The weight of the life support capsule is actually not light. Although relatively advanced technology has been used, the overall weight is still not much different from that of a normal adult.
This damaged life-support capsule, which is who knows how many years old, has not become much lighter even though the soft parts inside have almost rotted away.
Under normal circumstances, this thing would definitely require two people or Wang Xiao alone to lift it, but after Shi Jin activated her ability, the change in the speed of time flow allowed her to do similar things alone.
Shi Jin ran all the way while pulling the life support capsule, not forgetting to take a look at Wang Xiao through the gaps between the plant branches.
But this one glance scared her.
Although her teammate had regrown most of his body at this time, the color of his surface was not ordinary skin color, but rather a color between skin color and tree bark, as if the absorbed vitality had not been completely transformed.
Although her teammates looked no different from monsters at this time, Shi Jin could not do anything, so she continued to go back and soon returned to the captain.
“So soon?”
Fresnel was a little surprised. Even from the perspective of slowing down the flow of time, this speed was too fast.
"The life support capsule is very close to Wang Xiao, and it is not where we abandoned it."
"Well, check it out, just in case."
Fresnel gave the order carefully, and Shi Jin opened the life support capsule.
The cylindrical object was opened under the alert of several people, and there was nothing inside, except for a notebook with some mold spots that appeared in front of her.
"This is?"
Before Shi Jin finished speaking, Fresnel had already taken it away excitedly.
After flipping through it for a few seconds, the joy on his face disappeared.
"Have you seen this notebook?"
"Yes, this is Nian's personal item."
Fresnel closed the hardcover notebook and put it back, thinking:
"You just said that the life support module is not where it should be? If I guess correctly, it should be the remaining will of Nian that helped us, just like it helped us escape from danger before."
No one responded to this inference.
Although everyone already believed it to 80% in their hearts, they still felt sincere regret, reluctance, nostalgia, and pain of sympathy for their own kind.
In such silence, a heart-shaking roar came from afar.
Among the layers and layers of branches that repeated birth and death, Wang Xiao's absorption ability seemed to have reached a certain limit.
His body has been repaired, but the withering rate of the surrounding plants has slowed down significantly.
Having nearly endless vitality that can be absorbed at will is a good thing in most cases, but not now.
These horrific, animal-like plants, if not killed within a short period of time, will pile up layer by layer, like a dense fishing net blocking all life.
After completing an outburst, most of Wang Xiao's body was exposed, but half of his body and a small part of his legs were still tightly wrapped.
Noticing the decline of their teammates, Xin Beacon, Shi Jin and others all looked troubled, but only Fresnel stood up straight this time, like a beast that had just rested and was ready to sprint again.
Fresnel strode forward and began to speed up little by little. At the same time, his confident voice reached the ears of several people:
"Can you see clearly? It's good that you can, because it means it's daybreak."
Yes, it's daybreak.
Several people began to flee in the second half of the night, and the energy battery was detonated in the early morning. Then Wang Xiao was surrounded by plants.
Fresnel did not choose to continue retreating, not only because he valued the lives of his teammates, but also because he was confident in his own abilities.
Even with his shortcomings that could not be ignored, Fresnel still got a B in the ability assessment, and was even rated B+ after the devilish training.
There is of course a reason for such a rating, and the reason is simple: pure power.
Looking at the captain's receding back, the puppeteer, who usually doesn't talk much, whispered a short sentence:
“It’s stable.”
All of a sudden, within an area with a radius of nearly 100 meters centered on the few people, the morning sunlight seemed to suddenly become dim, as if time had flowed back a little and returned to the time before the sun appeared on the horizon.
The clouds in the sky did not change, and the surrounding scenery did not change, but the brightness in the huge area suddenly decreased without any reason.
At the same time, a blazing beam of light appeared in Fresnel's hand, or in front of him. Although the beam of light was only as thick as an arm, it was like a rising red sun, sweeping in all directions with the power to burn everything.
Wherever the light passed, both plants and dead grass collapsed, and the air was filled with smoke from incompletely burned charcoal.
“Swish!”
As the light passed by, the ball-shaped object on the branch where Wang Xiao was located had been cut off in half.
Fresnel was obviously very careful about how he touched the ball, as if he was the best chef in the inner city, demonstrating his exquisite knife skills for his distinguished customers.
"Swish!"
More and more branches fell to the ground and scattered, some turned charred and some turned gray.
After a few or even a dozen cuts, Wang Xiao had already taken human form, with only a few branches from the surrounding areas still holding him together, making him look like a bug caught in a spider web.
If the overwhelming branches still made Wang Xiao feel overwhelmed, then the remaining few were nothing to worry about.
Having been in an overloaded state for a long time, he no longer cared about this load. A hint of ruthlessness suddenly flashed in his slightly red eyes, and those branches were completely killed within a few seconds.
Then he exerted force with both hands, broke free from the restraints and fell down.
Although his skin color was still a little strange, he was out of danger.
The surrounding vegetation was still nearly endless, but now there was nothing to be feared.
The sun was rising, shining brighter, and the Fresnel would only grow stronger over the next six hours.
He could use a smaller-range ability to create a beam of light of equal intensity, or make his ability even stronger while keeping the range the same.
Either way, it means victory for him. Since the plants did not succeed quickly and delayed him until dawn, he did not mind accepting the fruits of victory.
Looking at the naked man in front of him, Fresnel controlled the light column to cut the surrounding branches, while taking off his coat and wrapping it around Wang Xiao's waist.
“Be aware of the impact.”
"Well, that's what happened. I'll be more careful next time."
"We should definitely pay attention to this. Let's talk to the equipment department and see if we can get some clothes that won't get damaged."
"Captain, I don't think that's the problem. After all, our butt is still on the tree."
