Views:

Sensing the presence of the alien, Lan Ke looked at Bai Ling calmly and gently pulled her clothes. Bai Ling paused and instinctively looked at Lan Ke, but wisely did not speak.

Anyway, she just needs to follow Lan Ke and do whatever Lan Ke tells her to do.

The two were walking at the back, and their movements were small, so the people in front didn't notice. However, Chen Wen happened to be walking on the other side of Bai Ling, and had been paying attention to the two's movements, and happened to see this scene.

She rolled her eyes and immediately asked, "What are you guys talking about? Did you find something?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone in front heard it.

Tang Jingtian was walking in the middle. He turned around immediately after hearing this and looked at Lan Ke, Bai Ling and Chen Wen with scrutiny. Although Lan Ke was his daughter, the two were not close at all. Chen Wen had been his secretary for a year, so Tang Jingtian trusted her more.

Tang Jingtian then subconsciously believed Chen Wen's words and looked at Lan Ke unhappily: "What's going on?"

Lan Ke glanced at Chen Wen coldly, and in her heart she gave this trouble-making woman a big cross, but she said, "This fog is too thick, can't I be afraid? Who knows if there are monsters hiding in it?"

Tang Jingtian believed it as soon as he heard it. In his eyes, Lan Ke was just a little girl who had just reached adulthood not long ago. How brave could she be

Thinking of this, he glanced at Chen Wen with annoyance and warned in a deep voice: "Secretary Chen, walk carefully and don't be startled all the time."

No one saw a flash of green light in the thick fog.

"Meow!"

Suddenly, a shrill cat cry came from the thick fog. The sound was so sharp that it made people's eardrums tremble and even their consciousness became chaotic.

Including the two bodyguards, everyone's face looked bad. Chen Wen was so frightened that she left Bai Ling and rushed to Tang Jingtian, grabbing his arm tightly for protection: "Boss... Boss... So scary..."

"Shut up!" Although Tang Jingtian usually liked to pretend to be gentle and affectionate, he had no intention of coaxing a female secretary at this critical moment. He looked at Chen Wen with a gloomy face and warned in a low voice, "If you dare to speak again, I will leave you here alone!"

Chen Wen didn't expect Tang Jingtian to treat her like this. She had been Tang Jingtian's secretary for a year and always thought that Tang Jingtian was handsome, gentle, and rich. He was simply a rare good man in the world. After getting to know him for a long time, she had some ambitions in her heart and wanted to kick Chu Jia away and replace him.

But when she saw Tang Jingtian's gloomy face, she suddenly became scared, and her face turned extremely pale. However, she deliberately put on makeup before going out, and put on blush on her face, so it was not easy to see.

Tang Jingtian warned Chen Wen but did not push her away. He still had the idea of pushing Chen Wen away if he encountered danger. Now that Chen Wen ran to him, it made things convenient for him.

So he didn't care about Chen Wen's rudeness.

No one moved, they just looked nervously in the direction where the cat's cry came from, fearing that a monster would run out at the next moment. However, after the cat's cry disappeared, they waited for a long time and found nothing unusual.

Bodyguard Zhang Shan listened carefully and said to Tang Jingtian uncertainly, "Boss, there's no movement. I guess they ran away when they saw how many of us there are."

"Don't worry, let someone go and take a look." Tang Jingtian said this, and suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Ling, "Miss Bai, please go and see what's going on."

In Tang Jingtian's opinion, the two bodyguards must not get into trouble, otherwise who will protect her? The driver and assistant have been with him for many years and can be regarded as his left and right arms, so they must not get into trouble either.

Apart from these people, the only ones left were Secretary Chen Wen, Lan Ke and Bai Ling. Of these three, Chen Wen and Lan Ke were still useful to him, but Bai Ling, whom he had just met, was a complete outsider, not very good-looking and of little value, and could be discarded at any time.

Bai Ling's face changed, and she instinctively looked at Lan Ke. Lan Ke nodded: "Since we are all together, even if it is a temporary team, naturally everyone has to contribute. You go this time, and next time you can let someone else go. Everyone takes turns, and no one suffers."

After saying that, she looked at Tang Jingtian with a half-smile. If you want her people to be cannon fodder to explore the way, then don't blame her for being rude!

Tang Jingtian naturally heard Lan Ke's dissatisfaction, but he had already experienced Lan Ke's sharp tongue, and was in no mood to argue with her at the moment, so he said nothing and pretended that he heard nothing.

The others followed Tang Jingtian's example and pretended not to hear anything.

Lan Ke didn't say anything else. She had plenty of ways to deal with these people anyway, so there was no need to waste time on quarreling.

When Bai Ling saw Lan Ke nod, she guessed that there was no danger, so she walked into the thick fog with a blank expression to check the situation. About a minute later, Bai Ling came back and said, "There is only a cat corpse ahead, no danger."

That being said, she knew that it must have been Lan Ke who did something.

The cat looked very big, but its body was shriveled, as if only a skin was left. It was obvious that it had just encountered something.

Tang Jingtian glanced at Bai Ling and thought that she would not dare to lie, so he ordered them to continue on their way. Soon they saw the cat corpse, but no one dared to look closely. They glanced at it quickly and instinctively looked away, quickening their pace to walk out.

With Douya leading the way, we didn't encounter any trouble on the rest of the road, except that we saw a lot of corpses.

Everyone walked very fast, even Chen Wen, who was wearing high-heeled boots, walked very fast, wishing she could leave this damn place as soon as possible.

After getting out of the community safely, Tang Jingtian's men could no longer bear it and rushed to the nearby convenience stores and restaurants. Unfortunately, the convenience stores and restaurants were all closed.

Fortunately, the cars that were originally blocking the road had already driven away, leaving only seven or eight deformed cars abandoned on the roadside, among which a black Rolls-Royce Phantom LWB was particularly eye-catching.

This car was Tang Jingtian's car, and it had been well maintained, with the body cleaned every day. Unfortunately, it was in bad luck now. There were not only many messy scratches on the black body, but also a broken headlight, and the window had signs of being violently smashed. It looked as miserable as it could be.

Tang Jingtian deserved it. There was a serious traffic jam before, so he just abandoned his car and ran away. The remaining car owners were naturally dissatisfied with such a luxury car blocking the road. Since the owner of the car was not there, didn't he dare to use it to vent his anger

Fortunately, Tang Jingtian installed anti-theft glass to prevent the car window from being smashed, otherwise the car would have been driven away long ago.

When Tang Jingtian saw his beloved car in such a miserable state, his face instantly turned black. However, now was obviously not the time to look for the culprit, so he could only get into the car with a gloomy face and urge the driver to hurry up.
