Jiang Zhaosu had just used his psychic powers to survey the base in the afternoon.
Just in case, she marked all the mutants she sensed in the afternoon.
As long as there is any movement over there, the data will be transmitted to Jiang Zhaosu.
Jiang Zhaosu now sensed that several of the mutants were running towards him quickly.
"Mutant?" Ye Zhiwei frowned, "How is that possible?"
This is a high-rise living area.
Just like Pei Yongyi and Pei Yuemu, not all high-level officials have awakened their superpowers, so the defense of the high-level area is particularly tight, with people with superpowers standing guard almost every hundred meters.
When zombies evolve to the mutant stage, most of them will develop some alert instincts.
Even if they have the ability to sneak into the base, their primary target should be the ordinary areas with high population density and relatively weak defense, rather than the high-rise areas with strict security and solid defenses.
But Jiang Zhaosu's words came true.
Just as Ye Zhiwei asked the question, the crow on her shoulder seemed to be startled. Its feathers exploded, and it suddenly flapped its black wings and took off into the air.
The bird's beak opened and closed, and a hoarse "quack" sound came from its throat. The sound was sharp and urgent, alerting people around it to the impending danger.
“375?!”
Seeing the Monitoring Eye behave so abnormally, Ye Zhiwei realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately said to Yu Nian beside him: "Niannian, you go protect Yuemu, I will contact the Minister and the Superpower Team!"
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Zhaosu saw that Ye Zhiwei had a device similar to a walkie-talkie in his hand.
Ye Zhiwei walked out while shouting to the instrument: "Captain Guo! Captain Guo!"
On the stage of the banquet hall, Pei Yuemu and Huo Zhuo were still having their engagement ceremony.
Pei Yuemu stretched out her hand and watched Huo Zhuo help her put the ring on with a forced smile.
When Huo Zhuo put his arm around her waist and pretended to kiss her, Pei Yuemu raised her hand and pressed it against his lips: "Wait..."
"What's wrong, Mumu?"
Looking at Pei Yuemu's eyes, which were smiling but clearly devoid of love, Huo Zhuo frowned slightly, his tone becoming a little more serious, with a hint of threat, as he whispered, "Everyone is watching."
He actually knew that Pei Yuemu didn't love him, but so what.
Pei Yuemu still had to dress up according to his wishes and marry him obediently.
Their marriage was not based on love, but more on the interests of the two bases.
If Pei Yuemu dared to offend him in public, Huo Zhuo would guarantee that the Moon Chasing Base would never receive any support from the Dawn Base again.
Pei Yuemu placed one hand against his face and the other hand down, holding his arm. She also frowned slightly and whispered, "Did you hear any strange noises from the audience?"
"What?"
Huo Zhuo looked down in the direction Pei Yuemu pointed.
Then, he was shocked to find that the tabletop under his and Pei Yuemu's feet was actually cracking.
"There's a mutant attack!"
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.
This sentence was like a bomb thrown into the banquet hall which was originally filled with extravagance, singing and dancing.
In an instant, the whole hall exploded.
Screams and shouts were heard everywhere.
Many high-ranking officials who hadn't awakened their superpowers had lost their usual elegance and decorum. Their faces were filled with fear, and they roared in shock and anger at the top of their lungs: "Where are the security guards? Where are the superpowers? How are they doing their jobs? How did they let mutants get in?!"
"Mutant?!"
Huo Zhuo also showed fear on his face.
Although he is an A-level lightning-type mutant, he has never had any real combat experience. He has advanced entirely by consuming a large number of crystal cores and training at the base.
When encountering a real mutant, Huo Zhuo's first reaction was to escape.
But Pei Yuemu still held his arm tightly.
After he subconsciously shook his arm, Pei Yuemu not only did not let go, but held him even tighter.
Pei Yuemu's eyes quickly turned red, and she pleaded with him in panic: "Zhuozhuo, I don't have any special abilities, please protect me."
Huo Zhuo was speechless.
This woman looks weak, but how come her hands are so strong!
I, a grown man, can't even get rid of her!
After all, Pei Yuemu was nominally his fiancée, so Huo Zhuo could only bite the bullet and answer, "Of course."
"You're amazing! I knew you were my hero!"
As soon as he finished answering, Pei Yuemu pointed him in a direction: "Huo Zhuo, there are mutants over there, go and destroy them!"
Just as they talked for a moment, the floor of the banquet hall seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand, leaving several bottomless cracks.
A mutant with a twisted and deformed body was slowly poking its body out from one of the deep cracks.
Its entire body is yellow-brown, and its surface is covered with a thick mucus that emits a foul smell. It looks like a monster crawling out of hell, and wherever it goes, it leaves a sticky, disgusting trail.
"Mom!"
Huo Zhuo took only one look and turned his head away, unable to bear to look at it, and vomited with a "wow".
Jiang Zhaosu and Qi Xing, who were hiding under the dining table, also saw the mutant.
The surroundings were in chaos and no one paid any attention to them.
Although it is not convenient for them to use their superpowers now, Qi Xing's banyan branches can protect them from being easily detected by mutants, so they are still safe.
Qi Xing finally stopped eating and started packing the small cakes into the space. As he packed, he commented: "The stench emitted by this mutant is comparable to that of a mutant giant rat."
He had to hurry up, otherwise the food on the table would be contaminated by the stench.
"A weasel?"
Jiang Zhaosu studied the species of this mutant.
Qi Xing: "This isn't what a weasel looks like, is it? Is there a genetic mutation?"
Jiang Zhaosu said, "It's possible. Didn't Pei Yuemu say there's a laboratory in this base? These mutants might have escaped from there and been modified. Aren't these experimental monsters often featured in novels?"
Qi Xing was impressed by these people: "Awesome."
They watched the mutant pounce on Huo Zhuo and Pei Yuemu.
"Should we save him?" Jiang Zhaosu asked Qi Xing.
"Need not."
As soon as the mutants moved away, Qi Xing started eating again: "Yu Nian has already gone. And Pei Yongyi is also there, maybe he will help save his daughter."
Jiang Zhaosu thought about it and agreed.
Observe for a while longer.
Huo Zhuo looked frightened. Purple light flickered in his hand for a long time, but he couldn't gather a ball of lightning.
Seeing the mutant opening its bloody mouth and rushing towards him, Huo Zhuo was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and his legs went weak.
The extreme fear made him completely lose his mind. In a panic, he actually reached out to Pei Yuemu beside him, trying to push Pei Yuemu over to use as a shield.
Just as his hand touched Pei Yuemu's shoulder, a deep and intimidating male voice suddenly rang out: "Stop."
Huo Zhuo's movements stopped instantly.
Even the mutant that was rushing towards him with its fangs and claws bared was strangely suspended in mid-air, unable to move.
