Five years into the apocalypse, Zhuang Mingxu, the strongest ability user in the safe zone, was killed by his so-called “family.”
Lu Weiyi, who had been indifferent to everything for over...
Chapter 706: Ice Converter
Qi Le openly provoked these people, and suddenly changed the subject, "But their condition is not untreatable."
"Can you cure it?"
"Of course, but..." Qi Le shook the rope tied on his hands, "I'm afraid there is no chance. Just think about it, if I die, so many young children will be buried with me. It's worth it."
“You should rest…”
"Xiao Meng, take your men and move, this place has been requisitioned." Zhuang Mingxu's voice came from a distance.
"Got it," Xiao Meng responded, and he and the psychic beside him picked up Qi Le and walked away. The family members behind him wanted to catch up, but he gave them a warning look and stopped where they were.
Qi Le's words made several people who felt that they were showing off with a backer suddenly lose their backbone. Seeing Qi Le being taken away, everyone whispered for a long time, and finally looked at Fang Tang.
While the few of them were talking, the earth-type mutants had already begun to take action, transferring the surrounding soil to other places.
Zhuang Mingxu led a small team and stood in a circle around the area, trying their best to move the houses and the land to a farther place to give the families a chance to clean up.
Fang Tang and some minor psychics at the Mountain God Base looked at this in confusion.
They were still too young and didn't understand what was happening at all. Whether they had listened to Qi Le's words and controlled the base before, or were helping Yue Banwan now, they were all dependent on their parents and did what they said. Many people didn't understand the reason behind everything.
Seeing some houses collapse during the relocation process, everyone looked helpless, especially when they saw the sad looks on the parents' faces - this was the proof of their hard-earned stability, and its destruction also meant an uncertain future.
The surroundings were silent, with only the voice of Zhuang Mingxu directing the psychics to be heard. After all the houses on the surface were moved away, the soil underground was randomly piled up in a circle.
The entire underground was completely exposed, appearing in a grayish-white cement state, but its texture was like jade. It extended for hundreds of meters around, and the irregular pattern area covered nearly ten acres.
Looking at this abrupt thing, many people in the Mountain God Base were bewildered, and some even asked the people around them what it was. Obviously, they had no idea when Qi Le had quietly created such a huge thing.
The abilities of water-based psychics are somewhat dependent on the water element. In a place far away from rivers and lakes, the water gathered by the ability is very limited. While they were making preparations, Fang Tang had already led people to temporarily requisition the water stored in various households. When Zhuang Mingxu signaled the water-based psychics to get ready, the water was immediately covered on the cement structure.
"Rocketeers, get ready!" Zhuang Mingxu said as he waved towards Zhou He and others who were holding rocket launchers high up.
"emission--!"
As the order was given, the sound of artillery fire resounded throughout the canyon, startling a flock of birds that flapped their wings and flew high into the sky.
With a bang, a stream of air like white smoke rushed towards the empty concrete layer. When it came into contact with the thin layer of water covering it, it instantly condensed into a layer of ice.
The ice layer spread white visibly and gradually solidified.
Eventually the entire layer will be covered.
There was silence all around, and everyone was observing the changes in the cement layer underneath. After a while, the floating ice began to flow. Zhuang Mingxu breathed a sigh of relief and ordered people to use their supernatural powers to remove the ice layer and drain the unknown substance that had melted into liquid into the deep pit that had been dug in advance.
The water layer covered it again, the rocket launcher solidified again, was taken out, and drained, and the whole process was repeated.
After a few times, the empty underground place appeared visible to the naked eye. Only the empty hall could be seen through the telescope. Its size had not changed, while other passages were difficult to distinguish.
But the people who could be seen integrated into the cement layer proved that Zhao Gang and his team were not lying.
"Be careful to distinguish between friend and foe, and be careful not to control people," Zhuang Mingxu reminded when he saw that there was a wood-type mutant ready to take action at any time.
"receive!"
With each rocket launcher firing, more and more people gathered around. Later, Ji Zheng was also attracted and asked what was going on.
Looking at this huge project, he couldn't help but sigh that Qi Le is a talented person.
And when he looked at the weapons in the Yuebanwan team, his eyes were filled with envy.
With the use of such weapons, the originally unwilling psychics were also suppressed, but compared to watching the fun, they were more worried about their future fate.
The people brought up had high levels of supernatural powers. In view of the unknown danger level of them, Zhuang Mingxu asked Zhao Gang's men to guard them all. Fortunately, these people were already unconscious, as if they were completely dead.
Fortunately, they are not considered living people, and no one dares to leave them alone.
Unexpectedly, after looking at all of them, Zhao Gang recognized 90% of them.
"They are the psychics who disappeared from the Panshui base." Zhao Gang glanced at Wang Bing.
The high-level psychic at Panshui Base disappeared and reappeared at Shanshen Base, while the members at Shanshen Base were constantly being enlightened with superpowers!
Such a coincidence has almost proved their original guess.
