Chapter 517: Wood Element Rescue

"Captain Li, this..."

The surrounding environment was completely destroyed by these people, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and flesh.

"Tell the psychics to throw the bodies far away. If no one takes them away tomorrow morning, burn them all." This place is the most suitable place after Li Zhuang selected it. It is not worth changing it for such a small thing, especially since the team that left will have to return to look for them, which will be troublesome. "Collect them up, and have someone be on guard against those people. Our backup team is coming, be careful not to get tricked."

"yes".

Everyone was busy with their own things. Li Zhuang walked towards a fighter plane that had just landed and asked the pilot, "Any reaction from the other side?"

As soon as the siege happened, Li Zhuang asked people to pay attention to the situation on Lu Weiyi's side. Even though he guessed that there would be no good results even if someone went there, he still sent a plane to be on the safe side.

"Just as you expected, hundreds of people indeed headed to the base commander, but..." the driver smiled, "they stopped several hundred meters away from the base commander."

"When the gunshots just now rang out, did the people over there react in any way?"

"..." The driver was silent for a moment and said uncertainly, "I seemed to see Lu Xi's body move, but I'm not sure if it was an illusion, because his body still maintained its original posture and did not change."

Not long after, the results of the interrogation came out, and it was clear that some people were inciting emotions.

"Can you incite so many people?" Those who left did not choose to return to the base. Perhaps the journey here had exhausted their courage. They stopped about a thousand meters north of the base.

Tens of thousands of people is still a considerable number. Li Zhuang was worried that the other party might do something shady again, so he specially mobilized a group of people to keep an eye on the other party.

Eric, who was in charge of the interrogation, had a frivolous look on his face. "Some of them have enjoyed the flesh and blood of people with special powers and gained benefits from them," so naturally they would be thinking about it.

Besides the benefits, ordinary people cannot eat high-level mutant animals. For those who have not tasted meat for a long time, the taste alone is enough to make them unforgettable.

Thinking of that scene, Li Zhuang felt a chill in his bones.

“Is there a mastermind?”

"Of course," Eric said a few names, "They are the people who followed Gu Sheng. The previous artillery attack did not kill everyone."

They had thought of this at the beginning. The underground caves were winding and interconnected, and it was impossible for artillery to kill all the people in them. It was not difficult for those who were lucky to escape.

But there were so many unexpected things afterwards that they didn't have the energy to confirm them.

Who would have thought that the other party would be able to take advantage of such a big loophole.

"Two of them are heading towards Lu, and the other seven are at Panshui Base. Should we go there? I can lead the team..."

"Are you too interested in Gu Sheng's affairs?" Li Zhuang looked at Eric.

Eric shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, saying, "You know why."

Perhaps Gu Sheng's condition did make Eric feel a sense of crisis, but Li Zhuang could not hand over the existing team members to a mercenary who was gambling with his life.

"The base is short of manpower now. If you are interested, you can bring your own people over, but--" Li Zhuang looked at Eric with a sudden serious look, "I don't want to be your enemy, so you'd better not target Yuebanwan."

Before Lu Weiyi got into trouble, the team was handed over to him, so he had the responsibility to be responsible for all the team members, especially some sacrifices that were completely unnecessary.

Eric raised his eyebrows, but didn't say whether he would go or not. He waved to Li Zhuang and walked away. Qin Yu followed behind him, her enchanting waist swaying gracefully.

It was already the next evening when Liu Rui led the team back. The increase in the number of people and the support of weapons made Li Zhuang finally relax. He was even more surprised to see Xu Yi standing in the crowd.

"Why are you here? To see me?" Li Zhuang walked past the few people who got off the plane first and went straight to Xu Yi, with a comfortable smile on his tired face.

"Carry out the mission." Xu Yi rolled his eyes at him, looked around, and stuffed the backpack on his back to him, "Brother Xi, I brought you some snacks."

Li Zhuang opened it and took a look. It was some sweet and sour dried fruits.

Xi Shi had been out on countless missions, but he had never given snacks to anyone on purpose. Besides, he had always been cautious and would not show his favorite food obviously, so Xi Shi might not even know that he liked it.

"Then I must thank Brother Xi very much when I get back." Li Zhuang stuffed the tent back into his arms and pointed to the middle of a pile of tents. "Treatment Xu, please help me put it away."

Xu Yi walked with his head held high and in a businesslike manner towards the tent that Li Zhuang had pointed out.

Seeing this serious look, Li Zhuang couldn't help but touch his cheek with his tongue and chuckled.

"Come back to your senses." Wu Yue on the side pushed Li Zhuang on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"I thought it was the team from below. The base is pretty good?" Li Zhuang asked suggestively.

"Knowing that the base commander is getting promoted, everyone is eager to keep their tails between their legs." Zhou He, who came down from the side, sneered and asked the accompanying personnel to pack up their things. He pointed to the man and woman who got off the helicopter and said to the deputy captain Zhao Li, "Zhao Li, find a tent for Comrade Xiao Dong and Mr. Zhao so that you two can have a good rest first."

