Chapter 35: Courting Death

Meanwhile.

Less than a hundred meters away from the murky waters where Han Ning was, inside a crooked hotel building, two figures faintly appeared behind a cracked window.

"Looks like another Awakened drawn here by the ships at Bailu Port. His abilities... seem somewhat interesting," said a young man with mid-length hair, wearing a dark jacket. He stood sideways, peering cautiously out through a gap in the broken window, his gaze locked in Han Ning's direction.

"Do you think he can shake off the white mist's influence?" the man in the jacket asked casually.

"Hard to say," said the person standing close to him. He was much stockier, clad in a dusty gray hooded windbreaker with the hood pulled low, partially obscuring his eyes. Gripping heavily scratched military binoculars, he carefully observed Han Ning. "Even you and I can't resist the influence of these monsters. To break free from them, one can only rely on special Awakened. I don't think he has those kinds of methods."
