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 twe...
Chapter 501 Hunting
Lu Weiyi hesitated and did not directly hand the mutated plants over to Taotao to deal with. "After the fighter planes take action, the others should keep an eye on any humans that may appear. Once they appear, they should be the first to collect information. If it is difficult, kill them immediately. Everything should be based on their own safety."
"In addition, we need to gather the S-level psychics from the two teams. When the time comes, we will deal with the psychic who is holding back here. I will be with them, but if an energy group appears with him, I will deal with the energy group limitedly. They can cooperate with each other whether using superpowers or weapons depending on the situation."
"yes".
After seeing off a few people, Lu Weiyi kept Ning Yuan.
There was silence for a long time. Just when Ning Yuan was about to ask, Lu Weiyi said first, "I may have to upgrade here."
"You have reached the peak of SS level?" Ning Yuan looked happy, but when he saw Lu Weiyi's frown, he realized something was wrong, "What's going on?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head, not knowing what to say, "I don't feel well. If something unexpected happens..."
Ning Yuan's face turned serious, "Are you just upgrading? What kind of accident could happen?"
"Just in case. I'm not sure what will happen. Before I succeed, remind everyone in the team not to rush to upgrade, and try to control and improve the overall strength first."
"Don't scare me, okay? How about I contact Mingxu and ask him to come over?"
"No need, maybe I'm just overthinking it." Lu Weiyi waved his hand and asked people to leave.

The next morning, the wildfire that had been burning all night was finally extinguished, but the expected bare and black scene did not appear, and the trees surrounding the mutant plant showed no signs of being ignited.
Although they looked no different from the trees before the apocalypse, the flames of the fire-type mutant simply could not burn them.
"Only the flame compressed by an S-level mutant can ignite part of it, and the burning speed is also very slow. Anything below this level is useless." Yu Mengchu had just gone to experiment early in the morning and reported, "I feel like those trees seem to have been strengthened."
"Then let's use them first. You bring fire-type mutants to support us and be ready to burn them to ashes at any time." Lu Weiyi looked at the several fighter planes that were already prepared and nodded to the commander-in-chief Ning Yuan.
As Ning Yuan waved his hand, several enemy fighter planes took off instantly, and the psychics also released their mental powers around them, ready to build a protective barrier as soon as possible.
“Boom boom boom…”
The sound of bombing echoed through the mountains and forests, and the nearby hilltops were shaking violently.
Just as the second round of bombing ended, the hilltop was covered with holes and trees were shattered and fragments were flying, when a huge snake tree nearly 100 meters high appeared at the center of the explosion.
This time, no one needed to remind them, the huge energy had already made people feel his presence, especially there was a handsome figure standing on the top of the snake tree, who seemed to be standing in mid-air in everyone's eyes.
His body was entangled by a mutant plant in the shape of a snake tree, with green branches moving around as if alive.
"Open the barrier--" Ning Yuan ordered loudly.
A protective barrier composed of different mental powers appeared in mid-air, isolating the fighter plane from any possibility of contact with the man.
Lu Weiyi looked at the man on the snake tree through a telescope. He recognized the man at a glance.
The wood-type mutant, Gu Sheng.
He wore a black retro shirt on the upper body and a glittering horse-faced skirt on the lower body. He had a high ponytail combed to the side with a red headband casually hanging between his hair. Just looking at his outfit, it would be easy to mistake him for a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old. In fact, he was already in his thirties.
When Lu Weiyi met him in his previous life, he had established a base as the only wood-type mutant, and the location happened to be where Yueban Bay is today.
What Lu Weiyi had heard most about him was that he was a very powerful wood-type mutant. While most wood-type mutants were used to give birth and ensure logistics, he was an offensive mutant who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, became famous in the mutant conference in Kyoto that year, and became an idol in the hearts of many wood-type mutants.
Along with his special powers, there is also his love legend. It is rumored that before the end of the world, he was a rich second-generation with many lovers. The one who stayed with him the longest was his wife, Nan Qi, who was a cosplay enthusiast and well-known on the Internet.
The two were first love, and Nan Qi had been with him for a long time, but Gu Sheng, as a rich second-generation, gradually became dazzled by the world and began a dissolute life, but was unwilling to let Nan Qi leave.
After experiencing a series of threats, forced suppression of careers, imprisonment and other bloody events, Nan Qi ran away with their children, but who knew that the end of the world would come.
Nan Qi went through many hardships with their only son and finally reunited with Gu Sheng. Later, Gu Sheng won him back and doted on him. It is said that his outfit was based on his lover's hobbies.
As a melodrama in real life, Lu Weiyi once listened to the dealer telling him this story while eating melon seeds as a joke, the main idea of which was for him to cherish Zhuang Mingxu.
I didn't expect that in this life, his territory would be occupied by me, and he...
