In the mist passage.
The chaotic mist surged like a tide.
Jiang Cheng and his two children maintained their shape in the fog and moved forward with difficulty.
Although there was no exit in sight, Jiang Cheng always had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Maybe, the exit has not completely disappeared, maybe, the exit will be opened again.
But no matter how long Jiang Cheng walked forward, he never saw the shadow of the exit, nor noticed any sign that the exit was reopened. On the contrary, the nightmare fog seemed to be out of control, and countless nightmare monsters were emerging from the fog and rushing towards them.
With Jiang Cheng's current strength, he is not afraid of these monsters. But the signs before him showed that Lao Fang was probably dead. Over time, the nightmare fog will eventually collapse. If they cannot escape before then, they will collapse and disappear along with the nightmare fog.
Unable to maintain optimistic hope anymore, Jiang Cheng felt extremely heavy.
As despair slowly emerged in Jiang Cheng's mind, Chu Xueying's beautiful face suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Xue." Jiang Cheng softly called his lover's name, with infinite exhaustion in his voice, "I really want to see you again."
The collapse of the nightmare fog accelerated, and all the visible wishes turned into nothingness. It was as if nothingness had swallowed up the mist, and this swallowing was spreading towards Jiangcheng at an ever-accelerating rate.
There is no way back, nowhere to go.
Jiang Cheng finally stopped his tired steps and stared blankly into the distance. Even if a real person perceives it, it cannot penetrate the fog. He cannot perceive the existence of his lover and can only comfort himself with imagination.
Just when all hope was about to disappear, the sound of a car horn suddenly sounded in the fog of nightmare.
The little madman pointed into the distance and shouted in surprise, "Look!"
Jiang Cheng turned around and looked around. He was surprised to find that a pair of lights penetrated the fog of nightmare and was approaching the crowd quickly.
A real person perceives beyond sight, observing the approaching light directly. What’s coming is not a nightmare monster, but a car! Moreover, he was very familiar with this car. When they were first surrounded by the fog of nightmare, the appearance of this car saved him, Xu Dingjia and others from being swallowed up by the nightmare.
"Could it be that... the person driving the car is..." Jiang Cheng stared ahead in disbelief.
The image of the vehicle became clearer, and Jiang Cheng saw the man in the driver's seat, with a cynical smile, but his eyes concealed a see-through indifference. The person who came was none other than the mysterious man who had saved Jiangcheng in the fog of nightmares, Mu Yexing!
There was only a harsh horn sound, and the car stopped in front of everyone.
"Hello, is this the car you ordered?" Mu Yexing stuck his head out of the car window and said with a playful smile.
The little lunatic's eyes widened, and he could hardly believe what he saw, and shouted, "What the hell! Why are there cars in the nightmare fog?"
"Who said you can't drive in a nightmare." Mu Yexing said with a playful smile, "So, do you want to get in the car? I'm a professional driver!"
Jiang Cheng frowned and stared at the other person. Before, he couldn't see the other person's true identity. Now that he has real-person perception, he still can't detect useful information from the other person. It's as if this person has no past and no future. He only exists at this moment and will disappear completely without leaving any trace in the next second.
"Who are you?" Jiang Cheng asked warily.
Mu Yexing smiled, "Do you have to ask such boring questions every time? If I wanted you to know, I would have told you long ago."
Jiang Cheng was speechless for a moment.
Mu Yexing deliberately kept a straight face and said, "As a friendly reminder, if you don't get in the car, the nightmare fog will completely disappear. When the time comes..."
"I'll get in the car!" Jiang Cheng said, "Take me and these two children with you."
"Okay, please be welcome!" Mu Yexing spoke with a bad Beijing accent, and the car door opened in response.
Jiang Cheng sat in the back seat with the two hesitant children. He looked back out the window. The void had almost swallowed up the nightmare fog, and it was already in front of everyone. In just one more second, Jiangcheng will be annihilated together with the nightmare fog.
Seeing this scene, the three of them felt uneasy.
Mu Yexing, as if he couldn't see the existence of the void, shouted excitedly, "Dear passengers, please pay attention, this veteran driver is about to drive!"
Amidst the harsh sound of wheels scraping the ground, a strong pushing sensation came over me. Jiang Cheng and the two children were caught off guard and leaned back suddenly, firmly embedded in the back seat.
Outside the car window, the scenery receded rapidly, gradually becoming blurry and indistinguishable.
Looking ahead, a huge darkness rushed towards them. The two children were so frightened that they screamed. ,
The next second, the darkness disappeared and the outside of the car lit up.
The light outside is not dazzling, and the sky is covered with clouds, giving people a depressing but familiar feeling.
"We're out!" Jiang Cheng couldn't help but say when he realized that it was Yilin City outside.
Mu Yexing also stopped the car at this time and said, "Since you have reached your destination, please give me a five-star review, dear."
The two children couldn't wait to get out of the car, found a corner and vomited wildly. Jiang Cheng's physical fitness was good, so it didn't have any impact. He was still sitting in the car, staring at the eyes in the rearview mirror, and said in a deep voice, "What is your purpose?"
"What purpose?" Mu Yexing asked knowingly.
Jiang Cheng said, "You once said that the next time we meet will be when the transaction is official. So, what do you want?"
"You still remember." Mu Yexing smiled and said, "Indeed, this time it's time to get down to business. But, it's not now."
"Not now?" Jiang Cheng asked, "When was that?"
"Passenger, it's time for you to get off the bus." Mu Yexing avoided answering.
The other party didn't want to say it, and Jiang Cheng couldn't force him. After all, so far, Mu Yexing had not shown any hostility. This also means that the other party is probably not an enemy. Of course, this is only possible.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's hesitation, Mu Yexing added, "Did you forget something?"
Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered that Chu Xueying was still waiting for him in the lunatic asylum. Due to his sensitivity to time, he can accurately feel it even without a watch or other tools to tell time. Now, it is already the seventh day since Chu Xueying was infected by the ashes of Guixu. After today, Chu Xueying will completely become a minion of the ancient god.
Thinking that the matter was urgent, Jiang Cheng finally gave up asking and walked out of the car.
"Then, let's meet at the finish line." Mu Yexing waved to Jiangcheng, started the car, and disappeared from sight in a blink of an eye.
"The end point?" Jiang Cheng murmured, "What is he referring to?"
Just as he was wondering, the two children had almost vomited and walked back to him exhausted.
Ren Zhifei frowned and looked around, and asked doubtfully, "Where are we now?"
After being reminded by Ren Zhifei, Jiang Cheng came back to his senses and looked around.
Just don't look at it. After looking at the surrounding scenery, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be shocked.
The surrounding area was desolate, with collapsed houses as far as the eye could see. There were still fires burning in the ruins of some houses, and plumes of smoke were rising and swaying in the wind. There are various signs that a terrible disaster has just occurred here.
"Could it be that this is the threat mentioned in the city's consciousness?" Jiang Cheng was surprised, "What exactly does that threat refer to?"
At this time, a strange sound suddenly came from under the ruins not far away.
Jiang Cheng shouted warily, "Who is there!"
