At the municipal party committee's compound.
This place was the center of power in the entire West River. It could even be said that some people with too low a level could not enter.
The people who lived here should be glowing. Even if they were sick, someone would immediately drive the patient to the best hospital. Then, there would be servants who would clean the patient's room from inside to outside to not leave a trace of germs here.
But now, things were a little different.
"Old sh * t, quickly, take the medicine.”
In a magnificent house, a group of people were crowded here, watching a middle-aged man feeding medicine to an old man lying on a hospital bed.
The person lying on the bed was the previous chief of West River.
The old man had been friendly all his life and had never offended anyone. Instead, he had made many friends. Now that he was seriously ill, these people were all here to see him.
"Cough cough, Zetao, there's no need to go through so much trouble. We're family. I know my body best. You might as well let me die now.”
The old man lying on the bed struggled to sit up. The sitting posture seemed to make him feel better. After taking a few deep breaths, he actually said such a long string of words.
"Old Chief, you'll be fine. I don't know why those bugs have disappeared. We can ask Jason and the others to go to the pharmacy to find medicine.”
The middle-aged man's eyes turned red as he choked on his sobs.
Although he said that, the middle-aged man knew that the old man might not be able to make it through the night. He was already old. When the damn cosmic storm flashed past, the old man lay on the ground bleeding from all seven orifices.
In the past, there was heating and subterranean heating here at night. No matter how cold it was outside, there was no trace of coldness in the house.
However, after the cosmic storm, everything could not be used, whether it was geothermal or heating. That night, the old man covered himself with three layers of blankets, but he still caught a cold.
In addition, when those bugs had just descended, an sulfuric acid worm had descended beside the old chief. With a mouthful of sulfuric acid, it had melted the wife of the old chief of 50 years into a pile of charcoal.
Although the acid worm was beaten into meat paste by a group of bodyguards, the old chief was still shocked.
Although the middle-aged man said this, it was only to comfort himself.
The old sh * t had sheltered him from the wind and rain when he was young. He was like a father to him, but when he was old, he could not give the old sh * t a good ending.
"Daddy, there's someone outside."
At this moment, a little girl of eleven or twelve years old leaned against the window and said to the middle-aged man.
"Don't worry about it. I'm just looking for supplies."
The middle-aged man didn't take his daughter's words seriously. If he was told that someone was walking on the street during the bug rampage a few days ago, he would still be in disbelief.
But now, those bugs had disappeared. The people who had been hiding had come out to look for food and various supplies.
"Oh, Daddy, Daddy, she's coming this way.”
The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed when he heard this. It would be fine if they were just walking on the street, but it was different here.
Ever since he found out that the bugs had disappeared, he had sent some security guards to stand guard at the door to prevent thieves from coming in.
When most people saw the security guards at the door, they would quietly push them away and try not to cause trouble. The person who came over was the first one their daughter mentioned.
The middle-aged man, who instinctively felt that something was wrong, walked to the window and saw a white-haired beauty walking over.
The distance could not hide the woman's beauty. Even though the middle-aged man was standing on the second floor, he could vaguely see the woman's breathtakingly beautiful face.
The person who came was Li Jiayu.
……
"Do you want to stay here tonight?”
Li Jiayu, who was originally planning to rush to find her cousin's wife, suddenly changed her mind when she saw the municipal party committee's courtyard. She was prepared to stay here for the night.
"Oh, why?"
Zhang Rui asked excitedly after hearing Li Jiayu's words.
"I've never lived in such a high-end place in my life. In my previous life, although I was strong, everyone hated me. I basically lived in a coffin every day.”
Now, Li Jiayu was very natural when she said that she was reborn in front of Zhang Rui. She knew that Zhang Rui had the book of the past in his hands. Everything about her was not a secret in his eyes. In that case, she might as well admit it openly.
"Then go."
After understanding Li Jiayu's thoughts, Zhang Rui was happy to stay here for a night. After all, he had never stayed in such a high-end place.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary university student. Although he had become the Lord of Shadows in this life, the people of the Country of Shadows didn't need to sleep. Naturally, they didn't need a bed.
After getting Zhang Rui's approval, Li Jiayu walked in.
"Student, please stop."
Just as Li Jiayu was about to enter, a security guard appeared out of nowhere and blocked her way.
Li Jiayu was wearing the uniform of West River University, so the security guard naturally knew that Li Jiayu was a student of West River University.
However, Zhang Rui was a little angry.
Zhang Rui couldn't say anything if he had just blocked Li Jiayu's way. However, this guy's eyes were not honest and suddenly popped out. If it wasn't for Li Jiayu's terrifying control of her body, Li Jiayu would have fallen into the arms of this security guard.
"Hmph, you're courting death!"
Seeing this scene, Zhang Rui decided to let this stupid human experience what it meant to be as powerful as a prison.
Following Zhang Rui's anger, the shadow under the security guard suddenly grew bigger and enveloped the security guard's body. The security guard's body also descended.
Seeing Li Jiayu stand still, the security guard's eyes flashed with a trace of pity. Then, he was about to say something.
But looking at Li Jiayu who was getting higher and higher, the security guard finally realized his situation.
"What is this? Help!"
The moment he lowered his head, the security guard realized in horror that he had fallen into his own shadow, as if he had fallen into quicksand.
This strange scene made the security guard cry for help in horror. His cry for help attracted the attention of the other security guards, who all ran inside.
However, his voice also attracted the attention of some things in the shadows.
Just as the other security guards were about to pull him out, a whale-like cry sounded from the shadows.
Then, the security guard shouted and was dragged into the shadow. Then, a creepy chewing sound came from the shadow.
The rest of the people were scared out of their wits. A living person had disappeared in front of their eyes just like that. Other than a few bloodstains on the ground and a broken arm in the hand of a security guard, there was nothing left.
