Mysterious Light Orb

On the other side, Zhou Yaning and the others were still discussing the plan for the second entry into the black fog, talking about how many people to take in, what to do after entering, and considering everything.

This had nothing to do with him; he was just a hired thug, only responsible for killing monsters inside.

However... what exactly was that summoning? Was it a good thing, or a strange thing...?

Lu Chengchuan recalled the call in the fog. Now that his strength had increased, should he go and find the source of the call?

With his realm elevated to Qi Refining, his physical strength, reaction speed, and five senses had all been greatly enhanced.

The Qi circulating in his Lower Dantian had all sorts of magical effects. After circulating the Qi, his physical strength could be temporarily enhanced, and the Qi could also enhance his explosive power, endurance, and recovery ability. It could be said that there were many benefits.

He was becoming more and more like the powerful martial artists in books, his body invulnerable to swords and spears, and he had even developed internal Qi.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yaning and the others finalized the second plan. The leaders and experts went back to prepare manpower and supplies. Zhou Yaning put down her notebook and slowly walked up to Lu Chengchuan.

"The plan is to continue entering the fog tomorrow. You have no problem with that, right?"

Perhaps it was just her imagination, but Zhou Yaning suddenly felt that Lu Chengchuan had changed a lot. The injuries on his body seemed to have completely healed, which was not the recovery speed a normal person should have.

"I'm ready to go at any time." Lu Chengchuan waved his hand.

He felt better than ever right now. His realm had broken through, his strength had become stronger, and his lifespan was over nine years. He had never felt this good in years.

"I'm very curious. There are quite a few martial artists in the Investigation Bureau, but you're completely different from them."

Standing in front of Lu Chengchuan, Zhou Yaning only felt that the person in front of her was more like a monster. So far, she had not encountered a monster that could exchange a few moves with Lu Chengchuan.

This guy's strength was ridiculously high, and she still didn't know how powerful he was.

"What kind of martial arts do the martial artists in the Investigation Bureau practice?" Lu Chengchuan was also curious.

The system only gave him two martial arts techniques, and they didn't seem to be of a high level. Now, both martial arts had been raised to perfection, with no room for further improvement.

If the Investigation Bureau had many martial arts techniques...

Lu Chengchuan narrowed his eyes, thinking about those martial arts techniques.

"There are many martial arts techniques. I haven't practiced them, so I don't know much about them," Zhou Yaning said softly. She didn't know what Lu Chengchuan was thinking, but when his eyes narrowed, she felt a little uneasy.

"Does the Investigation Bureau sell martial arts techniques?"

Lu Chengchuan wanted to learn more martial arts techniques. His illness hadn't been cured yet, and he couldn't improve his realm, so he would still die in a few years.

"You want to buy martial arts techniques? Why?" Zhou Yaning asked.

Wasn't Lu Chengchuan's strength strong enough? To what extent did he want to practice before he would be satisfied?

"If you sell them, I'll buy them. Can you help me ask around, or help me find someone who sells martial arts techniques? Just consider it a favor, and I'll pay you back in the future."

With a mysterious organization like the Investigation Bureau around, Lu Chengchuan would be sorry if he didn't take advantage of them.

"Alright, I'll find some time to ask around for you after things are settled."

If someone else had said this, Zhou Yaning wouldn't have bothered at all, but Lu Chengchuan was too mysterious and his strength was ridiculously high. Given the current situation, his promise of help might come in handy.

"Then I'll thank you in advance. I'll wait for your good news." Lu Chengchuan thanked her in advance.

Zhou Yaning waved her hand with a cold face: "Let's solve the fog inside first. If that thing doesn't disappear, I won't have time to ask people for you even if I die."

"Aren't the main forces going in tomorrow? As long as the guns can kill the monsters, no matter how many there are, they won't pose a threat to us."

The first time they went in, there were too few people and too many monsters, so they were caught off guard. If they were well prepared, with enough personnel, weapons, and ammunition, they should be able to fight their way through the monsters.

"It's too strange inside, so we still need to be careful. Around afternoon, we'll go in and take a look after the main forces arrive."

The main forces were being mobilized and would arrive in the afternoon. Then, they would take their equipment and enough people to go in again.

Lu Chengchuan and the others waited in the temporary outpost. As the sun set in the west, a team of a hundred people stood in front of the shopping mall, ready to depart.

The army had selected another suicide squad. This time, they brought enough ammunition and vowed to fight their way through the monsters in the fog.

When everyone was ready, Lu Chengchuan took his equipment and followed the main forces into the fog.

Entering the fog again, it was still empty, with no corpses or monsters. Zhou Yaning and the others still wanted to find the bodies of their companions and bring them out, but now, there was nothing.

"Move forward carefully. Open fire as soon as you see a monster."

After giving the order, the main forces moved forward to investigate. Last time, they encountered monsters after walking for ten minutes. This time, they had their weapons ready from the start, and they would open fire as soon as a monster appeared.

"I see something over there."

After walking for a few minutes, Lu Chengchuan, who felt the call, walked to Zhou Yaning's side and pointed to their left.

The silent call was coming from that direction. Lu Chengchuan really wanted to go over and see what was going on, so he told a lie, saying that he saw something there.

"What is it? A monster or something?" Zhou Yaning looked in the direction he was pointing, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. She turned her head and asked, "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

"I'm sure I didn't see wrong. There was something there just now," Lu Chengchuan said affirmatively.

If someone else had said this, Zhou Yaning would have thought that their eyes were playing tricks on them, but Lu Chengchuan said this, and this guy was unusual. Maybe there really was some strange thing ahead.

"Let's go that way!"

After thinking about it, Zhou Yaning decided to go over and take a look.

They didn't know where to go after entering anyway, so since someone saw something, they would go over and find it.

The team moved forward, and Lu Chengchuan felt relieved. That call kept coming, and he really felt itchy to go over and take a look.

After walking forward for a few minutes, grotesque figures began to materialize in the black fog.

Without any warning, the roars of monsters assaulted their ears. Instantly, a horde of creatures surrounded them, followed by the sound of gunfire.

Muzzles spewed forth a torrent of bullets, and the onrushing monsters fell in droves.

Lu Chengchuan fired his weapon as he advanced, the team picking up the pace, using their terrifying firearms to tear a path through the encircling monsters.

The further they went, the denser the monsters became. All sorts of creatures, as if controlled by something, had nothing but humans in their sights.

Lu Chengchuan fought his way to the front. The source of the beckoning was ahead; he could feel it. That thing wasn't far from them. But the path ahead was swarming with monsters; they had to cut through them to reach that location.

"Stay close to the team! Don't get separated!"

Over a hundred people struggled to hold their ground within the monster encirclement. They had killed many monsters, but they had also lost many comrades.

Lu Chengchuan squeezed the trigger relentlessly, quickly reloading when he ran out of bullets. In less than two minutes, he had fired hundreds of rounds, his ammunition dwindling rapidly.

"There's a light orb ahead! There's a light orb!"

After traveling an unknown distance, Lu Chengchuan spotted a glow within the dark mist. Lu Chengchuan knew with a single glance that this Mysterious Light Orb was the thing calling out to him.
