Lizi carefully recalled what had happened.
She had indeed checked. That guy no longer had even the slightest breath... His head had been smashed to pieces, with brain matter splattered all over the ground. He could not have been deader.
But she did not believe Leng Feng had simply made it up... This made Lizi suspect that there was more than one creature resembling that guy. After all, no matter how she looked at it, this strange, dense fog did not seem like a natural phenomenon.
Lizi quietly placed her hand beneath the table. A fluffy white ball emerged from her palm, then nimbly leaped out and landed on the floor.
"Snow Sprite, go have a look around," Lizi ordered in a low voice.
The little white fluff swiftly pressed itself against the edge of the wall and slipped silently out of the hotel.
Before long, Ren Ziling and Leng Feng came over. Ren Ziling said nothing, merely lowering her voice as she said, "For now, we'll follow Major Leng Feng's arrangements. Don't ask why. Understand?"
Lizi nodded... After hesitating for a moment, Akiko agreed as well.
Outside the hotel, besides a squad of soldiers, there were many civilians—adults, elderly people, and children. They were all holding onto a long rope, to keep from getting separated in the dense fog.
Ren Ziling led the way to the back of the group, grabbed the end of the rope, and chose not to walk alongside Leng Feng... Leng Feng knew Ren Ziling's personality very well, but how could he truly not care at all?
Two soldiers were quietly sent from the front to the rear of the group.
They joined up along the way.
Many soldiers rescued trapped civilians from various parts of the town. They took them to the town's gymnasium.
