In a haze, a circle of light enveloped a black sphere of light.
The closer she got, the more vibrant and colorful the surroundings became.
An Nuan inwardly cursed, finding it bothersome.
Why were there so many things obstructing her vision? She then carefully dodged other spheres of light.
She didn't understand why, but subconsciously, she wanted to approach the black one.
*Grasp it...*
This voice kept echoing in An Nuan's mind.
The black sphere of light seemed to sense something as well, slowly drawing closer to An Nuan.
"You're here? I've been waiting for you!"
"Waiting for me?"
An Nuan blinked in confusion and reached out to touch it. The moment she did, the black sphere of light merged into her body through her fingers.
Many images flashed through her mind, intense energy rampaging within her body before instantly calming down...
"Xiao Nuan? Are you awake? Try to open your eyes, can you see me clearly?"
So noisy...
An Nuan rolled over and slapped the person beside her.
With a crisp smack, the surroundings fell silent for a moment, followed by a few stifled chuckles.
Fu Yunting had taken a solid slap to the face.
He was about to die laughing!
Fu Yunting rubbed his cheek, "That was quite a slap, seems like you're doing fine."
"Brother, you should look at your face, it's hilarious!"
"Scram!"
Fu Yunlei covertly took a few photos.
Fu Yunting was considered lucky.
Brother Hu and Shi Huai had been blasted away by the energy earlier, and Lin Shui had almost had his ability stripped away.
Fortunately, An Nuan still had some consciousness and felt the presence of her own people, stopping herself in time.
Compared to them, the slap mark on Fu Yunting's face was a mere token of affection!
"Sister Nuan seems to be awake!"
Chang Kaiyong craned his neck forward.
Hai Changfeng pulled him back behind him.
"Be careful, she only slapped Young Master Fu. It doesn't mean she'll only slap us. Think about Lin Shui!"
Lin Shui rolled his eyes in the corner.
Why did others only get slapped or blasted away, but for him, it was an expulsion of power?
It almost felt like his soul was being ripped out!
Hai Changfeng casually picked up a feather wand and poked An Nuan's arm.
"Mmm~~"
So ticklish, a mosquito!
An Nuan unceremoniously swatted at it. She missed the mosquito but managed to wake herself up.
"It hurts so much! Oh my god!"
Hai Changfeng: What to do, I really want to laugh.
Chen Wenjing: I can't hold it in anymore, the boss is too funny.
Lin Shui: Funny? He's just stupid! He slapped himself and swelled up, so dumb!
An Nuan's eyes welled up with tears: "It hurts so much~~ Is it broken? It hurts terribly!"
"Don't be afraid, it's just swollen. Your bones are fine."
Fu Yunting suppressed a laugh and blew on her arm.
How could she be so adorably stupid?
An Nuan's tears were about to flow.
Who else could slap themselves awake in their sleep?
"Have a drink of water first to moisten your throat."
An Nuan took a sip, which was sweet: "Is this honey water?"
"Yes, I added a spoonful."
Ever since Shasha and Uncle An started dating, they had been producing a lot of honey.
It used to be a month, now it's a week.
The community drank honey as if it were free, occasionally getting a cup to sip.
An Nuan drank a cup of honey water and felt much more comfortable.
Her tail extended from behind her, the little heart at its tip growing larger.
Fu Yunting: "How does it feel to be Eighth Order?"
"Eighth Order? I'm Eighth Order?"
An Nuan didn't believe it herself, but her body did feel different.
The energy in her body was more substantial than before, and she felt in complete control.
This was Eighth Order?
An Nuan found it hard to believe.
Fu Yunting helped her up and gestured for her to look outside.
There was a thin, translucent black film in the sky. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to see it.
The film radiated outwards from Zone Three.
The entire area within a three-kilometer radius was covered by the film.
"You were unconscious for three days. The external temperature reached forty-eight degrees Celsius during this time."
"Forty-eight degrees..."
How could that be!
She didn't feel hot at all?
The air conditioning wasn't on indoors, and the breeze outside was pleasant.
The sunlight was still warm, and the color hadn't turned strange.
The outdoor temperature was at most thirty-one or thirty-two degrees.
Hai Changfeng said: "This film appeared while you were in a coma. It wasn't this large at first. After Chief Nuan completed her upgrade, the shape and size of the film became fixed."
"Chief Nuan, your Devouring Space seems to have mutated and upgraded."
An Nuan's mind raced with a thousand unspoken thoughts.
She had initially thought her devouring ability was just for killing enemies, and the secondary function was space connection and transmission.
She hadn't expected such a capability after the upgrade.
An Nuan: "Is this celestial? Or a barrier of some sort? Where is Jiang Yu?"
"Jiang Yu is already researching your dark matter. He wants to stabilize the energy of this film and expand it. Then, the film will be able to regulate the temperature and block UV rays without you needing to activate your abilities."
An Nuan felt like Fu Yunting wasn't talking about earthly matters.
It sounded like he was describing alien technology!
Luoluo flew in through the window, her head full of flowers and grass.
"Xiao Nuan, you're awake? How do you feel?"
"Luoluo, your head..."
It looks so fluffy...
Luoluo laughed: "Now that the UV rays are normal, my metabolism has become very fast. Lots of things have grown on my head."
Luoluo parted her hair, revealing two small nubs on her head.
They looked like the tips of deer antlers.
An Nuan was stunned.
Wasn't Luoluo a plant-type? Why would she grow deer antlers? Can anyone explain?
Fu Yunlei laughed: "My girlfriend is so diverse, isn't she amazing!"
Luoluo was also very happy: "I think it's fun too. I wonder if they'll grow bigger. It would be great if I could grow deer antlers!"
"That's good, we'll have free deer antlers in the future."
"Let's stew it with some other herbs, it's very nourishing."
"I never expected to eat deer antlers. Luoluo, you have to work hard."
Luoluo nodded seriously: "Yes, I will work hard!"
An Nuan: Everyone's imagination is so lively...
An Nuan carefully sensed the people around her and found that some of them had indeed changed.
Although Mi Shuangshuang and Yun Man hadn't reached Eighth Order yet, they felt different to her than before.
A few others also showed fluctuations.
It seemed they had all eaten the membrane of the mutated beast and were about to upgrade.
The whale fall was no joke; the death of one whale nourished countless lives.
"Ahem, excuse me for interrupting, but we had planned to upgrade to Eighth Order and then act against Brother Jun's base. Now that we have an opportunity, should we set off?"
Hai Changfeng took out the letter sent by Xiao Hang.
Because the previous attempt by the three major bases to control the smaller bases had been exposed, their losses had also brought them shame.
Now, the three major bases had assembled a joint army and were preparing to advance towards Big Bear's base.
Hai Changfeng: "The three major bases are very confident. They have issued a public statement, planning to launch an attack on the city where Big Bear is located in seven days, and then sweep through the surrounding smaller forces, under the guise of eliminating evil. What should we do?"
What to do? Fight them!
