Chapter 190: War

Her explanation was not good enough. None of them actually believed her. Luo Yuan did not believe a person could remain kind and honest after going through so many tough times in their life, especially during wartime. Just like him, most of them had not completely revealed their powers. He had not told them that he was actually very good at using a knife, or that there was a weakness to his power.

It was difficult to fully trust anyone, and the fact that the woman had the power to control minds only increased their fear of her. Wang Shishi naturally moved a little closer to Luo Yuan while she kept looking at the woman critically. The soldiers also kept looking at her in alert.

The atmosphere was obviously heavy. The Colonel suddenly said, “Mu Wenwen, I heard that you'd been brought into the base by a team. Your performance has been quite good, which shows that you’re a reliable person. Power and attitude are two different things. As long as you don’t break the rules, you’ll be fine.”

The woman, whose name was Mu Wenwen, remained silent. She only raised her chin and looked at them, before quickly lowering it again. Her eyes were so beautiful and charming that Luo Yuan found them irresistible. He immediately warned himself when he realized that he had been captivated. That woman kept a very low profile. He had not even noticed her until the recruitment.

That was the first time he had met someone so powerful. She was even more powerful than Wang Shishi. She was not just able to control mutated beast, but light green mutated beasts. Light green mutated beasts were horrible. Luo Yuan had only managed to kill one himself.

As he thought of the risk of the current mission, he hesitated and asked, “Ms. Mu, your power will be very helpful to us. Could you please explain some more about it so I can adjust to accommodate you?”

It would be really good if the woman could help him from time to time. Even if she could only control mutated beasts for a while, that would be enough for him to kill them. If she could also control a green mutated beast, then they basically would not have to worry about the mission anymore.

Perhaps Luo Yuan had made a good impression on her, because she was actually willing to respond this time. She did not raise her head. Instead, she said softly, ”Actually, I haven't fully mastered how to control light green mutated beasts. Sometimes I'm not even able to do it when my emotions take over. I get distracted easily, and I can't control them for more than 30 seconds.”

Judging by her voice, she had to be around twenty or thirty years old.

“My power is quite similar to hypnosis. Many conditions need to be met. I can do it for longer if the creature I'm trying to control is a dark blue mutated beast,” she said.

“What about a green mutated beast?” Luo Yuan’s heartbeat became faster.

“I haven’t come across a green level mutated beast, but I think I wouldn’t be able to control it. Mind control increases the burden on my brain. I can hardly control light green mutated beasts, and green mutated beasts must be a lot scarier. I might go into a coma if I try to do that,” Mu Wenwen explained.

“In fact, the same applies to humans. We get more frustrated when we have more complex problems to solve, but we are a lot stronger than mutated beasts, so you don’t need to worry about me controlling your mind,” Mu Wenwen explained with a sigh.

“How many mutated beasts can you control?” Luo Yuan asked again. He was disappointed that she could not control green level mutated beasts.

“Only one at a time,” Mu Wenwen said.

“What about energy consumption? How many mutated beasts would you be able to control if you only needed to control them for three seconds?” Luo Yuan asked her as he thought about it.

”I'm not really sure, I'll have to experiment. I've never bumped into that many light green mutated beasts before. Is that your last question?” Mu Wenwen did not think that the current mission would be as bad as Luo Yuan thought, and she started to get irritated by his endless interrogating.

“I'm just asking so we can prepare and plan for the safety of others. I hope you can fully support me later on,” Luo Yuan said as he looked into her eyes.

Mu Wenwen agreed softly and then went silent once again. Everyone thought that Luo Yuan was overthinking things. Light green mutated beasts were hard to come by. Even the soldiers had not seen that many of them. In fact, they had only killed seven light green mutated beasts and one green mutated beast in the past two months when they had decided to check on the area nearby to reduce any potential risk. The helicopter was moving very fast. They were going to reach their destination in about ten minutes.

“Everyone get ready and take your parachutes with,” the Colonel reminded them.

“The helicopter is not going to land on the ground?” Fatty Xie asked in shock.
