Chapter 495: Continue to Search for Someone
The loss of psychics from the base attracted the attention of several major teams, and they sent people to investigate. Those who returned after escaping death said that they were a group of ordinary people targeting psychics, and all the psychics who went there had lost their crystal cores and their psychics.
"You won't resist?"
Qian Min buried his head in his arms and said, "We resisted, but unfortunately we never saw what the person who attacked us looked like. The plants around us were fighting with us like living people."
"They didn't kill us. They kept us in the base like they were storing food reserves. We couldn't leave anywhere. And from time to time they would give supplies to ordinary people in the base. Many ordinary people in the base became their supporters, concealing the news for them and becoming their executioners."
Qian Min laughed loudly, blood gushing out of his torn wound, "These fools still think they are on the side of ordinary people, but in fact they are just a group of devils who eat people without leaving any bones."
Lu Xiao listened to him without frowning, "Why didn't you ask for help?"
"Call for help, we sent a message, but they found out, and we haven't heard from that team since then." Qian Min stared at Lu Xiao blankly, "Later, the leader found out about the Superpower Conference, and wanted us to lure more high-level superpowers over, so he let a few of us out."
"We all have people we can't leave behind in the base. If we don't go back on time, our families will be in trouble." Qian Min had nothing to hide after saying this. He grinned at Lu Xiao and said, "It would be better for me to die than for my friend to die."
Lu Xiao kicked Qian Min hard, sending her flying and crashing into the wall. She then fell to the ground with a bang and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"How many of them are there? Where is their base?" Lu Xiao squatted down, grabbed his hair and lifted his head up.
Qian Min's teeth were bloody and he shook his head, "No one knows. They only appear outside and never let anyone get close to them. They are elusive. Ordinary people in the base call them Mountain Gods."
Lu Xiao asked the remaining few people and got the same information. The other party only targeted people with special abilities, and every time they appeared, they relied on ordinary people in the base to randomly pass on information. They were too mysterious.
"Then why is there news that there is an SSS-level psychic over there?"
"The base spread the news intentionally in order to reduce the number of psychics going there," Qian Min said, then collapsed to the ground as if she had breathed her last.
"I thought about asking you for help, asking the strongest psychic for help, but there is no guarantee that you will agree. Rather than gambling on that slim possibility, it is better to take a chance. If it succeeds, we won't lose anything, but if it fails..."
They don't care.
Lu Xiao's teeth were grinding. If now was not the right time, he really wanted to burn this man to ashes.
No one has ever seen whether that person exists, how many psychics he has, and what levels they are.
It was the first time that Lu Xiao felt so confused.
After he asked someone to draw the topography near the Panshui base, he immediately passed the information to Lu Weiyi.
His idea was simple. The emperor was far away, so they would withdraw first. As for the secret place and people, they would gather a large force and go out together when necessary.
Lu Weiyi was gnawing on the greasy rabbit leg in his hand. He combined the information sent by Lu Xiao with the topography and the place where the self-exposure had occurred before, and felt that those people should be not far from the mutation site.
The most likely possibility is that the legendary "Lord Mountain God" is a high-level wood-type mutant who owns a powerful mutant plant.
Seeing him asked to go back, Lu Weiyi hesitated.
[I am only meeting with Li Ze, Aiping, Song Xiao and Han Fei now, and there is no news about the rest of the people for the time being].
He paused for a long moment and decided to tell him the current situation, [Some of the remaining teammates were forced to expose their crystal cores. I'm not sure if any of them were caught].
When Lu Xiao saw this, his hands trembled violently.
Just because he cares about his nephew doesn't mean he doesn't care about the lives of his teammates.
[I roughly know the area where they are located. I will lead people to avoid them and look for the remaining people, and try to reunite with the scattered people].
If all of them were here, Lu Weiyi would definitely turn around and leave. He never cared about the life and death of others. He had a very clear position of himself. He was just a salted fish who was forced to work hard and had no intention of being a savior.
But he couldn't leave his teammates behind, he had to have a definite answer as to whether they lived or died.
He looked in the direction of the mutant plant, recalling the area he had seen from high in the air where people might be hiding.
After Lu Weiyi's reply, Lu Xiao turned around and discussed the next arrangements with Zhuang Mingxu.
Compared to Lu Xiao's hesitation, Zhuang Mingxu was much more decisive.
[I have gathered all the psychics in the base to participate in the rescue. The base will also send a dozen S-level psychics and hundreds of A-level psychics. The number of personnel is tentatively set at 500].
Even though he was prepared for a lot of people, Lu Xiao was still surprised by the number. [How are you going to deliver so many people? 】
[One passenger plane, three fighter jets, and four helicopters].
