Nangong Yu and the others were waiting in the hall. When they saw Xu Yuehuai return, they waved to her and said, "Senior Sister, you've finally arrived! You have no idea what we heard here just now."
Xu Yuehuai was ushered to the center and sat down. She looked at the people next to her, raised her eyebrows, and gestured for them to continue. Nangong Yu glanced around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to their situation, cautiously said, "This is a man-made thing. They say there's a big shot behind it who wants to destroy the second floor. Cangwu City is just the beginning; it's a place they're using for experiments. When this can be achieved on a large scale to a certain extent, that will be our death day!"
Nangong Yu spoke with this terrifying expression, hoping to make Xu Yuehuai look scared and worried. However, Xu Yuehuai only frowned and then asked, "Why Cangwu City?"
This is something Xu Yuehuai doesn't understand. She doesn't doubt the authenticity of this matter. Everything has a reason behind it. Since they can hear these words, either someone is doing it deliberately, trying to do something with these rumors, or this matter is most likely true.
Nangong Yu glanced at Xu Yuehuai with surprise and some doubt, "Cangwu City is the closest city to the ruins. People on the first floor must pass through Cangwu City first if they want to come down, so it is naturally the first target."
"Senior Sister, it's obvious you weren't listening to me properly before," Nangong Yu said, feigning anger.
Shangguan Xi watched from the side, occasionally interjecting. She felt that their relationship seemed to have improved a lot since she left, which was her most direct feeling. If she didn't want to join in, she would not be able to fit into their atmosphere at all.
A long time ago, they were all the same, and there was a feeling of unfamiliarity among them. But now they have completely changed, and this is the way Shangguan Xi wanted to see in the beginning.
For some reason, seeing this scene suddenly made her feel inexplicably sad, and the emotion arose without her knowing why.
Xu Yuehuai awkwardly touched her nose, "I was busy and didn't notice."
It can be summarized in just a few words.
But she really didn't expect that the ruins were so close to Cangwu City. Could the disappearance of the Sheng family also be related to Cangwu City?
Xu Yuehuai pondered in his heart as the group discussed what to do next. The current situation was far beyond their expectations. In the previous missions, they had gone to remote and sparsely populated places. Now, with so many more people, everyone was still a little unsure how to deal with the situation.
As the team leader, Shangguan Xi wanted to take on the responsibilities he should have, but when he wanted to speak, he found that he had no idea what to do, and his desire to speak was unconsciously put to rest.
The lobby was crowded and noisy, and after a few words, everyone decided to go back to their rooms first.
They were able to stay in this room entirely because of their own abilities. Nangong Yu had arranged everything before they arrived, so there was no need for them to squeeze into the crowd.
Shi Mu watched from the side with eyes full of envy. It's so good to have power and influence!
Upon entering the room, the surroundings fell silent. The group exchanged bewildered glances. "We still don't know what's going on over there, but according to the latest information I've gathered, the area south of the city has been sealed off. There's a barrier around it, and until the danger is over, it's a no-go zone."
Shangguan Xi finally felt that she had contributed something and was of some use in this part. She radiated a kind of brilliance. Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, she continued, "So if we go in, there will be no chance to retreat. Everyone should think it over. If you don't want to go in, we won't force you. You can meet up with us outside."
As a member of a large family, Shangguan Xi had his own considerations. There would always be people who wouldn't take the risk, not because they were unwilling, but because the people and forces behind him wouldn't allow them to go.
Nangong Yu was a typical example, or rather, Shangguan Xi's words were meant for Nangong Yu. In this group, only Nangong Yu had the backing of a powerful family. Within the Nangong family, he was the eldest grandson who was highly valued. He couldn't afford any accidents to happen to him. Seeing everyone looking at him, Nangong Yu felt strange. He turned to look at the others and said, "Why are you all looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
As he spoke, Nangong Yu reached out and touched his face. When he saw Shangguan Xi looking at him with a serious expression, he immediately understood what she meant. He chuckled and said, "I can do whatever I want. I have no such concerns, and I never will. Besides, you've all gone in. What do you mean by leaving me out here alone? Don't you want me to make a name for myself?"
Nangong Yu has a very good personality. When Xu Yuehuai first met him, she thought he was not talkative and not good at communicating. But after getting to know him, she realized that it was all just a disguise he made for himself.
Furthermore, when he first saw Xu Yuehuai, he admired him greatly. In front of someone he had a slight liking for, he naturally wanted to maintain his image, pretending to be someone unapproachable, a noble and pure white flower atop a mountain peak.
Shangguan Xi looked at him and scoffed, "You'd better think this through. If something happens to you inside and the Nangong family comes knocking, we won't be able to fight them. Make sure you're sure before you speak, otherwise everything you say will be just empty talk."
Unlike the previous two times, they were unaware of the danger this time. The previous two times, they were unaware of the danger, but this time, the danger was right in front of them, like a fire pit in front of them, with no idea what was on the other side.
They might jump into another fire pit, or they might walk on a thorny path, or they might walk on a smooth path as if on flat ground.
At the moment they make their choice, they must be prepared to die there.
Nangong Yu looked at them, crossed her arms, and gave Shangguan Xi a resentful look. "You're showing distrust and suspicion towards me. Besides, there are so many people inside. Even if just a few of us can't get out, I don't believe that we can't solve this problem if we all work together!"
Nangong Yu is currently in a state of high morale.
Since Nangong Yu had no objections, everyone else was fine with it, especially Xu Yuehuai, who was eager to leave and wanted to get to the first floor as quickly as possible.
For something like this to happen in the south of the city, perhaps this place has something special about it that makes it so unique.
