January 2, 2025, 4:08 a.m., minus 12 degrees, 15th Marine Corps Camp.

Yun Mo walked back to the army camp with a frozen blood on her face and frost, a pair of shoes soaked in thick blood juice, and every footprint was deeply cut off a blood mark.

The soldiers of the fifteenth team took an old military uniform and handed it to Han Xiuyu, motioning for him to step forward and hand it to the soaking wet girl.

In the eyes of this group of big men, no matter how hard Yun Mo can fight, he is just a teenager, he always has to take care of the place where he should be taken care of, like now, with a thin layer of ice on his body, even the soldiers can't stand it, she can't tell how cold it is!

Although they also understand that there are many differences between supernatural abilities and ordinary people, such as Yun Mo, a master of that level is afraid that he doesn't care about the temperature of minus ten or so. However, whether it is as a comrade-in-arms on the same front, or as an elder who cherishes her children, they have no reason to ignore her as a "human" because of Yun Mo's identity.

The reason why Han Xiuyu was asked to pass on some necessities was just to protect some of the child's feelings. Compared to their group of strangers, Han Xiuyu, who is a long-term partner, should be able to persuade this girl to take care of herself.

"Give." Han Xiuyu handed over the old military uniform, looked at the ice slag in Yun Mo's head, and suddenly smelled a sour stench on the tip of his nose, he frowned and stared at Yun Mo's appearance covered in stains and blood scabs, and said, "Where have you been?" What a sewer smell."

Yun Mo stretched out his hand to shake off the ice chips in his palm, then took the military uniform, turned his head and nodded at the soldiers on the side to thank him, this move suddenly surprised the soldiers who had already been reduced to the background board, probably not expecting Yun Mo to thank them. So much so that a group of people became ice sculptures in the winter.

"Well, I pry a manhole cover along the residual magnetic field and climb down the sewer." Yun Mo glanced at the very abrupt stroller in the camp, and looked at the baby wrapped in layers of down with deep eyes. When she froze on her slightly rosy face, her brow softened slightly. The touch is too faint to detect the excess energy fluctuations at all. For this reason, I also jumped into the sewage to look for it, but I didn't expect that there was no other clue other than slaughtering a few mutant rats."

Jumping into the sewage to find ......

How much do you have to be a girl to jump to that kind of place!

Han Xiuyu looked at Yun Mo's extremely dirty and smelly clothes, and his temples jumped suddenly: "You better find a place to clean up first, the search for that evolved can be slow, after all, even if you track it down now, it's just useless."

That's right......

She'd spent the night probing the ripples. But I still haven't caught a small tail, and it's really not a wise choice to consume it any longer, so it's better to take advantage of this period of hidden time for high-level bodies to circle some medicine and food, so that it can come in handy at the base.

"The rescue work at this end is nearing completion, and by daybreak we will have to change directions. Xiao Chen said that it had been done, and people were currently gathering in a large supermarket. The army of materials in the area of the medicine hall will be responsible for the collection, and the number of crystal nuclei obtained after dealing with the battlefield will be fully handed over to you."

"I overheard them say that you decided to artificially create a group of Avatars...... Is this true?" Han Xiuyu lowered his eyes and looked directly into Yun Mo's eyes seriously, "What if. You are not 100% sure that you will succeed, but you are just treating them as guinea pigs for the real 'Miracle Makers', and I hope you will abandon this plan."

"It's too wanton......"

"Yun Mo. Soldiers are very serious, and it is easy to be serious, you let them protect their families and defend the country, and they will even give up their lives to save an irrelevant person, but if they die on the real stage, don't you think it insults their value? So, I beg you, don't exercise this ...... lightly Too bold a plan."

Creating a group of artificially powerful people is terrifying just to think about.

Since being promoted to the Adept. Han Xiuyu really understands the barrier between ordinary people and extraordinary people, and it is precisely this. It was hard for him to imagine what kind of artificial way he was able to create a creature of the level of 'Alien'!

"Tsk. Do you think what I'm saying is a joke?" Yun Mo spit out a sentence lightly, and replied, "I don't take risks, I also have methods such as artificially creating supernatural people, but the quality of the audience determines the probability of success, so I set the scope on the military."

"Listen to Han Xiuyu, as you just said, soldiers will shed their blood in order to save someone who has nothing to do with it, so they are more eager than anyone else to have the strength to protect the people behind them."

"Bringing out their hidden potential to make abilities, even if it's a big risk, I think they won't hesitate to try. This is not an obsession that can be dispelled with a few simple words, even if you know that you will die in the next moment, you must squeeze your life in advance at this moment to fight for a glimmer of life for the homeland behind you, this is a soldier."

