Peng Hai jumped up and repeatedly groped his whole body in disbelief. Is he okay? Is everything okay

If I touch my eyes again, they are still intact!

When Peng Hai was so excited that he kept screaming, Xiao Mo was already moving forward again.

Peng Hai was excited for a while. When he wanted to express his gratitude to the strange person, he found that the person was no longer there. He turned around and saw that there was only a shadow of the other person, and he was about to disappear into the thick fog.

Peng Hai didn't dare to catch up, because he knew how scary the thick fog was. Even if you didn't look, you could still see some figures. He had chased people like this before, but he would soon be lost in the fog.

So he could only yell at the top of his lungs: "Benefactor! Be careful! Many people inside are being controlled!"

Peng Hai didn't know if the man heard it, because he called him many times.

After that, Peng Hai saw that the surroundings had become silent again, his body trembled, and he did not dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly groped for the rope and walked out.

There is a vine looking at the ropes and reflective signs arranged by its father, and no creature dares to destroy them. The vine was just curious and amused, but it didn't know how many people it had saved with its unintentional move.

Peng Hai was the first person to touch the rope and walk out. When he went out, he was immediately surrounded by many soldiers and mercenaries.

Li Wei lined up everyone and said that he wanted to check his body. People from the Zhongshan Base Research Institute and Bao Yiyong were all vying to check Peng Hai.

Peng Hai was from Zhongshan Base and was rescued by people from Zhongshan Base. He didn't know Xiao Mo, but he vaguely remembered that face and remembered that he was also a mercenary from Zhongshan Base. For this reason, he was only willing to be inspected by people from the Zhongshan Base Research Institute.

Peng Hai already felt that he was very lucky to be able to meet a high-level healer when he was about to die. He felt that it would be great if his body could recover, and he was already prepared that his supernatural powers would be affected.

But!

The inspection results told him that his abilities had changed, but they were not downgraded or unstable, but upgraded!

How can this be? !

When the people brought by Bao Yiyong heard the news, they wanted to study Peng Hai even more. This was the first lucky person who came out of the thick fog and got benefits.

Qian Yunkai asked people to stop Bao Yiyong's people outside and asked Peng Hai in detail about his passing.

Peng Hai was conflicted in his heart. He knew very well that 90% of his superpower upgrades were given by his benefactor. This was a big deal. Should he say it or not

Apart from that, he couldn't explain why he was able to get out of his supernatural powers safely and get upgraded. He was also afraid that the research institute would draw blood for research all day long, and he was even more afraid of being secretly taken away by people from the capital research institute.

But having said that, he was afraid of doing harm to his benefactor.

While Peng Hai was struggling, a group of nearly twenty survivors came out of the thick fog.

The nearly twenty survivors were all soldiers. After they came out, they brought a lot of crucial news, including Xiao Mo's rescue.

Qiu Feng had also arrived at this time. As the top leader of Zhongshan Base, he didn't have to come, but he came anyway.

Qian Yunkai accepted the order and came to report about Peng Hai, and found that the lieutenant general's eyes were full of fatigue, and there was also a hidden deep worry.

Qiu Feng opened a pack of cigarettes, took out one, took two deep puffs, and then said: "How many people are coming out? Show me the list, and ask the other soldiers who came out to come over and report to me. I need to know the first hand information."

"Yes!" Wu Jin went out to call someone.

Qiu Feng looked down at the list Wu Jin gave him. After reading it, he slowly put it aside.

Qian Yun was excited and blurted out: "Is Qiu Xin also participating in this mission?"

Qiu Feng smiled bitterly when he heard his son's name, "Yes, that boy has always wanted to join your mercenary team, but I wouldn't let him. So he ran to join the army, saying that he wanted to lead the way. I can't stop him for this reason. Other people's sons can join the army to protect themselves. How can my son hide behind the base, defend our homeland and the people?"

