Luo Yuan came back a few minutes later, his face a little ugly. He searched the entire community and found nothing.
"Did you see a person standing there just now?" Luo Yuan asked everyone.
"I didn't see it. I was just looking at the boss." Sun Xiaowu said embarrassedly.
Others also shook their heads.
"Boss, are you wrong?" Huo Dong said cautiously, feeling nervous.
Could it be that he really saw it wrong? Luo Yuan was also a little unsure. He just had a blur in front of his eyes, and then the figure disappeared. You must know that his agility is up to thirteen points, which is three times that of ordinary people. If you want to deceive his eyes, you have to reach supersonic speed. Okay, but in fact there was no movement just now.
At this time, Luo Yuan suddenly remembered the inexplicable heart palpitations in the middle of the night yesterday, and his face became solemn. It might have been an hallucination once, but it was a bit weird to happen twice in a short period of time.
"Maybe I really saw it wrong." Luo Yuan said calmly. Telling ordinary people like them this kind of thing would not help except increase panic and cause trouble for him. Rather than doing this, it would be better not to let them know.
Luo Yuan did not continue to practice swordsmanship, but stayed in the villa to recharge his batteries. During this period, he told Huang Jiahui to be vigilant and to fire a warning shot if something went wrong. After that, he went out twice more, but still found nothing.
For the last time, he carefully searched Jingyue Community. He even checked every apartment in several dilapidated buildings. What chilled him was that he searched the entire community and found no one. Not even the bodies of the survivors were found.
The furnishings in many houses are well preserved and neat. It doesn't look like the owner of the house left in a hurry. Even important materials such as food were abandoned here.
This is definitely not normal, and the entire community has a hint of weirdness.
Back at the villa, Cao Lin avoided everyone, walked over with an anxious expression, and whispered: "Have you seen Ning Xiaoran?"
Luo Yuan thumped and his face changed: "What's wrong?"
"I don't know what happened. She was here just now. I asked Xiaoran to take out the garbage in the kitchen before, but now I have been waiting for nearly half an hour and she hasn't come back yet. You just came back from outside. Have you seen her? ?”
"Have you searched in the room?" Luo Yuan said calmly.
"I've searched every corner, even the basement, but still can't find it. It's so dangerous outside, Ning Xiaoran won't go outside!" Cao Lin said anxiously, with a trace of fear on her face. .
"You didn't tell anyone else, did you?" Luo Yuan asked.
Cao Lin hesitated for a moment, then solemnly said: "Not yet, I can't let others take risks for the sake of Ning Xiaoran's life!"
After all, people like him are still outsiders, and in this man's mind, they are far less important than being close to his own woman. If the news is spread, if Master Huang Jiahui and Wang are impulsive and go to look for someone outside, it is safe to say that everything is safe. If something goes wrong, they will all be blamed. Even if they are not pursued, there will always be a thorn in their hearts afterwards. .
Sure enough, Luo Yuan nodded, with obvious appreciation in his eyes: "You did a good job."
"Don't tell anyone about this, so as not to cause panic. I'm going to look for someone outside now." Luo Yuan picked up the knife and stood up.
"Is Ning Xiaoran not in danger?" Cao Lin asked worriedly.
Luo Yuan said nothing, turned around and walked quickly outside.
…
On a rainy day, the sky got darker faster than at other times. Before five o'clock, it was already getting dark outside.
"Ning Xiaoran!"
"Ning Xiaoran, where are you?"
Luo Yuan shouted as he walked. There was mud and water all over the ground. If you step on it, it will soon be filled with mud and water. You can't even find a footprint. Although the community is not big, it is 50,000 to 60,000 square meters, and there are everywhere in the middle. It is obscured by buildings and plants and cannot be seen at a glance.
After a confused search like this, no one could be found in a short period of time. In fact, he had no hope at all at this time. He was very aware of the danger outside. It had been half an hour since Ning Xiaoran had disappeared. It was already a miracle that he could find some traces of the body now.
All we can do now is do our best and obey fate!
Luo Yuan searched for more than ten minutes but still couldn't find it. He was about to give up when he saw a shoe stuck in the mud.
