Chapter 638: Parasitism

"Aren't you guys stationed here temporarily? Why are you carrying so many weapons?" Qi Le asked casually, and then he said jokingly as if he remembered something, "Why would you need weapons when you have an SSS-level psychic who is about to be successfully upgraded?"

Probably when he was leaving, he heard Zhuang Mingxu mention that someone might have set his target on Lu Weiyi. As soon as Qi Le mentioned it, the alarm bells in Zhou He's heart immediately rang.

He smiled and said, "We still have to rely on ourselves." Then he immediately changed the subject and asked, "Crystal core weapons have been around for so long, hasn't the Panshui base ever exchanged them?"

Although it was Yuebanwan that launched the crystal core weapons in the first place, Kyoto did not remain weak for long. In fact, it was quite popular in many bases because of its low price.

"The crystal core weapons in Yueban Bay are what various forces are fighting for. We are in a remote area, so it's not easy to get them. Besides, the previous Panshui base was not under the control of people like us." Qi Le said this, but Zhou He didn't hear much regret in his voice.

He was just about to say a few polite words when he heard an envious voice beside him, "It would be great if we had a base commander as powerful as you, who could spare the mental energy to protect you even when you are upgrading."

Zhou He was startled and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Liang Fei appeared not far behind them at some point.

At this distance, it was impossible for Zhou He to not notice him given his ability level, but the fact was, he didn't even know when this person appeared, and from what he said, he clearly heard the conversation between him and Qi Le.

Zhou He's heart tightened and he glanced in the direction of Yun Bai. He saw that Yun Bai also had a look of surprise on his face. It was obvious that he also didn't notice when the other party came over.

If Yun Bai's condition might be due to his low level, then Zhou He and Liang Fei's abilities were almost the same, so it was inevitable that this situation was strange.

especially……

The meaning behind Liang Fei's words.

How did he know that Lu Weiyi protected them when he upgraded?

The only time Lu Weiyi took action was when Panshui base launched a surprise attack. According to Song Huai, except for a wood-type mutant who took Gu Sheng away, the rest all died there.

After Zhou He learned about some of the situations at the Panshui base, he felt that the wood-type mutant who had left should be the owner of the mutated lavender—Hua Rui, the strongest wood-type mutant at the current Panshui base.

Given the other party's level, the only people who could allow her to tell everything that happened were probably a few high-level psychics on par with her and Luo Qi, who had a special identity.

So how did Liang Fei know that?

"Your intelligence is so strong, I'm curious how you arranged your spies?"

After Zhou He finished speaking, he kept his eyes on Liang Fei. He saw Liang Fei glance at Qi Le with panic in his eyes, as if he didn't know if he had said something he shouldn't have said.

This also made Zhou He certain that all of this was arranged by Qi Le.

So how could an ordinary person like him install nails in the upper floors of the Panshui base?

Zhou He felt frightened just thinking about it.

"It's just some gossip circulating in the Panshui base, and they've spread it all over the place." Qi Le acted as if nothing had happened, and even asked Zhou He, "I want to confirm with you whether it's true or not?"

"I heard that any abnormal fluctuations in energy when a psychic is upgrading can easily cause the upgrade to fail. This is why many psychics either look for a safe place or reliable people to protect them when they upgrade. Can your base commander really upgrade and help in combat at the same time?"

"You're asking the wrong person," Zhou He laughed, "How could someone tell me something this profound?"

"Then wasn't it your base commander who helped you when you were ambushed before?" Qi Le still didn't give up.

"The commander and deputy commander of the base are here, so it's not my turn to know about this kind of thing."

After probing each other for a while, the few of them returned to Mo Tiantian's home. Knowing that they couldn't get anything out of him, Qi Le didn't stay any longer. After exchanging greetings, he walked towards the Taoist temple in the mountains.

Zhou He, who had sent him off, stood at the door, looking at the man's back, fiddling with an instrument in his hand in silence as if nothing had happened.

"Captain" Guan Wei's voice interrupted his thoughts. When he turned around, he saw Guan Wei sitting on a wooden block in the yard by someone, with his legs hanging limply.

"Does it still hurt?" Unsure of the extent of his bone injuries, they did not dare to let the medical department act rashly.

"Not bad." Guan Wei saw the instrument in his hand and thought of the person who had left not long ago, "You suspect..."

He didn't continue speaking. Zhou He already understood what he meant. He nodded and handed the instrument over, "No abnormalities found."

The instrument showed that there was no fluctuation of supernatural power in Qi Le's body, so he was undoubtedly an ordinary person. So where did he get such great energy?

Just relying on the little bit of supernatural power training that was planned?

Zhou He expressed his doubts, but one thing was certain: this was not a place to stay for long.

"Shall I take you home?" Zhou He asked Guan Wei who was unable to move.

"I'm going to breathe some fresh air." Guan Wei looked at Zhou He calmly.

