Old Mo drove the bus in the wind and the snow. They went all the way east according to the map. It was nearly midnight when they finally reached the easternmost part of the city.
It was full of low-rise factories and warehouses. Many of the street lights were broken and the light was dim. The geographical location was remote and there were almost no shopping malls or residential areas. It looked particularly desolate at night.
Yu Hanjiang had been looking out the window. He found a low factor building on the large open space in front and whispered, "Old Mo, stop."
Old Mo found a place to slowly stop the bus. He looked through the driver's window outside and asked, "Group Leader Yu, are you planning to use this space as the base?"
Yu Hanjiang let go of Xiao Lou's hand, glanced at Xiao Lou and got up. "You stay on the bus. I will go down and see."
He got off the back door, took out a lantern for light and flew to the top of the factory with the copied light footwork card to look around. The ground was covered with snow. There were no footprints in the whiteness, no footprints left by any living creatures.
Even if the bugs crawled quickly, they would definitely leave traces on the ground. There were no traces which proved that it should be safe. Yu Hanjiang returned to the bus and explained softly, "We have reached the most remote area of the city. This factory building should be a logistics company or the warehouse of a farmer's market. There are no footprints nearby. It is obvious that no one has been here since it started snowing tonight."
The team gathered by the window to look out. The factory area was very large. It was a flat building and this flat building was more convenient for them to stay in and escape. After all, they would suffer due to the bugs' climbing ability. It was easy to be attacked from the air if there were high-rise buildings.
Yu Hanjiang simply made a decision. "We will stay here. It is late. We will settle down to rest and talk tomorrow."
No one had any objections to Group Leader Yu's decision and immediately got off the bus with their school bags.
Old Mo locked the door and everyone lined up to follow Yu Hanjiang to the factory door.
The door was locked and it was from the inside.
Yu Hanjiang lowered his voice. "There are people inside. Everyone, be careful."
He waved his hand to signal for his teammates to retreat. He followed up by having Xiao Lou cut a slender ring into a wire. He inserted the wire into the door slot and moved it a few times before the door actually opened.
The team members stared at Group Leader Yu with disbelief. They hadn't expected him to actually use a wire to unlock a door!
Yu Hanjiang made a 'shh' gesture and opened the door. He carried the lantern in front to illuminate the way for everyone. Everyone consciously arranged themselves in rows of two. They paid attention to the air, the sides and behind them.
In the empty factory building, everyone's footsteps were heard. The door was locked from the inside so there must be someone in here. This made everyone unable to relax their vigilance.
The eight people were keenly observing their surroundings as they walked deeper into the factory. They walked for a long time but didn't even find a ghost in the factory. How was the door locked? Everyone was puzzled. As a result, Yu Hanjiang's eyes narrowed and he suddenly kicked over a box next to him. He glared sharply at the back of the box and called out, "Who is it? Come out!"
His low voice echoed in the warehouse. Behind the box, a figure shook with fear. Under the light of the lantern, the dark shadow seemed to be trembling. Ye Qi instantly pulled out his flute, prepared to play the flute if the man attacked everyone.
