When a woman is putting on makeup and dressing up, time always flies quickly.

Jiang Yao took out his cell phone and had been playing Landlord for quite a while. Qiqi, who had said she would be out in ten minutes at most, was still nowhere to be seen.

"Are you ready, Chichi?"

"Ten minutes have already passed. Why haven't you come out of your room yet?"

"If you keep dawdling like this, I'll go out and wander around by myself and won't wait for you!"

After a game ended, Jiang Yao looked at the time, looking dissatisfied, and urged.

He has always been used to being alone.

It's true that women are a spice of life, but if they really have to be together every day for a little longer, he will feel a little annoyed.

After all, when he is alone, he can do whatever he wants. But when he is with a woman, due to the differences in thinking patterns and behavioral habits, it takes a lot of time for each other to adapt to each other's pace of life.

After getting off the yacht and living with Qiqi for only two or three days, Jiang Yao already felt a little annoyed.

"Coming, coming. I'll be there soon!" Inside the room, Kiki responded immediately, but she still didn't see his shadow at the door.

Feeling impatient, Jiang Yao took out a cigarette and lit it.

It was not until a few minutes passed and she finished her cigarette that Kiki, with delicate makeup on her face and well-matched clothes, appeared in his sight.

"Brother Yao, does this dress look good on me?" After walking to the front of the sofa, she paused, turned around on the spot, and asked Jiang Yao with a smile.

"It looks good, it must be good-looking!" Jiang Yao asked casually as he stood up.

He is a real man and has never cared much about his clothes.

In his hometown, flip-flops and shorts are basically his standard attire on hot days.

At this moment, he didn't want Qiqi to run to change other clothes because of his poor performance, so he just gave her a few compliments.

"Brother Yao, as long as you think it looks good, I'll go get the bag..." With a bright smile on her face, Kiki had only said half of her words when the doorbell suddenly rang at an inopportune time.

She was originally smiling, but her face turned pale: "Who would come to me at this time?"

"Could it be that there are police outside, coming to arrest us?"

When she thought of this possibility, Qiqi couldn't control herself and shivered several times.

While she was talking, she was about to go back to her room to get her bag, but in just a few steps she had already jumped behind Jiang Yao and shrank back.

"There is no such thing as a policeman. I don't know what's in your little head. You just have nonsense all day long." Jiang Yao teased with a smile, walked to the door and opened it directly.

"Hello, sir, here's the takeaway you ordered..." Wearing yellow armor, Lin Zixian was holding a takeaway box, standing straight at the door.

When the door opened and he saw Jiang Yao, he was obviously happy in his heart, but on the surface, he did not show much abnormality.

As he handed the takeaway box to Jiang Yao, he looked surprised, as if he had just recognized Jiang Yao's identity: "A Yao? You live here?"

This guy seems to have some talent for acting.

With his current acting skills, he can definitely beat a lot of the hottest stars in the entertainment industry in seconds.

"Kari?" Jiang Yao was also stunned when he recognized this guy's identity.

After looking at this guy for a few times, even with his sharp senses, he didn't notice anything unusual about Lin Zixian.

When he realized what was happening, he looked weird and said with a smile, "A few days ago, you were on a yacht and a young model. It's only been a few days since I last saw you. I didn't expect you to be delivering food!"

"There are a lot of random things in those short videos on the Internet."

"Could it be that you have watched too much of that stuff and followed those internet celebrities to experience life like a rich second generation?"

Jiang Yao has always had a good impression of Lin Zixian.

As he spoke, he smiled and led her into the house: "A yellow vest, still brand new, without a speck of dirt on it."

"A real delivery man doesn't look like you."

"Also, I want to make it clear that Qiqi and I have already had breakfast and did not order any takeout."

"I guess you're not very experienced in this business. You probably sent it to the wrong place."

……

Inviting Lin Zixian to sit on the sofa, Jiang Yao naturally did not forget to explain with a smile.

Kiki, who was standing next to him, was a little surprised when she saw Lin Zixian dressed like this, but after she realized what was going on, she was visibly relieved.

"Hello, Mr. Lin!" After pouring a glass of water for Lin Zixian, she took out some fruits and placed them on the coffee table. Then, she sat down next to Jiang Yao who was also sitting on the sofa, very obediently.

