“Aren’t you guys about to set off?” Tang Susu stood up and looked at the frowning, handsome man. “What beast?”
Tang Mingqi lowered his voice. “I use this as an excuse to come back. I heard from Bo Yanhui that you beat up a few people yesterday. But that metal manipulator is the younger brother of another earth manipulator. He found a T3 crystal core with great difficulty to awaken his brother’s superpower, but you crippled him as soon as he awakened. I saw he wasn’t there just now, so be careful!”
“How many people are going this time?” Tang Susu was worried about the people who had gone out.
“Me, dad, Cheng Cheng, Bai Yanhui, another metal manipulator, a few thugs, bodyguards, and ordinary people. There are only 15 people in total. The leader is that metal manipulator, Yuan Jin.” It was also during the gathering just now that Tang Mingqi saw who was there and who wasn’t. If it wasn’t for Bai Yanhui’s sudden reminder, he wouldn’t have known that Susu had gone out and injured someone yesterday.
“I think that Bai Yanhui is not that bad,” Tang Susu said. “If possible, stay on good terms with him. There’s no harm to that.”
Tang Mingqi understood what she meant. He couldn’t help but pat her head like his big brother. “Don’t worry about us. Pay attention to your safety at home. A few people died, but I don’t know what kind of mutant beast sneaked in and ate their internal organs. A few bodies have just been moved out.”
“The Shack District?” Tang Susu furrowed her brows. She felt uneasy.
“Yes, so you must be careful.” In all honesty, Tang Mingqi didn’t want to go.
Qingzhou was a long and narrow strip, and the shelter was chosen to be in a remote place, nearly 100 kilometers from the city center. If they encountered any problems on the way, they could not make it back in time. Not to mention, besides collecting supplies, they also had to contact the authorities.
“According to our plan, we’ll probably be back by noon tomorrow, but there are only a few metahumans left in the shelter…”
“It’s fine.” Tang Susu stuffed a bunch of talismans into his hands. “I have mom and Mingchu with me. You and dad don’t have superpowers, so you need to keep some for self-defense.”
Just as Tang Mingqi wanted to stuff them back, someone came from outside and urged him to set off quickly. He was afraid of being seen, so he instantly put it into his pocket dimension.
“Do you still have more?”
“Of course. Go.” Seeing that he was reluctant to be parted with her, Tang Susu pushed him out. “Don’t get separated from Cheng Cheng and Bai Yanhui. Some problems can only be solved by metahumans!”
This was also the reason why the Tang family was so eager to awaken their superpowers. Tang Mingqi looked upstairs. “It’s the third day. Big brother should wake up soon, right?”
Tang Mingchu looked at the person who was pushed away and grinned so widely that all of them could see his teeth. “Susu, you must like me more, right? That’s why you asked Tang Mingqi to go, right?”
“Because if you follow dad, I don’t know if you’ll be taking care of him or if he’ll be taking care of you.”

After cleaning up the dishes, Tang Susu asked Mrs. Tang and Xiaoyuan to stay at home, and then she went to the shack district with her third brother to see what was causing trouble.
When she reached the fork in the road, she ran into Lu Yunxiang and Mr. Duan.
There was a large group of people behind them, discussing something excitedly. It was a sharp contrast to their reactions. At this moment, their faces were a little tense, as if they were facing a great enemy.
“There will be people coming over as guests later. You guys should come too. We’ll go and pick them up. We’ve also prepared a lot of food.”
Mr. Duan spoke to the two of them in a positive tone, as if he was certain that they could not resist the temptation of food.
Tang Susu, who had been eating different kinds of food every day for a week, asked, “Who’s coming?”
“Just come along,” the two of them hurriedly finished their words and strode towards the door.
Tang Mingchu held back his anger and snorted. “What are they so proud of? But they don’t take us seriously, so… About big brother?”
Tang Susu naturally hoped that they didn’t take it to heart. She couldn’t kill everyone just because she gave herself away, especially when the person didn’t show any malice.
As long as they weren’t a threat, Tang Susu would be fine. Otherwise, she would definitely not show mercy!
When the two of them arrived at the scene of the incident, they happened to see Du Gang pulling his daughter to move to another house.
“The accident happened in this house?” She stopped the man who avoided her eyes as soon as he saw her and instantly thought of what she had heard through her earphones last night.
At first, she thought that it was someone eating or doing something shady. She wasn’t in the mood to be so nosy, but she was a little upset that she didn’t investigate it. Otherwise, if any hidden dangers remained, that could pose a threat to them.
“I don’t know. When I woke up this morning, I saw Wang Ping’s body lying next to me. His eyes were wide open, and his body was cut open, leaving only a pile of intestines…” As he was thinking back, Du Gang suddenly bent over and retched twice, feeling a strong sense of fear.
The other people around them also started to panic. “The chief and the others sent people to carry the body away and then there was nothing. What does this mean? We haven’t caught that thing yet. Maybe it’s hiding somewhere and will come out to eat people at night!”
Tang Susu furrowed her brows. This thing knew how to hide? Or was it a nocturnal animal?
She walked into the shack where the incident had happened. There was only one window inside, but it was sealed shut. A musty smell and the rancid smell of sweat from people who hadn’t bathed for a long time violated her sense of smell!
The people who had lived here for a long time were numb to it, but she was so smothered that she couldn’t even smell the blood inside.
Tang Mingchu followed her closely, guarding against any danger that might appear at any time. The two of them walked around a few times. They even searched the corners, but they found nothing.
“It doesn’t feel like a mutated beast…”
“What do you mean?” Tang Mingchu could not figure it out. “Is it a mutated plant?”
“I have to check the wounds on the body first, or wait here for the thing to come out.” Tang Susu lowered her voice as if she was guarding against any suspicious things around her. This made Tang Mingchu nervous.
“Shall we come back tonight?”
However, Tang Susu felt it was quite dangerous if she did that. She could only let the system check what it was at night.
After she went out, she immediately saw a group of people, men and women, young and old, looking at them with longing eyes. “Did you find anything? ”
Tang Susu didn’t want to meddle in other people’s affairs, but she couldn’t watch these people die without a reason.
“Where are the people from the shelter? Is no one taking care of you? At least, they’ll arrange for you a new place to live, right?”
“Who said there’s no one?” Almost immediately after she said that, a deep voice sounded. “Aren’t I here now?”
His nonchalant tone was full of contempt. Tang Susu looked over and saw that this person was holding a woman’s neck and walking toward her from the direction where she had fought yesterday.
She squinted her peach-shaped eyes and recognized this woman as the lady she had saved yesterday.
Then this burly man was obviously the earth manipulator that her second brother had mentioned, the elder brother of the metal manipulator that she had crippled!
The earth manipulator was called Zhou Jun. He smiled at the crowd and said, “But you have to wait for me to deal with my personal affairs before I can solve the problem for you. Don’t you think we should solve this problem as soon as possible so that we can eliminate the danger for you earlier?”
“Yes, yes!” When these people saw him, they immediately became respectful, even with a little fawning. “Mr. Zhou, you can deal with whatever private matters you have, as long as you don’t leave us alone!”
“My personal affairs arc very simple. I only needed her word. You can ask her if she’s willing to….”