If this situation happened before the end of the world, it would be enough to trigger a war. Zhuang Mingxu asked the participants to prepare to set off and looked at a team member, "Antonio, take Dean to the island and bring Zhuang Wukong and his three wolf cubs with you. They are good at finding people in the jungle and can help them."
Antonio gave him an OK gesture and left with Dean.
[Uncle, I will transfer the opportunity to your place soon and ask someone to bring Taotao along].
Lu Xiao didn't ask why, "Let the passenger plane come over. I'll bring a group of psychics with me to you, so it will be safer on the road."
【Can】.
Psychics are related to your safety along the way, so naturally the more there are, the better.
After discussing with Lu Xiao, Zhuang Mingxu turned back to his room. After emptying all the supplies in his own space, he took out a knife, faced the mirror, and cut towards his lower body, where it had merged into the jade space.
A piece of flesh covered in blood fell to the ground, and the jade immediately broke away, making a crisp sound as it fell to the ground.
Zhuang Mingxu was sweating profusely and leaning against the sink, gasping for breath to relieve the pain.
"Xu Yi——"
"What's wrong?" Xu Yi, who pretended to be calm but was actually seeing Li Zhuang off, heard the sound coming from the bedroom and opened the door to ask, "You..."
"Close the door." Zhuang Mingxu's voice trembled a little. He picked up the jade on the ground with difficulty, leaving only a piece of flesh and blood.
They were all men, and Xu Yi recognized the location of the unique hair at a glance, and asked in horror, "Are you castrating yourself?"
"Did you have a fight? There's no need to be so cruel...right..."
Zhuang Mingxu looked at him coldly, stopping his scattered brain cells, and said, "Come here and treat me."
"Oh oh" Xu Yi immediately stepped forward, probed with his supernatural power, and felt the location of the wound. However, he became even more confused. He glanced at Zhuang Mingxu in confusion, thinking that this man might have some serious brain disease.
In a short while, the dents that were cut out were restored immediately. "It takes time to restore the hair follicles. You..."
"That's fine." It was just a bald spot, and it was a private part. Zhuang Mingxu didn't care. He picked up the piece of meat on the ground and threw it into the trash can. After washing the bloody jade in his hand, he left the space with Xu Yi.
All the members who were about to set off had gathered on West Island. Li Zhuang and Ning Yuan assigned the psychics and confirmed with several temporary team leaders how to deal with crises encountered on the road. When they saw Zhuang Mingxu coming over, they nodded and continued to talk with them.
Zhuang Mingxu called Li Zhuang over and handed him the jade in his hand, "After you go over, hand this jade space over to Xiaoyi."
Li Zhuang stroked the jade in his hand, and his sensitive nose smelled the blood on him. He swept his eyes over him and nodded.

Lu Weiyi has already explored the surrounding area and found that there is not much danger. He originally planned to divide the current people into two groups. Now it is indeed the safest option to go together.
He instructed Little Green Branch to hang the broken parachute on the tops of the surrounding trees as a mark, took a few bites, and said, "Rescue should have been sent from Yueban Bay, and they should arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest. I plan to track down Xu Sa as soon as possible at night and try to get back here as early as possible."
"Then let's hurry up and get together," Han Fei said without hesitation, then turned to look at Song Xiao with a colder look, "What should we do with him? Kill him and leave him here."
Song Xiao trembled all over and looked at a few people in panic, trying to ask Lu Weiyi for help, but was kicked by Li Ze, "Follow him, if he survives, it will be his life."
After they finished their meal quickly, they returned to the place where they found Xu Sa's trace and headed in another direction following the marks he left.
The five psychics moved forward with a clear division of labor. They carried out defense, observation and exploration simultaneously, and their speed was much faster. In just a few hours, they reached the vicinity of the ground fissure area.
Before anyone got close, the first thing that came to his ears was a roar coming from underground. The plant that had been entangled on Li Ze's arm reached in the direction of the sound. After a moment, he whispered, "There's something underneath."
"S-level mutant ape," Lu Weiyi said, and added, "The arms are very long."
This is the biggest feature at first glance.
Upon hearing this, Li Ze immediately signaled to the people behind him to step back, especially since the cracks in the ground were shaking and dropping stones amid the monkeys' roars, as if they would extend to their feet at any time.
As if it sensed some movement above, the mutant ape's roar became more and more angry, and at the same time, the water vapor in the air began to condense. Ai Ping, who also had water-related abilities, was the first to notice it and exclaimed, "It's a water-related ability."
He waved his hand at the water droplets that had condensed around him, clearing them away. The difference in level meant that the range he could control was not as good as that of the mutant ape. Fortunately, as a human being, he knew how to think better. Ai Ping immediately chose to condense and drain all the water vapor around him, forming a circle of flowing water around him like a protective barrier.
The clear air felt dry, and sensing resistance from this side, the mutant ape began to struggle as if to give a final vent.