Wang Xi, a fire-type mutant who had just upgraded, was very stubborn. He looked at these faces and asked bluntly, "Didn't they explode after the upgrade failure? How come they are here?"
Hua Rui and Fei Mo were both people who had seen off several batches of teammates. Having been in the position of the strongest psychic in Panshui Base for a long time, they immediately understood the meaning.
Yang Zhiguang, an earth-type psychic who came up at about the same time as Wang Xi, was just as confused as him. Fortunately, his brain was still working. "I heard rumors from the base before that the psychics enlightened by the Mountain God Base are all those who have eaten the high-level psychics in our base?"
"Is that so?" He looked at Hua Rui and the others, trying to find an answer.
"We were the ones who spread the news." Since Wang Bing and Zhao Gang came under Yuebanwan, they have no longer concealed their cooperative attitude.
"After I dodged the attack, I created a death scene myself and hid in the base to investigate the disappearance of a high-level psychic." Zhao Gang glanced in the direction of Qi Le and happened to meet Qi Le's gaze. He even smiled at him nonchalantly.
"At those scenes, we could vaguely detect the smell left by the explosion of explosives. Later, we followed the people from Yueban Bay and the Mountain God Base and gradually discovered..."
"This is all Luo Qi's conspiracy." Zhao Gang can now accept everything calmly. "When the Panshui base was split, Luo Qi appeared first and gave people the information that they could upgrade quickly by eating the flesh and blood of psychics, which attracted some psychics to upgrade desperately."
"Not long after the first batch of psychics were upgraded, they began to disappear one after another. At this time, the second batch of enlightened psychics began to appear in the Mountain God Base. Coincidentally... they were all top-level A-level."
"After the first batch of S-level psychics at the Panshui base disappeared, all the people enlightened at the Shanshen base were S-level. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"
"You want to say that Shanshen Base and Panshui Base are cooperating? But... but we don't have any healing psychics." Wang Xi is the only person besides Zhao Gang who has the mark of zombie transformation on his body. His exposed skin is dark and stiff, and he seems unable to accept it and wants to find all evidence to deny Zhao Gang's statement.
"Yes," Hua Rui said, she lowered her eyes, as if recalling something, and after a while she whispered, "There was a healing person in the Fenghe team, the largest team in the Panshui base before. The captain Qian Min's youngest sister Qian Wei was a B-level healer."
"How come we don't know? You're talking nonsense." Wang Xi looked like he was about to cry.
"The idea that the people with special abilities in Panshui base exploit ordinary people was proposed by Fenghe Team. The Qian family was afraid that it would implicate their own family members, so they hid the news," Hua Rui said calmly.
"Later, when mutant animals attacked the dungeon, the Qian family was massacred, Qian Min also disappeared, and the once-glorious Fenghe team disappeared after reorganizing." Hua Rui said as she turned her head to look at Qi Le, and Qi Le was also looking at her at this time.
"The person who attacked the Qian family used a soft sword and moved as fast as a speed-type psychic. Moreover... he had something on his body that restricted their abilities. The many psychics in the Qian family had no power to resist, and the entire family died tragically, with no one surviving."
"Did you do it?" Zhao Gang asked Qi Le directly.
After hearing what Zhao Gang said just now, Qi Le guessed that Yue Banwan already knew his identity, and Zhuang Mingxu had deliberately lowered his vigilance and lured him into the trap.
Seeing that his true identity had been exposed, he no longer concealed it. He stared at Hua Rui, as if recalling something. After a while, he said, "I heard that Captain Qian Min had a sweetheart, but because she was an ordinary person with a humble status, she had been imprisoned in the backyard and was not allowed to see anyone. I didn't expect that these were all rumors."
"What a pity! When he died, he kept crawling towards the backyard. I guess he wanted to see the woman and the child. There was blood all over the ground... Tsk tsk tsk..."
"Really? That's a pity." There was no sadness on Hua Rui's face, and it was hard to guess whether Qi Le's words were true or not.
But his frankness made Wang Xi even more frustrated, "So, our so-called upgrade has always been to become a stepping stone for others."
He stretched out his hands and looked at his wrinkled skin, wanting to cry but unable to, "Then why did I work so hard..."
"Try hard to die - high-level psychics, haven't you known for a long time that psychics who grow up by eating human flesh have no future at all? Why do you think they are the strongest psychics but never dare to upgrade?" Qi Le laughed, "All of you are being played around by me, you are all my pawns."
"Then you will definitely die before me-!" Wang Xi was furious, and ran towards Qi Le, his supernatural powers beginning to surge uncontrollably.
"calm!"
"Don't take us with you to death!"
Before he could take two steps, he was tied up by Hua Rui and Wang Bing.
Fei Mo punched the man and knocked him to the ground, "If you want to die, you can find a quiet place and don't take us with you."
"I……"
Wang Xi hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by a surprised shout from the other side.
"It's the base commander, the base commander is here!"
