Chapter 162 Unlimited potential

In recent times, people in the base have broken through the genetic shackles one after another and become a new batch of evolvers.

Some are extremely powerful, some have spiritual attacks, and some even have higher understanding and control over the five elements.

Ding Wen used the last energy in his body to release a fireball, temporarily blocking the strange shape that suddenly sprang out from under the sand layer, while shouting at the top of his lungs to the others: "Run quickly, quickly -"

During the last earthquake, they were lucky enough to find a mountaintop with a relatively high altitude to escape the disaster. Although Qi Dong's previous confession was rejected, he still tried his best to protect her at the last moment, and he was seriously injured.

There were more than thirty people in total, but in the end, less than ten people survived. In addition to Ding Wen, Qidong and Zhenming Donghe, there were five other people.

However, most of them were in trouble. As soon as the earthquake stopped, they braved the black and gray world and returned to the base.

If it weren't for their previous genetic evolution and physical improvement, they would have suffocated to death from the black ash alone.

Fortunately, he finally survived and gradually improved under the treatment at the base.

The relationship between Ding Wen and Qi Dong also broke the ice because of this life and death support, and later they successively achieved some supernatural powers.

Then they often received missions from the base together and experienced countless life and death tests, and their relationship became deeper and deeper.

They had even planned to go to the base to formally sign the marriage contract after the mission was completed.

But I didn't expect that this mission would be so dangerous.

These were originally just slug-like soft-bodied creatures lurking underground. What is known about them is that they improve soil quality, have strong environmental adaptability, and are basically harmless to humans except for their larger size.

Usually they will burrow into the soil when encountering humans, but this time, they actively attack humans, and the mucus secreted from their bodies is highly corrosive to the human body.

They are more afraid of fire, but they don't carry much fuel, and Ding Wen's fire attack ability can't last long.

Ding Wen's legs were tightly wrapped in the mucus of several slugs. She felt that her life force was passing away rapidly and she could not get out of this desert.

She tried her best to drag Qi Dong who was fighting beside her out, and threw him out of the circle of slugs - he used his body to help her block the falling stones, and it was he who fought her for the last time.

Back to that cave with a sigh of relief... This time, I finally paid off.

The other team members looked at the gray-brown shadows dancing one after another under the surrounding sand. Countless slugs gathered here, separating them from Ding Wen.

They pulled Qi Dong tightly, "Let's go. If you don't go, it will be too late. She risked her own life just to save you. If you don't cherish her anymore, she will be disappointed."

Qi Dong's eyes were red. He had previously activated an earth power that could summon a wall of earth, but this power was of no use in front of mutated slugs that already depended on earth.

His body was involuntarily carried back by his companions, his eyes were red, and he roared suddenly. His body, which was already at the end of its strength, generated a huge force from nowhere, and suddenly threw the two people holding him away.

"You guys go away quickly and leave me alone. I said, it's okay to have nothing in this life, but I can't live without her..."

When they turned around, they saw that Qi Dong had already jumped onto the surging sand, and suddenly picked up Ding Wen, who had been dragged half of his body by the mutated slugs and buried it in the sand.

Ding Wen originally saw that everyone had left the slug encirclement. Although he was afraid of death and suffered physical pain, at least he was alive and at least he had saved so many people. It was considered a worthy death.

Unexpectedly, just when her life force was passing away and her consciousness was lost, a solid embrace suddenly embraced her, and a powerful force pulled her out of the sand.

"you--"

"Don't talk, I have to take you out of here, otherwise we will go together..."

"..."

Boom, there was a muffled sound.

Strange shapes shot up from the sand and rushed towards the two of them like facehuggers.

Qi Dong held Ding Wen in one hand and blasted out with all his strength with the other hand.

Tsk la la——

A string of electric lights flashed, and accompanied by the sound of electricity, the strange shape was frozen in mid-air, and then like a melted wax statue, it melted into a puddle of slime and soaked into the sand.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, he actually activated another power - a lightning power outside the Five Elements.

This is the most special power in the base so far, besides the light system and the spiritual system. Only no more than three people have it, and he is the fourth.

The most important thing is that the thunder and lightning abilities activated by Qi Dong are completely controlled by his thoughts and are life-type attacks.

For example, even though his body is exposed to lightning, Ding Wen is not affected at all.

The thunder and lightning he emits can actually distinguish between closeness and distance, and will not harm the person he wants to protect.

This thunder and lightning has a secret that is different from ordinary natural thunder and lightning. It can instantly disintegrate the slug's life system and turn it into a pool of thick water.

Although Qi Dong's lightning power is very powerful, there are too many monsters.

He had gone through a fierce battle before, and his physical energy was severely depleted. At this moment, he was somewhat unable to follow up after only launching a few lightning attacks.

But he still refused to let go of Ding Wen's hand - he wouldn't let go before, not now, and never in the future, even if he died.

At this moment, a beam of light was like a beacon in the darkness, instantly clearing the obstacles on their retreat.

Teammates rushed over to help the two men, who were on the verge of collapse, and escaped from the sea of ​​sand.

Qi Dong looked at this somewhat elegant man who had arrived after a long journey: "Thank you, Brother Mou."

Mou Yunzhang said: "It was the prophet who informed us to come to meet you. He said that the world has ushered in a new big change. Those strange shapes have new mutations..."

...The group of people returned to the base after going through all kinds of hardships, and they learned the news: There have been big changes in the New World.

——They are connected to the outer realm, which has now been taken over by alien civilization and is gradually "purifying" the world.

Those mutated slugs are the first species to be exposed to radiation.

In other words, the base now faces more severe challenges.

Mou Yunzhang sent Qidong Dingwen and others to the treatment room and set off again, with several red dots flashing for help on his wrists.

A young woman with supernatural powers wanted to follow him, but he refused without hesitation.

In the distance was Xue Ling, who had just learned that he had returned from a mission. She wanted to see if her husband was okay, and then she saw the other party brushing away the female superpower.

She couldn't tell whether it was sweet or sour: before and when the apocalypse came, she was the backbone of the family.

However, when he arrived at the base, he stimulated his genetic potential. Not only did his legs recover as before, but he also activated his light powers.