This is a women's sneaker. It looks like it has just been sunk in. The mud and water around it are still very fresh. Luo Yuan looks vaguely familiar.
"It belongs to Ning Xiaoran!"
He was startled and raised his head. There were faint traces of walking on the grass in front of his shoes. She had obviously walked directly through the grass.
Luo Yuan didn't expect that this girl who was usually quiet and shy to speak would be so bold. Doesn't she know that there are mutant creatures everywhere in the grass
The rain got heavier and the sky was filled with thunder.
A hazy curtain of rain formed in the distance. Luo Yuan walked quickly along the traces of grass. When he rounded a dangerous building, his eyes lit up.
In the rain curtain, a figure wearing a beige coat was walking forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
She staggered on her steps and fell to the ground several times, but she quickly stood up awkwardly and continued walking forward.
Luo Yuan's pace quickened, and he had already rushed behind her in a few breaths, holding the handle of the knife tightly with his hand. In fact, he already felt that something was wrong. A woman with no strength had been staying outside for half an hour. Except for falling down several times, he was still safe. There was something strange about this matter.
"Ning Xiaoran, where are you going?"
Ning Xiaoran seemed not to hear and continued to stagger forward.
Luo Yuan's heart tightened and he held the handle of the knife tightly with his hand.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was completely dark. Lightnings exploded in the sky one after another, and the sky became bright and dark.
Luo Yuan followed a few steps and decided not to continue the stalemate. There was something strange everywhere here, and Luo Yuan could already smell a strong sense of crisis. If there is another danger in the villa when he is not around, it will be too late to regret.
He walked quickly to her and saw that Ning Xiaoran's expression was dull and his eyes were lifeless. Even when he was standing in front of Luo Yuan, he seemed to be completely unaware.
This was definitely not an expression that a normal person should have. Luo Yuan's expression turned cold and he slowly drew out his saber.
As Ning Xiaoran approached, the murderous intention in his heart became more and more intense, and a terrifying aura emanated from him. The raindrops seemed to pause slightly in the air, and even the surrounding air became restless. There was a commotion under the grass, as if boiling water was boiling. Countless low-level mutant beasts seemed to feel death coming and ran wildly. Looking past, long green marks in the grass quickly disappeared into the distance, as if countless arrows were shot in all directions at once.
Just when Luo Yuan was preparing to strike with thunder, under this momentum, Ning Xiaoran's face suddenly twitched and her eyes kept rolling.
With the sound of "嘤咛", her eyes gradually returned to life. She seemed to be a little dazed, but they were much more normal than before.
Luo Yuan restrained his momentum, but did not dare to relax. He stared at her closely, ready to take action immediately if there was any sign that something was wrong.
"Ah! Brother Luo?" Ning Xiaoran seemed to wake up from a dream, looking at Luo Yuan in surprise, and turned red in the middle of the sentence.
Then she finally noticed her surroundings and said nervously: "Ah! I... why am I outside?"
"Don't you know you came here alone?" Luo Yuan asked in surprise.
"Am I alone?" Ning Xiaoran opened her mouth wide.
"You've been out for half an hour. If I hadn't come to find you, I'm afraid you would have been bitten to death by the mutated beast. Think carefully about how you got here." Luo Yuan asked. If he didn't figure this out for a day, he would I can't rest at ease for a day.
Ning Xiaoran was so frightened that she almost cried. Frightened and cold, her body shook like a frightened quail: "I... I don't know, I don't know how I got here."
"Calm down first and think about it carefully. What were you doing before?" Luo Yuan reminded.
"I... I seemed to go to throw away the garbage. I originally threw it at the door, but then I thought that throwing it at the door was not... not good. There is no danger in taking a few more steps... and then... I can't remember what happened next." Ning Xiaoran stammered.
Luo Yuan's heart sank, this thing was too bizarre.
Seeing Ning Xiaoran's body trembling non-stop, he didn't rush to think about this matter, so he said: "It's not too late, go back first, think about it carefully later, but don't tell others about this matter first. ”
"I...I know!" Ning Xiaoran nodded repeatedly and looked around nervously, feeling terrified in his heart.
