"At most, it's just a borderline mutant. What's the big deal? You're just a captain of the Army. How can you give up so easily?" Yu Yi roared into the communication device. Captain Lin wasn't joking. At their level, they would only be so desperate when they encountered something truly terrifying.
What exactly did he encounter?
"No, no, it's …" Captain Lin's voice was so calm that it made one's hair stand on end. "Cough, cough, cough … The ones chasing us are … cough, cough, cough … The soldiers from the military department are all dead. Cough, cough, cough …"
Captain Lin's voice on the other side of the communication device became more and more vague and soft. This was the reaction of being seriously injured. Some key words couldn't be heard clearly.
"Please, save … save Young Master Wang."
The voice stopped abruptly, and the communication device was cut off.
Yu Yi and the other three looked at each other. They thought that if they contacted Captain Lin, they would have a chance to meet. This way, the two Level-1 magicians would have a better chance of winning. They didn't expect to hear more desperate news in the end.
Time didn't allow them to continue to think and adjust their strategy. The mysterious man's footsteps were gradually approaching. As the distance between him and them got closer, his speed also became faster.
The huge soles of his feet shook the ground. Yu Yi's expression changed. He waved his hand and signaled the other three to quickly follow. They had to escape from this place as soon as possible!
Li Xiang ran while touching the cold metal box on his chest. As the mysterious man approached, the metal box would become colder. This feeling couldn't be wrong. He frowned and didn't say anything for the time being.
Rumble!
After running for a few steps, the black shadow behind him suddenly swept past, and the walls on both sides collapsed. The black blood and the huge palm that flipped open the flesh swept fiercely, and the black walls were shattered like tofu.
"Assist — Triple Gravity!" Yu Yi suddenly stopped. After braking, he tilted his body and crawled under the mysterious man's crotch to his back.
The earth yellow light lit up, and a huge yellow circle suddenly appeared on the ground under the mysterious man's feet. He only heard an angry roar, and his body sank with the ground under his feet.
After this magic trick, the weight in Yu Yi's body was almost exhausted. The core of the counterweight was the source of magic power to release magic. It could store a certain amount of magic particles for the user to mobilize. There were three different types of magic particles.
After becoming an official Magic Apprentice, he had to learn a new magic trick every time he leveled up. He knew four magic tricks, but unfortunately, the weight in his body only allowed him to cast three of them before it would dry up. It would take him twenty-four hours to replenish it.
Under the threefold gravity, the huge Mystery Man could not move at all. Yu Yi and the rest took this opportunity to jump out and run towards the end of the morgue.
"Opening this door should lead to a safe passage. It's a staircase, and it can lead to any floor." Li Xiang saw a dilapidated dark green sign. He could still make out the markings on it. Without hesitation, he blasted open the old door and plunged in.
Ming Xu and Crimson Moon followed closely behind. Although they did not understand why Li Xiang was so familiar with the layout of this ancient building, they had no choice now.
Yu Yi, who followed closely behind, punched the wall as soon as he stepped into the door. The falling rubble buried the entrance.
Li Xiang quickly came to the ground floor. The door leading to the ground floor was bound by a rusty chain. With a slight force of his hands, the chain broke and the door was smashed. It was indeed the main entrance hall of the hospital.
The layout of many years ago was still there, such as the registration office, pharmacy, and so on. Li Xiang sighed. When he paused for a moment, Yu Yi and the other two behind him had rushed to the main entrance of the hall. At this moment, the ground under Li Xiang's feet suddenly shook.
Boom!
A disgusting big hand reached out from the bottom. Fortunately, Li Xiang reacted quickly and dodged it. The metal box on his chest also became extremely cold, just like when he faced the Mystery Man head-on.
Was it really attracted by this thing?
"Let's go!" Yu Yi had no strength to release the fourth magic. He held two Source Guns in both hands and fired at the same time. Crimson Moon and Ming Xu also aimed their guns at the Mystery Man. Several thick grayish-white gas columns blasted toward the Mystery Man. As soon as the Mystery Man's head appeared, he was blasted back by a pile of gas columns.
Li Xiang sprinted out as fast as he could, while Yu Yi shouted at Crimson Moon, "Where's your trump card? Aren't you going to use it?"
"…" Sister Yue hesitated for a moment, but still took out an exquisite sealed box from her bosom. Inside lay a beautiful grayish-white crystal. She revealed a pained expression, gritted her teeth, and threw the crystal in her hand toward the hospital's main hall.
Retreat!
A great sense of crisis suddenly spread all over his body. Li Xiang did not think about anything. The red magic circuit on his legs shone to the extreme. The four of them sped away like four meteors. The next second, a huge mushroom cloud rose in an instant in the abandoned hospital.
After the silence, there was an ear-piercing explosion.
He did not need to look back to know that the entire abandoned hospital had been reduced to ashes!
