"Haha! Lu Ning, long time no see!"
Upon seeing Lu Ning, Nan Yu happily came over and gave Lu Ning a hug.
Their actions in Base City 121 forged a life-or-death bond between them.
Not only the two of them, but also Eileen and others, would keep in touch from time to time. Eileen and Sherry even came to Base City 116 for a visit during their vacation.
Lu Ning nodded: "Long time no see."
Nan Yu smiled helplessly: "You're still so cold?"
Saint Qinglan nodded to Lu Ning and said, "The situation of the expanding mist is quite urgent. Lu Ning, if you are ready, shall we set off now?"
Lu Ning nodded and said, "I'm ready to leave at any time."
Saint Qinglan glanced at Colin and the others beside her, nodded, and said, "Then let's go."
Lu Ning had already said goodbye to Colin and the others, and he nodded slightly to them.
Colin adjusted his glasses and chuckled, "Although it's a bit inappropriate for you to say this since you're immortal, I hope you'll still be careful."
Lu Ning nodded: "I will."
He turned and left with Saint Qinglan and the others.
This time, unlike before, we didn't travel by off-road vehicle.
Saint Qinglan summoned a whirlwind, which swept up Lu Ning and the others, sending them flying towards the 233rd mist.
In the air, the Sage Qinglan introduced everyone.
Besides Nan Yu, the five members consist of three men and two women. Among the three men, two are middle-aged and one is an old man. The white-haired old man is named An Lan, whose awakened ability is super intelligence, and he is an eighth-level awakener.
Unlike others, An Lan is a crucial scientist in the Federation's research on mist.
The expansion of the No. 233 mist is highly unusual, and Elder Anlan is the key figure in investigating this expansion of the mist.
Of the entire mist exploration team, he was the most important.
Besides An Lan, there was a slightly overweight middle-aged man named Steve, who was a ninth-tier Awakened with the ability of metallization.
A handsome middle-aged man named Jerry is also a ninth-level Awakened, whose ability is mental enhancement.
This ability, like Yun Rou's psychological suggestion, belongs to the mental power category, but there are also differences.
Both women looked quite young, but since high-level awakened beings have long lifespans, Lu Ning didn't know their exact age.
Of course, he wasn't interested in this question either.
One of the short-haired, round-faced women was named Yang Yin. Her ability was the power of killing. The stronger the killing intent she contained, the stronger her own power would be. She could even fill the mind of her opponent with killing intent, causing them to go berserk without distinguishing friend from foe.
There is also a tall, slender blonde woman named Gina, whose power is fire.
Yang Yin is a ninth-tier user, while Gina is an eighth-tier user.
The one with the lowest apparent strength here is naturally Lu Ning, who is only at the sixth rank.
However, on the way here, Saint Qinglan and Nanyu had obviously talked to Anlan and the others about what happened in Base City 121.
An Lan and the others all treated Lu Ning very well and did not think that Lu Ning was a burden.
After exchanging information and getting to know each other, the group flew to the outside of Fog 233.
With a wave of his hand, the group landed.
The Azure Mist Saint calmly said, "The situation in the mist is unclear, so we need to be careful and not fly around recklessly. Let's start from here and slowly explore the mist."
An Lan nodded, then touched the silver bracelet on his left wrist with his right hand. The bracelet shimmered with silver light, and the next moment, a black device appeared in his hand.
An Lan said, "This is the highest level of mental pollution detection instrument. It is very accurate and can detect changes in mental pollution within a one-kilometer radius, even in the fog."
Jerry asked in surprise, "Old An, why don't you make more of this good stuff? If it were widely available, it would be very useful, wouldn't it?"
An Lan glanced at Jerry and laughed, "Young man, it's not that simple. The production conditions for this thing are extremely demanding, and it cannot be mass-produced."
Jerry was a little disappointed: "Okay then."
Anlan operated the instrument for a while, and then several dots appeared on the display screen.
The central area of the instrument was a dark blue dot of light representing Lu Ning and his group.
There are several red dots in the corner of the screen.
An Lan said, "The dark blue light spots indicate mental stability, while the red light spots indicate mental confusion. There are either calamity beasts or diseased individuals in those places."
An Lan pointed to several directions where the red dot on the screen was located.
Lu Ning glanced at it and found that, upon closer inspection, it was indeed possible to see that the concentration of white fog varied in these different directions.
The others nodded in agreement.
Saint Qinglan smiled and said, "Anlan, with this instrument, our mission this time will be much easier."
An Lan nodded: "Okay, let's go. Should we go around or just charge straight through?"
Judging from An Lan's eager appearance, she seemed less like a scientist and more like a warrior.
Saint Qinglan thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a detour. The situation in the mist is uncertain, so it's better to be on the safe side."
"Okay, I'll give you directions."
An Lan began to give directions, and after entering the mist, the group headed deeper inside.
Upon entering the fog, the fog's density was not particularly high.
Lu Ning observed the surrounding environment.
The environment inside the fog seemed not much different from the outside world; as far as the eye could see, it was desolate.
However, trees can be seen occasionally.
The trees here are all different in appearance. Lu Ning saw a red tree with branches that looked like tentacles wriggling.
As they got closer, Lu Ning discovered that the tree branches even had eyes, staring intently at Lu Ning and the others.
