Luo Yuan walked over and touched the light blue "iceberg" curiously. As soon as he touched it, he felt extremely cold. His hand was almost numb, and he realized that his hand was stuck to the ice. He quickly pulled it away and heard a tearing sound. Fortunately, he was not hurt except for the fact that his hand was a little pale.
His 17-point Physique had made his skin extremely tough. It was hard to cut it with a knife, but it did not tear his skin. Seeing that Lin Feiyan was walking further and further away, he quickly followed her.
It seemed to be a signal. As the peace of the fog was broken, mutated beasts started to appear one after another.
However, every time they appeared, Lin Feiyan would be one step ahead of them and freeze them.
It was fine if it happened once or twice, but Luo Yuan started to feel annoyed after a while. He had originally wanted to practice with these mutated beasts and familiarize himself with his strength. However, every time he was about to attack, he would be scared away by Lin Feiyan's eager gaze.
It was not that he did not want to attack first, but her evolved ability was basically a ranged attack. If he did not coordinate well, the two of them would collide and release a terrifying frost. Even if he were to touch it, he would die if he did not pay attention.
However, Lin Feiyan's strength was extremely strong. Although she seemed to be charging around, she only used one move. There was no technique involved, but there was a charm to it. No matter how many tricks you used, you would still be able to use them. To put it simply, she was like a heavy sword without a sharp edge. If you could not block her attack, you would die.
Moreover, her ability seemed to be endless. Along the way, she had encountered no less than 10 mutated beasts, including two level six ones. Although she was a little tired from the intense exercise, her ability was not weakened at all.
Lin Feiyan's clothes were torn. She did not know how many times she had rolled along the way, especially when she had been hit by the mutated beast just now. Although the mutated beast's strength was like an arrow at the end of its flight, it had still torn the back of her clothes and her knees. There was even a cut on her face.
Lin Feiyan was panting. The frequent and intense battles had made her look like a mess. When she finally caught her breath, she turned around and glanced at Luo Yuan who was walking slowly towards her. She exhaled deeply.
Luo Yuan looked at her expression and thought to himself, "Is she blaming me for not supporting her just now?" However, such an indiscriminate ability meant that even if he wanted to help her, he would not be able to. Perhaps he could use his Will to resist the extreme cold, but the ground was completely frozen, so he had nowhere to stand.
If it was in the past, he would be able to control his strength down to the finest detail, his feet would be rooted to the ground, and his lower body would be stable. Naturally, he wouldn't be afraid. But now, he couldn't even control the ordinary ground, not to mention the slippery ice surface. If he wasn't careful, he might even lose his life before he could save the others.
Luo Yuan said, "Why don't you take a break first? I'll do the rest."
Lin Feiyan felt that her amazing performance just now was enough to achieve her goal. Moreover, there was an even more terrifying mutated beast coming up. She couldn't waste all her energy on these roadblocks. After thinking for a while, she said, "Alright, be careful!"
However, Luo Yuan was not sure if he was lucky or not, as they did not encounter any more mutated beasts. After about 10 minutes, they were gradually approaching the hot spring lake.
"Wait." Luo Yuan's ears twitched, and he said softly, "There's someone in front."
Lin Feiyan already knew that Luo Yuan's hearing was very sensitive, far better than hers, so she did not feel anything strange. She stopped and asked doubtfully, "Someone? Other than the sleeping residents, why would there be someone else? Could it be the missing soldiers?"
"Let's go and take a look," Luo Yuan said, looking serious.
The closer they got to the lake, the more depressed he felt. His Sensory Perception was further compressed, and now his detection range was less than 20 meters.
They quickened their pace, and within a few minutes, they saw a person staggering forward not far away. Lin Feiyan wanted to call out to him, but Luo Yuan stopped her, "Something's wrong. This person is a little strange. Don't call out to him, let's see what happens first."
Lin Feiyan was shocked. She took a closer look and could not help but gasp. The person's walking posture was extremely strange and stiff. It did not look like a normal person at all. It felt like … like a puppet.
Their footsteps were light, and in the blink of an eye, they had passed the person. Luo Yuan turned around and saw that the person's eyes were closed, as if he was still in a dream. However, Luo Yuan knew that he was not sleepwalking.
