Ten minutes later, Xie Fan arrived as promised. He was dressed in a sapphire blue suit. He was slim and had long legs. He looked energetic and flirtatious.
Xie Rushuang opened the door and let him in. She could not wait to ask him as soon as he entered the house. "Xie Fan, where did you get that video? Can you confirm its authenticity?"
"Young Mistress, you can doubt my character, but you should never doubt my professionalism."
Xie Fan shook his long hair confidently and said proudly, "No team in the world can forge a video that I, Xie Fan, can't tell if it's real or fake."
Xie Rushuang nodded.
It was true. Xie Fan was a little annoying at times, but he was world-class in the field of optical computer technology. He had solved many problems for the old man at home and was deeply trusted by him.
"Where's the source? You can't have intercepted someone's data flow for no reason. You can't be that bored."
Xie Fan clicked his tongue and said, "It seems that you haven't been in contact with the outside world for the past two days, Young Mistress. Otherwise, there's no way you wouldn't know about the Hongjing Bay villa area being taken over by the military."
Hongjing Bay?
Xie Rushuang was stunned. Was that not the property that the Xie family had bought and built? Did the tragedy in the video happen in Hongjing Bay?
It was so close!
Xie Rushuang could not help but think of the little girl in the video who was eaten by the giant rat, the middle-aged man who was torn apart by the two mongrels, and the gardener who was swallowed by the giant python. She could not help but shudder.
It was no wonder Xie Fan was so concerned about this. There was no way the Xie family, as the host, would be unaware of such a big thing happening in the Hongjing Bay villa area.
"Master didn't think much of it at first," Xie Fan said. Xie Fan said, "After all, the Hongjing Bay Villa District is just a small, inconspicuous building under our group. If you didn't insist on staying in Chengdu after graduation, Master wouldn't have specially expanded the group's business here."
Xie Fan did not forget to put in a good word for his boss even now.
Xie Rushuang glared at him. "Cut the crap. Get to the point!"
"Okay, okay, okay. Miss, don't be anxious. The main point is coming soon." Xie Fan gave her a calm look and said, "After the villa area was taken over by the 13th Military Region, a full curfew was implemented. The reason was that there was an unknown epidemic, and no outsiders were allowed to enter."
"This is a common trick used by the military. It's not worth mentioning. In fact, in the thousands of villas that our group has opened across the country in the past two years, similar situations have happened four or five times before.
But in the past, the military takeover would be resolved within three hours at most. But this time, it has been going on for two days and two nights, and it still hasn't been withdrawn. "
"Miss, you also know that those who can live in the Hongjing Bay villa area are basically the influential people in Chengdu. Now that their families have lost contact and their lives are unknown, more and more people are calling Master to ask for help."
"Stop!" Xie Rushuang waved her hand to interrupt Xie Fan. She could guess what was going to happen next. "You just said that similar things happened in other places before this? Are you sure? "
Xie Fan looked at Xie Rushuang bitterly and raised his hand to touch his hair. He didn't want to talk to her.
"Either speak or scram. It's your choice!"
B * tches are so pretentious!
Xie Rushuang didn't give him any face. Xie Fan hurriedly came over with a smile. "I'll speak, I'll speak. Miss, please don't be angry. I'll speak, okay?"
He came with a mission this time. If he didn't trick Xie Rushuang into going back, Master would probably break his legs.
Xie Fan raised his hand and opened his personal optical computer. After a few clicks on the virtual screen, he opened a video for Xie Rushuang.
"This is a surveillance video that I specially edited. In the past two years, there have been a total of five occurrences, and they were all similar to supernatural investigations. But there were no casualties in the previous five occurrences. It was far less dangerous than the one in the Hongjing Bay villa area this time. "
Xie Rushuang's gaze fell on the video.
The recording time in the upper right corner showed.
AM: 10: 23: 09
A meter-long spotted koi fish suddenly leaped out of the ornamental pond. Its pair of pelvic fins propped up the ground, and it actually walked upright like a penguin.
Not only were the surrounding residents not afraid, they even excitedly took out their phones to record the scene. It was only when the koi fish suddenly revealed its razor-sharp teeth that they panicked and fled.
The video screen went black.
A second later, a new image appeared.
PM: 14: 23: 09
In the courtyard of a villa, a withered grapevine wrapped around a flower rack suddenly sprouted new leaves. In two minutes, it grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A middle-aged woman, who was drinking afternoon tea under the grape trellis and basking in the winter sun, stared at all of this with her mouth agape. It was not until two minutes later that the vines became thicker and thicker, and the branches and leaves became more and more luxuriant. When the vines were about to crush the entire trellis, she hurriedly got up and ran out of the yard.
In the next half an hour, the grapevine did not stop growing. Its branches crushed the flower rack and began to spread and climb to the nearby houses. It was only when its trunk grew to more than a meter thick and its branches surrounded the entire villa that it gradually stopped growing.