"Why don't you tell our captain?" At least you can take care of it. Xiao Mo and Qiu Feng knew the reason why Qiu Xin could not join their mercenary team. The son of the base boss joins a mercenary team, no matter what, the meaning is different.

Qiu Feng understood what he meant and shook his head, "That boy is just an ordinary soldier. To take care of him, do we also need to take care of other soldiers? Who is more noble than whom? Our base is stable because we don't have an overly privileged class. Everyone is doing what they’re supposed to do.”

Qian Yunkai knew that Qiu Feng was telling the truth, not nice words. This person not only has a very good view of the overall situation, but also has the people in his heart. He does not really regard himself as a public servant, but he is indeed a person who can do practical things. It can be said that without Qiu Feng, Zhongshan Base would never be what it is now.

"Peng Hai's change should be related to the person who saved him, but he refused to say who it was." Qian Yunkai got down to business.

How keen is Qiu Feng? He heard it right away, "Do you suspect that the person who saved Peng Hai is Xiao Mo?"

Qian Yunkai was silent. The reason why Peng Hai refused to reveal his benefactor's appearance and name was probably not just because he didn't know or remember him, but also because he was somewhat protective. Qian Yunkai also understood that although a healer was precious, if the healer could not only prevent the bodies of those who entered the thick fog from exploding, but also help them advance, then the meaning of preciousness would be completely different.

If word of this spreads, even if Qiu Feng guarantees, Xiao Mo may not be able to be saved. When the time comes, the capital will definitely ask for Xiao Mo to go to Beijing.

Qiu Feng saw Qian Yunkai's silence and did not continue to ask. He only finished one cigarette and then another. He usually would not smoke so many cigarettes, but now he needed cigarettes to calm his heart. Now not only is his love trapping Lei Bing in the thick fog, but his son and three thousand outstanding soldiers are also inside. He usually feels bad for losing one of them, let alone this time he fell into so many at once!

When people came from the capital, he didn't want to spare so many people at all, but he had to agree. His every move is not only watched by people in the capital, but also by people in other bases.

He has devoted his life to serving the country and the people, and when he really doesn't want to be faced with a national crisis, some people will use the excuse that it was Qiu Feng at the Zhongshan base who rebelled against the capital first and refused to obey the order, and then other bases began to gradually break away from the jurisdiction of the capital.

He doesn't want the country to continue to be in chaos. The more catastrophic this kind of disaster is, the less likely it is that the country will be in chaos. If there is chaos, some people may benefit from it, but the real victims are hundreds of millions of people in the world.

This is something that history has proven repeatedly, and he, Qiu Feng, does not want to repeat the same mistake. He also has ambitions, and he also has desires, but his heart is probably not ruthless enough or hard enough to achieve the point where one general's achievements will lead to thousands of bones drying up.

"Report to the chief!" Wu Jin brought the second group of soldiers who had escaped.

Qian Yunkai was about to leave, but Qiu Feng signaled that he didn't need to leave.

The soldiers who came in were in good spirits. After saluting Qiu Feng, they began to report.

The soldier reported four main things.

First, this group of people was rescued, and the person who rescued them was Xiao Mo, the captain of the scavenging team. Several of them had reached the edge of explosion and were forcibly rescued by Xiao Mo.

Second, Bao Yiyong and the others seemed not to be afraid of the thick fog. They were consciously collecting the flesh and blood of the bombers.

Third, the flesh and blood of the bombers is very important. Bao Yiyong wants it, and so do those non-human creatures.

Fourth, tiny purple light spots in the thick purple mist can control people, turning them into monsters without thoughts of their own, and then hunt down other people.

Qiu Feng asked them about the dispersion of their personnel. The soldier said he did not know, but he made it clear: "When we gathered here, more than a thousand people got on the truck. As far as I know, some people escaped to the temporary command center, which is the small At the Qingshan Gymnasium. At first we stayed where we were and didn't dare to move, but soon those tiny purple light spots appeared and controlled some people to chase and kill others, and everyone ran and dispersed."

