Chapter 53 The Person Has Been Caught
Sui Cheng walked at the front; this was indeed the cave where Xu Fei and the others had used to shelter from the rain.
“There are still fresh footprints on the ground.” Lu Zhi stretched his shoulders and said, “It seems the person is gone.”
He then asked his attendant, "What are you planning to do next?"
Following the carriage's gaze, the highest-ranking person here was Dang Hongyuan, so naturally, we should listen to him.
They went back and told Dang Hongyuan and Yang Xie the news, and both of them wanted to return to Xicheng to make further plans.
But before that, they had to destroy the laboratory.
They chose to exit in the direction they came from. Along the way, Yang Xie placed nano-bombs on them. These bombs were timed and would explode about ten minutes after they descended the mountain, without harming them.
The four of them quickly descended the mountain, found the car parked halfway up, and continued down the mountain road.
At a bend, spikes suddenly appeared on the ground, causing Yang Xie to veer sharply and crash directly into the mountainside.
Before the car had even come to a complete stop, there was a loud bang on the roof, and something jumped onto it.
The rider reacted quickly, freezing the contents of the container with ice.
"Is everything alright?"
They quickly unbuckled their seatbelts, grabbed their supply bags, and got out of the vehicle.
"Bang." The alien creature on the roof broke free of control and attacked the nearest law enforcement officer with one claw.
Lu Zhi remained motionless; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was completely paralyzed with fear.
Just as Sui Cheng was about to make a move, he saw Lu Zhi reach out and grab the claw that the alien was swinging at him. He immediately took a step back, swung his arm, and pulled the huge black bear alien off the car and threw it down the cliff.
"You really think I'm a sickly person? Cough!" He spat out a mouthful of blood right after saying that, which was a self-inflicted embarrassment.
"An accident, an accident." Lu Zhi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, without any embarrassment.
The servant remained silent, telling him to behave, and then shielded him behind him.
They heard a sound coming from the mountain; the car was no longer usable, so they had to quickly descend the mountain via a side road.
Dang Hongyuan looked up and saw countless strange creatures rushing down the mountain. He even saw a human figure at the very top. The figure looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
"Hurry up."
Yang Xie grabbed his hand, and the four of them rushed down the hillside and into the woods below.
The alien species quickly caught up. Lu Zhi snapped his fingers, and the trees behind him shook their branches and leaves. Countless cracks appeared in the ground, and withered vines burst out from the ground. The dense withered vines pierced through the alien species' body in an instant. Before anyone could see clearly, the corpse was pulled into the soil and became nutrients for the forest.
Sui Cheng glanced back casually and saw this scene, and the hand that Lu Zhi was holding tightened its grip.
"Shh, I'm fine. Let's go to a safe place first." Lu Zhi knew what he was going to say just by looking at his eyes.
Sui Cheng pursed his lips, lightning flashing in his hand, and countless bolts of lightning shot out from his hand, forming a lightning net between the tree trunks.
"Sizzle." The alien species was kept outside by the powerful lightning net.
Dang Hongyuan then threw several huge fireballs at the alien swarm.
The fireball and the lightning net collided, producing a cracking sound.
"Hurry!" Dang Hongyuan urged, "The bomb is about to explode."
They haven't reached the bottom of the mountain yet, so they have no choice but to give it their all.
"Jump."
Below was a ravine. As soon as they jumped down, the ground began to shake. A huge explosion came from the testing ground, as if it was going to blow the entire mountain apart.
However, Yang Xie controlled the number of nano-bombs perfectly, preventing the mountain from being blown apart. This caused trouble for the superhuman controlling the alien species on the mountain.
The sudden explosion left him stunned and bewildered. As the rocks tumbled down the mountain, he tumbled along with them. The alien creatures, out of control, ran rampant through the forest.
After a long while, the explosions finally stopped.
They climbed up the mountain pass, covered in dust and dirt.
"Wait, is there someone over there?" Dang Hongyuan saw the person who had rolled down the mountain, with injuries on his body, probably from the blast wave.
Yang Xie said, "Besides us, there's only that person who controls the alien species."
Dang Hongyuan was thinking the same thing. He probed the unconscious man's nose and examined his injuries. He found that his leg was broken, but it wasn't fatal.
"Take him back and interrogate him; we might be able to get information about the organization behind him."
If they catch this person, their trip won't be entirely in vain.
Yang Xie carried the man and quickly returned to the West City.
The special operations team and the reconnaissance team were still in that warehouse. As soon as they returned, the other squad leaders immediately came to report the situation.
One of the squads said they encountered people from Base One while patrolling the area.
I kept a watchful eye on things and eavesdropped carefully. The people at Base One said they were planning to return to base and that they had already gotten what they wanted, so there was no point in staying in the southwest anymore.
Upon hearing this, the first reaction of the passenger was that the people from Base One had obtained something extraordinary at that testing ground.
"Come on, wake this guy up and interrogate him properly." Yang Xie coldly tossed the unconscious superhuman to his team members.
The team members didn't ask where the person came from. They just took him aside, treated his injuries first, and then tried to wake him up.
"Cough cough." As soon as the man woke up, he saw the special forces members surrounding him. He was so frightened that he choked on his cough and almost choked to death.
"Come on, either you tell me, or..." The leader of the special forces team smiled, his outstretched hand holding a sharp ice spike—a blatant threat.
“You…” He recognized these people at a glance. They were Dang Hongyuan and Yang Xie’s subordinates. The leader was Ming Tongguang, the famous Smiling Fox of the Huaxia Base.
"Ailing, he doesn't seem willing to talk. Let's just take action."
Before the other person could even express their opinion, he didn't listen to a single explanation and instead had the petite girl next to him flick the superhuman's forehead.
In that instant, the superhuman felt as if his soul had been ejected from his body, his consciousness floating in the air, completely controlled and enveloped by a giant hand.
…
"What kind of superpower is this?" Lu Zhi thought the superpower this little girl was using looked pretty awesome.
Tan Qingjia said, "It was hypnosis using mental power."
Lu Zhi raised an eyebrow. Because he was born immune to mental power, he didn't know much about this kind of ability. He had only seen Tan Qingjia use it a few times. Controlling people and abilities was quite useful.
“The Party team has gotten the answer.”
While Lu Zhi was still curious, the girl named Ai Ling had already finished asking her questions, and Ming Tongguang threw the unconscious superhuman in front of Dang Hongyuan and the others.
"Team leaders, prepare for a meeting. Tong Guang, call Ai Ling along."
"yes."
