Chapter 35 Night Fog
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Yu An hurriedly dropped the black fog and dove into Lin Huaichen's arms to hide, like a frightened kitten. After realizing he had made a mistake, he apologized softly, "I'm sorry..."
He just grabbed it subconsciously, but who knew that the black mist could be squeezed down so easily.
Yu An lowered his head, pursed his lips in annoyance, regretting his impulsive behavior. Claude consoled him, "It's not your fault. It's just that Yeyouwu is useless."
Night tour in the fog?
Yu An wanted to ask Claude what this was. At this time, the other base personnel who had been silent gathered around and looked at Yu An with hot eyes.
An hour or two passed, and they were struggling to find any trace of the alien species. Now, Yu Anxin grabbed a ball of mist that was probably from the alien species. How could the explorers blame him? They wanted to worship him as a deity and let him grab a few more balls of black mist.
The explorers looked at Yu An as if he were looking at a precise detector. If Lin Huaichen had not stared at them with a fierce look, this group of helpless explorers would have snatched Yu An away and made him the boss of this exploration operation.
"Ahem... um... Master Lin." The team leader in charge of this exploration operation was pushed out by the team members and discussed with Lin Huaichen nervously, "We are really useless. If we continue to wait, it will only waste your time. Um... your young master seems to know the whereabouts of the alien species. Can you ask him to help us?"
Lin Huaichen looked at the team leader with his calm black eyes. Even if he didn't say anything, his gaze alone could make the team leader's heart jump and his legs tremble.
The team leader was in tears. The head of the Lin family was so scary that he almost knelt down.
"Does An An know where the alien species is?" Lin Huaichen asked the little guy in his arms slowly, brushing his hair to one side, revealing the little guy's delicate eyebrows and eyes. His voice was low and mellow, "Don't be nervous, baby. Tell these uncles, do you know where the alien species is?"
Yu An could not sense the location of the alien species, but he could see the black fog wandering around them swirling around them, sometimes touching the explorers' arms, sometimes rubbing against their backs.
Like... marking.
Yu An opened his mouth, and facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, he couldn't help but look at Fu Yunshu who was standing outside the crowd, only to see Fu Yunshu shaking his head slightly at him.
Don't tell them.
"I... I don't know where the alien species is." Yu An lied haltingly, holding Lin Huaichen's big hand tightly with his small hand, "I just felt an itch on my arm, so I reached out and scratched it..."
After Yu An finished speaking, a satisfied smile flashed in Lin Huaichen's eyes. He rubbed Yu An's little head, held him in his arms, and looked at the detectors. "Our child is timid and he is the only child in the family. I don't feel comfortable letting him leave my side. I'm sorry, I can't help you."
The explorers looked at each other in bewilderment. Their keen intuition told them that something was wrong, but when they thought about it carefully, they felt that everything made sense. Moreover, the explorers were flattered that Lin Huaichen, such a powerful person, could patiently explain it to them.
"Master, you are too polite. I am really sorry for offending the young master." The team leader lowered his head first, looking at the little guy who buried his face in his father's arms. He couldn't help feeling pity in his heart, and took a candy from another younger explorer and handed it to Yu An.
Yu An shook his head and refused to accept the candy. His fair and delicate little face turned red. He had just lied and done something bad, so he could not accept candy from his uncle anymore.
The detectors could not find the whereabouts of the alien species in Yu An, so they had to start a carpet search. However, Xiaonan Lane was too large. Until six o'clock in the evening, the remaining sunlight was gradually swallowed by the darkness, and the hidden alien species became active again.
Yu An watched the explorers busying around and asked Claude in his heart, "When you mentioned the night fog just now, were you referring to this alien species beside us?"
Claude quietly crawled out of his pocket, slid down Yu An's arm and sat in his palm, patiently introducing the Night Mist to little Yu An: [It's them. According to the classification of human bases, the Night Mist should be at Class B.]
Yu An then asked, "Are they very powerful?"
"Very weak," Claude commented disdainfully. "They taste bland, too. However, the Night Mist is afraid of sunlight and will escape into another dimension during the day, so if you want to catch them, you have to wait until night."
Yu An looked at the sun that had almost disappeared over the horizon, and felt firsthand that the darkness was spreading rapidly.
The translucent black fog became active and quickly moved in Xiaonan Lane. Soon, the black fog gathered together to form a huge vortex like a black hole.
“Ding ding ding—!”
