Chapter 111 Base Encirclement
Lu Zhi left just like that, and Yang Xie saw it but didn't say anything.
After thinking for a few seconds, Sui Cheng took the initiative to say to him, "Lawyer thinks there might be something going on over there."
Yang Xie was somewhat surprised that Sui Cheng would actually explain, and he began to ponder this.
They had long suspected the identity of the law enforcer and were wary of him, so the accompanying person took the initiative to explain in order to put their minds at ease.
The lawyer had already arrived at the tollbooth and could clearly sense the presence of people, but he couldn't see them.
"Tch." He closed his eyes, released his mental energy, and the surrounding scene unfolded clearly in his mind.
"Sizzle" is the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air.
Lu Zhi neither dodged nor evaded; the sharp blade was right in front of him when all he saw was a flash of silver light.
The vines wrapped around the attacker's hand, and with a forceful tug, his wrist snapped, and his weapon fell to the ground.
Lu Zhi opened his eyes; he was already surrounded.
There were seven people dressed in black with their faces covered. Each of them had four incomplete spider legs on their backs and sharp double swords on their hands, which indicated their human identity.
They charged at Lu Zhi simultaneously, the spikes on their spider legs dripping with venom.
Lu Zhi remained calm and moved his wrists. Seven vines twisted behind him and wrapped around their necks as they approached. Thorns sprouted from the vines and pierced their throats.
"boom"
The monsters' bodies spontaneously combusted, and the vines quickly retracted.
It rubbed against Lu Zhi's hand, looking aggrieved, as if it were pouting.
"Hoo." Lu Zhi exhaled, his eyes darkening, and with a flicker, he disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was behind the monsters, his hand gripping one of them by the neck, forcefully pressing the man to the ground.
At the same time, the other six figures shattered and disappeared.
It turns out these were all his clones.
The law enforcement officer had already sensed this.
"Cough cough." The man made a painful sound; only his eyes could be seen beneath the mask.
"Gelsemium, you're still alive?"
This is a member of a new faction who knows Lu Zhi but doesn't know his real name.
How many of you came?
Lu Zhi's hand was burned by the flames, but he seemed not to feel the pain. His fingers were tightly gripping the man's neck, and with just a little more force, he could snap it.
"Purpose..." This person was originally keeping his mouth shut and unwilling to say anything, but Lu Zhi's mental power invaded his mind and forced him to speak.
"We're stalling you; the organization's goal is the base."
The short sentence contained a huge amount of information, even catching the lawyer off guard.
He frowned and asked again, "Whose orders?"
"Duan Zian".
Ritsu remembered this name; one of the original owner's suitors, a superhuman known as the strongest hunter.
Why attack the base?
"Number One..."
Before the man could finish speaking, something exploded in his mind, and he instantly lost his life.
Lu Zhi dodged the splattered blood and brain matter, staring at the corpse for a few seconds, his mind wandering.
If something happens at the base, the crew won't just ignore it, especially since my sister is still at the base. If we don't tell the crew, the consequences are unimaginable.
So Lu Zhi hesitated for only a few seconds before manipulating the vines on Sui Cheng's body to tell him what had happened here.
Upon hearing the message he relayed, the passenger swayed and was struck squarely in the shoulder.
Lu Zhi was a little angry and lowered his voice, saying, "What's the rush? Focus."
After regaining his senses, Sui Cheng sternly ordered Chen Jiang and the others to attack with all their might. After killing Guang Yuanliang, he walked towards Dang Hongyuan without stopping for a moment.
“The Party and the new generation’s target is the base; they are deliberately stalling us.”
Upon hearing this, Dang Hongyuan disregarded everything else and hurriedly opened the car door, demanding sternly, "Is the news true?"
“It’s true.” Lu Zhi’s voice came from not far away. He was dragging a headless corpse in his hand. He said in a lazy tone, “The new generation of people. I got the information out of him. I reckon there will be one or two ability users along the way to buy time.”
"Why would the new faction suddenly attack the base?" Dang Hongyuan frowned, asking as he told the others to get in the car and leave.
"Perhaps it's related to Base One." When asked, Lu Zhi only heard the word "Base One," and his subconscious feeling was that it was related to Base One.
They set off again, and just as Lu Zhi had predicted, they encountered attacks from superhumans or other alien species every few kilometers.
But they just rammed into it, leaving those things behind.
"If something really happened at the base, why is there no signal?"
While in the car, Dang Hongyun raised a question.
He didn't disbelieve Suicheng and Lüzhi's words; he doubted whether what they asked was true. If it really was Base One, then what was their purpose?
Yang Xie patted his clenched hand and said in a deep voice, "Because of the Haicheng incident, one-third of the base's forces are outside, including us, and none of them are inside the base."
Dang Hongyuan frowned: "They think this is a good time to invade? Is Base One really that confident?"
"Perhaps?" Yang Xie said in a low voice, "It's not like there haven't been instances of alien species besieging cities before."
Dang Hongyuan's expression changed drastically.
The siege by alien species occurred in the second month after the apocalypse.
At that time, the base had just been established in Yangcheng, a city on a vast plain. The high walls were under construction when it was suddenly attacked by aliens one night.
They fought for three days to save the base.
Dang Hongyuan does not want to see that scene again.
When they were more than 30 kilometers away from the base, they finally saw the base's alarm signal.
At the same time, air raid sirens also sounded.
Dang Hongyuan's heart sank.
Yang Xie reassured him, "Since the base's signal is only being sent out now, it proves that the base hadn't been attacked yet, and we've caught up."
"Yes, I know."
The closer they got to the base, the more mutants they encountered, and they even saw other mutant teams returning to the base.
"The Party!"
Those people relaxed a little when they saw Dang Hongyuan and his group.
"What exactly is going on?"
The alarm startled them so much that they abandoned their mission and rushed back to base.
"I don't know, we'll talk about it when we get back."
They were clearing out the alien species along the way, and they probably wouldn't have been able to keep up if they hadn't been armed.
In the car that accompanied them, Lu Zhi held tightly to the hand of the passenger, closed his eyes, and spread his spiritual power over a wide area.
This was the first time he had used so much mental energy, and his face suddenly turned pale.
“330 common mutants, 56 advanced mutants, and 3 super mutants.” Lu Zhi opened his eyes and said with a solemn expression, “It seems that the new generation is quite generous this time.”
"But what is their purpose in attacking the base?" Sui Cheng didn't think that this would be enough to take down their base.
