The three went up to the third floor and continued their search for survivors.
However, after searching the entire third floor, they only found a few patients with the disease.
Wang Yan guessed, "Did those two people's team kill most of the infected people here? After all, they appeared on the third floor in the first place."
“Possibly.” Lu Ning then led them to the fourth floor.
Upon arriving on the fourth floor, Lu Ning noticed that the concentration of mental radiation had increased again.
This may be because we are getting closer and closer to the corrupted incense burner.
This had no impact on Lu Ning, but Qiu Yuelin and Wang Yan both frowned.
Qiu Yuelin looked around nervously, then asked Lu Ning, "Brother Lu Ning, did you hear anything?"
Wang Yan nodded upon hearing this: "I heard it too! It sounded like someone was whispering... but I couldn't hear what they were saying."
Lu Ning looked at the two calmly and said, "It should be mental pollution caused by mental radiation. You are hallucinating."
Upon hearing this, both of them changed their expressions drastically and fell silent.
Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, "If you stay here for a while, you might develop the disease. Go downstairs. The three floors below have been cleared out, and there won't be any infected people there. You should be safe."
Wang Yan said nervously, "But... Commander Lu Ning, you saw it just now. The Fallen Incense Burner will bring the infected people over. If it's just the two of us, we will definitely be killed by the infected people."
Qiu Yuelin was also a little worried: "Brother Lu Ning, should we still go with you?"
After going through the previous floors, Wang Yan and Qiu Yuelin both felt that they only felt safe when they were with Lu Ning.
Lu Ning said calmly, "I don't care, I'm just afraid you won't be able to hold on."
"We can definitely hold on!" The two nodded solemnly.
Lu Ning said no more and turned to walk out of the stairwell.
As soon as Lu Ning stepped out of the stairwell, he saw two patients with lesions in the corridor.
One of the patients had severe mental pollution, reaching level four.
Perhaps it is because the closer one gets to the area of the Fallen Incense Burner, the stronger the infected person becomes.
The two patients rushed over as soon as they saw Lu Ning and his two companions.
However, for Lu Ning, these two patients were not a threat.
He shot and killed one of the third-tier infected individuals with a single shot, then smashed the head of the fourth-tier infected individual with a single punch.
Perhaps because of the commotion, several doors on both sides of the corridor were forced open, and some more patients with the disease appeared.
Among these patients, three had stage IV lesions.
However, it was still an easy kill for Lu Ning.
When the sounds of battle subsided, the corridor was riddled with potholes and littered with the corpses and blood of the infected.
"Let's go."
Lu Ning led Qiu Yuelin and Wang Yan, stepping over the corpses of the infected with the disease, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and continued deeper into the morgue.
Just as they walked through the two corridors, Lu Ning and the other two saw the illusory projection again.
There are four people in the projection.
Two of them were people Lu Ning knew.
One is Wang Qiwen, and the other is Tailong.
The other two were people Lu Ning had never seen before, and they weren't even the Free Awakeners who came with Tyrone this time.
None of the four of them were in good condition at the moment.
Wang Qiwen's left arm was bent at an odd angle, indicating it was broken. His face was pale, and he no longer had his previous high spirits.
The other two were covered in blood and looked pale and weak.
Tyrone appeared to be in the best condition of the four, but his face was as pale as paper, and a ferocious expression would occasionally appear on his face.
Because it was a virtual projection of space, Lu Ning could not see Tailong's state of mental pollution.
But judging from Tyrone's expression, he's probably close to the point of becoming seriously ill.
When Lu Ning saw the four people, Wang Yan and Qiu Yuelin behind him also saw them.
Upon seeing Wang Qiwen, Qiu Yuelin exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Lu Ning, it's Brother Wang! He... his hand is injured!?"
Lu Ning nodded: "Mm."
Qiu Yuelin's expression became even more complicated. She had followed Lu Ning all the way without encountering much danger, because Lu Ning had blocked all the dangers.
For Qiu Yuelin, the greatest danger was actually the pervasive high concentration of mental radiation.
It wasn't until she saw Wang Qiwen that Qiu Yuelin realized how lucky she was.
Wang Yan frowned and said, "There are more phantoms again. I guess they're trying to scare us again? Why don't we see the infected person?"
Lu Ning didn't speak, because footsteps could be heard at the end of the corridor in the illusory projection.
Then Lu Ning saw a man in a suit slowly walk out.
The man was extremely handsome, with a faint, wicked smile on his face.
At first glance, everyone knew that this guy must be either a symptom patient or a high-ranking member of Happy Paradise.
Just by looking at him, everyone present, except Lu Ning, could feel the eerie and alluring aura emanating from him.
Tailong and his three companions stopped in their tracks, while Wang Qiwen and his two companions took a step back, a look of tension appearing on their faces.
Tyrone, with a stern face, stood at the very front, blocking the way.
His icy voice rang out: "The higher-ups at Happy Paradise?"
The man smiled slightly, a wicked smile: "Hehe, you guessed right, but there's no reward."
Tyrone clenched his fist and said slowly, "It seems that not all members of Happy Paradise have sacrificed themselves."
"Ha, you mean those who were captured and brought to your headquarters? They were just sacrifices. I am the one who follows Her Highness the Holy Maiden."
Tyrone's expression turned cold, and he slowly said, "You dare to be so bold as to try to destroy our base city? Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Federation's powerful forces? We've destroyed quite a few cults under our retaliation."