"I know them better than you do." Yun Mo's dark eyes looked at Han Xiuyu's slightly stubble chin, and said word by word, "I also cherish them more than you."

"So, I'm not going to joke with the lives of soldiers."

After finishing speaking, taking the old military uniform in his hand, Yun Mo bypassed the stunned Han Xiuyu, and the light voice thread penetrated his eardrums: "I'll go clean up, the direction is the nearest clothing store. Incidentally...... Trust your companion, Han Xiuyu. [,！ As much as you wish I believed you. Trust is reciprocal, don't use that evil to test my heart in the future, I still have a bit of morality in dealing with life."

The footsteps behind his ears gradually faded away, and Han Xiuyu let out a long breath of white air in the deep silence of the night, as if he had unloaded a boulder in his heart, and raised his head and smiled bitterly: "Naturally evolved abilities and artificially created abilities, no matter how you hear it, you feel that you are pulling out seedlings to help grow, how can I feel at ease if I don't test it?"

The murmuring whispers spread in the night with the wind, and at this time, Yun Mo had already walked into the bathroom with a few sets of clean clothes, first tried whether the water pipe still maintained the function of transporting water, and finally helplessly found that the throat of the faucet made a "gurgling" sound and then completely stopped.

No water...... Tsk, that's a hassle.

What little spiritual power was left sent out of the void a stream of hot spring water, and the hot liquid dripping down from head to toe, washing away the stains on her body.

Tearing off the tattered clothes on his body and throwing them aside, Yun Mo quickly put some shower gel in the palm of his hand, and then rubbed bubbles all over his body at the speed of flying leaves picking flowers, and then poured the heat flow from the head, diluting the fishy smell to nothingness.

The dry towel wiped off the water droplets on his body, Yun Mo raised his hand to tear off the label on his clothes, and neatly put on his pants.

Wearing a small cotton vest inside, wearing a light-colored cardigan and woolen pants, a khaki hood windbreaker, a tight-fitting dark denim, and changing into skateboard shoes by the way, this makes Yun Mo, who has always been bloody, rarely have some youthful vitality.

After testing the speed and strength of the leg kick with his arm raised, and estimating the obstruction of the clothes, Yun Mo pinned the Tang knife to his waist and quickly left the place.

Time passed by the silent traces minute by minute, and at the moment when the first faint light of the sky was sprinkled into the world, in the perennially dark and damp sewer, a few shriveled flesh buds writhed their bodies from the depths of the sewage pipe, moving forward little by little.

They seem to be dragging something huge behind them, so much so that they push the pitch-black sewage up and down along the way.

The shaking of the water waves alarmed many mutant species in the small waterway, a mutant rat as fat as a cat looked for approaching from a distance, swaying a fat body fixed at the mouth of the sewage pipe, it was estimated that it smelled some flesh and blood, a pair of small mouse eyes bloomed with a greedy essence in an instant, and then, it struggled to raise its body to reach the mouth of the pipe, trying to swallow the small dishes that reached the mouth.

It wasn't long before a wriggling granule twisted its body appeared in front of it, shriveled and yellow, as if it were about to die, but it was a delicacy that could not be ignored for gluttonous rats.

Almost without hesitation, the rat jumped up and bit the bud, its sharp teeth piercing into the inside of the bud and chewing a few times, until a stream of cold liquid poured into the abdominal cavity, and it suddenly realized that something was wrong!

But at this moment, it's too late.

The mutant rat convulsed and twitched up, its short limbs fluttering vigorously in an attempt to escape from this ghost domain, and the granules at this time were like hungry people chasing after a long time of Ganlin, piercing its organs along the esophagus of the mutant rat, wrapping around its entire body from the direction of its hind limbs, tightening, piercing, and sucking......

After a while, the slightly plump flesh bud shook off a shriveled rat skin in disgust, and continued to drag the humanoid body behind him slowly, and then, preying on the unlucky guy passing by to replenish the depleted body.

A faint breath of death spilled out from the human form, and I saw that the white bone joints hidden under the black water twitched slightly, and even the flesh and skin tissue on the top was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The strange vitality gradually emanated from the human form, probably because the devoured rat played a role, and the speed of the flesh bud climbing was much faster than before. (To be continued)

ps: I actually fell asleep with drooling while holding the tablet, and the bird (ˉˉ) was fortunately woke up in time...... I've been exhausted in the last few days