Qiu Feng asked some more questions, but when he couldn't get any more answers, he asked Qian Yunkai to take these soldiers for a preliminary physical examination.

Now the base already has a special ability detection instrument. It is not particularly accurate, but it can roughly detect the type of superpower and the amount of energy it contains.

There is also a researcher in the Zhongshan Base Research Institute who has awakened the ability to sense. As long as he shakes hands with the person with the ability, he can basically detect what kind of ability the other person has and what level it is.

With the combination of the two, there is almost no secret to the changes in a warrior's body.

The results of the examination were also astonishing. Among the nearly twenty warriors, there were nineteen in total. All of them had stable body cells and no physical discomfort. What was even more frightening was that four of the superpowers had their superpowers advanced, and the others Human body energy is just at a saturation point.

After hearing the inspection results, Qiu Feng stood up and issued an order on the spot: "This matter must not be leaked under any circumstances!"

His order was not only to protect Xiao Mo, but Qiu Feng also had selfish motives. His selfish motive was to make Zhongshan Base develop better.

But with such an important matter and so many people benefiting from it, Qiu Feng wasn't sure how long they could hide it, but they could hide it for a while.

At this time, Qiu Feng and the people at the Zhongshan Base prayed unkindly in their hearts, begging Xiao Mo not to save the people at the Capital Base so that his magic could be hidden for a while longer.

Unfortunately, Xiao Mo couldn't even tell the difference between humans and non-humans, let alone trying to distinguish who came from which base.

Compared with human superpowers who can survive for a few hours, those small non-human creatures explode and die more.

Along the way, Xiao Mo saved the lives of at least three cats, four dogs, two birds, a lizard, a gecko and several bugs. If he hadn't been thinking about people the most and had been following the vines towards the place where humans gathered, he might have been led into a community of non-living things.

Some of the little creatures saved by Xiao Mo ran away, but there were also many who followed Xiao Mo. Unfortunately, the vine was overbearing and did not allow any other creatures to approach his father, and many of them were forcibly driven away by it.

"Meow~!" You fake cat, wait! A tiger-headed kitten glanced at Xiao Mo for the last time, turned around and jumped like a shadow on the ruins, and soon disappeared into the thick fog.

"Woof!" The crazy wild dog stopped going crazy, and all the scarred wounds on his body disappeared, and his majestic appearance reappeared. The big black dog followed closely, ignoring the vines to drive him away.

There's someone in front! A lot of people. The little vine cat jumped on a large rock in front of the exposed steel bar and turned back to remind Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo stepped on the gravel and walked in slowly. The thick fog had no effect on him and his vision was very clear.

He saw a circle of tiny purple dots of light, which surrounded the people inside like a sheepfold.

Fortunately, these small light spots did not prohibit him from entering. On the contrary, they all dispersed as soon as he walked over.

This is a square with no fewer than a thousand people trapped inside.

The situation of these people is very similar to that of Lei Bing. They are divided into many small groups and are fighting against something.

However, in Lei Bing's place, people were fighting against illusions, but here, people were fighting against monsters controlled by light spots.

Xiao Mo also saw Bao Yiyong and his group. Those people formed a circle and protected Bao Yiyong in the middle.

No one noticed Xiao Mo's arrival. Xiao Mo could see them clearly, but none of them could see him.

Bao Yiyong frowned. Starting about half an hour ago, he felt something was wrong with his body. Maybe the energy in the thick fog had invaded his protective suit

Bao Yiyong, like his son, has no special powers. If the protective suit can no longer protect him, then he can no longer stay in the thick fog.

"A Ning, don't leave me." Bao Yiyong whispered to the long-haired girl beside him.

The long-haired girl turned to look at him, seeming to understand something, and nodded slightly.

A black figure ran back from the thick fog carrying a frozen collection box. It was the weird man wrapped up in his body.

When Bao Yiyong saw him, he seemed not surprised at all by the other person's ability to walk in thick fog, and just asked: "How was the harvest?"

