When Chen Ke walked more than three meters away, he realized that something was wrong.

He couldn't hear the sound of Zhang Lei turning things over - he knew that Zhang Lei went to the counter to find the ring, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Chen Ke has very low requirements for his dog legs, as long as he doesn't betray the water and doesn't commit suicide, he doesn't care about anything else, such a trivial thing as turning over the counter to get a ring is not worth turning around for him to look at.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Chen Ke stop, Shen Yi also looked back: "Where's Zhang Lei?"

Chen Ke waited for another half a second, then pulled Shen Yi back to the counter quickly, and shot a few balls of flames, instantly lighting up the surroundings of the counter.

The counter, the blood behind the counter, the ring on the floor.

Zhang Lei is gone.

Shen Yi was surprised, he looked around and shouted loudly: "Zhang Lei!"

His voice was transmitted layer upon layer in the empty shopping mall, the echo was drowned in the dark corner, and bounced back again.

The darkness and emptiness brought a strange feeling. Shen Yi felt that there was some movement around him, but he couldn't hear it when he listened carefully.

"Zhang Lei is gone?" Shen Yi looked at Chen Ke, and found that Chen Ke was squinting at the wall.

He looked up and saw nothing.

This counter was simply decorated, and the back wall was decorated with a layer of golden wooden boards. Shen Yi didn't notice any difference until Chen Ke hit a ball of fire and smashed the board near the corner. See a big hole under the tile.

Under the hole is the dark earth, obviously drilled directly into the ground, and it looks like a hole made by some kind of creature, such as a mouse.

Could it be a mutant mouse?

The hole is about as wide as an adult's shoulders. If an adult gets in, it may be difficult to turn around. People with claustrophobia must not be able to bear it.

"Could it be dragged down?" Shen Yi began to worry when he saw this, the opening of this hole was so narrow that once a person entered, it was difficult to get out with his own strength, and he might even suffocate directly.

Chen Ke squatted on the ground and hit a fireball. Not long after, he nodded and said, "It should be, I hit someone, about two meters deep."

Shen Yi also released the ability downwards - his rose vine stretched down hard, and it really touched a person, and he tried his best to bind that person with the rose vine.

There was a faint movement from inside the cave.

Shen Yi frowned for a while, then squatted on the ground, trying to push himself down, but Chen Ke grabbed his shoulders again.

"Your skeleton is too big to get better. Let Zhou Qiong come. We can tie her up with a rope and drag her out."

While talking, Chen Ke rushed to the door and lit a few flames. After about half a minute, Zhou Qiong and Lin Shi came in trembling and hesitant. When they saw them, they breathed a sigh of relief and quickly approached.

Chen Ke asked Lin Shi to get the rope, and then asked Zhou Qiong to tie the rope and go down. Zhou Qiong was obviously scared, but agreed without saying a word.

She also knew that only she could go down alone.

Shen Yi couldn't bear it, but there was really no better way, it was very difficult for him to turn around the hole, the only one who could move freely in it was the petite Zhou Qiong.

Zhou Qiong took off her jacket and went down wearing a sweater. Shen Yi tied several layers of rope around her feet, and made an agreement with her that no matter if she couldn't make a sound, he would pull her out in a minute.

After Zhou Qiong went down, Shen Yi talked to her, and she could still hear the echo from her. She quickly climbed two meters down, shouting "I caught it", and then Shen Yi, Chen Ke, and Lin Shi together Grabbing the rope, Zhou Qiong and Zhang Lei were dragged out together.

Zhou Qiong was alright, but her hair was a little disheveled, her face was flushed, and she kept coughing after being dragged up, patted her hair while coughing, but Zhang Lei was in a coma, Shen Yi quickly pinched him, Lin Shi Open Zhang Lei's mouth and pour water into Zhang Lei's mouth.

Zhang Lei was still in a coma, but his life seemed safe. When Shen Yi pinched him, he saw a strangle mark on Zhang Lei's neck, very thin, bluish-purple, as if strangled by a rope, but There was no rope on Zhang Lei's body. Shen Yi touched Zhang Lei's scar with his fingers and found that there was a small amount of transparent mucus on the mark on his neck.

There was a tingling sensation when his hand touched it, and half of his palm lost feeling after two seconds. Shen Yi hurriedly withdrew his palm, rubbed it on his clothes, and then took some corner of the clothes to rub Zhang Lei's neck. Slime scraped off.

"It seems to be the slime of some kind of plant." Shen Yi was startled for a while, thinking, just touching can make people lose consciousness in their palms.

"Go back first." Chen Ke signaled Lin Shi and Zhou Qiong to pick up the fainted Zhang Lei and take him away. He dragged Shen Yi out, scanning his surroundings vigilantly while walking.

