Chapter 605: Song Huai Faked His Death

Wu Yue and Zhao Lei didn't know what to say for a moment, but Zhuang Mingxu reacted quickly and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. It's already precious that your base has the intention to remind you."

"But this psychic has done a lot of bad things in our base. Can you hand him over to us?" Zhuang Mingxu's eyes were directed at the person they were dragging. He saw that the man was still alive. As long as he was alive, he could get more information.

"Of course." Tan Yun turned sideways.

The two men holding the man immediately stepped forward. Wu Yue calmly pushed Zhuang Mingxu to a slightly farther direction and stepped forward with full vigilance.

The other party seemed to have no ill intentions and simply handed the person over to Wu Yue.

The people have been captured, so the rest are not so important, especially since there are only three of them and the other side is almost three times as many as them, so they have to be on guard.

"Our base has been severely damaged, so we won't invite you in to rest. Would you mind leaving your specific address? We'll come to thank you some other day," Zhuang Mingxu continued to be polite.

Hearing Zhuang Mingxu say this, Tan Yun became visibly happy, "Of course, our Lord Mountain God has always highly praised the Yuebanwan Base, saying that it is a rare pure land in this end times, and everyone is welcome to come at any time."

She gave a specific address, which was no more than fifty kilometers away from the temporary base in Yueban Bay.

This made Wu Yue's heart skip a beat. They had less than two thousand psychics left behind. Although their levels were not low, it was still difficult for them to compete with a single base.

Even if there are S-level psychics among them, there is a base nearby that absorbs psychics' crystal cores for upgrades. Will there be a shortage of high-level psychics?

An alarm bell was ringing in Wu Yue's heart, reminding him, the person with the highest supernatural power among those present, to be vigilant.

On the other side, Zhuang Mingxu had already completed the process of greeting and saying goodbye to the other party, and the other party did not drag his feet at all and turned around and left neatly.

As they turned around, the passage merged into the ground again. Except for the fact that there was an extra person in their hands, everything seemed as if nothing had happened. It was so abrupt that it made people feel dazed.

Zhao Lei felt that the other party was really going away, and he still felt incredible, "Are they really here to show their love?"

Wu Yue raised his eyebrows but did not respond.

Zhuang Mingxu was sure that the other party had really left, so he turned around and said, "Go back first."

He glanced at the person who was unconscious in Wu Yue's arms and said, "Let's get to know our sudden new neighbor."

As Wu Yue expected, the escaped mutant was of the earth element. Among the many superpowers, the earth element is the one that has the strongest affinity to the land. Even if they are buried in the soil, their body's habit of the attribute will not make it as difficult for them to do so as it would be for others with superpowers.

Through his mouth, everyone finally knew what had happened.

As expected, their target was indeed Gu Sheng's body. Those who had captured the psychics before were just baits to lure away some of the psychics, making it easier for them to succeed.

"Why don't they know about these plans themselves, and they don't even know about Gu Sheng's existence?" It was the first time that Zhuang Mingxu met someone who could answer anything without him having to ask any questions. The interrogation was so easy that he even started to warm his hands with hot water.

"Hehe... maybe my level is not high enough." In addition to the supernatural jammer on his body, the man also had his hands handcuffed to the table. However, he was not at all nervous and was calm. He only showed a hint of disgust when he mentioned a few people.

This seemingly ordinary man has a supernatural power level at the top of A-level, just one step away from S-level. He is indeed qualified to look down on several people.

Zhuang Mingxu glanced at the other psychic crystal cores that were searched from him on the table - if he absorbed them all, upgrading to S-level would be a foregone conclusion.

It's a pity that the timing is wrong.

Zhuang Mingxu asked the other party about what happened this time again, especially how they knew Gu Sheng's body was here.

"The boss used to follow Gu Sheng. It is said that he was at the scene when Gu Sheng got into trouble last time, and saw with his own eyes that Gu Sheng was not dealt with. Later, we had plant-based mutants investigate, and found that Gu Sheng's body was always not far away from your base commander."

Zhuang Mingxu was shocked when he heard him say that they had been targeted by the other party without their knowledge. "Why didn't you take action at that time?"

The man glanced at him and said, "At that time, the base had not been separated yet. In order to fight against foreign enemies, we must first stabilize the country. The boss's attention was focused on stabilizing the internal situation and he had no time to spare."

He leaned back leisurely, without noticing the back of the chair, and sat back down again, complaining in his heart about their inhumanity.

"You, a person who digs out crystal cores of superpowers, talk about humanitarianism?" Zhuang Mingxu found it funny.

The man shrugged. "I'm almost dead. Don't I deserve hospice care?"

"How do you know you're going to die?"

"Will you let me live?" Without waiting for Zhuang Mingxu to answer, the man said, "Even if you say yes, I won't believe it."

