Seeing that Nan Yu insisted, Li Yihang reluctantly stood up and said, "Then I'll see you off."

Together with Yan Feng, he escorted Lu Ning and the others downstairs.

Nan Yu then led the group to the parking lot.

Nan Yu and his group also drove over; there were four SUVs in total, and each person got into one of them.

Including Lu Ning's SUV, there are a total of five vehicles.

After the convoy started, it headed towards the gate of the base city.

The city wall of the base city, at the gate.

Two teams of soldiers in silver-white protective suits were on duty.

Many vehicles and adventurers entered and exited through the gate.

Lu Ning had heard before that some Free Awakeners would try their luck outside the base city.

Staff members stood on one side of the gate, using instruments to check everyone entering and leaving, and only those whose mental pollution level was not a problem were allowed to pass.

Although Lu Ning and his group were members of the Fog Bureau, they were no exception.

When the staff checked Lu Ning, they looked at the equipment and exclaimed in surprise, "Hmm? Is there something wrong with the equipment?"

The staff member standing nearby looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"

The staff member conducting the inspection said, "...The level of mental pollution is 0. The instrument seems to be malfunctioning."

The staff member standing nearby immediately frowned: "How is that possible?"

Just then, Lu Ning spoke up: "No problem, my mental pollution level is 0."

This surprised the staff and pedestrians nearby, who looked over in astonishment.

Seeing the two staff members' expressions of disbelief, Lu Ning calmly said, "You can verify with the Fog Bureau. This is my identification."

Lu Ning handed over his identification as a member of the Fog Bureau's action team.

"It's Commander Lu. Please wait a moment while I verify something."

One of the staff members glanced at the ID, took out his phone, and made a call.

After the call was connected, the staff member immediately inquired about Lu Ning's situation.

Once it was confirmed, the staff member looked at Lu Ning with shock.

After hanging up the phone, he smiled and said, "Commander Lu, I'm sorry to have taken up your time."

Lu Ning shook her head: "It's okay, can I go now?"

"sure!"

Lu Ning drove his SUV and caught up with the other SUVs that had already driven out of the gate.

He could also vaguely hear the two staff members talking.

Is the level of "mental pollution" really 0?

"Hmm, isn't that outrageous? I can hardly believe it myself."

"Holy crap... this is so awesome! There's not a bit of mental pollution involved."

"yes……"

…………

Upon arriving outside the base city, Lu Ning's first impression was that the mental pollution in the air was much stronger than inside the base city.

Within the base city, Lu Ning is normally unable to see the mental radiation.

However, outside the base city, Lu Ning could see with his naked eye that many areas were shrouded in white mist.

Although the white mist was very thin, it was almost invisible if you didn't look closely.

However, the formation of white mist indicates that this area has a strong spiritual radiation.

The second feeling was one of desolation.

After leaving the base city, Lu Ning felt as if he had arrived on an uninhabited planet. The roads were all made of compacted soil, completely different from those in the city.

The roadside was filled with wasteland, weeds, yellow earth, and dense forests... everything was deserted, yet it had a unique beauty.

Lu Ning drove his car, following the SUV in front, along the road.

In some areas where there are no roads, people simply drive over wasteland and grass.

And so they moved slowly, until the sun began to set and the clouds on the horizon turned orange-red.

Just then, the SUV in front changed direction, sped through the roadside bushes, and headed towards a flat area not far away.

As the first SUV changed direction, the other SUVs followed suit, including Lu Ning's.

Once the vehicle reached level ground, it stopped.

Nan Yu got out of the car and said to the vehicles behind him, "Let's spend the night here. Let's put the cars in a circle and camp inside."

"Okay, Captain!"

A sound came from the car behind, and then several cars stopped next to the first SUV, forming a circle with an empty space in the center.

After that, everyone got off the bus one after another.

Nan Yu began assigning tasks: "Eileen, Song Sinian, you two go and collect some wood. Dennis, Cheng Yue, you two investigate the surrounding area and identify any dangers. Lin Menglan, build some fortifications on the side. The rest of you, take a break."

The group that received the task nodded and then left.

The remaining few people simply sat down on the ground.

Sitting next to Lu Ning was Shirley, a very beautiful young woman with unusual long white hair.

She looked at Lu Ning with a hint of curiosity: "Was it really true when they checked at the gate before? Your level of mental pollution is 0?"

Upon hearing this, everyone except Nan Yu looked at Lu Ning with curiosity.

Lu Ning nodded slightly: "Yes, it's 0."

A handsome, tall, black-haired young man standing nearby couldn't help but exclaim, "How is that possible? How can a human have a level of mental pollution of 0?"

This black-haired youth is Xu Hui.

Another woman with brown skin and a muscular build, who also looked at Lu Ning with some disbelief, said, "I've never heard of anyone who isn't affected by mental pollution either."

The woman's name was Afaf.

Before Lu Ning could explain, Nan Yu, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "It's true."

The other three looked at Nan Yu, and Xu Hui exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Captain, are you kidding me?"
