"Level D Mission: The Mastermind – Find and kill the mysterious mind controller. Time: 5 days. Accept or cancel."
The system notification suddenly rang in his head.
He was stunned for a moment. He knew that his thought had triggered a mission.
If it was just a guess before, it was enough to confirm it now.
Ever since he had gotten the system, no matter how bizarre the mission was or how coincidental the mission was, the system had never made a mistake.
It seemed to have a pair of omniscient eyes. There seemed to be no secrets in this world to it. Even the probability of anything was certain in its eyes. Sometimes, Luo Yuan could not help but shudder when he thought about it. The more he understood it, the more powerless he felt.
As the thought flashed through his mind, his heart sank. He realized that he had underestimated the mastermind.
"It's a Level D mission!" he thought.
…
"You can look for me if you need anything after we separate," Luo Yuan said, patting Xu Zhiqiang's shoulder.
Xu Zhiqiang nodded, feeling touched. Including the time when he had escaped from prison, Luo Yuan had saved him twice. He owed Luo Yuan so much that he had never expressed his gratitude. He just engraved Luo Yuan's kindness in his heart.
"Boss, can I follow you?" Zhang Wu asked.
Luo Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Not now. I have something to do. Maybe later."
Luo Yuan patted their shoulders one by one. When it was Wen Yujie's turn, Luo Yuan looked at her slightly red eyes. He paused for a moment and gave her a hug.
"Take care!" Luo Yuan said, letting go of her.
"Okay! You take care too, "Wen Yujie said, pretending to be calm.
Most of the guards at the door of the sewer maintenance room had disappeared. Under the cover of Wen Yujie's light ability, everyone quickly left.
Luo Yuan watched them quietly. When they were far away, he opened his sleeves and put the remaining dead skin into his pocket.
When he patted their shoulders just now, he had already activated the Synthesis Spell. A small amount of dead skin silently fused into their clothes. Through the spiritual imprint left by the dead skin, as long as they were not too far away, he could clearly sense them.
With his 15 points of Dexterity, his reaction speed was almost 7.5 times that of a normal person. Almost no one would notice such a small movement. At most, they would feel a sudden warmth when he patted his shoulder, but they would think it was an illusion.
Luo Yuan closed his eyes and sensed for a while. He realized that the people who had gathered together had separated and gone in different directions.
A trace of gloom flashed across his face, but he did not leave. Instead, he turned around and returned to the sewers.
Although the sewers and shelters were separated from each other, in reality, air could still circulate weakly. Coupled with the impact of the earthquake and the collapse, the separation between the two had completely disappeared. Under the rapid exchange of air, the unknown poisonous gas in the sewers had become a fatal source of danger.
If they could not get rid of the source of the poisonous gas in time, it would not take long before death spread throughout the entire sanctuary.
Luo Yuan walked quickly towards the sewers with a serious expression on his face. In a short time, the sewers were filled with dead bodies. Some of the mutated beasts with strong vitality or strong resistance to poison were also running around, struggling to survive.
The faint poisonous gas almost filled the entire space, and there was a strange sweet smell in the air. To be safe, he immediately held his breath. The poison was very strong. Even Tong Jianliang and Wen Yujie, who were evolved humans, could not resist it. Luo Yuan was not sure if he would be safe.
As the system did not remind him, Luo Yuan guessed that the source of the poisonous gas was not very strong. Of course, the real problem was its strong poison.
Luo Yuan squatted down from time to time to check the degree of rigidity of the mutated beasts' corpses to determine the source of the poisonous gas. With his Physique and lung capacity, as long as he did not do any strenuous exercise, he could definitely hold it for 30 to 40 minutes.
Finally, after five to six minutes, Luo Yuan stopped near a crack caused by the earthquake.
It was a creature the size of a small car that looked like a toad.
Its back was red like fire, and there were countless pustules moving up and down as it breathed. Occasionally, yellow pus would flow out. It looked extremely disgusting.
Its belly was horrifying black, and it was covered with round dots of different sizes. The dots were about the size of a thumb, smooth and round. They were wriggling from time to time. Luo Yuan's eyes were sharp, and he immediately realized that they were not dots, but countless parasites that looked like ticks.
Luo Yuan felt his scalp tingle just by looking at them.
The parasites seemed to have sucked enough blood, and they were all full and round. The poisonous gas that the toad emitted did not seem to affect the parasites at all.
In the natural world, there was always a counter to another.
From the aura it emitted, this creature's strength was between blue and dark blue level. This kind of strength was something that Luo Yuan could kill with one slash.
However, considering that this creature was poisonous and extremely disgusting, Luo Yuan frowned and condensed his Will to form a thin layer of Will film on the surface of his body to prevent the poison from splashing.
The battle that followed was nothing to write home about.
Under the terrifying aura, the other party was so scared that it could not move. Its whole body was trembling, and even when Luo Yuan approached it, it did not have the slightest intention to resist. It was as obedient as a frightened quail. Then, it was decapitated by Luo Yuan. Black dirty water splashed more than three meters high, and the ground began to corrode.
The body was poisonous, so of course, it could not be left to rot there.
There were many mutated beast corpses on the ground that had been poisoned to death. Luo Yuan took out the fat from the corpses and quickly piled it up. The fat was high in oil content, and it was very flammable.
After Luo Yuan ignited it, the flame rose more than three meters high. Under the turbulent flame, the corpse of the toad began to burn.
He let out a sigh of relief. Other than some radioactive toxins, the high temperature of the flame could decompose any biological or chemical toxins. After being burned by the flame, the source of the poison would completely disappear.
He waited for almost half an hour until the corpse was completely burned to ashes. Only then did he feel relieved and left quickly.
As he was walking, he suddenly stopped. He realized that one of the Will imprints that he had sent out was moving. It seemed like some kind of power was affecting it, causing it to shake continuously.
However, just as he was about to sense it, the imprint shook violently. Like a soap bubble that had been popped, it burst and disappeared without a trace. The sensing in his mind was quickly interrupted.
Luo Yuan's heart sank. He did not expect the other party to act so quickly. It had only been half an hour, and they had already attacked.
The one who was affected was Xiao Baihong. Previously, when he fused with the dead skin, the amount of the dead skin was different. Naturally, there were differences in strength and weakness. Among them, Wen Yujie fused with the most dead skin, so her senses were the clearest. Next were Xu Zhiqiang, Zhang Wu, and Xiao Baihong. The weakest was Yang Zhiqing.
The disappearing Will imprint obviously belonged to Xiao Baihong.
