Chapter 627: Unexpected Helper

"As soon as we opened our mouths, the noise outside stopped. In less than two minutes, when we looked again, there was no one around. My and Wang Bing's special abilities were restored." The man's tone was calm, and there was no trace of the urgency at all.

The man and Wang Bing both suspected that there was an instrument in the base that could suppress the superpowers of high-level psychics. This was not very friendly to a group of people who relied on superpowers to survive, so the two of them had no time to continue targeting them.

"A few days later, I felt that noise again and knew I was being targeted. I immediately detonated the bomb I had prepared in advance, destroying all traces of my hiding place around me."

"I didn't expect that the next day I would hear the news that my failed upgrade had caused an explosion. But at the same time, I heard from Wang Bing that Luo Qi was injured."

"This makes me suspect that the person who attacked twice was Luo Qi. However, after I went into hiding, I have been hiding in the outer city, and there is no chance for investigation." When the man said this, he suddenly turned sideways and knocked on the wall, then pushed hard against the wall.

The wall in front of him was solid, and a narrow crack appeared under his great strength. Zhou He could even see the difficulty the man was having in forcing himself to squeeze in.

"Go up from here and you'll be outside the city," a man's voice buzzed from the other side.

Seeing that he did not ask for help from Guan Wei, the earth-type mutant, Zhou He did not let him take action. The two of them squeezed over and saw a staircase leading upwards. The man was already standing on it, looking down at them.

This was the perfect time for a sneak attack, but he didn't do it. Before the two men came up, he was always on guard against the surrounding situation.

Looking towards the inner city from here, there is only a dark mass. The hazy light gives the illusion of warmth amid the whistling of the cold wind in the ears.

The man standing beside the two of them felt awkward, as if he was nervous or worried. After a while, he asked, "Where are you meeting the team members? I..."

"boom--"

“Bang, bang, bang—”

Explosions and gunshots sounded at the same time. Zhou He turned his head suddenly and saw a huge amount of energy exploding not far from them, which was very similar to what he had felt before.

"They are being targeted." The man looked even more anxious than him. The firelight reflected the viciousness on his face extremely clearly. By the time Zhou He reacted, the man had already run towards the direction of the gunshots.

"Captain!" Guan Wei shouted anxiously, wanting to struggle down, but then he remembered that he was the only high-level earth-type mutant in the team, and was afraid that he would not be there when they needed him. He did not know what to do for a moment.

"Together." Zhou He carried him on his back and ran while adjusting the supernatural jammer on his body.

The place where the explosion occurred had become a ruin by now. Six people, five men and one woman, stood together, filled with powerful energy. In the howling wind at night, the bright red and white clothes they were wearing stood out particularly clearly.

The ones confronting them were the teammates brought by Zhou He, including Zhao Lei and three others who had explored the base with him.

At this time, the three of them were all injured and looked vigilantly at the six people who had followed them out at some point.

After they separated from Zhou He, the investigation went extremely smoothly. They even sneaked into a house to find out some information.

When the three were returning to join the main force outside the city, something unexpected happened. They were being followed by someone, who then found the rest of the group's place of residence.

The explosion just now was a resistance against the sneak attacker, and it was also intended to notify Zhou He.

"I said that following them would definitely yield great rewards, look here it is," a man with a feminine face had hair hanging down his shoulders, and if you didn't look closely, he looked like a woman. He seemed to have something entangled between his fingers, fiddling with them constantly, and strands of energy threads weaved an invisible net in the air, as if to completely cover his prey.

"Stop talking nonsense, go back to sleep after you're done." The man standing next to him was covered in metal ornaments, and his supernatural attributes were almost clearly written out. He looked like he had a bad temper, and he interrupted the person who was speaking with an impatient look on his face. With a raise of his hand, all the metal around him became his weapons.

"No, I have something else to ask you." The feminine voice sounded again, and he waved his hand. Something invisible blocked the metals that were about to move, as if freezing them in place.

The man who manipulated the metal let out a click of his tongue and waved his hand to retract his supernatural power.

"I heard that your base commander is upgrading to SSS level?" The man laughed wickedly.

Even though they had heard Zhuang Mingxu say that these people might target Lu Weiyi, they still felt annoyed when asked about it.

"SSS?" There was a hint of anticipation in the man's eyes.

"Can you hurry up so late at night?" A man in a three-piece suit spoke politely, with a long flaming whip in his hand, "Hua Rui, block the retreat."

No one responded, but the woman in a bright red dress at the back of the team waved her hand. There were rustling sounds all around, and vaguely there were living creatures surrounding the group.

