This skill of building a protective layer around her body to block attacks from human thermal weapons was passively used by her when she first came to this world.
At that time, the attack launched by humans led by Lu Qianzhi was much stronger than it is now, but she was still unharmed.
The skills used by this thing now are probably similar.
Jiang Chuyi stared at the looming figure in front of him, his eyes gradually narrowing.
Seeing that the other party was still unaffected by such a fierce attack, He Shizhao gasped and his expression suddenly became serious.
"Everyone, stand by. Do not get off the bus."
He said this in a cold voice, opened the car door and walked out.
Unlike the eerie atmosphere on the opposite side, he exuded a dignified righteousness and walked forward fearlessly.
One step, two steps.
Just when He Sizhao was about to approach the other party, the gloomy white shadow suddenly moved.
It seemed to raise its head, but the fog was too thick, and even Jiang Chuyi couldn't see what the face looked like.
I could only feel that it seemed to curl its lips and smile.
The next second, its figure disappeared out of thin air.
Everyone gasped in disbelief.
He Sizhao stopped and looked intently at the place where it disappeared.
Among the group, only Jiang Chuyi's eyes moved. He first turned left to avoid He Sizhao, and then... stopped in front of the car window.
In a split second, he unintentionally let out a loud, earth-shattering scream.
He had a feeling that something was wrong, and when he turned around, he found that the strange thing was actually standing in front of the window of the back seat, looking at Jiang Chuyi closely through a layer of glass!
The next moment, He Sizhao's figure appeared like a ghost, his hands shaped into claws, and he attacked the thing's neck directly.
However, just like it disappeared out of thin air before, the thing flashed and tried to run away again.
However, He Sizhao was well prepared this time. He created wind with one hand and ignited a blazing flame with the other hand. The wind fanned the fire and burned the long black hair of that thing.
It made an extremely piercing scream.
It stretched out a pair of pale arms to cover its face tightly, and then the whole person disappeared into thin air again.
Jiang Chuyi's expression paused. This time, she didn't even see its movement trajectory.
Everything that just happened happened too quickly. In the few seconds after the thing disappeared, only countless heavy breathing sounds were left. It was obvious that it had not yet recovered from the shock.
"Xiaoyi..." Wuyi's voice trembled, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Jiang Chuyi said.
Only after he was sure that there was no trace of the thing around did He Sizhao open the car door and get back in.
"You're incredibly brave," Wuyi continued. "That scene just now scared me to death, and you actually dared to look it in the eye... Come on, did you see what it looked like?"
Jiang Chuyi let He Sizhao hold her hand and shook her head: "No, it has been deliberately covering its face. I can't see it."
"Yes, it's rare that you can remain so calm in that situation." Wuyi said.
Jiang Chuyi felt the warmth coming from his hand and lowered his eyes lightly.
What she didn't say was that although she didn't see the thing's face clearly just now, she could clearly feel its gaze.
It was a look that was a mixture of curiosity, understanding, resentment, and... twisted jealousy.
Although it was only a brief moment before she was blocked by He Sizhao, her feeling was not wrong.
and……
Even at such a close distance, she didn't detect any energy fluctuations from it.
Whatever this is, it seems we can't keep it.
Wuyi asked: "Boss, what should we do now? Should we continue walking?"
"Go on." He Sizhao said.
The convoy continued to move forward, but this time everyone witnessed the strangeness of the thing with their own eyes, and their vigilance was even greater than before.
"That thing is very dangerous." Jiang Chuyi said softly, "If we go out now, we should still be able to escape."
"Xiaoyi, please don't tempt me, otherwise I will really want to run away." Even in such a terrifying moment, Wuyi was still talking nonsense.
Jiang Chuyi tilted his head in confusion and looked at He Sizhao: "Aren't you all afraid?"
"Of course I'm not afraid. I almost peed myself just now, I'm not going to say it anymore." Wuyi said, "But we are afraid, and the people inside are even more afraid. If we don't go, what will they do?"
He Sizhao held Jiang Chuyi's hand: "Don't worry."
He acquiesced to the unintentional words.
Jiang Chuyi was in deep thought. She remembered the excitement Ji Xia felt when she heard He Sizhao's voice just now, and she was about to cry.
She had never experienced this kind of strong desire for someone.
Is it dangerous? Everyone knows it is dangerous.
But inside are their families, friends, and many more innocent people.
They must move forward.
Driving under full alert, they soon arrived at the outskirts of the central city.
As soon as you enter here, the smell of blood in the air suddenly becomes strong.
I encountered corpses in the outer city area, but starting from the central city area, it was obvious that it had become another world.
