Tang Zheng stood on the bluestone for a full ten minutes without moving rashly. The entire fairy tale town remained deathly quiet, as if the air had solidified.
As time went by, the withered sea of flowers turned into dust, which was washed away by the drizzle and mixed into the soil. No trace of the ghost girl's existence could be seen.
Tang Zheng didn't say anything, so the group members stayed quietly. The night was a bit cold, so everyone crossed their arms and shrank their shoulders.
Li Xinlan was seriously injured, but after being treated by Song Xin, she improved a lot. Gu Xueqi was self-sufficient, using the little phoenix to heal the wound, but was hit by a soul bomb, leaving her chest covered in blood and her protective clothing also damaged.
Some are broken.
"Let me see your injuries!" Song Xin walked up to Tang Zheng and took his left hand. She looked at the rotten form on the forearm and the dead flesh was still spreading, and her nose felt sore with pain.
"I'm fine, I won't die." Tang Zheng comforted him. After a moment's hesitation, he decided not to send out any scouts. He waited where he was, hoping that the missing Tantai people could be found.
"Why doesn't it work?" Song Xin put her hand on Tang Zheng's wound, white light emitted, but the wound did not heal.
"Probably because of the special effects, we need to scrape off the rotten meat first." Tang Zheng took out a straight knife and cut off the rotten meat like peeling fish scales without even bothering to apply anesthetic.
When people saw this brutal scene, their eyes almost exploded. Brother, those are your claws. Doesn’t it hurt?
Song Xin's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously grabbed the hand holding the knife.
"It's okay." Tang Zheng was very quick, and then sprinkled a packet of medicinal powder on it, "Here, let's treat it."
This time the treatment took effect, the wound healed, and the skin grew back.
Mu Nianqi took out a rocket launcher and blasted it into the wooden house next to it, blowing it up and making it crackle and burn. Still not even a ghost was blown out.
"What should we do now? Just wait like this?" Gu Xueqi wanted to camp. She was injured and wanted to take the time to rest and recuperate.
"Congratulations to the survivors for completing the first phase of the mission. The second phase has begun. Please protect Little Red Riding Hood and her baby from being eaten by evil wolves within seven days." The Trojan Horse is still the same, and the announcement is only said once. Listen.
Being unclear deserves bad luck.
"Look. I don't need to answer." Tang Zheng sighed. As expected, Trojan horse had no intention of letting the toy have time to breathe. "Let's go and take a look at the center of the town."
"Where is Little Red Riding Hood?" Song Xin asked, "This mission should be very simple, right? It's just about killing the wolf!"
"Innocent, at least the enemy will not be weak." Mu Nianqi looked at the houses on both sides of the town and suggested, "Let's search around first, maybe there will be clues."
"President, let us act together with you." Sun Jingshan was still calm and could grasp the key points. Others reacted and immediately agreed.
"Okay, Tang Zheng, let's divide into two teams. Is that okay?" Mu Nianqi walked to the nearby hut first, but except for Ge Cang and the college student, everyone else stayed where they were and looked at Tang Zheng.
Mu Nianqi took a general glance at the furnishings in the house, which were very ordinary. However, as soon as he stepped over the threshold, the field of vision in front of him suddenly went dark, forming a vortex, which made his head dizzy. When he woke up again, he had already appeared in front of a modern road.
The urban streets are busy with traffic and neon lights are shining.
"Oops." Mu Nianqi instantly activated the shield, and just as she was about to make bad plans, people appeared around her with confused and frightened expressions.
"Let's go." Tang Zheng also chose a house next door. He would never go deep into the town without making sure the surroundings were safe step by step.
Similar to Mu Nianqi's experience, Tang Zheng also activated the shield immediately and was teleported. Tao Ran and others did not realize that the leader in front of them had turned into a phantom and followed him in.
"Wait!" Lu Fan realized something was wrong. Some dust flew in the light beam of the tactical flashlight, ignoring Tang Zheng's body and piercing it. This made her horrified.
"What's wrong?" Li Xinlan was puzzled.
Lu Fan pulled out his pistol and shot Tang Zheng in the knee. The bullet penetrated the shadow directly and hit the floor.
Several people who had not yet entered the room were frightened and drew their weapons in unison.
"What's going on? Trap?" Ruan Feifei looked around, a little anxious, "What should I do?"
"Can't you think of a solution? You keep asking what to do?" Lu Fan cursed and ran to the next door quickly. He found that no one was there, so he gritted his teeth and said, "There is no choice.
Come into the room."
Several conquerors looked at each other and could only follow, praying, hoping not to get separated from Tang Zheng.
The goddess of luck seemed to have heard their prayers. Lu Fan and his party teleported over and saw Tang Zheng and Tao Ran. Not far away was Mu Nianqi's team.
"Isn't it a magical theme? How come it's modern?" Ge Cang observed. The style of the entire city seemed to be that of the United States in the 1990s.
"Who stipulates that Little Red Riding Hood has to live in the woods?" Lu Fan curled his lips, not liking Mu Nianqi and her bodyguards.
