Jin Mo, a super-powered man who was originally in a sleeping state, suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at the vast starry sky.
An invisible force began to ripple around the crowd, as if a strange river was enveloping them.
As the energy was activated, barely perceptible explosions were heard in the surrounding air, as if some living things had died silently.
No one except Fengyu heard these sounds, but Jinmo himself could feel the feedback after some abilities were activated.
This is enough to prove one thing, that is, there really are invisible tiny creatures wandering in the air.
Perhaps they were coming for them.
After just a moment's thought, Jinmo had made his decision.
She skillfully adjusted the output of her energy, gradually reducing the damage caused to innocent teammates until she was able to kill those alien invading creatures in an instant.
After confirming that there were no other problems, Jinmo closed his eyes slowly.
In this situation, she couldn't really fall asleep, and could only take short naps to maintain her abilities and get basic rest.
The crackling sound was like firecrackers or thunder, constantly echoing in Fengyu's ears.
This might be the negative effect of the ability. Even a sound that is inaudible to ordinary people would be extremely obvious if he strengthened it intentionally.
Time passed little by little, and after a rotation, the team welcomed the morning of the third day.
The few people who had not reacted all night heard shocking news while having breakfast:
"Each of you has had your life span reduced by roughly one month."
Jin Mo bit the nutrient paste and spoke in a lifeless but somewhat majestic tone.
This is the negative effect of her ability. While being able to kill most creatures that invade her territory, her ability can also cause harm to humans.
Only herself and those creatures with higher energy levels than herself can be exempted, and as the captain, her teammates are obviously not included.
The teammates had experienced this kind of thing more than once, and they just stared blankly for a moment before they understood the general situation.
Mercury, who was obviously slower in reaction, asked:
"Captain, was there anything around last night?"
"I heard voices and there were some invisible living particles around. Maybe it's not a good sign."
Fengyu quickly helped the captain explain, indicating that the captain activated his ability because of his own request.
"It's okay. I'm not sure whether I can go back or not, so this is not a big deal..."
Mercury casually stated the somewhat unlucky fact, but no one around refuted it.
Just when everything was going according to plan and everyone was about to start a new day of exploration, a rustling sound suddenly came from behind a bush about ten meters away.
The sound was quickly drowned out by the wind, but it did not escape Fengyu's ears.
His eyebrows raised slightly, but he did not make any abnormal or extreme behavior. He just kicked his teammates' group lightly with his feet and winked at the bushes in the southwest.
The beast group packed up their backpacks as usual, and their lips moved slightly.
The ears of the two wolf-like beasts quickly stood up, as if some command was transmitted directly to their brains.
Soon, the two strange beasts that were completely controlled by the herd ran towards the target direction, one on the left and one on the right. Their footsteps were light and there was no sound when they stepped on the sparse woodland. Only two afterimages could be seen moving.
After completing the encirclement, they ran towards the suspicious bushes from two directions, and then a strange feedback signal appeared in the minds of the herd.
The expression on his face froze instantly, and he stood there in a daze as if he had heard something incredible.
"Team, Captain."
"you say."
"I found... humans."
Two ferocious wolf-like beasts showed their sharp teeth, and saliva of strange colors kept dripping from the corners of their mouths.
Driven by them, a panicked human continued to move towards the camp where the exploration team was located. Soon, he saw five humans wearing strange combat uniforms, which also made the middle-aged man feel deeply surprised.
"Ah, who are you?"
"Who are you?"
The first time he saw the man, Jin Mo memorized his basic characteristics, and his abilities were ready to go. It would only take a blink of an eye to kill the man in front of him.
This is a man with ragged clothes, who looks to be about fifty years old, or even older.
There was uneven stubble on his face and a lot of secretions at the corners of his eyes.
The hair on the back of his head looked like it had been gnawed by something. It was not neat at all and seemed to be tangled due to the oil secretion.
However, his eyes were not covered by a layer of floc, but were as clear as those of a normal human being.
Looking at these creatures of the same race as himself, the man did not feel too happy at this moment. Instead, he was shrouded in fear.
"We are the superpower exploration team from Hope City. Please state your identity."
"Hope City?"
The man's eyes were a little vague, as if he was lost in his memories.
"I think I've heard..."
"Show your identity!"
The superpower codenamed Bipolar Disorder pulled out the pistol from his waist and pointed it at the man's head, as if he was suppressing his own mania.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot. My name is Nick. I'm from the Swamp Settlement. I've heard of you from our...chief."
Everyone who heard the news showed surprise on their faces, even Jin Mo, who was knowledgeable, calm and cautious, instantly perked up.
Because the other party is a human being who can think rationally, and this human being just mentioned a word: settlement.
A place where humans live is called a settlement!
There are still people outside the city! There are still people alive!
Everyone understands the importance of this discovery. If it is true, then Hope City will no longer be alone in this world!
However, seeing that the members of this settlement were not as well dressed as the residents of the outer city, a doubt appeared in everyone's mind -
How did they defend themselves against attacks by alien beasts? Did they have city walls? Did they have superpowers? Why had they heard of Hope City?
These doubts kept flashing in everyone's mind until Jin Mo took a step forward and reached out to press the black barrel of the manic-depressive disorder:
"Please forgive my companion's recklessness. We didn't know there were still humans surviving outside of Hope City. Can you take me to see your... leader?"
"But I haven't completed my collection quota for today. I must..."
"As long as you agree to our request, we will help you solve this problem."
