Chapter 457: 417 The Director of IBI, Big Shots Gather Together [2 Updates]

“You know?” the rescue team leader was stunned as well.

Biochemical protective suits come in ranks, with D being the lowest and S the highest.

But to the outside world, A is considered the highest.

If one hasn’t had specialized contact with this industry, they wouldn’t know that there exists an S-rank protective suit beyond the A-rank.

Even the team members were unaware of this.

Now the rescue team leader had to take this seriously. He ordered his team member to take out the only S-rank protective suit and hand it to Wen Fong Mian, his demeanor showing a bit more respect, “May I ask who you are?”

Wen Fong Mian didn’t speak. After putting on the protective suit, he finally said in a low voice, “A useless cripple.”

Ying Tianlv was still in shock.

He knew that Wen Fong Mian had always lived in Qingshui County.

Qingshui County was a key area designated for national poverty alleviation.

Many of the people living there couldn’t even get enough food, let alone consider going to school.

The Jiang Family’s educational aid project indeed helped a lot of students.

So the thought of Ying Zijin living in such a place for over a decade pained Ying Tianlv deeply.

Both Ying Tianlv and Old Master Zhong were very grateful to Wen Fong Mian.

Despite having barely enough to eat himself, he still took Ying Zijin back with him.

But they also assumed that Wen Fong Mian probably didn’t have much education, although education is not indicative of upbringing.

Both Ying Zijin and Wen Tinglan had been raised well.

But now, Wen Fong Mian casually mentioned a poison gas name they had never heard of, and he also knew of the existence of S-rank protective suits.

Who exactly was he?

Wen Fong Mian had already walked inside.

Ying Tianlv finally snapped out of it and hurried after him, “Uncle, your health isn’t good, let me go instead.”

“It’s no use,” Wen Fong Mian remained indifferent, his voice steady, “You don’t understand the DEATH fog. My body has antibodies, and the S-rank protective suit is just basic protection that will eventually be corroded.”

However, only Wen Fong Mian himself knew that even with antibodies, he would also die if he stayed in the DEATH fog for too long.

But he had no choice.

Buried inside was his daughter.

He couldn’t let anything happen to her.

Wen Fong Mian put on the face mask, resolute and without hesitation.

Originally, he should have died twenty years ago as well.

Starting with the DEATH fog and ending with it, it was a cycle of sorts.

Ying Tianlv suddenly froze in place, “Uncle…”

On the side, a rescue team member handed over a tablet computer, “Captain, we can’t find any information on the DEATH fog in the international poison database.”

The rescue team captain furrowed his brow.

Could it be that he had been deceived?

“DEATH fog? I know of it,” Zuo Li suddenly spoke up, his fingers gripped tight, his voice low, “More than twenty years ago, on a small island off the coast of Hua Country, an experimental accident caused a serious radiation incident.”

“Subsequent tests showed that there was residual fog left in the core experimental area.”

“This type of fog is highly damaging to people. Even if it doesn’t immediately kill, it will gradually damage the organs until they fail.”

“All the researchers in the core experiment area died, and this fog was recorded, since the specific components couldn’t be identified, it had only a code name, ‘DEATH’.”

DEATH, meaning death itself.

Death Fog.

No one can escape the Death Fog.

Zuo Li pressed his lips together, his hands dangling weakly, “It’s normal that you can’t find it; it’s been prohibited.”

In the Biological Laboratory of Imperial Capital University, there was a small vial of DEATH fog.

More than twenty years had passed, yet the specific composition of the DEATH fog still couldn’t be analyzed.

Some researchers suspected that the material for the DEATH fog might have come from outer space, which is why it did not exist on the periodic table of elements.

Zuo Li only learned of this after he was promoted to a first-level professor.

Those who participated in the experiment at that time, the ones still alive, kept silent about it.

This was the second appearance of the DEATH fog on Earth.

Zuo Li was now in despair.

Explosions are not to be feared; the fog is what’s terrifying.

Even though Zuo Li didn’t want to admit it, the chances of Ying Zijin surviving, having been buried deep within the ruins, were zero.

**

The University Town was engulfed in a thick white fog, obstructing visibility.

The once bustling transportation hub had become a ghost town.

No, there was one team.

They wore protective suits as well, their expressions indifferent as they walked among the ruins.

The poison fog couldn’t invade their suits at all.

On their cuffs, there was a distinct black skull symbol.