"Then where do you think wolves and hunters come from?" Ge Cang said in a teasing tone, not wanting to argue with children.
"It can be a werewolf!" Lu Fan argued unfailingly, but Tang Zheng and Mu Nianqi were shocked when they heard this, and some inspiration flashed through them.
There were no clues, and no one acted blindly. However, five minutes later, they found the Tantai team who disappeared after entering the town.
"Get ready to fight!" Before his vision recovered from the darkness, Tantai shouted and deployed his shield. Everyone else tensed up, and their original turbulent emotions were suppressed by this roar.
"Tang Zheng?" Teng Yuanxiang saw the leader at a glance and was extremely happy, "Where did you just go?"
"Fighting the ghost girl, how about you?" Mu Nianqi counted and found that there were many people in Tantai's team, and it was obvious that they had not encountered any danger.
"After we entered the town, we didn't see anything. Everything in front of us was foggy. Tantai didn't let us act rashly. After waiting for half an hour, Trojan suddenly announced that the second phase of the mission had started. I couldn't sit still anymore and went into the house to check.
"Fuji Motoka's red lips twitched and she said everything like pouring beans from the bamboo tube, much like a loyal dog who couldn't wait to take credit.
A group of people were depressed. Why was the other team so lucky? They were very unconvinced.
"Teng Xiaosan shouldn't be fake." Tang Zheng glanced at Tantai, who still had that dead expressionless face, "Where's that wild cat?"
"I accidentally let it escape."
"How many of you have died?" Tantai saw the blood on Li Xinlan's chest and greeted him politely.
The young woman's expression was cold, which made Tang Zheng's plan to judge the impostor based on who Li Xinlan was close to failed.
Qin Yan still looked like a soy sauce party, but Ging Guo was not very attached to her. Pang Meiqin stood alone outside the team, very isolated.
"The important combat force is not dead." Tang Zheng raised his head and glanced at the night, and walked towards a cafe on the street that was about to close, "Let's find a place to take shelter first, and let's discuss what to do with Little Red Riding Hood?"
A group of people hurriedly followed, racking their brains to think, but Trojan horse solved the problem for them, and the watch beeped.
"It's a map." Jing Lan clicked on the interface, and a three-dimensional city map popped up with green routes marked, leading to a nightclub called Earl.
"The wooden horse is very considerate." Lin Weiguo slapped his lips and sarcastically said, "According to its urine properties, there will most likely be a trap."
"But we have no choice." Lu Fan pouted his lips. This kind of game is too abominable. You know there is a trap, but you still have to jump.
"It feels really unpleasant to be led by someone's nose." Zhao Dongtao poked Tang Zheng's arm and pointed to the parking lot not far away.
This was not the first time. The conquerors skillfully moved away from several cars and spent thirty minutes arriving at a dirty and dilapidated street.
The walls were covered with colorful graffiti, disgusting swear words, political slogans, dried blood stains, everything. Song Xin even saw a portrait of the Mona Lisa, but it was replaced with a naked woman from the head down. Body graffiti.
Mu Nianqi's eyebrows frowned. She hated dirty and messy environments.
Across the street is the Earl's Nightclub, where young people go in and out from time to time, and business is booming.
A couple was kissing as if no one was watching. The woman was wearing a pair of hot pants that could not cover her buttocks, and her upper body was only wearing underwear, exposing her lower abdomen. The man's hands were kneading her breasts unscrupulously.
The bespectacled doctor swallowed and his mouth went dry. The woman noticed her gaze and pointed her middle finger and cursed.
Tang Zheng led everyone towards the nightclub, but as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by six men wearing black T-shirts.
"Stranger, this is not the place you should be, get out of here." The man at the head was very arrogant, looking down at Tang Zheng with his height of nearly two meters.
"Hey, watch your tone!" Teng Yuanxiang didn't care about these scum, and came close to Tang Zheng, protecting him conscientiously.
"You bitch, do you want to be fucked?" The man grinned and threatened fiercely.
"Have you ever heard of the name Little Red Riding Hood?" Tang Zheng looked past the man in front of him and landed on the door of the nightclub. This kind of little shrimp was worth getting angry at.
"What do you want from Little Red Riding Hood?" The man looked at the group of people with doubts, "She doesn't have any friends, right?"
"That's none of your business!" Tang Zheng punched out with his right fist, hitting the man in the mouth and directly smashing his teeth into his throat.
Seeing the boss being beaten, the five subordinates roared and rushed towards him.
When Teng Yuanxiang and Zhao Dongtao saw Tang Zheng making a move, they immediately jumped out and knocked them down like they were chopping melons and vegetables. Teng Xiaosan had just been scolded and was particularly cruel, kicking them in the balls.
"Next time, remember, don't use your words indiscriminately." After Tang Zheng finished his training, he kicked the man on the chest and knocked him unconscious. This guy wouldn't be able to get out of bed for at least a month.
Walking down a staircase, the noise became louder and louder. After walking around a corner, Tang Zheng saw young people having fun, densely packed and occupying the entire field of vision. {PiaoTian Literature www.PiaoTian.com Thank you all.