The third video took place in March last year. In a certain villa, a Pekingese suddenly went berserk. Its body size doubled, and it began to attack other pets around it, devouring their corpses.
The fourth video took place in August of last year. In a certain villa area, there was a fat cat with a height of one meter running around and hunting for food. Sometimes, it would even sneak into the houses of the residents and steal food from the kitchen and fridge.
However, when it saw humans, it would hide far away and had no intention of attacking.
The fifth video took place at the beginning of this year. Two huge monsters suddenly appeared in a certain villa area. One was still a house cat, and the other was a giant rat.
Their bodies were obviously bigger than the animals in the previous three videos. The giant rat was half the height of an adult when it stood up straight, and the house cat was two meters long.
Unexpectedly, these two species, which were natural enemies, not only did not attack each other, they even traveled together and hunted other animals together.
When the security guards in the villa area tried to attack and expel them, they even showed some intention of attacking, showing their fangs and claws as they confronted the security guards.
After watching these videos, Xie Rushuang's hands and feet turned cold.
It turned out that what happened in the Hongjing Bay villa area was not an isolated case. It turned out that there were already signs in other places before this!
The time of the sudden incident in the videos was getting closer and closer. The monsters in the videos were also getting stronger and more aggressive. The military and the government had clearly discovered it long ago, but why had they never announced it?
Even when such a tragedy happened in the Hongjing Bay villa area this time, they were still under martial law and were unwilling to disclose any information to the outside world.
This was a serious dereliction of duty. This was disregarding human life!
"Miss, you've seen it too. This is only the villa area in our group. There must be more of such things happening in other places."
"This world has become a little different now. Not only animals and plants, but even humans have also undergone some supernatural mutations.
Just now, the municipal government has drafted the number one document regarding the ban on pets in the city and the hunting of stray animals in the city. It will be released immediately at dawn. "
"Miss, I'm not trying to scare you on purpose. There are estimated to be close to 100,000 pets in Chengdu, and there are countless stray cats, dogs, snakes, and rats. It's impossible to kill them all in a day or two. It's too dangerous for you to live alone now!"
Xie Fan began a new round of persuasion. "Master is really worried about your safety. This time, please come back with me. I'm begging you!"
"The municipal government has already taken action? That's some progress. "
Xie Rushuang's expression changed as she did not doubt Xie Fan's source of information. She could not help but think of Yang Fan, who was suspected of killing 108 pets without permission two days ago. Then, she thought of Yang Fan's anonymous doomsday post.
It was laughable that she had thought that Yang Fan was worrying for nothing and had a classic case of persecution paranoia.
Now it seemed that the truly ignorant and laughable person was herself. Yang Fan was just doing his best to warn and protect the ignorant humans in this city.
Yang Fan had mentioned in the Doomsday Post that the power of the apocalypse would cover the sky and cover the earth, like a torrential river, its momentum was unstoppable.
Even if humans were vigilant, it was impossible to wipe out all the creatures in the world.
The cruelest law of survival in the natural world had been quietly activated. Firearms and nuclear bombs would gradually lose their original deterrent power.
If they didn't want to become food for the Demonic Beasts, and if they didn't want their race to go extinct, they could only pick up the path of martial arts again. They had to constantly use the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to temper themselves, and strive to have the ability to protect themselves in this apocalyptic world.
In the beginning, Xie Rushuang was a little dismissive. No matter how good one's martial arts were, could they dodge bullets? No matter how fierce monsters were, they could never be a match for modern armies.
But now, after witnessing the ferocity and brutality of the Demonic Beasts, and seeing Yang Fan's superb skill in killing the Demonic Beasts like slaughtering chickens, she no longer thought so.
Now, everything had just begun, and monsters already had such powerful strength. If they were given a certain amount of time to grow, would they not be afraid of firearms as Yang Fan said?
Perhaps, she really needed to find a master to learn the traditional martial arts of Huaxia.
"Okay." With a decision in her heart, Xie Rushuang did not hesitate and nodded. "I'll go back with you!"
There was no lack of martial arts experts in Huaxia in the Xie family's bodyguard group. They were all grandmasters with real skills. Asking them to teach her would definitely be more powerful than the half-baked Luohan Fist that Yang Fan left in the post.
Xie Fan was stunned.
She agreed so easily?
This was very ungrateful of Xie Rushuang.
"Then, shall I help you pack your luggage?"
Xie Fan asked carefully.
Xie Rushuang waved her hand. "No need. There's nothing to bring. Let's go!"
Xie Rushuang took the lead and walked out. Xie Fan was overjoyed and followed behind.
The helicopter was parked on the top floor. After the two of them got in, the propellers began to spin and took off. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the night sky.
