"So happy..."

"Our next goal is..."

The civilians who had rushed out of the resettlement building were now lying in the mental bacteria swarm with excitement on their faces. The bacteria, which had been on the verge of extinction, rapidly multiplied again after invading their bodies.

Their vitality quickly faded, used by the mental bacteria to expand their numbers.

Their bodies had become a breeding ground for the bacteria.

Their appearance completely derailed the favorable situation in Shelter 73. The intense backlash from the collapse of the mental link caused the leading hundred nootropic evolvers to fall into a coma, including everyone else who had participated in the link, all of whom fell into a state of weakness.

"These bastards... I f******!" The commander watched the people who were actively flocking to the mental bacteria, almost gnashing his teeth in hatred. He unleashed all the curses he could think of at that moment.

He knew that with the actions of these people, Shelter 73 would be completely defeated in this war. The mental bacteria had now made a comeback, and the difficulty of carrying out another mental link would undoubtedly be many times higher than the first!

Because the collapse of the mental link had more or less affected the participants. Although he could still conscript some nootropic-type evolvers to guide them, the civilians' mental strength had been greatly extracted and mobilized, and they were now showing strong signs of discomfort.

"Ah, my head hurts so much..."

"What's going on? Why do I feel so weak?"

"I feel like I'm about to die."

Those who had been linked first in the shelter were now lying on the ground, swaying, their faces pale, their lips trembling, and cold sweat pouring down their bodies, looking as if they were exhausted.

They tried to stand up, but found that they had no strength at all, and their minds became abnormally slow and stiff.

During the mental link just now, they felt themselves become exceptionally powerful, merging with countless thoughts to form an unparalleled mental wave, but now, this wave had collapsed, and they had once again dispersed into droplets of water about to dry up...

In this state, could they form another mental frenzy again?

The mental bacteria, after making a comeback, were exceptionally fierce. They frantically counterattacked City 73. Soon, several more buildings fell, and more than 100,000 people were infected and fell into the illusion.

Seeing this scene, the commander issued an order to City 73 with the most resolute voice of his life.

"All compatriots, we have experienced a failure! But I don't want to give up, I want to try again!"

"We can die, but I don't want to wait quietly for the butcher's knife to fall like pigs and sheep. Even if we can't escape the fate of death in the end, I want to let out the most angry roar at it before death truly descends upon us!"

"All personnel, listen to my instructions and try the mental link again!"

"Note that this time, do not link those who have been infected!"

The commander's voice resounded over City 73.

And with his order, the 900 nootropic evolvers who had recovered some of their strength and had been infected before released their abilities in an instant. They wanted to try again and didn't want to sit still and wait for death!
