Two smoke grenades were hurled out in quick succession. Thick smoke billowed up, shrouding the entire passage like dark clouds.
Blue plasma burst through the haze from time to time like lightning.
Ye Lin hurled another incendiary grenade. Flames spread across the floor, and he sprinted through the smoke, trampling through the fire.

They might not do much, but any interference was better than none.
This Mutant's attacks were too unusual. A single hit would paralyze him. No matter how tough his body was, he could not withstand more than a few shots.
