I am weak and friendly

Chapter 271 Something's Wrong with This Path! (3K, Ling Feng Sui Bonus Chapter 710)

"What? Where did he go?"

"Okay, I'll be there soon!"

On the 41st floor, Gao Ming received a phone call and immediately frowned.

Shen Hong was reading a newspaper on the sofa when he looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My colleague who stayed in the alley just said that Pingzi ran off with a few people. I'll go check it out now."

Shen Hong frowned immediately and put down the newspaper in his hand: "Did he discover something?"

"I don't know, he didn't tell us."

Gao Ming was somewhat helpless.

Tang Yiping was not one of their members, so naturally he did not need to take their orders.

Gao Ming didn't want Tang Yiping to always act alone, but it was obvious that Tang Yiping had many secrets and many powers that he didn't understand, and Tang Yiping certainly wouldn't tell him everything in detail.

What exactly is their relationship with each other?

Just as Gao Ming finished speaking, his phone rang again.

"what?"

"okay, I get it."

"I'll go right away!"

He turned to Shen Hong and reported:

"My colleagues at the scene said they disappeared in the blink of an eye!"

Shen Hong suddenly stood up and walked outside.

Gao Ming waved, signaling a few of his more agile friends to hurry up and follow.

Several people got into two cars and sped off toward the warehouse.

When they were almost at the warehouse, he called the colleague who had stayed behind: "We're almost there, have you found them yet?"

"No, I'll wait for you at the intersection," said the colleague who stayed behind.

"Okay." Gao Ming hung up the phone and then focused on looking at the roadside. However, he didn't see any of his colleagues who were staying behind when he arrived at the alley where the warehouse was located.

Gao Ming and his partner in the driver's seat exchanged a glance, both sensing something was amiss, and became alert.

He turned to look at the back seat, where Shen Hong leaned forward as well.

Both were seasoned veterans, and Shen Hong sensed a tense atmosphere. He reached into his backpack and grasped something.

“Make a phone call,” Shen Hong said.

Gao Ming took out his phone and dialed a number. A few seconds later, his colleague answered.

"Where are you? I'm waiting for you at the alley entrance." The voice was calm and normal, without the slightest abnormality.

“We’re right at the entrance of the alley,” Gao Ming said.

"How could that be? I'm right at the entrance of the alley. There's a red sign there that says 'Li's Nuts,' and I'm right under it..."

Gao Ming looked at "Li Family Nuts" on the left.

Under the red sign, a man was carrying a two- or three-year-old child as he came out of the store.

Beside it, a deep alleyway.

This is not right.

This is very wrong.

What's the matter?

"Password," Gao Ming said.

"The boss is reading the newspaper," the other person said.

“I’ve broken the sofa,” Gao Ming continued.

"Password approved."

"Password approved."

The password is correct.

So what's going on?

Gao Ming was even more puzzled.

Shen Hong raised his head and frowned as he looked at Gao Ming.

Wait, what's with your password today?

Doesn't this password require my approval?

"What's going on?" The person opposite Gao Ming seemed puzzled as they checked the password.

“We’re right where you said we were, but we don’t see you,” Gao Ming said.

The other party remained silent, seemingly also surprised by the news.

The phone went quiet, with only a slight hissing sound coming from inside.

Gao Ming waved his hand, and then he and another young man in the back seat got out of the car almost at the same time, quickly walking a few meters away from the car, one in front and one behind, keeping watch.

It was already noon.

At midday, the streets were quiet and deserted.

Sometime later, the man holding the child also disappeared.

There were no cars, no people, not a breath of wind, and even the trees were still, like a frozen portrait.

It was as if I had suddenly entered another world.

It created a strange sense of unfamiliarity and eeriness.

The sun was high in the sky, scorching hot at midday, with an absurd heat, but Gao Ming felt cold all over, and his back was covered in a layer of cold sweat.

The world was eerily quiet, and there was no sound from my phone, only static that sounded like electricity.

Gao Ming felt a prickly sensation on his back, as the hairs on his back stood up.

What's the situation?
What's going on?
Did we... wander into a place we shouldn't have gone?
Is this the other world?

still is……

He turned around and saw that Shen Hong was also trying to get out of the car. He quickly waved to Shen Hong, telling him not to leave the car.

It's dangerous outside!

Just then, he heard a sound coming from his phone again.

At first, there was a faint electrical hum and the sound was somewhat electronic, as if it had been interfered with. After a few seconds, the sound returned to normal.

"Oh, I see! You must have turned the wrong corner earlier. Go back the way you came, walk forward about ten meters, then turn right and you'll see me." Just as the voice on the phone finished, Gao Ming saw a car drive up from the opposite direction, then a second, then a third…

The man carrying the child pushed out a stroller from a corner, put the child in the stroller, and pushed it forward. In the alley next door, two elderly people carrying plastic bags came out of a vegetable shop at the entrance of the alley.

