Chapter 21 Extreme Danger



Fan Xiangnan, who was dealing with the resettlement of slaves, rushed back after hearing the news. He approached Zhuang Yu and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Didn't you say last time that the commander's mental strength showed signs of improvement? The red tin mine was fine that time, so why is there a sudden turmoil now?"

"There's no time to explain. The most important thing now is to calm the commander's mental power as quickly as possible." Zhuang Yu said hurriedly, turned around, took another bottle of soothing medicine from the assistant and injected it into the repair chamber. His brows were furrowed and his expression was solemn: "The repair chamber can no longer withstand the commander's manic mental power."

Fan Xiangnan also noticed the increasingly obvious mental fluctuations in the air. His expression changed and he decisively ordered: "Close the medical room, everyone put on protective clothing! People with mental power levels below B, leave! Notify the control room to seal off the V1 area centered on the medical room! Let the members of Teams 1 and 2 guard outside the V1 area, and let the members of Teams 2 and 3 watch over the slaves placed in Area X6. Don't let them run around! Call back the head of the investigation team and let him take charge of the slave placement!"

The officers following behind him responded in unison and turned around to convey their orders. The people in the medical room whose mental strength was below level B also put down their things and followed them to retreat.

In less than a minute, half of the medical room was empty. All the people who stayed put on protective clothing, stared at the repair chamber, and were ready for action.

"It's begun." Zhuang Yu suddenly spoke, his expression serious and heavy, which was rarely seen in normal times.

Fan Xiangnan nodded, thinking of the last time Chu Rong's mental power was out of control and manic. He was so panicked that he wanted to walk back and forth a few times, but was afraid of missing any details. In the end, he just stood there in silence.

The spiritual power that was originally floating in the air suddenly compressed and became turbulent, like a balloon that had expanded to the extreme. It exploded silently in all directions with the repair warehouse as the center, and then spread violently.

Various instruments began to make sharp sounds, and dense cracks appeared on the walls of the medical room.

"The barrier layer is broken." Fan Xiangnan said in a deep voice, his expression becoming more and more ugly: "Commander's mental power is more severe this time than last time."

Zhuang Yu no longer had time to listen to what he said. She stared at the wildly changing data, endured the mental pressure, and kept adjusting the injection of the medicine, not daring to be distracted at all.

Five long and difficult minutes passed, and the alarm of the instrument weakened. Just when everyone thought that the manic mental power in the air had exploded, an even greater mental power suddenly surged out from the repair chamber and rushed straight to everyone's face.

"Oh no!" Zhuang Yu exclaimed and quickly retreated away from the repair warehouse.

Even with the protection of protective clothing, the people in the medical room were still overwhelmed by this wave of strong and violent mental power. Their mental sea began to become restless, and those with weaker concentration even began to turn pale and sweat.

"Drink the soothing medicine! Open the soothing spray! Quick!"

Zhuang Yu ordered loudly, drank a potion first, and then rushed back to the repair warehouse. Fan Xiangnan, who had been watching obediently, decisively took out a large protective shield to cover everyone and help them resist a wave of mental attacks.

The pressure suddenly eased, and everyone woke up as if from a dream. They hurriedly took out the sedative and drank it, then one person walked to the emergency operating device in the medical room, entered the password, and pulled down a red lever.

Squeak, squeak, squeak——

Several sophisticated probes suddenly popped out from the ceiling of the medical room. After a round of rotation and adjustment, they sprayed streams of thin white mist into the room.

Click——

The protective shield in Fan Xiangnan's hand finally couldn't withstand the impact of the violent mental power, and shattered and disappeared the moment the spray came down.

After the white mist appeared, it immediately rolled towards everyone. The temperature in the room began to drop rapidly. The collision of manic mental power in the air gradually slowed down under the influence of the white mist. The pressure on everyone was relieved, and they collapsed to the ground one after another due to exhaustion.

——It was so terrible. Just a little bit. If the spray had appeared one second later, they would all have been "sacrificed".

Georgia was in great pain, almost unable to breathe. He curled up on the bed, with a pile of magic stones that had been depleted of their magic power and turned into rubble lying beside him. His brows were furrowed, his face was pale, and he was covered in cold sweat.

After closing his eyes, he took some time to enter the wonderful state he had felt in his dream last time, and "saw" the white light ball floating in the air and the black spots in it. He recalled what he had done in his dream last time, separated the wood magic power, and rolled it towards the black spots that were more lively than the last time he saw them, and then dragged them over bit by bit to devour and purify them.

Everything went smoothly. Although the black spots were a little more difficult to deal with than the last "lively" ones, they were not difficult to deal with. He could control them with a little more magic power. But just as his magic pool was slowly drying up and he was about to open his eyes to replenish his magic power before continuing, a large number of black spots suddenly surged out like a black cloud covering his head, and the white light balls could not be seen at all, and swept towards his magic power that he had no time to withdraw.

There is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us, and this time it is his turn to have his magic power devoured and assimilated.

He decisively severed his connection with that strand of magic power, cut off the black spot and followed the magic power to feel the passage to his magic pool, then he took out a magic stone from the storage ring based on his feeling and began to absorb it frantically.