Layers of corpses lay crisscrossed, falling silently to the ground, their faces frozen in the last second before death.
Some of them were in military uniforms, and some were just civilians. Regardless of their identities, it was easy to tell that they had tried to resist.
But it's all in vain.
This is no longer the headquarters that survivors all over the world yearn for, but a paradise for killing.
"That's an Awakened One. I know him." Wuyi's tense voice sounded, and he pointed at one of the corpses. "When I came back before, he often played games online with me."
"He's a second-level... In front of that thing, he's just a weak and powerless child." He said in a low voice.
"Now is not the time to be sad. It could happen at any time." He Sizhao said in a deep voice, "Go to the military headquarters."
Jiang Chuyi looked at him: "Do you want to find Su Mo?"
Hearing this name, Wuyi in front trembled.
He Sizhao's voice was steady and powerful, carrying great strength: "Whether Su Mo is dead or alive, we must go there. There are the most precious research materials in the world."
He looked at Jiang Chuyi and said in a gentler tone, "We can't just act rashly. We need a place to discuss plans and contact Ji Xia to see if there are any who are still alive."
Jiang Chuyi hesitated for a moment, then said, "With so many of you gathered together, you might be a target for it."
She really wanted to find it and knew that this might be the fastest way, but at this moment, what she was most worried about was the lives of He Sizhao and the others.
He Sizhao smiled slightly: "I know, I know."
A bright light shone in his amber eyes.
Jiang Chuyi suddenly realized that passive defense had never been He Sizhao's habit. He had already thought of what she could think of and had made a plan for it.
He wanted to actively hunt the other party.
Jiang Chuyi suddenly laughed.
Seeing those two crazy guys in the back seat still able to laugh, I just felt that life was very mysterious.
The impression of Jiang Chuyi as weak and pitiful in his mind was gone forever, and he felt deeply that he had made a mistake.
The further into the inner city they went, the more corpses in military uniforms they saw, proving that it wasn't that they hadn't thought about resisting, but that they had failed.
The entire base was so quiet that only the sound of their cars passing by could be heard, and not a single human voice could be heard.
As we approached the military district headquarters, corpses in black combat uniforms gradually began to appear in our field of vision.
He Shizhao and Wuyi were both silent. They looked at the corpses silently and drove past quietly.
"Don't park too far away," He Sizhao said. "No one can guarantee what will happen next. Leave a way out."
"Boss, what are you talking about? How can we possibly escape?" Wuyi immediately understood what he meant. Sadness mixed with anger made his voice a little hoarse. "I'm going to kill that bastard for daring to kill people like that."
He Sizhao said expressionlessly: "Get out of the car."
Unlike before, this time he not only let Jiang Chuyi stay close to him, but also freed up one hand to hold hers tightly.
With just one move, Jiang Chuyi immediately realized that He Sizhao might not be completely sure this time.
She let him lead her hand and looked up at the dark and silent hospital.
This place she had been to several times was without a trace of light or people.
The group adjusted their formation and walked inside cautiously.
It's darker inside than outside, and you might step on a corpse if you're not careful.
He Sizhao and Jiang Chuyi stood at the information desk in the lobby, and the others were divided into five teams to patrol the five floors respectively.
The communicator was always on, with messages constantly coming out of it.
"Clearing the fifth floor, no survivors."
"The second floor has been checked, and there are no survivors."
…
He Sizhao listened with a cold expression, but his other hand, which was holding Jiang Chuyi's, gradually tightened.
Wuyi, who was in charge of checking the first floor, quickly returned and reported in a low voice, "First floor inspection complete, no one alive."
There was not a single living person in the entire huge hospital.
This sad atmosphere gradually spread throughout the team.
In this depressed atmosphere, Jiang Chuyi asked softly, "Where's Su Mo? Have you found him?"
He Sizhao was stunned.
He was too smart, but made a mistake, thinking that among the reports of no survivors on each floor, Su Mo was naturally included.
Hearing Jiang Chuyi ask this, he immediately looked at the others.
However, everyone looked at each other, obviously waiting for each other's information.
A few seconds later, Su Heng asked doubtfully, "Has anyone...none of you seen Xiao Mo's body?"
Apart from He Sizhao, he was unintentionally the person who cared about Su Mo the most.
"No." "I didn't see Colonel Su."
Everyone denied it.
He Sizhao frowned.
Although I don't want to hold on to any illusory hopes, the current situation where there is no sound, no death, and no body is found really makes us think more.
"Is Su Mo not dead?" Wuyi asked hopefully, "Where could he be? Why didn't he respond to my calls?"
No one can answer this question.
