Chapter 507: Disloyalty
It was not chopped off, but a whole layer of flesh was scraped off from the shoulder along the direction of the arm.
"Acuo——" Nan Xiaomo burst into tears, but Cangcuo held her hands tightly around her chest, unable to move at all.
Cangcuo's teeth were grinding and his whole body was shaking unconsciously, "Enough... not enough?"
He switched sides and shaved off the entire layer again.
The bloody flesh fell to the ground and Nan Xiaomo collapsed and cried until she fainted.
Seeing that no one said anything, he turned to the other side and was about to use the same trick again, but Ai Ping stopped him.
"I respect you as a man," Ai Ping said, "No matter how the higher-ups treat you, I promise not to let anyone torture your wife."
"I want... to be buried with her." Cangcuo looked at the person in his arms with gentle eyes and spoke intermittently, regardless of the fact that only a layer of flesh was left on his arm and the blood was constantly gushing out.
Everyone was shocked by this scene. Li Zhuang was not a victim and could not make decisions for others. He turned around and prepared to leave.
The young therapist who came with their team suddenly stepped forward and touched Cangcuo's arm. The wound on his arm had healed visibly.
Different from growing blood vessels and muscles, it just restores the wound surface to stop bleeding.
Dean met the gazes of his teammates with red eyes and choked up, "Davis wanted my dad to agree that we should go together and kill the entire family of my dad's enemy."
Saving his life is a sign of empathy for his feelings, and not fully recovering is a sign of respect for teammates.
"You are not a good person," Dean commented as he stood up and prepared to leave with Li Zhuang, "but a good lover."
"Like my lover."
He looked at Li Zhuang with a determined gaze and said, "I am going to save my love."
**
Lu Xiao, who was informed of what happened in advance, sensitively realized that there was something wrong with the golden eagle's mental state as soon as he contacted the golden eagle, and immediately planned to let them return as soon as possible.
As for Lu Weiyi's matter, he could not help at all. Instead, Zhuang Mingxu seemed to be thinking about it after listening to it, and suggested that Li Zhuang provide more information.
"Gather a team, carefully approach to find out what's going on, and keep in touch at all times." Li Zhuang selected a group of psychics led by Xing Zhou from the people they brought.
He is a psychic and is more sensitive to abilities of the same nature than other psychics, so he may be able to find more useful information.
Xing Zhou, along with Du Ping, Bai Mei, Ye Jia, Yu Meng, Chu He Song and Dean, gathered five S-level supernatural powers of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth and a healing system. With the help of a helicopter, they dropped directly from mid-air to the ground near the helicopter.
On the helicopter that was dispatched, Li Zhuang, Eric, Qin Yu, Gao Yang, Liu Rui and others were in the air, watching them being tied up and slowly landing, and then -
Staying where you are, not moving.
"What's going on?" Gao Yang frowned and handed the telescope to Li Zhuang.
Li Zhuang looked at the people with different expressions, frowned and reacted for a moment, suddenly remembering the scene a long time ago when they were on a mission together and Lu Weiyi controlled Xu Sa.
"Can your ability control other people's minds?" He turned and asked Eric, the highest-ranking person in the psychic department.
Eric raised his eyebrows, and immediately showed an expression of "So it can be done this way", and shook his head at Li Zhuang.
"Pull them back first," Li Zhuang ordered.
In a short while, the six people who had gone down were pulled back into the helicopter, but all seven of them seemed to be asleep, with their eyes closed and different expressions on their faces.
Dean was obviously delighted, and the arc at the corner of his mouth showed that he was having a sweet dream; Du Ping frowned, with a serious expression; Ye Jia's face and earlobes were flushed, like a young boy facing his beloved; Bai Mei slightly curved her mouth, and her hand unconsciously stroked her belly, like a pregnant woman stroking the baby in her belly; He Song had a blank expression on his face, and it was not difficult to see that he was relaxed; and Yu Mengchu...
While everyone was at a loss, she suddenly burst into laughter, feeling both hearty and embarrassing.
Li Zhuang glanced around, looked at these "elites" who were knocked down in less than two minutes, and then looked at Lu Weiyi who was motionless not far away. He couldn't think of a good solution for a while.
"They were... hypnotized." Eric was particularly interested in the conditions of these people and immediately wanted to use his mental power to investigate.
Li Zhuang, who was standing by, sensitively sensed the energy fluctuations on his body and immediately stopped him, "We don't know the specific situation right now, don't try anything."
