Chapter 195 Black Mud's Weakness
The black mud kept rising, and if you stood on it without any precautions, you could feel the pain of your skin melting, and your whole foot would stick to the black mud.
Everyone was running for their lives, and no one knew what was going on.
Dang Hongyuan guessed that only William and his group knew the secret of the island.
As soon as they approached the coast, they spotted several warships and cruise ships from the federal base, with many people boarding them.
Yang Xie whispered, "I suspect they've been planning to abandon this island for a long time."
Dang Hongyuan replied, "That's right. They're planning to move to the mainland. After all, it's not safe on the island, and the alien creature that had been helping them was eliminated by the Law Enforcers."
"Should we stop them now?" the attendant asked in a low voice.
“No, we’re going to sea,” Dang Hongyuan said.
Attacking here offers a chance of escape, but the sea is a truly perilous place with nowhere to run, and...
He glanced at Lu Zhi and thought he could borrow Lu Zhi's power.
The lawyer noticed his gaze and a mocking smile played on his lips: "I hope the Party doesn't forget what they promised me."
Dang Hongyuan nodded and said, "Of course I remember."
Lu Zhi snorted coldly and sent out a clone to follow the group of Federation people.
"It's the signal from the Dragon War." Dang Hongyuan heard a whistle coming from a distance.
“They should be alright.” Yang Xie looked around and said intently, “We’re surrounded.”
This place is not suitable for them to hide, and because of the black mud on the ground, any place they could hide was contaminated, leaving them nowhere to step.
Sui Cheng glanced at the several cruise ships of the Federation moored to the side and said in a low voice, "Then we can't retreat, we can only move forward."
"Go!" Dang Hongyuan understood his meaning, and the group rushed towards a small cruise ship, quickly seizing it.
"We have no choice but to follow." Yang Xie started the cruise ship and sailed on the sea following the aircraft carrier that was starting up not far away.
Dang Hongyuan also sent a signal back to Long Zhan, instructing them to return to the ship and activate the ship's equipment, ready to take action at any time.
Sailing on the sea, ten miles from the coast, the black mud on the island suddenly gathered together, like oil gushing from the ground, and condensed into a huge monster. It directly uprooted the buildings on the island and threw them into the sea.
The black mud beneath their feet continued to spread, getting closer and closer to their boat.
“We can’t leave.” Lu Zhi suddenly gripped the hand of his attendant, his tone unusually grave.
He had never seen anything so strange before, neither human nor object. At first, he thought it was just a mutant with special abilities, but at this moment he realized that it had nothing to do with mutants at all.
“In less than half a day, this black mud will pollute the entire sea area.” Lu Zhi pointed to the sea not far away and showed it to them.
Where the black mud had spread, the alien creatures in the sea emerged, but they were corroded as soon as they touched the mud, leaving not even bones behind.
"If it's not controlled, it will eventually pollute the entire world; neither the ocean nor the land will escape it." Dang Hongyuan and Yang Xie exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with solemnity.
Yang Xie asked, "How do I do it?"
“We don’t have enough people.” Lu Zhi closed his eyes and used his mental power to investigate the black mud on the sea surface. “Or rather, no matter how many people we have, it won’t be enough.”
"We can't just keep watching like this!" Dang Hongyuan's tone was no longer calm.
“We need to go back to the island and find its roots.” These were the words spoken by the passenger.
The passenger kept observing and saw that the cruise ships that were being chased by the black mud were still intact and had not been swallowed up like the alien species. However, their yachts were too small to carry them back to the island and escape safely.
“Metal.” Dang Hongyuan also noticed it and said in a deep voice, “Metal can block its attack.”
Yang Xie glanced at the aircraft carrier ahead and frowned, saying, "Then we need to follow that ship and find a way to seize it."
He thought of something and said, "Do you think there might be the same metal object up there as the one in the room where we're locked up?"
"You can go and take a look."
Dang Hongyuan made a decisive decision; everyone knew that time could not be delayed any longer.
He sent a signal to Long Zhan, a series of intermittent whistles, like an eagle soaring through the sky.
Long Zhan was originally returning along the original route, but after hearing the signal, he immediately ordered his men to turn around and head towards the direction where Dang Hongyuan and the others were.
But the black mud was much faster in the sea, and they couldn't wait for Long Zhan and the others to arrive, so they had to find a way to get on the ship first.
Lu Zhi grabbed the waist of the passenger, and in a flash, he leaped into the air and headed towards the moving aircraft carrier.
There must be a lot of surveillance cameras on board. Without hesitation, the passenger used a tiny electric current to envelop the entire ship, forcibly destroying everything that was electrified.
"What's going on?" The people on the ship were alarmed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they found a cabin to hide in.
Through the cabin window, they saw the small cruise ship from before, now completely surrounded by black mud.
"Sir, those black muds are catching up." The voice came from the ground-based speaker.
"Accelerate and move in that direction."
Dang Hongyuan frowned and said in a low voice, "That's William's voice."
"Sir, an aircraft carrier is approaching us!"
"Report the exact location."
...
It's Long Zhan and his group.
"There are too many people outside, we can't just go out." Yang Xie observed the situation outside through the crack in the door.
Because the passengers damaged the ship's equipment, they are running around looking for a solution.
"I'll go." Lu Zhi, who had been holding Sui Cheng's hand, pulled the clone from his wrist and said sternly, "You go."
The vines wilted and shook their leaves to indicate that they understood.
Seeing his pitiful state, Sui Cheng bent down and kissed his leaves. The vines instantly came back to life and even shook their leaves defiantly at Lu Zhi.
The law enforcement officer gritted his teeth in anger, glared at his attendant, and said, "If you keep indulging him like this, I'm really going to get angry!"
Dang Hongyuan and Yang Xie avoided them.
He glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, then leaned closer and kissed Lu Zhi on the eyelid, whispering, "You have one too."
Lu Zhi was instantly appeased, but still pretended to be angry and squeezed his palm, saying, "I'll settle the score with you when we get back."
Under the direction of the law, the vines surveyed the entire ship and then quietly slipped outside.
Of course, the lawyer did not intend to let his attendant know about this, since he would probably be angry if he knew about the risk he had taken.
The vines slowly climbed towards the sea surface, extending a thin tendril to actively touch the black mud.
The black mud also had a corrosive effect on him, but not as severe, and he also tested whether his devouring ability had any effect on the black mud.
To the lawyer's surprise, it did have an effect.
While the black mud corrodes him, he can also devour it, and even use the power gained from devouring it to repair his own body.
The vine became bolder, extending half of its branches and leaves inside; this time, I felt the pain.
The pain caused it to instinctively open its mental barrier, and the black mud also realized what was happening and launched an attack on the vines, but all the black mud that rushed up stuck to the barrier and failed to touch the vines.
Lu Zhi was overjoyed, having found another weakness in Hei Ni.
