Chapter 1869 Exploration
Just as Autolia was about to gather everyone to dispel the pollution, she suddenly sensed something and became alert.
"Be careful! Stay alert!"
The military commander saw the change in Autolia"s expression and immediately shouted a warning.
Everyone in the party set up their defenses and looked at the black fog in front of them warily.
Soon, a group of players appeared from the black fog ahead.
They were from the City of Darkness!
Were they prepared to fight to the death?
The soldiers of the Federation army aimed their guns at the players in front of them.
"Don"t attack! We surrender!"
Without waiting for Lei Yu to give the order to attack, there were shouts and cries for help in front of them.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
"We surrender! Don"t do anything!"
"Save me, we surrender!"
A group of about 100 people ran out of the black fog and noisily approached the federal team.
"Stop right there!"
Lei Yu shouted loudly, his voice like a great bell!
The players in the City of Darkness who were running for their lives suddenly felt their eardrums bulge. They felt a little dizzy and stood rooted to the ground, not daring to move.
Lei Yu nodded at the captain of the Federation army behind him. The latter immediately led the soldiers forward.
"Everyone, stay where you are! Shut up! Put down your weapons! Accept the inspection!"
The players quickly dropped their weapons and stood where they were.
"Take them all away."
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers confiscated the players" weapons and handcuffed them with special handcuffs.
"You! Stop! What"s going on?" Lei Yu grabbed a handcuffed player and asked in a deep voice, "What"s going on in the base of the Mundt Gang?"
"S-Sir..."
The person Lei Yu grabbed was Xiaoqi, who had been leading Fang Heng and the others. He looked terrified and said carefully, "Aktu, the leader of the Mundt Gang, he"s crazy..."
"Be more specific! How could he be crazy!"
"Aktu had just entered the holy land of the Mundt Gang. Then, there was an explosion in the holy land and a large amount of fog overflowed from it."
Xiaoqi was terrified. He stretched out his hand and gestured. Even his voice was trembling, "After the black fog spread out, many people had problems. They escaped from the holy land and their bodies were rotten. It was too terrifying... And Aktu, he"s gone crazy, he"s lost his mind..."
Lei Yu and Oracle Autolia looked at each other.
The situation that Xiaoqi described was undoubtedly caused by pollution. It seemed that the pollution had spread throughout the cave.
Xiaoqi"s face was filled with fear. He continued, "We saw the black fog coming out of the cave. We didn"t dare to stay there and ran. Those who were slow turned into monsters..."
"Where"s Aktu?"
"I don"t know. He seems to be still in the cave. There"s still a lot of fog inside. I don"t know his situation."
Lei Yu pondered for a moment and waved his hand to instruct the soldiers, "Take them down first. We"ll quarantine them outside the encampment and check the intensity of the pollution."
"Yes! Understood!"
The escaping players were just some random people.
Lei Yu and Oracle Autolia didn"t take it to heart.
What they were most worried about was none other than the game rift.
It seemed that the dark pollution in the game rift had spread outwards and even caused corruption.
"We are right. The internal situation of the Mundt Gang has changed. Be careful."
"Yes."
Autolia also had a solemn expression. She released the holy barrier to disperse the surrounding polluted fog for a moment before signaling the team to continue moving forward.
Soon, the team approached the headquarters of the Mundt Gang.
The fog in front of them was already seriously polluted.
"Military personnel, escort the prisoners back to the outer defense area!"
"Understood!"
The people from the military department left with the prisoners of war.
The holy barrier provided by Autolia could provide some protection for the team, but the resistance of the army players to pollution was very weak.
If they were to be contaminated and corrupted after entering the base of the Mundt Gang, it would only cause unnecessary chaos.
"The headquarters of the Mundt Gang is just ahead. There might be polluted creatures inside. Be careful, everyone. Let"s continue."
Oracle Autolia reminded everyone and expanded the holy barrier a little more before stepping into the headquarters.
It was a little different from what Autolia had expected.
The cave where the headquarters of the Mundt Gang was located seemed to be too quiet. The only sound in the cave was the sizzling sound of the black fog touching the holy barrier.
What about the humans who had been polluted?
Lei Yu carefully observed the surrounding situation and whispered, "There are no pollution-festering creatures. They might be hiding."
"After being polluted, most festered creatures will lose their minds. It"s moreover possible for them to leave the cave."
"Let"s ignore the festered creatures for now. Let"s go to the game rift and take a look."
"Yes."
Autolia walked in front of the team, breaking through the area shrouded in thick fog. She gazed at the cave that led to the holy land of the Mundt Gang. After thinking for a while, she persisted to move forward.
She followed the pa.s.sage all the way to the bottom.
The game rift!
Everyone noticed the game rift at the end of the cave in front of them and stopped again.
Black fog blended with pollution was constantly seeping out of the game rift.
"This..."
Lei Yu frowned and turned to look at Autolia.
Autolia"s eyes were moreover filled with shock.
Ten years ago, they had left dozens of seals here.
And now, the seals had been completely broken!
The Mundt Gang had actually destroyed all the seals they had left here!
Judging from the traces, the seals had been broken not long ago.
Rumors had it that the oracle of the Holy Court, Autolia, had used the power of a holy artifact to set up a powerful holy seal outside the game rift, ensuring that the game rift was safe and sound.
In fact, only those present knew that Autolia was not the only one who had set up the holy seal. In fact, they were set up by using the power of the Holy Court!
Unexpectedly, all the seals had been completely broken.
Who was so capable?
This was not the only strange thing!
Although the seals outside the game rift had been completely broken, the polluted fog that seeped out of the game rift was not very strong. It was even gradually weakening.
Autolia tried to get closer to the game rift.
"I can"t just leave it alone. I"ll try to seal it first."
Autolia and Lei Yu exchanged a few words and condensed a mark in front of them.
"Whoosh...!"
Sparks of Holy Light gradually appeared around Autolia.
Under the control of her mental power, the specks of Holy Light gathered outside the game rift, forming a dark golden ball around it.
The spherical barrier completely enveloped the game rift.
Not a single bit of the polluted black fog oozed out of the barrier.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this.
After being purified by the holy power, the concentration of the polluted fog in the cave began to decline rapidly.
