Chapter 417
At these words, the rescue team leader also froze, “You knew?”
There are levels of biochemical suits, with level d being the lowest and level s being the highest.
But to the outside world, grade A is the highest.
If one had not been exposed to the industry specifically, one would not have known that there was an S-grade suit above the A-grade.
Even the team members were not aware of this.
The rescue captain had to pay attention to it now, and he asked his team members to take out the only S-grade protective suit and handed it to Wen Fengmian’s hand, with a respectful expression: “Dare I ask who you are?”
Wen Fengmian didn’t say anything, putting the protective suit on before speaking, his voice very low: “Useless scum.”
Ying Tianru was still in a daze.
He knew that Wen Fengmian had always lived in Qing Shui County.
That place, Qing Shui County, was a key national poverty alleviation area.
Many of the people living there didn’t have enough to eat, let alone go to school.
The Jiang family’s school sponsorship project has really helped a lot of students too.
So when Ying Tianru thought of Ying Ziji living in such a place for more than ten years, it was hard for him.
Both Ying Tianru and Elder Zhong were grateful to Wen Fengmian.
They had no food for themselves, but they still carried Ying Zidian back.
But they were also thinking that Wen Fengmian should not have any education, but education does not mean tutorship either.
Both Ying Zidian and Wen Hailan had been well educated.
But now, Wen Fengmian had casually said the name of a poisonous fog that they had never heard of, and knew about the existence of S-grade protective suits.
What kind of person was he?
Wen Fengmian had already walked in.
Only then did Ying Tianru react and was busy chasing after him, “Uncle, you’re not well, it’s better for me to go in.”
“It’s useless.” Wen Fengmian remained faint, his voice calm, “You don’t understand the death poison mist, I have antibodies inside my body, the S-grade protective suit is only basic protection, sooner or later it will be eroded.”
However, only Wen Fengmian himself knew that even if he had antibodies, he would still die if he stayed in the death poisonous fog for too long.
But no.
What was buried in there was his daughter.
He couldn’t let anything happen to her no matter what.
Wen Fengmian put on his mask and had no choice but to do so.
Originally, he should have died twenty years ago too.
It started with the death fog and ended with the death fog, so it was a reincarnation.
Ying Tianru froze in his tracks: “Uncle ……”
On the other side, the rescue team member took out a tablet and handed it over, “Captain, the international poison database can’t find death poison mist.”
The rescue captain frowned.
It was hard to believe that he had been tricked?
“DEATH poison mist? I know.” Zuo Li suddenly spoke up, his fingers squeezing tightly as he spoke in a low voice, “Over twenty years ago, an experimental accident on an island off the coast of China triggered a serious radiation outbreak.”
“Later tests showed that in the core experimental area, there was still a residual toxic mist.”
“This poisonous mist is so damaging to people that even if it doesn’t kill them immediately, it will gradually damage the body’s organs until they fail.”
“All the researchers in the core experimental area died, and this poisonous mist was recorded, as the exact composition was not found out, only a code name ‘death’.”
DEATH, that is, death.
Death mist.
No one could escape the death mist.
Zuo Li pursed her lips, her hand dropping somewhat feebly, “It’s normal that you can’t find out, it’s forbidden.”
Inside the biology lab of the Imperial University, there was death poison mist, only a small canister was stored.
After more than twenty years, it still hadn’t been possible to analyse the exact composition of DEATH poison mist.
Some researchers suspected that the material of death poison mist was most likely from outer space, which was why it did not exist on the periodic table of elements.
It was only after Zuo Li was promoted to first-cla*s professor that he learnt about this matter.
All those who participated in the experiments at that time, but who were still alive, kept quiet about the matter.
This was the second time that death mist had appeared on Earth.
Zuo Li was now desperate.
The explosion was not frightening, what was frightening was the poisonous fog.
Even if Zuo Li didn’t want to admit it, but Ying was buried deep in the rubble and the chance of survival was nil.
**
A white fog blanketed the university city, blocking vision.
The bustling transport hub was now an empty city.
No, there was a team of people.
They too wore protective suits and looked indifferent as they walked among the ruins.
The poisonous mist could not invade their protective suits at all.
On their sleeves was a very clear black skull logo.
