Five years into the apocalypse, Zhuang Mingxu, the strongest ability user in the safe zone, was killed by his so-called “family.”
Lu Weiyi, who had been indifferent to everything for over...
Chapter 478: Circling
"We are not familiar with this place, so you need to pay more attention on the road ahead." The golden eagle handed a high-power telescope to Song Xiao, as if he didn't notice anything unusual about him, and he also held one to observe the situation on the ground.
Song Xiao took it, observed the buildings and features on the ground, and gave directions in a low voice.
This is not a familiar area. It is easy to go off course at high altitudes. The aircraft can only maintain an altitude of a few hundred meters. The huge body hums in the silence around it, like a monster that breaks into another world, attracting the attention of all living things around it.
The mental power that Lu Weiyi emitted was sensitive enough to detect the detection of all living creatures. Without his reminder, one could see with the naked eye that mutant birds were flapping their wings towards the plane.
"Everyone, pay attention to the enemy attack. Sun Kai defends the left wing, Zheng Hong on the right, Li Ze in the rear, Meng Huan in the front, and Lu Weiyi protects the body." The Golden Eagle quickly made battle deployments based on each person's different abilities.
"receive!"
"receive!"
…
As the order was given, Lu Weiyi's mental power enveloped the entire body. Through his mental power, he could see that the originally mixed supernatural powers outside the cabin quickly made adjustments.
Countless sharp and tiny flying knives appeared on the outer wall of the cabin, always surrounding the wings at a distance of three meters. At the rear, unknown vines were entangled around the tail of the plane, flying like spirit snakes, so fast that no trace could be seen. The only thing that could be seen was the mutant animals being whipped and falling down.
The slender fire dragon seemed to have life, and it ignited the feathers of the mutant birds. Wherever the sight could be seen, balls of fire fell to the ground. The high temperature became the best combustion agent, and it ignited an area in a short while.
"Zheng Hong withdraw, Ai Ping try to put out the fire." The golden eagle looked around, and the fire system with strong attack power withdrew. The earth system was at a disadvantage in the air and could not find anyone to fill the gap for a while.
He sensed a loophole in their personnel.
"Xu Sa, fill in." As Lu Weiyi spoke, the direction that was evacuated by Zheng Hong's superpower was already swarming with a thick layer of mutant flying birds. The feathers of various colors were brilliant and gorgeous, and they were rushing towards the direction of the plane like lone wanderers.
Everyone in the cabin gasped, fearing that a collision would cause damage to the aircraft. After all, today's helicopters are non-renewable assets and their importance is comparable to human life.
At this moment, the mutated birds in sight suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, layer by layer, disappearing about two or three meters away from the helicopter. The entire plane seemed to be wrapped in an invisible barrier.
From time to time, everyone's eyes glanced at Lu Weiyi who was sitting quietly. Compared to others who were fighting hard against the enemy, he just sat there calmly, with his eyes slightly lowered, as if in a daze.
This was the first time that everyone had seen such a huge mental power being materialized, and the mutant birds used their bodies to force it into everyone's field of vision.
Seeing that the colorful birds could not get close, the people on the plane breathed a sigh of relief and gained more confidence in the trip.
Xu Sa responded and moved closer. Seeing this scene, he did not rush to use his supernatural powers to support. Instead, he looked outside with great interest, and asked Lu Weiyi beside him in a low voice from time to time, "How is it? How is it? How much is it?"
Lu Weiyi ignored him, but his mental power habitually glanced at the space. The half where time stood still was filled with various grains and vegetable seeds, as well as some things that were prone to expire and rot. The colorful birds that had just been collected into the space were piled up densely like a hill.
They still maintained the same look as when they were taken into the space, with their eyes wide open. Its wings were spread wide, and its beak was opened in a ferocious arc, as if it could pounce and bite at any time.
As the level increases, Lu Weiyi can now feel their still warm bodies and the hot hearts fixed in that timeline.
He decided to find a deserted place when releasing them later. Just considering their sizes of several dozen meters, they would easily get hurt if they struggled.
Feeling that the number of mutant birds was getting smaller, Lu Weiyi's mental power counterattacked and covered the surrounding area, taking all the approaching mutant birds and beasts into the space. The light in the cabin that was blocked by the wings of the flying birds that covered the sky suddenly lit up.
After resting for just a few minutes, they began to see sesame-sized creatures approaching from all directions at an extremely fast speed. There were so many of them that they could not see the end. They had thought that the number of mutant animals near Kyoto was already large enough, but after seeing this scene, they suddenly understood the meaning of being ignorant.
"Captain...Captain..."
There was a slight tremor in Meng Huan's voice in front.
"Everyone, prepare to attack," the golden eagle gave the order calmly.
No one spoke in the cabin for a while, and even Zheng Hong and Liu Rui, the fire-type mutants who were not allowed to participate in the battle at the beginning, were ready to take action.
