"Then what are we waiting for? Let's find a way out quickly..."
659's brows furrowed, and while he spoke to urge, he turned to look at Li Baiyi beside him.
This general-level zombie of unknown origin seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and stood up from the ground while crawling.
"Then what, if you don't mind, I can use my mental vision to explore and see what's going on around me?"
The fact that general-level zombies have spiritual vision is not unfamiliar to Zhang Ning and 659.
The two looked at each other and nodded slightly.
In this dimly lit den, vision was severely obstructed.
The only thing that can serve as an early warning is the mental vision of general-level zombies.
Zhang Ning and 659 nodded in agreement, and Li Baiyi did not hesitate. He closed his eyes and opened his spiritual vision.
However, the exploration did not last long before Li Baiyi's brows wrinkled unconsciously.
Shao Qing, he opened his eyes and said worriedly.
"No, I don't know what's wrong. My mental vision seems to be greatly restricted. The detection radius is only fifty meters. I can't detect anything further..."
"How can it be only fifty meters away? Aren't you a third-level general?"
Zhang Ning was the first to express disbelief.
You must know that the mental field of vision of a first-level general is more than 100 meters. No matter how bad Li Baiyi is, it shouldn't only be 50 meters, right?
"Hey, didn't I say that my mental vision is limited? Maybe it's because of the existence of mutated fungi like snake-headed fungi in this cave..."
Li Baiyi shook his head, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
"You can probe fifty meters, right?"
Compared to Zhang Ning's anxiety, 659 seemed much calmer.
"Yes, fifty meters is already my limit..."
"Then fifty meters, you open your mental vision to explore the path, and notify us two immediately if there is any situation."
The current situation was urgent, and 659 had no intention of discussing it with Zhang Ning and gave the order directly.
However, after Li Baiyi heard this, a troubled look appeared on his face again.
"There is no problem with opening up my mental vision to explore the path... But I really can't distract myself from carrying this corpse. You also know it, young hero. If you let me control him, it will be a piece of cake..."
It's not that Li Baiyi deliberately made excuses this time.
General-level zombies occupy a special position among mutant zombies, relying not on physical strength but on mental strength.
And if you want your mental power to be most effective, you must keep the general-level zombies focused.
For Li Baiyi, being underground has greatly affected the radiation of his mental power.
Now that there is another corpse on his back, it can be said to be even more difficult to detect potential threats around him.
"no."
Before Li Baiyi could finish speaking, 659 refused coldly.
"You explore the way, and I'll carry the body."
With that said, he reached out and took the body directly from Li Baiyi's back.
Although doing so would put you in danger of being attacked, the situation you were facing now was obviously more dangerous.
The lesser of two evils, 659 understands this.
Before Li Baiyi could react, he suddenly felt a lightness on his back and no longer burdened.
After hesitating for two seconds, he obediently opened his spiritual vision.
He passed directly over 659 and Zhang Ning and walked to the front. Next, Li Baiyi will be responsible for leading the way.
Of course, Zhang Ning still needs to be guided on the way out. After all, Li Baiyi has never entered the underground cave and is not familiar with which passage can lead to the outside world.
His role is to sense the danger ahead, so as to remind Zhang Ning and 659 to take a detour or prepare for battle.
In this way, two people and one corpse walked in the passage for a long time.
Fortunately, the way out that Zhang Ning came down before was not blocked. After passing several intersections with dense passages, 659 finally felt that it was starting to go uphill.
This meant that he was close to the ground and could get out of this dangerous hole.
But before a smile could appear on the young man's face, an accident happened again.
Li Baiyi, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, as if he felt something, and tilted his head.
Then, his body shook suddenly and he took several steps backward.
Due to his unstable center of gravity, the general-level zombie sat down on the ground.
"What's wrong? Is there danger ahead?"
Zhang Ning asked, holding Li Baiyi's neck collar with one hand, and lifted him up from the ground.
"Yes, yes! There is danger, great danger..."
Li Baiyi seemed to be frightened. When Zhang Ning lifted him up, his legs were still limp.
"I said you are a third-level general-level zombie after all. Why are you so useless? What on earth could scare you into being so cowardly?"
Because the road ahead was quiet and there was no vibration around him, Zhang Ning subconsciously thought that Li Baiyi was too timid and made a mistake in his investigation, so he didn't take it seriously when he asked.
"Gray light mist! There is a large area of gray light mist in front of me. My mental power cannot penetrate the light mist. I can't see it anymore. I can't see anything anymore..."
