Chapter 437 Heading to Kyoto
On the other side, Dean had it a little easier. He first stopped the bleeding on Gu Qingji's body, then turned around to help Liu Rui put his arm back on. He reached out his hand to touch the skin and felt sticky, feeling something was wrong. He frowned and called the water-based mutant, "Help clean his whole body. I suspect it's poisonous."
He rubbed the finger he had just touched, feeling a little stinging. Looking at the fingertips that had instantly turned red, he used his other hand to help Xu Sa recover from the external injuries and asked, "What is this?"
"It's the mutant octopus's mucus, and he was sucked in by the mutant octopus's suction cup." Xu Sa was the least injured. After the repair, except for the transition of his supernatural powers, he had no other problems.
Gu Qingji, Ning Yuan and Lu Weiyi suffered serious bone injuries, and their base did not have the conditions to perform complete surgery, so Antonio notified Zhuang Mingxu immediately.
The fatal injury had just been repaired when the emergency brake sounded. Zhuang Mingxu rushed over and said, "I have contacted Kyoto. They are preparing a hospital immediately. You can fly a helicopter there. It will take at most an hour."
"Xiaoyi?" He approached Lu Weiyi and called softly.
Lu Weiyi turned around slowly, his eyes turned red as he tried to laugh.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, my uncle has asked someone to prepare a doctor, it will be ready soon." Someone came up with a stretcher at the dock, and Zhuang Mingxu carefully carried the person on it.
Several people were carried towards the helicopter on West Island. Zhuang Mingxu lagged behind and said, "Xu Yi, you go with Dean. Be careful on the way. Save their lives at all costs."
"yes"
"rest assured"
The two quickly caught up with the team in front.
"Antonio, you bring..."
"I...Brother Zhuang, I'll go with them..." Gu Qingyue ran over breathlessly.
"You have something else to do," Zhuang Mingxu said calmly, "Take the three team members with you."
"You're not going?" Antonio asked Li Yan to gather the team and get on the plane first, and asked,
"I'll take care of the rest." Zhuang Mingxu turned to the sea with a firm look in his eyes.
"Brother Mingxu, where is my brother? What happened to my brother?" Lu Xiren shouted as soon as he landed on West Island.
"I'm injured and need to go to Kyoto for surgery." Zhuang Mingxu pulled him over and said, "Lu Xi, besides your brother, you have the strongest psychic ability in the base. I need you to protect the helicopter from being attacked by mutant birds along the way and get to Kyoto as quickly as possible. Is that okay?"
"Sure," Lu Xi assured without hesitation.
"Li Yan, go to Minister Lin and get a batch of crystal core rocket launchers for installation." Zhuang Mingxu and others took Lu Xi back to the villa, replaced all his space data instruments, and filled the entire space with purification crystal cores.
There were so many of them that Lu Xi was a little scared.
"This operation is very important. We must ensure its success. If it doesn't work, we can use the crystal core to smash a path. Do you understand?"
"I know." Lu Xi put it away carefully.
When they returned to West Island, the team members had already assembled. Li Zhuang stood at the door of the cabin, frowned and asked, "I'm not going?"
"No, you stay for more important things," Zhuang Mingxu said in a firm tone. He pushed Lu Xi over and looked at Antonio. "You are responsible this time. Ensure the success of the operation at all costs."
Antonio made a reassuring gesture and closed the hatch quickly.
Watching the helicopter take off into the distance, Zhuang Mingxu's aura suddenly changed, as if he had made some important decision, and his whole body was filled with a determination as strong as a mountain.
"Have you found out the specific situation?" Zhuang Mingxu turned around and asked the people who were following him.
"We found out that they were attacked by a mutant octopus. According to the crew members, its size was incalculable, and it had more than a dozen tentacles with suction cups. When everyone was caught off guard, the boat was sucked by it."
"The base commander and his teammates rescued a few people, but the other side was too big and any wounds seemed insignificant. They then used weapons to help kill the mutant octopus, and then they came back. The body of the mutant octopus was towed back by the boat, and someone was already salvaging it to the shore. It looks like... the tentacles are nearly a hundred meters long."
Zhuang Mingxu glanced in the direction of the dock, where a team was working together to drag the ship upwards. The huge tentacles could be seen from such a distance, and he imagined how dangerous it would be if they came into close contact.
Zhuang Mingxu took a deep breath and said to Li Zhuang, "Contact Xiong Jie, Wu Yue, and all the captains of the Superpower Union. They will have a meeting in an hour. The base has important decisions to implement, and you should come along." He looked at Gu Qingyue who was still looking at the distance with a worried look.
**
On the helicopter, Xu Sa held Liu Rui's hand in silence, while Dean and Xu Yi kept looking back and forth between the other people to observe the situation.
Lu Xi knelt on the ground and wiped the cold sweat from Lu Weiyi's forehead, tears falling from her eyes.
"Don't cry, or he will worry about you again." Li Yan patted his shoulder and said, "Go to the front, there will be more mutant birds when you enter the city."
Lu Xi nodded, Lin Mo reached out and took the towel from his hand, whispering, "It's up to you, I'll take care of him."
