"Oh, then let's go. This forest doesn't feel safe either."
Tang Jun said.
"Mm."
Lin Dong nodded.
Then he led over a hundred Awakened toward the edge of the forest.
Since this place was quite far from Wang Rong's Tech Company, everyone had prepared themselves for a long trek.

Lin Dong spouted nonsense with a straight face.
Tang Jun was instantly dumbfounded, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
"What? Black Scorpion
