Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Five Days’ Deadline, Shadow Clone

"Currently, what is the status of the mutation over there?"

After Su Qi captured five Destruction-level powerhouses, Lin Nan was particularly concerned about the disturbances outside the city.

At this moment, he approached the team responsible for monitoring the mutation to inquire about the situation. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Even though he knew the monitoring team would report any disturbances immediately, he still did not dare to relax, constantly staying vigilant, fearing that any slight oversight might lead to new developments in the stalled mutations.

Just then, a staff member reported: "City Lord, we are constantly simulating data in our surveillance of the mutations."

"Currently, the collapse speed of the mutations generally remains relatively stable. Without any other sudden changes, it should maintain this state for at least five more days before stopping and causing the previous sweeping momentum."

"However, in the northeast direction, we detected some strange life forms resembling tree-shaped virtual shadows. Where these shadows appear, the collapse speed of the mutation noticeably slows down. This information has already been reported to Lord Su Qi."

"That’s good, that’s good." Listening to the staff’s report, Lin Nan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Five days, at least five days of calm, is the last period of peace Su Qi has fought for them.

Currently, as the mutations have stalled, large numbers of strange creatures have gathered near the line of collapse, wandering around, a terrifying scene visible even to ordinary people.

Many civilians, using homemade monitoring devices, continuously upload those horrifying scenes to the internet, sparking widespread public discussion.

Some hold an optimistic view, believing that if Lord Su Qi and his team can stop one invasion by the mutations, they can intercept a second, thus ensuring everyone’s safety.

Moreover, some believe that the sheer number of strange creatures gathered at the junction of the two realms is overwhelming, and a sudden outbreak would be even more terrifying than the last.

Elsewhere, in a small courtyard near the City Lord’s Mansion, although it appeared relaxed on the surface, every dead angle was tightly monitored.

Especially Lu Zhan and his group, whose bodies were firmly bound by the Holy Lock Ring, unable to use their Extraordinary Powers.

Despite lacking Spiritual Thought for communication, Lu Zhan and the others were extremely skilled, seizing opportunities to converse, whispering to a partner during a brief overlap.

"Lu Chengjian, this body of yours isn’t the original, right? Quickly find a way to help us escape."

"We’re all in the same boat now; we share the same fate. Don’t think you can accomplish the assassination task alone. That young man is more terrifying than we imagined."

Clearly, Lu Zhan and the others had great trust in their companion called Lu Chengjian, due to their deep understanding of him.

Rumor has it that Lu Chengjian, skilled in Shadow Assault, had remarkable survival skills and even once escaped unscathed from a Catastrophe-level powerhouse.

This was thanks to his unique Extraordinary Ability, allowing him to manipulate his own shadow freely, hide his consciousness within it in crises, and swap his consciousness between his body and shadow.

Some believed Lu Chengjian’s ability was close to legendary immortality, which attracted a Catastrophe-level figure, leading to his capture.

This marked his escape from a Catastrophe-level powerhouse.

But now, with his head drooped, Lu Chengjian whispered, "Brother Lu, you’re overestimating me."

"Putting your safety in my hands doesn’t seem like your style."

"However, you underestimated that young man’s strength. When I attempted to transfer my consciousness to my original body, it immediately caught his attention..."

Even now, Lu Chengjian was still shaken. At that moment, he felt watched by a terrifying presence, his soul warning him that any further movement would be detected.

So, he only dispatched a minuscule part of his consciousness.

Hearing Lu Chengjian’s explanation, the group was startled. They had assumed the young man took advantage of their vulnerability to capture them.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chengjian held him in such high regard.

Ning Zhengnan stood up anxiously, approaching Lu Chengjian: "Now is not the time to boost others’ morale at our expense. A newly ascended Destruction-level Transcendent can’t be that strong. Maybe he’s just particularly perceptive."

"Quickly think of a way to rescue us. Once my power recovers, I’ll definitely exact revenge!"

Lu Chengjian remained silent, offering no response.

As prisoners, he too felt anxious, but understood that impatience wouldn’t solve anything, especially at this tightly monitored stage.

Any misstep could reveal his last card!

At the same time, besides relying on Lu Chengjian, they also contemplated abandoning the mission and genuinely posing as rescuers.

After all, the fact that the opponent initially spared their lives indicated he wasn’t a ruthless killer.

However, they quickly dismissed this unrealistic view due to a significant uncertainty factor.

That uncertainty was whether there were survivors in the Tenth District.

If any survivors existed there, their entire story would collapse!

No matter what, abandoning an entire city at the beginning of the disaster, rushing thousands of miles to the Ninth District, just didn’t make sense.

As night fell, in the mutation-ridden land, an unusual movement arose. An incongruous shadow, like a black serpent, slithered through the darkness.

It quietly crossed the junction of the two realms, invading the real world silently.

Even Su Qi, closely monitoring the city outskirts, didn’t detect it.

Its life force was too faint; even Su Qi’s acute perception couldn’t identify every detail, as that would overly drain his Spiritual Power.

The shadowy serpent cleverly avoided all light, moving slowly in the darkness, sometimes even lying dormant for hours to avoid surveillance.

All this was possible due to information transmitted from Lu Chengjian’s original body. Although his body’s Transcendent powers were restrained, they were a symbiotic entity, sharing each other’s viewpoints.

This was their final means, demanding caution, as living eternally with fragmented consciousness wasn’t an option.
