"Old Xu, while I'm gone, you and Yinyin stay in your room. Don't go anywhere, and don't open the door for anyone, understand?"
Before leaving, Han Ning spoke to Xu Ming in a solemn tone.
He had changed into a clean set of old clothes, and there was a spare set of clothes in his backpack.
Seeing Han Ning's solemn expression, Xu Ming knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded solemnly.
"Ah."
After giving his instructions, Han Ning, along with Yu Na and Xue Bing, followed them.
Upon entering the northern entrance of the fog zone, Han Ning once again activated his Golden Eyes.
hum!
In the field of vision, the thick white fog was parted by an invisible force, and the visibility instantly increased to more than 100 meters.
He could see the monsters hidden in the mist and water clearly, and the hallucinogenic effects of the mist had no effect on him.
Guided by Lu Yunping and the others, the group made their way quickly towards the core area, stumbling along the uneven terrain.
The further in you go, the thicker the fog becomes.
The water gradually spread from the thighs to above the chest.
After going deeper for about a kilometer...
The space ahead became exceptionally open.
An irregular body of water, about 100 meters in diameter, surrounded by half-submerged shipping containers and various houses, appeared before everyone's eyes.
“This is it…” Lu Yunping stopped and pointed to a raised cement block in the middle of the water.
"Where exactly are Chairman Wu and the others? I can't see them."
The burly man in the camouflage vest didn't care about the concrete block and eagerly pressed for details.
This guy is clearly a die-hard supporter of Chairman Wu.
The other awakened ones also gathered around, looking nervously at Lu Yunping.
Sudden.
Lu Yunping's anxious and solemn expression suddenly froze.
His mouth stretched upwards in an extremely strange arc, all the way to his ears, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
"Ho ho ho..."
At the same time, his four other companions also raised their heads, revealing the same twisted and eerie smiles, staring intently at the awakened ones around them.
"What are you guys up to?" The burly man and the others felt uneasy under their gazes and instinctively took a few steps back.
The only response they received was a deafening roar as the water around them exploded!
boom! boom! boom! boom!
Spiral beetle, giant leeches with a slippery sheen, jellyfish half a person's height with illusory human faces floating on their bodies, and strange conches only the size of a head, but flying out like meteorites.
Monsters of varying sizes and shapes burst forth from the murky water.
In the direction of the berth area, deep within the thick, impenetrable fog, a strange object emitting an eerie blue, purple, and red halo drifted silently towards them.
Wherever it passed, even the billowing white mist seemed to be swallowed up, leaving behind a vacuum trail.
The terrifying sense of oppression was like a tsunami, sweeping across the entire body of water.
"Fuck, I fell into a trap!"
"They've been controlled! They've been controlled by that monstrous thing!"
The awakened ones, having come to their senses, finally realized what was happening.
The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic.
Someone attempted to attack Lu Yunping and his companions, who were standing nearby, but they were easily repelled.
Some people panicked and tried to flee backward, only to be swept around the waist by a rapidly charging vortex crab. Blood and entrails splattered out along with screams.
Chaos, bloodshed, and death permeated the entire scene.
Only Han Ning stood still, unmoved.
His gaze was fixed on the drifting tri-colored halo, golden flames flickering deep within his pupils, as if trying to see through the eerie core.
"Yu Na." He turned his head slightly. "Get behind me, and be careful."
Yu Na, who was initially very nervous due to the influence of those around her, felt a strange sense of security when she looked at Han Ning's calm profile and heard his composed and confident tone.
"Ok!"
Without hesitation, she dodged behind Han Ning, and her azure mental barrier shone brightly, enveloping the two of them and the lizard.
next moment.
Under the horrified gazes of Yu Na and the other awakened individuals who were not attacked immediately.
Han Ning made a move.
"Woo..."
A suffocating, low groan, like the awakening of an ancient beast, emanated from his body.
lol...
