On the top platform, a large number of fleshy monsters are besieging three figures.
One of them, with flames burning on his hands, was Xu Hui.
The other is a giant white tiger, which is Sherry's white tiger form.
The last figure to release a sound wave was Cheng Yue.
At this moment, the three of them were covered in blood, leaning against each other to withstand wave after wave of attacks from the flesh-and-blood monster.
Their mental state was extremely weak. The flames in Xu Hui's hands were dim, the white tiger was covered in hideous wounds, and even Cheng Yue's voice sounded hoarse.
Besides them, Dennis and Song Sinian were also originally left outside.
The two people disappeared without a trace.
As Nan Yu and the others landed, Lu Ning's sword flashed, instantly killing all the fleshy monsters on the empty platform.
The three people who were fighting off the flesh monster snapped out of their daze and looked up.
Upon seeing Lu Ning and the others, a glimmer of light appeared in their previously numb eyes.
Xu Hui said in a hoarse voice, "Captain! You're finally back!"
Shirley and Cheng Yue were also relieved.
Nan Yu nodded and was about to walk over.
Just then, Lu Ning stopped Nan Yu in his tracks.
His body vanished from its original spot and instantly appeared in front of Cheng Yue, reaching out to press his hand against Cheng Yue's chest.
Cheng Yue's expression changed slightly, his voice hoarse: "Captain Lu! What are you trying to do?"
The others were also caught off guard.
However, the next moment, they realized something was wrong.
Cheng Yue's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and his flesh twisted and grew, making him look like a flesh monster.
Xu Hui and Shirley's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately retreated, trying to get away from Nan Yu and the others.
Nan Yu's expression was serious as he hissed, "Don't come any closer!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Hui and Shirley were taken aback, then they understood what was going on.
Xu Hui quickly said, "Captain, we're all fine!"
However, he still didn't get closer, but instead took a few steps back in another direction.
The same goes for Shirley.
"roar!"
After Cheng Yue transformed into a flesh and blood monster, his physical strength increased dramatically, but when faced with Lu Ning's power, he was still like an ant trying to shake a tree, powerless to resist.
His hands transformed into sharp claws, reaching for Lu Ning's neck and tearing out hideous, bloody welts.
Lu Ning remained expressionless, exerted a little force, and the next moment, a wisp of white mist was pulled out.
Sensing this change, the phantom of the flesh and blood source deep within the white mist suddenly erupted.
Subsequently, Cheng Yue's flesh and blood swelled up, and mental pollution surged.
Lu Ning's expression changed slightly, and he immediately took a few steps back.
Then he saw Cheng Yue's body almost turn into a ball of flesh.
Then, with a loud bang, it exploded.
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and violent shockwaves surged in all directions. Fortunately, Nan Yu immediately altered the gravitational field around Cheng Yue, blocking the blood, flesh, and shockwaves.
Otherwise, this blow could have been enough to injure someone.
Xu Hui and Shirley stared at the pool of blood and flesh on the ground and fell silent.
"How could Lao Cheng?!" Xu Hui muttered to himself in disbelief.
Shirley was also baffled: "He didn't attack us just now?! When was he contaminated??"
Nan Yu ignored their murmurs and looked at Lu Ning, asking seriously, "Lu Ning, are they alright?"
These words immediately made Xu Hui and Shirley tense up.
They were terrified to hear Lu Ning say that they, too, had been contaminated.
Lu Ning's calm eyes swept over the two of them, then he shook his head: "They do not have the seed of flesh and blood in their bodies."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Nan Yu reached out and crushed some of the fleshy monsters that had just climbed up, then asked, "Xu Hui, Shirley, I hope you can understand."
Xu Hui nodded and said, "Captain, it's nothing, we can all understand. Who would have thought that Lao Cheng would also be contaminated?"
Shirley nodded as well.
"Okay, you two take a rest first, we'll hold them off for a bit."
Eileen also spoke, unleashing bolts of lightning that killed the fleshy monsters that had climbed up.
Xu Hui immediately sat down to rest.
Sulli did not recover and also lay down to rest.
When Sherry saw Afaf's corpse on Ke Qing's back, Tiger Eyes trembled.
She said in surprise, "This is..."
Ke Qing put the body down and said sadly, "Ms. Afaf has sacrificed herself."
Xu Hui and Shirley fell silent.
Lu Ning stood at the edge of the platform and slashed his sword down towards the area below the tall building. The hundred-meter-long sword light instantly cleared out an area.
He calmly asked, "What about the others?"
Xu Hui said solemnly, "Dennis sacrificed himself earlier. We couldn't retrieve his body, so he's probably gone. Old Song..."
Xu Hui gritted his teeth and fell silent.
His hands were clenched into fists, trembling slightly, and his eyes were red-rimmed.
Shirley said slowly, "Old Song wanted to use his speed to lure away a group of monsters for us... but now that's probably gone too."
Everyone fell into a deep silence.
The ten members of the investigation team forged a deep friendship during this period.
Unexpectedly, four people died in such a short time.
However, they also understood that now was not the time to be sad.
Nan Yu asked, "Have you relayed the message back to headquarters?"
Xu Hui shook his head: "We didn't have time! The white fog enveloped the entire base city in just a few breaths. By the time we discovered that others were starting to mutate, communications had already been cut off. We couldn't even contact you!"
