Chapter 167 The Only One in the World
They kept observing until nightfall, and the group actually continued to linger in the city, as if waiting for the base to send people to arrest them.
The attendant allowed the law enforcement officer to take direct action.
While teasing Wenwen, Lu Zhi whistled, and the lurking aliens moved at the sound, attacking the camp of the group that had been plundering.
The group of people who were plundering initially thought it was people from the base and got excited, but when they saw that it was a mutant, their expressions immediately changed.
They are the ones controlling the alien species; how could they not see that these alien species are all being controlled?
The person controlling the alien species must be nearby.
“Mark, you and Ruth go look for someone nearby. Someone who can control so many mutants must be a very strong psychic ability user.”
“Okay.” Mark and Ruth quickly ran towards the place where the alien had appeared.
The lawyers are just waiting for them to come to them on their own initiative.
He sat on the hood of the car, and Mark and Ruth saw him as soon as they arrived.
"Alone?" Ruth glanced at the car where Lu Zhi was sitting with some skepticism. It had one-way windows, so they couldn't see if anyone else was inside.
"Are you the one who controls the aliens?" Mark didn't sense any danger from Lu Zhi, so he assumed he was being used as bait.
Seeing him rushing straight up, Lu Zhi raised an eyebrow and revealed a carefree smile, "I've seen people rushing to their deaths, but I've never seen anyone so eager to come and die."
Mark paused, feeling a powerful aura pressing down on him.
Lu Zhi sat motionless on the hood of the car, a cold glint flashing in his deep green eyes, exuding an astonishing aura.
The vines swayed in front of him, and to Mark's astonishment, they shot straight up at him.
Mark wasn't killed by the vines outright, but he was entangled and unable to move his limbs, collapsing to the ground.
"Come, go kill her." Lu Zhi's voice carried an irresistible spiritual bewitching power, and Mark's eyes instantly lost focus.
"Go."
When Ruth saw Mark walking towards her, she immediately felt a sense of panic, shouted his name, and tried to stop him with her skill.
But Mark was completely under control.
Lu Zhi propped his head up with one hand, watching the spectacle of them killing each other with amusement.
Those who ride along can also see the good show outside.
Sui Ling clicked her tongue and said, "Brother Lu really has a wicked sense of humor."
The passenger smiled helplessly; the law enforcement officer had quite a few quirky tastes, and this was nothing compared to the others.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Ruth realized that continuing like this was not an option, and she now had two choices.
First, eliminate the law enforcement officer directly, freeing Mark from control.
Secondly, she ran back to get help.
But judging from the current situation, this handsome man must be very strong to be able to control Mark so easily. She definitely can't beat him alone, so the second option is the only viable one.
Lu Zhi could tell she was trying to escape. His eyes narrowed, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Trying to run? No way."
Ruth pretended to fight Mark, but actually slowly created distance between them. Then, she seized the opportunity, gathered her energy at her feet, and ran away.
But she had only run less than three meters when a vine attacked from behind, piercing her chest before she had any time to react.
"Wh...what?" Ruth looked incredulous. She tried to use her powers to break free from the vines, but found that her powers were rapidly decreasing. She soon realized that she was being devoured by the vines.
It wasn't just her energy; it seemed her soul had been drained as well.
"Tsk." Lu Zhiqian glanced at the woman's memories, found a few important pieces of information, and then casually flicked his wrist. The woman's powers were drained, and she lay half-dead on the ground.
Mark was in the same terrible state.
Lu Zhi walked to the car window, knocked, and after the passenger opened it, he said with a joking smile, "I'm thinking of sending a gift to the remaining people. What do you think?"
The attendant's gaze swept over his face, and it was clear that Lu Zhi was having quite a bit of fun. He asked, "What did you see in them?"
“These are all unimportant matters.” Lu Zhi grinned sinisterly. “Let me give the rest of the people a big gift.”
The person accompanying him only reminded him to be mindful of his behavior and did not stop him.
As for the grand gift that Lu Zhi had mentioned, he used vines to wrap up the two people and then sent them directly back to the plundering camp.
It's already night, and the sky is pitch black.
Yu Shuang was still wondering why Mark and Ruth hadn't returned when suddenly, a scream came from outside the camp.
He rushed out to look and found two familiar figures in the shadows, their limbs stiff, as if they were being forcibly held up.
Yu Shuang wanted to go closer to take a look, and suddenly, he saw a trace that looked like a vine, which confirmed his guess.
"Everyone on alert! Open fire immediately! Mark and Ruth are dead. These are controlled corpses."
They had never heard of corpses being controlled, but after seeing the vines on the two corpses, everything made sense.
"Captain Yu, is it a mutant or a human?" someone asked as they fired at the corpses of Mark and Ruth, turning them into a mangled mess.
"It doesn't feel like human aura; it's from another species." Yu Shuang released her supernatural power and touched the aura emanating from the vines, only to be immediately repelled.
"Could it be that the Chinese base also has systems for controlling alien species?"
Yu Shuang saw the vines fall silently to the ground and assumed they had lost control, so she condensed an energy shield and cautiously approached with the people around her.
The vines remained unresponsive, so Yu Shuang gestured for the others to check Mark and Ruth's bodies.
He was even bolder, picking up the lifeless vines on the ground and examining them closely.
"Ivy?"
Upon recognizing it, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to throw away the vines, but it was too late.
A sneer rang out, but the source of the sound could not be found.
The vines, which had been unresponsive, suddenly came to life, wrapping around his wrist and shattering his energy shield.
"Commendable courage." Lu Zhi said lazily, sitting in the passenger seat, playing with the passenger's hand with one hand, while the other hand was invisiblely manipulating the vines.
Yu Shuang was also a ruthless person. She directly used a knife to cut her own arm, severing the vines and leaving a bloody wound on her arm.
"That bastard Wei Lesheng, he must have been hiding information." After thinking about it carefully, Yu Shuang realized that Wei Lesheng had never told them about the powerful and noteworthy alien species within China.
He knew about this ivy entirely because Cecil had mentioned it when he was still alive.
There is only one such mutant in the entire world with the ability to devour other mutants.