Somewhat ferocious.

“The bomb made by the Magician himself is certainly not some high-tech gadget,” the leader of the group sneered coldly. “No matter whether it’s a detection machine or something else, of course, it couldn’t be detected.”

The bombs that could be detected by science and technology were all decoys.

Of course, not being discovered was better. When it exploded, it would be enough to blow up the entire University Town.

It didn’t matter if it was disarmed.

They had hired so many hunters to come here just to confuse the enemy’s line of sight.

What was really effective was the bomb they got from the “Magician.”

This was an alchemical medicine.

It’s just a pity that these bombs were rare; they only had a few.

“Still, quite a few people escaped,” another person spoke up. “The rescue team arrived too quickly, and those buried underneath were all rescued. Should we take action again?”

“No need. After all, they’ve more or less inhaled that poison fog and will have physical issues later on, plus IBI will arrive soon,” the young man pondered for a moment and then shook his head lightly. “The rest, leave it to the hunters; one less is one less.”

“We should really thank those universities for gathering so many talents for us. Otherwise, the plan wouldn’t have gone as smoothly.”

These few people wandered around the ruins for a long time, holding detection instruments in their hands.

On the detection instruments, there wasn’t the slightest fluctuation of any curves.

This proved that there were absolutely no survivors inside.

“No signs of life,” the young man sneered. “Alright, let’s head back to the city.”

**

Endless darkness.

The air was dry.

Clay mixed with the smell of blood, irritating the nostrils.

Ying Zijin opened her eyes slightly. Her head rested on Fu Yunshen’s shoulder, and her voice was soft, “Let me down. If this goes on, you’ll also be exhausted.”

She had used up her inner strength to rescue Zuo Li, Teng Yunmeng, Feng Yue, and the others at the fastest speed possible.

Afterward, an even more violent explosion erupted from deep within the ground.

That’s how she ended up buried in the deepest part.

Ancient martial arts only developed the human body’s limits.

Powerful ancient martial artists could indeed defend against bullets, but if a nuclear bomb exploded, even ancient martial artists would die.

Not to mention, she had only restarted her cultivation of ancient martial arts for just over a year.

Although her experience remained, her cultivation level was not enough.

Fu Yunshen’s voice had a hint of hoarseness, and his breath was slightly hurried due to using too much energy.

But instead of letting her go, he held her even tighter.

His other hand firmly pushed away the rubble in front of them, taking her upwards.

Even if blood flowed down from his palm, spattered and dripping.

He just smiled, his voice low, soft yet powerful, “It’s you in my arms; how could I possibly let go?”

Ying Zijin’s eyelashes trembled.

She slowly reached out and covered his hand that was holding her.

Gently falling, they interlocked their fingers.

At the brink of life and death, it seemed that only by touching something could one feel alive.

“Yaoyao, don’t talk anymore,” Fu Yunshen’s breath was a bit heavy. “Protect your heart meridian; don’t let the poison fog enter your body.”

As long as the heart meridian wasn’t invaded, the poison fog could be expelled.

To modern medicine, this was difficult, but not for ancient medicine.

If the heart meridian was invaded, ancient medicine could save her, but there would be sequelae.

Just now, Fu Yunshen had sensed people above the ruins and heard a few of their conversations.

He knew they were the enemy.

So he used his inner strength to seal their heartbeats and breathing to evade the detection equipment’s examination.

Now that these people had left, it wasn’t truly safe yet.

Fu Yunshen’s gaze darkened.

While Ying Zijin used her remaining inner strength to protect her heart meridian, she held his hand even tighter, “Once we get out, I’ll let you go to work early.”

Fu Yunshen’s lips curved slightly, “Alright, I’ll remember that.”

**

Another ten minutes passed, and the people waiting outside the city were extremely anxious.

Under the arrangements of University Town’s city master, the injured and their families were sent to the nearest city.

Students from Hua Country were injured as well, but they insisted on not leaving.

Feng Yue grasped his hair in despair, his voice choked with emotion, “It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for saving me, God Ying would surely have been able to get out on her own.”

Teng Yunmeng didn’t say a word, still in a daze.

At that moment, the sound of a helicopter rotor thundered in the sky, awakening everyone.

Zuo Li suddenly looked up, overjoyed, “IBI! It’s IBI!”

The helicopter at the forefront stopped, a ladder descended, and a man jumped down from the aircraft.

The Director of IBI, Li Xini!