Since there can be a hole here, there must be a second one, so be careful.

Chen Ke seemed to vaguely understand why there was no one in this city.

When going out, Chen Ke threw fireballs at the bottom of the counter. The counter glass burst, and the fireballs illuminated the surroundings. Chen Ke found two more potholes.

Everyone didn't speak, but walked faster silently.

Chen Ke was also desperate to search. He didn't know the details here. There are so many potholes. If there are many mutants, he won't have time to protect everyone, so he might as well evacuate immediately.

Ulan City is not very big, and they can drive out overnight, but when they took Zhang Lei out, they found an accident.

Suru disappeared.

Originally, Chen Zhao planned that he would drive a car with Shen Yi, Suru with Zhang Lei who was unconscious, and Lin Shi with Zhou Qiong, and drive away immediately, but when Chen Zhao opened the second truck, When they opened the door, they found that Suru was not inside.

"Where did Sister Suru go?" Zhou Qiong looked blank, "When we entered the mall, I saw she was still sitting in the car."

Chen Ke slammed the car door angrily.

At such a critical time, one person was lost.

Zhang Lei was tied up after digging through the counter, and he could find a hole, but there was no hole in the truck, where could Suru go?

For the 120th time, Chen Ke wanted to strangle the woman who was in the way and throw it away.

"We're all waiting here, looking at the car." Chen Ke looked around, and said to Shen Yi, "Come with me, let's go look around."

Chen Ke thought, at most he would search within a radius of 200 meters, if he couldn't find anyone, he would take Shen Yi and leave immediately.

Shen Yi was also worried about Suru, anyway Suru was still a pregnant woman, he nodded immediately, and followed Chen Ke beside Chen Ke.

This neighborhood was originally a bustling commercial area. There are various small shops around the shopping mall. Some shops have closed shutter doors, and some shops have opened glass doors. There are dark red bloodstains everywhere on the road. He picked up some garbage such as plastic bags on the ground and slid past their feet.

"Suru—"

Shen Yi lowered his voice and shouted twice, he didn't know if it was his illusion, he felt that his voice sounded a bit creepy, the two of them walked through several streets, not to mention Suru, they didn't even see half of them arrive.

Moreover, Shen Yi noticed that some of the plants in the flower beds on the road were dead, like the plants in normal winter, they didn't grow at all, unlike their small town where all kinds of mutated plants were rampant.

"No, let's go back first." After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Ke asserted: "I can't find it even if I look for it."

It's not that Suru has no brains, it's impossible for her to run away by herself, the only possibility is to be kidnapped by someone else, of course, this "other person" may not be a human being.

Shen Yi understood what Chen Ke meant, he thought for a while, and nodded: "Before we leave, let's do a final search by car."

Having seen the weirdness here, Shen Yi also understands that Suru may be more dangerous than good. Zhang Lei, a mutated man, fainted quietly, not to mention Suru, a pregnant woman. It's just that Shen Yi still doesn't want to give up. Seeing the dead body, maybe there is still hope.

Chen Ke agreed.

The two of them turned back together, and Shen Yi began to think about the route back, but when they went back, they unexpectedly found that Suru had already returned.

Suru who came back swept away the haggard and exhausted before, her whole body exuded vitality, her waist was straight, with a smile on her face, she was talking to Zhou Qiong, she brought When he smiled and looked back at Shen Yi who had come back, he suddenly gave Shen Yi the feeling that the one in front of him was the 17-year-old Suru.

Pure and unassuming, full of vitality.

But in the next second, Shen Yi's gaze fell on Suru's stomach.

I don't know if it's his illusion, it seems that this belly...is bigger?

"I went to find a place to go to the toilet just now. I don't see anyone here. You went to the shopping mall again. I was afraid of affecting you, so I didn't call you. I went by myself. I'm sorry to make you worry."

Suru smiled at Shen Yi, with a very apologetic expression on her face.

Shen Yi thought it was a bit weird, but he didn't think too much about it, and replied, "It's good to be back safely", and then said: "We have to drive away now, and change to a safe place, can you drive?"

Suru smiled and nodded: "Yes."

She supported her stomach with one hand, followed beside Shen Yi, and climbed into the truck with great effort. When driving away, her eyes couldn't help but look out of the car window.

Outside the car window, at a corner of an alley, a fresh corpse was lying there, disemboweled, and fresh terror was still flowing on the dead face.

It was the young man who was ordered by the middle-aged man to follow Chen Ke and the others in the community.

Suru withdrew her gaze, and when she stepped on the accelerator, she gently touched her stomach.
