Chapter 1986 - An Outbreak, Part Two (2/2)

“That woman dared to attack me. What are you all waiting for? Get her!” Gavin ordered the others around him.

“Colonel, I don’t think that’s a good idea. Let’s wait until the Vice Leader is back.”

“You’re not going to listen to your colonel!?” Gavin was enraged.

They had poked Gavin’s sore point when they mentioned Kuma’s name. A blazing red flame engulfed him. He was using it to conceal his Star Constellation.

The mercenary beside Gavin suddenly spat a mouthful of green matter onto Gavin’s face as he was about to complete his Star Constellation.

“Do you want to die!?” Gavin was infuriated. He glared at the mercenary as if his eyes were set aflame.

The mercenary fell to the ground before Gavin had the chance to do anything. His body was twisted in an odd way, like he was suffering from a stroke.

A few mercenaries nearby had the same symptoms. Their noses were blocked with the same green matter. It erupted from their stomachs when they tried to wipe their noses.

Only their nose was blocked at first, but their mouths were soon clogged too. The tense atmosphere suddenly felt weird when five mercenaries were having the same symptoms.

The afflicted mercenaries all fell to the ground. Even Gavin was lost for words. Why did it feel like everyone had been poisoned all of a sudden?

“Colonel, colonel, Parker… he’s dead… my gods, what’s happening to everyone!?” Tommy came over to report something when he saw the mercenaries falling to the ground.

“I…I have no idea,” Gavin was dumbfounded.

“Colonel, they are dying too,” Xu Luoqing blurted out.

“They are the ones who fell ill before!” A mercenary quickly noticed the connection between those who were having the symptoms.

“Didn’t they recover?”

—

The others who went scouting returned to the camp after receiving the news.

When they made it back to the camp, they saw over a dozen dead bodies on the ground, each with green matter pouring out of their eyes, noses, mouths, and ears.

Even Kuma was shocked. So many of her men had died so suddenly!

“It seems like only those who were ill before have died…” Warner murmured.

“You assh***, didn’t you say the Mountain Frost Lotus could treat them? Why are they all dead now!?” Kuma snarled. She almost had the urge to feed Warner to her Man-Eating Flower.

“I have no clue either! Nothing on Tianshan Mountain makes any sense!”

The mercenary group was troubled by the strange deaths. It was scarier than the sickness that had been troubling them previously. Not a single person who had fallen ill before had survived, including those with outstanding cultivation.

“By the way, Vice Leader, not one of the members on the ninth team has died,” Tommy noticed.

Kuma led her men over to the ninth team. Ai Jiangtu, Lingling, Mu Ningxue, and the others were alive, but they had yet to fully recover from the sickness.

“I need an explanation!” Kuma glanced at the ninth team coldly.

“I’ll give you one,” Mo Fan had just come back from a trip into a deep canyon, and had a hard look on his face.