"Delivered to the wrong place? That's impossible. Isn't this room number 3 on the 16th floor?" Tilting his head, Lin Zixian pretended to be confused and asked.

"I'm on the 15th floor, room 3. The 16th floor you mentioned is up there."

"Sure enough, Brother Yao is right, Master Lin, you are really mistaken!"

After hearing this, Jiang Yao hadn't made a response yet, but Qiqi next to him had already covered her mouth and started to chuckle.

“Who cares!” Scratching the back of his head, Lin Zixian grinned, “Whether it’s the 15th floor or the 16th floor, there’s no difference.”

"I just happened to meet you and Qiqi, Ayao. I'll just leave the things here. I'm not going to send any more."

"Roast goose from Sham Shui Po, plus shrimp dumplings and barbecued pork buns from Da Fat Restaurant, etc. I just didn't have breakfast, Yao, you have a big appetite, let's just finish these things!"

……

While speaking, Lin Zixian took out the takeaway box and opened it without saying a word.

If you deliver food to the wrong place, the most you'll get is a fine.

A real delivery man might care about these things, but Lin Zixian doesn’t rely on this for a living, so he naturally wouldn’t take it to heart.

"Okay, Carrie, since you said so, I'll do you a favor!" Jiang Yao laughed, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating with Lin Zixian.

With his appetite, if he really wanted to eat to his heart's content, eating a whole cow wouldn't be a big problem.

Although he had eaten breakfast in the morning, the food that Qiqi made was still not enough to fill his teeth.

Although he said he was going out shopping, Jiang Yao originally wanted to get some more delicious food to eat after he got out.

At this moment, facing Lin Zixian's invitation, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Ayao, have you been with Qiqi these days?"

"Well, what about you? Do you deliver food every day?"

"I'm just bored and want to experience what it's like to deliver food. Today is my first time working, so I don't think I'll actually do this."

"You rich kids, you all eat too much, have nothing to do, and like to mess around."

……

He was not a real delivery man at all. Lin Zixian was just using this as a cover to get close to Jiang Yao.

The takeaway he brought with him amounted to more than a dozen fast food boxes, which contained a variety of delicacies, most of which were generous in portion.

He and Jiang Yao ate with relish, their mouths drooling.

Of course, while eating, the two of them naturally did not forget to chat for a while. "Wait a moment, I'm going to answer a phone call." Jiang Yao was only halfway through his meal when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang wildly.

He took out his cell phone and looked at the screen. Seeing that there was no phone number on it and only the word "Unknown", he frowned uncomfortably.

Considering the presence of an outsider, Lin Zixian, he did not press the connect button directly.

After greeting her with a smile, he walked to the small balcony connected to the living room.

It only took a minute or two for him to finish the call and sit back in his original seat.

"Brother Yao, who is calling?" The person who spoke at this moment was naturally Qiqi.

She didn't want to pry into Jiang Yao's privacy, but she asked this question because the death of Manager Huang made her very nervous and she still couldn't let it go.

"It's from abroad, so it must be a scam call." Jiang Yao picked up the chopsticks again and picked up a large piece of roast goose and put it into his mouth.

After responding to Qiqi casually, he continued, "The person who said that, his name is really unreliable."

"He played the victim in front of me, saying that he couldn't stand my bullying. If you are dissatisfied with him or have any other needs, you can just tell him directly."

"He spoke to me in a bird language when he was on the phone. Fortunately, I could still understand him."

"This liar is not professional at all. He is so unreliable. Who knows who he is? If he really wants to deceive me, it would be better for him to pretend to be the First Emperor and say that he has lived for more than 2,000 years."

……

There was contempt in his words and Jiang Yao looked disdainful.

Although he was talking, it did not delay his meal at all.

The chopsticks in his hand fell like raindrops. Any food that entered his mouth would go directly into his stomach in just three or two bites.

"There are indeed many liars in this world."

"I have met many people who sell tea and invest."

"Every time I get this kind of call, I hang up directly. Brother Yao, you made the call for a minute or two. I wondered who it was, but it turned out to be a scammer."

After hearing Jiang Yao say that the phone call just now had nothing to do with Manager Huang's death, Qiqi felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face again.

She laughed and took a few tissues to help Jiang Yao wipe the grease from the corners of his mouth.

