Chapter 373 Half-Belief and Half-Doubt
Seeing that Wan Hao had realized the key to the matter, Meng Ping continued, "You are right. The problem is indeed with this team. I'm afraid you won't believe it, but this team has less than 5,000 people, but there are three level 4 psychics among them! There are also two others whose strength is at least at the peak of level 3!"
"What!" Wan Hao exclaimed when he heard it, "How is this possible? Are you sure? Did you see it right?"
Deng Hong had wanted to keep Wan Hao in suspense, but when he heard this, he interrupted and said, "Did you see it wrong? Do you think Meng Ping and I both saw it wrong at the same time? The strength of those three people is quite terrifying! They are not only level 4 psychics, but they are definitely the most powerful among level 4 psychics! I think that even if Ji Chengtian can successfully advance, he will not be a match for any of them!"
Wan Hao was somewhat skeptical. He felt that Deng Hong's words were too exaggerated. Although Ji Chengtian was not kind and arrogant, he was indeed quite capable. Otherwise, they would not dare to disobey him. He couldn't help but be a little suspicious. Could it be that Deng Hong and Meng Ping had fallen into the hands of this team and deliberately said this to shirk their responsibilities?
Deng Hong and Meng Ping saw his suspicion. He sighed and said, "You may not believe it, but it's true. At first, we didn't believe it when we saw it. We thought it was too exaggerated for two level 4 mutants to appear at the same time. But then a zombie group of 50,000 to 60,000 suddenly appeared. We all thought it would be a tough battle. But before we could even start, a woman suddenly rushed into the zombie group riding a mutant ragdoll cat. She had a long knife in her hand, and the zombies' heads flew up one by one as she swung it."
He paused here, and seeing Wan Hao's surprised face, he continued: "Don't think I'm exaggerating, this is not the most amazing thing. She is a fourth-level wood-type mutant. Later, she scattered a handful of seeds or something, and then those things turned into wooden arrows in mid-air, and shot densely at the zombies around. With just that one skill, she killed at least tens of thousands of zombies!"
"Fuck!" Wan Hao couldn't help but curse. Seeing Meng Ping's eyes widened, he swallowed and asked in doubt, "Really...really? Are fourth-level psychics really that powerful? No! You said she is a fourth-level wood-type psychic? When did wood-type psychics have such terrible lethality? Aren't they all responsible for treatment and planting?"
Meng Ping sighed, with an expression that said "you finally figured it out", which made Wan Hao feel quite uncomfortable. He subconsciously imagined the scene Meng Ping described in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more horrified he felt - was it true that one skill could kill tens of thousands of zombies? Was Meng Ping really not dreaming?
After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Um... could it be that you were under the spell of a psychic?"
Meng Ping shook his head and said with certainty: "It's definitely not an illusion! I'm sure of that! In addition to her, there are two level 4 psychics, one is wind-type and the other seems to be gold-type, both of them are quite powerful. Moreover, I always feel that they have not yet used their true strength!"
When he said this, not only Wan Hao was shocked, but Deng Hong beside him was also shocked, and he exclaimed directly: "No way? Meng Ping, are you serious? They are so powerful, and you actually said that is not their true strength? Then how terrible are their true strengths?"
Wan Hao nodded vigorously. He felt that Deng Hong was right! Being so strong was incredible. If it was really as Meng Ping said, those three people would be even more powerful. Are they still human?
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Meng Ping felt helpless and emphasized, "They give me a very unfathomable feeling!" He glanced at Wan Hao and said, "You'll know when you see them."
Wan Hao believed what Meng Ping said about Fang Yuxin killing tens of thousands of zombies with one move, but he didn't believe what Meng Ping said later. He secretly thought that Meng Ping probably witnessed the shocking scene with his own eyes and was frightened, so he had such an idea.
However, he did not dwell on this question, but asked: "Then what? How did you get into Ping An Base? Didn't they make things difficult for you?" He paused and asked hesitantly, "What about the others? Are they all okay?"
Deng Hong spoke first: "Don't worry, no one is fine. We had just started fighting for a while when these people appeared. They didn't make things difficult for us and asked us to surrender. At that time, they sent out two level 4 psychics. Meng Ping and I felt that we were no match for them. If we really fought, we didn't know how many of our men would die, so we surrendered."