His old clothes were completely torn apart by his suddenly bulging, muscular body, turning into shreds of cloth.
Beneath the skin, dark golden hairs grew wildly, covering the neck, chest, and arms.
The bones emitted a sickening crackling sound, and the body expanded and grew taller at a visible speed.
Its cheekbones protrude forward, and its gleaming white fangs pierce its lips, forming a majestic tiger's snout.
On his forehead, the molten gold tiger head mark suddenly lit up, like a burning crown.
Its thick lower limbs sank into the muddy bottom of the water, and its huge claws tore through the thick fog.
A tiger's tail, covered with dark gold rings and ending with a small cluster of blazing golden flames, swayed slowly behind him.
In just two or three breaths.
A terrifying being, standing two and a half meters tall, half-human and half-tiger, covered in dark gold short fur and exuding overwhelming ferocity and immense power, replaced Han Ning's original position and stood amidst the bloody storm.
The dark golden vertical pupils swept across the chaotic battlefield, scorching and evaporating the surrounding swirling mist!
"Shuffle?"
Several vortex-armored crabs that were frantically attacking the awakened ones suddenly paused, as if they had sensed the terrifying pressure from the top of the food chain. Even the rotation of their giant drill pincers slowed down involuntarily.
The drifting tricolor ball of light paused slightly.
It seemed to sense a threat.
The ball of light flickered violently a few times, and an invisible wave swept across from afar.
Han Ning looked at the invisible fluctuations that were rapidly approaching.
With its mouth slightly open, a deep and resonant tiger roar brewed from the depths of its throat:
"Roar!!"
Chapter 57 Tricolor Coral
"Ho...ho..."
Inside a hidden container in a corner of the ship berth area.
A thin, cicada-wing-like energy membrane, resembling a soap bubble, completely isolates this small area from the outside world.
Chairman Wu leaned against the inner wall of the container, his chest heaving violently.
One of his arms hung limply at his sides, the joints twisted unnaturally.
Lin Qianqian leaned against him, her face as pale as paper. The shimmering white aura that once surrounded her had long since faded, and the shimmering white glow at her fingertips was so faint that it was almost invisible.
Around them, several men lay sprawled out, some with their chests rising and falling slightly, others already lifeless.
"Qianqian... how much longer can your energy last?" Chairman Wu shook his heavy head, trying to rouse himself.
Lin Qianqian clenched her teeth and managed to squeeze out a few words: "President... I... can't hold on any longer..."
Outside the container, a dozen distorted silhouettes were faintly visible in the thick fog.
Some beetle crabs, leeches, and human-faced jellyfish... seemed to have received a command and wandered around the vicinity repeatedly.
"Damn it... am I really going to die here...?"
Chairman Wu's body swayed violently, and the thin energy film enveloping the three of them shook violently like a soap bubble.
Just as the energy membrane was about to completely collapse, exposing them entirely to the monster's perception.
"Roar!!!"
A deafening, majestic roar, like a thunderclap, exploded from another direction in the foggy area!
The sound waves transformed into tangible shockwaves, tearing through layers of white mist and sweeping outwards in all directions.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
The monsters that had been circling and searching around the three of them, whether they were the vortex crabs, the human-faced jellyfish, or other monsters, all stopped moving at once.
"Gah?" "Jeh?!"
Facing the direction from which the tri-colored core was flashing, they surged madly toward the direction from which the tiger's roar came without hesitation.
The monster receded, and the pressure inside the container suddenly eased.
Chairman Wu's body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, the protective membrane completely disappearing.
"Cough...cough cough...I'm...I'm saved? What happened?" He gasped for breath, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, his face showing an expression of disbelief.
"This sound..."
Lin Qianqian suddenly looked up in the direction from which the tiger's roar came, and felt a strange sense of familiarity.
"No matter what... the monster has left. We must take this opportunity to leave this place and return to our base." Chairman Wu wiped his face and staggered to his feet.