The weirdo laughed, "It's okay. There are more and more people who can't hold on. Unfortunately, those purple light spots are too scary. I have to avoid them. There are a lot of exploded flesh and blood that can only be dragged away by those insects and rats. It's all wasted. However, we still know too little about those light spots. It seems that not all light spots will explode when entering the human body. The purple light spots can actually turn people into monsters and control them to attack other humans. ,Interesting."

"Well, just like we don't know that those light spots can be divided into countless small light spots. Brooke, it's time for us to leave." He didn't want to become one of Brooke's collections in the end.

Brooke? Xiao Mo stopped. He felt that the name sounded familiar.

The man slowly turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from. He was not far away from those people, at most twenty steps away. But the thick fog was like an invisible wall, and even though they were so close, those people didn't notice him.

Xiao Mo's eyes turned on those people's faces one by one. He was looking for the person named Brooke. He didn't know why he was so sensitive to this name. Until he saw an extremely hidden logo on those people's protective clothing.

Xiao Mo's eyes suddenly shot out a sharp light! His expression also changed, becoming full of cruelty and blood!

He remembered that this Brooke was the foreigner who went to arrest Wang Cheng and Qian Yunkai with Bao Yuezhi. Which company did Qian Yunkai say he was from

"Jino Bioengineering Corporation."

Yes, this is the company. Xiao Mo stared closely at the hidden symbols on the protective clothing. He recognized the symbol, he remembered it! This was a symbol he had occasionally seen on the computer in the underground research institute that had tortured him for so long.

Bao Yiyong, Brooke, Jino Company, Underground Research Institute...

Xiao Mo no longer looked sleepwalking, he was completely awake.

But now is not the time for him to pursue these people and inquire about the origins of that underground research institute. He has to rescue these innocent people first.

It's too troublesome to save people one by one. The fastest way is to make the dense fog disappear.

To make the thick fog disappear, you must stop the light spots from playing.

Yes, the reason why these thick fogs appear is because the light spots want to come out and play every once in a while.

The big green light spot is still inside his heart. It seems to like it very much and seems to use his heart as a nest.

Xiao Mo didn't care. There were countless parasites and microorganisms in human beings anyway. The big green light spots took root in his body. Not only would they not harm him, they would also bring benefits to him, just like those beneficial bacteria. In this case, he Why bother and expel

"Recycler Xiao Mo, pay attention, a hunter is coming!"

Um? Only then did Xiao Mo realize that the person who had just spoken to him was the system, but the system's voice

"Predator?"

"You can be understood as a game player, and you NPCs who can drop treasures are his hunting targets."

"How many?"

"two."

Xiao Mo clenched his fist.

"I suggest you go find that big bug quickly. You have a lot of treasures on you now. As long as you let the predator know, you will be constantly hunted and killed."

His Majesty the System said this reluctantly, and then said: "I am in the process of upgrading. Now I can only give you some reminders. Before the upgrade is completed, I will not be able to issue any more tasks to you, but you don't need it now." I'll help you upgrade. With that green light, you'll be no different from having an energy heart with permanent energy, or even better!"

The steady young man's voice specially tuned by the system actually contains a little bit of jealousy

"Energy heart? Permanent energy?" Xiao Mo calmed himself down. There were still a bunch of people waiting for him to save, so he couldn't turn around and leave right away.

A young soldier not far from him saw veins bulging in his body and was about to explode. He quickly stepped forward and held his wrist.

The little warrior was desperate. When his wrist was held, he no longer cared whether it was a monster or a companion. But when he saw clearly who was in front of him, the little warrior cried with joy: "Brother Xiao! Master Xiao!"

The little warrior's cry also alerted the other warriors who stood up with him.

"Qiu Xin? Why are you here?" Xiao Mo also recognized the other party, but now is not the time to reminisce about the past, the system is still talking in his head.

"Wait a minute, I'll solve your problem first, don't talk."