However, Jiang Chuyi showed a look of understanding.
The reason why she asked this question was not because she cared about Su Mo, but because as soon as she came in, she felt Su Mo's weak energy fluctuations.
The beastmaster's energy was very special, there was no way she could make a mistake.
And since he couldn't be found anywhere else in the hospital, there was only one possibility left.
"I think I know where he is."
Everyone turned their heads suddenly and looked at Jiang Chuyi in astonishment.
Jiang Chuyi took He Sizhao's hand and said, "Follow me."
She led them to the hidden corner on the first floor and reached out to feel around on the wall next to it.
In the silence, only a faint click was heard, and the entire wall suddenly rotated.
The few team members closest to the wall were so frightened that they jumped away, and everyone looked at the slowly opening secret room in disbelief.
Wuyi couldn't even close his mouth: "This is..."
Jiang Chuyi skillfully took a step toward the stairs and turned on the light.
"OMG……"
No one expected that such a deep secret room was hidden in this hospital with huge traffic before the end of the world.
He Sizhao looked at Jiang Chuyi, obviously thinking of what she had said before about sleeping here.
Jiang Chuyi didn't even look at him and led him inside.
Everyone followed carefully.
After reaching downstairs, Jiang Chuyi skillfully turned on the light again. The pale light reflected against the pale walls. The place seemed deserted, but clearer energy fluctuations were coming from it.
Jiang Chuyi lowered his head and saw several messy pools of blood on the ground, which were particularly eye-catching on the white tiles.
Wuyi couldn't wait to yell, "Su Mo! Su Mo, are you here? It's us, Su Mo! Damn it, hurry up and tell me you're here!"
After a fierce shout, a faint sound came from the transparent wall.
A figure slowly walked out from the innermost bathroom.
The unintentional shouting stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at the person who walked out in a daze.
He was not Su Mo, but Professor Wang Kangping with a pale face.
"Professor Wang...?" Wuyi was also stunned.
Jiang Chuyi looked at the bathroom behind him.
"You're the ones who came back." Wang Kangping said hoarsely, "I thought... someone please come in and help me move Su Mo out. He's seriously injured."
When they heard that Su Mo was not dead, everyone showed an ecstatic look, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, their laughter was swallowed back.
Wuyi and Su Heng stepped forward first, but they couldn't open the transparent wall no matter what.
Wuyi: "How...do I open this?"
"Over there..."
Before Wang Kangping finished speaking, Jiang Chuyi pressed the button next to him.
She had watched those people pressing this thing for more than ten years, and it was so easy to find.
There was no time to be surprised. Several people quickly went in and carried Su Mo out very carefully.
Only Professor Wang Kangping looked at Jiang Chuyi in surprise and thoughtfulness.
Just as Wang Kangping said, Su Mo was seriously injured. His entire chest was sunken, and he had obviously suffered extremely severe injuries. He did not seem to have completely lost consciousness, but his eyelids were slightly open and his breathing was extremely weak.
The donut on his wrist was also gone.
Seeing Su Mo come out like this, everyone held their breath and quickly put him on the only bed.
"What on earth is going on..." Su Heng was so distressed that he couldn't speak clearly, "Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo, can you hear me?"
"He can hear you, but he can't respond to you for the time being." Wang Kangping sighed, tears welling up in his wise eyes. "I thought we were going to die here, but I didn't expect you to come back."
Su Heng couldn't wait to ask: "Can he survive?"
"With me here, he won't die, but I'm short of medicine," Wang Kangping said. "It's too dangerous to go up there now..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Chuyi had already walked in front of him. With a loud crash, a flood of medical supplies fell out and piled up into a small mountain.
This was not the first time that everyone saw Jiang Chuyi use his spatial talent, but this time it was particularly shocking.
"Use it as you please." Jiang Chuyi said, looking up at the familiar yet unfamiliar walls around him, "You're smart to find a place to hide."
This was the place where she was imprisoned in her previous life. Even if her energy was controlled, her physical strength could not be underestimated. This wall could even defend her, let alone that unknown thing.
Hearing her say this, Professor Wang's eyes flashed.
He didn't have time to ask any more questions and immediately started to treat Su Mo.
Seeing the huge wound on Su Mo's chest, everyone felt a little sorry.
"Xiao Mo was injured like this because he was trying to save me." Wang Kangping said guiltily as he moved. "Everything happened too fast. No one could have stopped that thing. It was Xiao Mo who stood in front of me."
"Professor Wang, what exactly happened in the base?" He Shizhao asked slowly.
A faint voice sounded.
"Brother Zhao, let me answer this question for you."