Luo Yuan turned around and walked back. Ning Xiaoran quickly followed. After hesitating for a moment, he mustered up the courage to carefully grab Luo Yuan's clothes, his face turned red.
Ten minutes later, the two returned to the villa.
Food was already placed on the table, but Luo Yuan didn't come back, and no one ate first. They all sat on the sofa and chatted. When they saw Luo Yuan come back, they all stood up.
"Why did Ning Xiaoran follow him outside? I asked him where he was just now?" Huang Jiahui said in surprise, but her face was a little ugly, and she held the corners of her clothes tightly with her hands. Seeing the two people coming in almost cuddling together, it was obvious that they had other things in mind.
Master Wang even snorted twice and looked elsewhere.
"We'll talk about this later. Don't be busy eating now. Jiahui, go find some clothes for Ning Xiaoran to change into. Cao Lin, go to the kitchen and make some ginger soup. Is there any ginger in the kitchen?" Luo Yuan ordered.
Cao Lin quickly stood up: "Yes, yes!"
Huang Jiahui saw that Ning Xiaoran's lips were purple, obviously from the cold, so she didn't care about her discomfort and hurriedly went to get clothes.
Zhao Gang touched Jin Meili, she glared at Zhao Gang and stood up reluctantly: "Do you want a bath towel?"
When Zhao Gang saw this, he was really speechless to his wife. She didn't know how to behave at all. Do you still need to ask about this kind of thing? Do you even need to ask? Just a little glance and you'll know what to do.
After seeing Luo Yuan nodding, Jin Meili ran towards the bathroom and handed it to Luo Yuan with a low eyebrow.
Luo Yuan waved his hand: "To Ning Xiaoran!"
Wang Shishi snorted again when he saw this, his lungs exploded with anger, and his heart felt sour, as if someone had taken away his favorite toy, but Luo Yuan was not in the mood to pay attention to Wang Shishi at this time, and kept thinking about Ning Xiaoran's consciousness* *manipulative things.
At this time, the system prompts suddenly sounded in my mind: "E-level mission, find and eliminate the reasons for the missing people in Jingyue Community, three days. Cancel/Confirm."
Luo Yuan paused, and it turned out just as he thought, there was something wrong.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel relieved. The E-level mission meant that there should be a blue-level mutant beast behind this mission. He had already killed several such mutant beasts.
Even though it's not easy to complete, it won't make you feel hopeless. As long as you're careful, it shouldn't be a big deal.
It's no wonder that there is no other high-level mutant beast occupying such a large territory here. It turns out that one is already occupied here.
But the only question is, where is this mutant beast
He had searched almost every corner of Jingyue Community before, but found nothing, not even a trace. Thinking of this, he had a headache again. The biggest difficulty in this mission is obviously to find the opponent. If the opponent never appears, it means the mission will fail.
Luo Yuan accepted the task without thinking. Compared with other sites occupied by the Deep Blue Class, this place is undoubtedly the safest. If you can't survive in a place like this, how can you survive in the apocalypse
The clothes were brought, Ning Xiaoran changed them and drank another bowl of ginger soup. She broke out in a hot sweat and her face finally turned rosy. It looked like she wouldn't catch a cold anymore.
The atmosphere during the meal was a bit dull. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Ning Xiaoran's outing this time was definitely not normal, but they wisely did not ask any more questions.
After dinner, Luo Yuan lit a cigarette, was silent for a while, and said somewhat cryptically: "Everyone, be careful tonight!"
Although Luo Yuan didn't say it clearly, the underlying meaning made everyone start to feel frightened and their expressions changed.
Cao Lin pretended to be calm, but the paleness on her face reflected the fear in her heart. She remembered the problem of Ning Xiaoran's sudden disappearance, and couldn't help but glance at Ning Xiaoran, but she didn't get any answer.
The only one who can truly remain calm is Huang Jiahui.
Looking at the performance of others, Luo Yuan sighed in his heart, but he didn't blame them. They were just ordinary people. Without strength, they would have no confidence. If Luo Yuan didn't have a system, he would probably be similar to them. At least Huang Jiahui was a criminal police officer before. After getting together with Luo Yuan, she became accustomed to various scenes and struggled to survive several life and death situations.