It was slightly hideous.
“A bomb made by the Lord Magician himself is no high technology.” The young man at the head of the group smiled coldly, “Whether it’s a detection machine or not, of course it can’t be detected.”
Those bombs that could be detected by science and technology were all disguises.
Of course, it was better not to be detected, and when the time came, when they exploded, they would be able to blow up the whole university city.
It was fine if they were dismantled.
They had hired so many hunters to come, also to confuse the other side.
What really worked was the bomb they had taken from the magicians.
It was an alchemical drug.
It was a pity that they only had a few of these bombs, as they were so rare.
“There are still a lot of people who have escaped.” Another man spoke up, “The rescue team came too quickly and all the people buried down there have been saved, should we continue?”
“No, they’ve absorbed more or less of that poisonous mist anyway, their health will be a problem later, and ibi is coming over.” The young man pondered for a moment and shook his head lightly, “The rest, leave it to the hunters, one will die if they can.”
“I really have to thank those universities for gathering so many talented people for us, otherwise the plan wouldn’t have gone so well.”
The men circled the ruins for a long time again, detection instruments in hand.
On the detection instrument, there was no curve of any fluctuation.
This was proof that there were absolutely no living people in there.
“There are no signs of life.” The young man sneered, “Alright, close the team and head back to the city.”
**
Endless darkness.
The air was dry.
The clay mixed with the smell of blood irritated the nostrils.
Ying Ziji opened her eyes slightly, her head resting on Fu Yunshen’s shoulder, her voice was soft, “You put me down, if this goes on, you’ll be exhausted too.”
She used up all her internal energy and as fast as she could, she saved Zuo Li, Teng Yun Meng and Feng Yue and those of them.
Then, an even more violent explosion burst from deep within the ground.
As well, she was buried in the deepest part of the ground.
Ancient martial arts, only developed the limits of the human body.
A powerful ancient martial artist was indeed able to defend against even bullets, but if a nuclear bomb went off, even an ancient martial artist would die.
Not to mention, she had only been re-training in Ancient Martial Arts for a little over a year.
Although her experience was all there, her cultivation was not enough.
Fu Yunshen’s voice added a touch of huskiness to it, his breathing slightly raspy from the excessive strength he had expended.
But not only did he not let go of her, he held her very tightly.
With his other hand, he firmly pushed aside the debris in front of him and carried her upwards.
Even though there was already blood running down his palm, splotchy and dripping.
But he just smiled, his voice low, soft and strong: “The person I’m holding is you, how could I possibly let go.”
Ying Ziji’s eyelashes trembled.
She slowly reached out her hand, her fingers over the hand he was holding her.
Slowly, she dropped it and clasped her fingers with his.
In times of life and death, it was as if the only way to feel alive was to touch something.
“Yaoyao, don’t say anything.” Fu Yun Shen’s breath was slightly heavy, “Protect your heart veins, don’t let the poisonous mist enter your body.”
As long as the heart veins are not invaded, the poisonous mist can be drained out.
This is difficult for modern medicine, but not for ancient medicine.
But if the heart chakra is invaded, ancient medicine can save it, and it will leave after-effects.
Just now, Fu Yunshen sensed someone above the ruins and heard a few words of their conversation.
He knew it was the enemy.
So he sealed both of their heartbeats and breathing with his internal energy, evading the detection instruments.
Now these people were gone, but not really safe.
Fu Yunshen’s eyes sank.
Ying Ziyi used what was left of his internal energy to protect his heart pulse while holding his hand tighter: “If you go out, you’ll be put on duty in advance.”
Fu Yunshen’s lips curved, “Good, I’ll keep that in mind.”
**
Another ten minutes pa*sed and the people waiting outside the city were anxious.
Under the arrangement of the university city lord, the injured and their families were each sent to the nearest city.
Some of the students on the Chinese side were also injured, but held on to none of them.
Feng Yue grabbed his hair and was devastated, his voice choked, “It’s all my fault, if Ying Shen hadn’t tried to save me, she would have been able to get out herself.”
Teng Yun Meng didn’t say anything, still dazed.
At this time, the sound of a helicopter roaring rang out overhead, waking everyone up.
