The last ray of light went out.
Chongming, or it would be more appropriate to call him Bai Ze now, has completely turned into a gray, energy-depleted shell.
The pure white mycelium all over the ground withered and turned into the same grayish-white color the moment the fungus seeds were devoured.
Even the moon in the sky was buried by thick clouds, and this place was as dark as a completely forgotten place without light.
Xie Xuan stood in the middle of the ruins, quietly looking at a mask wrapped in mycelium in his hand.
The power in her body was stronger than ever before, but she had never felt as weak as a speck of dust as she did at this moment.
It seemed like wherever she went, bad things happened to those around her.
But Xie Xuan knew very well that it was not her who was unfortunate, but the world.
There are countless snow-white hyphae surging in Xie Xuan's body, and the fungus belonging to Chongming is slowly merging with her original assimilation ability.
Xie Xuan slowly exerted force with her hands, and the mask in her hand was crushed into powder and dissipated into the air.
Xie Ji's men arrived late, with Yu Wu walking in front.
Under Chongming's careful protection, Yu Wu was not injured, but because Chongming made too much noise, if it were not in the area of the ecological organization, the people from the Ecological Bureau would have come here long ago.
Even so, Xie Ji started to negotiate as soon as he got the news, and it was not until now that he found an opportunity to send someone in to pick up Xie Xuan.
When Xie Xuan followed Yu Wu and the others out, they discovered that the radius of the ruins created by Chongming was more than one kilometer.
The withered mycelium turned most of the ecological organization industrial park into white mycelium, and even the underground and above-ground buildings were not spared.
But it also shows how much oppression the man with the sheep-horned mask standing opposite Chongming at that time gave Chongming, forcing him to use up all the energy in his body that could support him for a hundred years before he was able to destroy the other party.
It was already late at night, and there were almost no residential buildings around the ecological organization park, so Chongming's violent demolition here did not cause much sensation.
When Xie Xuan was led by Yu Wu out of the park and got into the car to leave, she still felt her body was unusually heavy.
As the energy vehicle began to move toward the Noah Technology Industrial Park on 8th Street, Yu Wu, who was sitting next to Xie Xuan, said, "I'm sorry."
Xie Xuan turned her head and said calmly, "No need to apologize. Chongming is not dead."
Yu Wu frowned and said nothing.
Xie Xuan looked out the window at the street shrouded in darkness and couldn't help asking, "If we had replaced Chongming's energy source in time, would his body have survived?"
Yu Wu is not from Noah Technology and is not familiar with these technical issues.
Answer the Bai Ze system in Xie Xuan’s car.
The same voice that had just come from Chongming's body came from the car's speakers, "Chongming's body is not scrapped. Someone will recover and repair it later."
Xie Xuan now had a physiological aversion to this voice. She didn't say anything, and Bai Ze also became quiet.
After a brief silence in the car, Yu Wu said, "By the way, Mr. Xie just said that the laboratory detected a change in Director Li's brain waves. It is currently speculated that the source of his supernatural power has disappeared. Now we have to wait and see how Director Li is doing after he wakes up."
Xie Xuan nodded, thought for a moment and asked, "What did you see on the top floor of that building?"
Yu Wu paused, as if recalling some unpleasant memories, "We saw... a lot of people."
In the huge room on the top floor, there were chairs filled like a beehive. There was a person sitting on each chair, and they all had a mask on their face whose material could not be seen.
This mask has no shape for the nose and no space for the mouth, only two small round holes where the eyes should be.
The room was made of walls on all sides, with no windows, and the only light coming from the door they had opened when they entered.
In this dim and cold room, all the masked people sat motionless in their seats, and the air was filled with a rotten smell like that of mushrooms.
After Yu Wu turned on the light on his helmet, he discovered that purple-black mycelium was wrapped around everyone's head.
The other end of these mycelium is hanging from the ceiling, like a huge fishing net that captures all these people.
Yu Wu had never seen such a strange scene, but Chongming, who was next to him, cut off all the mycelium as soon as he saw it.
This action seemed to wake up the sleeping masked men. Everyone stood up from their seats in unison and turned to look at Chongming and Yu Wu who were standing at the door.
This scene was very similar to the one they encountered outside the wall when they saw the people of the Lost Paradise, but the difference was that they were not wearing black robes, but blue and white ecological organization uniforms, and they were not extremely aggressive now.
Chongming guessed that the mycelium connected to their heads was probably the one that controlled the superpowers of the higher-ups in District 6, and the reason why the controlled people still behaved normally was probably because each person was controlled individually.
There are as many high-level officials under control as there are people here.
Chongming's guess was correct. These people just looked at them without launching any attack.
In other words, they no longer have the ability to attack. Their bodies have become so withered that only skin and bones are left. It seems like they will fall down and never get up again if they take a step.
It was not Chongming who killed them, but a man wearing a small sheep-horned mask who suddenly appeared.
Yu Wu's memories were interrupted here, because after this person appeared, he lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he was standing outside the ecological organization's campus. Chongming sent him a message on the terminal, "Contact Xie Ji."
Xie Xuan could also guess what happened next.
The masked man with goat horns was lured away by the noise made by Chongming when he was halfway to killing her. Xie Xuan guessed that Chongming must have sensed her situation and chose to fight the masked man until all his energy was exhausted. Otherwise, it would not be difficult for him to escape with Chongming's power.
But if Chongming had chosen to escape at that time, Xie Xuan would definitely not have survived.
Xie Xuan interrupted her thoughts before she continued thinking. Thinking too much would only make her steps forward heavier.
And she is now very close to the last step, she can't give up here.
Xie Xuan raised her hand and placed it on her heart. She could feel her heart beating in her chest, and this heart now also had a part of Chongming.