But the black spots were like blood-sucking worms that had eaten delicious nutrients. They kept circling around him, unwilling to leave, and even tried to penetrate his body. He had no choice but to absorb magic power while releasing it to protect himself. Later, he found that it was useless to just protect himself, and it would only make the black spots more unscrupulous. So he gritted his teeth and, relying on the strong stability of earth magic, began a sharp counterattack. The black spots calmed down a little, and then a long tug-of-war began.

As the two fought, the black spot was devoured, but the magic power was consumed like water, and the magic stones in the storage ring broke into pieces. Fortunately, the black spot seemed to be restrained by something and did not dare to attack freely.

Another magic stone shattered, and the attacking black spot was also broken into a small piece by him. He touched the storage ring again, but found that there were no wood and earth magic stones for him to absorb. What was worse was that just when he was about to run out of ammunition and food, a black spot stronger than before pounced on him and instantly devoured the earth magic power that protected him.

The enemy became stronger, but he was at the end of his strength. It was over.

Faced with danger, he gritted his teeth, squeezed out the last bit of magic power to protect the magic pool, endured the pain of magic overdraft, closed his eyes tightly, and at the same time fumbled to collect all the magic stone fragments - as long as the magic pool was still there, everything could be done again, hold on!

The expected swallowing sensation did not come. The black spot that was rushing over suddenly stopped, and the white light ball that was suppressed by the black spot seemed to be stimulated by something. It woke up from its half-dead state, dragged the black spot back and locked it tightly, then circled around him, separated a wisp of pure mental power that was not touched by the black spot, and surrounded him. At the same time, a cool white mist slowly enveloped him.

Georgia's extremely exhausted body and mind were soothed at the same time. She felt relieved, tilted her head, and fainted.

Beep——

After a pleasant prompt tone, the instrument door opens automatically.

Zhuang Yu's heart finally settled down. His legs softened and he collapsed to the ground. He wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. His expression was distorted and he looked crazy. "I was scared to death... The commander is fine. He's getting better. He's actually getting better... Wuuuuu, all my medicine is gone, all gone wuuuuuu..."

Fan Xiangnan rushed to the instrument, which was rare for him to lose his composure. He froze after seeing a certain data, then raised his hand to wipe his red eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "The pollution value has dropped below the extremely dangerous level. It has really dropped..."

Upon hearing this, the other medical assistants who had already collapsed on the ground were stunned, then shouted in surprise and hugged each other while crying.

For ten years, they have tried every possible way to reduce the commander's mental pollution value, but all were ineffective. They were worried that the commander's mental power would suddenly go berserk one day and turn him into a madman who had lost his mind.

After enduring ten years of pressure, finally... Although it was only an extreme danger, after ten years of despair, this tiny ray of hope was like a gift from God!

The medical room was filled with joy after surviving a disaster. Fan Xiangnan quickly calmed down, took out a towel and bathrobe from the cabinet next to him, walked to the instrument and looked inside, and asked, "Sir, how do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"

Chu Rong, who was squinting his eyes and lost in thought, came back to his senses after hearing what he said, turned his eyes and looked at him, stretched out his arms to support the instrument and sat up, closed his eyes to adapt to the changes in his mental strength, then jumped out directly, took the bathrobe and casually covered the key parts, strode to the bedside, fixed his eyes on a bulging quilt, walked forward, and directly lifted it up.

A rich, green plant scent wafted out, and Georgia's curled up little figure appeared. He was covered in sweat, his face was pale, his brows were wrinkled uneasily, his limbs were curled up, and his arms were protectively wrapped around his body. He looked embarrassed and pitiful.

"ah!"

Zhuang Yu, who happened to turn his head to look over, could not help but exclaimed, then hurriedly climbed up, walked quickly closer, and asked anxiously: "What's going on? Why is the little cutie here? The violent mental power just now..."

Fan Xiangnan was also stunned, and his brows furrowed as he thought of the violent mental power that had just overwhelmed a group of B-level and above mentalists.

"Adjust the repair chamber."

Chu Rong gave an order to Zhuang Yu who was approaching, then walked forward expressionlessly, picked up Georgia, and tore his clothes into pieces in a few seconds. He glanced at his hands that were still tightly clasped around his arms in a coma, reached out to pull them open, but couldn't. He frowned, no longer cared about the details, turned around, stuffed the man into the repair chamber, and closed the door.

The instrument started running again. Zhuang Yu drained the old repair fluid and injected new one. While operating the instrument, he kept muttering anxiously, "When did the little cutie get in? People without mental power who are directly impacted by mental power will either become stupid or... Bah, bah, bah, the little cutie will be fine, she will be fine... Why are you all standing there! Move!"

The assistants were brought back to their senses by the yelling, and they hurriedly stood up and walked back to their own instruments.

The atmosphere in the medical room became tense again. Chu Rong lowered his eyes and looked at Georgia, who was sleeping with her eyes closed in the repair chamber. Thinking of the soothing feeling he felt when his mental power was frenzy, his hand unconsciously touched the repair chamber.

"He may have recovered his mental strength, which is more like a cure." He spoke with a deep look in his eyes and a heavy tone: "But I destroyed him."

Fan Xiangnan was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly turned his head to look at the repair warehouse, his eyes changing emotions, and after a long time, he sighed softly.

After mental power disappears due to external force, there is a chance of recovery. Although the chance is very small, if it is destroyed again after being recovered once, the injured person will never have mental power again in this life. The fragile human spiritual sea cannot withstand a second shattering and collapse.
