From last night until now, their journey has been exceptionally smooth.
It went so smoothly that it gave one the illusion of calm before a storm.
'Baby, are you sure Chang Le Village has energy that doesn't belong to this world?'
"Yes, I'm sure, but I searched all night and couldn't find it."
The baby is very frustrated and emotionally exhausted.
'Let's go check it out first. Besides that, are there any other questions?'
Xunmi looked out the car window at the scenery, her eyelids twitching incessantly.
No anomalies were found on the system map, but she would not let her guard down, as she had not forgotten what happened last time.
However, before getting into the car, she vaguely sensed a certain smell, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
'My lord, I haven't found any other problems.'
"Oh, right, when I came back, I saw Mingmei sneaking back from the back of the supermarket, carrying a bag."
"I scanned it, and there were no dangerous items in the bag."
The baby nestled comfortably in Xunmi's arms, stirred, and lifted its head to look at its host.
Xunmi frowned, glancing at the car behind him in the rearview mirror.
The seating arrangement has changed today; Mingmei's car has moved to the back of theirs.
Mingmei wouldn't be so kind; Xunmi has always known that.
She knew the answer, but she was still a little confused about what the problem was.
'Keep a close eye on Mingmei; I want to see what kind of trouble she's up to.'
'By the way, did the baby reward me with a purification skill in the last world?'
'Is there a limit to the number of times this can be used?' Xunmi plans to equip this item in case of emergency.
The baby opened the control panel, checked, and found, 'No, but it does have a cooling effect.'
The more times it's used, the longer the cooldown time.
Xunmi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Good things don't come easily, but as long as they work, that's fine.
After walking slowly for another hour, as we approached Changle Village, the team leader waved his hand and we stopped to rest.
Send a team ahead to scout the situation and get a clear picture before setting off.
As I leaned against my car, the air around me grew increasingly humid; something felt off.
The map remained perfectly still and without any discrepancies, yet the restlessness in my heart grew stronger and stronger.
Ye Mingye had been keeping his eyes on Xunmi, but now, seeing the unease and restlessness between Xunmi's brows, his gaze darkened.
"Mi'er, don't worry, I'm here."
No matter what comes, he will make sure they never return.
Xunmi held her beloved husband's hand, and her emotions calmed down a little.
But then Xunmi's eyes widened as he pointed to a dense swarm of things approaching from not far away, his expression grave.
"All hands on alert! Mingye, get in the car quickly, let's go."
Her eyesight was excellent; she could clearly see that even things that weren't right in front of her were spiders.
The swarms of spiders, so densely packed, even made those without trypophobia feel uneasy.
The saying goes, "Little devils are the hardest to deal with." These things are small in size and numerous, and encountering them is a disaster for anyone.
The others weren't blind either, and screams and curses erupted from the scene.
People were pushing and shoving, and some people, once on the bus, wouldn't even wait for the people behind them before stepping on the gas and speeding away.
Once the car they had arrived in was gone, the people behind them started scrambling to take it.
That reckless act chilled Xunmi to the bone.
It's pathetic to focus your energy on your own people instead of dealing with the enemy.
Ye Mingye held Xunmi's hand, offering silent comfort.
The group of people couldn't move from their car, as cars and people in front of them were all blocking their way and causing them to push and shove.
And the rats that kept popping out, just like the spiders behind them.
They must have mutated, otherwise they would have left a trail of slime wherever they went.
"Let's fight." He closed his eyes, then opened them again, revealing raging flames burning within.
Song Ziqian led his men over quickly, and Xu Yi and the others gathered from an unknown direction.
Ye Mingye arranged their respective offensive and defensive positions, with Xun Mi standing at the forefront to defend.
As the spider drew near, the seeker's ice-based abilities were activated.
She stood there, her eyebrows and temples tinged with a light frost.
As the spiders approached them, they were all enveloped in white ice crystals and unable to advance an inch.
The spiders behind tried to crawl over the frozen spiders in front, but they also got frozen onto those spiders.
The spiders, one after another, seemed to be unconscious, only knowing to move forward, forward.
"Mingye, don't you think they seem to be controlled by something?"
Otherwise it wouldn't be like this...
Ye Mingye seized the opportunity and unleashed a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl, pulverizing all the frozen spiders.
"Level 5 zombie." This thing should have two superpowers.
One possibility is that it was shielded, which is why they didn't detect its presence and walked into the trap it set up.
Xunmi and Ye Mingye were dominating the battlefield, while those who were weaker suffered a tragic fate.
The screams never stopped; people were running away and hiding, creating complete chaos.
The situation, which had finally stabilized, was disrupted again by the zombie rats in front.
The people Song Ziqian led were all quite capable, and their mental fortitude was at least up to par.
Ling Chen and his group cooperated very well, and no matter how much trouble those people caused, their area remained safe and secure.
The ice-type ability I'm seeking is catalyzed by the power of the soul. Since I'm currently using the ice-type ability, I can't use the mental ability.
Moreover, she felt that now was not the right time, as that level-five zombie definitely possessed a psychic ability.
Besides the aura of hierarchy, the ability to control so many spiders and rats also stems from absolute command.
The baby kept a close eye on Mingmei, fearing that she might do something harmful to the host at a time like this.
From the start of the battle until its near end, she simply clung tightly to her bag and did nothing else.
Just when it seemed the spiders were about to be cleared out, the zombie rats behind them kept increasing in number.
Those people finally stopped fighting amongst themselves and began to work together to deal with the zombie rats.
Although the effect was not good, at least it could prevent those things from advancing.
Song Ziqian nodded to Xunmi and then led his men to help.
Xu Yi and the others took over Song Ziqian's position as protectors of the back, and Cheng Xinyao did not make any excessive moves throughout the process.
Only now did a glint of madness flash in his eyes.
Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, soon this person will disappear from the world.
The malicious intent flashed by so quickly that no one focused on attack or defense noticed it.
Even the usually perceptive Xunmi and Ye Mingye failed to notice, as they were focused on eliminating the few remaining spiders.
Various colored energy waves burned in this small place, and pieces of flesh and corpses flew in the air.
