Chapter 267
"Everything that can be is there."
——This message, which was transmitted intermittently from the league camp to the temporary combat meeting room at the transit station, seemed to contain some ominous information.
But it was a good thing that the Senior League camp had reappeared, giving the rescue team a way in. It was also a good thing that there were children in the camp who could respond to outside communications.
When the advance team passed through the first entrance and began to enter the airspace of the league camp, Jiang Yunu had once again launched a pursuit of the middle-aged man's "core" in the underground research institute base that was not yet aware of the outside world's movements.
"Actually, I've been wanting to ask this for a long time." Jiang Yunu drove his supernatural vines to chase the energy ball in front of him, observing its shape and structure with interest. At the same time, he asked the man's three-dimensional projection, "What exactly is your 'core'?"
The chase had been going on for a while.
In the previous few moments, the green supernatural vines had almost touched the edge of the energy ball called the "core".
However, a vine swept down towards the edge, and the impact felt light and fluffy when it was fed back to Jiang Yunu, with a texture similar to hitting a ball of foam.
This means that the "core" mentioned by the middle-aged man is not as big as it looks. Its entity is much smaller than its appearance. It is possible that the real entity is wrapped in a large amount of supernatural light, and the overflowing energy is used to encapsulate the real inner part. It is both a thick layer of protection and conceals its form.
Jiang Yunu wanted to explore further at that time, but soon with a "bang", the foam energy entangled by her vines dissipated, and the energy ball escaped from the reach of the green vines and accelerated to escape.
Jiang Yunu: "..."
The white-haired girl was not discouraged. She just raised her eyebrows at the alternative "cutting off the tail to survive" that she had inadvertently witnessed.
Then catch up again.
After being "brushed and chased" by her vines several times in succession, the energy ball continued to cut itself off from the touched parts, and its entire volume had shrunk a lot.
But even so, the outline of the "core" inside is still not visible.
The projection of the middle-aged man did not answer Jiang Yunu's question.
His previous ease and pretense of superiority had completely disappeared, and he no longer had the heart to chat with young people about random things.
He could feel that the white-haired girl really wanted to catch him this time.
And he couldn't even predict what the girl would do to him if he was really caught... He didn't even dare to confidently conclude that he wouldn't be caught!
There are still many mutants left in the underground research institute base. In the institute's "Body Recycling and Processing Center", there is also a batch of reusable experimental bodies. They are all mutants that have lost their ability to move and were recovered from various parts of the camp not long ago. They have been labeled "waiting for processing."
The entire underground research institute base is driven and operated by the subjective consciousness of a middle-aged man.
The "core" that is escaping is his main consciousness.
——Of course he couldn’t reveal the existence of the main brain to Jiang Yunu.
But strangely, deep in the middle-aged man's sense of crisis, he felt that the white-haired girl might have guessed what his "core" was.
She asked the question, perhaps just wanting to hear him admit it himself.
She just wanted to play.
Almost like a feline toying with its prey.
The middle-aged man said nothing, and his "core" - his main brain - moved quickly.
He continued to summon mutants, asking the recycling center to speed up the processing process so as to create a continuous army of mutants to slow down Jiang Yunu's actions.
Even if she is extremely capable and has a fighting talent that is simply not something that ordinary humans can possess, she still has a limit to her physical strength and a limit to the use of her supernatural powers - at the very least, there must be a limit to her energy compatibility, right?
The middle-aged man even took advantage of Chen Yijing. He sent a large number of upgraded mutants to besiege the young boy, intending to distract Jiang Yunu so that he would have to divert his attention to support his companions.
Captain Shen was openly underestimated, and his reputation as the youngest school team captain in Duma's history was regarded as a joke. However, he remained calm and composed, dealing with all the enemies who attacked him silently and calmly.
Jiang Yunu had made a judgment before, and it was really accurate when it came to Shen Yijing.
——Maybe Captain Shen is a little cold on the outside but soft on the inside, kindhearted and a little naive on the inside, but between "Jiang Yunu" and "others", he will support the front without hesitation.
Shen Yijing had mercy on the mutant before, and the black long sword changed from blade attack to back attack.
Now, in order not to slow down Jiang Yunu's actions, he silently cut the back of the knife back to the blade, and no longer showed mercy to any of the mutants who surrounded him.
After this seemingly endless pursuit and encirclement and breakout lasted for a long time, it was finally the turn of the middle-aged man's three-dimensional projection to speak.
He asked Jiang Yunu: "What on earth are you?"
The middle-aged man's voice was filled with complete confusion. He looked at Jiang Yunu as if he was looking at a puzzle that was even more difficult to decipher than the so-called "cosmic problem."
Jiang Yunu said, "How rude! Who are you describing as a 'thing'?"
Before the middle-aged man could respond, Jiang Yunu readily added, "—Of course, you're not allowed to immediately follow up with 'You're nothing.' This little combo is too old-fashioned. I haven't done it since I was 12."
Shen Yijing: “…”
Chen Yijing was distracted by a question that had nothing to do with the atmosphere at the scene. He was wondering: How old is Jiang Yunu now?
But the middle-aged man was not distracted.
He stared at Jiang Yunu for a full five seconds - while driving his main brain to continue running wildly, escaping from the pursuit of the supernatural vines, he stared at him.
Looking at the white-haired girl's face in contemplation did not affect his escape.
During this short period of time, he had become so evasive in his attempts to escape from Jiang Yunu's pursuit that it became his instinct.
"You know..." The middle-aged man spoke again. He looked at Jiang Yunu, as if the confusion he had hidden could no longer be suppressed, forcing him to speak out, "Do you know that you are still evolving?"
Jiang Yunu: "Oh?"
The white-haired girl simply replied with a single syllable, as if everything was under control.
The middle-aged man's emotions became excited again. "Your cell activity is increasing, and your muscle strength is also increasing! And according to common sense, with long-term remote control of superpowers, the superpower index will only become smaller and smaller over time, and the energy that can be remotely controlled will become weaker and weaker - but that's not the case with you!"
The middle-aged man had actually been observing Jiang Yunu all along. Since his main brain could drive the operation of the entire underground research institute base, then of course, when he was briefly swept to the edge of the "core energy group" by the supernatural vines a few times, he also got a glimpse of some of Jiang Yunu's power information.
"You're getting stronger!" the middle-aged man exclaimed. "You're getting stronger and stronger! Stronger than any theory can make you stronger!"
Jiang Yunu said, "Hmm."
She replied again with a single syllable, ambiguous.
But in fact, only she herself knows the answer, and she is also thinking: What is she?
On the ground, the rescue advance teams from the three major associations have arrived at the league camp and entered the camp's central suspended platform from the airspace.