Wan Hao was not a fool. After thinking about it, he understood the key: "Then you stay here...are you planning to join them? Do you have any other plans? If these people are really so powerful, I'm afraid they won't be willing to stay in this small base?" He thought about it as he spoke.
He could guess what Deng Hong and Meng Ping were planning. As long as he put himself in their shoes, he would know what they would do. What he was not sure about was how these people compared to Ji Chengtian. If they were even more extreme than Ji Chengtian, wouldn't their situation be even worse?
Meng Ping saw what he was thinking and smiled: "Look at us, what do you think of our current situation?"
Wan Hao was confused at first, but after looking at him for a while, he came to his senses. Deng Hong and Meng Ping surrendered, and so far, nothing happened to them, which means that those people should not be ruthless.
Of course, this was just his guess. As for whether the other party had made any hidden moves, he couldn't tell.
Meng Ping continued, "Wu Ke prepared a sumptuous dinner for them tonight. Although our portion was a little less, we didn't go hungry. Later, they used the crystal core to buy some food from Wu Ke. Wu Ke also invited the fourth-level wood-type mutant to help treat the wounded in the base, and she agreed. When we attacked the city, many people in Ping An Base were injured, but when she took action, all those people survived, and no one died!"
Wan Hao listened silently, and suddenly felt that Meng Ping's words seemed quite convincing. First of all, these people were so powerful, and they had entered the base. It would only take a few minutes to take over this small Ping An base, but they did not do so. Instead, they used precious crystal cores to buy food from Wu Ke, which made people feel good about them.
Their Long Province is a large grain-producing province, so many bases are not short of grain for the time being. Although this Ping'an base is small, it should not be short of grain either. In comparison, crystal cores are much more precious. This thing can only be found in the brains of zombies. The Ping'an base is small in scale and there are not many powerful people. For them, hunting crystal cores is not easy, and exchanging them with grain is too cost-effective.
In addition, the higher the level of the psychic, the higher the status, and it is inevitable that some people will be arrogant and look down on others, just like Ji Chengtian. Especially the wood psychic, because they have the ability to heal and promote plant growth, they can be said to be blessed by nature, so they are treated more preferentially than psychics of other systems, and the higher the level, the more attention they are paid.
In their Chengtian base, there are quite a few wood-type psychics, and there are even third-level wood-type psychics. However, almost all of these wood-type psychics are controlled by Ji Chengtian and other bigwigs, and they serve these people exclusively. It is not easy for others to get treatment when they are injured.
With his status and position as Deng Hong and Meng Ping, he didn't have to worry about not being able to get treatment if he was injured, but the cost of treatment was quite high, and he had to provide for them. The psychics below, those with better strength could also find wood psychics for treatment, but those with weaker strength would be miserable.
The situation was even worse for other small bases nearby. After those small bases were controlled, most of the wood-type mutants inside were taken to Chengtian Base, leaving only a few people, all of whom were controlled. Others were injured and wanted treatment, but the treatment fee was frighteningly expensive. It was very likely that their gains in a day would not be enough to cover the treatment fee!
Therefore, some people who are not very strong will become very desperate when they get injured because they simply cannot afford the cost of treatment!
Wan Hao was actually very upset about this matter, but Ji Chengtian was quite persistent. Several other big guys in Chengtian Base were also in cahoots with him. He mentioned it vaguely, but Ji Chengtian became quite angry and he didn't dare to say anything more.
So after listening to Meng Ping's words, Wan Hao felt that even if the people who came this time were not very good, they should be better than Ji Chengtian. What's more, these people were quite strong. If they were in control of Chengtian Base, would the situation be better?
Meng Ping went on to say, "I've inquired about it. Although the three of them don't often take action when encountering a group of zombies, and most of the time they leave it to others to deal with, as long as they encounter danger, they will take the initiative to take action and will not let their men pay with their lives. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I think it's true. They don't have to put on a show in front of us, right? Even if they did, they wouldn't rush into the zombie group alone. At that time, only the three of them took action, and the others didn't move! I secretly looked at the expressions of those people, and they seemed to have gotten used to it."
Wan Hao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you serious? Are they really that good?"
Meng Ping thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how good they are, but I think they are better than Ji Chengtian and are trustworthy."
Wan Hao's eyes flashed, he pondered for a moment, slammed his fist on the table, and asked directly: "So what are your plans next?"