I don't know when, but the sounds of cicadas, traffic, wind, footsteps, and voices all returned. It seemed like just a moment ago, but the eerie silence disappeared, and my ears were filled with an unreal, bustling noise.

clever:"???"

what's the situation?
He and his two companions, who were on guard duty one in front of the other, exchanged glances and could see the confusion in each other's eyes.

Several cars drove by in the opposite direction, and behind them, someone honked their horn to urge them on.

They parked on the side of the road, blocking the way.

Gao Ming and his friend exchanged a glance, waved, and the two returned to the car.

"What's going on?" Shen Hong asked.

“…” Gao Ming remained silent for a few seconds.

Shen Hong looked at him.

“You’ve taken the wrong turn,” Gao Ming said. “Go back the way you came, then go forward 10 meters and turn right.”

"Huh?" The driver looked down at the navigation, then looked up at his left and right. "I remember this is the place, how could we have gone the wrong way? And the navigation didn't..."

Just as I finished speaking, the navigation system suddenly warned: "You have deviated from your course and the route has been replanned..."

"It might be... navigation drift," Gao Ming said.

They turned around and left, returning to the entrance of the alley. They saw the traffic light changing, with a long line of cars stopped at the red light.

Gao Ming looked back and saw that the road, which had been as quiet as a chicken coop, was now bustling with traffic.

It seems that all the vehicles were stopped by the traffic lights just now, which is why there were no cars in the alley.

And everyone happened to be indoors, so there was no one on the street.

It just so happens that there was no wind, no cicadas chirping, and no other sounds.

It just so happens.

The driver turned right at the next intersection and saw his colleague standing under the red sign at the entrance of the alley.

The same sign, very similar roads, only ten meters apart...

We really just took the wrong turn.

Gao Ming heard this from the back row, and his colleague who had gotten off the bus with him earlier breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haha, you guys got lost too! I got lost when I came to relieve you today, it gave me quite a fright," a colleague said, then waved and pointed to the alley behind him, saying, "They were just inside, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye..."

My colleague lowered his voice and said, "They didn't go in, did they?"

How could Gao Ming know? He simply waved his hand, signaling everyone to come with him to take a look.

As he walked, he overheard his friends and colleagues who had stayed behind discussing things in hushed tones.

"It's only ten meters apart, how come there are two alleys that look so similar..." the driver said. "I followed the navigation exactly, but I still went the wrong way."

"Isn't it several tens of meters apart?" asked the colleague who stayed behind.

"Ten meters, the ten meters you said..."

"I was referring to several tens of meters."

Gao Ming stopped and looked at his colleagues who were discussing behind him.

He clearly remembered that his colleague said ten meters, and they had indeed only driven ten meters just now.

"Wh...what's wrong?" His two colleagues felt uneasy under his gaze.

"It's nothing," Gao Ming said, as he walked to the end of the alley and strolled around.

The main gate, which was supposed to be between the breakfast shop and the small supermarket, was still nowhere to be seen. Several people shouted "Tang Tongxue" a few times, but no one answered. They asked a nearby shop owner, who also said that he had not seen Tang Yiping and his group come over.

Did you really see Tang?

“Yes, they flashed by here and then disappeared…” said the colleague who stayed behind. “I called out to them, but they didn’t seem to hear me. By the time I caught up with them, they were gone.”

Gao Ming subconsciously licked his lips, then turned to look at the entrance of the alley.

Then he turned and ran.

They ran out of the alley following the path they came from and headed towards another alley.

Strange, it was only ten meters away just now, but from this side it looks at least 50 meters away.

He had only run a few steps when he suddenly heard a voice behind him:
"Hey? What are you doing here? I was just looking for you!"

Gao Ming turned around and saw Tang Yiping, Lola, and Stoka standing behind him waiting for the red light, as if they had been standing behind him for a long time.

“I should be asking you that too, what are you doing here?” Gao Ming asked.

"We just went to check on the warehouse," Tang Yiping said. "When did you arrive? We didn't see you earlier..."

I also want to say this to you.

What are you going to do now?

"The signal inside isn't very good, I'll go out and call you," Tang Yiping said. "The warehouse door is open!"

nonsense!

Where did the warehouse door open?
When we looked just now, there wasn't even a door to the warehouse!

"Now that you're here, I don't need to look for you anymore," Tang Yiping said. "Let's go, let's go!"

With that, he led Gao Ming back.

As they walked, Tang Yiping asked, "Why are you the only one here? Where are the others?"

"Many of us came together."

"Where are they?"

Yes, where are they?
Gao Ming remembered clearly that he had come out of this alley, but there were no companions of his in the alley.

He made the call, and it was answered very quickly.

"I've found Tang! Where are you guys?"

“We’re right there in that alley,” the other person replied.

Gao Ming was silent for a moment, then said, "No matter which alley you come from, come to another alley."

He paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Be careful and stay safe."

He felt something was wrong here.

It's not right.
