After a moment of silence, Nan Yu slowly said, "Once we've rested, we'll head towards the exit in the direction you indicated. Once we escape, we can notify headquarters, and then..."
Nan Yu paused slightly at this point and looked at Ke Qing.
Once headquarters finds out, this base city will surely be destroyed.
Ke Qing's expression was calm as she said, "I will stay here with my parents. They have protected this city their whole lives, but in the last part of their lives they did things they did not want to do. I will accompany them to atone for their sins."
Just then, Lu Ning spoke up: "I might be able to remove the mental pollution from your body."
Hearing this, not only Nan Yu and his group, but even Ke Qing was stunned.
Nan Yu suddenly realized something and his eyes lit up. "That's right! Lu Ning, can't you absorb mental pollution? There's mental pollution in this Seed of Flesh and Blood too, so you should be able to absorb it, right?"
The others also looked at Lu Ning expectantly.
Lu Ning calmly said, "Before, I couldn't see the Seed of Flesh and Blood, so I thought the mental pollution of these diseased individuals was connected to this base city. Now it seems that their mental pollution is hidden within the Seed of Flesh and Blood, and then affects their bodies through the Seed of Flesh and Blood... As long as we find the source, we should be able to remove the mental pollution."
At this point, Lu Ning paused slightly, looked at Ke Qing seriously, and said, "However, I am not sure if this flesh and blood seed will mutate once I absorb the spiritual pollution, so I cannot completely guarantee your safety."
Upon hearing this, Ke Qing paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "Since there's a risk, let's leave it at that for now. I need to get you out of here first. If I die here and you don't know the way out, you'll probably be trapped here and die."
Nan Yu and the others hesitated upon hearing this.
Indeed, if Keqing weren't there, they wouldn't be able to find their way out.
Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Ke Qing nodded slightly.
The group then continued to absorb spiritual energy to restore their physical strength.
Time flew by, and more than an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Ning noticed that the surrounding light barrier seemed to be dimming, and even the spiritual energy within the light barrier was becoming increasingly thin.
Not only Lu Ning, but Nan Yu and the others also noticed this.
Ke Qing's expression changed slightly: "The spiritual energy inside is used to maintain the defense. We've absorbed too much spiritual energy, and I'm afraid the defense will collapse faster than I expected!"
Nan Yu took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said, "I've almost fully recovered."
Eileen, Afaf, and Lin Menglan also stood up, saying that they had almost recovered as well.
"Now that everyone has recovered, let's prepare to leave." Ke Qing took a deep breath, her expression becoming serious.
She turned to look at the beautiful woman behind her, a look of sadness appearing in her eyes.
"Mom, I'm leaving now."
Just then, cracks appeared on the blue crystal.
As cracks appeared in the crystal, the light shield fluctuated more and more violently.
Moreover, the beautiful woman's body seemed to be enveloped in a blue halo.
As the blue light flashed, the beautiful woman's body, starting from her hands that held the crystal, gradually turned into ashes.
As her mental energy was depleted, the power that sustained the beautiful woman's body also dissipated, and her physical body began to collapse.
Seeing this, Ke Qing's eyes turned red, and tears immediately streamed down her face.
She bit her lower lip, trying to hold back her tears, and stared intently at the beautiful woman.
Nan Yu bowed slightly to the beautiful woman with a serious expression and said, "Rest in peace. We will spread the news from here."
The beautiful woman's body turned to ashes in just a few breaths.
The blue crystal fell to the ground, shattered into several pieces, and then turned to ashes as well.
As the blue crystal turned to ashes, the already violently fluctuating light shield completely collapsed.
The moment the light shield shattered, the flesh and blood that had been blocked outside rushed in.
Approaching along with the tide of flesh and blood were the flesh monsters that had been waiting outside.
Lu Ning glanced at the flesh and blood monster that Li Fu had transformed into and noticed a hint of moisture appearing in his brutal eyes.
Then, he let out a low growl and once again commanded the other flesh and blood monsters to charge.
"Over here!"
Ke Qing was in much better shape now, and she forced back her grief as she pointed in the direction.
That's the other side of the light shield.
This side was also covered in blood and flesh, but it had been perfectly calm before.
As the tide of flesh and blood approached, the previously calm flesh and blood channels began to stir slowly.
However, since there were no flesh-and-blood monsters on the road, they moved extremely fast and quickly covered a long distance.
Ke Qing followed Lu Ning and led the way. They traveled through the pipes, and at every fork in the road, Ke Qing was able to quickly find the right direction.
However, only ten minutes later, fleshy monsters began to appear ahead.
A large number of fleshy monsters blocked their path and rushed towards them.
Lu Ning wielded the crimson sword and slashed at these fleshy monsters. The crimson sword in his hand hummed and trembled continuously, as if it were very excited.
Their speed was noticeably slowed down because the flesh-and-blood monsters were blocking the road.
Moreover, Lu Ning discovered that the flesh-and-blood monsters blocking the road were becoming increasingly powerful.
Most of the flesh-and-blood monsters we encountered before were third or fourth tier.
Now, some of the flesh and blood monsters have even reached the fifth rank.
This made Lu Ning's breakout even slower.
Li Fu and the other infected individuals who had been chasing them also rushed over with the remaining flesh and blood monsters.
