Chapter 166 Heartfelt Talk
Xu Zhiyang raised his head, leaned closer to Zhuci and said something.
Zhu Ci's expression turned cold, and his gaze slashed through the crowd like an icy thorn.
"We don't have much oxygen. If we keep arguing like this, we'll either suffocate to death or get corroded by the miasma when we get out."
It was completely quiet now, and several special forces soldiers hid aside in embarrassment.
The miasma here is extremely terrifying and is fatal to any living thing.
If inhaled, the mildest consequence is coma and paralysis, while the worst is that the whole body turns black and the person dies of poisoning.
Ji Chen and Qin Shiyu were analyzing the miasma.
"Be especially careful of the swamp when you go in tomorrow... This is the first time I've seen such a corrosive miasma."
Qin Shiyu: "After the apocalypse, most animals mutated. Even those that were originally non-venomous became poisonous. As these large animals died and rotted, they produced many harmful substances."
"Yeah, but then again, you should be almost at level two, right?"
Qin Shiyu smiled and said, "It's almost there. I just need to absorb a little more wood energy."
Ji Chen nodded: "Yes, I hope I can reach the second level soon."
When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shines through the cracks in the rocks, the thick white mist in the air gradually dissipates.
Xu Zhiyang retracted the barrier, but he could no longer maintain it. All his wood energy was used up and his nerves were too tense.
"I'm so sleepy." Xu Zhiyang muttered softly and fell asleep leaning on Zhu Ci's shoulder.
Zhu Ci gently lifted the boy's chin with his palm and was relieved to see that his neck had returned to its original skin color.
He gently moved the person in his arms, changing the position so that Xu Zhiyang could sleep more comfortably.
Half an hour later, everyone woke up one after another.
Ji Chen lowered his voice and told them to set off after breakfast.
Li Huiyin brought a bowl of instant noodles to Zhu Ci, "Brother, how about I hug him for a while?"
Zhu Ci glanced at her and said, "No, thank you."
"Then you should eat first. We won't feel energetic if we don't eat."
"Um."
I didn't wake Xu Zhiyang up. He probably wanted to sleep a little longer than eat.
After a quick breakfast, everyone climbed onto the backs of their mounts, just as they had discussed yesterday.
Xu Zhiyang no longer needed to use energy to remove the plants at the entrance of the cave because they had all been corroded by the poisonous miasma.
"It seems that the plants in Shennongjia have long adapted to these miasma, and most of them are still in good condition." Qin Shiyu said.
Ji Chen said softly: "Survival of the fittest, this is the law of the end times now."
Li Huiyin was lazily lying on the dog's head basking in the sun, and when she heard the two people talking, she interrupted.
"This miasma has its upsides, isn't it? We've been quite peaceful this morning—no mutant animals have attacked us."
After saying that, Li Huiyin yawned and turned around to see someone still sleeping soundly in someone else's arms.
"Or we can wake him up. The road ahead is difficult to walk on, and there is a cliff on one side." Ji Chen suggested.
Zhu Ci nodded and called Xu Zhiyang softly twice, and the latter then opened his eyes in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhiyang rubbed his eyes and sat up, looking confused.
Zhu Ci particularly liked Xu Zhiyang's silly look, as her body had woken up but her brain had not yet caught up.
I couldn't help but reach out and pinch the boy's cheek.
"We're about to reach a cliff, and the road is unsafe."
After saying this, he took out some bread and milk from his backpack and asked, "Would you like to eat something first?"
"Okay." Xu Zhiyang filled his stomach casually.
At this time, Momo had already walked to a steep road.
On one side is a stone wall, and on the other side is a bottomless cliff.
And this path looks more like it was trampled by people.
"Then I'm going to get on the moose's back, be careful." Xu Zhiyang stood up, his wings spread out from behind him.
Congratulations: "Okay, be careful."
Fu Qingbai squeezed Xu Zhiyang's fingers and said, "Call me brother if you need anything."
Xu Zhiyang smiled slightly, nodded, spread his wings and flapped them twice before landing on the moose's back.
The moose was not averse to Xu Zhiyang, and even liked him a little. When it saw Xu Zhiyang falling on its back, it called out to him softly.
Xu Zhiyang ignored it.
I still remember the time when I almost got myself killed.
Xu Zhiyang looked around and saw the obvious surprise on Ning Zhe's face.
Xu Zhiyang suddenly smiled: "Surprised? Do you think we were just fooling around with you last night?"
Ning Zhe blushed when he heard what he was thinking, stiffened his neck and ignored him.
Geng Bing smiled and said, "Don't mind it, Brother Xu. He has a bad temper and doesn't know much."
"It's okay, but if you have any unhappiness in the future, try not to show it in front of others."
Xu Zhiyang said calmly, "The special forces accompanying us this time are all top-tier. They fight when they're upset and rarely argue... A fight like yesterday would bring shame to the Shennongjia base."
Ning Zhe's face was grim, and he said stubbornly, "We will risk our lives to accompany you..."
"Everyone who comes here is prepared to sacrifice themselves. They are no different from you." Xu Zhiyang interrupted him.
"The Fire Team's speedsters and Black Panther mutants are quite strong and have faster reaction times than you."
"Since we agreed to accompany you, we will go to rescue anyone in danger. But what you said yesterday was very disrespectful to the two psychics who wanted to help."
Ning Zhe fell silent.
Xu Zhiyang added: "We come here to advance and kill those powerful mutant creatures at the same time, so that the humans around Shennongjia can be safer."
"No one owes anyone anything. We will not look down on anyone who comes to Shennongjia with us."
Xu Zhiyang said the last sentence while looking at Geng Bing.
Geng Bing was originally afraid that he would be used as cannon fodder, but after hearing what Xu Zhiyang said, he felt a little ashamed.
Ning Zhe's eyes also turned red.
Xu Zhiyang was no longer so sharp, and instead softened his tone.
"We are united and we advance and retreat together."
Xu Zhiyang smiled at everyone in Team Six.
"Yes, unity is the most important thing. We cannot fight among ourselves."
"Yeah, with you, the legendary omnipotent superpower, here, we... what's that phrase? Oh, right! We feel especially safe!"
Geng Bing laughed heartily and said aloud, "What's the motto of our Sixth Squad?"
Several special forces soldiers said in unison: "I am invincible!"
Zhu Ci and others in front heard it and turned to look at them.
"Come on! Give me some encouragement!" Geng Bing stretched out his hand with the back of his hand facing up.
Xu Zhiyang thought that only his team was immature, but it turns out that everyone is immature.
"I'll come too." Xu Zhiyang quickly rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand.
More than ten people put their hands together, then raised them high with a cheer.
Li Huiyin looked at it eagerly: "I want to join too!"
The moose was crossing the cliff. Xu Zhiyang saw that Ning Zhe's face was pale, and he was obviously afraid of heights.
So he said, "Ning Zhe."
Ning Zhe looked over timidly.
"You are very brave. You are very brave to come to Shennongjia."
Ning Zhe was stunned and no longer paid attention to the terrifying abyss beside him.
"Thank...thank you." He said hesitantly.
"You're welcome. Tell the truth."
Xu Zhiyang smiled, turned around and sat down.
The boy held a fan between his fingers, and looked so relaxed that he didn't seem to be on a mission, but rather on an outing.
Ning Zhe thought that people with superpowers were all arrogant.
However, this group of people seemed different.
Ning Zhe hesitated and was about to say something...
But suddenly at this moment, a terrifying sound of stone cracking was heard above their heads!
Xu Zhiyang suddenly raised his head and looked upwards!
