Chapter 1247: The Last Fragment
Noah discovered something very strange: although the atmosphere should have been tense, none of the people showed any sign of tension.
Occasional heavy thuds came from above, yet everyone inside the RV sat leisurely on the sofas; Gu Yanqi even brewed a pot of tea and brought it out.
Mu Mu was also curious about this situation. He looked at Lin Yi and asked, "Aren't you afraid that thing on top will damage the RV?"
Hearing Mu Mu's words, Lin Yi blinked, seeming not to understand why he would ask such a question.
Mu Mu pointed to the roof: "Listen, surely it will break eventually."
Now Lin Yi finally understood. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't. When we rushed to City F earlier, about sixty or seventy infected surrounded us. Look, it's still fine. Don't worry, it won't break."
"Sixty or seventy?!" Mu Mu's eyes widened in surprise. Although those infected weren't very powerful, they felt no pain and would attack continuously without stopping. Such sustained attacks would cause tremendous damage to the vehicle.
One could say their car could at least not withstand the attacks of those infected.
Ning Chen pondered the situation inside and made an analysis: "I think there is a traitor among us."
Almost no one knew of their arrival; the only ones who knew were everyone in the Elder's family.
Just now, Ning Chen had released his ability to scan the area. The cleanup here likely took no more than two hours, and the surroundings were filled with various ability reactions.
"Huh? A traitor? That can't be. Anyway, I definitely am not, and Sister Yanqi couldn't be, and Facing Huo Jinglin even less so. Look at his arrogant attitude; he couldn't betray us. So..."
As he spoke, Lin Yi turned his gaze toward Mu Mu and Noah.
One had suddenly insisted on joining their team; the other had stayed in this West District Base for so long. Either way, they looked exactly like the traitor.
Noah's brow twitched. He looked at Lin Yi; although his eyes showed nothing, the gaze still made people's hearts tremble with fear.
Lin Yi quickly turned his head and leaned even closer behind Facing Huo Jinglin.
Facing Huo Jinglin: "..."
Ning Chen glanced at the two of them, then shook his head: "It is not those two."
Hearing this, Lin Yi emerged from behind Facing Huo Jinglin, his face full of surprise: "Not them? Then is it someone who didn't come?"
Compared to Lin Yi's surprise, Facing Huo Jinglin began to analyze calmly: "At that time, I and Noah were always with Xu Ri and never separated, so his possibility is low. Moreover, the shock he suffered over this matter does not seem fake."
Xiao Han thought for a moment, then spoke after Facing Huo Jinglin finished: "We didn't separate either. Xu Yue never got off the car, so Xu Chenchen is impossible."
Suddenly, Lin Yi jumped up; it was obvious he had thought of something.
"That Mu Xinruan! It's very likely her. At that time, she was the only one who left everyone's sight and suddenly rushed up to the building as if possessed!"
After saying this, the scene fell silent for a time. Gu Yanqi covered her face, refusing to look at Lin Yi.
Her brother was still right there, yet they were already fiercely dissing her sister.
However, Mu Mu seemed very calm, showing no sign of anger at all.
Lin Yi also realized Mu Mu was present, and his face became quite embarrassed.
"I think what Lin Yi said is not without reason. Of course, the premise is that there really is a traitor. But such a coincidence usually cannot be called a coincidence. The possibility of a traitor is as high as 89.99 percent, so we must plan our countermeasures in advance."
Facing Huo Jinglin's words sounded like a neutral evaluation, but in fact, every sentence implied that a traitor was certain, and Mu Xinruan was almost certainly the one.
"So, how should we test?" Lin Yi propped his chin with his hand, his elbow resting on his leg, wearing an expression of deep thought.
"No need to test. If you say there's something abnormal, then Xinruan really might have a problem."
Mu Mu sighed and told everyone about the situation during the three days following that day.
That day, he had taken Mu Xinruan home, but once back home, Mu Xinruan changed instantly. She would stare blankly at one spot for no reason, and sometimes she couldn't even answer questions.
At first, Mu Mu thought Mu Xinruan was just scared from going out. But when he talked to her about past events, he found she was always perfunctory with him, and one could say she had no memory of those things.
Mu Mu even took Mu Xinruan to be examined by someone with a Healing-type ability. However, they concluded that Mu Xinruan had no problems; it was just that the ability inside her body seemed somewhat different.
After that, upon hearing that Ning Chen and the others were returning to the West District Base, Mu Mu temporarily put the matter aside.
"What should we do now? Could the Elders be in danger?" Lin Yi was somewhat anxious; he truly liked the Elders very much.
"No need to be nervous. Tian Ze is with the Elders, along with Xu Ri and Xu Chenchen. I think the Elder must have sensed something too. As for the rest, we'll deal with it when we return."
Ning Chen's words calmed Lin Yi's restless heart.
They could not leave yet; at the very least, they had to find the fragment of the Mount Mount Kunlun Mirror first.
"Xiao Han, test where the fragment is."
Xiao Han nodded. Then, a faint green light emanated around his body, corresponding to a powerful ability spreading outward.
About five minutes later, Xiao Han withdrew his ability. A drop of sweat slid down his cheek, which he finally wiped away.
"Found it. Keep going west; there is a reaction from the fragment."
Ning Chen immediately acted, starting the car and stepping directly on the accelerator.
The car, which had been listening quietly, suddenly surged forward. The suspicious 'person' on top, due to inertia, was violently thrown off.
The car kept driving west while Xiao Han used his ability to guide Ning Chen.
"Turn left at the intersection ahead."
"Keep going straight, then turn right ahead."
"Here, turn left then right."
"Stop, this is it!"
Ning Chen slammed on the brakes, and the car came to an abrupt halt.
In front of Ning Chen stood a building, a structure about three or four stories high.
Although the building was not very tall, its area was quite large.
Glancing at the windows in front, Ning Chen estimated that this side alone must have fifty or sixty rooms.
The situation inside was certainly not simple; after all, even before entering, everyone could already feel a strong sense of oppression.
Xiao Han's expression was tense; he had already sensed it—the remaining fragment of the Mount Mount Kunlun Mirror was right here!
Seeing Xiao Han's expression, Ning Chen also narrowed his eyes slightly, looking forward.
The last time the Mount Mount Kunlun Mirror fragment was used, it employed illusions, and many people fell victim to it. This time, who knows what this fragment will do, but it certainly won't be easy.
This will be a hard battle.
