Chapter 137, Disappearing Superpowers
With a loud bang, the heavy door was blown open, and smoke and dust blinded the eyes.
Chu Yuan waved his hand and took the flashlight handed to him by the team member: "There is a strong stench in there. It must be after the disaster that the base was sealed off before anyone could escape."
The pale light of the flashlight flashed around the corridor. Chu Yuan said, "Let's fix it tonight. We'll go in tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Captain."
The first team's camp was not far from the Beihe base. When they returned to the camp, a team member came out quickly: "Captain, the deputy captain is here."
"Huh?" Chu Yuan was surprised and subconsciously quickened his pace and entered the temporary meeting room. "Brother Hao, what's wrong with you..." Seeing that he was weathered, it was obvious that he had rushed all the way here.
"The base has received new information. There seems to be a new mutant species inside Beihe Base. All the psychic teams sent in to investigate from other bases have been killed." Guo Zhehao wiped the sweat from his face and took out a tube of colorless reagent. "This is a new reagent that the laboratory asked me to send. Assistant Shen said it can eliminate the mutated virus in psychics."
"Eradication virus?" Chu Yuan stared at the tube of reagent. "You mean, this thing can turn people with special abilities into ordinary people?"
"That's what Assistant Shen said," Guo Zhehao said, "but it's urgent and hasn't been used in actual experiments yet, so..."
"I understand. Bring it with you when you enter Beihe Base tomorrow." Chu Yuan frowned, remembering what Si Xu had reminded him. "Brother Hao, why did you come here alone? What's the situation at the base now?"
"The situation at the base is not very good." Guo Zhehao smiled bitterly, "Professor Si and Deputy Captain Shen Bai took the second team to the Yancheng base. Assistant Shen asked me to take this thing out of the base and come to Beihe base to find you. The Shen family seems to be planning something and is strictly monitoring all parties."
"Is that so?" Chu Yuan sighed, "Seventh Brother is no longer at the base?"
"Well, there's news about Qin Huai in Yancheng."
"Oh, that guy again." Chu Yuan patted Guo Zhehao's shoulder without doubting his words. "You've come a long way. Get some rest tonight. We'll go to Beihe Base tomorrow to meet that powerful mutant."
After being sent back to the room by Chu Yuan, Guo Zhehao said good night as usual. He looked at the man's back as he left and clasped the reagent in his hand tightly.
Tomorrow, when we go to Beihe Base, everything will be over.
It's all over.
…
Pei Xiao did not come back the whole night. Jiang Ran sat in front of the French window and yawned loudly. She was very suspicious that Pei Xiao had gone to Beihe Base alone.
"That's pretty much how he handles things. Something about protecting ordinary people from harm..."
Hearing the girl's mumbling, Qi Yao rubbed her eyes and asked Jiang Ran: "Ranran, Captain Pei hasn't come back yet. Could something have happened?"
"No," Jiang Ran comforted the girl. "That guy's ability level is not low, and it's a gold-type ability. His attack power is strong, and he's not stupid. How could he get into trouble so easily?"
"Should I thank you for the compliment?"
Pei Xiao happened to hear the girl's words when he went upstairs. He couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth and replied with a half-smile, "I didn't expect Miss Jiang to think so highly of me."
"Oh my god, how come you're like a cat, walking without making any sound?" Jiang Ran was startled. He turned around to look at the person who was peeking out from the stairs and patted his chest. "Why didn't you say a word when you came back?"
"Didn't I squeak?" Pei Xiao stopped at the stairs and raised his chin. "I found the entrance to the Beihe base. Do you want to go with me?"
Jiang Ran and Qi Yao quickly stood up at the same time and said in unison: "Of course!"
…
The lights in the underground base were pale and bright, glaring and a little dazzling.
In the deserted corridor, there were only the faint sounds of various instruments running.
"Bang!"
A figure was knocked away, knocking over two glass doors and slamming heavily against the wall.
His skin was cut by glass fragments. The man wiped the blood off his face, and the curve of his mouth became softer.
"Oh my, it's been a while since I last saw you. Professor Si, your abilities are even more powerful than before."
At the end of the corridor, Si Xu looked coldly in the direction of Qin Huai and shook off the blood on his Tang sword.
The two high-level mutant zombies standing in front of him fell to the ground with their bodies stiff, and their heads rolled far away.
Si Xu jumped over the zombies' bodies and walked towards Qin Huai.
"If you don't run away, I can give you a quick death."
If other people who were familiar with Si Xu heard this, they would definitely give up struggling and close their eyes and wait for death - after all, Professor Si said so, and if you dared to run, you would be twisted into a knot if he caught you.
Qin Huai just smiled indifferently and leaned against the wall: "Si Xu, you are really weird - those people in Xiling Base treated you like that, why do you still want to protect them?"
"I didn't protect them."
The two of them were getting closer and closer, and Qin Huai could clearly see the murderous intent hidden in the man's beautiful peach blossom eyes.
"I just don't like you, Qin Huai."
Are you upset with him? Because he killed Min He?
Qin Huai sighed helplessly and spread his hands: "Now that you've said that, it seems that no matter what I do, you won't let me go."
His slender fingers pressed the button on the wall, and as the thick door behind him slowly opened, Qin Huai's smile became even more intense, with a hint of pity.
"Si Xu, you want to kill me to avenge Min He? How about you take a look at the gift I prepared for you first?"
After the young man finished speaking, he suddenly stepped back and his figure disappeared behind the open door in an instant.
"Oh, you clown."
Without hesitation, Si Xu followed the direction Qin Huai disappeared and stepped into the room.
The moment he stepped into the room, the iron door behind him closed again with a click, and the cross lock fell, sealing the exit.
The bright light in the room made the young man squint subconsciously.
"Haha, Si Xu, you actually followed me in. Aren't you afraid that it's a trap I set?"
Qin Huai's laughter came through the loudspeaker in the corner and echoed in the room.
Si Xu's eyes swept across the room which was as spacious as an arena.
Apart from him, the only living creature in this room surrounded by iron walls was densely packed with zombies.
Smelling the fresh scent of flesh and blood, the zombies staggered towards Si Xu. Without the master's order, they did not dare to act on their own.
"Professor Si, welcome to my arena."
Watching the situation in the room through the surveillance cameras in the four corners, in the monitoring room, Qin Huai wiped the blood off his face while leisurely introducing Si Xu.
"This is the playground I set up in Yancheng. I hope Professor Si can have fun.
"Oh, the reason it's called a playground is because all supernatural powers are ineffective in this room.
"How is it? Are you surprised? I know that your supernatural power is very powerful, Professor Si, so I can only find some ways to restrain your supernatural power - don't ask me how I did it, I definitely won't tell you, hehe."
The supernatural power is invalid? With just a little intuition, Si Xu knew that what Qin Huai said was true.
Could it actually suppress superpowers? He didn't think anyone in a small base like Yancheng could develop such a device.
The sound continued on the loudspeaker.
"Si Xu, to tell you the truth, I brought you here this time because I was hoping we could cooperate. But judging by your performance, I don't think cooperation is possible.
"As for me, I can't be as magnanimous as you—I will never forget what those people in the lab did to me.
But, before dealing with the Shen family, I won't feel at ease unless I get rid of you first."
He let out a long sigh.
"Professor Si, there are a total of 838 zombies in the arena. They are all my gifts to you. Have fun."
