Chapter 84: Don't Talk Nonsense...

  "Don't spout nonsense... at least not until he responds... " Wang Hai took a deep breath, thinking of Jiuming's strangeness, and felt that it was better to shut up these comrades who were trying to ease the atmosphere with jokes, but it seemed a bit late..."

  Just as they finished speaking, Jiuming had already thought of a response and replied to Wang Hai.

  After responding, Jiǔ Mìng scratched his head in confusion. Strangely, after responding, he suddenly felt that a new commission had been established, and when did he accept someone else's commission again?

  "I'll go out for a bit first."

  Wang Hai let out a long sigh after seeing Jiuming's response, indeed it was mysterious enough, they could contact each other even without signal. His comrades around him also looked at Jiuming's reply in surprise, "It really works!?"

  They were originally a small team, but as a result of carrying out a surprise attack task, they were ambushed by alien beasts and lost more than half of their men. The remaining survivors barely escaped to this valley and started a guerrilla war with those alien beasts.

  This is already the territory of alien beasts, they have no supplies and can't hold on for long. Breaking through with just these few people is a futile effort. Without surprise, their files will soon be marked "deceased".

  According to Jiǔ Mìng's request, Wáng Hǎi quickly took a few photos of the surroundings and looked at the remaining battery life on his phone. He then hastily sent the detailed photos of the surrounding terrain to Jiǔ Mìng.

  "Hmm... just right to try out this thing's power." Browsing through the photos on his phone, that was where Wang Hai was hiding, if so... Jiǔ Mìng replied with a new text message.

  "Alright!" Seeing the last reply from Jiumeng, Wang Hai let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no sudden power outage on his phone!

  "Everyone get ready to rush."

  His response to the nine lives was to break through the gap, let them come over. For Wang Hai, who had experienced the gap, the feeling of being stared at by tens of millions of eyes in the gap was simply a nightmare. "Just close your eyes and rush forward for now."

  "Brother Wang, how... did that person you contacted get us to leave?" No one wanted to die, even though they had already made preparations for a heroic death.

  "Is the space system's anomaly enough? Hurry up and prepare."

  The time of one minute mentioned by Jiu Ming is almost up, and Wang Hai doesn't say much either.

  "Come on." He licked the corner of his mouth, and Jiǔ Mìng crushed the sealed card in his hand. In front of him, a long black line appeared as if it had been cut by a knife, with a bow-like shape at both ends that seemed to have been added with an evil intention...

  On the other end of Wang Hai, a similar crack appeared. Through the opened crack, one could see into the dark space inside, where dense red eyes were packed tightly together, extremely conspicuous and not needing any effort to find.

  "Hurry up!"

  A loud voice came from the gap, and those who were stunned suddenly came to their senses. Wang Hai loudly called out to them, quickly rushing in; he could tell that Jiǔ Mìng's voice was urgent.

  Some people, out of curiosity, opened their eyes while running into the gap and took a glance around, almost getting scared to pee by the endless red eyes everywhere, and what they were stepping on seemed to be a large number of red eyes as well.

  A short distance, just a few steps away, made those who opened their eyes and came out of the gap drenched in sweat, it was too scary.

  "Where is this?" As everyone rushed out, the gap behind them closed completely. Jiǔ Mìng leaned against a worn-out wall and let out a long sigh, tossing high-energy crystals into his mouth like he was eating sugar beans.

  Maintaining a distance is really tiring, and it's still a big loss for MP even if we leave with such a great distance.

  "Lingquan City." Wang Hai replied to the man's question, walked up to Jiuming's side and patted his shoulder. "Great kindness doesn't need thanks, if it weren't for you we'd all be writing our wills one by one now."

  He didn't have much hope for it anyway, wanting to save them from so far away was an insoluble problem.

  "No big deal, I was looking for an opportunity to test its power anyway." The Nine Lives, who had recovered a bit, smiled lightly and asked Wang Hai curiously, "By the way... come here for a moment."

  He glanced at his comrades who returned with Wang Hai, they all had injuries on their bodies, but most of them were minor wounds, and a few who strained muscles and bones would be fine in no time.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Hey, what did you promise when you asked for help earlier?" Jiǔ Mìng asked, holding up a card, and Wáng Hǎi's face immediately showed a few lines of worry.

  "Is it effective?"

  "Rubbish! Otherwise I would ask?"

  Jiǔ Mìng threw the sealed card in his hand to him, Wang Hai opened his mouth and had a "this is going too far" expression on his face.

  Name: Vitality (Not Usable)

  [Type: Consumable]

  Attribute: Life

  Quality: None

  Time limit: 120 years

  [Note: A product from a life transaction...... Are you a devil?]

  Convertible Source Power: 4380

  [Collection remaining time: 10 days]

  Divide 120 by 10, just matching the number of people who recently echoed "if you can live, reduce your lifespan by ten years".

  I don't know what they'll think when they find out, but whatever... Sometimes joking around can be fatal, it's better to die at home than abroad.