Zuo Li looked up sharply, surprised: “ibi! It’s ibi!”
A helicopter at the forefront stopped, the suspension ladder landed, and a man jumped down from the aircraft.
Chief ibi, Li Xini!
Chapter 418
After seeing the man, the lord of the university town was shocked: “Director Lee Sini ……?”
Admittedly, this bombing was definitely within ibi’s jurisdiction, so they were bound to come, it was just a matter of sooner or later.
This time the ibi had come quickly, just over three hours had pa*sed since the explosion had started.
But the city owner didn’t even think about the ibi chief.
There had been attacks before where the damage had been even worse, and Sidney Lee had been in remote command from ibi headquarters.
How come this time he had come in person?
The city lord subconsciously got nervous.
Who else was buried in here, apart from the talents of the countries?
The City Lord did know something.
The top bra*s of the ibi were all named after successive emperors of ancient Rome.
For example, the director of the ibi, Li Sidney, or the deputy director, Dea, or the commander of the air warships, Antony.
This represents not only power but also absolute authority.
However, few people know that in the ibi, Sidney is not the most powerful, there is also a supreme executive officer above him.
This executive officer is not part of the ibi’s staff, but all ibi personnel are at his disposal, including Sidney.
Li Xini frowned at the university city lord: “Has everyone been rescued?”
“And, a dozen more.” Off to the side, the rescue captain handed over the list and lowered his head, smiling bitterly, “The poison mist is too severe for us to get in.”
But ibi was a different story.
The ibi had the most advanced defence weapons and technology in this world so that it could maintain world peace.
Li Xini took the list, took another map, and faintly: “Go, go in.”
The highest principle of ibi, the life of all citizens of the earth as the first priority.
All others, all come second.
Including their own lives and deaths.
“Yes, sir.” The senior detective raised his hand in salute.
Before coming, they had prepared their rescue cargo and all protective measures.
However, before the ibi’s Detective Agents could get inside, the roar of the plane sounded once more.
Lee Sini narrowed his eyes and looked up, and when he did, he couldn’t help but stare.
It was a plane too, but it was strangely shaped and flat.
The plane stopped and another group of people got out of the plane.
They were wearing school uniforms.
On the right chest of the uniforms was a gold logo.
Norton University Operations!
This time the one leading the group was the head of the Operations Department.
Blonde hair and blue eyes, handsome in appearance, very young, definitely not more than twenty-five years old.
“Thought you guys were here too.” The Minister of Operations nodded slightly, “Let’s go in together.”
At this, even Sidney Lee was shocked, “You guys ……”
ibi and Norton University’s Operations Department had worked together several times to catch international criminals.
But the few times inside the cooperation, it was with Norton University cadets in, only then Norton University Operations would come out.
He had confirmed that there were no Norton students in the ruins.
How could this have alerted the Norton University Operations Department?
The Lord of University City was baffled: “Chief Sidney Lee, they are ……”
With a wave of his hand, Sidney Lee stopped his words and instead said to the Director of Operations, “Come along then.”
The two teams went in immediately.
The few remaining senior detectives helped the rescue team proceed to settle the wounded, set up makeshift tents and distribute food.
The city lord was also relieved at last, and his tense nerves relaxed.
The presence of the ibi was proof that there was no danger at all.
The lord waved his hand and signalled for the guard to take their turn and rest.
He too took a piece of bread and began to eat it. As soon as he turned around, he bumped into a car that was driving very fast.
The Town Master was startled.
The car stopped just in time as it was about to crash into him.
The senior detective looked up and saw a young man quickly get out of the car.
“Seems to be late.” The youth glanced at the time and frowned, “ibi’s already here.”
Subconsciously, the senior detective looked again at the side of the car, where there was a family crest.
No one on o continent would not recognise it.
The Laurent family!
“Greetings, the Lord of the City of University City, is it not.” The youth extended his hand and shook the city lord’s hand, “I am Colin Laurent, the Laurent family is fully responsible for this loss and for the safety of all.”
The City Lord was dumbfounded and allowed his hand to be shaken, “Huh? Well, well, you guys ……”
The senior detective wiped a sweat from his face and took a deep breath.
The three most globally recognized people to mess with, all together today?!