They had to hurry and did not need a weapons operator. Antonio moved Lu Xi to the co-pilot seat and asked him to observe the surrounding situation and be ready to use his mental power to protect the plane at any time.
"I will be controlling the flying knives to assist you from outside, so you should save your supernatural powers to avoid not being able to make it to Kyoto."
"I know." Lu Xi's eyes were firm, holding a crystal core in his hand, looking ready to replenish his supernatural powers at any time.
"Let it help." Gu Qingji's voice was so soft that it could not be noticed amid the hum of the plane unless someone was watching carefully.
"Qingji, Brother Qingyue has other tasks, we will be back soon." Dean thought he wanted to ask Gu Qingyue, and said loudly.
Gu Qingji raised his hand, and the mutant vine on his wrist crawled down and twisted towards Dean. Antonio guessed what he meant, reached out and grabbed it, leaned over and asked, "Is it okay to just let it go?"
Gu Qingji's eyes flickered.
Antonio immediately stood up, placed the small mutant vine at the hatch, and reached out to open a gap.
The mutant vine immediately grew and spread, wrapping around the straight machine. The fingernail-sized leaves were not conspicuous, but when a huge mutant eagle flew over from afar, it was suddenly slapped in the face by the mutant vine and fell to the ground.
Antonio's flying blade attached to the nose of the plane stopped in mid-air and then attached itself to the fuselage again as the plane moved forward rapidly.
With the help of the mutant vines, any mutant birds they encountered along the way were blown away, until a group of sparrows the size of basketballs appeared and rushed towards the plane like a swarm covering the sky.
"Lu Xi!" Antonio shouted.
"I know." Lu Xi was calm. The mental power threads wrapped the entire fuselage, and all the mutant sparrows flying over hit the mental power barrier.
The small impact force became extremely strenuous under the influence of hundreds of times. The mental barrier was constantly broken and quickly replaced by Lu Xi.
At this moment, he finally understood why Zhuang Mingxu and Antonio both thought that he couldn't do it. Being constantly attacked like this would indeed consume his energy very quickly.
Antonio and other people with special abilities were also busy. They all used their special abilities to clear out the mutant birds that were chasing and blocking them. Even so, they were still stretched to the limit.
"Captain, do you feel that there are obviously more mutant animals this year? We didn't feel there were so many when we went out last year." Lin Mo also controlled the metal assistant Lu Xi, and could clearly see corpses falling to the ground and coming from the surrounding areas.
"Yes, the research institute at the Kyoto base sent a research report to the whole country. Except for humans, the reproductive capacity of all living things has been greatly enhanced." Li Yan's fire-type ability user did not dare to use it in front of the nose of the plane, so he could only use it at the tail.
"Isn't this a trend that will lead to human extinction?" Lin Mo complained. Noticing that the angle of the mutant bird's collision was off, he asked cautiously, "Lu Xi, are you okay?"
"It's okay. I changed the state of the mental barrier. It is now at acute angles of less than fifteen degrees in all directions. This way, the mutant birds flying over will be dispersed to both sides by the angles in the distance and will not produce direct impact force. The mental barrier can last longer."
Lin Mo didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, he turned to ask Li Yan, "What did he mean?"
"Never try to understand the minds of top students and art students," Li Yan reminded.
Even with Lu Xi's cleverness, the other side was outnumbered and in a hurry to die. By the time Lu Xi arrived at the Kyoto base, he had already overdrawn his supernatural powers several times and had to use crystal cores to hold on.
Lu Xiao and his team members were waiting anxiously on the tarmac. Before the propeller stopped, they were already running forward against the hurricane.
"What's going on?" he shouted.
"Save people first." Antonio didn't explain and asked people to carry out several wounded people. The people following Lu Xiao immediately called on the team to follow him and went into the operating room that had been prepared in advance.
The two therapeutic ones had to go into the operating room, and Lin Mo and Li Yan followed in, each carrying a crystal core rocket launcher. Their fierce appearance seemed to be silently telling the doctors that if the patient could not be cured, he would die, and they were so scared that their legs went weak.
Antonio and the rest of the team members were guarding the door of the operating room. Lu Xiao was about to ask about the details when Lu Xi bit his lip and pulled him, "Dad, I think I'm going to be promoted."
"Now?" Antonio asked first. Except for Dean, who is a healer, Lu Xi is not S-level in the team. One of them awakened late, and the other was too busy to practice.
"There were already signs on the plane, and I felt I couldn't suppress it anymore."
"This..." Lu Xiao looked at the operating room anxiously.
"Did Zhuang ask you to take the crystal core?" Antonio quickly calmed down.
"I brought it"
"I'll watch him while he upgrades, you watch this side, OK?" They brought two S-level psychics, and Li Yan had already followed them into the operating room, so he had to do it alone at this time.
Although he felt that it was of little use, he knew that having a successful person by his side would make him feel more at ease.
"Don't worry, the area is surrounded by my people, and the doctors inside are all reliable. No one will disturb you until the operation is over," Lu Xiao assured.
Antonio glanced at the remaining people, handed over the command to Lin Sheng, the deputy captain of the fourth team, and took Lu Xi to the temporary arrangement place.
