In the wee hours of the morning, Luo Yuan and Lin Feiyan took a portable breathing apparatus and a map each and headed towards Hot Springs City. About 10 minutes later, they arrived at the periphery of the fog.
Before they even got close, they could smell a faint fishy smell. It was nauseating and the fog seemed to be restrained by something as it did not seem to be spreading.
Luo Yuan looked serious as he put on the breathing apparatus and said to Lin Feiyan, "I'll go in and have a look. You can come in when there's no problem."
However, Lin Feiyan did not appreciate his kindness and said, "It's okay, just follow behind me."
Very soon, Luo Yuan felt a strong chill spreading from Lin Feiyan. Luo Yuan subconsciously took a few steps back. The air was gradually filled with fog, which then turned into tiny ice crystals and fell to the ground. Frost gradually formed on the ground. Even the fog that was more than 10 meters away could not hold on for long. The fog was getting thinner and thinner. Soon, a large part of the fog dissipated as if it had an opening.
Luo Yuan was stunned. He looked around and was shocked to see that everything within a 100-meter radius had turned into ice. The temperature was probably 20 to 30 degrees Celsius below zero.
"Let's go. When the fog appeared in Hot Springs City, the residents did not evacuate. They have been frozen for too long. I'm afraid there will be casualties." Lin Feiyan was secretly proud of herself as she looked at Luo Yuan's shocked expression.
...
She was born into a wealthy family. Before the apocalypse, her father was a famous entrepreneur with a net worth of hundreds of millions. As the only daughter in the family, she had been trained to be the successor of the family since she was young. However, as the apocalypse approached, the wealth of the family gradually disappeared. Her parents also died a violent death. When they migrated to the Reconstruction Area, other than gaining a powerful evolutionary ability, she was left alone. However, she had been trained to manage people since she was young.
Ever since she was appointed as the Captain of Hope City, she had been using the experience her parents had taught her. She suppressed one group of people and recruited another group of people. Although her methods were blunt, it was still successful with her strength. She had eyes everywhere in the department. Therefore, when Luo Yuan reported to the Firearms Bureau and managed to subdue the entire department, she was alerted. Especially after he was promoted to the Deputy Captain, she was even more vigilant.
Although there was a vice-captain in the past, he was obsessed with women. Especially after he was shocked by her a few times, he did not care about anything else and listened to everything she said. Although she said that he had lost his mind due to his lust, she still got along well with him.
However, this newcomer, Luo Yuan, was more powerful and ambitious. Not only had he formed a clique (Fang Peibin), but he had also seduced Wu Qianru (Wu Qianru). In just two days, he had almost made her a figurehead. How could she tolerate that?
However, she was good at planning. Before she came here, she had already prepared seven to eight contingency plans. She was just waiting for Luo Yuan to jump out and suppress this scheming vice-captain. Unfortunately, he had been keeping a low profile along the way and did not give her a chance to perform. She had only used one now.
The only thing that she regretted was that she could not use her full strength as the effect was not shocking enough. Otherwise, it would seem too deliberate. However, there was still a long way to go.
...
Of course, Luo Yuan did not know what Lin Feiyan was thinking. He stepped on the thin layer of ice on the ground and was impressed. This evolved ability was very useful in this fog. He did not even need to use a respirator.
He followed behind Lin Feiyan and walked into the fog. As soon as he stepped into the area, he felt something strange. His Sensory Perception was tightly suppressed. The range of his Sensory Perception, which was originally close to 100 meters, was now reduced to 50 to 60 meters. At the same time, he felt a slight pressure.
His expression gradually turned serious. Could this ball of mist be the territory of the unknown mutated beast? This was too unbelievable. The entire Hot Springs City was at least a few hundred square kilometers in size. To be able to envelop the entire city was like a myth. Perhaps it was due to the help of the mist, but even so, it was still beyond his imagination.
In a sense, this was the first time he had encountered a true level-seven mutated beast. The Shapeshifting Monster he had killed before was powerful, but its life form was completely different from a normal level-seven lifeform. There was no comparison.
At least he could choose to retreat if he could not defeat the mutated beast. However, if he were to face a real level seven creature, his life would be in an instant. If he could not defeat it, he would die.
Now that his attributes had just been upgraded, he had not had time to adapt to it. He could only use less than 30% of his full strength. In a sense, his overall combat power was not as good as before.
