Chapter 626: Abnormality of the Base

The man was still unaware of the storm in Zhou He's mind. He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. As if he had thought of something, he suddenly looked up at Zhou He and asked, "How many people did you bring here?"

"...the entire team" Zhou He did not hide it.

There was a flash of surprise in the man's eyes, and he stood up with his arms supporting the wall. Zhou He then realized that the two bullets shot at his legs before did not hurt him at all. The wound was just floating on the surface and bleeding a lot, which only looked serious. At this time, with the help of the man's weak supernatural power, the wound was not only frozen and solidified, but also covered with a layer of ice. Except for the stiffness of his bones, his movement was not affected at all.

Zhou He and Guan Wei became alert at the same time, and heard the man say, "Everyone here is under the surveillance of people with special abilities. You must have been discovered as soon as you entered the city."

"A psychic?" Zhou He asked.

"Not only that," the man said seriously, "the mutated lavender in the stamens also grows inconspicuously and monitors all strangers around in the corners."

"Captain, did you feel the psychic power?" Guan Wei thought of the hint Zhou He gave him when they were on the ground.

Zhou He nodded, and heard the man say, "I know the way out. I will take you away."

"You seem too enthusiastic?" Zhou He looked at the man's anxious expression and asked, "What's your name?"

"..." The man turned his back to Zhou He, with his completely defenseless back facing him, and said after a while, "Just think of it as me doing a lot of bad things, so I should do some good things before I die."

He staggered towards the end of the torches and stood at the end of the passage, waiting for the two of them.

Zhou He didn't hesitate any longer. He picked up Guan Wei from the ground, tied him up on his back, and followed him.

"You are an earth-type mutant. I will be in command and you will lead the way. I will take you up first." The man reached out and touched the soil, pointing to a place and signaled Guan Wei to take action.

"This place was once burned by a high-level fire-type mutant. The land has turned into glass and no plants can grow here, which to a certain extent blocks the exploration of the wood-type," the man explained, taking the lead in entering the newly opened cave.

The three of them walked and stopped, and after more than ten minutes, they followed a passage directly into a closed room.

As soon as he entered the ground, Zhou He's eyes suddenly opened, and he immediately wanted to attack the man, but he saw that the man was holding his breath and looked panicked, and quickly pointed at the waist towards Zhou He.

There was a high-level psychic's supernatural pressure around, and Zhou He had no choice. He immediately turned off the supernatural jammer and quietly distanced himself from the man.

Intermittent screams and cries could be heard all around, which were particularly loud in the silent night. Someone with supernatural powers not inferior to Zhou He's passed by outside, and the aura around him did not diminish at all.

There are usually ordinary people in the base, and releasing the pressure of high-level psychics requires support from psychics, so no one would be free to do so. Most people's perception of the intensity of psychics' energy still depends on the release and contraction of energy during the rise.

This was the first time that Zhou He felt someone releasing such pressure, which was equivalent to openly telling people around him the level of his supernatural powers.

The moment the power jammer was turned off, the man's power was immediately restored. He did not rush to use his power, but signaled Zhou He to be quiet while quietly waiting for the power user outside to pass by.

After more than ten minutes, the noise around him died down. The man breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Let's go. Let's go too."

Without waiting for Zhou He to answer, the man opened the door, looked outside, and walked out first.

Zhou He hesitated for a long time but finally followed. The figures who just walked past had stronger superpowers than himself. He might not be their opponent even if he fought alone, not to mention that he was carrying Guan Wei on his back at this time.

The man walked silently in the night, like a cat in the dark. He led the two of them through several compact buildings and into the lighted central area. Just when Zhou He was doubting his guess, he stopped at a seemingly inconspicuous shed, walked forward and fumbled for a while, lifted up something, and went down first.

Looking back, they were about a section away from where they came in. It would be almost impossible to return along the same route without being noticed.

"Captain, if you are in danger, leave me behind. I will help you delay for a while," Guan Wei whispered in his ear.

"Get lost!" Zhou He cursed him and jumped down.

Below was a small path that was only one person wide. The walls on both sides had a jade-like texture. The three of them walked quietly for a while before the man spoke, "The ones who just came out from the central area were the psychics who were hunting. You were unlucky. The ones who came out happened to be those top psychics. If they had discovered you, they would have definitely attacked you first."

"Why? Aren't there people with higher abilities than us?" Guan Wei asked proactively.

"If it were you, a high-level psychic like me, would you eat it?" The man asked them an irrefutable question.

Between a normal person and a zombie, does anyone know which one to eat?

