"Front, go forward!"

Not only Lu Chengchuan saw the ball of light, but everyone in front also saw the ball of light.

A ball of light floated in mid-air, the only light in the black fog, visible to anyone who wasn't blind. Lu Chengchuan felt the call grow even stronger. He emptied his last magazine, tossed his gun to the ground, drew his new sword, and charged forward.

The internal energy flowed wildly in his body, and he seemed to have endless energy waiting to be released.

"Don't rush too fast, we can't keep up with you!"

Lu Chengchuan rushed out, and his long sword left afterimages. None of the monsters in front of him were his match. Every time the long sword fell, a monster fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Chengchuan rushed out several meters, and the monsters rushed over, separating him from the team behind him.

He didn't feel anything in the front, but he scared the people behind him.

Zhou Yaning quickly called people back. Lu Chengchuan just turned his head to take a look, and the monsters surrounded him in an instant, grabbing him with several pairs of sharp claws.

The monster tore his clothes with a ripping sound, but the sharp claws only left a white mark on his body.

With the Eagle Claw Iron Body Technique perfected, his skin is harder than armor, and monsters cannot hurt him even if they grab him for a minute.

He wanted to rush forward in one go, but Zhou Yaning kept shouting from behind, so he had no choice but to stop and wait for the people behind to meet up with him.

"What is that?!"

Zhou Yaning walked up to him and asked people while shooting.

"I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the fog." Lu Chengchuan didn't know either. He received the call from the ball of light, but he didn't know what it was or what it was for.

The team was approaching the ball of light step by step. There were more and more monsters around them. Most of the monsters in the fog were low-level zombies and ghouls. Even if they had strong vitality, they could not block too many bullets.

When the team got here, there were only more than a hundred people left, and more than a hundred guns were spraying bullets, so only a few monsters could get close.

Lu Chengchuan kept swinging his sword to kill the monsters in front, while Zhou Yaning and the others fired on both sides. With them leading the way, even if the monsters tried their best to intercept, they could not stop the team.

A few minutes later, they fought their way to the ball of light.

The ball of light was more than one meter in diameter and floated in front of everyone. In stark contrast to the dark fog, the ball of light emitted a soft warm light, and everyone standing around it could feel the warmth.

【Sensing pure energy, absorbing it.】

Feeling the warmth, Lu Chengchuan's brain system suddenly sounded a prompt.

The system is absorbing the energy of the light ball. He doesn't know what the fog will become after absorbing the light ball. After thinking about it, it will at least not be worse than it is now.

"Have you noticed that the ball of light is getting smaller?"

The soldiers formed a circle to block the monsters. Several people from the Investigation Bureau observed the ball of light in the circle. As they watched, Zhou Yaning discovered that the ball of light was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhou Yaning's mind was in a mess. They came and did nothing, and the ball of light began to shrink automatically.

Seeing Lu Chengchuan standing next to her, she suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Mr. Lu, do you know why it has become smaller?"

It was he who said at the beginning that there was something here, and when they came over they indeed saw a ball of light, proving that what Lu Chengchuan said was correct.

She had no time to think about it before because she was dealing with monsters. Now she realized that Lu Chengchuan might have known that there was a ball of light here, and the reason why the ball of light became smaller was because of him.

"I don't understand what you mean." Lu Chengchuan denied it of course.

There was no point in taking responsibility for something like this. The shrinking of the light ball was indeed related to him, but he would not admit it.

His current strength is not enough to confront the country. Once he is released, even if he is not arrested for research, he will have too many days of freedom in the future.

He had been lying in bed for several years and didn't want to stay in another place for a few more years.

Lu Chengchuan denied it, and Zhou Yaning had no choice but to turn away.

In just two minutes, the ball of light shrank to the size of a fist and was still shrinking. While waiting, the gunfire around stopped.

The monsters in the fog were not endless. Relying on the guns in their hands, the soldiers killed all the monsters that came up, until the light ball disappeared from Zhou Yaning and the others' sight, and no monsters attacked.

【Successfully absorbed energy and gained 20 years of life.】

The ball of light disappeared, and Lu Chengchuan's mind echoed with the system's voice. After absorbing the ball of light, he gained 20 years of life, which was a pleasant surprise for him.

He killed a lot of monsters along the way, and combined with his remaining lifespan, he now has 41 years to squander.

He has forty-one years to live. Even if he does nothing from today on, he can still live to be over sixty years old.

A few days ago, he was lying in bed waiting to die, needing help even to drink a cup of hot water. Now, he has become a powerful warrior who can easily kill people with a wave of his hand.

But Lu Chengchuan was not satisfied with this, he wanted to become stronger and live longer.

Just as he was happy, the fog also changed. The ball of light disappeared, and the strange fog surged towards where they were standing. Countless fogs gathered together, and everyone's vision was blocked by the fog, making them unable to see the people next to them.

"Stand still and don't panic!"

Fortunately, the fog could not block the sound. Zhou Yaning's shout broke through the black fog and echoed in everyone's ears. Then the military commander gave orders.

The fog rushed in madly and they were sucked into a place invisible to the naked eye.

Endless fog poured into the unknown space. At some point, everyone's eyes lit up and the fog disappeared. The lights of the mall shone on them, and no one could react immediately.

Lu Chengchuan looked around and found that they were standing in the corner of the first floor of the shopping mall, with a hundred people crowded there.

"What's going on?" Zhou Yaning couldn't help but ask again.

She was asking Lu Chengchuan what this guy had done and why the fog suddenly disappeared.

"I really don't know. That ball of light is probably the energy source of the fog. When the ball of light disappears, the fog will dissipate. That's probably how it is."

When the ball of light disappeared, the fog also disappeared. There must be a close connection between the two. Lu Chengchuan told her the answer, but he would not say why the ball of light disappeared.

"Energy source...energy source."

Zhou Yaning knew that the fog disappeared because the ball of light was gone, but what she couldn't understand was why the ball of light disappeared.

She vaguely knew that it was related to Lu Chengchuan, but she had no evidence.

"Tell them the news quickly. As long as the energy source is destroyed, the fog will dissipate." Lu Chengchuan reminded her to report the information quickly.

Lu Chengchuan knew that Zhou Yaning was suspicious of him, but it was just suspicion and he couldn't do anything to him.

Compared to Lu Chengchuan alone, the black fog was the most important issue. Zhou Yaning didn't want to delay finding a solution to the black fog. "Captain Chen, let's go back and report this to the leadership."

More than a hundred people left the mall and went back to report the situation to their superiors so that other cities would also know how to solve the black fog problem.