"There are still many more ahead. Let's not worry about it. Let's find the mutated beast as soon as possible," Luo Yuan whispered to Lin Feiyan, who looked pale.
Lin Feiyan came back to her senses and followed Luo Yuan in a trance. She did not realize that Luo Yuan had taken control of her without her realizing it. She did not know why, but she felt that the fog in front of them had become gloomy, and she felt a sense of fear in her heart.
She would not have felt so bad if the situation had been different. However, women were naturally afraid of such strange things, so she did not have a mind of her own.
There were more and more people on the road, and when they got close to the lake, it was already crowded. There were people coming out from the houses on both sides of the road to join the crowd. The strange atmosphere made her feel like she was one of them. She followed the crowd, and when she saw Luo Yuan's tall figure in front of her, she quickly quickened her pace to follow him.
At this time, from afar came the sound of something heavy falling into the water. In addition, she seemed to smell a strong smell of meat. She was puzzled when she suddenly thought of something and her face changed. A chill quickly rose from her tailbone and spread throughout her body.
They seemed to have the same feeling, and both of them subconsciously quickened their pace. Soon, they had reached the shore.
Luo Yuan's face was pale, and his scalp was numb. He could not believe what he saw. The hot spring was hot, and there were countless corpses on the surface. The temperature of the hot spring was about 70 to 80 degrees Celsius, and the corpses were half-cooked. Some of them had been soaked for too long, and they were completely stewed.
Since the apocalypse, Luo Yuan had seen many tragedies, and corpses were common to him. Even if there were corpses all over the place, it would not be a big deal. However, at this moment, he felt his stomach churning.
Luo Yuan's face was gloomy. He did not know how many people had "walked" into the lake, but there were more than a thousand of them in the hundreds of square meters in front of him. Judging from the size of the lake, there must be tens of thousands of people.
At this moment, Luo Yuan noticed a creepy phenomenon. As the "people" walked into the lake, he vaguely saw a blurry shadow struggling to get out of the body, and then it was sucked to the bottom of the lake.
This was a soul. This mutated beast was devouring souls!
It was no wonder that this mutated beast would enter the Reconstruction Area regardless of the danger. For this kind of mutated beast that devoured souls, there was no better food than humans who were born with strong souls. To it, the densely packed city was like a mouse seeing a granary. Such a strong temptation was enough to make it risk its life for it.
The mutated beasts that he saw earlier were probably the guards under its control, and they were brought to Hot Springs City under the cover of the fog at night.
He thought quickly and understood everything. He took a deep breath. This soul-eating mutated beast lived at the bottom of the lake, and he had to find a way to force it out. Otherwise, he would not be able to do anything to it in the water. He turned to look at Lin Feiyan, who seemed to be in a trance, and said in a deep voice, "Can you freeze the whole lake?"
Without a doubt, this mutated beast was in the lake.
Lin Feiyan was stunned for a moment, and only reacted after a while, "Did you say freeze? Let me try! "
She walked towards the lake and reached her hand into the water without hesitation. The next moment, the high temperature of the lake cooled down, and a thin layer of ice appeared. Soon, the layer of ice became thicker and spread rapidly.
Accompanied by the cracking sound of the frozen lake, the fog on the surface of the lake became thinner. As time passed, Lin Feiyan's face became as red as fire, and her body emitted a scorching heat. Her khaki combat uniform started to curl up, and the heat waves around her body started to roll. Suddenly, her clothes started to burn.
Luo Yuan was shocked, but he soon calmed down. There was nothing strange on her face, and he realized that the fire did not affect her at all. Not even her hair was burnt. In his perception, she seemed to have turned into a bright sun, shining so brightly that even his figure could not be distinguished.
His face was filled with shock. The accumulated energy in his body was simply beyond his imagination.
If she could unleash this energy in the future instead of absorbing it, even Luo Yuan would have to stay away from her.
At this time, the layer of ice suddenly made a loud, ear-piercing sound, as if it had exploded. The several meters thick ice in the center of the lake was instantly smashed by a terrifying force. Pieces of ice that weighed several tons shot into the air from all directions.
Then, a gigantic beast leaped onto the layer of ice. Its eyes were as black as ink, and it let out an angry roar. The powerful sound wave caused the air in front of it to tremble.
