Chapter 4608: 3.0360 Startled at Every Turn

That giant rock, pressing on her chest, made her feel an inexplicable discomfort. Qiao Mu was very familiar with this feeling. In her previous life, when danger was imminent, she always had a sense of premonition. Just like this current situation.

Qi Xuanxuan's face was solemn, adopting an air of facing a formidable enemy. Her hands were clasped in front of her as she cautiously looked around. "Qiao Qiao, should we still go in?"

Everyone looked at her, twitching the corners of their mouths. This person seemed to have a strange, unwavering faith in Lord Qiao Qiao. As soon as Qiao Qiao said she sensed danger, this person immediately took it seriously, instantly putting on a grave expression ready for battle, as if a lion would leap out at them any second.

"Cough, cough, Xuanxuan." Little Fatty awkwardly pulled back his wife's small hand.

"What?" Qi Xuanxuan still wore a defensive look, glancing sideways at everyone. She huffed, "Don't you dare doubt this. Based on my understanding of Qiao Qiao, what she says isn't necessarily unfounded!"

Qiao Qiao's various intuitions were chillingly accurate. In short, they had to be constantly vigilant and prepared for any eventuality.

"Let's go in and see." All hundred small teams of the Sky-Slaying Transport Team had already entered, so Qiao Mu naturally couldn't stay outside with her people waiting for news. She was never one to let her comrades fight alone.

"Rong Qing, send a message to the Sky-Slaying Transport teams. Tell them not to move if they encounter anything they can't identify, but to send us a message immediately so we can decide what to do."

Young Master Rong nodded. As he walked, he instructed his personal guards to send messages to the various Sky-Slaying Transport teams.

The group entered the coastal fishing village. At first glance, they saw that the village was quite large. On both sides were brick houses, and looking ahead, there were hundreds of stone houses tightly packed together. Many homes had some dried sea fish hanging outside their doors, though they looked like they had been there for some days and were completely desiccated.

Qiao Mu and her group slowly entered the village, walking in single file along a central dirt path. Perhaps it was Qi Xuanxuan's constant vigilance and suspicious demeanor that affected them, but everyone felt a slight prickle of unease.

Suddenly, a faint sound came from the left, like a taut string suddenly being half-severed. Ah Li jolted as if he'd been electrocuted, letting out a startled cry.

Without a word, Little Stoic kicked his shin, muttering, "What are you screaming about? Do you want to attract everything hiding in the dark?"

She was utterly annoyed with these people. Every time they were on an operation, there were always some idiots yelling and shouting in the team, as if they had never seen the world. Corpses and puppets had been around for so many years now; shouldn't they have thoroughly understood what needed to be seen and understood? In a world like this, if you wanted to survive, shouldn't you figure out the habits of the corpses and puppets?

Ah Li's face completely darkened. "I, I…"

"You what, you?" Qiao Mu cast a sidelong glance at Ming Yasi. "Control your idiotic brother."

Ah Si: …

What's with this sudden feeling of losing face?

"Brother!" Ah Li looked at his older brother with a wronged expression.

Ming Yasi irritably raised a hand and slapped him. "Why were you screaming just now?"

"I saw, saw some movement over there, right, right there," Ah Li pointed at the nearby brick-and-earth wall.
