What's going on with Professor Bai? Why is there that strange black mist around him?

He was chosen by Xiao Gui as a stand-in? No! He had seen stand-ins before, and they didn't look like this.

Could it be that Professor Bai is already dead? Or has some strange entity transformed into Professor Bai's appearance? But He Hu and his special forces team don't have any strange aura on them.

Moreover, judging from Professor Bai's appearance, it doesn't seem like it; he looks exactly the same as before.

Or has Professor Bai already become a monster? Has he been deceiving them from the very beginning?

Zhang Mu felt increasingly terrified as he thought about it. He couldn't be wrong with his white eyes; the black mist on Professor Bai's body could only be found in the supernatural.

Moreover, judging from the scale of the black mist, the one on Professor Bai's body is much more powerful than the one on the Water Ghost back then!

"Zhang Mu, what's wrong? You look so pale."

Tian Liqing, who was standing nearby, asked with concern. Zhang Mu suddenly woke up and lowered his head, not daring to look at Bai Jing again.

"It's nothing, my eyes are just a little sore, I'll be fine after a rest."

Li Yong didn't notice the change in Zhang Mu's expression. Seeing that Bai Jing and the others were safe and sound, he warmly went to greet them.

"Professor Bai, you worried me to death! What was that explosion just now?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the little cutie in the lab is a bit disobedient, so I taught it some rules."

After Professor Bai finished speaking, he nodded to He Hu and the special forces team behind him. Soon, He Hu led his men and placed various new equipment in front of Li Yong and the others.

"Old Li, these are some firearms we got from the base. Here, have a few with you."

Li Yong's face lit up with joy upon seeing this.

Bullets, grenades, individual rocket launchers, five or six robotic dogs, and a dozen reconnaissance drones.

"Great stuff! Our equipment was almost used up."

Although firearms cannot break through the eerie black membrane and cannot cause real damage, they can at least temporarily stall the eerie creature, since it takes some time for it to recover.

After a while.

Li Yong said, "Professor Bai, everything is packed, and we can leave at any time."

Bai Jing nodded, just as everyone was preparing to leave.

Sudden.

A wooden door suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, and no one noticed when it appeared; it seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

"When did a wooden door appear on this road?"

All the survivors stared in terror at the wooden door behind them, retreating hastily until they all hid behind the special forces team.

Li Yong and He Hu were also startled when they saw this.

In an instant, hundreds of gun barrels and more than a dozen individual rocket launchers were aimed at the strange wooden door on the highway.

"When we came here before, there was nothing on this road. When did this gate appear?"

"Zhang Mu, use your eyes to see if there's anything strange around you."

Zhang Mu looked at the wooden door that suddenly appeared in front of him and instantly activated his White Eyes. He looked carefully and found that there were no small ghosts around the wooden door.

"No, there's nothing strange around the door!"

Looking back at the surrounding ranks of survivors, there were none.

But when he looked at Bai Jing not far away, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly looked away again.

The black mist around Professor Bai has actually disappeared!

It was there just now, how come it's gone now?

This discovery did not dispel Zhang Mu's suspicions; on the contrary, it made him even more uneasy. It meant that Professor Bai had always had black mist around him, and he had just been hiding it before!

Upon closer inspection, Bai Jing seemed to notice his unusual behavior, looking at him with a fake smile, as if she had already guessed that he had been discovered.

"Zhang Mu, why are you suddenly silent? Is something strange happening in the team?" Li Yong asked anxiously, holding up his gun.

Zhang Mu lowered his head, his whole body stiff, not daring to look Bai Jing in the eye, and finally could only bite the bullet and answer.

"No, there's nothing in the survivor group!"

Li Yong and the others frowned.

"If there's nothing strange around, then what's with this suddenly appearing wooden door?"

Just as everyone was wondering, the wooden door slowly opened outwards, making a creaking sound.

All I saw was...

Two figures emerged from behind the door, a man and a woman, with cold eyes and an extremely powerful aura emanating from them.

When Bai Jing saw the two people who suddenly appeared from behind the door, his eyes lit up, and his usually fake smile seemed to show some surprise.

It's a person! I thought it was another cute little creature!

"Is this another newly appeared city? I didn't expect two A-level sequences to appear at once. It seems quite a few people have died in this city."

After Gu Yu and Li Xia stepped out of the Anywhere Door, they looked at Li Yong and the others with cold eyes and an arrogant demeanor.

They ignored Li Yong and his men, and even disregarded the guns and cannons aimed at them, as if these things posed no threat to them.

Gu Yu took out a bronze compass from his bosom, placed it in his palm, and pointed it at all the survivors.

The compass spun rapidly, then suddenly stopped, its pointer transforming into a snake's head, pointing towards Bai Jing's location, and then speaking in human language.

"Found him! Found him! It's him! It's him!"

Ignoring everyone else, the two walked up to Bai Jing, nodded in satisfaction, and noticeably toned down their arrogant attitude.

"Hello, my name is Gu Yu, and this is Li Xia. We are both human, second-tier awakened beings. May I ask how you are addressed?"

"Bai Jing, Director of Mysterious Biology at the National Academy of Sciences, you can call me Professor Bai."

The two were somewhat surprised to hear Bai Jing's identity, but it was also within their expectations.

The true strongmen in the real world are never simple figures.

"The two of us came here specifically to find you, hoping you will join our Salvation Society."

Gu Yu quickly explained his purpose and even warmly invited Bai Jing.

"We both come from City of Hope No. 7: New Capital..."

"...The master of the new capital is Lord Chen, an S-rank powerhouse... He has cleared away all the strange phenomena around the new capital and is building humanity's seventh city of hope... It is humanity's last safe zone... In order to protect the new capital, we need to invite more powerful individuals to work together..."

Gu Yu continued.

"...The compass indicates that your Sequence Awakening level is at least A-rank...that's why we've come specifically to invite you to join the Salvation Society..."

"...As long as you choose to join, you can directly return to the new capital through this portal...There are already millions of people gathered there, as well as a large number of sequence-level experts, so it's very safe..."

Gu Yu spoke at length, and the survivors around him were overjoyed to hear his words.

"Human powerhouses have actually established a new city in this bizarre world! That's wonderful! That's wonderful! We're saved!"

"I knew it! With awakened superhumans around, how could we possibly be helpless against those weirdos? We've finally found our organization!"

"I was wondering before that the death rate in this world was too high, and ordinary people simply couldn't survive. It turns out that there are cities built by superhumans."

"A million people, and an S-rank powerhouse in charge, there are actually so many people in this world."

All the survivors were excitedly discussing it, and some had already begun to fantasize about leaving this damned highway and returning to civilized society.

No more living in fear!