The two men looked at each other, Zhou He put away his instrument and moved his foot over to the same wooden block, "Then I'll sit for a while, too."

"Okay, I also wanted to ask you if you have learned any new uses for earth-related abilities." Guan Wei did not seem to be affected by his legs at all. "After hearing what Yun Bai said just now, I wanted to go and see it myself."

"I can take you there any day you want. Mr. Qi said that we can go anywhere except near the Taoist temple of the Mountain God."

"That would be great." Guan Wei had been waiting for him to sit next to him, squinting his eyes and looking around comfortably. Just as he was about to speak, Zhou He pinched him calmly and gave him a question mark.

Liang Fei's appearance just now made Zhou He more cautious about whether there was really no surveillance around him.

Guan Wei looked at him knowingly, then looked towards the ground under their feet.

After a moment, two words were written on Zhou He's palm: "Cement".

Zhou He looked at the lushly growing medicinal herbs and vegetables in the yard with suspicion and asked with his eyes.

"20 meters" Guan Wei drew a downward arrow.

As soon as Zhou He and Yun Bai left, only Qu Zhu and Sun Cheng were left here. Both of them were wood-type ability users. Guan Wei was worried, so he asked someone to carry him out and keep an eye on the surrounding situation.

This was someone else's place, and he originally didn't plan to use his supernatural powers to explore the surroundings, so as not to offend the owner of this place, but as a conditioned reflex of arriving at a new place, he used his supernatural powers to explore the area under his feet.

Who would have thought that they would find concrete ground more than 20 meters away.

Surprised, Guan Wei didn't care whether he had offended anyone or not. Worried about some conspiracy, he immediately used his special ability to explore. He found that the cement underground covered all the underground places.

It looks like a naturally formed stratum, but it extends out deliberately.

Guan Wei's eyes circled around Mo Tiantian's yard and nodded to Zhou He - the entire underground area was covered.

What was even more incredible to Guan Wei was that his special powers could not penetrate underneath the cement layer.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking his supernatural powers, and he couldn't feel anything inside.

Superpower jammer!

This was the first thought that came to Zhou He's mind, but he changed his mind and realized that the superpower jammer would only make the superpower disappear and weaken...

weaken!

Zhou Hemeng looked in the direction where Qi Le left. He quietly condensed his supernatural powers and did not notice any changes. However, when he used his supernatural powers, it was obviously not the strength he should have at his level.

When Zhuang Mingxu took them to search for mutant plants and returned to the base, he had experienced the feeling of his superpowers being sealed in his body and unable to be used. He said that it was the base's latest jammer.

The feeling he had now was not much different from that time, the difference was that their jammers were completely sealed in the body, while now he could use part of it - which was why he had not noticed it before.

This thing was obviously upgraded from the first generation jammer, which made Zhou He worried.

"Don't think too much. We will return to the base when Du Wen and the others are in better condition." Zhou He glanced at Guan Wei meaningfully.

The other party immediately understood what he meant. The man who had a calm face just now looked at his legs with self-mockery and said dejectedly, "Then I will wait for good news from the captain."

Zhou He decided to discuss leaving as soon as possible during dinner, but before that, there was something more important.

Zhou He looked around the courtyard but didn't see Qu Zhu. After asking Guan Wei, he found out that he had gone to the backyard to plant medicinal herbs with Mo Tiantian.

"He said he wanted to get close to the target and find out more information." Guan Wei laughed when he thought of Qu Zhu's righteous words.

"People in their twenties act like they haven't grown up." Zhou He gritted his teeth and was about to go to the backyard to catch someone when he saw two people walking towards this side, talking and laughing.

"Just look at him smiling like a flower at a minor and you'll know how badly we lack girls in our base. Can a child tell that he is showing off?" Guan Wei asked Zhou He in a low voice.

Zhou He glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Guan Wei shrugged and waved to Qu Zhu.

Qu Zhu said goodbye to Mo Tiantian, squatted between the two of them, and asked Zhou He and the others about their studies.

"Yun Bai has already shown off in front of me since he came back. Captain, have you seen any skills that are suitable for me? It would be best if it is a skill that can only be mastered by SS level, so that I can show off when we get back." Qu Zhu looked longingly, as if he had already expected to be praised. His smile was extremely annoying. If Guan Wei's legs were not unable to move now, he felt that he might kick him.

"Yes, I'll tell you when I get back." Zhou He said, grabbing Qu Zhu's arm with one hand. Using the three people's figures to block his vision, a line of tiny words floated in the air: [Feel whether there are parasitic plants in our body].

Even though Qu Zhu knew that he might say something unexpected, he didn't expect it to be this, and his face turned pale instantly - countless of their comrades had died at the hands of parasitic plants.

Qu Zhu's supernatural power was too low at that time, and he was completely unable to control the parasitic plants. He watched helplessly as his comrades' bodies were penetrated by the parasitic plants, their internal organs and blood were covered with all kinds of clusters, and eventually their entire bodies became part of the plants.
