Chapter 153: Chapter 147: The Killing Intent Beneath the Fog
Because of his great strength, Su Han felt the changes in the spiritual energy within the mist and instinctively woke up. It was just before dawn that he was the first to notice sothing was off about the mist.
As ti went on and the sky grew brighter, the thickness of the mist beca more apparent, with more and more people noticing its intensification. Even within the camp, there was a bit of unrest starting to appear.
The thickening mist caught everyone off guard, as many believed that the mist would gradually disperse over ti and eventually return to the way the world used to be.
But now, such dense mist undoubtedly caused many to ntally break down.
“Tat tat tat”
The sound of hurried footsteps approached. Zhu Xiong, Yan iyu, and Gan Xinglei had almost imdiately co to Su Han’s side. If it weren’t for Ye Kailing staying behind in the ring zone, she would likely be here as well.
“Su Han, the mist has thickened.”
The first words upon eting were about the thickening mist. Su Han nodded lightly, “I know.”
In the living room, none of them seed to intend to sit down.
Yan iyu said, “So survivors are panicking, so can’t accept it. However, I’ve already sent Bai Xiao’e and Cheng Xiyuan to soothe them. There shouldn’t be much trouble. But, if you co forward, everyone will feel more reassured.”
The so-called trouble rely comprised the fear of the apocalypse and so shattered hopes.
The mist won’t lighten up, and the apocalypse isn’t going to end that easily.
“Old Zhu, you and Yan iyu take the Bat-winged Alligator Dragon out for a low flight around the area, tell them everything is as usual, just be wary of monsters.”
“Yes”
“Old Gan, you are in charge of deploying additional patrols to guard against monsters in the surroundings. Although this area has consistently been cleared by the Tree-born Worms, it doesn’t an it’s absolutely safe, especially around Yunling Mountain.”
“I’m on it.”
Su Han turned to Bai Qilan and asked, “Is this what Bai Qiuwen and the others referred to as the tide?”
Bai Qilan nodded and said, “It’s highly likely. If the mist is indeed the tide, then both the enhancent of spiritual energy and monsters will accelerate, especially since this is only the second wave of mist.”
In his previous conversations with Guo Wutao, the latter had revealed so predictions about the apocalypse, including speculations about the mist, made by Bai Qiuwen and Tian Jiaxuan.
In the docunts exchanged later on, there were also quite a few theories in this regard.
If spiritual energy and the mist were not from Earth, then their interaction should have a process.
It could be explosive, instantly bursting into Earth and destroying everything.
However, considering that humanity hasn’t perished yet, and the existence of a one-eyed entity that integrated an unprecedented Angel Envoy power system into human bodies.
It’s more likely not explosive, but rather gradual.
Slowly evolving, slowly making contact or perhaps eroding… Regardless, this process won’t be too quick.
Thus, the speculation about the mist tide erged.
Guo Wutao and his team, in collaboration with Su Han, had captured the granary, expanded greatly, and built fortifications. Nearly twenty days had passed, and they hadn’t approached Su Han, which surely ant they were busy preparing.
‘Could it have sothing to do with ascending to high altitudes?’
Su Han’s thoughts drifted a bit, but he soon dismissed the idea.
He didn’t think his current strength could cause any significant changes.
“Qilan, keep an eye on the effects of the second wave of mist on both monsters and humans.”
“I know, I’ve already had Ji Mingyang and Shu Hongguang gathering data. Master Cao’s students will also help on their end.”
Cao Yubao and his peers were all dical students. Although their field didn’t completely overlap with that of Bai Qilan, studying the apocalypse doesn’t require matching specialties, and a strong foundation in the old systems plus so research experience could be useful.
As everyone set into motion according to their assignnts from Su Han’s end, the trendous body of the Bat-winged Alligator Dragon soared over the camp, its presence bold and unmistakable.
Far from frightening the camp’s inhabitants, this display of formidable strength actually stabilized them, as everyone recognized it as the Leader’s Angel Envoy.
“It’s the Leader!”
“The Leader has appeared!”
Amidst the uneasy crowd, hushed exclamations sounded. Unlike the combat personnel, among the residents were also those who, although they had contracted with monsters like the Vine Giant Rat, the flesh corpse, the fish monster, and others, rely sought a peaceful life. The tasks of the Angel Envoys far exceeded those of fighting.
In a way, these were the ‘ordinary people’ of the apocalypse.
Of course, there was also a group of people whose talents were hindered, struggling to breakthrough First-level Interdiate, progressing too slowly to join the combat ranks without choice.
They too were among the uneasy crowd.
However, seeing the Bat-winged Alligator Dragon appear and Zhu Xiong accompanying it as it swept past, loudly proclaiming, “This is the normal tide of the mist, the camp is safe, everyone continue as usual, follow the managent!”
The ssage from the Bat-winged Alligator Dragon and Zhu Xiong quickly stabilized the camp.
Yan iyu imdiately followed up with the arrangents, sticking to the initial plans for the day’s work. Yet, out of caution, today’s main tasks still included scrutiny, and the clearing around Yunling Mountain area was also temporarily slowed down, prioritizing cleaning first.
More Ancient Tree Crystals were plucked from the Mother Nest Ancient Tree, almost half of them removed and allocated around various corners of the camp by Yan iyu and Gan Xinglei.
Despite the thickening mist, the camp maintained a state of mist dissipation because of the extensive placent of Ancient Tree Crystals, and order gradually restored.
However, everything was just as Bai Qilan said, this was only the beginning.
