The next day, the first thing You Xi did when she woke up was to open the curtains.

This was the first time she woke up in the floating state of the whole house after she moved into the villa. She was in the mid-air bedroom in the mountains and fields, which was always different from the bedroom on the large flat floor. It was a bit curious.

In order to put safety first, the entire villa has not opened large windows. Only the windows in the south-facing master bedroom of Youxi are slightly larger, so the view will be better. The dark-shaded floor-to-ceiling curtains are opened, and it is another sunny and good weather outside.

From her height, the resort shelter at the foot of the mountain, the lake next to it, and the lush mountains and fields are all in sight.

She opened the window and the mountain breeze blew on her face, and the fresh smell of plants was mixed with a faint smell of rust.

Since the appearance of "Red Lotus", the air always has this smell. The steel cement and... people that are crushed by the "sharp teeth" will cause the air to be stained with such a rust smell.

The former is really iron, while the latter is the smell of blood.

But here and there, this smell is much lighter than in the urban area, and ordinary people can't smell it at all. She often deliberately restrains her sense of smell.

You Xi held the window frame and looked away for a while, then lowered her head to look at the yard of the villa.

The black iron fence door of the yard was still open, and the people who were still in the yard before she went upstairs last night were no longer there.

The temperature in the mountains was even lower at night. These people rushed to escape and were not equipped so well with their equipment. They probably couldn't last the whole night without thick clothes. She also expected that they would leave.

You Xi closed the window, after washing up, changed into a soft and comfortable velvet sweatshirt cover, and then went downstairs.

Downstairs, Hei Mu had already prepared breakfast. In the living room next to him, Yan Shang and Xi Yuan were doing physical training this morning under the guidance of Jian Shou.

All five people in the family got up earlier than her.

Now Heimu is taking care of her. She opens her mouth and clothes every day. Not to mention cooking, washing dishes and cleaning herself like before, even if the clothes she changed, Heimu will take them away as quickly as possible, put them in different washing machines in different categories, wash and dry them, then disinfect them with ultraviolet rays, and finally stack them neatly in the drawer in her bedroom, or iron them flatly and hang them in the wardrobe.

Such a life is not like a high-end end. She is really afraid that she will live here for a year before leaving, and will be completely unaccustomed to going to other worlds in the future.

Today’s breakfast was a freshly wrapped bubble wonton with a chicken soup base. The chicken soup that was cooked overnight was thick but not greasy and delicious. He also took out the whole chicken, tore the chicken into fine shredded chicken, and then spread it on top of the wontons, and finally put chopped green onions.

Even though she had a monotonous breakfast, he also fryed some vegetable potato cakes and seafood cakes for her to eat.

Youxi thought today would be a peaceful and peaceful day, but after lunch, many people came up from the foot of the mountain.

They surrounded them and went straight into the villa yard, checked the yard, and then looked around outside the wall. Finally, someone pressed the call button of the yard door bell again.

You Xi had already heard their conversation while searching inside and outside the courtyard, so he personally pressed the switch button.

The other party was the family of those people yesterday, and now they are here to find someone. The few people who stayed in the villa yard didn't go back all night and didn't go back to eat breakfast and lunch. They were all worried. After searching the resort in the morning but failed, they finally thought that they should come to the villa to look for it.

"I don't know that we had a very early night break, and the people and things below had nothing to do with us."

"How can you say that, they have been in the yard of your villa, and now they are missing, how can you send us a word of unclearity?"

"What else? A group of strangers came uninvited and broke into my yard, threatened all day, stayed for a whole day and refused to leave, which disrupted my normal living habits. I haven't settled the score with you yet. What does it have to do with me if I am missing now?"

You Xi's tone was very cold. If it weren't for confirming the specific situation of the disappearance of those people, she wouldn't have answered the conversation.

The other party knew that what she was talking about was the truth, and when she said coldly, she felt that her face was burning so hard. It was obviously someone else's place, and her family was squatting down and refused to leave. Now that the person is gone, she asked her where she went.

But they had searched everywhere. They had contacted one of them because they had a mobile phone on them, but the other party's mobile phone showed that it could not be connected. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, they wouldn't come here to find the owner of the villa.

After You Xi hung up the call, she slowly frowned her eyebrows.

So, those people have not returned since they came to the mountainside yesterday?

There are no other buildings nearby except for these buildings on the hillside and the resort area at the foot of the mountain. Where can they go? But if they can't stand it because it's too cold at night and get lost in the dark, they won't have been back yet.

The mountain is not big, there is only one road down the mountain, and there are no wild animals. Where will they go?

Those people had no choice but to go down the mountain and report the matter to the troops.

This is not the first missing incident reported today. Several people were missing at the resort shelter site last night.

According to the family of the missing person, those people should have left the building where they rested at night and went out. The reason for going out is not clear. Their family also found out in the morning that they had not come back.

At first I thought they were going to other friends I met, but when lunch time was almost up, I still didn't come back, so I went around and found that the person was missing.

In a building that is acting as a temporary conference room, an internal military meeting is underway.

In addition to the missing incidents reported by the people, there are actually missing people within the army, and those who were responsible for patrols around the country last night.

They not only have intercoms, but also equipped with weapons. If they really encounter any attack, even if they are besieged, they will not disappear so quietly. There are not even traces of fighting nearby.

But they will not announce this news to the public for the time being, for fear that it will cause panic among the people who are taking refuge.

It was raining all night long, and they were forced to hide from the "Red Lotus", but now they disappeared again.

"Is there really nothing unusual last night?" The man sitting in the head looked solemn.

Someone remembered something and said, "Will that... fog count?"

"fog?"