Although Luo Yuan's performance in his bedroom was amazing, it was only in terms of attack power. In a real battle, the most important thing was to be able to react in a moment of life and death.
He thought to himself that if he was not confident, he would have to give up the mission and follow the military's instructions. Luo Yuan was not the kind of person who would rush into battle on impulse. Although the mission was important, his life was more important. If he died, there would be nothing left.
The streets were filled with sleeping pedestrians. At first, Lin Feiyan would stop from time to time and try to wake them up, but after a few attempts, she gave up. The pedestrians here could not be woken up at all. Looking at them in their sleep, their eyes kept rolling, as if they were in a dream.
After walking for a few hundred meters, they started to see soldiers who were in a coma. There were more than a few hundred of them. More than 10 armored vehicles crashed into the buildings because there was no one controlling them. Some of them even had their engines roaring.
The group of soldiers who had been investigating the situation had been annihilated before they could even walk for a kilometer.
"Hot Springs City is not small. It's not efficient to search like this. Do you have any better suggestions?" Lin Feiyan asked.
Luo Yuan took out the map and looked at it for a while. He pointed at the hot spring lake and said, "The fog can't appear out of thin air. I remember Zhang Zhongyan saying that the fog contains 60% water. It's impossible for it to appear without a water source. Let's go to the hot spring lake first. "
Since Hot Springs City was named after the hot spring, it was only natural that there would be a hot spring. The temperature of the hot spring was close to 80 degrees Celsius. Almost no life could survive there. After the reconstruction area was built, the hot spring was expanded into a lake in order to obtain a water source nearby.
Lin Feiyan's eyes lit up, but she felt a little depressed. She had not thought of such a simple deduction. She suppressed her dissatisfaction and said, "Let's go there then!"
"Wait, something is coming!" Luo Yuan suddenly said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the fog.
With his current hearing, he could almost hear the sound of mosquitoes and flies flapping their wings within a kilometer radius. Even the slightest movement could not escape his ears.
Lin Feiyan listened for a while but did not hear anything. Just when she was wondering if Luo Yuan was lying, her ears twitched and she could hear heavy footsteps.
It was a gigantic beast. Before it appeared in the fog, the ground had already started shaking. The buildings on both sides of the street seemed to have been brushed by its huge body and collapsed with a loud rumble.
The sound came from afar and approached at a shocking speed. From the moment Lin Feiyan heard the sound, it had appeared in front of them in less than 10 seconds.
It was a gigantic beast that was about eight to nine meters tall and about 15 to 16 meters long. Its body was covered with blue fur that undulated as it ran. Its limbs looked extremely strong and seemed to be full of strength. As he ran, sharp claws that looked like black scimitars quietly protruded from his toes.
It was a sign that a feline was about to attack. Although this creature had completely mutated, it could not change its habit.
Luo Yuan stared at the gigantic beast, his muscles tensed up. He held the handle of his sword and was ready to attack when the beast was attacking.
Unexpectedly, before he could do anything, Lin Feiyan had already rushed out. Soon, a terrifying chill was emitted from her body. The air seemed to crackle as the frost spread in an instant. Feeling the chill, Luo Yuan immediately gave up his intention to attack and retreated.
He saw a figure wrapped in snow rushing straight towards the gigantic beast. It looked like they were about to collide, but it did not seem to have any intention of dodging. Luo Yuan looked nervous, but he soon relaxed. He noticed that as the beast got closer, the frost was spreading all over its body and its movement was getting stiff.
When it was about five to six meters away, it could no longer run and fell to the ground. The next moment, a small, white fist hit its body.
In just a breath's time, the entire beast was completely frozen.
Lin Feiyan was panting heavily. Her baby fat face was as red as fire, and her entire body seemed to be emitting green smoke. Compared to the extreme cold outside, her body was emitting a high temperature, as if all the heat energy outside was being absorbed by her. The high temperature generated was so high that even the loose combat uniform on her body was almost scorched. This was because Luo Yuan's sensitive nose had already smelled a burning smell. No wonder her clothes were loose. It must have something to do with this strange ability.
After a while, Lin Feiyan turned around to look at Luo Yuan after catching her breath. She clenched her fists and said to Luo Yuan, "This mutated creature is too weak. It's probably not what we're looking for. Let's go!"
