NOVEL NEXT Chapter 436: A Blessing In Disguise
While the members were having a brief conversation, the metal barrier became covered with a thick layer of mutant goo.
Raising his head, Wen Mo said, "Captain, we are trapped here. Even if the barrier can last for several days, we will run out of oxygen soon."
Jin Xuyan thought for a moment and turned to Mo Junjie as he asked, "Mo Junjie, can you take care of all of the black goo?"
When he heard this, Mo Junjie let out several soft coughs before he replied, "I'm not sure, but I will try my best."
Nodding at his words, Jin Xuyan looked at Feng Yun and said, "Feng Yun, use your spatial area and block the tunnel's wall."
As soon as he heard this, Feng Yun understood his Captain's intention. He nodded at him and replied, "Understood."
Wen Mo turned to the two of them and said, "I will release the barrier after I count to three."
"Okay," Mo Junjie and Feng Yun replied in unison.
A moment later, Wen Mo waved his hand, and the metal barrier turned into a tight net, pushing the goo back.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
At the same time, Li Sikai flicked his wrist, and countless lightning bolts flew toward the metal net. The moment the lightning bolts hit the net, they zapped the gooey and stunned it for a moment.
Seizing the opportunity, Feng Yun created a spatial barrier around the members to block the gooey from approaching. Unlike the metal barrier, a breeze of wind was still able to flow through his spatial barrier.
With flawless cooperation, Mo Junjie flicked his fingers, and black mist shot toward the black goo at high speed. As they cooperated, the black goo soon turned into vapor and disappeared completely.
When everything was finally over, Wen Kai turned to Qin Luzi and asked, "Old Qin, can you detect this kind of mutant?"
Qin Luzi frowned deeply before he replied, "Before it attacks us, I can't detect anything. Only after it moves can I detect it with my map."
After they heard this, everyone exchanged solemn gazes. It seemed that this place was more dangerous than they had expected.
Recalling the situation in the compound, a thought suddenly flashed in Feng Yun's mind.
Although he didn't want to believe his own guess, he still said, "Captain, is it possible that the reason why there are no zombies or survivors in this place is because of this black gooey?"
The moment they heard this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Compared to the zombies, facing this kind of creature was much harder. Not only were they hard to detect, but they were also highly corrosive and dangerous.
"The possibility is very high. But now that we are here, we have to continue. If we don't get rid of this danger, it will cause more casualties in the future," Jin Xuyan said.
"Before we continue, we should treat the wounds first," Gao Bohai said.
Without Jiang Lixin, only Yin Yusheng had a healing ability in their team. Hearing this, he quickly summoned his little sunflower.
Feeling its master's intention, the little sunflower appeared at his fingertips and swayed lightly. Tapping its leaf softly, Yin Yusheng asked, "Kuikui, can you help heal my friends' wounds?"
After he said this, the little sunflower flapped its leaves before it detached itself from his finger. As soon as it landed on the ground, it suddenly grew at a rapid speed. In just ten seconds, the small sunflower had grown into a one-meter-tall sunflower.
Staring at the sunflower, Yin Yusheng said in surprise, "Kuikui, you can do this too?"
The sunflower nodded, and the next moment, countless soft lights shot out from its big head. The lights fluttered in the air, looking similar to dandelion seeds.
When the lights landed on the members' wounds, they seeped into their bodies, and soon after, the wounds recovered at a speed clear to the naked eye.
While Kuikui healed everyone, Yin Yusheng felt the energy in his body draining at a fast rate. Before he could react, he had already lost half of his energy and felt dizzy.
Noticing his pale face, Jiao Lizhi quickly handed him a handful of wood-type crystal cores and said, "Brother Yin, quickly absorb the energy."
Holding onto the crystal cores, Yin Yusheng sat on the ground and started absorbing the energy. At the same time, Kuikui became more energetic and started to dance while shooting healing light.
Ten minutes later, everyone was finally fully recovered. When they turned their heads, they saw Mo Junjie covered with the lights from head to toe. Compared to others, Kuikui was focused on spitting on him. Even his hair was not spared.
Staring at him, Yin Yusheng felt guilty and said, "Brother Mo, I didn't mean to. Are you alright?"
Mo Junjie stood there unmoving as he felt the warm energy entering his body. The pain caused by his collapsed internal organs had disappeared. Closing his eyes, he used his energy to check his condition and found that the light was healing his body.
Compared to Jiao Lizhi's water, this sunflower was the one that could actually fully heal him. This was a blessing in disguise!
Kuikui continued spitting light on him for another ten minutes before returning to its small size and entering Yin Yusheng's body. After spending so much energy, the little sunflower was tired and went to sleep.
Opening his eyes, Mo Junjie smiled and said, "Brother Yin, thank you for healing my wounds."
"It's a small matter," Yin Yusheng replied casually.
Everyone thought he was just being polite, but in fact, he was thanking him for freeing him from the pain. Without the constant pain, his face regained some color and he no longer looked so weak.
"Alright, let's continue," Jin Xuyan said after everyone had rested for a moment.
While the Phantom Team members explored the underground mine, in the dark alley of the Yunshan City Base, Rong Qinyu stood in front of a man.
The man covered his bleeding stomach and glared at him with bloodshot eyes as he asked, "Rong Qinyu, why did you do this?"
