Chapter 86 Perception of Superpowers

The next morning, a team was woken up by the captain before dawn, and they went out of the base with dark circles under their eyes to kill zombies.

Just at noon, a group of people fled back in a panic. Out of curiosity, Xia Qi contacted Luo Yun from the second team and found out what had happened.

Luo Yun: "Bad luck. We encountered a level five mutant plant. It was too fierce and we lost a team member. Song Xin was also injured."

Level five! A mutant plant actually reached level five? Humans have only just reached level four!

Ding Dong——

Everyone was still in shock when a message popped up on their phones, indicating a new mission from the base.

: Level 5 mutant plants were discovered in the northern suburbs of Diwen City, seriously affecting the safety of the base, and special forces with special abilities were sent to strangle them.

The time is tentative, the specific location is: xxx.

Reward: For all participating hunting teams, regardless of success or failure, the base will provide a crystal core that can be upgraded to level 4. Specific reward details...

Xia Qi turned off his phone and couldn't help but wonder, "So fast? Isn't that place a certain distance from the base?"

The first team just returned ten minutes ago, and the base issued the mission so quickly. It was a bit too hasty. Usually, it would be issued only after discussion and confirmation.

"Captain, shall we go?" Zhao Yunyao asked, biting her hand.

Zhang Xiaobai is still very excited about being promoted to level four. Although he is already level four, his teammates are still waiting.

"Let's go! The rewards are huge this time, and no hunting team will miss it. Of course, we have to go too."

Xia Qi immediately signed up on behalf of Team 2. The base should send an advance team to gather information first, and then send a large force to strangle the enemy after confirming the true situation.

But I didn't expect that the base would come to Pu Zhi.

: Dear psychic, the latest mission number 241 assigned by the base requires your assistance.

Main content: Help the advance investigation team to find out the authenticity of the level 5 mutant plants and protect the safety of their companions.

Reward: 200 Level 2 Crystal Cores.

Pu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly. 200 second-level crystal cores are equivalent to 20,000 points. How could the base be so generous?

However, zombies have been collectively upgraded recently, and level two zombies are not uncommon. The crystal cores have also depreciated to a certain extent, and the price offered by the base is still within the normal range.

If you can get a level five mutant plant, the things produced by the base are worth less than one-fifth of the crystal core, so it's a sure profit.

No wonder the base is willing to offer such a generous reward.

Qingyin has not yet upgraded, and is very interested in this level five mutant plant Puzhi. It would be better to take this opportunity to go and investigate it with the base.

However, she quickly typed a few words on her phone and sent it to the base officials: Xiaoren, my mutant animal, does it want to go with us? If it goes, it will cost extra.

The other party didn't reply for a long time, probably because he was speechless. After a long time, he replied: Yes, I'll share the same price with you.

That's 40,000 points for one trip! What a profit!

She went back immediately, and the other party immediately sent her a time. They were to gather at the base gate at 6:30 tomorrow morning. They would all be in the same vehicle, and she only needed to bring what she needed.

The next morning, Pu Zhi stuffed the prepared food and water into his bag. In addition, he carried a long knife, a rifle, and a pistol in a bag around his waist.

When we arrived at the gate of the base, quite a few people were already there, an army of about 20 people, plus four psychics.

Pu Zhi doesn't know anyone except Jinna and Yangyang.

But he didn't expect that the leader of the army was Ye Zhou, the captain of the special situation handling team who he had met once before.

He trotted over and extended his hand towards Pu Zhi: "Hello, Pu Yinengzhe, I am Ye Zhou, the leader of this operation."

Pu Zhi extended her hand and shook it back: "Hello, Xiao Ren and I will do our best to assist you on this mission."

Ye Zhou showed a resolute smile, then pointed to the psychics not far away and introduced: "You should know Jinna and Yangyang. The remaining three are Li Zheng from Team 6. His psychic ability is similar to clairaudience, currently at level three, and can hear sounds within a range of 500 meters.

Zhang Quan from Team 8, with the ability Venom, is currently at level 2. The other one is Xi Shan, a newcomer to the base who hasn't joined the hunting team yet. His ability is Perception."

Pu Zhi repeated doubtfully, "Perception?"

Ye Zhou also knew that perception was too broad, so he immediately introduced it: "Yes, it's perception. He can sense energy fluctuations. If there are invisible or assassin-type abilities, he will be very convenient. According to the registration information, he is currently at level three."

This ability made Pu Zhi frown. Both he and Xiao Ren had reached level four, but to the outside world they were still at level three. If he could sense the fluctuations in energy, would he discover that there was something wrong with the level of his ability?

Luckily, I reminded Xiaoren before we left that he could only use the same abilities he had at level three. If I controlled it well, he shouldn't be able to detect it...

Xishan seemed to notice his gaze and turned to look over.

His delicate features carried a hint of indifference, and he seemed a bit lost. Something about him seemed strange. Even beneath his thick down jacket, his thin figure was still visible.

"How old is he?" Pu Zhi asked nervously, looking at his slightly childish face.

"16." Ye Zhou answered truthfully.

This age is even younger than Pu Zhi expected. He looked at Xishan, glanced over here, and then looked elsewhere with curiosity. Pu Zhi couldn't help but ask again: "Where does he live now? Does he have relatives in the base?"

Ye Zhou already knew about their situation, so he quickly answered Pu Zhi's question, "He currently lives in District 1. He and Dr. Lin Qiuzhi used to be neighbors, and the doctor took him in out of pity."

After a brief chat, it was already seven o'clock in the morning and the base was officially open. There were two cars and two military trucks in total for this mission.

As someone with the ability to see through things, Pu Zhi naturally sat in the first car, but she did not choose to sit in the passenger seat. Instead, she sat in the back seat with Xiao Ren.

Ye Zhou sat in the passenger seat, and one of the soldiers was driving.

The second car was occupied by Jin Na, Yang Yang and Li Zheng from Team 6, leaving Xi Shan and Zhang Quan to sit in the military truck.

Four cars were at the front of the line leaving the city, and they immediately drove towards today's destination the moment the doors opened.

The location of the level five mutant plants was not too far away. Before the apocalypse, it would normally take about half an hour to drive there. However, a team provided a cleared route, and it only took 45 minutes to successfully reach the vicinity.

Pu Zhi used her special abilities all the way, and kept the observation distance within 1,000 meters. She had to be on guard against Xishan's special abilities.

Xishan seemed to be sitting calmly in the car with his eyes closed, but in fact he was trying hard to feel the energy fluctuations nearby. Others had nothing to say, because the energy of the woman named Jinna was much higher than that of ordinary people.

The energy of Pu Zhi and her pet is higher than that of the average third-level psychic, but judging from the energy emitted by them, it seems that it has not reached the fourth level.

Maybe she has absorbed a lot of crystal cores, but has not yet reached level four, he thought, and quickly ignored Pu Zhi and Xiao Ren, and turned to observe Jin Na carefully.
