Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Lurking Crisis

Hai was very nervous. His forehead was already covered in cold sweat. He called out three times on the walkie talkie, and only Cui Qi and the female supervisor responded, saying they were okay.

Earlier, Hai had divided his subordinates into five groups: one stayed put, one followed him, one followed Cui Qi, one followed a female supervisor, and one hasn’t responded yet.

"One group’s in trouble. Everybody, be careful," Hai’s voice trembled a bit, not knowing what the troubled group had encountered.

Lu Yi said, "This place may look peaceful, but it could be more dangerous than the outside."

After hearing this, Gu Fan slapped his forehead, "Without Jie and Xu Haowen hitting you, you feel like you can play doomsayer, right?"

Hai volunteered, "Can I act on behalf of Jie? I don’t know why, but I have always wanted to hit this guy."

"Why, who did I offend?" As he spoke, Lu Yi even had a look of grievance.

After a while, Cui Qi’s group and the female manager’s group all returned. They all looked nervous, apparently worried about encountering any danger.

"What about the group that’s in trouble? Should we go find them?" That was everyone’s question, as they all heard howls and animal noises from the walkie talkies.

Hai thought for a while, "If it’s just wild animals, we have nothing to fear with so many of us."

But Gu Fan had doubts, "Is there really wild animals here? How do they survive? It’s not possible to have people feed them every day."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense. They were more afraid that these animals were not simple, if they were mechanical beasts, it would be harder to deal with.

At this moment, the boss also returned, showing no signs of panic, looking serious. He knew that one of the teams was in trouble, then said, "We must figure out what happened, otherwise we’ll encounter it again."

The boss’s views were consistent with Gu Fan’s, hence everyone followed the boss to search for the missing group.

Lu Yi could not help but say, "Don’t lose more people while looking for the lost group."

Hearing this, Hai walked over to Lu Yi, put his arm around his shoulder as if they were good friends, then said softly, "If I hit you, I definitely won’t show mercy like Jie."

"I know, I understand, I really do." Lu Yi quickly mimed zipping his mouth shut.

As they walked, they kept an eye on their surroundings, spread out a bit to increase the search range. If something happened, they would yell, and everyone would rush over immediately.

"Look, there’s blood on the ground." Leng Le, with sharper eyes, quickly pointed it out.

Everyone immediately ran over to see, they couldn’t help but gasp. Not only was there blood, but the people from that group were lying in a pool of blood, their bodies too mangled to identify.

"Oh my God, what on earth did they go through?" Du Jun couldn’t help but tremble with fear. At this time, more miserable screams rang out from the surroundings, signaling that someone else was in trouble.

Hai clenched his heart, "Not good, we should hurry over and see."

"No way, it’s very dangerous." Lu Yi was somewhat reluctant to go, but everyone else ran over, leaving him alone. How could he dare stay behind? So, despite his fears, he followed the group.

By the time they arrived, they saw a person laying on the ground in panic, pointing at a mangled body. It was also a member of the missing group.

It turns out they discovered something instead of encountering danger. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They had just prepared themselves for a desperate struggle.

Suddenly, horrific screams came from the walkie talkie. It was from the group guarding the water gate, along with the sounds of beasts tearing things apart and growling, which made everyone shiver with fear.

Gu Fan quickly said, "The water gate is our exit, our way out. If it’s lost, things will turn bad."

"We must hurry back." The boss also knew the seriousness of the situation, leading everyone to rush back.

Lu Yi couldn’t help but sigh, "Why are we always running into these kinds of things? What kind of people like to construct traps like these, "shut the door to let the dog out"? They have no public morals."

Upon hearing this, everyone wanted to laugh. You were in someone else’s territory, trying to rob them of their things, yet you were blaming them for setting up obstacles.

As they were walking, the boss suddenly stopped in his tracks. Everyone was curious about what the boss had seen that could cause him to stop.

Gu Fan looked closely and was startled to see a person standing not far away. However, the person was turned with his back to them, and he could vaguely see the person’s body shaking, indicating he was still alive.

Everyone was surprised to see a person in this torn-up place. They didn’t know whether to be relieved or horrified, their hearts pounded in their throats.

The boss asked directly, "Who’s that ahead? Can you understand what I’m saying?"

The person heard the noise, slowly turned around, and slowly turned his head. He didn’t seem like a normal person. His face was distorted, his eyes fierce, and his mouth gnashing, appearing more like a wild beast than a man.

"Everyone, step back, step back." Even the boss felt that something was off, and he took steps backward.

Seeing the boss’s fear, Gu Fan and the others dare not stand still. They too backed away while the person, who seemed like a beast, got closer with each step.

The beast-like man seemed excited when he saw his prey. He started to growl and moved forward by dragging his body with great effort. However, his movement was too slow to pounce at Gu Fan and others.

Nevertheless, Gu Fan and the others dared not to let down their guards. They felt that something was off.

Suddenly, Qin Jia screamed from behind. "There’s more at the back?"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill. They immediately turned around to see that several beast-like men were blocking their way.

Not only that, more and more growls resembling those of beasts came from their surroundings. Some of them came out from the dilapidated buildings on the side. Their clothes were tattered and their movements slow, but their numbers were increasing. They quickly surrounded Gu Fan, the boss, and the rest.

"No way, there are so many and we don’t have weapons." Lu Yi was scared because there was no way to fight back. Even Hai was panicking.

Everyone’s hopeful eyes were on the boss, hoping that he could lead them out of this predicament.

However, the boss didn’t care about their gazes. He was using his flashlight to scan the surroundings, seemingly looking for something.

"Can someone tell me what to do? These guys look hungry." Lu Yi looked at the shrinking encirclement, his face had turned pale with fear. He was not eager to be the dessert for these people.
