Jerry then sighed and said, "We're just a little worried. Of course we know the dangers of exploring the mist. I certainly won't desert."

Hearing Jerry say this, the others also expressed their intention to stay, and no one said they wanted to leave.

An Lan grinned: "Hehe, that makes more sense. As long as a person dies with value, it doesn't really matter when they die."

Gina retorted, "Old An, let's say something auspicious. Actually, I don't really want to die."

An Lan smiled and said, "Just kidding. Now that it's decided, shall we go in?"

Saint Qinglan nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll go first and stay vigilant at all times."

The others nodded with serious expressions.

The group then descended from the mountains and headed towards the city gate of the base city.

They were tens of meters away from the city wall earlier.

Now, as they get closer to the city walls, they feel the spiritual pollution growing stronger.

When they stood under the city gate, Lu Ning felt that the spiritual pollution here was even higher than that in the research room where the Fallen Incense Burner had been before.

In such a mentally polluted environment, low-level awakened individuals would likely become ill within a few breaths.

Even mid-level Awakened Ones can't last long.

Fortunately, everyone present was a high-level Awakened One with considerable strength. Although they felt somewhat uncomfortable in such a mentally polluted environment, their combat power was not significantly affected.

Unlike the base city outside, there were no guards at the city gate, nor were there any staff checking the level of mental pollution.

To be precise, there was no one there.

Through the city gate, they saw that the city's interior consisted of somewhat dilapidated streets and a sparse number of pedestrians.

When Lu Ning saw one of the somewhat familiar figures, his eyes widened slightly.

He saw Wei Xuan.