It’s normal for them to come, what is it with Norton University and the Laurent family?
**
At this time, instead of dispersing, the poisonous fog had become even thicker.
Wen Fengmian had already arrived at the ruins of the hotel, holding a life-detecting instrument in his hand as he probed while shouting, “Yaoyao? Mr. Fu?”
There was silence, no response.
Having been deep into the depths of the death’s poisonous fog for so long, the S-grade protective suit had gradually turned black.
Wen Fengmian’s body swayed.
If this was his fate, could it be his daughter’s too?
The protective suit was turning black even faster.
Once it turned completely black, it would no longer be of any use!
“Sir! Sir, please come down! We’ll help you, you mustn’t get excited.” Li Xini, who had rushed over, saw it and jumped up in three steps, “We will save your daughter.”
Wen Fengmian was also really exhausted and had difficulty speaking, his voice was difficult, “Please, do save her.”
“Sir, here!” A detective shouted in surprise, “A heartbeat has been detected.”
Sidney Lee followed, and several men worked together to move the slab out of the way.
There was indeed someone down there.
But the sight stunned everyone.
With both hands, the man gradually lifted the girl in his arms.
On his arms were wounds, large and small, that were shocking to the eye.
With his embrace, he held out a space of life for the girl.
At the glimpse of the man’s face, Li Xini was startled.
It was also at this moment that Fu Yunshen lifted his eyelashes and gave Li Xini a look.
After confirming that Ying had been sent up, all his strength was removed in a moment, and his eyes closed as he fell backwards.
“Long ……” Li Xini’s expression changed drastically and he took that title back in time, grabbing Fu Yunshen’s shoulder with a quick eye, “Sir!”
The good thing is that ibi brought enough tools to not have to worry about the rubble caving in once again.
Two girls from Norton University’s Operations Department immediately took Ying into the ambulance, attached various instruments and began treatment.
Over here, Li Sidney and another detective rescued Fu Yunshen from the deep pit.
“Sir, we found this.” Another detective ran over.
He opened his hand and in his palm was a scrap of clothing.
There was a very clear black skeleton symbol on it.
The expression was bizarre, as if it was mocking and provoking something.
Sidney Lee was silent for a moment, “They did it on purpose.”
It was true that ibi had not found out the origin of this black skull.
Because all the people who had worn the symbol, whether it was their fingerprints, blood type or face, did not match up on the global database.
The only thing that could be determined was a very disturbed force.
Historically, but wherever this symbol had appeared, though only in a handful of places, there had been a number of casualties.
“Stow it.” Lee Sini ordered, “Bring it back to the station for testing later.”
The two rescue teams also found a few other people on the list.
Thankfully, these few were not in the centre of the poisonous fog and also still had a breath of air left in them.
Li Xini did not send a message to several of their senior groups, only to Anthony.
Only he and Anthony had seen what Fu Yunshen really looked like.
[Sir is still alive.]
That was the only message he could send back.
Yes, he was still alive.
Whether he could wake up or not was still an unknown.
**
On the Chinese side.
As the night wore on, the news exploded even more.
The Weibo hot search is still high.
The news is not good.
The planes to the university city have all stopped, so I can’t go there even if I want to, I’ve been scared all night.
I know Feng Yue and Teng Yun Meng have escaped, but where’s Ying Shen? How is he?
Until someone in the know revealed a piece of news.
[Yes, the latest news is that there is a poisonous fog inside the university city, and the rescue teams are having trouble getting in, and among those rescued, there is no Ying Zigui’s name.
When this Weibo post came out, there was a chorus of criticism.
[Disinformation! Rumour!!!]
I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it! How could she be dead? She’s doing a music video with Yu-chan!
[There’s no news from Yu Yu, so I’m a bit panicked.
From the live broadcast, Qin Lingyu’s fans could vaguely tell that Qin Lingyu had gone to save someone.
Later on, the live broadcast also cut off, so fans didn’t know what had happened.
Qin Lingyu was in O Chau, but also followed the news from home.
He let out a soft sigh and handed his mobile phone to Qin Lingyu who was at the side, “Do you want to report to your fans for safety?”
Qin Lingyu was hanging by one arm, her face pale.
