Chapter 117 Large-scale Mysterious Shopping Mall (21)

The doctor crouched down behind An Jing, gently covering the several hideous wounds on her back with his palm.

Blood continued to gush out, flowing down his spine, and reflected in the doctor's palm, appearing particularly shocking.

He spoke in a low voice, calm and indifferent, yet carrying an undeniable weight: "This poison is a bit troublesome. I'm not a specialist in treating this type of poison; I can only temporarily suppress its effects and prevent it from spreading further. But to completely remove it... we'll have to treat you after we leave."

Also, before you get out, try not to use your powers or engage in strenuous exercise, as this will cause the venom to spread. Once it infects your internal organs, even if you get out, the doctors outside won't be able to save you.

An Jing's back pain felt like it was being burned by flames, every inch of her skin and flesh was burning hot, and the gradually penetrating numbness was slowly invading her limbs.

Her breathing became heavy for a moment, but her eyes remained calm.

She gritted her teeth and lowered her voice: "Okay."

Just one word seemed to suppress all the pain.

The doctor remained silent, his palm surging into her body, temporarily sealing off the spreading toxins. An Jing could feel the black, icy energy bound to her spine, still stirring restlessly.

Meanwhile, outside the mall.

The sky was overcast, and the heavy, dark clouds made one feel suffocated.

He Lin stood outside the isolation zone, her gaze fixed on the dark, eerie magnetic field. Her fingers trembled slightly, but her eyes were filled with unwavering determination.

A week has passed since An Jing and the others went in.

But she knew very well that the flow of time was completely different inside and outside the mysterious magnetic field. What might be seven days outside was, inside, an unknown amount of time.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, the suppressed anxiety and unease in her eyes almost breaking through her reason.

"I want to go in," she said softly.

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a strong determination.

"Minister He!" A member of the research department immediately stopped him anxiously. "No! This time, once they go in, they won't be able to get out! Communication has been lost!"

"Yes, Minister, this isn't a problem that can be solved by orders. Once you go in, you might never come out again!"

"Please calm down..."

They tried anxiously to dissuade her, their voices mingling together, but they couldn't sway He Lin.

She simply pursed her lips, her expression growing colder, the veins on the back of her hands bulging.

She was already very tired.

From the initial waiting to the subsequent prayers, and then to the restless and oppressive nights, she was almost pushed to her limit. But no matter how hard she forced herself to calm down, one thought kept surfacing in her mind: what if An Jing and Yu Li really never came out?
The thought of this possibility made her heart ache as if it were being pricked by needles, and her breath trembled.

If they all died, Xin felt that he had no motivation, and no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn't know who he was working for.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

She can't do nothing.

Her fist clenched tighter and tighter until her knuckles turned white. She gritted her teeth, said nothing more, and simply turned and walked straight towards the equipment area.

This is not acting unilaterally.

Let her escape for a while.

"Minister!" The research team members panicked, but they still couldn't persuade her otherwise.

After a long time, He Lin, fully armed and alone, resolutely stepped into that dark and mysterious magnetic field.

at the same time.

The battle inside the mall remains fierce.

Youlong's attacks were like a storm, each punch and kick carrying a fierce force, forcing the black cat to retreat mysteriously.

The black cat's eyes gradually turned cold, its previously playful vertical pupils now filled with impatience. It moved swiftly, constantly trying to break free, but each time it was about to accelerate, the surrounding air would suddenly become turbulent.

Yunji's forehead was beaded with sweat, but his hands remained steadily outstretched, his mental energy firmly locking the airflow. With each attempt, his control became more and more proficient, the airflow forming invisible barriers that forcefully severed the black cat's speed advantage.

“It’s done…” Yunji said in a low voice.

He was already on high alert, constantly on guard against the black cat's sudden attack.

Sure enough, a moment later, the mysterious creature suddenly turned its head, its vertical pupils fixed on Yunji, as if it had finally discovered the "culprit" behind the scenes.

The next instant, it pounced!
Its claws were sharp and fierce, aiming straight for Yunji's throat.

Dong Qing's eyes sharpened; she had already noticed this scene. She suddenly raised her arms, and a thick metal wall instantly rose in front of Yun Ji, forcefully blocking the attack.

"boom--!"

The claws struck the metal, sending up a series of ear-piercing sparks.

Before they could even catch their breath, the black cat suddenly twisted its body. Instead of fighting to the death, it took the opportunity to break free, lowered its body, and transformed into a black shadow, instantly fleeing back the way it came.

"It's trying to escape!" Youlong roared and immediately gave chase.

Ke Youxin raised her hand to stop him, shaking her head and saying, "We can't catch up."

The black cat still has a speed advantage, and even with the clouds gathering and disrupting the airflow, it would be impossible to successfully pursue it in this terrain.

Everyone could only watch as its figure completely disappeared into the darkness.

After a brief silence, You Xin immediately stepped forward, her expression anxious: "An Jing, how are you?"

An Jing leaned against the wall, the pain in her back making her lips as pale as paper, cold sweat dripping down her neck. But she still shook her head, her voice steady: "I'm fine."

Youlong frowned and quickly walked behind her to check.

His face darkened when he saw the horrifying wound.

The three claw marks were so deep that bone was visible, and flesh was torn and twisted. Most horrifyingly, the surrounding skin had turned black, as if it had been corroded by venom.

"Are you alright?!" Youlong couldn't help but raise his voice, anxious and impatient. "The flesh on your back is all black! You call this alright?!"

Although he sounded impatient, you could also tell that he was indeed very nervous.

An Jing lowered her eyes slightly, her face pale, but she did not refute.

You Xin stood aside, stunned, and was somewhat taken aback by You Long's anxious appearance.

Youlong was always a free spirit, and although he cared about his teammates, he rarely showed such anxiety. Seeing the barely suppressed worry on Youlong's face, Youxin felt a slight pang, but said nothing.

Dongqing remained calm and stepped forward: "Let me do it, let's stop the bleeding first."

But An Jing reached out to stop her and shook her head.

"The doctor has already treated it; it won't spread for now. Don't waste your time."

Her voice remained steady, carrying an undeniable firmness.

"Let's go quickly, let's go inside."

She forced herself to stand up straight, her back still burning with pain, but she didn't mention her injury again.

A moment of silence fell over the group. They exchanged glances and finally nodded.

The group regrouped, and illuminated by the firelight, they continued walking deeper into the mall.

But no one expected that at this moment, He Lin had already broken into the dark entrance alone.

She was approaching them step by step.