Li Baiyi's face was full of horror. It was hard to imagine that this expression would appear on the face of a zombie that drank blood and ate flesh.
"Gray haze? Be specific."
Zhang Ning was not a general-level zombie, so he obviously didn't know what the gray mist in Li Baiyi's mouth was referring to. Seeing that the other party was so scared, he couldn't help but feel uneasy when he asked.
"The gray haze is the unique spiritual mark of general-level zombies. This means that the existence in front is not an area that my spiritual level can explore. In other words, the creature in front is very strong!"
After explaining, the expression on Li Baiyi's face became even more frightened.
His body kept retreating, as if if there was even the slightest movement from the front, he would immediately run away.
"Looks like we have to take a detour..." 659 said.
"But I have missed the previous intersection. This section is a one-way street with no forks." After hearing 659's words, Zhang Ning explained.
There were marks made by him on the cave wall. Although the road was winding, there were no forks.
If you want to take a detour, you have to go back and choose one of the forks.
In that case, although you can avoid the light and fog ahead, you will have to walk in the underground cave for a long time.
"You're already here, why don't you go take a look at the front?"
Zhang Ning said tentatively.
Although Li Baiyi had already used his mental vision to detect the danger ahead.
But that was what he detected after all.
From the perspective of Zhang Ning and 659, there was no movement at all in front of them, and it was no different from the passage they passed before.
That’s why I had the idea to take the risk and go see it.
"Isn't it too risky..."
659 Although his thoughts were similar to Zhang Ning's, he still asked one more question out of caution.
"It's okay, just go take a look. If there is really any danger, why don't we retreat quietly? It's not far behind the fifty meters, are you right, little brother..."
An indifferent smile appeared on Zhang Ning's face, and he turned to look at the road ahead, eager to try.
"Okay, I'll go with you." 659 nodded and added.
"You two, I am not lying to you, there is real danger ahead! In my mental vision, there is a large gray haze!"
Li Baiyi said continuously, with a vibrato in his words.
"Okay, I'm not asking you to go. You stay here. When we come back, the two of us will go take a look at the front."
659 frowned and said forcefully.
He has always had a cold attitude towards general-level zombies.
Because he might have to deal with danger, 659 put down Little Ada's body, moved his joints briefly, and followed Zhang Ning to touch forward.
The two of them turned a corner and disappeared from Li Baiyi's sight.
"Oh, why don't you believe me..."
Li Baiyi frowned, stamped his feet angrily on the spot, turned around twice, and sat down next to the corpse.
The first reason why he didn't take advantage of 659 and Zhang Ning's departure to escape was because he didn't know the way out of Diwozi;
And the second reason is because he really wants to hand over the inheritance of [Zongheng] to Zhang Ning...
On the other end, Zhang Ning and 659 walked forward for about forty meters, and suddenly felt that the light around them was much darker.
When he looked up, he realized that there seemed to be a lot less spiritual crystal fragments embedded around the cave wall.
Without the red light of the spiritual crystal, there would naturally be no light in the underground passage.
"Hiss, why are there suddenly so few spiritual crystal fragments here? It's so dark. I'm afraid it's hard to move forward..."
Zhang Ning's voice came, with a hint of worry amid caution.
After hearing Zhang Ning's words, 659 did not respond. He just moved his right hand to his chest and tapped it twice.
Correct
In less than half a second, a light green data stream quickly flashed across the mirror in front of his right eye, reflecting in his deep eyes.
"Infrared detection has been activated and is adapting to the current illumination."
After a while, the originally transparent lens turned into a faint gray-black color, releasing a faint green light on the side facing 659's eyes, showing the surrounding scenery clearly.
659 did not use the night vision function that came with the Night Demon protective suit, but chose to activate the night vision function on the monocle.
In this way, he will be able to better cope with the next environment.
After all, the mask is full coverage, while the monocle only affects his right eye.
"You stay here, I'll go to the front and take a look."
After whispering to Zhang Ning, 659's left arm shone slightly.
Soft white light shines from the palm of your hand, illuminating the road ahead without making yourself appear too exposed.
"Damn, why did I forget you had a flashlight? Wait a minute! Let's go together. It's safe this way."
Zhang Ning muttered under his breath and took steps to catch up with 659.
Ahead is a vertical corner with an upward slope.
Wherever the light reaches, only the irregular cave walls can be seen, and there doesn't seem to be much danger.
But the two of them still cheered up and leaned in lightly...
