"What's going on?!" Liu Qiang roared.
"Yun Rou? Could it be that the dream dimension has been destroyed?!" Li Yihang frowned. "We haven't found the pathogen yet!"
Yun Rou shook her head: "Impossible! These three nodes have not been damaged yet. It's just a crack. It's impossible for it to cause the entire dream dimension to collapse."
As soon as Yun Rou finished speaking, all the buildings in the entire base city began to melt as if they were made of viscous liquid.
On the streets outside the square, all the figures formed from the dreams were frozen in place, as if they, like the buildings, had melted away.
Two of the spirits that sank into the dream dimension did not melt.
The two spiritual entities seemed to have been startled awake from their dream.
Upon seeing this scene, he immediately let out a terrified scream.
As the base city and the dream illusion melted away, Lu Ning and the others discovered that the ground in the base city was also gradually softening.
They looked down and found that the ground had also turned into silvery slime.
"What's going on?!" Yan Feng found his legs sinking into a silvery slime, as if he were in a swamp.
He struggled to pull his legs out, but found it was impossible.
The same was true for the others; Colin, being a telekinetic user, even tried to take flight.
As a result, his telekinesis was completely ineffective in getting rid of the silvery slime on the ground.
Even Lu Ning was unable to pull his legs out.
His current strength, without the enhancement of a soul weapon, is not as great as it is in reality, but it is still comparable to an eighth-tier physical enhancement awakener.
Even so, he still couldn't pull his legs out, which shows how strong the swallowing power of the slime was.
Yun Rou tried to use her mental powers to break the deadlock, but found that she couldn't interfere with the silver slime at all.
The group's faces turned pale as they struggled, but the silvery slime continued to devour them bit by bit.
The silvery slime continued to rise, while the silvery mist above continued to descend.
Gradually, the two merged into one, and the spiritual entity in the middle, which had been swallowed by the silvery slime, became still.
Within the silver mist, those faces seemed to have completely blended into it.
Then, the silver mist and silver slime merged, transforming into a deep silver mist.
The light and mist were distorted, and there seemed to be some mysterious power flowing inside.
…………
Reality.
Base City No. 116.
Central Hospital, Yu Ran's ward.
Qiu Yuelin sat on the sofa, glancing at Yu Ran, who was unconscious, from time to time.
Just then, Yu Ran suddenly trembled violently and let out a painful groan.
Qiu Yuelin perked up and quickly walked to the bedside.
"Sister Ran? Are you alright?"
Qiu Yuelin hurriedly picked up a towel from the side and wiped Yu Ran's face.
Just then, she suddenly saw streaks of silvery slime seeping out from the wall.
Qiu Yuelin was startled, her body tensed, and she became alert.
Just as Qiu Yuelin became alert, she heard a series of exclamations coming from outside the window.
Qiu Yuelin frowned, watching warily as silvery viscous fluid seeped from the wall. She walked to the window and glanced outside.
Upon seeing the scene outside the window, Qiu Yuelin's eyes widened in astonishment.
Wisps of faint silver mist kept drifting out from the ground outside.
These silvery mists rose, forming thin silvery clouds that drifted over the base city.
Silvery viscous liquid seeped from all the buildings that Qiu Yuelin could see.
There wasn't much silvery slime, but it emitted an eerie glow.
Everyone stared in horror at the building deep within the silvery slime and the silvery mist drifting from the ground.
Qiu Yuelin's face was pale, and she murmured, "What happened?!"
Just then, Qiu Yuelin's phone rang.
She took it out and saw that it was a call from Li Mu.
Qiu Yuelin quickly answered the call.
Li Mu's voice was grave: "Xiao Lin?! Are you alright? How is Xiao Ran?"
Qiu Yuelin glanced at Yu Ran, whose brows were furrowed, face was pale, body was stiff, and she occasionally made painful sounds.
She began, "Since just now, I don't know what happened, but it seems like the situation has worsened. It looks like I'm having a nightmare! But for now, it doesn't seem like my life is in danger."
Li Mu breathed a slight sigh of relief, then said, "The anomaly in the base city is probably because Lu Ning and the others did something in the dream dimension. It seems the situation isn't good right now."
"What should we do then?" Qiu Yuelin's expression changed slightly, and she became somewhat anxious.
Li Mu said with a solemn expression, "I have already contacted headquarters. Director Li and the others are not here. The few fourth-level senior executives who are still here have decided to ask headquarters for help now."
Qiu Yuelin frowned, a little worried, and said, "But Sister Mumu, if the plague can't be controlled, won't the headquarters just destroy our base city?"
Li Mu's voice softened slightly: "Xiao Lin, are you afraid of dying?"
Qiu Yuelin shook her head: "I don't mind dying myself, after all, I've been a member of the action team for so long, I'm already prepared. But I don't want my parents to die."
As she spoke, Qiu Yuelin unconsciously bit her lower lip.
Li Mu paused for a moment, then said, "But the spread of the plague will affect all the surrounding base cities, and even more people will die, potentially impacting the entire human civilization. If necessary, our destruction can allow civilization to continue."
"I know." Qiu Yuelin's eyes were red and tears streamed down her face as she choked out, "But... but I haven't talked to my parents much yet."
Li Mu smiled easily: "Why don't you call your parents first?"
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Yuelin wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and forced a smile.
She then dialed her mother's number.
On the other end of the phone, Qiu Yuelin's mother's voice came through with some tension and worry: "Hello? Xiaolin? Are you alright? It seems something happened in the base city. Are you busy? Are you in any danger?"
Hearing her mother's worried voice, Qiu Yuelin's well-practiced smile immediately froze.
She took a deep breath, forcibly controlling her emotions, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Mom, don't worry about it. It's just a small problem. Your daughter is a senior member of the action team now and can protect herself."
Qiu Yuelin's mother visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Qiu Yuelin's eyes were red as she said, "Mom, you all need to take good care of yourselves too. I love you..."
Before Qiu Yuelin could finish speaking, she heard a thud from the other end of the phone.
Qiu Yuelin's expression changed drastically, and she cried out in alarm, "Mom!?"
Before she could say anything more, she suddenly felt dizzy and then collapsed to the ground, falling into a deep sleep.
Outside the ward, the terrified screams had stopped.
The entire base city became very quiet, as if everything had fallen into a deep sleep.