Zhou He didn't disgust himself, but asked Zhuang Mingxu what he wanted to know.

"Luo Qi really doesn't manage the base's affairs. The rumor is that he is looking for a healer for his wife, but..." The man paused, "I don't think it's credible."

"What's the meaning?"

"He has quite a few high-level psychics under his command. Let alone inviting them, even snatching a healing system back wouldn't be that difficult."

"Even if other bases are too far away and not cost-effective, it would not be difficult to bring back the healing psychics from the Mountain God Base, but this has never been done."

"Moreover, high-level psychics in the base have been disappearing continuously. Some exploded after failing to upgrade, and some were said to have been eaten. Even though the people in the central area have high psychic powers, they are still in a panic and are on guard against everyone around them all day long." The man spoke in a heavy tone and told the two people who followed him everything he had discovered.

"This base is all eating the flesh and blood of people with special abilities. Isn't it normal for a few people to disappear?" Guan Wei didn't understand what he meant.

But Zhou He figured it out immediately.

This kind of place is pure law of the jungle. Anyone who dares to take the risk of using the flesh and blood of a psychic to upgrade will not always interfere with others. However, there is no second rising force here, which can only prove that someone is secretly controlling it.

The only person who could possibly have this ability could only be Luo Qi.

Since he is openly the person in charge of this base, it is reasonable for him to control the power of the base openly, but his character is set to be one who doesn't care about anything, which is a bit deliberate.

As if deliberately hiding something.

Zhou He looked at the man who was limping in front of him but moving at a fast pace, frowning, "You are someone who can't even get in touch with Luo Qi, so you shouldn't know this information, right?"

The man paused and said after a while, "Before the strongest water-based psychic appeared in the base now, I was the strongest water-based psychic."

The news came a little suddenly, but combined with the man's previous actions, it seemed reasonable.

Zhou He couldn't help but curse his bad luck at this time. He felt that he was at least a mid-to-late S-level psychic, so how could he be crushed as soon as he went out? After all, the other person was once one of the top masters in the base.

"So now you..."

"After I found that my body was showing zombie-like behaviors, I reduced my consumption of the flesh and blood of psychics. In addition, several high-level psychics before me failed to upgrade, so I began to control the absorption of crystal cores."

Until someone wanted to take action against him.

"The one who came to me was Wang Bing, the strongest water-based psychic. His level was not as good as mine at the time, but when he took action, I felt my psychic power was blocked." The man said this and turned his head to look at Zhou He's waist. "What instrument did you use just now?"

"It's a kind of supernatural jammer. The Yuebanwan base announced the production method a long time ago. Don't you know about it?" Zhou He was surprised.

"I know, but the finished product can only interfere with psychics below level A, and has basically no effect on those above level A."

The base army has always had equipment developed by the base, and he really didn't know about this. He nodded and didn't say anything. The man was very interested and asked a few more questions. Seeing that Zhou He was unwilling to say more, he didn't ask any further questions and started talking about the situation at that time again.

The entire Panshui base is a vicious cycle of eating and being eaten. As a top hunter, the man's vigilance is naturally needless to say. When he felt Wang Bing appear in his room, he knew what was going on. The two of them were of similar level, and there was only a possibility of life and death. The man immediately started to fight Wang Bing using his supernatural powers.

As people living in the central area, they maintain superficial peace. Even if they attack each other at night, they will try not to alarm more people.

This made the duel between the two people's supernatural powers particularly quiet, and the fine and silent ice layer and the white mist in the air became their means.

The two people, who were of similar level, began to compete with each other tacitly after their superpowers were almost exhausted. At this moment, there was a rustling sound coming from the door, as if someone was quietly opening the man's door.

No one expected that there would be a hidden enemy behind the scenes, especially since the place where the man lived at the time was already inhabited by high-level psychics, which meant that the person who came might have strong psychics as well.

Just when the man and Wang Bing were considering who to attack first, they both felt at the same time that their superpowers seemed to be sealed in their bodies. The temperature in the room, which had been lowered by their superpowers, quickly rose back up, and the ice and water seemed to be peeled off and could no longer be sensed.

There was a moment of surprise in the eyes of both of them, which made them rule out the possibility that the other party had done it. They stopped and looked outside the door at the same time.

In this base where people with special powers are rampant, both of them knew what it would mean if they lost their special powers, and they made the same choice without any discussion.

They acted as if they hadn't heard anything and talked in a calm and collected voice, which simply meant that the two of them didn't know each other on the surface, but had a very good relationship in secret - in order to let outsiders know that there were two high-level psychics inside.
