The bus ran amok for a while and suddenly stopped. Screams of terror kept coming out of the bus. Through the large windows, one could see burning flames and struggling passengers. The scene was in chaos.

Seeing the bus stop, people nearby rushed over and pounded on the doors and windows desperately, trying to rescue the people.

Bai Ling's face turned pale, and she looked at Lan Ke for help: "Shall we go and help too?"

Lan Ke took out a few one-yuan coins from her pocket, and taking advantage of the chaos in the crowd, she suddenly waved her hand and threw the coins out.

A small coin hit the car window, and with a few "bang bang bang" sounds, the intact window suddenly exploded, revealing a wide escape hatch.

When the people outside the car saw the window exploded, they quickly shouted to alert the panicked passengers in the car: "Quick! Climb out of the window!"

Cold wind continued to pour into the car, and the fire instantly shrank a lot. Black smoke billowed out, and the situation in the car became even more chaotic. Except for Lan Ke, no one saw that a hideous-looking alien was biting the passengers in the car.

Lan Ke took out another one-yuan coin and was about to throw it out again, but a green light flashed by, and the bean sprout that had been hidden in her sleeve suddenly shot towards the alien in the car.

Lan Ke narrowed her eyes, moved her fingers, and put the one-yuan coin back.

Bai Ling, who was standing beside her, widened her eyes in astonishment. Was she just blind? Otherwise, how could she see Lan Ke smashing the car window with a coin? Is this world magical? Oh, no, what was that green light just now? This world is indeed magical!

Thinking of the terrible experience a few days ago, Bai Ling's face turned pale instantly. God knows, since that day, she never dared to sleep in that bed again!

At this moment, the small green light flashed again and quickly drilled back into Lan Ke's sleeve. Lan Ke looked into the car and saw that the alien was dead. The passengers in the car were no longer as panicked as before. Someone opened the door, making it easier to rescue.

"Let's go." Lan Ke didn't look any more, turned around and walked across the street.

Bai Ling hesitated for a moment, then saw a police car approaching in the distance, and quickly quickened her pace to catch up with Lan Ke. She carefully looked at Lan Ke's face and asked tentatively: "Lan... Lan Ke, what happened just now? It's so cold, how could the car catch fire?"

In fact, she wanted to ask about the coins, but when she saw Lan Ke’s cold face, she became intimidated and didn’t have the courage to ask.

"Aren't you going to buy food?" Lan Ke gave her a cold look, "It will only get worse in the future, so just wish yourself the best."

Bai Ling's heart was pounding. She felt that Lan Ke knew something, but she didn't dare to ask directly, so she asked tactfully, "Is what they said on the Internet true?"

Lan Ke did not answer, but walked into the supermarket quickly. Bai Ling looked at her hurried steps and hurriedly trotted to catch up, but she became more and more flustered, feeling that something big was going to happen.

The two entered the supermarket, but Lan Ke did not buy anything. Instead, she looked at the customers in the supermarket coldly. Perhaps it was because it was close to the end of the year, or perhaps because she was frightened by the incident a few days ago, there were still many customers in the supermarket, but most of them were elderly people. The young people must have gone to work.

Lan Ke and Bai Ling, two young girls, looked a bit out of place inside, but no one cared to look at them. Bai Ling pushed the supermarket shopping cart and kept picking up products and throwing them in. Seeing that Lan Ke didn't buy anything, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Aren't you buying anything?"

"I have no money." Lan Ke was not lying, she had almost used up all her money.

“Uh…” Bai Ling was dumbfounded. It was the first time she heard someone say “I have no money” so confidently.

But she didn't ask anything, she just always bought a few more portions when buying food, intending to give them to Lan Ke. Lan Ke didn't notice her little action, her attention was all on other customers. But until she paid, she didn't see any trace of the alien.

After shopping, I left the supermarket. The bus that caused the chaos was still parked on the side of the road. The fire had been put out and it looked dark. There were no signs of injured people nearby, so they must have been sent to the hospital.

Lan Ke shook her head secretly. The chance of infection for these injured people was 100%, and most of them would turn into alien species. The hospital might be in danger.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing was not something she could control, so she just frowned and said nothing.

When Lan Ke returned to his residence, he was about to put the bag in his hand at Bai Ling's door, but Bai Ling suddenly said, "Ah, you can take these. I can't eat so much."

Lan Ke looked at the strange female neighbor in surprise: "You want to give it to me?"

"Yes!" Bai Ling smiled and said as a matter of course, "Thanks to you for saving me before, I haven't had time to thank you. I can't finish these anyway, so just consider it as helping me."

Lan Ke looked at her in surprise, and a rare warmth rose in her heart. She had just saved someone for no reason, but this person had always remembered it and even bought food for her because she had no money.

Lan Ke's mood improved, so she returned the favor and reminded him, "How much money do you have left? If you trust me, exchange them all for food today, otherwise it will be too late."

"So urgent?" Bai Ling's face changed, and after hesitating for a moment, she said, "I'll leave these at home first. Can you accompany me later? I can drive!"

Since I have to exchange all my money for food, the supermarket is not suitable.

Lan Ke was a little surprised. She just gave a kind reminder and didn't expect Bai Ling to believe it. Who knew that not only did she believe it, but she also took action!

It's rare to meet a nice person. Lan Ke suddenly didn't want Bai Ling to die like this, so she nodded: "I can accompany you." It just so happened that she also wanted to look around to see what the situation was like outside.

The black rain has been falling for three days in a row, and the alien species should have appeared long ago, but they just haven't erupted yet. I just don't know how many people with special abilities have awakened so far.

After casually putting the bag in Bai Ling's house, the two took the elevator downstairs again. But this time, Bai Ling took Lan Ke directly to the garage. Lan Ke was shocked again when she saw the car. Bai Ling looked so weak and the car she bought was actually an off-road vehicle with a domineering appearance, which was really inconsistent.

But Lan Ke said nothing and got into the car. Bai Ling instinctively turned on the navigation system, but found that it didn't work at all. She was stunned: "What's going on? Why can't the navigation system be used? Is it because it has not been used for a long time and it is broken?"

"Don't you know that you can't use navigation on New Year's Day?" Lan Ke looked at Bai Ling suspiciously. How long has it been since this person last drove

"Ahem, so that's how it is." Bai Ling coughed awkwardly and frowned worriedly, "What should I do? I don't know the way?"

Lan Ke looked helpless: "I'll drive it."

The two of them quickly changed positions. Lan Ke started the car quickly and drove out, but saw a shadow flash by in the rearview mirror.
