Chapter 698: Betrayal

"I'll go and bring the healing system from their base."

After saying that, he looked at Ji Zheng, the only outsider in the team who quietly lowered his presence. His warning eyes seemed to remind him to be careful of his life if he dared to say one more word.

Ji Zheng pointed at his current situation nonchalantly and said, "There's nothing I can do about this."

Zhuang Mingxu was indeed not worried that he would talk nonsense. He could sense the criticality of the other party's situation, not to mention Ji Zheng himself. He needed fate to be kind to him to stay alive. "Later, you take the healing system out with you, and we will go find Wu Yue. Zhou He has some people who will join you. We will take control of the Mountain God Base as quickly as possible."

"I can go and convince my team," Ji Zheng suddenly said.

Lu Weiyi turned his head to look at him, and heard Ji Zheng say, "I control 90% of the naturally awakened psychics in the Mountain God Base, and they are all dedicated to the good of this base."

Even if a conflict occurred between them and Qi Le, it could only be considered an internal conflict. However, if the people from Yuebanwan came to attack at this time, it would be an external conflict. They would definitely put aside their grudges and join forces with Qi Le to fight against Yuebanwan first.

Ji Zheng had previously thought that the relationship with Qi Le was not a big problem, but when he saw the people in this laboratory, he knew that they were not the same kind of people.

If they can attack themselves now, they may also attack other people in the base someday. Just look at Fang Tang and his group who have always treated him as a master, and you will know how cruel they are.

If it were Lu Weiyi in his prime period of superpowers, he would definitely not take the people in his hands seriously, but he can't afford too much consumption now, and he needs to take this place as soon as possible. After seeing the situation here, he will understand that Qi Le is not an ordinary person. No one can be sure what unknown means he has.

Zhuang Mingxu nodded first and extended his hand to Ji Zheng in a friendly manner, "We will not do anything to innocent people."

Ji Zheng shook hands with him solemnly, still with a heroic smile on his face, "Of course I believe in the credibility of Yuebanwan."

"After it's over, I'll need your instruments to help me perform the operation," he pointed to his still sunken belly.

This also tells Zhuang Mingxu that he still needs them and will not resort to any tricks.

"Don't worry, our doctors will do their best to help Mr. Ji recover."

The two quickly reached a cooperation, and Lu Weiyi did not say anything to refute, so naturally the others had no objections.

I kept my voice down and walked for dozens of meters before I saw the end. There, four children were tinkering with something with their backs to them. A boy was standing in the direction of the door, looking outside and asking if they were okay.

"Right away, don't rush me." Mo Tiantian's voice was extremely anxious, and she choked up when she spoke again after replying, "Didn't you go to school? Didn't you learn about circuits in school? How do you connect this?"

Cube Sugar didn't say anything, but the hand holding the three red, yellow and black wires was already shaking slightly.

“Sister Tiantian, if we make a mistake, will Master kill us right now?” The youngest, Li Jing, couldn’t stop crying, but he wiped his tears away stubbornly, not letting his voice sound like crying.

"...No," Mo Tiantian tried to calm herself down, "He will torture our family and make us continue to work for him."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Fang Tang and said firmly, "Just pick one. I'll accept it whether it's good or bad."

Li Jing also nodded in agreement. Fang Tang took a deep breath, exhaled forcefully, and swept his eyes over the three lines.

"Choose yellow."

"Okay!" Fang Tang responded and reminded the people around him, "I will try my best to protect your lives."

The selected yellow wire was connected to the socket, and the surroundings fell into endless silence. The only sound was the beating of several children's hearts.

After a moment, a panicked voice sounded, "Is this a mistake?"

Fang Tang finally realized something was wrong. He turned around and saw more than a dozen figures standing behind him. He was so scared that he couldn't keep his composure. He screamed, "Who are you?"

Mo Tiantian and Li Jing also immediately became alert. When they saw the people who had just been released, their eyes became anxious, "Why are you back again?"

“They are…?” It was Fangtang who noticed the completely different decorations of the group of people and fixed his sights on the two strangers in the middle.

Zhong Ye didn’t know how to introduce it for a moment, so he could only say, “…the rescuer.”

As he spoke, Zhuang Mingxu had already checked the entire circuit and asked him, "This looks like a self-destruct device. Are you planning to blow it up?"

"Yes, we can't let anyone know that we let them go." Fang Tang quickly calmed down and looked at the two men, "Are you going to save Captain Wu?"

"Do you know where he is?" Zhuang Mingxu asked.

Cube Sugar shook her head, "But I know who knows."

Before Zhuang Mingxu could ask him about his purpose, he pointed it out directly, "My sister was induced to grow a plant in her heart by Qi Le's people. Captain Wu said that your base commander can take it out without affecting her life. Is that true?"

"You want us to treat your sister?" Even though Zhuang Mingxu already knew that Qi Le's so-called enlightenment was only for some young children, he still felt regretful when looking at the four faces in front of him.