"Thank you," the man supported the pale and weak woman beside him and thanked her from a distance.

"These are two compatriots from the guard team who came to help. They are Dong Xiaoxiao, a wood-type mutant, and Zhao Yu, a fire-type mutant," Wu Yue introduced to Li Zhuang.

Li Zhuang didn't ask any more questions, just greeted them and asked someone to cooperate with deputy captain Zhao Li to clear out a tent for them.

After settling down, Wu Yue looked around and said, "I wonder how long the base will take. It's not a good idea to live here casually. There are earth-type mutants in the team this time. Let's build a wall together?"

"I had the same idea. We were short of manpower before, so your coming is just right." Li Zhuang took the opportunity to check the surrounding terrain with Wu Yue and Zhou He. The three of them walked a little further away, making sure that no one around had any supernatural perception, and then they relaxed and talked.

"What's going on?" Li Zhuang asked while smoking a cigarette and looking around. Liu Rui walked towards Xu Sa as soon as he got off the plane.

In order to facilitate observation of the situation there, Li Zhuang asked a wood-type mutant to create an exceptionally tall tree, and built a wooden house directly on the tree as a sentry post so that he could observe all the situations there at any time.

Wu Yue informed Li Zhuang of the latest news he got on the way, "Mingxu means to get the bodies of the other people out first and out of this range. Before we find a solution, we can only let them recover on their own."

Li Zhuang made a "tsk" sound and looked at the weak young figure.

"The plane was shaking violently on the way to avoid mutant plants, and he got airsick." Although Dong Xiaoxiao was vomiting miserably, they were in a hurry to get on the road and could not delay, so they could only let the other party endure it as much as possible.

"Wait until she recovers, at the latest tomorrow, and then we'll give it a try," Wu Yue said, and reminded, "Zhao Yu is Zhao Qiang's cousin. This time he said he was protecting a little girl, Dong Xiaoxiao, and it's obvious that he also wants to find out the situation."

Seeing that Li Zhuang understood what he meant, Wu Yue said no more, "Give Captain Zhou some paper and let him draw the design. I will be in charge of this from now on, and you take me around to familiarize myself with the place."

Li Zhuang raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, then took out some paper and pen from Cong Space, not forgetting to complain, "You are so stingy."

Zhou He didn't care about the bickering between the two and took it sloppily. He even discredited his own drawing skills just to get an extra stack.

Li Zhuang couldn't stand his stingy look, so he gave him an extra stack. Zhou He immediately took it with a smile, "I've been waiting for you. Everyone in your team has a space now, right?"

"It's not that exaggerated. It's just a few fighters who often go out."

"It's so good to follow the captain. I can even eat minced meat to my heart's content." Zhou He muttered to himself, writing and drawing with his hands from time to time, and looking around from time to time.

Li Zhuang touched the tip of his nose and was embarrassed to say that Lu Weiyi only gave him a few space jades, and the rest were "robbed" by a group of robbers who secretly went to the Pingjin base.

Pity those who lost their jade space silently.

Li Zhuang mourned for them for half a minute, and felt that he still had a conscience. At least he left the supplies inside, unlike Antonio...

"In addition to the dormitories, we can open up some planting areas around them. The head of the base asked us to bring a few wood-type mutants..."

"Did Zhuang Mingxu say the specific time?" Li Zhuang heard that he seemed to be planning to stay there for a long time.

Zhou He looked up at him and said, "Even after Base Captain Lu recovers, Base Captain Zhuang means that we can use this place as our training base."

"Captain Zhou is painting here, shall we go to the back and take a look?" Wu Yue stopped him from asking any more questions in time.

The two of them walked a long way away before Li Zhuang looked at Wu Yue seriously and asked what happened at the Jealousy Base.

It has been basically accepted inside that Wu Yue is a logistics staff member. Now he has appeared out of nowhere and replaced Li Zhuang's position. It is hard not to suspect that something happened at the base and he needs to return.

"The base is still under control," Wu Yue took out several crystal cores with powerful energy and handed them to Li Zhuang, "We just need you and Liu Rui to level up quickly."

Needless to say, Li Zhuang immediately understood what he meant. He took it without hesitation and tossed it around in his hands for fun.

"It is said that Zheng Yi is purchasing high-level crystal cores at all costs, and even activated his trump card to go to the gathering place of high-level zombies. The purpose is self-evident." Once someone from the outside world upgrades earlier than their base, their base will be in complete danger.

"Zhuang Mingxu can buy you a maximum of three months. These are all the S-level crystal cores stored in our base. He lets you use them at your discretion according to your level. In addition, A-level crystal cores are supplied free of charge."

"Wow, do you need to pay it back?"

"Hmm..." Wu Yue thought for a moment and asked him, "Do you think that even if I tell you now that you don't need to pay it back, if Lu Weiyi regrets it later, will you be able to default on the debt?"
