Chapter 71
“Professor Yin!” Surprised and delighted gazes suddenly fell on Yin Xubai. “Have you discovered any clues?”
“I suppose there’s been some progress,” Yin Xubai replied. After spending time together, he was no longer as aloof as before. He pointed towards the foggy area in the distance. “If I’m not mistaken, Li Fufeng’s intuition was correct. This fog isn’t harmful to us. On the contrary, it’s actually beneficial for the human body.”
“Over this period, I collected some fog samples from the outskirts and found that this gas has a clear nurturing effect on living organisms. It can eliminate fatigue, alleviate pain, and more. Due to the limited time, I haven’t been able to research its full effects yet.”
He added, “During this time, with Kun Mountain as the center, this special fog has been continuously spreading to the surrounding areas. We’ve all inhaled varying amounts of it. However, the concentration of the special gas in the air here isn’t as high as in the foggy area, and the efficiency of inhaling the fog while breathing is quite low. That’s why the effects weren’t noticeable in the first few days. You should be able to feel something by now.”
He reminded them, and though the others couldn’t quite believe it, they followed his instructions and focused on sensing the changes in their bodies.
“Wow! This arm of mine suffered a severe injury and the bone would ache from time to time, but it hasn’t bothered me these past few days,” someone said in amazement while swinging their arm. “I didn’t notice until you mentioned it, but it seems more flexible now. It’s not like before when I couldn’t use much strength in this arm.”
“Same here. I used to suffer from insomnia, but since coming here, I’ve been sleeping soundly every night. My energy levels seem to have improved a lot recently. Could this also be an effect of the white fog?”
“I suspect so. We’ve been running around investigating everywhere during this time, and the intensity of our activities has been quite high. Yet we’ve rarely felt tired. Based on my previous physical limits, I should have been aching all over by now…”
“I see you’ve finally noticed,” Yin Xubai said with certainty. Even with his calm tone, coming from him, it sounded like he was saying, ‘See, you’re not as stupid as I thought.’ He paused, then continued, “That’s why I said the foggy area might not be as dangerous as you think. From the beginning, because of the disappearance of over a hundred people and the rescue teams not returning, everyone assumed it must be a forbidden zone that devours life. But the reality might be completely different.”