Lin Zixian, who was standing next to him, looked noticeably strange when he heard the name Te Meipu.

Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he had heard of this name before and knew who this person was.

*
*
Thousands of miles away, in China, Kunlun Mountains, Death Valley.

The sound of gunfire was like popping beans, continuous.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

"Damn it, several Mantis Men rushed out of the valley."

"Brother Jian is dead, Xiao Fang is also dead. Those monsters are obviously much stronger than the last time they appeared. Ordinary bullets can no longer cause any damage to them."

……

At the entrance of the valley, there was a figure that was two meters tall, with arms as sharp as knives and a layer of shell all over its body. It looked somewhat similar to a mantis. It was as swift as the wind, and wherever it passed, there was a bloody storm.

Originally, there was a full regiment of soldiers stationed here all year round.

But now, there are dozens of people lying on the ground.

The bullets fired from the Type 05 submachine gun landed on the monster, making a clanging sound like the collision of metal, but were unable to break through the shell on the monster's body and cause any damage to it.

The Type 95 assault rifle is slightly more powerful and can barely break through the monster's defense.

However, the monster was too fast and too agile, so it was not easy to hit it.

Even if some bullets broke through the shell, they could only embed into the flesh at most. That little bit of damage would not have much impact on the monster.

On the other hand, the monster's arms were like sharp blades, slashing down, and those fully armed soldiers were cut in half as soon as they were hit. No one could escape.

As they retreated, except for the one hundred or so soldiers who served as the suicide squad to cover the rear and entangle the monster to prevent it from chasing them, all the other soldiers moved very fast and in just a few minutes they had retreated several hundred meters to another line of defense.

Behind the defense line, inside a military tent.

"Artillery, rockets and drone swarms have arrived at the designated locations, are ready to launch and are on standby at any time."

"Give the order, Commander. This is the best opportunity the company has bought for us with their lives."

"When they were slaughtered and the monsters came towards us, we wanted to cover them with firepower, but it was too late!"

"You can't command an army with kindness, Commander!"

Listening to his subordinates' constant persuasion and requests, Liu Donglai, the highest official here, had a bitter and extremely complicated look on his face.

With the help of the drone in the sky, he looked at the scene of the soldiers of the remaining company falling in a pool of blood one after another. He felt heavy-hearted and was extremely sad and angry.

But when it came to giving the order to cover the entire company of soldiers in the range of artillery fire, he hesitated and could not really make a decision.

"Ah...ah..." Liu Donglai clenched his teeth and hadn't even opened his mouth yet when a series of extremely shrill screams reached his ears.

"What's going on?" He was shocked and his face changed.

"It's bad. Among the wounded who were evacuated to the defense line, several of them suddenly became deformed and turned into monsters."

"Compared to the mantis man at the front line, the newly transformed monsters are much weaker, but after slaughtering all the wounded soldiers in the wounded battalion and experiencing the baptism of blood, their strength has greatly increased. Without heavy firepower, it is difficult to truly kill them."

"At the front line, several more Mantis Men emerged from the Death Valley. One of them was over three meters long. They killed people as easily as mowing grass."

"The situation is completely out of control. Commander, let's retreat immediately. If we delay any further, it will be too late to leave!"

As soon as Liu Donglai finished speaking, several pieces of news were transmitted into the military tent which served as the temporary command center.

Here, as the highest commander here, he has been stationed for nearly ten years.

He had heard a lot of legends about the monster mantis man, but he had only faced it in the past few days.

Three days ago, a mantis man appeared for the first time. After killing several people, it was injured and retreated.

This time, it was the second time that the Mantis Men appeared, and there were four or five of them.

The valley entrance was the first line of defense set up by Liu Donglai and his team.

Under the fierce artillery fire, only one of the mantis men who rushed over was left dead.

But without the buffer of distance and unable to provide artillery coverage, even a single mantis man would be enough to cause their defense to collapse.

"Xiao Fang, Xiao Lin, you retreat."

"As for me, if I have to die, I have to die here."

"Also, pass on my order to cover with heavy firepower. Don't worry about hurting your own people. Attack indiscriminately."

……

The defeat in the battle forced Liu Donglai to finally make a decision.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he almost shouted out the few words. (End of this chapter)
