The night passed slowly amid everyone's anxiety. The fog was still swirling outside the courtyard of the building, and continued to seep into the yard through the cracks in the door.

Liu Daxi and Liu Ye, who were standing by the window, didn't dare to blink their eyes, always alert to the changes in the fog.

Liu Ye rubbed her sore eyes and said to him in a low voice, "Brother Daxi, what on earth is this fog? Why does it stay here and not leave? It really makes me feel creepy."

Liu Daxi pursed his lips, still staring at the mist, and replied softly: "I don't know either. I just hope it won't get into the building again, otherwise everyone won't be able to sleep well."

Although the people lying in the house had their eyes closed, most of them were in a half-asleep and half-awake state.

Liu Qiang and Liu Danan also came out of bed at this time. They were the second group and it was their turn to be on guard at this time.

Liu Qiang and Liu Danan tiptoed to the window, patted Liu Daxi and Liu Ye on the shoulders, and whispered, "You two should go and rest for a while, we will take care of this."

Liu Daxi and Liu Ye then relaxed their tense bodies a little, took a deep breath, turned around and walked into the house, finding a place to lean back and close their eyes to rest.

Liu Qiang stood in front of the window, looking at the fog that kept seeping into the yard, frowning tightly, muttering: "This fog is really weird, it hasn't dissipated even after a whole night, and I don't know when it will end."

Liu Danan added some charcoal to the stove and whispered in agreement, "Yeah, it feels like something bad is going to happen with this fog. It's really unfortunate that it chose to happen during the Chinese New Year."

Fortunately, the night was peaceful. The sky gradually turned pale, but the fog showed no signs of dissipating. Instead, it seemed to be surging into the tower even more violently with the morning breeze.

Liu Qiang and Liu Danan's expressions became more and more solemn. They gripped their weapons tightly, stared at the fog intently, and prayed silently in their hearts that nothing unexpected would happen.

Time passed little by little, and the sun finally rose slowly from one end of the mountain, and the dazzling golden light began to shine on the earth.

As the sunlight gradually grew stronger, the white mist finally changed. The white mist, which had been so stubborn that it refused to dissipate, began to gradually dissipate as if it had met its nemesis.

Liu Qiang and Liu Danan were delighted when they saw this, and their nerves, which had been tense all night, finally relaxed a little.

The two of them turned around quickly and lowered their voices but anxiously called everyone to get up: "Everyone wake up, the fog is starting to dissipate, hurry up and take a look!"

Everyone was sleeping uneasily to begin with, and when they heard this, they all jumped up, rubbed their sleepy eyes, and hurried to the window.

The children also looked around curiously, chattering and asking if the danger was over.

Nanny Yang was old but slept lightly. When she heard Liu Qiang and Liu Danan calling everyone to get up, she also woke up. After putting on her cotton jacket, she gently called Su Yue.

"Girl, girl, wake up, the white fog has disappeared, Honeysuckle, wake up too."

When Su Yue and Ren Dong heard Nanny Yang's call, they woke up instantly, quickly got up, tidied their clothes, and went to the window with everyone else.

Everyone watched the fog dissipate little by little, and the tension on their faces gradually eased.

Song Mingtao couldn't help but sigh: "It's finally over. I was really worried tonight."

The others had smiles on their faces as if they had survived a disaster, and the men patted each other on the shoulders to comfort each other.

The children were even more excited, jumping around the window and shouting, "Great, the danger is gone, we can go out and play."

Zhong Tie and his wife hurriedly shouted, although the fog had dissipated, no one dared to be sure whether it was really safe.

As the fog became thinner, the scene outside gradually became clearer. There was a layer of yellowish-brown substance on the ground in the yard, in the corners of the walls, and on the snow outside the building.

Everyone looked at the yellow-brown substance, and their faces, which had just relaxed, became solemn again. The yellow-brown substance was spread thinly everywhere, and it looked a bit sticky, revealing an indescribable weirdness.

"Oh my, what are those? Why do they look so disgusting?" Ye Mei exclaimed.

Li Hui's originally happy expression turned into a worried look when she saw the brown liquid everywhere. She sighed and said, "Alas, I thought everything would be fine as long as the fog dissipated. I didn't expect that this kind of thing would be left behind after the fog was gone."

Seeing his wife's bitter face, Song Mingtao comforted her: "Mother, think positively. If you think about it this way, fortunately the fog didn't climb to the fifth floor. We are safe here."

"Mom, I want to pee." Zhong Tie's youngest son shouted while rubbing his eyes.

"Okay, Mom will take you home to pee. Dad, please come with me. Although the fog has not reached our house, I am still a little scared." Zhong Tie's wife said to Zhong Tie while putting on a cotton jacket for the child.

In fact, the fog only reaches the first layer. From the second floor upwards, there is no contamination from the fog. This is also thanks to the high distances between each floor built by Su Yue. Basically, everyone's home is not contaminated by the fog.

Hearing Zhong Tie's youngest son say that he wanted to pee, the others also felt the urge to pee, so Su Yue and her servant went back to wash up and take care of their physiological problems.

After everyone returned home, washed up, and took care of their physiological problems, they all went to the first floor stairs to see what those brown things were.

Everyone came to the stairs on the first floor, but did not dare to move forward rashly. They just looked at the yellow-brown thing from a distance, their faces full of caution and worry.

Su Yue walked closer with courage and saw that the brown things on the ground seemed to be some kind of algae.

It was a bit like the lichen that grows after rain, but very thin. Su Yue thought about it and felt that it was more like boiled seaweed spread on the snow.

Seeing that Su Yue had been staring at him for a while, Song Mingtao asked, "Miss, do you have any clues?"

"No, bring me an arrow."

Song Mingtao hurriedly took an arrow from the pile of weapons nearby and handed it to Su Yue. Everyone looked at her in confusion, not knowing what Su Yue wanted to do with the arrow.

Su Yue took the arrow and carefully stretched it towards the yellowish-brown thing that looked like algae, trying to gently pick up a small piece with the tip of the arrow.

As a result, I couldn't even pick up a small piece. It seemed that there was only a thin layer of wet film on the surface, and it was very sticky.

Su Yue frowned even more tightly, took out a piece of silver from the space and threw it on the sticky brown snow without hesitation.

This scene made everyone feel heartbroken. That was money, and it was just thrown away like that.

If the silver pieces had not been covered with brown stuff, they would have rushed over to pick them up. They could not waste money like this.