Is this considered occupying the mountain and becoming the king?
Lu Weiyi touched his nose, feeling embarrassed as if he had stolen something from someone else.
But now that the war has begun, there is no retreat.
Ning Yuan tilted the energy monitoring device in his hand towards Lu Weiyi, and a huge energy ball of several dozen meters in size was clearly reflected on it. "That thing appeared? Why does it feel much bigger than yesterday?"
"Well, the energy is weak," Lu Weiyi replied, "Count to three and ask them to remove the mental barrier, and at the same time the fighter planes will attack for the third time."
"Yes," Ning Yuan responded and quickly gave orders to the pilots in the air.
As he gave the order, a powerful rocket launcher appeared on Lu Weiyi's shoulder. As he fired, the impact force knocked him back a section, and he finally regained his balance with great difficulty.
The enemy fighter planes fired their shells at the same time, but the effects were completely different.
Most of the plants on the ground were destroyed again, but Gu Sheng in the air didn't even move. The rocket launcher turned in front of him and shot towards the sky, exploding into a huge firework in a moment.
"The energy fluctuated just now," Ning Yuan suddenly said.
Lu Weiyi nodded. Just before the rocket hit him, the energy in the snake tree weakened for a moment, and then gradually returned to normal.
"Consume his superpowers first," Lu Weiyi ordered decisively, "Tell those with psychic powers to be careful not to let the shells hurt our own people."
Who knows in which direction Gu Sheng will divert the shells fired at him, Lu Weiyi can only try his best to let them protect their own position.
With this little loophole, everyone around him picked up rocket launchers and shot at Gu Sheng continuously. Gu Sheng blocked them easily at first, but after a few times, he realized that it was consuming his superpowers, and the direction of the shells instantly rebounded.
Fortunately, all the psychics were on guard at all times, and with the assistance of Lu Weiyi, no casualties occurred.
"Be careful, something is approaching underground." Li Zhuang's voice came through the intercom.
At the same time, he who was standing at the forefront had turned over the surrounding ground, revealing the active mutant plants underground, with green branches and leaves. Upon closer inspection, the flowers on them were also green, which looked particularly strange.
"Base commander, I saw traces of humans. They were on the top of the mountain behind the mutated plants, at the landing place before the flames." Someone on the fighter plane that served as eyes in the sky gave feedback.
"Fuck it, just let them into the lair," Ning Yuan cursed, "I'll send someone to catch them."
"Let Qi Lin come with us and find a kid of eleven or twelve years old, that man's son." Qi Lin's only son was famous for being spoiled, so it was perfect to use him as a bargaining chip at this time.
"Received." Ning Yuan quickly issued a new order. Lu Weiyi turned to look at Tao Tao and asked him in a low voice the location of the crystal core of this mutant plant.
"Over there," Taotao pointed in the direction of Gu Sheng.
It seems that the other party only exposed the farthest branch.
"Increase the attack on mutant plants."
As shells continued to fall to the ground, Gu Sheng stood up from the snake tree. The strong wind in the air blew his clothes, making him look like a knight.
He suddenly let out a long roar toward the sky, and the huge amount of energy almost condensed into a ball of air that rushed towards the direction of the enemy fighter.
"Back off--" Ning Yuan screamed loudly.
Lu Weiyi's mental power, which had not been used, condensed into a big hand in mid-air and slapped it fiercely towards the air mass. After the two energies collided, Lu Weiyi found that his mental power had actually suppressed the opponent vaguely, and continued to slap him all over.
Are SSS-level psychics already so weak?
Lu Weiyi looked at the big hand slapping towards him like a mosquito, and he found it incredible.
Gu Sheng was probably also surprised that he did not resist at the first moment. He watched the huge hand attacking him, and the moment it touched him, he suddenly waved it away with his hand.
Turning his head to look over again, Lu Weiyi noticed that his gaze suddenly became stern. If he had been nonchalant before, his aura had changed at this moment.
He bent down slightly, then suddenly strode towards Lu Weiyi.
The man in mid-air did not fall because he had no support, and even the snake tree under him did not move. But with every step he took, the mutated plants that followed him immediately cushioned his feet. The plants were so thin that they could not be detected from a distance, which gave people the illusion that he was running in the air. This appearance alone was enough to shock people.
As he approached, the snake tree moved towards the mutant in another direction. Its main root planted in the ground split into roots like octopus tentacles, crawling and moving at an extremely fast speed.
"Pretentious," Lu Weiyi complained in a low voice, and walked towards him from the crowd, holding Taotao, who was curled up like a ball with her hands around her two thick legs.
"Lu Xi, take people to attack the energy group and delay time." He did not expect that they could destroy the huge energy group. The attack just now made Lu Weiyi realize that the entire energy group still relied on Gu Sheng for its existence. When his energy was insufficient, he would not be able to support the operation of the energy group.