If they lived in the Yuebanwan base, they would definitely grow into the backbone of the base.

"Yes," Fang Tang said without hesitation. Even though he tried his best to appear calm, he couldn't hide his slight panic in front of a group of adults. Seeing that Zhuang Mingxu didn't say anything, he even looked at Zhong Ye and his group, as if he wanted to ask for help but didn't know how to say it.

"You can hardly survive yourself, yet you're still worrying about others?" The speaker was Lu Weiyi, who seldom expressed his opinions.

"?" Fang Tang was confused for a moment and pointed at himself, thinking that the other party was wrong.

Lu Weiyi nodded and pressed a finger towards his forehead.

Fang Tang wanted to hide, but he held himself back.

"Is this the person with super powers that they enlightened?" Lu Weiyi asked.

"Yes." Wang Bao was confused. "Leader, is there any problem?"

Lu Weiyi did not answer. He withdrew his hand and looked at the other four people. Mo Tiantian, who was pulled to the corner by Ji Zheng, was using his supernatural powers to help him heal his internal wounds.

His stomach looked sunken, but there were bleeding holes from his injured internal organs and blood had accumulated in his abdominal cavity. Ji Zheng groped his way through and pierced his skin directly, letting out the blood mixed with the seeping fluid. During the process, he didn't make any sound.

Lu Weiyi could see the flow of supernatural powers in Mo Tiantian, which was obviously different from those who awakened naturally, but she didn't understand the difference at first.

Lu Weiyi didn't say anything, and no one asked him any questions at this time, even though they didn't know what was so good about Mo Tiantian. It was not until she put away her supernatural powers that Lu Weiyi withdrew his gaze thoughtfully.

"Tell me about what you call the enlightenment process."

Fangtang pondered for a moment and said, "Before each enlightenment, the messenger will organize everyone to go to an open place, where the mountain god will directly select the people who are suitable for enlightenment."

"The chosen ones will prepare to start collective life," Fang Tang said, and led them towards a deeper part of the body. When they reached the wall, he stretched out his hand and pushed it. A door more than three meters high appeared in the wall, which was estimated to be nearly two meters thick. He pushed it and rotated it ninety degrees.

Fangtang stepped in first and after walking a few meters along the passage, he came to another open space. The difference was that this place looked like a dormitory filled with single beds.

"After that, the messenger of God will bring us pills every day to help improve our physical fitness. After taking them, we will cooperate with the training and exercise. When the time is right, the mountain god will use magic to help us stimulate the supernatural powers in our bodies."

"No more?" Zhuang Mingxu asked.

Fang Tang nodded and said, "This is a process that everyone knows. There is nothing to hide."

"What are the pills I gave you?" Lu Weiyi went straight to the point.

Fang Tang shook his head, and everyone's eyes turned to the only messenger of God present, Mo Tiantian.

"I don't know. Aunt Tan and Sha Peng are responsible for these. I'm just a life-saving bag." Mo Tiantian didn't show her usual carefree attitude at all. "It was given to me directly by Lord Mountain God. It was very painful to eat. Lord Mountain God said that this is a process of transforming the body. If people with special abilities are compared to gods, then what we are experiencing is the rebirth of mortals into gods."

"After the emergence of the superpower, Aunt Tan and the others found ways to learn on their own, but I was taught personally by Lord Mountain God."

"What did it teach you?" Zhuang Mingxu looked over sensitively.

"That is..." Mo Tiantian thought about it and didn't know what to say, "Teach everything."

"Does it know how to use supernatural powers?"

"I understand very well. I couldn't fully control it at the beginning. It was Lord Mountain God who guided me little by little."

"Yeah," Zhuang Mingxu nodded, motioning them to continue.

"We will also feel pain, and the higher the level of enlightenment, the more painful it is, and the longer it will take," Fang Tang said.

Zhuang Mingxu walked around and confirmed that it was just an ordinary residence. Unable to obtain any useful information from Fangtang, the group returned to the laboratory.

Lu Weiyi then talked about their request, "You take people to send her to the outside of the Mountain God Base and hand her over to Zhou He, and I will help your sister remove the plant in her body."

"Yes," said Fangtang without hesitation.

"I... I can do it too, big brother. I'm a water element. I'm very powerful and can help." Li Jing said to Lu Weiyi carefully, "Can you save my dad?"

"And I..."

"I can, too."

The other three people quickly took over the conversation.

Looking at these kids begging pitifully, Zhong Ye, who had received favors before, couldn't help but say, "Leader, they are the strongest psychics in this base, they must... be able to help me save some time."

"Indeed, Fangtang's team holds a very high position in the base. They can take Tiantian out openly and no one dares to stop them." Ji Zheng's broken bones still hadn't recovered and he looked no different, but he was no longer cautious and responded immediately.
