Huo Ling used his mental abilities to probe, but he was unable to lock onto the target.

I can only vaguely sense that it's inside this building.

"Let's investigate separately."

Huo Ling told them to act independently and to start the search from the lobby on the first floor.

The two teams went their separate ways.

Old Yang shouted from the other side, "No way! Who knows if you'll harm us? Besides, you have so many people, plus Qi Mo and Qi Zhi, that's a total of seven people, while we only have four! And Qi Mo is a healer, this isn't fair."

Xiao Xiao also said, "Yes, Secretary Yu asked us to go on the mission together. You can't have the siblings all to yourself. We need Qi Mo more."

Qi Mo's face immediately darkened. Although he didn't want to make enemies, he wasn't someone who could be ordered around at will. "We're all in the lobby on the first floor. If any of you need help, of course I'll help you. Besides, my sister and I were placed into their five-person team by Secretary Yu, not into your team. Helping you is a favor, not helping is my right."

Old Yang immediately panicked and said, "Xiao Mo, that's not what we meant."

Qi Mo's expression remained unpleasant.

He has a rare ability, after all. You have to know how rare a healing ability user is in the post-apocalyptic era. It's one thing that the five-person team doesn't care about him, but Old Yang's side actually dares to order him around.

Modia stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, everyone, keep your mouths shut. Your lives are more important. Do you want to waste your time arguing?"

He warned Lao Yang, "Shut up." He never said anything nice.

Annoying.

Old Yang had no choice but to shut up, but his dissatisfaction grew stronger. He was a proud man who had to listen to Modia, who was younger than him, but now no one was giving him any face.

My mind is becoming increasingly twisted.

In the end, they decided to split up, since dragging things out like this would be a huge waste of time.

They had to leave before dark.

Huo Ling checked the time and reminded him, "It's exactly 2 PM now."

There are still four and a half hours until dark.

It usually gets completely dark by 6:30. Although there is thick fog everywhere now, making it as dark as nighttime indoors, it will definitely be more dangerous at night. They must hurry and not delay any longer.

The two teams were preparing to begin their search from the left and right.

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream rang out beside me, "Ah—!!!"

Everyone was startled.

Old Yang yelled, "Damn it!! Blood! Whose blood is splattered all over my face?!"

Old Jiang suddenly exclaimed, "Xiao Xiao is gone!"

Everyone was taken aback.

Modia shouted angrily, "What's going on?!" He was both surprised and terrified.

Huo Ling shone a powerful flashlight in the direction of Lao Yang. He saw that Lao Yang was covered in blood, and his cloak was still dripping blood. Xiao Xiao was dead. His throat, chest, and abdomen were torn open by sharp claws, and his internal organs were spilling out. His expression was also extremely ferocious.

Everyone was gripped by fear and disbelief; how could this monster have launched a sneak attack?

Almost the next second.

A loud "bang!" rang out in the dim light, the sound of a stick striking its target.

Huo Ling quickly shone his flashlight toward the source of the sound, which was in Lin Shuangshuang's direction. His heart tightened immediately, and he was relieved only when he saw that she was alright.

Lin Shuangshuang landed with the steel pipe in her hand. She leaped up and knocked away the mutated creature that suddenly attacked her with the stick, and was just shone by Huo Ling's powerful flashlight.

Everyone gasped.

The mutated creature had a raised back, thick limbs, and was covered in a layer of reflective metallic armor. Its claws were extremely sharp and gripped the hall tiles tightly, leaving deep scratch marks on the floor.

"Holy crap, this thing is so fast, and it doesn't even make a sound."

No wonder they can kill people without them even noticing; it's terrifying.

Rona looked serious.

Wu Zhe's face turned pale. "There's no trace of a pangolin here. This is a monster!"

Gao Lei was relieved, "Luckily, Sister Shuangshuang reacted quickly." Otherwise, another one would have died.

Realizing it had been exposed, the mutated pangolin immediately began to flee, burrowing underground and disappearing from the hall, where it once again hid.

Old Yang was terrified, yelling, "Ah! Ah!! What is this thing? What is this thing? I'm not doing this anymore! I'm not doing this anymore! Let's go, let's go now!!"

He jumped up and down in frustration.

Modia told him to calm down, "What's wrong with you?! Tell me how to get there?! It's all foggy outside!"

Old Yang couldn't hear anything. Xiao's blood sprayed all over him. He kept muttering to himself, and as the blood dripped into his mouth, he immediately started gagging. "I... I can't... I have to go... I have to go!!"

He went berserk and, ignoring Modia's attempts to stop him, charged straight out.

Qi Zhi and Qi Mo's expressions were also unpleasant. Upon seeing this, Qi Zhi immediately scolded, "Idiot."

as predicted.

Before Old Yang could even run out of the hall, he was killed by a blur of motion at the doorway.

The mutated pangolin was incredibly fast, almost invisible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, Old Yang was sliced ​​in two by its sharp claws and died.

The body was still twitching.

Modia couldn't help but gag, his face extremely pale. "Damn it!"

I've never seen such a stupid person.

The thick fog had shrunk to the building entrance, completely surrounding them.

Modia was about to lose his temper. "Damn it, why did we even come in! We shouldn't have come in at all! I knew I shouldn't have confronted this monster head-on!"

Old Jiang had already retreated silently, trying to hide in the crowd.

Qi Zhi retorted sarcastically, "Really? Look at that thick fog again!"

Modia and Lao Jiang turned their heads and saw that the pink fog was actually "eating people." Yes, eating people. It was attached to Lao Yang's corpse and was visibly digesting the fresh meat. The pink fog also became more vibrant.

terror.

Modia's legs were starting to give way, and even Old Jiang was losing his composure. "What do we do?"

The mutated pangolin was probably afraid of Lin Shuangshuang, so it didn't dare to attack the group again for a while. Everyone huddled together and tried to stay close together.

Lin Shuangshuang said coolly, "It's simple, lure it out and kill it."

Everyone was watching her.

Huo Ling, however, was worried about her. He asked in a deep voice, "Can you win?"

Lin Shuangshuang looked up at him and nodded, "We should be able to win, you guys need to help."

She still couldn't use her special ability; her strength was just a little higher than before.

It's a bit difficult to hit it.

Support is needed.

Luo Na and the other two naturally said no problem, "Shuang'er, we'll do as you say!"

Qi Zhi and Qi Mo also expressed their support, saying, "We siblings will do our best to cooperate with you." Modia and Lao Jiang also said they would help, as neither of them wanted to die.

Lin Shuangshuang said, "Then there's no problem." With so many people working together, we can win. "Also, after we win, the alien core will belong to our team."

She reminded the four outsiders.

Qi Zhi and Qi Mo were taken aback for a moment, then said it was fine. Modia and Lao Jiang were a little dissatisfied, but in the end, their lives were more important, so they said, "Okay."

Huo Ling had just seized the opportunity to lock his mental energy onto the mutated pangolin when he said, "It's here."
