Fang Lan and the others followed and got into the ambulance.

Colin couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he took off his trench coat and handed it to Lu Ning.

Lu Ning silently put it on and said, "Thank you."

Colin sat down next to Lu Ning, adjusted his glasses, and said, "What's there to thank me for? What exactly did you encounter in the fog? How did you all end up like this?"

He examined the thick scabs on Lu Ning's body that weren't covered by his trench coat and said incredulously, "...With this much blood loss, how many times have you died?"

Lu Ning thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I died too many times, I didn't remember."

He did die quite a few times during the final battle against the corrosive giant hand, especially when he used his body to block the dim yellow mist, he died two or three times almost every second.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lan and the others looked at Lu Ning with disbelief.

They had witnessed Lu Ning's strength firsthand.

Previously, Lu Ning single-handedly wiped out the horde of calamity beasts. Although his strength was not as great as that of a Saint, it was not far off.

Even someone as strong as Lu Ning has died countless times?

Just how dangerous is it?

Li Yihang's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but ask, "...What exactly did you encounter?"

Yan Feng, standing nearby, joked, "You guys didn't run into an evil god, did you?"

Lu Ning and Qinglan Saint silently looked up at him.

Yan Feng's smile vanished abruptly. He looked at the two of them with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty: "...I was just kidding, you two didn't actually run into each other, did you?!"

Saint Qinglan calmly said, "We encountered a projection of an evil god, a demigod."

The entire carriage fell into a deathly silence.

Yan Feng and the others looked at each other in disbelief, their faces filled with shock.

Demigod level... With this level of strength, destroying a small base city like Base City 116 would be a piece of cake!

Lu Ning and his group actually encountered such a terrifying being?!

Fang Lan immediately asked, "My Lord, what is the current situation of that evil god projection? Shouldn't we first notify headquarters and ask the demigods there to come and provide support?!"

At this moment, Fang Lan even wondered if Qinglan Saint and Lu Ning had been corrupted.

Why wasn't such important news told right away when we first met?!

A demigod! Once that demigod breaks out of the mist, the entire Base City 116 will probably be destroyed!

Noticing Fang Lan's tension, Saint Qinglan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, that evil god projection has already been destroyed."

Upon hearing this, the initially shocked crowd was now somewhat taken aback.

"...Destroyed? That was a demigod!" Yan Feng said in disbelief.

After becoming the bureau chief, Li Yihang was clearly more diplomatic: "It's not that we don't trust you, Saint, but... the power of a demigod is so great, how can you and Lu Ning alone eliminate him?"

Saint Qinglan briefly recounted what she had encountered in the mist.

Colin and the others' expressions changed constantly upon hearing this.

Especially when they heard that they had actually encountered the souls of Lin Xiao and Wei Xuan in the mist, everyone present felt a mixture of envy and sadness.

When they heard that the evil god possessed the power of death and had almost driven them to the brink of despair, they were terrified.

Once Lu Ning and the others die, the evil god projection could grow to an unimaginable level.

The moment He left the mist was the moment Base City 116 was destroyed.

After the Sage Qinglan finished speaking, the carriage fell into a long silence once again.

Then Li Yi slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said gratefully to the Saint Qinglan, "Thank you, Saint, for risking your lives to defeat that evil god projection. Otherwise... this would have been the end of Base City 116."

Saint Qinglan nodded, then pointed at Lu Ning: "You should thank Lu Ning... To be honest, without Lu Ning, we would all probably have died there."

Saint Qinglan asked himself honestly, without Lu Ning, they probably wouldn't have been able to even get through that death space, let alone face that rotting giant hand.

Without Lu Ning, they might have died in the Death Space, and even if they had come out of the Death Space, they would not have been a match for the Rotting Giant Hand.

Upon hearing what Saint Qinglan said, Colin and the others looked at Saint Qinglan in astonishment.

They hadn't expected Lu Ning's role to be so important.

Saint Qinglan didn't explain much, he just smiled and then closed his eyes to rest.

The previous battle had exhausted his mental energy, not to mention the repeated death threats from the rotting giant hand, which had severely injured him.

After a moment of silence, Colin looked at Lu Ning and asked, "Lu Ning... how are the captain and Wei Xuan?"

Lu Ning calmly said, "They're still dead, just like before."

Colin: [?_??]

His lips twitched slightly: "What I mean is, after their souls were resurrected, did they say anything to you?"

Lu Ning nodded and told Colin what Wei Xuan and Lin Xiao had said.

After listening, Colin's eyes reddened slightly, and he grinned, saying, "That's really Captain's style. Even in death, he can't shake off that old lady-like nagging."

He shook his head, rubbed his nose, and then casually touched the corner of his eye before falling silent.

Yan Feng and Li Yihang, who were standing nearby, came over, their expressions also showing some nostalgia, and asked, "Lu Ning... have you seen Director Wang?"

Lu Ning nodded: "Mm."

Their eyes lit up, and Yan Feng quickly asked, "How is he?"

"They're still dead."