A word that had been silent in the depths of his mind popped up. A Source Bomb?
Compressed Source Substances into high-density substances, the value of a single piece was difficult to estimate because it contained too much Source Substance. Once it was exposed to the air, it would react with the surrounding magic particles and cause them to move wildly.
The loss of gunpowder and bullet technology caused humans to lose the ability to create weapons of mass destruction. In its place, they were replaced by a series of more powerful Source Substance weapons. However, Source Substance weapons were too expensive to make. It was not worth it to make them into weapons of mass destruction. This was because such weapons did not have much of a deterrent effect on powerful Calamities.
After reaching the level of players, it was a whole other world.
Therefore, it was very extravagant to use a Source Substance solid as a bomb. It was a waste of money!
A standard tube of Source Substance gas had a market price of 100,000 Blue Star Coins, which was equivalent to a drop of Source Substance liquid. A small piece of Source Substance solid was equivalent to almost 100 drops of Source Substance liquid, which was worth at least 10 million Blue Star Coins! If it were not for the fact that this item was not easy to sell, Crimson Moon would not have to worry about the money for the airship.
Then, she threw out 10 million, which made Li Xiang's scalp go numb.
Was this the foundation of the Five Thrones? Crimson Moon was probably not among the younger generation with high status in the family. Such a large amount of resources was simply cheating. No wonder so many people wanted to enter the outer sect.
He secretly glanced at Ming Xu. Her expression was calm from beginning to end. Even in the face of a borderline mutant, she did not waver. This girl came from Dong Ling's main family. Even if she did not have much authority, she was still a rich girl among rich girls, right?
Sensing that Li Xiang was secretly looking at her, Ming Xu gave him a puzzled look. He smiled awkwardly and continued to run.
The four of them ran all the way to a swamp area deep in the forest before stopping to catch their breath. They had sneaked a peek at the abandoned hospital. Not only had it completely disappeared, but there was also a deep pit several times the size of the ground. It was so deep that they could not see the bottom.
Crimson Moon was still distressed over the loss of the Source Substance solid, but at least they were all alive. Staying alive was the most important thing.
"Captain Lin meant that there was more than one borderline mutant. It seems that he encountered a lot better. The Army was completely wiped out, but they are probably not in the hospital." Yu Yi frowned. He could analyze a lot of information from Captain Lin's last words. The most straightforward one meant that they were not completely out of danger yet.
"Could it be that the so-called ruins are actually referring to this entire area?" Li Xiang suddenly said. "The abandoned hospital is only a part of it. There are many other areas like this in other places."
He came up with a very bold hypothesis, but it was reasonable.
"That's not right." Crimson Moon's body trembled as she looked at Yu Yi. "Such a large mutant area. The number of mutants alone is probably in the dozens. This should be considered a disaster area, right?"
"Definitely. But every disaster area is clearly marked in the Player Association. The person who issued the mission couldn't have sent me here to die after knowing that this is a disaster area, right? " Yu Yi's face was ashen. "I'm afraid this matter isn't simple. If they really sent me here to die on purpose, then …"
Crimson Moon's expression also changed, and she did not continue.
Li Xiang understood clearly. It was very simple. The other party had deliberately sent Yu Yi here to die here, so that these borderline mutants would truly transform into disasters!
When he thought about how every borderline mutant could transform into a true disaster, he felt an immense fear that was about to swallow his heart.
"Anyway, no matter what, let's go back first. We can only make new plans when we get back." Crimson Moon interrupted their thoughts. "Terrain is your forte. Take us back to the steam locomotive first."
Yu Yi nodded and skillfully led them back the way they came. Concealment and tracking were compulsory subjects for an assassin. The worse the terrain looked, the more it tested an assassin's ability. Naturally, he would not forget the route back.
After walking for about ten minutes, they finally saw a few steam locomotives parked there. There was a strong smell of blood all around, and there were mutilated corpses everywhere. Li Xiang could still vaguely recognize the core member of Crimson Moon who had stayed behind to guard.
Crimson Moon's expression was very bad. No one would be happy to see their subordinates being slaughtered.
"It's man-made." Li Xiang squatted down to check while suppressing his disgust. "Someone attacked them, and all the steam locomotives' driving mechanisms were destroyed. They don't want us to leave."
As soon as Li Xiang spoke, there was a clap from the forest.
"Good analysis, good analysis. The blood pool is about to be filled. How could they let you leave so easily? "
Gui Wuqi's figure walked out of the forest, and beside him was Ghost Mackerel, who had a smile on his face. Both father and son looked relaxed, and their steps were light.
"Gui Wuqi, do you know what you're doing?!" Yu Yi questioned coldly. He never thought that this guy would really set up a trap for them, including the Army and Colonel Wang Haisheng's only son!
"I know, of course I know!" Gui Wuqi stopped smiling and raised the communicator in his hand. "Instead of questioning me, you should take a look at your communicator first."
