Chapter 35 The Female Lead Cries for Help? (2/2)

None of the staff inside survived. When our people went to investigate, they found that black fog was emanating from the innermost part of the flower market. People who inhaled this fog would experience symptoms such as sluggishness and dizziness.

The reason we're looking for Miss Ye is because the Chief sent us to find you, saying you might know what that is. After all, the plants there are too important to be damaged.

Ye Ling: "I don't know what the black mist is."

[What kind of time is this to be concerned about flower markets? The whole country is gripped by despair, and you're still bothering with this? You must have a lot of free time.]

Ye Jingyan explained to her in a low voice, "The North District Flower Market is one of the most important flower markets in our country. It has many precious and rare plants. Every time a state banquet is held, the flowers that appear come from the North District."

Ye Ling quickly asked in a low voice, "You don't mean I should put those things in my spatial storage, do you?"

Ye Jingyan shook his head: "No, there are underground planting sites. Since your uncle asked you to go, let's go together and take a look, and practice with the strange creatures while we're at it."

"Once we've mastered controlling our abilities, we can set off to find your second brother."

Ye Ling nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll follow your instructions, brother."

Ye Jingyan asked the others, and Wen Yanchen said, "Didn't you want her to take you somewhere? You two can go with them."

We need to go back to our space to rest and recuperate. This is a good opportunity to discuss the issues we encountered during the battle.

Ye Jingyan nodded: "Then let's go back to the car first, and then go into the space."

On her way to the North District Flower Market, Ye Ling received a call from an unknown number.

She answered the unfamiliar number from the capital city, but before she could even speak, she heard an urgent voice on the other end: "Ye Ling, it's me, Lin Lan."

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow. [Why did Lin Lan call me? What's she plotting this time?]

Ye Ling was about to hang up the phone. She dared not get involved with the female lead. If she didn't get close to her, she still had a chance to live. But if she got close, she didn't know what kind of accident was waiting for her.

"Don't hang up. Ye Ling, I know you have the ability. I beg you to come and save me. If you save me, I can tell you the secrets about the apocalypse."

Ye Ling: "Oh~"

When Lin Lan heard her reply with just an "oh," she was about to collapse. She lowered her voice and said, "Don't give me that 'oh'! Aren't you curious about how these strange creatures appeared? Also, Shen Xing has awakened his superpowers, and he's going to deal with you, do you know that?"

Ye Ling: "Oh. Anything else?"

[Who cares about how bizarre creatures come into being? That's a matter for the government to focus on. Why should an ordinary citizen like me care about that? Staying alive is the most important thing.]

As for the male lead, hasn't he been targeting us all along? It's been going on for more than just a day or two.

A smile flashed in Ye Jingyan's eyes as he sat to the side; his sister was truly terrified of death.

Through observation over the past few days, it has been found that apart from food and survival issues, she doesn't seem to have any particular desires for anything else.

"besides?"

Lin Lan raised her voice, then lowered it: "Ye Ling, are you really not afraid of death? Several superhumans have appeared around Shen Xing, all of them combat-type. Aren't you afraid of death? Aren't you afraid that something might happen to your older brother and the others?"

Ye Ling scoffed, "I'm just afraid of dying, that's why I don't want to see you."

Suddenly, an image appeared in her mind.

Lin Lan, soaked to the bone, huddled in a tent with other people inside. She leaned against a corner, anxiously talking into her phone.

Two men beside her exchanged glances and kept glancing at Lin Lan, clearly plotting something.

For a moment, Ye Ling was stunned. Was this Lin Lan's current predicament?

She asked Lin Lan, "Where are you now? Aren't you afraid that talking about Shen Xing like that will upset him?"

Lin Lan moved further into the corner and whispered, "I'm outside. I borrowed this phone from someone else. Ye Ling, we used to be best friends. Are you really going to just stand by and watch me die?"
