Chapter 64

Yan Hong grabbed the chain connected to the dagger and swung it backwards. The dagger that was stuck in the ground was pulled out, drew a parabola in the air, and then returned to Yan Hong's hand.

"I'm already trying to reinforce my teammates before we even win. Aren't you brave?"

Neil's eyelids twitched and he said, "Damn it, why did she come back so soon?"

"Her ability increases speed. She's probably gotten them to safety," Lina said, forcing herself to remain calm. "That's perfect. Their team's healer's gone now. You can fight as much as you want. If you get hurt, I'll heal you."

Neil was a little worried. Lina had just treated two people not long ago, so he asked worriedly, "Will your ability work?"

"Nonsense! Stop looking down on me!"

Yan Hong made an irritable sound and began to swing the dagger in her hand.

"You totally don't take people seriously. It's so infuriating."

Neil only felt the figure of the person in front of him flash a few times, and then he was already in front of him, forcing Neil to summon the earth wall to resist again.

A chilling chill came from behind him, and Neil, almost out of fear, built an earth wall behind him to block the sharp cold light.

"What's going on!"

How could two of them appear at the same time!

Neil was almost suffocated. There was only one before, but now he didn't know how it turned into two!

The two Yan Hongs attacked Neil at the same time. Neil, who was already nervous, was now panicked. Beads of sweat as big as soybeans oozed out of his forehead. His brain was unable to think and he could only rely on instinct to barely resist.

Bang!

Lina slapped Neil in the face.

"I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

Neil struggled to create a hard semi-spherical shell with soil and rocks, and then sat on the ground as if he had lost his support.

Lina grabbed his collar and yelled at him, "Don't get killed! Remember everything I say next!"

"One of those two people is a fake phantom, and only one is real, so you have to find the real one as soon as possible, and then end the battle by any means necessary, otherwise we will all die here, do you understand?"

"……Um."

Lina looked at Neil, who was almost crying, with regret, and let go of his hand, letting him fall to the ground.

Just now, when Neil was frantically defending against Yan Hong's attack, Lina, who was hiding below, noticed some clues. Not all the earth walls were shattered immediately. Some of the earth walls were shattered only after the figures had completed the attack and left. In other words, one of the two people must be fake, but Yan Hong moved too fast. Even if she discovered that this one was fake, she would disappear in the next second, and she had no way of catching her.

But she also understood that with Neil's character, he really wouldn't be able to hold on any longer, so she had to end the battle quickly.

After just a few words between the two, the earth shell that had been built with great difficulty was shattered. Neil could only use the small earth wall again to deal with the attack.

Even if Neil wanted to, he couldn't find the time to test which one was real and which one was fake. Every time he made a move, Yan Hong dodged it.

Neil, who has failed time and time again, is on the verge of exhausting his superpowers. Even the earth wall is beginning to become fragile, and he will soon have no superpowers left to use.

"waste!"

Lina opened her medical kit, pressed the buckle on the inside of the lid, and two ballpoint pen-style injections popped out.

Lina took a shot, slowly stood up, held Neil's head with one hand to prevent him from moving, and pressed the button at the end of the injection with the other hand, and a sharp needle popped out from the tip.

Lina didn't hesitate and stabbed Neil's neck before he could react.

The potion inside the injection was injected into Neil's body. In just a few seconds, the injection was empty and was pulled out by Lina. The bloody syringe was casually thrown aside.

Neil covered his neck which was still bleeding, but there was no pain on his face. His pupils were dilated, and he seemed to be in a state of nothingness.

Neil's nails dug into the ground, filling them with fine dirt. Along with his rapid breathing, dark blue liquid rushed through his blood vessels, spreading from the needle hole in his neck all the way to his entire body.

Where the drug spread, Neil's skin began to crack, and those cracks covered Neil's body like a dry riverbed.

It was not known whether Neil was still sane or acting out of instinct, but he continued to form a mud wall, which was then broken by Yan Hong. Lina looked around nervously, worried that Neil would stop using his supernatural powers because of the pain before the drug took effect. Seeing that Neil was still diligently using his supernatural powers to form a protective barrier, Lina was relieved.

Neil gasped violently, arched his body and scratched his skin in pain. He felt that his skin was not his own skin, but a layer of dry mud that would crumble into sand and gravel with just a pinch.

As Neil kept scratching his body, the thin soil formed by his skin was scratched off layer by layer and turned into sand and fell to the ground, but gradually, the mud skin on Neil's body began to harden and thicken, turning from sand and soil into rock.

Yan Hong, whose vision was blocked by the earth wall, had a feeling something was wrong. Before she realized what was happening, she was forced to retreat repeatedly by a stone pillar rising from the ground.

The fragile earth wall was removed, and Neil slowly stood up from the ground. Yan Hong was shocked after seeing the changes in Neil.

At this time, Neil's entire body was twice as tall as before, his skin was covered with a layer of hard rock, and his clothes had been worn to only a few pieces of cloth. If Yan Hong had not known in advance, she would not have believed that the stone creature in front of her was a human.

