Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

The commotion that Xiong Yu and the others made inside the car was quite significant.

The sound of Ahua taking that punch was loud enough for everyone in Squad Five to hear clearly.

Qin Wu quickly realized that the calamity had infiltrated their ranks.

"Of all times... no, this calamity must have been premeditated!"

The fact that they were able to lie low for so long, only making their move after the main force had dispersed, clearly shows that they had a clear understanding of their own strength.

It can't defeat too many people, but three small teams... it doesn't take them seriously!

He knew that if he didn't do something, those people would be swept away by the successive tides of mist and lost in them.

Xiong Yu's team members are mostly young, and their strength is basically only at the first level.

Even with some combat experience, getting lost means certain death!

But if we send people to rescue them now, there won't be enough time, and it will only increase the number of casualties.

For Qin Wu, the primary task was not to rescue people, but to protect his team members, especially Jiang Mian, so...

He exchanged a glance with Li Huan beside him, who nodded heavily in support.

So Qin Wu restarted the off-road vehicle and enhanced his own abilities.

Gu An opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

Su Wanning gently patted his arm; although she didn't say anything, her meaning was clear.

They quickly reached an agreement, but the atmosphere inside the car fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Mian wasn't stupid; she understood the meaning behind everyone's silence.

She didn't say anything, but looked at the car not far away.

Ah Hua had already slowly gotten out of the car, staring straight at her, and then suddenly lunged towards the off-road vehicle where Team Five was located.

Although it follows the Nightmare path, its melee capabilities are greatly enhanced after replicating the enhanced abilities of Cyborg.

Although Squad 5 was led by Qin Wu, who was at the third rank, he was still a Knight, and his close combat skills were only average.

"Everyone, please sit down!"

The aura of calamity was clearly at the third level. Without knowing its specific abilities, it would be best to keep your distance as a precaution.

Qin Wu stepped on the gas.

Jiang Mian felt a powerful push against his back, and the car shot forward dozens of meters in an instant.

Such acceleration... was absolutely impossible given the car's original performance!

Ahua missed his target and, watching the departing SUV, murmured:

"Escape? Do you think you can escape...?"

Due to limitations in his abilities, Qin Wu's [Knight] can only unleash its full power when it is running.

But time waits for no one. Just a few seconds passed, and before he could get too far away, the misty tide surged in.

It roared silently as it surged into the dim, misty passage.

The vehicle was violently jolted by the direct impact of the fog, almost overturning, but it quickly stabilized again thanks to Qin Wu's abilities.

Jiang Mian glanced outside quietly. Due to the fog and tide, the visibility, which was originally about 100 meters, had now shrunk to 50 or 60 meters.

These fogs are even moving and very unstable, and visibility continues to decrease.

Number Four and Number Eight are already nearby, but they are discussing how to make their move.

The first wave of impact was not only physical; for ordinary awakened individuals, it also affected their mental state.

Logically speaking, even she would be affected to some extent, since on a spiritual level, she is still human.

But the bracelet also seemed to have a protective effect against mental shocks, blocking them all when they came from the depths of the mist.

However, all of Jiang Mian's teammates looked distressed, and if he didn't do something, he would appear exceptionally strange.

She glanced at Su Wanning secretly, then closed her eyes as everyone else, covered her forehead, and showed the same pained expression as them.

After a while, everyone gradually came to their senses.

Because Gu An had just used his ability to envelop the inside of the car, the impact on everyone else wasn't too great; it was actually him who was most severely affected.

"Ugh~ No matter how many times I experience this, it's still so painful..."

Gu An gasped. The last time he encountered the misty tide was several years ago, and its scale was much larger than this time...

Qin Wu, being the highest-ranking and the first to recover, spoke in a loud voice:

"Everyone, be alert, disaster... is coming."

Upon hearing this, Su Wanning leaned forward slightly, placed her hand on Qin Wu's shoulder, and silently activated her ability.

Although her abilities are at a lower level and have a less effective effect, unlike higher-level abilities which can directly heal wounds, they can only promote wound healing, but they can still accelerate the recovery speed of her teammates.

Li Huan reached to the side and pulled out... a rifle?

His [Trapped] skill can enhance weapons, but it is ineffective against firearms, or rather, bullets.

If we use a bow and arrow as a ranged weapon, we can't use it effectively inside the vehicle, and the attack speed is too slow, so this is the only option for now.

Jiang Mian then took a box out from the base.

Because the "cannon" is so large, it is disassembled into its various parts for storage and needs to be reassembled before use.

However, her mind wasn't on that...

Calamity...so many calamities...

She pursed her lips, banishing all distracting thoughts.

No, this time we should focus on those three high-quality goals.

If you haven't filled your stomach, any remaining space should be prioritized for third-tier targets.

Before reaching the third tier, one could still "offset" the cost with lower-tier calamities.

But now, the benefits they bring to themselves have decreased significantly, barely enough to fill a gap in their teeth.

After assembling the 'cannon', she raised the gun towards the faintly visible torrent of calamity in the distance, but her senses remained locked on those three targets.

……

Not far away, Number Four was holding something that looked like a monocular telescope and looking at the off-road vehicle of Squad Five.

The lenses of this device are made using a special technique to create crystalline light, which improves visibility in fog.

However, the increase is limited in the foggy tide environment.

If it were a calamity with a speed-specialized nature and a high level, it could probably get close to the observer the instant it was seen.

"Hey~ That's strange, the Mist Tide hasn't even arrived yet, and the Calamity has already infiltrated?"

Number Four scratched his head, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Calamity? What does it look like? Can it be used to determine any sequence?"

Number Eight quickly pressed for more information.

High-level sequences like the Target are the most favored by Calamity.

Those calamities who can blend into the crowd are not low in intelligence or level, and they can't think of any other reason besides wanting to take the opportunity to have a feast.

If something happens to the target, their mission will have failed.

"Um...does it look like a person?"

Number Four was at a loss for words, so he simply gave the telescope to Number Eight.

Number Eight quickly raised his hand and stared in the direction of the convoy.

Another squad remained where they were, clearly still recovering from the shock of the fog attack.

Shen Qiuyu stared intently at the figure not far away.

No wonder she felt a faint gaze watching her from the moment she set off.

She had heard her father mention before that there was a rather slippery calamity in the city, but she never expected that it would infiltrate the city's defense forces.

But... don't calamities usually target those with high "nutrition"?

Logically speaking, they should have come after him first, so why did they target Jiang Mian?

Before she could think any further, Ahua chased after the direction that Team Five had left in.

The reason was simple: that same fragrance had returned, driving it almost to madness.

Its instincts told it that eating her would definitely allow it to advance in rank!

This opportunity is rare...

It didn't delve into why Jiangmian was so attractive; instinct had completely overcome its ability to think.

Number Eight put down his binoculars, his expression grave.

He could make a preliminary judgment that the other party was a calamity of the [Nightmare] path. The similarity to a human was so high that the sequence was guaranteed to be in the top 100.

"Eighth Brother, what's wrong?"

Number Four looked at Number Eight with a somewhat confused expression.

Number Eight, with a serious expression, activated his ability and disappeared into the shadows, leaving only his voice echoing in the air.

"Let's go to where we set up the traps earlier. We can get ready to make our move. Also, don't call me Eighth Brother!"
