Chapter 490 Going deep into the gray fog
Chapter 490 Deep into the gray fog
Seeing the fog spreading to Marcus Town, Xu Ling's heart was cold.
In just two days, the gray fog actually expanded for dozens of kilometers, and this speed was really shocking.
He quickly drove the fifth floor of the Nine Profound Transformation, rushed to the town, and went to the command center to see Fu Zheng and Zhu Talan.
"What's going on?"
Zhu Talan shook his head: "I don't know, the mist suddenly started to move, and it was very fast. When the reconnaissance troops discovered it, they were already very close. A total of 63 people were exposed to the gray fog and they were all isolated."
"Everyone must be asked to retreat and can't continue to stay in this place."
Xu Ling said, "The fog is too unstable now."
The most important thing is that the power of chaos is invisible and has nothing to do with the strength of the infected person. Even if someone like Zhu Talan comes into contact with it, it will have to mutate. At worst, it is just that it lasts longer.
Fu Zheng said: "The order has been conveyed, we will retreat to the pass."
Chu Xiaojun continued: "You don't have to worry too much. Li Xian and the others have developed a material synthesized using the organs of the monsters to effectively isolate the fog. If the situation continues to break down, we consider using this material to seal the pass to see if it can prevent the fog from invading eastward."
When Xu Ling heard this, he felt that this plan was relatively reliable, but it still treats the symptoms but not the root cause. If you want to completely eliminate the fog, you must find its source.
At this time, someone suddenly ran to the command center to report: "The female governor is awake!"
Xu Ling raised his eyebrows: "I'll go and have a look."
He quickly left and headed straight for the infirmary, and soon saw Frig who was already sitting by the bed.
"Take me out."
She sounded very difficult when she spoke, but she could barely get the whole thing.
Xu Ling knew that although she had recovered some of the human memory, she was still the body of an orc. Like Luo Ji, she might become a little irritable when staying in the crowd.
"Leave it to me."
He said to the two generals guarding the side, then pulled out the infusion dropper in the doctor's bad eyes and took Frig to leave Marcus Town.
The two of them came to find Luo Ji a few kilometers outside the town. She set up a tent in the forest and lived here alone to wait for Xu Ling. Now she has finally arrived.
"Do you know what's going on with this fog?" he asked as soon as he met.
On the way, Frig had already said intermittently that the grey fog originally only existed in the extreme west, and she didn't know why it spread to this place. It was just speculated that it had something to do with two governors who did not show up, but she had no idea why.
After hearing the question, Loji looked confused: "I don't know."
"Have you ever been in?" Xu Ling asked.
"No, didn't you tell me to wait in place and stop running around?"
"You are so obedient."
"hey-hey."
"Hehe, what a bullshit..."
Xu Ling said, "I'm going to go into the fog now."
"Then let's go. We don't have anything to prepare, right?" Loki looked over with a smile.
Frig's expression was a little stiff. After all, before he and she were dying to retrieve his memories, they were deceived by Loki, a "bad-brained" guy.
Xu Ling had no time to wait any longer at this time, so he took the two of them and walked westward, and soon arrived in front of the fog wall.
"It turns out to be like this."
As soon as he saw the thick gray weapon, Frig felt a difference, "This is much more manic than the fog in the extreme west, it is Thor and Telgan."
Xu Ling asked curiously, "Didn't you say you weren't sure just now?"
"I'm not sure now, but they told me when they were in the West Corridor that they were doing something important and said not to bother."
Loji gloated and said, "It seems that those two guys don't treat us as their own people at all."
Frig's face was not very good-looking. After all, it was not long before she retrieved human memories, and her identity was still in a very contradictory state.
However, Xu Ling also felt at this time that if the two governors had not appeared, it was to create such violent grey mist, then the governors, orcs, and monsters who had died before were all cannon fodder, just to delay time.
But judging from the results, the plan was very successful. After the Expeditionary Force destroyed the Orc Legion in Marcus Town, the gray fog had become what it is today, and it seemed difficult to stop it.
"Let's go, no matter what, we have to go in to find the truth."
Xu Ling said, "How is your physical condition?"
Frig said: "If you are leading the way, there is no problem. You can ignore me when fighting."
Now her tone of speaking is a kind of calmness as if she is unlost in life. It is difficult for anyone who has not experienced life and death to have such emotions.
Xu Ling had no time to do humanitarian care at this time. Finding the truth about gray fog was the most important thing, so he asked the two to prepare on the spot, and then returned to Marcus Town to explain to Zhu Talan that he was about to set off immediately.
He deliberately did not find all his companions to say goodbye, because no one knew what he would encounter after entering the gray fog, and he didn't know if he could come back again after going there.
After packing a backpack and bringing all the equipment, Xu Ling turned around and forgot about the busy town of Marcus, and then turned around and left alone, but suddenly heard a neat footsteps behind him.
He turned around and saw Liu Tao leading the investigation team to run towards him.
"salute!"
"I wish you a triumphant victory as soon as possible!"
Xu Ling smiled and replied with a greeting, then waved to his familiar comrades, then turned around and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Let's go and set off."
After merging with Frig and Loji, Xu Ling took the lead in walking into the fog. He had SAN protection, and the other two were orcs, so he would not be affected by adverse effects.
Gradually, he summarized his experience. When he was in the fog, his SAN value would gradually decrease, and the frequency would decrease by about 1 point in about an hour. It was not very accurate, but it was not much different.
In this way, he felt relieved. He had a reserve of 4,000, so it would be fine if he stayed here for several months.
As he walked along the way, Frig didn't say anything, but Logi was chattering more active.
"Why can't other humans touch this fog, but you can?"
"I feel that the murderous intention towards you is much smaller now, and you can basically ignore it. What are you doing?"
"Are you human?"
Xu Ling walked in front with the Sword of Bode, answering the questions perfunctorily. He was not feeling impatient, but mainly because he focused on looking at the environment.
In the fog, everything around him could not be seen clearly. In order to avoid sneak attacks, he had to concentrate.
Fortunately, the distribution of the fog is very uniform, and the concentration is not much different at the edges or deep, at least within a few meters around the body.
In the fog, all living plants and trees withered, but the objects left behind by the old world, metal bricks and stones, have decayed to the naked eye.
At first, Xu Ling felt terrified every step, but after walking for more than a day, he gradually got used to it.
"Stop and eat something to replenish your energy."
Walking to the ruins of a human settlement, Xu Ling stopped the team and took out the sealed compressed biscuits from his backpack. He was about to send them to his mouth, but found that the thing was deteriorated.
"It seems we have to find something else to eat." Loki still had the tone of not caring about anything.
"It seems that something to eat is coming." Frig, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