Qiu Xin and the other warriors held it in together, and the other warriors quickly spread out to protect Xiao Mo and Qiu Xin, preventing the monster from disturbing them.

There were other soldiers who were about to lose their support. They looked at Xiao Mo and Qiu Xin, with hope on their faces instead of the despair of waiting for death.

The system said with a scholarly tone: "I can't explain it to you in detail. In words you can understand, the earth has the law of conservation of energy. According to this law, energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only come from one form." Transform into another form, or transfer from one object to another. If the calculation of this system is correct, you will be able to borrow the energy of green elemental life in the future. No, it cannot be said to be borrowed, but the green elemental life will be you in the future. energy. I cannot estimate how much energy the elemental life itself has, because these elemental lives are all connected, the energy between them can be exchanged, and their energy comes from the universe. You understand what I mean ?"

Xiao Mo calmed down for a second and said, "You mean I can borrow the energy of the entire universe?"

System: "... This is just an ideal value. It does not mean that if the elemental life is rooted in your body, you will really have the energy of the entire universe. But with the recognition of the elemental life, you are equivalent to seeing a door, and you can even borrow from it. There is a little bit of energy coming out of the crack in the door, but whether you can push the door open and walk towards the true ideal road depends on your luck, talent and hard work."

"Then how can I borrow that energy and truly transform it into my own?"

"Evolve your cells and solidify your soul. The method is to keep using your powers. The principle is just like burning gasoline to start a vehicle. Energy must be used continuously to complete the process of continuous conversion. It's just that the machine has been used for a long time. Will break down because they cannot use conversion energy to strengthen their own cells, while biological cells have the ability to use energy to continuously repair and evolve themselves. This is also the biggest difference between living things and non-living things." The systematic and steady boy Yin became a little bit more Bitter.

Xiao Mo, "I think that upgrading superpowers requires some special cultivation methods, such as sitting meditation, luck, yoga, etc."

System, "Whether yoga, luck or zazen, it is a way of constantly using energy to change the body and even the soul. If it is more one-sided, yoga and martial arts are equivalent to acting on human cells, and qigong , magnetic field training, etc. act on the power of the magnetic field of a person, while sitting meditation and asking the mind make the soul wave more condensed. The stronger the training of these three, the more energy the person can borrow or use, and he You can also do more things that are incredible in the eyes of others.

And if you want to use your abilities well, the training of these three is indispensable. They are the basis for how much energy you borrow. The use of different abilities is also a form of exercise, and they complement each other.

The exercise method I give you also starts from these three aspects. In the future, you can use it according to your abilities, summarize and create an exercise method that is more suitable for you. After all, all exercise methods are created by intelligent creatures after they reach a certain height, and you can do the same. Predators are coming, watch out for them! Remember, never let him know that you are pregnant. "

The little vine cat suddenly jumped off his shoulder! A silent threat was issued into the depths of the thick purple fog.

"Guji." There seemed to be some strange cry.

At this time, Xue Lihong's right hand was scorched black, and she was running quickly among the ruins with blood stains on her body.

Behind him, a group of mutated people were chasing him. They were all humans controlled by purple light spots.

Whenever these human beings are entered by purple light points, they undergo great changes in an instant. Their bodies swell, their muscles become tangled, and their skin turns purple-black, making them look like giants.

And those small purple light spots are hidden in the muscle layer of the backs of these monsters, controlling these mutants like horses.

After Xue Lihong swept away all the hatred value of the purple light spots, he decisively separated from Lei Bing. He took a group of small purple light spots and fled to other places, while Lei Bing took this opportunity to gather other survivors and led them Escape to the outside.

The purple light point had entered his body and was trapped in the energy nest. This is a very bold move, but also a very helpless move.

Now the small purple light dot was rebelling in his energy nest, and he had to run while desperately absorbing the energy of the small light dot.

Boss, where are you? I urgently need your help! Xue Lihong suddenly shouted in amusement: "Wife! Where are you -?"
