chapter-297

After sensing this, the girl's expression began to become quite unsightly.

She suddenly felt that for her to have been able to escape this place and survive meant that she had been incredibly lucky.

From the density of the energy here, even if she merely stepped into here, it would be expected for her to instantly die.

However, she had not died and instead escaped from here, and she had survived until she had met Chen Heng.

In a sense, this meant that her luck was incredibly good.

Of course, what made her feel even more surprised was Chen Heng's performance.

Even though the energy density was 1,000 times higher than in the outside world, Chen Heng did not seem like he was under any pressure at all maintaining the barrier around them.

If it wasn't for the measuring instruments, the girl would have no idea this place was so terrifying.

"Stop staring…" Chen Heng shook his head and said softly, "Let's go…"

Following this, he headed forwards.

...

At that moment in the underground world.

Looking at the scene on the screen, everyone's expressions were serious.

In front of the massive control desk, all of the researchers looked incredibly serious as they stared.

"Kelong Mountain…" the middle-aged man in charge muttered to himself with a grave look.

"Sir, there are some problems with the broadcast…"

Someone came up and reported, "It seems to be because of the unknown energy, but the broadcast seems to be stuttering and is no longer clear…"

"Do your best to adjust it; we have to see what is inside…"

The middle-aged man raised his head and said seriously, "No matter what you have to do, you have to achieve it. This is the closest we've come to one of the original locations since the beginning of the catastrophe.

"If we miss this opportunity, it will be almost impossible to see what is inside in the future!"

The government also had its attention on those places.

After the catastrophe began, the government had been closely monitoring those locations.

They had sent many people there, wanting to know what it was like within.

However, everything they had tried had been useless.

Those places were like black holes; no matter how many people they sent in, very few people came out.

If that was it, it would not be a big deal.

Even if they could not send people in, they could use other measures to investigate.

However, there were also problems in that regard.

Because of the unknown energy, many of their methods were rendered useless.

Under normal circumstances, even if they tried to send satellites to investigate, all they would see was static.

Everyone felt incredibly helpless and frustrated, but there was nothing that they could do about it.

Now that the Protagonist had entered, he seemed to have suppressed the unknown energy in the surroundings, so this gave them the opportunity to see what was inside.

As such, everyone took this seriously and did not want to miss out on this opportunity.

They knew that if they missed this chance, it would be difficult to obtain another one.

Standing there and looking at the screen, the middle-aged man sighed.

"What a pity…" he felt quite disappointed.

Back then, he had submitted an application to take a team to meet with the Protagonist on the surface.

It would be best if they could bring him back.

However, just as he submitted his application and while it was still being discussed, the Protagonist had already entered that place.

Undoubtedly, as a place where the mutated creatures had first appeared, Kelong Mountain was a very dangerous region.

Otherwise, their expeditions over the years would not have all failed.

If the Protagonist entered and ran into anything, it would be quite dangerous.

When that time came, the hope of humanity's evolution would disappear.

Thinking about it, many people felt quite worried.

By now, they had already confirmed some things.

From the Protagonist's actions, he evidently still had human intelligence and reason and had even preserved his original emotions.

He had empathy and sympathy and would help other injured humans.

He was definitely a human.

This was undeniable.

Because of this, he was the light for humanity.

If they could obtain his power and research him, perhaps they could find the secrets behind his power and allow humanity to evolve.

When that time came, every person would be a super person, and the mutated creatures that seemed too difficult to deal with would not be problems anymore.

It was a pity…

Looking at the screen, the middle-aged man sighed as he thought to himself.

As he watched on, Chen Heng's figure was still progressing.

Right now, he was on a personless street.

The street looked quite old and was covered with junk.

Occasionally, they could see some withered corpses on the sides of the streets.

It seemed that when the catastrophe had suddenly begun, many people had instantly died.

Chen Heng's reaction was quite calm as if he did not feel much.

By his side, the girl looked much warrier and after reaching here, she continuously nervously looked around, seeming like she was greatly on guard.

Perhaps it was because of her prior experiences that she continuously felt that there was an invisible danger gradually drawing closer to them.

That feeling was quite terrifying, making her want to draw closer to Chen Heng and not leave his side.

They continued onwards and turned a corner.

After reaching here, Chen Heng suddenly stopped and looked to the side.

Under his gaze, he could clearly see a figure suddenly dart by as if it was avoiding them.

"A person?"

Looking at the figure that had passed by in a flash, Chen Heng frowned and thought to himself.

Following this, he continued onwards in that direction, wanting to see just what it was.

Following this, a gust of wind blew as a massive fist slammed at Chen Heng's head from the side.

Bang!!

An immense sound rang out.

Before the girl could react, a human-shaped crater appeared in the ground beside them.

Within it, the humanoid creature lay there.

It looked like a very tall and well-built person, but its appearance was quite different to that of ordinary people's.

He looked like a middle-aged man, but his eyes were red and his skin was somewhat blue-green and stiff.

Moreover, his expression was somewhat numb as if he did not have any emotions.

"This is…"

Looking at this person, standing beside Chen Heng, the girl stared and seemed to think of something, "A mutant…"
