Chapter 429: Accident at the Base

"Will you be fair?" Tang Bai looked at him sternly.

"Yes, I will find the culprit." Lu Weiyi turned his gaze towards the people who were wailing in pain due to the zombie energy. "They followed me out because they supported and believed in me. I will use the blood of the schemer to make up for their pain."

Tang Bai only pondered for a few seconds, then stopped the excited person behind him and said, "I believe you."

"Base Commander..." Someone was dissatisfied.

"Save people first," Lu Weiyi said, "Bring all those affected by the zombie energy to the hall."

Li Zhuang immediately led all those who were not implicated to move the crowd. Lu Weiyi cut a wound on everyone's body and instructed them to discharge the zombie energy that could not be discharged from their bodies through the wound.

Several S-level psychics just felt uncomfortable, the A-level ones had obvious skin changes, and the B-level ones were developing rapidly. Many people had already shown symptoms of zombies, and their own superpowers began to become out of control.

It seems that the zombies used by the other party are at least A-level zombies.

The zombies that were higher in level than him were too ferocious, and the possibility of survival was extremely low. Even with Lu Weiyi's guidance and help, only five of the 126 B-level psychics survived.

When they turned into zombies, Lu Weiyi took action to deal with them.

One hundred and twenty-one bodies were neatly arranged in the hall. The sound of crying and sobbing could be heard everywhere, accompanied by the artillery fire not far away, silently announcing to everyone the cruelty of the turbulent times.

"Base commander, won't you help them get revenge?" A young girl looked up at Lu Weiyi, as if asking a silent question.

"Yes." Lu Weiyi took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and asked about the specific events that had occurred.

"I don't know. We were halfway through our meal when this happened." Li Zhuang reacted the fastest. He was the one who rushed out from the pile of zombies. He understood what happened at a glance, but he didn't expect it to appear in the food.

The first thing they did was to arrest all the people they had come into contact with.

"Not everyone who ate had problems. It shouldn't be a problem with the big pot of food." There are ordinary people in their team. Lu Weiyi is always wary of imported things. From the beginning, he arranged for reliable personnel from the military to cook.

"They must be people from the Pingjin base. They came at this time instead of earlier or later. And as soon as they arrived, something happened. Who would believe that they are innocent?" a young man was indignant.

"Yes, he definitely has bad intentions," the person next to him echoed.

"We shouldn't help them."

"Kill them all and avenge our dead brothers."

"Kill them."

"Revenge for my brother."

Under the heated atmosphere, those who had lost their loved ones soon started shouting in anger, and some even wanted to run towards the direction of the personnel at the Pingjin base, as if they wanted to die together.

"I didn't see anyone approaching," a cold female voice suddenly sounded, expressing a completely different opinion.

"Bai Mei, can you pay attention to everyone by yourself?" asked the man who spoke at the beginning.

"Could there be a new lover you've fallen in love with there?" a girl next to the man asked sarcastically.

"It's Zhu Yue, the captain of the Cinnabar Mole team," Ye Jia came closer and introduced him to Lu Weiyi.

Lu Weiyi frowned. What kind of team name is this?

"What a bloody drama. He and Baimei from the White Rose Team used to be lovers. After the apocalypse, he awakened his superpowers and reunited with his first love. He then dumped her and reconciled with his first love. The one who just spoke is called Xue Qi. It turns out that Baimei also awakened her superpowers, and it's a fire-type with good combat power."

A white rose and a cinnabar mole, this is really a tit-for-tat match.

At last, Ye Jia suddenly whispered, "Actually, I didn't see them come over here. All the people who had problems were from the team that Chen Xing of COFCO was in charge of. They were sitting together on the north side. I suspect something happened after the meal, because I also ate that pot of food."

Li Zhuang heard what he said, nodded in agreement, pointed at a few people who were being pinned down and said, "They are preparing the meals delivered by the logistics department."

"It's not me, base commander. I was out with the team and did nothing." A woman spoke first. She looked weak and started crying as she spoke, looking quite pitiful.

"I don't have time to interrogate you." Lu Weiyi stretched out his hand to interrupt the person who was still mocking Bai Mei.

"So let's just do it."

"During special periods, the base will compensate those who suffer for no reason."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spiritual threads in Lu Weiyi's body reached out to the dozen or so people who were suppressed. The invisible threads weaved into a net, tightly covering the other party's heads, and then penetrated through the seven orifices.

Several people seemed to feel something entering their brains. They shuddered unconsciously and looked around. After a moment, their thoughts began to become blurred and their eyes became dull.

"Ji..." Xue Qi, who was chattering non-stop, was about to speak again, but Lu Weiyi looked at her coldly and warned her, "Don't let me hear any more sound."

Xue Qi took a step back embarrassedly and hid behind Zhu Yue.

