"Captain Li! There are no survivors!"

"Go! Fight your way out! Rejoin the other teams!"

"Ke Qing, Salong, Feng Ye, let's lead the way!"

Li Mu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and, along with Ke Qing and several other high-level awakened individuals, led the way, charging towards the monsters on the street.

The sounds of fighting echoed, along with the booming and colliding noises.

Behind these powerful figures from the Mist Bureau and the Awakened Legion were the civilians from the base city who had been rescued.

Fortunately, even ordinary people can now become second-tier awakeners after using awakening crystals and then refining their spiritual power with liquid spiritual power, after more than three years.

Despite the immense pressure they face from the intense spiritual pollution, they can barely manage to cope.

They followed behind these powerful figures from the Fog Bureau and the Awakened Legion, their eyes filled with terror.

They don't know why it turned out this way.

However, this is a major disaster, and no one can remain uninvolved.

Fortunately, they were there; they shielded ordinary people from all danger.

Just then, a scream rang out as Deritmi of the Seventh Operations Team was pierced by a sharp tentacle, his body instantly torn apart.

Chen Xingyu, who was standing next to him, had red eyes.

"Derry! Die!"

He took out a dark gray rock, poured his mental energy into it, and then stomped heavily on the ground.

The ground shook violently ahead, and a series of sharp earth spikes shot out, piercing and killing a row of monsters in front of them.

After using this one-time high-risk dangerous substance, cracks gradually appeared on Chen Xingyu's body, and the area around the cracks began to petrify.

Yu Ran glanced at Chen Xingyu, her face showing concern: "Brother Chen?! Are you alright?"

Li Mu glanced at Chen Xingyu and shouted, "Now's the time to break out!"

Chen Xingyu's outburst cleared away the obstacles in their path, presenting them with an excellent opportunity.

The group rushed out of the street, and before they could even catch their breath, they felt a terrifying mental fluctuation spreading outwards.

The mental fluctuations were very close to them, and the pollution they carried was also quite powerful.

In just a moment, a large number of second-tier awakened individuals behind them instantly fell ill.

The awakened individuals who had not yet developed the disease suffered numerous casualties due to the suddenness of the attack.

Fortunately, the powerful members of the Awakened Legion have been keeping an eye on this place.

They killed the infected person immediately.

Li Mu and the others stared blankly in the direction from which the spiritual energy was coming.

In this direction, amidst ruins, a terrifying monster, hundreds of meters tall, is slowly solidifying from illusion into reality.

It was a humanoid monster with rotting wings and two hideous heads.

The monster exuded a dense aura of death, and the ruins where it stood seemed to have fallen into a deathly silence under the influence of this aura.

Even those who were some distance away, like Li Mu, could feel their lives slipping away.

Wang Qiwen swallowed hard, his voice hoarse: "...What kind of monster is that?"

Just then, Yu Ran, who was standing nearby, suddenly let out a terrified gasp: "...Look over there!"

The group turned their heads and looked in the direction Yu Ran was pointing.

In the distant ruins, another ferocious monster looms in and out of sight.

The monster's tentacles writhed on its back, also emanating an incredibly strong spiritual pollution.

In another direction, another equally enormous and terrifying monster had already solidified.

Upon seeing these three terrifying monsters, a look of despair appeared in the eyes of Li Mu and the others.

"Is this a demigod-level monster?!"

"Why would such a powerful monster materialize?"

They couldn't believe that such a terrifying monster could appear in Base City 116, which was clearly just a small base city.

Despair spread in everyone's hearts.

As despair sets in and mental breakdowns occur, another group of awakened individuals become ill.

Even among high-level awakened individuals, signs of disease have appeared.

The high-ranking member of the Awakened Legion named Feng Ye immediately became a mutated individual.

Fortunately, Li Mu and his men discovered him in time and killed him without hesitation.

After killing Feng Ye, Li Mu glanced at the four eyes that had reappeared on his arm, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and gouged out all four eyeballs.

Her arm was now pitted and bleeding profusely.

Although he removed the affected area, Li Mu knew that this was merely a temporary fix, and the disease could recur at any time.

The others also noticed something was wrong with Li Mu, but they were equally helpless.

Ke Qing's flesh and blood were writhing more and more frequently, as if she might become ill at any moment.

Wang Qiwen's body has already shown signs of liquefaction in some areas.

Wang Qiwen gave a bitter smile: "It seems we're all going to die here today."

Silver threads appeared around Yu Ran. She pursed her lips and said with some regret, "It's a pity... I haven't seen Brother Lu Ning in so long. I want to see him again."

Li Mu, Ke Qing, and Wang Qiwen also fell silent.

Just then, a twisted passage appeared in the sky.

A powerful mental fluctuation emanated from the passage, attracting the attention of Li Mu and the others.

The next moment, they saw a somewhat familiar figure fly out.

Upon seeing that figure, Wang Qiwen's eyes widened, revealing a look of astonishment.

He swallowed hard: "...This is...Lu Ning?!"

Li Mu's breath hitched, and he stared straight at Lu Ning in the sky.
