Lu Ning slowly shook his head: "I don't know, I don't think I've ever seen her before."

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in everyone's eyes.

Yan Bing's appearance is of great significance.

It's unbelievable that a human could survive for so long after being swallowed by the mist, and even rise from the original ninth rank to the demigod level.

If we could know how Yan Bing did it, it would be a historic moment for all of humanity.

Putting everything else aside, as long as we can survive in the fog for a long time, even if the Earth is covered by fog, humanity will not be completely wiped out.

They might even be able to survive and reproduce in the mist, and grow stronger again.

Lin Xiao asked, "Didn't you say you walked in the mist for a long time? Could it be that you saw it then?"

Lu Ning shook his head: "I didn't see anyone in the mist."

Upon hearing Lu Ning's words, everyone fell silent.

"It's a pity Yan Bing has left." Saint Qinglan sighed, and the others nodded in agreement.

They talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the location where An Lan and the others were.

Although Steve and Yang Yin were seriously injured, they were awakened individuals with enhanced physical abilities, so they recovered quickly. They had already found Lu Ning and Saint Qinglan with the help of Li Xiao and the others.

As for Nan Yu and Gina, their injuries are extremely serious, and they are currently unable to move.

Anlan and Jerry are still unconscious.

Saint Qinglan glanced at the several seriously injured and unconscious people, frowned and said, "We need to take them out for treatment as soon as possible to avoid any lasting effects."

The others nodded slightly as well.

Steve seemed to realize something and looked at Li Xiao and the others: "What about them?"

Qinglan also looked at Li Xiao and the others, and asked, "Now that the phantom of the giant hand in the sky has disappeared, can you leave the base city?"

Li Xiao and the others' eyes lit up.

"We haven't tried it yet, but we can give it a shot!"

Just as one of the deceased was about to try it.

Suddenly, the entire base city began to shake.

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

"Could it be that the evil god's avatar is still alive??" Saint Qinglan looked around with a grim expression.

However, the expression on Qinglan Saint's face quickly froze.

Like him, there were others like Lu Ning.

They all saw the source of the shaking in the base city.

The edge of the base city seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, a force that caused the ruins of the base city to dissipate into points of light.

As the base city began to collapse and dissipate, some of the dead cried out in alarm.

My body!

Everyone suddenly turned their heads to look.

Then they saw tiny spots of light appear on the body of a young deceased man, and then his body began to glow from his fingers, gradually dissipating.

Upon seeing this, everyone fell silent.

Li Xiao smiled casually: "Looks like we're still not able to get out."

He turned to look at Saint Qinglan, his eyes filled with complex emotions and memories: "I still remember when you first joined the team, you were just a little kid. Time flies. That little kid who used to cry has now become a saint."

Saint Qinglan remained silent.

Li Xiao said calmly, "Seeing that you are doing well puts my mind at ease. If there really is an afterlife, I will tell my old friends when I see them, so they can rest assured."

The Saint Qinglan remained silent, his eyes slightly red.

Li Xiao stepped forward, intending to pat Qinglan Saint's shoulder, but found that his body had turned into a phantom, and his hand passed through Qinglan Saint's shoulder.

He glanced at his palm; his fingertips had already begun to glow and dissipate.

Li Xiao withdrew his gaze and smiled at the Saint Qinglan: "Cheer up, and be careful in the future, don't die."

The corner of Qinglan Saint's mouth twitched slightly. He took a deep breath and slowly nodded: "I will be careful."

Li Xiao smiled with relief: "Thank you for your hard work, Qinglan..."

Li Xiao's words slowly faded away with the fluorescent light.

While Qinglan Saint was saying goodbye to Li Xiao, Lin Xiao, Li Fu, Karen, and others were surrounding Lu Ning.

Li Fu said, "Lu Ning... could you please take good care of Ke Qing for me? Her mother and I can't take care of her anymore... thank you for your help."

Lu Ning nodded silently: "Mm."

Karen then asked, "By the way, Lu Ning, how's Base City 121 doing?"

The other high-ranking officials from the Fog Bureau of Base City 121 also looked at Lu Ning.

"It has already been destroyed by the Saint Qinglan."

Many high-ranking officials of Bureau 121 fell silent.

"Is that so... Well, that's true, considering what happened back then..."

Perhaps it was the demise of the base city they had been protecting that made the high-ranking officials of the Mist Bureau lose their interest in speaking.

Lin Xiao looked at Lu Ning and said with a smile, "I don't have anything to say. With Colin here and you here, I think our base city should be fine, and the others should be fine too."

Lu Ning nodded: 'They're all doing well now.'

Lin Xiao smiled and asked, "Have you gotten used to life at the Mist Bureau? Is there anything you're having trouble adjusting to in the base city?"

Lu Ning listened to Lin Xiao's familiar words of concern and fell silent for a moment.

He shook his head: "They're all pretty good."

"That's good. If you have any problems, just ask Colin. I can't help you with anything else in the future."

Lu Ning looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Captain, you've helped me a lot. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have adapted to this era so quickly."

"Haha, we're from the same branch, we're family." Lin Xiao waved his hand and just smiled.
