While the Speed Mecha was being modified in a race against the clock, Lin Xinghai returned to the top floor of the outpost.
Although a mere three minutes had passed, the green poison fog in the distance had already expanded by more than tenfold and was now less than two kilometers from their outpost.
"Have you calculated how much longer it'll be before the poison fog reaches us?" Lin Xinghai asked a nearby observer.
"Based on its current rate of expansion, we have about eight minutes," the observer quickly reported.
"Mm," Lin Xinghai nodded, then looked to Zhang Yue at his side. "How much longer for my Mecha's modifications?"
"Even though it's just some simple adjustments and fitting new parts, it'll still take at least five minutes."
Zhang Yue's brow furrowed as he watched the green poison fog billow ever closer. "By then, you might have to fight deep inside that fog for the entire mission. Visibility will be extremely limited. Are you sure that's okay?"