Lu Weiyi's mental threads continued to weave, as if he was weaving a dream for everyone. After making sure that there would be no problems for the time being, he glanced at Li Zhuang, who immediately waved his hand and led a dozen people into different rooms.

Ten minutes later, a few inexplicable people came out behind Li Zhuang, and it was visibly that there were two fewer people.

"Cooperate with the investigation." As soon as Li Zhuang finished speaking, the people in charge of escorting him quickly entered the crowd and suppressed all the people near Zhu Yue.

"What are you doing? I've been helping the base fight the zombies. Why are you arresting me?" As Zhu Yue struggled, there was a rustling sound of metal around him, but Lin Mo, who also had a metal element, quickly suppressed it and no damage was caused.

"Let me go"

"Does the base commander want to protect the people from the Pingjin base?"

Amidst the questioning, Li Zhuang brought out the two people who were still detained inside.

Compared to the others who were awake, their expressions were still dull.

"Repeat what you just said," Li Zhuang said.

Under the guidance of mental power, a man and a woman explained in detail the process of how they secretly mixed zombie tooth powder into food, even down to the number of bowls in total.

At the end he explained, "It was the captain of Crimson Mole who gave us the zombie teeth."

"They are talking nonsense, I don't know them at all," Zhu Yue argued loudly and struggled hard.

Lu Weiyi didn't want to listen to them anymore, so he used his mental power to control a group of people again and asked Li Zhuang to continue the trial. During this time, he asked Xu Yi to provide some treatment to the people in the Pingjin base.

"Base Commander..." Ye Jia looked at all the relevant team members in the hall being escorted away. Just as he was about to say something, Yu Mengchu, who had been standing behind him, slapped him hard on the shoulder.

The interrogation went on very quickly. Not long after, Li Zhuang came out with Zhu Yue, whose nose and mouth were covered in blood, and looked grim. "Something happened."

"Hahaha, it's too late for you to rush back now. The base must have been occupied long ago." Zhu Yue was already sober and had no intention of struggling at this moment. "Just let us go quickly. I can plead for you when we go back."

"It's your mistress's fault for taking the bait. An ordinary person who relied on her body to get to the top and wanted to be respected, but she couldn't stand a few words from us and jumped into our trap obediently. Hahahaha..."

"By now, the Ping An team would have probably already controlled them all."

Ye Jia and Chen Xing were both shocked by this sudden news. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Du Ping cooperate with you if he successfully upgraded himself?" Ye Jia was young and lost his temper.

"Haha, he has so many people under his command, doesn't he want to upgrade? Relying on the purification crystal cores exchanged at the base, how long can it take to upgrade to SS level? Besides, can the number of crystal cores required for upgrading to SS level be easily obtained?"

"There is a chance to directly control the purification crystal core. If it's your turn, do you want it?" Blood was dripping from the corner of Zhu Yue's mouth. There was blood on his teeth, and he looked extremely ferocious.

"You are stupid. You actually deployed all the weapons in the base here. Without weapons in the base, who can you fight with those psychics?" Zhu Yue seemed to be watching another joke. "You think an ice wall can stop everyone? You have water psychics, don't others have them?"

Seeing Lu Weiyi's ugly face, Zhu Yue looked like a villain who had succeeded in his duty, "Captain Lu, I advise you not to do it. Think about your mistress and son. Can their ordinary bodies withstand the zombies... um..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Weiyi, who seldom attacked others, kicked him. With the help of his SS-level supernatural power, Zhu Yue was embedded in the wall, and blood seemed to be pouring out of the corners of his mouth.

Still not satisfied, Lu Weiyi reached out to the other party and suddenly clenched his five fingers. Zhu Yue's dull face immediately became ferocious. He struggled to fall from the wall, covering his head with his hands and howling in pain.

Lu Weiyi glanced at the other members of the Cinnabar Mole Team, and they all retreated immediately.

"We have nothing to do with him."

"We know nothing."

"Base commander, we are fighting the zombies together, and we really don't know anything."

Lu Weiyi clenched his fists tightly and was about to attack, but Li Zhuang stopped him and said, "Try to find a way to go back first, the situation is a bit unexpected."

Lu Weiyi suppressed the anger and anxiety in his heart and said, "Everyone gather in the car immediately and return to the base in fifteen minutes."

"Don't do that yet," Li Zhuang suddenly stopped them and said to the people in the Pingjin base, "You'd better find a way to go back quickly. There are forces from your base involved in this, and they are colluding with some forces outside." He told them several names he had obtained through interrogation.

"We weren't deliberately plotted against, were we?" Tang Bai reacted immediately.

"Yes, I'll let you lure the zombies here to delay our departure. It would be best if we could put the blame on you, kill someone with a borrowed knife, and achieve three goals at one stroke." Li Zhuang didn't explain any more.

When Tang Bai heard this, he knew that the other party might have more than one force, and who knows how many people were involved. He didn't care about the previous dispute for the moment and quickly organized people to prepare for evacuation.
