Chapter 206: Great Destruction
"We are outnumbered, and we will definitely suffer if they attack." Zhuang Mingxu could understand their approach. If he were in charge, he would definitely adopt the same plan. "This is the way to minimize losses."
Antonio high-fived Zhuang Mingxu for being recognized by someone.
"Do they know you're leaving?" Lin Yimu asked.
"We left quietly, but someone is watching us. We don't know how long we can hide it, so we'd better hurry and get on with our journey," Xu Sa replied.
Due to the unknown situation, no one wanted to sleep. Everyone chatted casually to pass the time, paying attention to the surroundings and the back from time to time.
At around seven in the morning, when it was just dawn, several consecutive explosions woke up the sleeping people, and then forces from all sides went out.
"What's going on?" Liu Dong stood at the door of his house, holding his wife He Mei in his arms, looking at He Kai who braked quickly.
"The laboratory exploded and everyone inside was killed," He Kai said breathlessly after greeting He Mei.
"Laboratory?" Liu Dong frowned. "What kind of research is going on in there?" He didn't even remember that there was such a place in the base.
He Kai shook his head and said, "There is a He Jun under Liu Mo. His girlfriend is a researcher there. He was engaged in weapons manufacturing before the end of the world."
"Weapons?" Liu Dong looked at He Kai in surprise.
He Kai nodded and continued, "I asked the people working inside, and they said that there were explosives and a lot of white phosphorus. After the explosion just now, some people were affected by the white phosphorus."
"White phosphorus, explosives," Liu Dong murmured in a low voice. He took a deep breath and looked at He Kai suddenly. "White phosphorus bomb!"
"...Could this be what Liu Dali is hiding?" He Kai asked.
Liu Dong did not answer, but asked, "What is Liu Dali's reaction?"
"No response," He Kai said, "Since the explosion, no one under his command has shown up at the scene. It's all people from other teams who are handling the situation and gathering information. I've already had people keep an eye on the villa area."
"Captain He, Brother Dong, something happened, something big happened..." As they were talking, a psychic who was obviously using up his superpowers ran over quickly.
He Kai helped him up, asked him to stand still, and asked, "What's wrong? Tell me slowly."
"There's no one left in the villa area, not a single person left." The person who ran over was panting with fear on his face.
"What do you mean?" Liu Dong frowned.
"It means exactly what it says. Everyone is missing. There is not a single living person left," said the psychic.
He Kai and Liu Dong looked at each other. Liu Dong took a coat from the room, asked He Mei to go home, and whispered to He Kai, "Go and see what's going on with the group of people outside the base?"
He Kai nodded and drove away. Liu Dong led his men to the villa. After asking about the situation in detail along the way, he thought about the follow-up procedures.
When the two arrived, a group of people had already gathered in the villa, including almost all of Liu Dali's sons, daughters and even several lovers. When the people who stayed here saw Liu Dong coming, they immediately trotted over and whispered about the situation here.
"There was no one in the whole villa. There were no signs of a fight. It was as if they had just disappeared. Some people's beds still had their quilts left, and there were signs of someone lying there."
It sounds like a supernatural event, but now is the end of the world, supernatural powers have appeared, so it’s nothing strange. Liu Dong asked, "Has anyone come in here?"
"No, the guard said he didn't see anyone."
Liu Dong nodded, looked at the fake sadness on the faces of the people around him, stood up and walked towards Liu Dali's room upstairs. A man who looked 50% like Liu Dong came over and said, "Brother, I have asked someone to investigate these things. Do you have any clues?"
Liu Dong shook his head and walked into the room. He saw the bed made out inside. There were obvious signs that someone had slept on it, and one could even tell the sleeping posture, but the person was gone.
He went around the other rooms twice and found no traces. He went downstairs indifferently and said to the "brothers and sisters-in-law" who looked over, "Everyone, let your subordinates look for it."
After saying this, he immediately led his people away without waiting for others to bother him.
At the same time, He Kai, who had gone to check the gate of the base, also came back. The two met at the door of their home. He Kai got directly into Liu Dong's car and said, "The person is gone. I don't know when he left."
"No one noticed?" If Liu Dali had an idea, he would arrange someone to keep an eye on it.
"No, Liu Dali originally sent one of his men with water-based abilities to keep an eye on them, but he watched in the middle of the night, and when the lights were turned off and everyone went to sleep, he went out to play with the women. We don't even know when they left." He Kai was extremely disgusted with the actions of Liu Dali's subordinates.
"The others are Liu Mo's people. They fell asleep in the middle of the night. Our people watched them and said they turned off the lights and went to bed around nine o'clock yesterday. We didn't find anything else. No one from other forces paid attention to them. In addition, there seemed to be something wrong with Liu Mo and his wife."
"What's wrong?" Liu Dong looked up at He Kai. He got up in a hurry and didn't have the beads on his wrist. He kept rubbing his two fingers.