"Hey, I also want to know more about the high-level psychics. You guys are really impatient," said the feminine man, but he patted the non-existent dust on his hands, took a step back, and patted the metal man standing next to him.

The metal man stretched out his hand again, and the metal on his body combined into various cold weapons with a rattling sound and threw them towards Zhao Lei and his group.

When they were about to touch them, they were suddenly taken away by another force. All kinds of weapons instantly changed direction and flew towards the six people. The speed was so fast and the angle was so tricky that several people were stunned for a moment. Unfortunately, they were all high-level psychics, and the weapons could not touch them, and the metal man regained control of them.

A chuckle sounded in the crowd. It came from a man in a suit standing next to the metal man.

He didn't say anything, but just this little sound made the metal man's face look gloomy.

Several mini fireballs appeared in the air, gradually growing larger, and eventually forming the same appearance as the metal weapons, the difference being that this time they were made of flames.

"The last person who resisted my metal element like this was killed without leaving even a trace," said the metal man, and the metal weapon he controlled approached and broke up the weapon made of fire as if by accident.

With the naked eye, the color of the metal turned red, which showed how high the temperature of the flame was.

Yun Bai wanted to use the same trick again to try to control the metal, but this time the metal man was well prepared, and his level was not as good as the other party, so the supernatural power he extended was like being stepped on hard by someone, and his head suddenly felt a dull pain.

"Yun Bai" Sun Cheng supported Yun Bai, whose face turned pale, and swiftly produced several vines as thick as a child's arm in his hand, and threw them into the air, trying to knock down the long sword flying towards them.

However, the sword was too hot, and the green plants it hit were instantly ignited and blown to the side by the wind. It was Zhao Lei, a water-based mutant next to him, who created countless ice cones that flew everywhere, deflecting the attack.

"Deputy Captain, we are no match for them," said Du Wen from the Space Department in a low voice as he took out a few crystal core guns and handed them to several people whose superpowers were suppressed.

Only one person from the other side has taken action so far, but it is enough to get all of them moving. It is hard to imagine what the situation would be like if six people took action.

"This water system belongs to me," said the only man dressed normally among the group, looking at the man in white next to him, "Send him over here."

The man didn't respond to him, but Zhao Lei felt the ground beneath his feet begin to move. He rolled to the side suddenly, and when he looked back, he saw two handcuffs formed on the ground where he had just stood. If he hadn't moved quickly, he would have been fixed in place.

The man in white didn't expect him to react so quickly and immediately controlled the land he was standing on. Zhao Lei saw that he was his target, so he winked at the others and immediately dodged while moving a little further away from them.

Seeing him so slippery, the man in white gradually lost his patience. Small pieces of soil and rocks began to condense on the surrounding land, slowly forming a huge fist in the air...

"Bai Wuchang, you turned people into meat paste, how can we eat?" The metal man turned around and cursed at the other party.

The man in the suit also looked at him disapprovingly, but the man in white obviously didn't want to care about other people's attitudes at this time. Without waiting for others to react, he swung a punch, and a huge fist fell from the sky and smashed towards several people.

Although a few people showed their unhappiness, they did not actually take any action to stop it.

Among the few people left behind, only Zhao Lei and Qu Zhu were S-level psychics, and Qu Zhu, a wood-type person, was not inclined towards fighting. Seeing this powerful punch coming, all of them would be seriously injured if not killed.

Getting hurt at this time is not a wise option.

"You take them away." Zhao Lei pushed Qu Zhu and took a step forward.

"Deputy Captain!"

“Go!”

Zhao Lei shouted, turned around and ran towards the direction where the giant fist came from.

"Go!" Qu Zhu used the vines in his hand to lift up several people around him, and ran away in big strides, while turning around and shooting in the direction of several people.

The sound of gunfire rang out. Even though several high-level psychics immediately used their powers to resist, the crystal core weapons still exploded into countless fireworks when they came into contact with them, making the opponent a little embarrassed for a moment and giving them a chance to leave.

Zhao Lei turned around and stretched out his hands in a hugging gesture. The snow that had accumulated on the ground for several months was condensed into a huge sphere by his supernatural power. He then raised his hands to meet the huge fist.

A loud "boom" was heard.

Zhao Lei stared in amazement as the snowball he had condensed collided with the giant fist of earth and rocks at lightning speed. When the fist turned back into dust, the snowball had shrunk by more than half, but its power did not diminish at all. It approached the man in white at a very fast speed, and even dispersed into countless fist-sized snowballs a few meters away from him and shot towards him from all directions.

Zhao Lei was a little stunned. He touched the back of his head innocently and said, "I... I am so powerful?"
