Chapter 166 Another Looting
The lawyer waited until they finished fighting before making his move.
Green vines rushed up from behind them and released a powerful mental force before they could react. Caught off guard, they fell to their knees.
"The message said there was only one mutant, how come another one has appeared?" One of them quickly set up an energy shield, enduring the oppressive force, and kept firing at the vines.
"Looking for death." Lu Zhi sneered inwardly. The vines, leaving afterimages, wrapped around the neck of the person behind him and snapped it completely.
"It doesn't seem like a mutant; it's more like someone is controlling this vine."
Our whereabouts have been exposed?
"That shouldn't be the case. I didn't sense any human presence nearby."
They searched everywhere for vines, but the vines would disappear and reappear, and with a scream, another one of them died.
Once Lu Zhi found out who the leader of this group was, he stopped delaying and dealt with the others before forcibly invading the leader's mind with his mental power.
Lawyers are too lazy to do slow interrogation and such; they'd rather be direct.
After forcibly obtaining the memories of the group's leader, Lu Zhi quickly disposed of their corpses, then went to the alien corpse they had just killed, absorbed all its energy, and left.
This group of people are plunderers.
But it wasn't the plunder within China's borders; it came from outside.
After escaping, Wei Lesheng had a premonition that something bad would happen to the new generation, so he went abroad with his South Korean lover and is now carrying out another raid at the federal base.
Lu Zhi clicked his tongue, truly unable to understand what this person was after.
The vines soon returned.
Sui Cheng woke up at the sound of rustling, tugged at Lu Zhi's hand, and whispered, "Is it resolved?"
"It's solved, and we even found some other surprises." Lu Zhi leaned closer and whispered all the information in his ear.
The servant frowned slightly: "It seems that the people from Guangdong might also be involved in the looting."
Lu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "I remember Xuan Linwen said that Wei Lesheng originally had close ties with the United States, so it's not surprising that he fled there."
"Okay." Sui Cheng summarized all the current information and then sent it directly to Dang Hongyuan.
The alien species in District Seven have been wiped out by the Law Enforcers.
They left District 7 as soon as it was light.
After several days of travel, we finally arrived in Guangdong.
"Interesting." Lu Zhi controlled the alien species he found on the road, sending them ahead to scout the situation. However, unexpectedly, in a place called Qingyuan City, those alien species were wiped out.
"It came so easily, it seems this is the place." Lu Zhi placed his hand outside, and a section of vine split into several branches, each heading in a different direction.
The servant opened the map and looked at it, then said in a deep voice, "Let's find a secluded place. Be careful not to let the people inside find us."
"Understood." Lu Zhi snapped his fingers, his mental energy enveloping the car so that no one could detect them unless they got too close.
“There are quite a few people inside.” Lu Zhi closed his eyes, connecting with the perspective from the other side of the vines.
The interior of Qingyuan City was a wasteland, as if it had been through a great storm. But there was only one place where the wasteland had been cleared away and a simple camp had been built with simple metal. A team of five people, all dressed in tattered clothes and carrying guns, patrolled around.
The vines crept into the room through the crack in the door, and as soon as they entered, they heard the voices of several people talking.
Moreover, the two names mentioned in the conversation were ones that Lu Zhi knew.
Zhong Ling and Zhong Qi.
"Tsk." Lu Zhi felt that these two were like succubi, and everyone was after them. No matter what Zhang Jun thought when they went back, these two could not be allowed to live.
The vines were stuck in the corner of the wall, quietly listening to the conversation of these people.
"How much longer are we going to stay here?" asked the woman sitting at the very back.
The man opposite her replied, "At least half a month."
"Half a month won't do; the Chinese base will find us sooner or later." The last person was a foreigner.
“They should have already discovered us.” The woman stood up and said, “We shouldn’t underestimate the Chinese base. Although we smuggled ourselves in during the Great Anomaly, they have always maintained defenses along the coast. I’m not sure if any of the people we’re clearing out have escaped.”
"Then what are we still doing here?" the foreign man cursed angrily.
“Mark, calm down, I know what Ruth means.”
“Well, China may have already sent people over. Shouldn’t we avoid them?” Mark asked.
The man called "Yu" shook his head and said, "It's not the right time yet. Right now, it takes a lot of checks for outsiders to get into the Huaxia base. We need a new identity."
Mark paused for a moment and then said, "You mean you want to use a Chinese identity?"
Ruth said, "That's right, that's what we think. We're new to China and unfamiliar with the place. The information we have comes from Wei Lesheng, so we don't know how reliable it is."
Upon hearing Wei Lesheng's name, a hint of disgust flashed in Mark's eyes. He said, "Wei Lesheng is not trustworthy. He's a two-faced person."
Ruth scoffed, "He's more than just a two-faced guy; he's a multifaceted one and a fence-sitter."
Judging from their tone, you could tell that this group wasn't with Wei Lesheng, and they might even have a grudge against each other.
Lu Zhi had a strange feeling, as if this group of people had been tricked by Wei Lesheng.
He continued listening to the group talk about the information Wei Lesheng had given them.
"The person we need to be most wary of at the Huaxia base is Yang Xie. He holds a high position in the base and his superpower is energy control, which almost no one can resist. If he comes to deal with us, we will have to retreat."
"Is this the only one? Didn't you say there was another very strong dual-elemental ability user?" Mark asked hesitantly.
"With his dual ice and lightning attributes, he shouldn't be as difficult to deal with as the evil spirit."
...
Now the law enforcement officers can confirm that Wei Lesheng downplayed the role of the attendant in the information he gave them, and didn't even mention his existence.
The vines left the room and wandered around to other places, where they found five boxes in a very secure room.
The box was specially made to block mental energy, so he couldn't see what was inside.
The vines searched the box thoroughly but found nothing.
Lu Zhi, being cautious, left one vine here, while the rest returned to their original form.
"Why did that guy named Wei Lesheng lure all these people here?" Sui Ling asked curiously, leaning against the back of the chair.
"Awoo." Wenwen had already climbed into the servant's arms, holding a milk bottle and eating very seriously, her two short legs swaying back and forth.
Lu Zhi pulled Wenwen out of Suicheng's arms and then lay down on him himself.
The servant looked at him, a grown man, still vying for attention with his son, and a hint of doting smile flashed in his eyes. He held a strand of his hair with his fingertips and thought for a moment, "We can wait and see."