Zhuang Mingxu really didn't paint that rosy picture for him. This man was too clear-headed. He committed the crime soberly, knew soberly what the outcome would be, and accepted it calmly.

In such a world, everyone has too many things that are beyond their control. Some people can stick to the bottom line, while others cannot. Zhuang Mingxu has never suffered from others, so he does not make any rash comments.

The man lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time. No one spoke for a while. He looked up at the bare roof. The surrounding torches made the small room dim, which looked like a dim future.

"From the moment I took my first bite of the superpower's flesh and blood, I knew what was going to happen to me..."

The man's name is Song Huai. He suffered from polio since he was a child, which affected his lower limbs and made it extremely difficult for him to walk. Fortunately, his parents loved him and had always been very good to him. They did not give up on him even after the end of the world.

He awakened his superpowers, but his health did not improve. His parents were both ordinary people. Seeing that countless people around them had a qualitative improvement due to the enhancement of superpowers, they believed that one day, the upgrade of superpowers would restore their son's health, so they struggled to earn crystal cores for him.

But the situation at the Panshui base was such that life was too difficult for ordinary people, and crystal cores were not so easy to obtain. They struggled to survive, but unfortunately their efforts did not produce any results.

"They didn't get to see me alive and well until they died." Song Huai's eyes were filled with sadness. "My mother died in my arms. She said..."

"She wants to see me alive and healthy."

"Let me live."

He struggled desperately with his mother's last wish in mind, until he met the current base chief of Panshui Base, who sent the flesh and blood of the psychics to him and told him that as long as he ate these with the assistance of special training methods, his legs would return to normal and his body would be strengthened.

Song Huai agreed with all his might.

"Did it really make your body better?" Zhuang Mingxu found it unbelievable.

"Really?" Song Huai said frankly, "Not only that, eating it regularly every day can increase my superpowers. I thought about it for a long time and felt that it must be the energy in the bodies of high-level superpowers that fills my body, which achieves this effect."

He smiled at Zhuang Mingxu and said, "It's the same principle as when people with special abilities eat mutant animals. As for the legs..."

Zhuang Mingxu looked across the table between them at his legs, but he was wearing too many clothes and couldn't tell whether he had really recovered.

As if knowing what he was thinking, Song Huai stretched out his legs, moved them in front of him, and whispered, "It's really recovered."

"What my parents had been looking forward to for more than 20 years, has finally been accomplished after their death."

"Then what's the point?" he asked softly, as if he was asking himself, or as if he was asking Zhuang Mingxu.

"Are you sure that the flesh and blood of the psychic can cure the sequelae of polio?" Zhuang Mingxu found it unbelievable. He was an ordinary person number four and could not eat mutated animals, but he had eaten a lot of mutated plants and had experienced the benefits of energy to the body. But if it was said that it had achieved a therapeutic effect... it was really far-fetched.

"As far as I know, polio is caused by a virus-induced neuropathy, right?" Zhuang Mingxu suspected that Song Huai was lying. "Are you sure you haven't used other means?" Such as a healing psychic or something.

But Song Huai just shook his head and said, "I've recovered anyway."

He looked at Zhuang Mingxu and directly pointed out Zhuang Mingxu's thoughts, "There are no people with healing abilities in the Panshui base."

After that, he continued to talk about this mission.

This time, the base leader took a fancy to Gu Sheng's body and knew that the psychics on their side were not weak, so he made a detailed plan.

Originally, after the psychic was led away, they could just take Gu Sheng's body back, but...

When they saw the serious injuries here, they wanted to wipe them out at once.

The plant-based mutant has already taken Gu Sheng's body away. Without the mutant plants with ** effects, the best way is to start from the vents, but no one expected that after the vents were blown up, a huge energy would attack them.

Zhuang Mingxu was now completely certain that all this was done by Lu Weiyi. Fortunately, Song Huai looked clear-headed and didn't seem like he would have any impact on others.

"I am an earth-type mutant. When I was attacked, the earth helped me to resist part of the damage. My injuries were not serious. I had already woken up when you were digging me out, so I chose to fake my death." After saying this, Song Huai seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden. "I have told you everything I know. Since I died so happily, can you please give me a painless death?"

A man who tried to fake his own death and even dug out his companions' crystal cores just to escape, seeking death so readily, made Zhuang Mingxu alert.

Song Huai just smiled and said, "My parents want me to live at all costs. I have tried my best, but now I'm at the end of the road."

"It's not that I was disobedient," he murmured in a low voice like a fragile child.

However, Zhuang Mingxu was not so easy to talk to. He asked a lot of questions about the situation at the Panshui base, especially about the base commander who fed him the flesh and blood of the mutants.

"The boss... is very nice to me." Song Huai lowered his head and rubbed his clasped hands together. This was an unconscious little action he made when he was struggling and hesitating.

Zhuang Mingxu felt that he probably really knew something unknown.
