Baiyu didn't want to say much about Yao Shuii's peculiar obsession.
After all, considering her age.
Calling her "sister" wouldn't be a loss for Baiyu.
But what made Baiyu uncomfortable was that she wanted him to go to the site together. Anyone who had experienced the scene where the giant hand tore through the sky wouldn't want to revisit the place.
It was also because Baiyu had strong ntal resistance.
Take Qiong Xue, for example. She's been receiving psychological counseling recently because the initial incident left her traumatized.
Yet Yao Shuii still wanted Baiyu to go with her.
Was she worried he wouldn't mutate?
You should know, after I mutate, even I would be scared of myself!
Baiyu muttered inwardly, planning to use this reason to reject Yao Shuii. However, this mature woman leaned in, whispering in his ear, "Brother, I've reviewed your file. Your resistance to mutation is amazingly high.
According to professional research institutions, your resistance has reached the level of a Tier Two Grandmaster.
So.
Don't think you can use this reason to brush off.
Besides, just going along won't pose any danger."
Baiyu felt that this "brother" was an insulting term.
However.
When Yao Shuii said it, she was so natural and amiable, showing no signs of anything unusual.
So Baiyu had to let it go.
"When do we set off?"
"No ti like the present. Tonight. Anyway, the nights in Mountain City are artificially created, so it won't be too dark outside the city. The weather is cool at night, just right."
Yao Shuii directly made the decision.
Baiyu didn't object, knowing that even if he suggested otherwise, Yao Shuii wouldn't adopt it.
And thus, the eting concluded in this manner.
Baiyu returned ho, and after a brief rest, a tal car from the Anomaly Bureau was already parked in front of the Earl's Mansion.
At the driver's seat.
Yao Shuii, wearing a black casual outfit, sat there, with many inexplicable pieces of equipnt placed on the back seat.
"Just the two of us?" Baiyu opened the passenger door, got in, and fastened the seatbelt.
Yao Shuii nodded, "Two people are enough. If it weren't for needing you to guide , I would have gone alone."
"Then why bring along..."
Baiyu rolled his eyes.
Yao Shuii, however, kept her eyes on the road ahead, ignoring Baiyu's sarcastic remarks.
The vehicle started from the Inner City District and made its way out, encountering no obstacles as it arrived at the city gates.
Then.
The massive city gates constructed of steel alloys slowly opened, emitting a heavy friction sound, and the surrounding layers of the Spirit Array activated simultaneously.
The vehicle dashed off like a runaway horse on the muddy road.
The trees around were like ancient beasts, furiously growing, with their dense leaves blocking out the sky and shutting out the sunlight of the night.
In the No Darkness Realm, there is no night.
The nights of Mountain City are artificially created using the Spirit Array.
Upon leaving the city.
Baiyu imdiately felt the bright sunlight.
Though not as intense as at noon, it was still much brighter than the Black Night.
The fantastically shaped trees continued endlessly, and the further they got from Mountain City, the stranger the environnt beca.
Along the way.
There were quite a few outposts.
However, after a cleanup ordered by He Jin, these outposts were staffed with absolutely loyal soldiers, preventing any previous situations from reoccurring.
The iron-clad jeep drove for about three hours.
At Baiyu's call to stop, Yao Shuii stepped on the brake, halting the jeep in an open area.
Ahead.
The once lush and green forest vanished.
Looking as far as the eye could see.
All was a scene of burnt hues.
One charred tree after another stood tall, and on the dark red earth, there was nothing but ashes.
Shrubs, wild grass, and so on, none remained.
Apart from the blackened trees and the dark red ground, there was no other color around.
This scene extended out for several kiloters, with even the two small hills ahead thoroughly scorched.
As if a forest fire had swept through.
Yao Shuii sniffed the air lightly, taking a deep breath, "This is Qiu Yun's ability, it seems that the giant hand from back then pushed Qiu Yun to the brink."
To unleash such power so unreservedly.
It's conceivable.
What Qiu Yun was facing at that ti.
Yao Shuii parked the jeep nearby and, led by Baiyu, arrived at the center of the battle.
She circled around, performing many strange actions that Baiyu found hard to comprehend and had never seen before, then returned to the jeep and took out a small electronic machine.
This contraption looked familiar.
Baiyu observed for a while before realizing that it seed to be an old radio.
This kind of thing.
Besides seeing pictures online, Baiyu had hardly ever seen one in reality, and he didn't expect to encounter one here today.
Noticing Baiyu's puzzled look.
Yao Shuii placed the radio at the center of the scene and said, "This is a Sealing Object. As for its Effect..."
Yao Shuii didn't continue explaining.
Instead, she placed the radio in the center of the scorched ground and pressed the radio's button.
Bzzz... Beep beep...
A burst of mixed electrical noise flickered through.
The radio, which looked old enough to be from two centuries ago, unexpectedly began playing music at this mont.
"In the vast expanse of the horizon is my love..."
An incongruous voice rang out.
Baiyu's expression turned peculiar, then suddenly seed to have recalled sothing, his expression becoming even more vivid.
Yao Shuii evidently hadn't used this machine for a long ti, and the unexpected music made her extrely embarrassed.