Neil raised one foot and stomped it hard on the ground. The ground began to shake, and suddenly a sharp rock pillar rose up and spread towards Yan Hong.

Yan Hong stepped on the rock pillar and jumped onto a tree nearby to hide. However, the next moment, the ground under the tree began to crack, and a gap appeared out of thin air, swallowing the tree where Yan Hong was into the ground.

Everything happened so fast that Yanhong could only roll down from the tree, but fortunately she was not buried underground with the tree.

I watched helplessly as the trees were swallowed by the earth and the ground closed up as if nothing had happened.

Fortunately, Yan Hong suddenly saw the syringe on the ground. Yan Hong picked up the syringe and continued to run wildly, avoiding the rock spikes that kept appearing.

Yan Hong ran while looking at the syringe in her hand.

specific

Yan Hong's pupils shrank involuntarily, and then she rolled over to avoid the flying stone arrow.

She knew who they were!

Although the Eagle Team was not responsible for that part of the work, she had heard about it more or less. After all, the matter was very serious.

Before the spontaneously organized exploration teams were banned and the base could enter and exit relatively freely, a special drug was circulating on the underground black market.

It is said that the medicine is made from extracts of some unspeakable materials. The person with superpowers only needs to inject the medicine into his body, and his superpowers will explode in a short period of time, and he can temporarily reach a peak state that is difficult to reach in this lifetime.

However, the side effects will also flood the body of the injected person after the effect of the drug wears off. If the person is a stronger psychic, there is still a glimmer of hope. If he is just an ordinary psychic, he will die instantly after taking one dose and the effect of the drug wears off!

Yan Hong heard about it from someone she occasionally dined with. In a certain informal and illegal underground fighting arena, someone suddenly started vomiting blood after killing his opponent and winning the championship. He eventually died in public. That was the nth accident that month. The fighting arena was ultimately unable to suppress it completely, and the spies reported it to the higher-ups at the base, which made this life-threatening drug appear in the official sight.

Although the specific reason is unknown, the drug was designated as a banned drug. All the factories that had been producing the drug in the hope of getting away with it because it was in a gray area were implicated. At that time, there was a brief period of strict crackdown and control, and eventually all the manufacturing-related factories that could be found were destroyed.

It is said that during that period, the number of civilian exploration teams leaving the base decreased significantly. Yan Hong reasonably suspected that they were also secretly using that kind of potion, but the specific situation was no longer known. After all, Yan Hong was busy eating at the time and did not ask too many questions.

However, if you just clear your mind a little, it is not difficult to discover the true identities of these people.

First of all, they came on the Chen family's helicopter. From a standpoint, they are members of the Chen family. At the very least, they were hired by the Chen family with money. Secondly, their abilities are not inferior to those of regular exploration teams. They can even fight on equal terms with their own team, which eliminates the possibility of some second-rate cats and dogs. Finally, this potion was not accessible to ordinary people even when it was still in circulation. After being sealed and processed, it was even more priceless. Not only can they get it, but they can also use it so easily. They must have a way to buy it.

Combining various circumstances and some subtle observations, Yan Hong guessed that they might be the mercenary team wanted by the base!

Yan Hong sighed. In fact, she knew very little about the team because she had never thought about getting to know them!

Yan Hong never even looked at the wanted poster posted in a public area, because her team's mission had nothing to do with catching wanted criminals, so she felt it had nothing to do with her. Now that she thinks about it, it's really...

Regret not watching it!

There is no medicine for regret in the world, and now is not the time to worry about this. What really matters right now is how to get rid of the guy who just injected the drug.

After being injected with the drug, Neil's strength increased greatly, and he even managed to turn the tide of the battle, forcing Yan Hong, who was originally in an active attacking position, to run away continuously. The situation has been reversed, and now it is Yan Hong's turn to find a way to avoid Neil's attack.

Yan Hong was running and thinking about countermeasures, but the next second she suddenly felt her feet go empty. She looked down and found that the ground under her feet had turned into quicksand without her knowing when!

One of Yan Hong's feet was already deeply stuck in the quicksand, and the scope of the quicksand continued to expand. Yan Hong's other foot also began to sink, and she could not find a point of force to pull herself out.

"Hahahaha! It's finally your turn!" Seeing that the plan was successfully implemented, Lina started celebrating in advance and mocked Yan Hong.

"Wasn't he very arrogant before? Why is he silent now? Even if it's an exploration team, they're still defeated by us! It seems that the people trained by the base are not that good either. I think they're not as good as..."

Before she could finish her words, Lina's voice stopped in her throat.

Lina lowered her head in disbelief, the clothes on her chest gradually stained with blood, and a sharp arrow had pierced her body from behind at some point.

Staring blankly at the bloody arrow in her chest, Lina's previous spirit disappeared without a trace.

“Aa ...

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"

Tears burst out of her eyes, and then Lina spat out a mouthful of blood.

Chen Yunliang, who was hiding behind a tree, slowly put down his crossbow and calmly pushed his glasses.
