"Ah! What is that?"

A woman's scream suddenly came from behind the two of them.

That was Li Tianzuo's voice.

Lan Ke instinctively turned her head and saw Li Tianzuo pointing in a direction with a horrified expression.

She walked over quickly and asked as she walked: "What's going on? Xiao Zuo, what did you see just now?"

“No… I don’t know.” Li Tianzuo was still in shock. “Just now there was a huge shadow, it was looking at me, its eyes were shining, I… I was scared.”

Lan Ke looked in the direction Li Tianzuo pointed. There was a greenhouse built with white plastic film. It was slightly transparent, but the things inside could not be seen clearly. Only a blurry shadow could be seen.

Lan Ke asked, "Besides Xiao Zuo, who else saw it?"

Bai Ling, Fang Nan and Feng Li all shook their heads. They were looking in other directions and saw nothing. Only Li Tianyou raised his hand cautiously: "I... I think I saw something. It looked like a dog."

But Li Tianzuo flatly denied it: "It's impossible! It's too big, looks weird, and has scary bright eyes. It can't be a dog!"

If it was a dog, she wouldn't be so scared.

The thing just now gave her a feeling of not only being scary but also dangerous. She felt like it was targeting her.

In its eyes, she was no longer a living person, but a piece of tender meat.

The more Li Tianzuo thought about it, the more terrified she felt, but she held back and did not scream out.

As a girl, she has always been quite brave and has never been scared by insects and cried or screamed. She even never understood why those girls cried or screamed, and thought they were too delicate and pretentious.

It was not until after the end of the world that she truly experienced the fear from the bottom of her heart, and it even seemed as if her entire body was no longer her own and was completely out of control.

While reflecting on himself, Li Tianzuo mustered up the courage to look in the direction he had just been in and carefully looked around.

She was a little conflicted, wanting to find that thing but also afraid it would suddenly appear.

The others were also alert, their eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

After a while, Bai Ling, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Sister Lan, something is wrong! The fog has become thicker! The fog is thicker now than when we first arrived, and it's still changing!"

Lan Ke looked at Bai Ling in surprise: "Are you sure?" She didn't notice the change in the fog at all, but after careful observation, she found that the fog was getting thicker and thicker.

Lan Ke immediately reflected on herself. She was still careless. She thought there would be no danger here, so she was not fully alert. If Bai Ling hadn't reminded her, she would have noticed the change in the fog after a while.

The fog has never dissipated since the end of the world, but it is only thicker in the morning. After that, the fog will become very light and can only be seen from a distance. Once you get close, it is almost invisible.

The fog here is thicker than other places, but not that thick.

So when Lan Ke first arrived, he didn't pay attention to the fog and just thought it was a difference caused by the environment here.

But now, the fog is getting thicker and thicker, which is a bit weird.

In particular, Li Tianzuo and Li Tianyou also saw a suspicious shadow.

Bai Ling said confidently: "The fog has been getting thicker since we arrived. Because it only increases a little bit each time, it doesn't seem obvious."

If she had not had some inspiration in her mind after seeing the mist and paid more attention to the mist, she would not have noticed the changes in the mist.

Lan Ke nodded: "You are right, the fog is indeed changing, there should be something here, everyone be careful."

Lan Ke said as she walked towards the greenhouse where the shadow appeared. She wanted to see what was hidden inside!

There are greenhouses everywhere here, and the white plastic films block the view, so the vision is not wide.

When Lan Ke walked over, Fang Nan and the others hesitated for a moment and then followed her.

They were too embarrassed to just stand there and let Lan Ke solve the problem alone, not to mention that they didn't want to be a useless burden forever.

So even Li Tianzuo, who was still in shock, mustered up the courage to follow. She pulled out the knife from her waist and held it tightly in her hand, hoping to gain more strength and courage.

The handle of the knife was frozen cold, and it felt bone-chillingly cold in my hand, even wearing gloves didn't help.

The mist is also cold. When it hits your face, your eyelashes and eyebrows will soon be covered with crystal water droplets. When the cold wind blows, those crystal water droplets will immediately freeze into ice beads.

Frozen by the cold air, Fang Nan and the others gradually calmed down, and the panic in their hearts seemed to be frozen.

They followed Lan Ke towards the greenhouse. Since the distance was not far, they arrived there quickly.

Lan Ke was walking in front, so she walked in first.

The temperature inside the greenhouse is obviously much higher than outside. Green vegetables are planted neatly inside, and it seems that it is time to harvest.

Lan Ke's eyes lit up. These vegetables were good stuff. She came here today specifically. In addition to wanting soil and tools, she also liked the vegetables here.

Vegetables are extremely scarce after the apocalypse, and these vegetables can be picked and stored. Whether you eat them yourself or trade them in the future, they will be a very good choice.

Thinking of this, Lan Ke immediately checked the balance of her trading point. In the past few days, she had increased the supply of her personal shop. The business was pretty good, and the balance gradually increased, which was just enough to buy a warehouse.

In addition to the warehouse, she also coveted the spiritual fields and spiritual springs, but the prices were too high. With her current balance, she couldn't afford the spiritual springs at all. She could think about the low-grade spiritual fields, but if she bought them, she couldn't buy the warehouse anymore, so she could only continue to covet them.

There are restrictions on warehouses and containers. Although she has taken advantage of the loopholes in terms of the number of portions, the weight limit is still unavoidable.

So Lan Ke felt that her storage space was still too little.

However, what concerned Lan Ke more at this moment was that there was nothing else in this greenhouse except those lush green vegetables.

The terrifying shadow that Li Tianzuo and Li Tianyou talked about was nowhere to be seen.

She used her mental power to sense it, but still found nothing. It was not until she walked to the middle of the greenhouse that she found that the vegetables in one place were crooked, as if something had passed through there.

Lan Ke followed the trace and found a new trace not far away—a hole in the plastic film where it was attached to the ground.

Obviously, something got out from here.

Without saying a word, Lan Ke used the Mo Lin knife to cut a hole in the greenhouse and crawled out.

Then she saw a pair of sparkling eyes.