"Yes, after about nine o'clock last night, fog slowly began to rise nearby. It was quite thin at the beginning, but it became thicker and thicker in the back, but the thick fog area was mostly in the forest... The fog had dissipated before dawn this morning, so I don't know if the disappearance would be related to the fog."

Next to him, another person seemed to think that the man was a little whimsical: "Are you thinking too much? Just a fog, and you can still lose the person? It's just a few unrelated incidents. Today, I'll send someone to search for it. If there are really wild beasts nearby, there will be clues. In addition, let's think about how to fight for the high-altitude airships at the headquarters. This is the top priority."

As soon as the topic came out, someone immediately agreed and the meeting immediately changed direction.

The resort's shelter site was calm for the next two days, and there were no sudden cracks or "red lotus" nearby, giving these people who were taking refuge everywhere some chance to breathe.

The missing person was never found, but because such a thing did not happen again, it was not followed up as a typical event.

In the past few days, You Xi has been searching for news about fog and disappearance online.

However, it is late autumn, and it is already foggy weather. Even if someone finds that fog is coming, they won’t pay much attention to it.

What's more, the situation outside is very messy now. Not to mention missing, people die every day, and all kinds of news are mixed together, and there is no connection at all.

Some people on the Internet also said that the online signal seems to be getting worse and worse recently, and many times the call cannot be connected and the Internet will be disconnected.

But they all think that this may be related to the emergence of "Red Lotus". Such a huge unknown creature may also have other dangers that they do not currently understand.

At the same time, several countries on the planet reached an offensive consensus and prepared to bomb the first wave of missiles on the death penalty area of ​​the "Red Lotus" where the people had completely evacuated.

That day, almost all the people followed the news on the front line through various stretched screens.

But just like the scene in "You Xi"'s memory, the first wave of bombing only caused the "red lotus blooming" in advance. Several "red lotus" stirred up the "sharp teeth" at the same time, causing the remaining buildings around to be cleared. Even the drone hovering in the distance to photograph had no time to hide, and was swept into the bottomless abyss of "sharp teeth" by suction.

This one-sided failed ending shattered the last expectations of many people. Doomsday remarks exploded in every place. In the urban areas of some countries, lucky areas that have not been affected by the "Red Lotus" were also collectively impacted by the mobs.

In current affairs and news, the scene of man-made disasters even surpassed the "Red Lotus".

You Xi has also paid special attention to the situation outside and the surrounding dynamics these days. All her advantages have ended one day ago. "You Xi" before her rebirth died one day ago.

Because she wanted to avoid the impact of the mob, she left the relatively safe area with other refugees. As a result, she was very unlucky and a new "red lotus" appeared nearby.

This time, there was no low-altitude hover car, and she encountered a huge suction vortex on her face, and her body was torn to pieces by the densely stirred "sharp teeth"...

So, from now on, all the dangers in this world are unknown, and she must always be vigilant.

At night, the villa began to carry out shift vigils, each with one night. At first, Heimu, Jian Shou and others did not agree with her staying at night. After all, there were four of them here, so she didn't need to worry or work hard for such things.

But You Xi insisted that she was the strongest among the five people.

It was safe and sound for two consecutive nights.

At noon that day, when Yan Shang, who was on the night before, reported on the night's situation, he mentioned again what You Xi had been paying attention to before.

"It started to fog last night, but it was not here, but in the city. I heard that the range is not only large, but also very thick. But because it was night, I can't see what the color of the fog is."

"Is anyone missing?"

"There is no statistics yet. There are few people in the urban area. After the relatively safe areas, many people died after being hit by the mob. Even if there are still people hiding in buildings or basements, it is impossible to go out at night at will."

You Xi understood Yan Shang's meaning. If no one went out, it would be impossible to confirm whether the appearance of the fog would cause the disappearance.

"People who are on the night these days are careful and keep an eye on the camera outside the villa. If you find fog nearby, wake me up immediately."

"Yes."

Before that night, in the evening, several major news emerged in the current affairs news.

The picture was taken by a drone flying in accordance with a safe route. The focus of the shooting was a large "red lotus" in the urban area. It was originally around 4 o'clock this afternoon, which was the "blooming" time of this "red lotus".

Although this thing is terrible and has no rules when it comes out from the ground for the first time, as long as it appears, there is a pattern of time to follow every time it "blooms".

By the time the news screen started live broadcast, it was already six o'clock in the evening, but the "red lotus" in the picture still had no sign of blooming. Even the huge red software around it was a little out of place. It was softly resting on the nearby ruins. The software that originally protected the "sharp teeth" in the middle was also loosely opened, unlike as always as before.

For a time, the Internet was full of related news and posts.

——What’s going on? Does “Red Lotus” also have time to exist? Boldly guess, is it time and it’s almost dying?

——I said before that this thing must be an alien creature! The planetary environment is different, and it cannot exist for a long time! Look, I'm right! It's going to die!

——Really? Is there anyone from other regions to tell me whether this is an individual phenomenon or a common phenomenon? Is it really going to die? Is it still a rescue on our planet? Is it wuwuwu...

——I am from the three urban districts of Y Country. There is also a "red lotus" here in the morning. We are all afraid that it is our own illusion, and we are afraid that it will not work if it says it.

——I am from the Bacheng District of W. Kingdom. There was a lot of fog in some areas yesterday. After the fog dissipated, the two "red lotus" in the foggy area did not "bloom" at the scheduled time...

This news seems to have reached the point, and the news released by others later brought more or less topics related to fog.

——There was heavy fog one night before, and the next day, I found that several people who went out were missing. We always thought it was the cause of the fog, but now it seems that it is not. The fog seems to be helping us...

——Mist fog is just a climate phenomenon. Whether it is said so lingeringly? Someone’s disappearance is related to it, and the weakness of the “Red Lotus” is also related to it…
