169 Why Do You Look So Excited At Night?
After leaving the temporary camp, Zhou Wenjie looked at the sparse mercenaries in front of him and sped up slightly.
As a level five speed-type mutant, his limit speed could even be seen as “instantaneous movement”.
However, it could not go against general physics and directly pass through objects.
It was still fundamentally different from the spatial element.
With the help of the hazy night, those mercenaries only saw a blurry black shadow flash past and could no longer see the figure of the person just now.
Seeing that someone wanted to beat them to it, the other mercenaries no longer held back and began to show their abilities.
In any case, they did not want to fall behind.
They, who had been in the wild all year round, knew very well.
There were only so many good things. They could not let them be snatched away.
Later on, Zhou Wenjie rushed to the front of all the mercenaries.
Five minutes later, Zhou Wenjie, who had rushed to the intersection, slowly slowed down.
Looking at the dense forest, he took out the simple map Wang Zhen had asked for just now.
After comparing it, Zhou Wenjie confirmed that it was here.
However, he was not in a hurry to enter.
Although he was confident that he could immediately retreat unscathed after entering, if there was an unknown mutated beast waiting there, he would still be the one injured.
Thinking of this, Zhou Wenjie walked to the side of the dense forest and immediately summoned the illusory fog.
Looking at the not-so-round moon in the sky, Zhou Wenjie let the illusory fog wrap around his entire body.
“Air Transformation ~”
Hearing Zhou Wenjie’s instructions, the originally gray illusory fog slowly became transparent until it “disappeared”.
This was a rather practical ability developed by Zhou Wenjie after obtaining the Illusory Fog.
Not only could the illusory fog transform into the appearance of other animals, but as long as it had seen it before, it could transform into the thing.
It could be said to be quite a cheat.
However, there was a problem. Zhou Wenjie discovered that every time this thing “transformed”, it would consume a huge amount of energy.
He had to take pills immediately, which meant eating crystal cores.
Otherwise, he would not be able to continue using that ability.
However, thinking of the benefits inside, Zhou Wenjie gritted his teeth and endured it.
Without sacrifices, you can’t trap a wolf!
After waiting for about five minutes, Zhou Wenjie saw two mercenaries who were the first to arrive at the edge of the dense forest after him.
Due to the cover of the illusory fog, these two people did not discover Zhou Wenjie’s existence at all.
After looking at each other warily, they made the same choice as Zhou Wenjie— to wait.
They were all old mercenaries.
He naturally knew that it was easiest to encounter danger if he entered first.
After the awkward scene, more and more mercenaries arrived at the entrance of the dense forest.
Just like that, Zhou Wenjie, who was “standing” at the edge of the dense forest, counted with the help of the weak moonlight. Other than himself, there were 28.
However, none of these people discovered Zhou Wenjie’s existence.
Sensing the ability of this thing, Zhou Wenjie was not even as heartbroken as before.
After all, it was indeed powerful!
This was a sharp weapon for killing and arson!
It had to be known that mercenaries could sometimes accept assassination missions.
While Zhou Wenjie was thinking about this, the mercenaries also began to discuss the rules.
Someone began to suggest,
“Why don’t… everyone enter together?”
“In case everyone distrusts each other and wastes their energy.”
This suggestion was agreed by most mercenaries.
Of course, there were also lone wolves who directly expressed their lack of interest.
Then, they rushed into the dense forest.
Seeing that someone was the first to rush in, the other mercenaries did not say anything. They each took out their flashlights, weapons, or activated their abilities and stepped into the dense forest in front of them that the moonlight could not penetrate.
After all these people rushed into the dense forest, Zhou Wenjie slowly appeared.
However, he was still not in a hurry to enter.
The reason why he appeared was mainly because the psychedelic fog had already begun to complain that it was hungry.
It had to come out to replenish its energy.
Just as he took out the crystal core, he heard a cry of surprise from the dense forest.
“Quick, quick, quick! Retreat quickly! There’s something on our heads!”
“Damn it, what the hell are these?!”
“Someone, someone rushed out! Block it, quickly block it!”
“Why do those strange things on the top of my head look like humans?”
“F*ck, it can’t be killed?!”
Hearing the exclamations from the dense forest, Zhou Wenjie hurriedly put away the crystal core. At the same time, he made the hallucinatory fog become very small and follow beside him.
Then, its speed suddenly increased and it directly rushed into the dense forest.
With the help of the light in the hands of those mercenaries, Zhou Wenjie saw something chasing behind and above these people.
Behind him was a green vine man covered in dense vines.
Moreover, its speed was actually surprisingly fast. It felt like it was almost as fast as a level one speed-type mutant.
As for its head, it seemed to be some big green birds with a wingspan of about a meter.
What made him feel the most ridiculous was that under the light, there was actually a pattern that looked like a human face on the abdomen of these green birds.
After living for more than 30 years and being a mercenary for nearly ten years, this was the first time Zhou Wenjie had seen such a beast.
He did not know how powerful it was, but it really looked a little scary at night.
After seeing the general situation clearly, Zhou Wenjie slowed down slightly and directly infiltrated these mercenaries.
In any case, other than him, there did not seem to be a specific number of people just now.
After running out of the dense forest, the mercenaries looked at the mutated beasts that had stopped at the entrance of the dense forest in shock.
