're here. Come out, all of you, let's meet him."
Four people appeared, one old man and three young men, the eight of them each occupying a different position, forming an encirclement.
Zuo Ling was shocked. Her five senses were different from ordinary people. After the four sons of the Ding family appeared, she carefully sensed them but did not find that there were other people hiding nearby.
Those who came all possess superpowers; things won't end well today.
Pei Nansheng cupped his hands in greeting to the old man: "Who are you, senior? Why are you making things difficult for my brother and me?"
The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of large, yellow teeth, and cackled:
"Making things difficult for you siblings? Heh, this old man would like to ask you, why did you launch a sneak attack on my Jin family?"
The Jin family! Pei Nansheng's heart sank to the bottom. Two against eight, without Xiao Hao, they could still put up a fight, but with Xiao Hao in the mix, how could they possibly escape?
"Senior is joking. When have my siblings and I ever attacked the Jin family? Could it be that you have mistaken us for someone else?"
Unless caught red-handed, they must never admit to attacking the Kim family.
The old man sneered:
"You little brat, you tried to outsmart this old man! You planted the locator for Spider-Man in the Ding family's place, didn't you? You're quite clever, knowing how to shift the blame. It's a pity you didn't plant it sooner or later. You just happened to be the one to be targeted, right when the Ding family was in turmoil and all three of you siblings disappeared at the same time. It's too much of a coincidence. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"