The colorful birds completely submerged the small plane in the flock. Through the only window, one could see all kinds of gorgeous feathers at first. As they approached closely, the visibility of the entire cabin dropped rapidly until they could not even see each other clearly.
As the dim wall lights came on, Song Xiao's trembling voice rang out, "I... I can't see the ground and can't determine the direction."
The golden eagle frowned. The aircraft's instruments were still in a state of malfunction. The direction determined by electronic instruments had almost no accuracy. When entering an unfamiliar place, they could only rely on telescopes to find landmark buildings on the ground to determine the direction. This was why they had to fly at low altitude even though they were constantly attacked by mutant birds.
"Every fifteen minutes, I'll clear a gap for you to check the conditions on the ground. Can you do it?" The golden eagle looked at Song Xiao with suspicion.
Probably aware of the current situation, Song Xiao nodded without raising any objections.
As they sailed further and further southwest, the mutant birds appeared more and more. At first, with the help of other crew members in the cabin, they could occasionally find some time to check the route, but gradually the mutant birds almost completely surrounded them.
Lu Weiyi's mental power initially wrapped around the entire plane in a circle, then gradually changed into a shuttle shape, reducing the possibility of mutant birds and beasts colliding with it.
Compared to Song Xiao who needed to push aside the obstructions to observe the ground, Lu Weiyi's mental tentacles could easily penetrate the layers of mutant animals and observe the situation on the ground in the first place, so he could naturally see the destroyed base clearly.
There is a base with towering walls on the ground. The dilapidated walls can still reveal their original appearance. Zombies are wandering aimlessly in dense numbers, with a mechanical feel all over their bodies, as dull and inert as machines that have not been activated.
But the buzzing sound of the plane seemed to wake them up, and tens of thousands of zombies looked up.
Even though you can't see the expressions on their faces, their tricky movements, as if their heads could break off at any moment, are still creepy.
Lu Weiyi, who had been observing the situation with his eyes slightly lowered, was stimulated by the scene and leaned back unconsciously.
"What's wrong?" Xu Sa, who knew what he was doing, noticed it the first time.
"How many people died after the destruction of the Xinghai Base?" Lu Weiyi asked with pursed lips.
"...Eighty percent," the golden eagle replied, and then countless palm-sized blades suddenly exploded around the plane, instantly clearing a field of vision below.
The crowded zombies stretched out their arms and jumped towards the direction of the plane, and some even had supernatural powers and flew towards the sky. As the plane left, the zombies surged after it, leaving a long stream of people.
Zombies were everywhere in sight. They were crowded together and piled up, building human ladders dozens of meters high along the towering city walls. I caught a glimpse of them out of the corner of my eye and my heart was pounding.
“Only a few people with slightly higher levels of supernatural powers managed to escape from death,” the Golden Eagle said in a heavy tone.
"They were a very united base, but ended up like this. This also made it difficult for several bases that were besieged by zombies to work together later."
Even though they were united, they ended up like this. It is not difficult to imagine what will happen to humanity in the future if the various bases do not unite.
Perhaps the present of these people is their future.
In a short while, the plane flew out of the range of the Xinghai base, and the chasing zombies gradually decreased. Everyone's attention was returned to the mutant birds that had gathered again.
The situation was more severe than planned, and their progress was not smooth. The excessive consumption of their superpowers and the reduction in visibility made Meng Huan and Golden Eagle pay attention to landmarks from time to time at the beginning, until the team members' superpowers were gradually overdrawn.
Both of them focused their energy on supporting their teammates. While Lu Weiyi was protecting the entire plane, he also needed to allocate some of his mental energy from time to time to help vacant positions. The control of direction fell entirely on Song Xiao alone.
By the time Lu Weiyi realized that the big tree below looked very familiar, night had already fallen, "We've been here before."
After being in power for a long time, even if his sense of direction is not good and he is not sure what he sees, his words will still be in an affirmative tone.
It was this determination that made Song Xiao, who had been directing the direction, panic for a moment, and he retorted almost reflexively, "No."
Compared to his timid attitude, this answer was too decisive and immediately attracted the attention of others.
"Captain, we seem to have arrived...?" Xia Ming's voice came through the headset in the cockpit. There was doubt in his tone, which diverted the golden eagle's attention.
The golden eagle absorbed the crystal core with one hand, manipulated the metal to split a field of vision, and looked underground with a telescope.
There was a circle of bare rocks, and there was indeed no vegetation within a radius of dozens of meters. The trees on the mountains a little further away were no different from those before the end of the world. Having been used to seeing trees towering into the clouds, this scene seemed a little strange.
Night had fallen by then and it was unsafe to continue driving, so Xia Ming waited for the golden eagle to make a decision.
The golden eagle hesitated for only a moment, and then "landed".
"Received, ready..."
As Xia Ming responded, the plane had already headed in the expected direction.
"etc……"
Before Lu Weiyi could stop him, a winding branch suddenly appeared between the trees, leaped up with lightning speed, and attacked the plane. It even successfully shattered Lu Weiyi's mental barrier and hit the plane.