  "Didn't you say that if they lose too much vitality, they'll die? They just look a bit weak." Having made up his mind, Wang Hai decided not to tell this to those comrades, lest they worry.

  "How can they extract the vitality of demand? In short, within ten days, they will become more and more empty. During this period, it's best to keep up with their nutrition." Jiǔ Mìng shook his head, a deal was made and that was irreversible.

  As for the timing of this collection, Mr. Panel's explanation is that if you extract it all at once, you won't be able to get the indicator's vitality, and you need to let them recover their energy slowly, just like a battery... even though it's clearly out of power, after recharging, it can still be used for a while.

  Ten days can guarantee their survival and reach the extraction target, nine lives can choose to shorten the time a bit, but then they can survive... hehe.

  Shortening time is possible, but lengthening it? No way!

  "I'm really curious, how did you manage to get yourself into such a desperate situation?" Jiǔ Mìng glanced at Wáng Hǎi, who had many injuries on his body, with new and old wounds all over the place.

  "Never mind, the possibility of a beast tide breaking out this year is already very high." Wang Hai waved his hand gloomily, "Damn it, Mingming was only on a normal scouting mission but he still managed to run into a huge wave of beasts!"

  Wang Hai said with a tone of embarrassment, "To say that we were also careless..."

  He wanted to say something else, but his words were interrupted by the sound of an ambulance siren. Wang Hai looked at Jiu Ming in confusion, "This...?"

  "When I came out earlier, I thought that since it's an emergency, shouldn't we contact the hospital?"

  "You're really thoughtful... thank you."

  Jiuming waved his hand at him and turned to walk into the waves behind him. When Wang Hai went back, he saw those doctors carrying stretchers and moving their comrades who had fallen down at some unknown time.

  Their vitality has been constantly drained, making them unbearable with fatigue and sleepiness. Indeed, food can be eaten casually, but words cannot be spoken casually...

  Wang Hai silently shook his head.

  "There's still one who can stand up, just in time to ask what happened here......Damn it, Old Wang, how did you come back!?"

  A man wearing a white coat suddenly lost his composure after taking a clear look at Wang Hai's face.

  "Is it really you?" Wang Hai curled up the corner of his mouth. "Let's talk about this later, I'm having a bit of chest pain right now, can you take a look for me?"

  When I was tense before, the pain was temporarily suppressed. Now that I've relaxed, all sorts of fatigue and pain have emerged one after another. The doctor didn't mince words either, reaching out to pull open Wang Hai's shirt, furrowing his brow as he looked at it, "It doesn't look like internal bleeding... probably you've been poisoned."

  "...and you're still so calm!?" Wang Hai raised an eyebrow.

  "Look at the wound here, it's almost scabbed over, and you've clearly been poisoned for some time now. Yet, I haven't seen anything happen to you, the poison isn't killing you." Although he said this, the doctor quickly returned to the ambulance and administered an injection to Wang Hai, "Alright, it's not a life-threatening toxin."

  "What's going on with this hospital?!" After being sent to the hospital, Wang Hai looked at the queue of people and asked, "How are there so many people?"

  "A spore particle's influence, right, this thing is for your prevention." Zhuo Ming fished out a nose plug wrapped in transparent plastic from his pocket and tossed it to Wang Hai, "For filtering, just in case."

  "You're giving it to me now that we've come all the way here!?" Wang Hai's mouth twitched, what was he saying earlier? Now he's taking this thing out?! Wang Hai almost slapped him, "Hurry up and tell me what's going on!"

  "Hey, you go first and tell me how you guys came back. It's a journey of several thousand kilometers, just say you're back and that's it?"

  "Go, go, go! This matter can't be explained clearly for the time being, and it's almost too late to turn back." Wang Hai wanted to take a puff of that cigarette, but Zhuo Ming snatched it away and threw it into a trash can passing by through the car window.

  “……”

  "Assaulting a doctor is against the law." Seeing Wang Hai's expression was not right, Zhuo Ming quickly added, "I'm telling you there are surveillance cameras in this car, whatever you do will become strong evidence!"

  “……”

  Wang Hai didn't say a word, but Zhuo Ming couldn't stay still. When getting off the car, he asked Wang Hai, who was the only one standing among those returning, "How come you don't seem like them? You can even stand up?"

  "You expect me to lie down!?" This kid's words are getting more and more infuriating!

  "No, I checked him out a bit earlier and found that they were all extremely exhausted. What happened to you guys?"

  "Ask your old man to go." Knowing Zhuo Ming's curiosity was strong, and once interested in something, he wouldn't rest until it was clear, like a restless monkey with ADHD. Wang Hai simply threw the ball to Zhuo Hongxin, "If he agrees, I'll tell you."

  "Alas? Alright." Wang Hai was determined not to open his mouth, and he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't pry open the other person's mouth... The key thing was that he couldn't win a fight...
