Chapter 254 Mysterious Red Mist



North of Guangzhou, outside the red fog area.

"Sigh, Qiangzi and the others have been inside for a whole day, why haven't they come out yet?"

“This red fog has been spreading outwards every day. Two days ago, it suddenly swelled up and enveloped Qiangzi’s house in one go.”

“His wife is still inside, but we can’t just ignore her.”

"I was too reckless. This red mist is very strange. I haven't seen any zombies or mutated beasts come out since they went in."

"Yes, yes, when I went closer, it sounded like a voice kept calling me to go inside. It was really eerie!"

"It's still not safe here. Let's try to get to the South District. There was a city-wide announcement earlier that the authorities have built a shelter there!"

"Aren't Qiangzi and the others going to wait?"

"You're probably not going to get out. Are you coming or not? If not, I'll leave on my own!"

More than ten survivors hid in a cleared small building, talking quietly while watching the red mist.

The man who suggested leaving appeared to be a wealthy businessman, and he got up with two other accomplices to leave.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment and then gradually stood up, intending to follow.

After all, they were just sticking together for warmth in this post-apocalyptic world.

Even though Qiangzi was the first to lead the rescue, it wasn't as important as his own life.

The wealthy businessman stopped and turned to look at the person who had decided to leave with him.

He sneered inwardly, "The eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother; we're all just trying to live a better life."

We've already waited here for two days and consumed quite a bit of food; we've done more than enough.

The wealthy businessman looked out the window and suddenly saw a huge cockroach fly across the sky and disappear into the red mist.

His eyes widened in surprise, his mouth agape, and the cigarette he had been reluctant to light fell to the ground.

Have you ever seen a Gaza that's over 10 meters long?

"Some are only ten centimeters or so. Were you affected by the red fog?"

"This is really weird. Let's get out of here, watch out for the mutated beasts outside."

"I don't know why, but there are just as many mutant beasts as zombies in this area."

After some hesitation, the group carefully made their way out of the building and headed towards the official shelter in the southern part of Guangzhou.

......

On the other side, the moment Huang Zhao controlled Da Qiang to fly into the red mist, it seemed as if he had broken through some kind of barrier.

Huang Zhao subconsciously withdrew his mental perception area, a conditioned reflex he had developed after several encounters with the Corpse King.

Indeed, the barrier we broke through earlier was the feeling of entering the mental perception zone.

"Could this red mist area have been caused by some kind of zombie king?"

However, there was a difference. Although spiritual energy permeated the red mist, Huang Zhao did not feel like he was being spied on.

If there really is such a large area of ​​mental perception, it would require at least a level six or higher mentally awakened being to achieve this.

The moment Huang Zhao enters, he will be discovered and then knocked down with a mental shock.

Although it was not attacked, Huang Zhao still carefully maneuvered Daqiang to land on the ground.

Unlike the view inside which is almost impossible to see from outside the red fog.

Once inside, the visible area is somewhat limited, but you can still observe a scene about 100 meters away.

As far as the naked eye could see, there was only a faint red mist and buildings that were now deserted.

The absence of both zombies and human survivors made Huang Zhao somewhat wary.

I'm just worried that there might be unexpected situations if I expand my mental perception area, so I'm temporarily pulling it back.

Anyway, given Daqiang's speed, he can cover a 10-kilometer distance in less than two minutes.

rush!

Daqiang crawled along the road toward the area where his parents lived.

However, because the sonic boom attracted the attention of an unknown entity in the red fog, Huang Zhao only proceeded at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.

After walking for about five minutes, Huang Zhao suddenly realized something was wrong.

If Daqiang had been traveling in a straight line at his current speed, he would have already broken out of the red mist area.

It's impossible to still be moving forward among towering buildings all this time.

Is this a case of being trapped in a maze?

Huang Zhao was somewhat puzzled; this was indeed rather strange.

Stopping his movements, Huang Zhao's split consciousness pondered, only to suddenly realize that the connection with his main body seemed to have been severed.

I was immediately startled again; this red mist area was truly eerie!

Turning back was out of the question. With a determined look in his mind, Huang Zhao directly activated the mental perception area of ​​his subconscious.

The sensing area, which could originally extend to nearly 400 meters, was reduced to less than 200 meters under the suppression of the red mist.

After the sensory area was extended, Huang Zhao immediately noticed something different.

The scene that came to mind was very different from the scene that Daqiang saw through his eyes!

Even the senses of a level four mutated beast can be distorted, so the being in this red mist must be extraordinary.

Its level is definitely higher than level four!

Thinking of this, Huang Zhao immediately quickened his pace.

If we're not sure if we'll be discovered, we'll just get to our destination as quickly as possible and leave!

Daqiang crawled quickly down the slope and arrived at the neighborhood Huang Zhao was familiar with, where he had lived for more than ten years, in just two minutes.

But all was quiet, still quiet, without any sound or movement.

Huang Zhao controlled Daqiang to lie on the outside of their apartment balcony and look inside.

The interior was empty, with tables, chairs, and other items scattered haphazardly on the floor, as if a thief had broken in and ransacked the place.

Seeing this, Huang Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

The best-case scenario, of course, is that both parents are at home with plenty of food, so they don't need to go out and can wait for rescue.

Huang Zhao had even mentally prepared himself for the possibility that his parents might actually turn into zombies.

He had anticipated this and would bring his parents back to Dawn City for burial.

To my surprise, the house was completely empty.

According to his mental perception, not only in his home, but also in the entire neighborhood, there were no zombies that were originally the most numerous and trapped in their homes!

Weird!

First, you need to find a living being with whom you can communicate and understand the situation.

Huang Zhao was anxious and decided to search around the area of ​​red mist.

They no longer cared about being watched by the beings within the red mist.

At this moment, he was about 2 kilometers inside the red fog zone, and still 5 kilometers away from the center.

......

After the subconscious entered the red mist area, Huang Zhao's main body suddenly found that it could no longer communicate with the subconscious and share images.

Startled, he immediately closed his eyes and began searching along the mental connection.

It sped forward at a speed of over 1,100 meters per second, and was finally cut off in a barrier area.

"This is...an area comprised of other awakened spiritual beings?"

Huang Zhao could only vaguely sense that his subconscious was still present and relatively safe.

However, there was no way to go inside and find out what was going on, which made me a little anxious.

"King Kong, full speed ahead towards Guangzhou!"

Opening his tense eyes, Huang Zhao frowned and gave instructions to Jin Gang.

"Senior brother, what happened?"

Noticing Huang Zhao's unusual behavior, Ning Chuxia asked a question.
