Chapter 416 - 416: A New Route and the White Rose (Part 3)
Or, if Mingqi and the others will lead these people back to the shelter. That was another alternative.
The problem was that Tang Susu didn’t know that there would be a tsunami. She had already promised them and if she suddenly went back on her word, they would definitely feel dejected. She was also worried about letting them take such a path.
After combining all the factors, Tang Susu pointed to the black line on the map.
“Hongyan Forest.”
The entire place went silent.
“I’ll be taking this route. It’s dangerous, but it’ll definitely take less time than the alternative route. We’ve been away from Chongzhou for too long, and I’m worried about my family there. I want to go back as soon as possible. You can choose to take the safer route.”
Everyone remained silent and stared at her blankly. They knew little about the Hongyan Forest, but at the inn in Fengxi City, they had asked about many things, including this Hongyan Forest.
They described it with very few words.
A place of no return.
Because that world belonged to mutated plants.
Although they rarely saw any mutated plants in the city, no one dared to ignore the lethality of these things. Once they appeared, they were huge, like monsters and more terrifying than zombies!
“Miss Tang, although we delayed a lot, we should be more careful when we go back!” Someone couldn’t help but advise her. They didn’t even know why she changed her mind. Back then, she didn’t seem to have considered this path at all.
Tang Susu didn’t want them to take the risks with her, but would they be safe from danger if they didn’t?
The incident with the T4 zombie was a wake-up call for her.
In comparison, she was more confident when she was taking the lead. And it wasn’t like she didn’t have a chance of winning. She was confident in leading them into Hongyan Forest.
But before that, she would have to first make ample preparations!
“Those of us who came to Shichang City first will most likely take this route. You can consider it and give me an answer tomorrow morning. We should make a move by tomorrow.”
The two brothers looked at her. They thought she would leave later in the afternoon.
Tang Susu had originally planned to do that. But tonight, she needed to level up again!
It just so happened that tonight would be the third day and she could level up. She wanted to add some more insurance.
In the afternoon, she asked her family and a few teammates to help her with something.
These were the preparations that they had to make before entering the Hongyan Forest. Warm clothes, heating equipment, as well as various medicines to deal with anything like altitude sickness. And, of course, the more valuables they could get, the better.
The others watched as the Tang family, Bai Yanhui, and the others became busy as they became nervous themselves.
It was going to be terrifying to go to Hongyan Forest. It was also going to be terrifying to separate from Miss Tang. No matter how they chose, they would never be able to make the right choice.
However, there were also some people who were very determined. For example, some of them were not afraid of death. They felt they could still get so many things that Miss Tang had given to their families as compensation, even if they died. They had earned it!
As for the members of the Victory Squad, they would definitely follow their captain. Liang Jun also firmly brought the Wind Squad along.
The few Metahumans from the shelter thought about it seriously for the entire afternoon. After all kinds of rational analysis, it was still safer to stick with Miss Tang!
Tang Susu, on the other hand, seemed to have already known their choice and wasn’t worried about it.
She then asked 008, ‘Have you found her?’
‘She’s near the villa.’
‘She didn’t leave?’ Tang Susu raised her eyebrow, not surprised by this result.
‘She seems to wait for someone and is getting a little anxious.’
Tang Susu glanced at Liang Jun, who was talking to He Qiang not far away. She stood up and walked out without batting an eyelid.
The villa that Changming found was quite huge. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to accommodate so many people.
She walked around the garden, around the villa to the back. There were flowers everywhere. It was almost Fall, but it was still as lively as Spring.
Especially the rear window, Tang Susu realized it was filled with white roses!
Every flower was in full bloom as they fluttered in the wind. The flower buds and leaves seemed to have absorbed enough nutrients and were all quite plump. If she opened the window, she would be able to enjoy such an otherworldly view.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t in the mood to appreciate such scenery all those days. She had simply gone back to her room to wash up and sleep every single day.
If it wasn’t for her spontaneity, she would never have found that there was a field of brilliant white roses here, perhaps waiting for her to admire.
Tang Susu couldn’t help but bend down. She wanted to take a whiff of the fragrance of the flowers, but unexpectedly, she caught a whiff of a familiar scent.
Shen Zhiting’s blood…
After a moment of silence, she stretched out her fingertips and gently took a pinch of soil from the flower bed.
As the moisture had already fused with the soil, she couldn’t really tell. However, she licked it suddenly, as if driven by a primal force.
Her bright eyes instantly became blurry.
The girl half-kneeled among the white roses, her eyes lowered. Her fingertips were dipped in the flower soil, and she licked it with her tongue.
So captivating!
“Come out!” Her voice was ice cold.
After a while, Liang Jun rubbed his nose and appeared from behind the wall. He saw Tang Susu standing there expressionlessly, and there was no trace of the strangeness from before.
“I’m sorry…”
“Are you worried that something will happen to Sang Rou?” Tang Susu continued to walk forward as if she hadn’t stopped for the white roses or done anything strange.
Liang Jun hesitated for a moment and followed.” No.”
He just felt that Sang Rou had suddenly become a little strange and was afraid that she would harm Tang Susu. In comparison, he definitely trusted Tang Susu’s character.
“She…”
“Shush!” When they arrived at the place, Tang Susu suddenly dodged to the side and hid behind a wall.
Liang Jun quickly held his breath and looked over. He saw a handsome man walking towards Sang Rou, who was squatting in the corner.
“You were looking for me?”
