"What happened?" Yan Qing looked at the swirling, thin white mist, his expression constantly changing.

However, the white fog soon subsided.

Along with the calm, the illusory ripples also subsided.

Lu Ning put the glass ball into his pocket and began to pick out the eyeballs from his body one by one.

Watching Lu Ning gouge out his eyeballs, Yan Qing was filled with questions.

Colin, however, breathed a sigh of relief. He adjusted his glasses and asked, "Lu Ning, what happened to you just now? I thought you were really sick."

Lu Ning threw the gouged-out eyeballs on the ground and stomped on them, making a squelching sound.

He calmly replied, "I tried to use my mental power to isolate the mental pollution in the illusory star realm, which consumed some of my mental power. The batch of white mist from the eyeballs that I absorbed last time has started to riot again."

Colin suddenly realized, and then he said, "You startled me. You should have told me beforehand. And the sudden glare from your eyes was even scarier."

Lu Ning tilted his head and glanced at Colin, saying, "I didn't notice just now."

Colin's lips twitched, his face flushed slightly, and his breathing quickened.

Yan Qing, standing nearby, interrupted their conversation. She looked at Lu Ning with suspicion and asked, "Are you really not sick?"

"No."

"What are you doing now... Can you please stop stepping on these eyeballs?!" Yan Qing looked at Lu Ning, who kept stepping on the eyeballs, his expression was a little distorted, and he got goosebumps all over his body.

Lu Ning was taken aback, then gouged out an eyeball and handed it to her: "You want it?"

Yan Qing: [?_??]

"No need to thank me."

"oh."

Splat, splat!

Yan Qing took a deep breath, her face turning red just like Colin's.

She asked, "Then what's wrong with your eyes?"

"It's just a minor problem, it'll be fixed soon."

Lu Ning reached into his clothes and gouged out two more eyeballs, then threw them on the ground and stomped on them.

Then he clapped his hands and said, "It's all gone."

Before Yan Qing could speak, Colin nodded and said, "So what do we do next? Those ripples just now looked like they were created by the illusory astral plane?"

Lu Ning nodded: "Yes, I've eliminated the spatial dimension. Now everyone in headquarters should be able to see it."

Yan Qing's eyes turned green with envy.

She was about to say, "Is that all?"

That's a disease!

However, the next moment, an enormous roar resounded.

The entire headquarters building seemed to be shaking violently.

Lu Ning and the other two looked at the cracks that had appeared on the metal alloy ceiling.

Colin's expression changed slightly: "Headquarters is extremely well-fortified. This commotion... it must be Director Wang and his team making their move! Let's go over there!"

Lu Ning nodded and ran towards the sixth floor.

Colin followed closely behind.

Seeing that the two of them had ignored her and just ran off, Yan Qing didn't have time to think about Lu Ning's eyeballs earlier, and quickly followed after them.

As the three ran down the corridor, they felt the entire building shaking, and more and more cracks appeared on the ceiling.

Even the floor seemed unable to withstand the force, and cracks appeared.

The next moment, an angry roar came down from the ceiling.

Lu Ning could clearly feel the temperature in the corridor rise sharply, and wisps of flame emerged from the cracks in the ceiling.

When the flames died down, the temperature did not drop.

Yan Qing frowned and asked, "Is this Yan Feng's ability?"

Colin adjusted his glasses, his expression very serious: "Although he is not weak, he couldn't possibly be this strong. He must have used a Soul Weapon, and not just any Soul Weapon, but most likely a mid-level Soul Weapon."

"Yan Feng used a mid-level soul weapon? It seems the battle up there is quite intense."

After the flames, the roaring sound continued without stopping.

Lu Ning and his two companions moved extremely fast, arriving at the stairwell in no time, and then ran upstairs.

I just arrived on the sixth floor.

Lu Ning sensed that the concentration of spiritual radiation was higher here, and the white fog in the air was also thicker.

The concentration of spiritual radiation in one direction far exceeded that in the other directions.

Lu Ning also knew that direction; it was the direction of the research lab that studied the Corruption Incense when they passed by it last time they came to see Li Mu.

Lu Ning and the other two ran in that direction.

The corridor floor was littered with corpses along the way.

These bodies included patients with underlying health conditions, members of action teams, members of the defense force, and even medical personnel.

On one side of the corridor, Lu Ning saw a familiar figure lying in a pool of blood; it was Ning Wang.

Lu Ning's eyes flashed for a moment, then he looked away.

With no infected individuals blocking their way, Lu Ning and his companions quickly approached the research lab at their pace.

Just then, the alloy wall shattered, and a huge figure flew out.

Lu Ning recognized him immediately.

It was the same Li Yihang he had first seen when he woke up at headquarters.

Li Yihang's entire body had turned a black iron color, reflecting a metallic luster.

However, his metal body already had quite a few cracks.

Li Yi held a long-handled warhammer in his hand.

The warhammer gleamed with a black light and looked incredibly heavy.

Li Yihang crashed into the corridor wall, denting it.

He coughed up a mouthful of rusty blood, then struggled to his feet.

Upon seeing Lu Ning and the other two, he paused for a moment, then said, "Come and help!"

After saying that, he immediately rushed back towards the direction from which he had been flying backwards.

The roar of engines was incessant in the direction Li and his party were heading.