"I can't explain it. Liu Mo usually relies on Jing Yang's ability to be extremely arrogant, but today he is timid and doesn't seem to want to deal with people. Jing Yang usually doesn't take us seriously at all, but today he seems to be very easy to talk to. I can't explain the feeling, it's like he lacks confidence, I just feel something is wrong." He Kai didn't know how to describe the behavior of the two men. "I asked someone to keep an eye on them. What's the situation on your side?"
Liu Dong briefly told him the situation.
"This... do you think they did it?" He Kai imagined the empty villa and the missing B-level psychic, and felt a little panicked.
"If not, why would they leave in the middle of the night?" Liu Dong said.
"Have they done something bad and are afraid of being held accountable?" He Kai thought of Ning Yuan and Xu Sa's smooth dealings, "But there is no evidence at all. If they leave in broad daylight, no one can prove that they did it, and there's nothing we can do."
"Hehe, is there anyone in this base who does things based on evidence?" Liu Dong laughed sarcastically, "However, they really don't seem to be afraid of trouble. Let's check if there is anything else we haven't discovered. Also, let the people below be prepared to deal with others at any time."
"Okay," He Kai said immediately.
It was not until the evening that everyone in the base learned about the missing supplies. The news came from Liu Mo's team.
The reason was that after Liu Mo and Yang Yang realized that their superpowers had disappeared, they knew they could not control their subordinates, so they wanted to quickly take a few subordinates with space-power users and some supplies away, and then deal with them. The supplies would naturally remain theirs. But when they opened the warehouse, they found it empty. Everyone was in a panic. Once the incident happened, the other teams naturally found out about it.
At first everyone was blaming each other, until they discovered that all the teams' warehouses had been damaged. After counting, they realized that all of Liu Mo's warehouses were gone, and the only one left was Liu Dong, who had two warehouses, while the others only had one.
"They are seeking revenge, right? It is said that Liu Mo and Jingyang have a grudge against a child in their team." He Kai looked at the supplies in the two warehouses that disappeared, feeling extremely distressed. "But what does this have to do with us?"
Liu Dong smiled and said, "Maybe it's the reward. Let the subordinates do the work. My brothers have been arrogant for too long."
"Aren't you waiting for the exact news from Liu Dali?" He Kai and the others did not take action right from the beginning because they were still concerned about the power in Liu Dali's hands.
"They can't come back," Liu Dong said, remembering Zheng Guohui's reminder, and said, "When you have time, send someone to test Jing Yang and Liu Mo. Uncle Zheng said that he couldn't feel the energy fluctuations of psychics on them, and he doubted whether they were still psychics."
"Can superpowers disappear?" He Kai was really frightened this time.
"The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders." Liu Dong was in a good mood. He took out his treasured tea and made a cup of it. He smelled the fragrance of the tea and said slowly.

Lu Weiyi and his group kept on traveling until they entered Anjiang City, when someone finally couldn't help but ask to find a place to rest.
“Whether I’m going to the toilet or in the car, I feel like I’m back in prison.” Xu Sa looked out of the small window of the car, stretched out his hand in a pretentious manner, and sang, “Iron door, iron window, iron chain, I hold the iron window and look outside…”
"Let's find a place to have a good rest. We've walked so far that they can't catch up with us." Lu Weiyi always drove at night, and Zhuang Mingxu felt really distressed for him.
"I want to upgrade," Li Zhuang, who was driving in front, calmly gave a better reason.
Lu Xi, who was checking the research materials he had brought back on the upper bunk opposite, put down the materials in his hand, came over, and said embarrassedly, "I think I'm here too."
Lu Weiyi calculated the time and took Zhuang Mingxu's map to see if there was a suitable place to stay. Zhuang Mingxu had already decided on the next village.
It was a small village, and before they got close, Li Zhuang was the first to send a message, "It seems there is someone."
"There is someone there, I saw the light," said Gu Qingji who was on guard on the roof of the car.
Hearing this, Lu Weiyi immediately got out of the car and climbed onto the roof.
Compared with the desolate other villages, this place is well organized. A circle of walls several people high blocks the road. There is no gate. A small house is built high on the side of the road, like a lookout tower. A little light can be seen, and someone is keeping watch.
"Who are you? Don't come any closer," someone shouted at them with a loudspeaker.
The road was cut off and they had nowhere to go even if they took a detour.
As a timeless diplomat, Xu Sa jumped out of the car first, and Liu Rui followed closely behind. Under the illumination of the truck lights, the two figures could be clearly seen, which also showed that they were not aggressive.
"Brother, we are just passing by and would like to borrow your way," Xu Sa shouted.
"The road here is blocked, you should go somewhere else." The people inside showed no intention of giving in.
"Brother, it's late at night and it's really inconvenient to go out. We are old and have children. Can you please give us some convenience?" Xu Sa even resorted to playing the pitiful game. It took at least three hours to return along the original route before there was another way to go. Looking at the map, it was obviously a long detour.
"No, you guys hurry up and leave, or I'll shoot," the man above said, and a gun barrel could be seen sticking out from inside.
Xu Sa might not be able to see it clearly, but Lu Weiyi could see it clearly through the nearby green branches. It was a powerful homemade gun, used for hunting in some remote villages.
