Chapter 73: Struggling
I immediately used my second vision to check around, but no matter how hard I looked, there was no sign of him.
Song Nanxing’s disappearance cast a shadow over the hearts of the three of us.
In order to prevent someone from going missing again, I had to pull Lin Hanning and Jiang Wang closer to me, while ensuring that the distance would not affect the movement too much.
"Everyone should stay as close as possible so that we can check their status at any time."
The paracords were somewhat restrictive in the fight, so I didn't tie them to my hands, but just used them as an aid to make sure everyone was still together.
"good."
After hearing what I said, Lin Hanning placed his hands on my back and Jiang Wang's back respectively.
With Lin Hanning's help, Jiang Wang and I became clearer and I could see more clearly in the smoke and dust.
This also indirectly shows that smoke and dust have a confusing effect to a certain extent. In order to prevent emergencies, I had to be even more vigilant.
We don't have a clear understanding of the situation now, so for the sake of caution, none of us dares to act rashly.
We can only stay where we are for the time being. Jiang Wang will defend, Lin Hanning will assist, and I will search for Song Nanxing's location.
But I looked around and didn't feel Song Nanxing's presence in this area.
I felt more and more uneasy. There was no point in staying here any longer. The most important thing right now was to find a relatively safe place.
"We can't stay here any longer. Let's retreat to a safe place first."
"Yeah, okay."
When Jiang Wang heard what I said, he nodded solemnly.
Because there were no reference points, we could only walk out of the smoke based on the general direction and our initial memory.
Plus, Lin Hanning was still injured, so we didn't walk fast.
After walking for a while, the smoke and dust around us still did not dissipate. We had no idea where we were. Even though I could see things in the thick fog, I couldn't see the boundary.
"Ji Ling, where are we?"
Lin Hanning's ability to withstand pressure was still a little poor, and when she encountered this situation, she was a little panicked.
"I don't know where this is. There is a wall in front. You have been clearing negative states for us all the time and you are a bit overloaded. Let's sit down and rest for a while." I answered while looking around.
This community is very large. Based on my initial memory and the vague vision, I can roughly determine that this place is the edge of the community, but I cannot determine the specific location.
For a moment I was hesitant.
As if he saw my hesitation, Jiang Wang said, "Ji Ling, what's wrong?"
I smiled bitterly: "The good news is that there is nothing unusual around. The bad news is that there is no Song Nanxing..."
I didn’t say the rest of the words. Everyone knew in their hearts that at a time like this, the biggest abnormality would be the absence of any abnormality.
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment, then pressed his left hand on the ground.
"What are you doing?"
I looked at him with some confusion.
Jiang Wang smiled slightly, looked up and said to me: "I will cooperate with you. You will be responsible for guarding against emergencies, and I will investigate the situation nearby."
Looking at his actions, I felt a little worried, but I didn't know if Jiang Wang had any other abilities besides changing his physical form. But at this moment, we really need to find a way out as soon as possible.
After thinking about it, I nodded:
"Be careful. If anything goes wrong, take it back immediately."
Hearing what I said, Jiang Wang lowered his body and pressed his left hand on the ground to continue the previous action.
Then his palm became soft and spread out in all directions like a spider web.
I have to say, even though I have seen many different kinds of superpowers in the Investigation Bureau, Jiang Wang's ability still amazes me.
I can't help but think of One Piece and Slime...
However, this ability may be very physically demanding. After a while, beads of sweat appeared on Jiang Wang's forehead.
"Did you find anything?"
"I explored an area with a diameter of about three meters and found nothing unusual."
Jiang Wang had just finished speaking when his face suddenly turned pale and he fell to the ground.
This sudden change scared Lin Hanning and me.
Because I didn't feel that there was anything else at all.
But the situation happened suddenly, and I didn't think about it too much. I quickly helped him sit in the corner.
"Jiang Wang? How are you?"
Jiang Wang's voice was trembling, as if he was enduring great pain:
"The meat net I put out was all swallowed up just now."
As he spoke, he raised his left hand, and a bloody arm appeared in front of us, but where the palm should be, it was empty.
His left hand no longer had a palm, leaving only the arm.
I took a deep breath, lowered my head, and my nails involuntarily dug into my flesh.
This was a result I didn't expect. I obviously had the strongest perception among everyone, but it was of no use. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost his palm.
Perhaps sensing my guilt, Jiang Wang patted my shoulder with his right hand.
"Ji Ling, it's okay, it's nothing."
I knew he was just comforting me. Just as I was about to say something, a sound breaking through the air reached my ears.
"careful!"
Feeling something was wrong, I quickly pushed the two people around me away.
As soon as I pushed Jiang Wang and Lin Hanning away, a huge ball of flesh wrapped in concrete stones flew towards me from the smoke and dust.
Seeing this huge ball of flesh carrying a tremendous force, my forehead was covered in sweat.
Because it was already too late when I discovered it, and it took a few seconds to push them away.
At this point, I couldn't avoid it.
I had done many emergency response trainings when I was in the Investigation Bureau, but when I really encountered an emergency, I couldn't help but be subconsciously stunned for a moment.
"boom--"
There was a loud bang, but the imagined huge impact did not come. The surroundings shook violently, as if countless rocks were whizzing past, but they all avoided our small area.
I don't know when Lin Hanning stood in front of me with her hands raised up, and an invisible shield spread out from her hands.
The outside of the shield was already a mess. The fog and the dust that were blown up made the visibility around even lower.
Inside the shield, all flying debris and smoke are isolated.
But Lin Hanning was not having a good time at this moment. She frowned and struggled to hold on. Blood oozed from the corner of her mouth and dripped down her jaw onto her clothes.
Seeing this scene, my temples jumped a few times. Jiang Wang lost his left hand, and Lin Hanning was also trying to force open the shield despite his injury. Obviously, this shield could not last for too long.
We have to think of a solution quickly.
Perhaps the situation was urgent, at this moment, I suddenly realized something that I had previously ignored.
