Chapter 140: Fallen Angel

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The feeling of being covered by Black Mist was extremely unpleasant.

It was like being immersed in cold water while countless bugs crawled all over the body.

Lu Ming was not afraid of pain, but he was indeed afraid of itching.

This made Lu Ming very uncomfortable.

But soon, the uncomfortable feeling disappeared.

Because as the black mist covered Lu Ming’s entire body, it stripped Lu Ming of all his senses…

As if sinking into complete darkness.

No sight, no hearing, not even touch.

Even Lu Ming’s consciousness gradually became blurry…

It was unknown how much time had pa.s.sed.

It was not until a certain moment that Lu Ming felt his body having pins and needles, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

Beside him, the three girls moaned over and over again, but Lu Ming ignored their state.

Instead, he leaned against the car window and looked around, only to find that the surrounding environment had undergone a drastic change!

The original buildings and the Holy Tower had disappeared without a trace, replaced by desolate land and rugged boulders.

His field of vision was quite wide, but everything that entered Lu Ming’s eyes seemed gray and gave an uncomfortable feeling.

Soon, Lu Ming found the source of the grayness.

“It’s the sky… The sky is gray.”

Yes, the sky within the Black Mist Zone area was gray and there was no sun.

The source of the light seemed to be the entire gray sky above his head. Under the illumination of this gray light, everything in the entire Black Mist Zone seemed to be covered in dust.

“There was no one else or monsters,” Zhang Chengcheng’s voice came from beside him. Lu Ming observed briefly and nodded.

There was indeed no one else.

Within the range of his vision, other than this car and the four people inside, there was nothing else moving.

“I wonder if we’re lucky or unlucky,” Wei Lan said hesitantly and the other three also agreed with what she said.

Bai Tianyu had once said that the way to enter the Black Mist Zone was similar to random teleportation. But overall, it was still limited to a certain medium-sized area.

There were at least thousands of people who had entered the Black Mist Zone at the same time just now, but there were no live persons around Lu Ming’s landing point. This could only be explained by probability.

“What should we do next?”

Lolita asked in fear before looking at Lu Ming.

Wei Lan and Zhang Chengcheng also looked at Lu Ming – at this moment, Lu Ming had become the backbone of the group.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming said, “Let’s go find the ruins of the ancient city.”

That was the gathering place designated by the authorities within the Black Mist Zone.

Indeed, Lu Ming did not go solo, leaving the official group – because a stable environment was crucial to him!

This was in line with the official approach.

However, without a map and knowing the route, the only way to find the ruins of the ancient city was to do it the dumb way.

He had to search hard.

“Anyway, let’s start moving.”

As soon as Lu Ming said this, Wei Lan immediately started the car.

Accompanied by the creaking sound, the car moved, but it always felt like it was about to break down.

“By the way, Lolita, can you sense your mother’s location?”

Zhang Chengcheng seemed to have thought of something and asked Lolita. Then she saw Lolita close her eyes and soon she nodded,

“I can.”

She stretched out her hand and pointed to the right side of the car.

“That way.”

“The distance is …very, very far…”

Due to the lack of a reference point, Lolita could not tell how far it was.

But it was definitely very far.

However, one thing was certain.

For the time being, Lolita would probably not see her mother again.

At the moment Lolita entered the Black Mist Zone.

In another distant place, inside a rudimentary stone house.

There was a woman named Maggie, whose expression changed.

She sensed that her daughter had already entered the Black Mist Zone.

She quickly concealed the change in expression on her face. At this moment, Maggie seemed unwilling to let anyone see what emotions she was going through.

Unfortunately, the person beside her had an astonis.h.i.+ng level of observation!

“Your daughter has come in, right?”

On Maggie’s right, a tall white man asked with a smile.

His name was Anderson, the leader and strongest person in New York. He was a Level 7 Awakened.

Hearing Anderson’s words, Maggie gently bit her lower lip, but still did not respond.

Beside Anderson, a girl of eighteen or nineteen, wearing heavy smoky makeup, spoke softly, “I heard her thoughts. Yes, your daughter and the survivors from Nanxiang have entered the Black Mist Zone.”

Some things were destined not to be hidden.

Maggie remained silent, but Anderson had already gotten the answer he wanted.

He turned his head and looked at the center of the room, the most honored position. Anderson knelt down on both knees, flattering to the extreme, “Great one, the other group of people I mentioned earlier has already entered the Black Mist Zone.”

Right in front of Anderson, a figure over two meters tall slowly spoke and made a sound of agreement.

The deep voice exploded in everyone’s ears.

It was not English but a strange language. This language resonated directly in the minds of the few people present, allowing them to instantly understand the meaning of the words.

“Bring me there and you’ll live. Otherwise, you’ll die.”

Anderson quickly nodded, “Of course, of course.”

Hearing Anderson’s response, the figure nodded again.

Then, he walked towards the door.

Only when the light at the door shone on the figure did everyone see his true appearance clearly.

He was 2.3 meters tall, with human-like facial features. From his facial features, he was probably a male.

His body was covered in purple-black patterns, like clothes, covering up the vital parts of his body.

He also had hands and feet, but he only had three fingers on both hands, and his feet were not human-like either, more like the talons of a bird of prey.

What was even more eye-catching was his back.

A pair of hanging, gray-black bird wings grew from his back!

Overall, this creature looked like a human with eagle-like features, somewhat resembling an angel in Western mythology.

However, the New Yorkers who had interacted with these monsters for some time knew that they were definitely not angels sent by G.o.d to save all beings. They were more like fallen angels who had crawled out of h.e.l.l.

It was not until the monster walked out of the door and spread its wings to soar into the sky that Anderson looked at Maggie again, his expression becoming much more serious.

“Which direction are the people from Nanxiang in? Don’t lie to me.”

Maggie bit her lip lightly and remained silent, unwilling to respond.

Before the girl with smoky makeup could speak, Anderson let out a heavy sigh.

“The cruelty and power of those fallen angels, you know it too. If the people from Nanxiang don’t die, we will die.”

“Maggie, I know you’re kind, but in this situation, I have no choice.”

“The lives of the people from Nanxiang are important. Are our lives not important?”

Having said this, Anderson saw that Maggie’s expression was starting to change, so he continued talking.

“I’ve already told them a while ago that after they capture enough people from Nanxiang, they’ll include us in their protection. Just think about it. With their protection, at least in this area, our safety will be guaranteed.”

“People have to stay alive. Only when you’re alive can you think about other things.”

“When the time comes, you can bring Lolita over. This way, she won’t have to live in fear outside anymore. The two of you, mother and daughter, can be reunited…”

Tears welled in Maggie’s eyes.

She really wanted to find the best solution, but she could not find it no matter what.

It was not until the sound of flapping wings echoed in the sky outside that Maggie finally took a deep breath.

“I understand..”