The detector detected a powerful force and issued a sharp warning sound. The explorers quickly determined the location of the black vortex. The team leader placed a small flag there with a serious expression. "The magnetic field fluctuations here are the strongest. The alien species is likely to emerge from here."
Unlike Yu An, they could not directly see the black vortex formed by the night fog, but they could determine the landing location through the mental magnetic field emitted by them.
Liu Ming and Fu Yunshu stood nearby. Facing the unknown alien species, everyone's expression was serious.
The only two aliens are Lin Huaichen and Yu An. The former is an S-level mutant, and he can tell with a little sensing that this alien is very weak... In other words, weaker than him.
When Yu An heard Claude's evaluation of Night Mist, the only impression in his mind was "not tasty" and "very weak".
As they waited, time quickly reached seven in the evening. Lin Huaichen was extremely bored. He hugged Yu An, resting his chin on his furry little head, and said, "Baby, do you want to go home?"
Yu An glanced at Fu Yunshu, Liu Ming and the others, and said anxiously, "But...if we leave, what will happen to Brother Yunshu and the others? What if they can't defeat this alien and get injured?"
"Don't worry, Xiao Fu is now A-level, so it's easy for him to deal with B-level aliens." Lin Huaichen was very optimistic about Fu Yunshu and suddenly touched Yu An's belly. "Is An An's belly empty now? Can we go home for dinner?"
Lin Huaichen's big hand touched Yu An's soft belly, which was particularly itchy. Yu An laughed and struggled, trying to avoid it, "Hahaha... yes, yes, it can make room for Fanfan to stay, haha..."
Lin Huaichen called Wen Xun with satisfaction, first calling him "dear baby" sweetly, and then asked him if he had eaten. Wen Xun naturally asked about the situation of the alien species in Xiaonan Lane.
Lin Huaichen cut to the chase, "...We're still waiting. We estimate it's a B-level alien. They can handle it. I'll take An An with me later..."
Lin Huaichen's words stopped abruptly, his eyes flashed, and he looked straight at Xiao Qizi, "Dear, things have changed. It will take a while before you can go back."
Wen Xun: "What's wrong?"
"The alien species is B-level, but there's more than one."
In the dim night, street lights on both sides of Xiaonan Lane lit up one after another. The quiet streets were silent, with occasional gusts of evening breeze blowing, bringing a biting chill.
The small flags placed on the ground were blown to the ground, and the black fog nearly three meters high slowly twisted into a vague human figure. He floated quietly in the air. The black fog was like a cloak, covering the alien's body. Only the huge chains wrapped around his white bone arms could be vaguely seen.
Yu An looked up in astonishment. This giant... looked like he could beat several of him to tears, and yet this could be called "weak"?!
"Shh-"
A big hand covered Yu An's little face, and Lin Huaichen took Yu An to hide behind the bus stop on the side of the road, observing this alien species that had never appeared before.
Not only him, all the personnel in the base chose to wait and see.
Yu An watched the night fogs appear one after another, a total of ten of them.
Their huge figures almost occupied the entire street, and their huge red eyes were like two red lanterns in the darkness, unscrupulously searching for prey around them.
“Wuwuwu…”
The slight crying sound attracted Yu An's attention. He leaned over to look and saw two children hanging on a Night Mist. They were Wan Cen and Li Wang. They seemed to be treated as pendants, hanging on the Night Mist, swaying with the movement of the Night Mist.
Wan Cen and Li Wang were still conscious. The two children were so scared that their faces were covered with tears. They sobbed desperately, but they didn't dare cry too loudly, for fear that the monster would dislike their noise and eat them in one bite.
In addition to them, there are several people hanging on almost every Night Mist.
There were no pedestrians in Xiaonan Lane tonight. The night fogs searched for a long time but did not find any food.
One of them was probably hungry, so he picked up a fat man on his body, and stuck a long straw like a mosquito's mouthparts into his mouth, pierced the man's neck, and sucked blood with a gurgling sound.
Fu Yunshu and Liu Ming's expressions changed at the same time, and they made sounds at the same time. Fu Yunshu condensed an ice blade in his hand and threw it out. The sharp ice blade cut off Ye Xingwu's mouthparts. The man fell from mid-air and was caught by Liu Ming and sent to the side.
The paramedics who had been waiting on the side immediately dragged the man who was bleeding profusely and convulsing all over to a safe area and began to rescue him without stopping.
Yu An saw the doctor take out a familiar [Reversal Fruit]. The doctor, with a look of heartache on his face, gently scooped a spoonful of fruit flesh and fed it into the man's mouth, then put the [Reversal Fruit] away with care.
After taking the [Reversal Fruit], the man's twitching body began to calm down, and he quietly allowed medical staff to treat him.
Yu An looked for a while, then quickly looked away, looking at Fu Yunshu and Liu Ming who were surrounded by the night fog. Fu Yunshu was A-level, so it was not difficult for him to deal with the B-level night fog. The only difficulty was that there were too many of them.
Liu Ming was only a B-level creature, so it was difficult for him to deal with a Night Mist. He could only try his best not to hold Fu Yunshu back.
Soon, the Night Mist also noticed the marks left on the base personnel and rushed towards them greedily, but they were all stopped by Fu Yunshu and Liu Ming.
Yu An turned to look at Lin Huaichen, who had a calm expression, and asked, "Dad, aren't we going to help?"
Lin Huaichen watched Fu Yunshu's flexible movements and fierce attacks in the night fog, and smiled, "Don't worry, potential is forced out. Trust them."
Yu An grabbed the corner of Lin Huaichen's clothes worriedly, and watched Fu Yunshu dodge Ye Xingwu's mouthparts and chains in fear. His heart was hanging in his throat, and he really wanted to help.
But then he thought again, he was not as powerful as Uncle Liu Ming, and it seemed that he could not help if he went. Yu An sighed in frustration, blaming himself for being too weak.
Suddenly, Yu An felt something cold on his head, as if something was floating down. He reached out to catch it, and a snowflake fell into his hand and slowly melted.
Yu An breathed softly, "Is it snowing?"
But it's September now, how could it possibly snow?!
"That's Fu Yunshu's ability." Lin Huaichen wiped Yu An's palm with a tissue with a look of disdain. "Don't get close to this snow. There are microscopic parasites in the snow that can control the mind."
Yu An was startled and immediately stopped being curious and went to pick up the snow.
Fu Yunshu was obviously taking them into consideration. The snow quickly gathered in the area of the Night Mist. In just a few minutes, Fu Yunshu controlled three Night Mists.
After killing four of them, it was now three against three, and Fu Yunshu could finally take a breath. Liu Ming had several wounds on his body, and was bleeding. Seeing this scene, he gave Fu Yunshu a thumbs up in amazement.
It’s worthy of him!
The six night-walking fogs were evenly matched. Fu Yunshu and Liu Ming only needed to take advantage of the chaos to rescue the humans hanging on the night-walking fogs, but suddenly, one of them suddenly stretched out its mouthparts, sucked its companions dry, and its body grew rapidly.
The balance was broken in an instant. The Night Mist that ate its companions then ate other Night Mists. Its level rose sharply, with a tendency to reach S-level.
This was beyond Fu Yunshu's control. His face turned pale, his mental control failed and he was hit back. He half-knelt on the ground, holding his heart and coughing up blood. The snow snake beside him was extremely anxious, biting his sleeve to try to get him out of the attack range of the night fog.
He can't die now. If Fu Yunshu dies, he will die too, but he is still a baby snake!
[Wuwuwuwuwu…]
Yu An was so anxious and helpless at the snow snake's cries that he wanted to rush out to help him immediately, but Lin Huaichen held his hand tightly. Yu An was so anxious that he cried, "Dad!"
Seeing that Fu Yunshu had no ability to resist, Lin Huaichen took a step forward and said, "Well, then I'll go..."
"Damn it, stop right there!"
An angry roar interrupted Lin Huaichen's words. Yu An felt that the voice was very familiar. He turned his head and saw a rebellious young man with dyed red hair chasing a long-haired young man with an angry look on his face. There was a hot flame burning in his hand. He suddenly threw a fireball out in an attempt to stop the young man.
But the long-haired young man reacted quickly, dodging the fireball attack at a speed that no human could achieve, and easily broke through the spatial confinement on him.
The flames that the young man dodged hit the giant Night Mist head-on. The terrifying high temperature burned it alive, and the Night Mist let out a shrill scream.
Yu An stood there in a daze as he looked at the two people running towards him. He seemed to know both of them. The one behind him with an angry face was Ling Xingcheng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and the one he was chasing was... Qiao Xiuer? !
Yu An opened his eyes wide in shock and subconsciously covered his mouth to suppress the cry that was about to come out.
He would not mistake Qiao Xuer's exquisite and beautiful face after so many years, but why did Brother Xingcheng pursue him and why was he so angry?