Eric shrugged his shoulders and withdrew his exploring mental power, but his eyes were still fixed on the few people.
"Is it like Inception? They will get lost in it and can't get out." Qin Yu looked curiously and poked Xing Zhou's cheek, who was closest to him.
Xing Zhou, who wanted to frown, grabbed the person's hand and held it tightly.
"Fuck!" Qin Yu struggled in vain, and her fair wrist turned red in an instant.
Xing Zhou still had no intention of letting go.
"Xing Zhou, Xing Zhou!" Li Zhuangzhuang shouted twice.
Xing Zhou frowned and looked painful from time to time. Eric beside him raised his eyebrows and said, "His mental power fluctuates greatly."
Unable to think of a solution for the moment, Li Zhuang ordered, "Return first."
In just twenty minutes, the team returned with seven unconscious people. When the members of the larger force saw this, the atmosphere suddenly became tense and strange.
Li Zhuang sent a psychic to examine them, and he quickly returned to contact Zhuang Mingxu to find a solution.
Send them back! 】
Zhuang Mingxu sent this message after a long time.
What about the remaining people? 】
They should have defeated the SSS-level psychic by now, but their captain still encountered problems here. Not only has the situation their base is facing not been resolved, but they also lost several S-level combat psychics in the team, which is undoubtedly a greater loss.
[Mobilize half of them back, and station the rest in the surrounding area. Treat that place as our temporary base. I will send more people to garrison there.]
[Also, send some people to the Kyoto base. I have contacted the guard team to recruit a wood-type mutant and let him use his mutant plants to rescue the remaining mutants].
Zhuang Mingxu guessed the reason as soon as he got the news. Lu Weiyi had never concealed the various uses of psychics from him. Even the development of many new abilities was conceived by Zhuang Mingxu.
Just when Li Zhuang was assigning the remaining personnel to leave, Chen Xing suddenly came quietly and asked when they would return to the base.
"The base commander will have the specific arrangements." Li Zhuang looked at the person in front of him.
The COFCO team was the first team to arrive at Yuebanwan. Because there were many ordinary people at the beginning, they relied entirely on Chen Xing, a fire-type mutant, to support them. At that time, there were not many mutant teams in Yuebanwan, and the base was harmonious, so they lived quite well.
Chen Xing was not as sociable as his father Chen Xiang, and seldom came to talk to them. This made people think that they had a bad relationship with the base, especially in the later period when the Ice Frost Society and the Peace Team, whose superpowers were more prominent, emerged. Although COFCO was one of the three top superpower teams in the base, it was obviously low-key and inconspicuous.
But how could there not be something fishy when a team with most of its members being ordinary people could support an S-level fire-type mutant?
"Is there something wrong?" Li Zhuang asked.
"Someone is secretly contacting people from several teams."
Li Zhuang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Who is it?"
"Peak and Glory" Seeing Li Zhuang recalling seriously, Chen Xing explained, "They are two teams with only a few thousand people. They are C-level teams in the Superpower Guild. It is said that they came to participate in this mission in order to earn team contribution points for this mission to upgrade to B-level team."
"They were contacting Shengshi yesterday, and someone just found me."
As for what can be said, there are only two possibilities. Either they join forces with members of other bases to take down Yuebanwan, or they cooperate with others from inside and outside to help Yuebanwan get a more advantageous leader.
"Aren't you tempted?" Li Zhuang said half-jokingly.
Chen Xing took a cigarette from the cigarette box on his desk and put it between his lips skillfully, and said bluntly, "I'm afraid of death."
Li Zhuang laughed for a while, nodded, and quietly saw him off.
That afternoon, Gao Yang said the same thing to Li Zhuang when he went out for inspection with him again.
If Chen Xing came to them, Li Zhuang could understand, after all, his upgrade was all thanks to the secret help from the base, but Gao Yang...
As a latecomer, Li Zhuang asked himself what the base had given him that could make him so... selfless.
After saying the same thing as Chen Xing, Li Zhuang asked him the same question in return.
"Captain Li, don't scare me. I just want to live a peaceful life and don't want to go against the base." Gao Yang took off the gold-rimmed glasses he had been wearing and wiped them. Li Zhuang then realized that when this man wore glasses, he exuded an elite gentleman vibe, but as soon as he took off his glasses, his eyes looked bright, and his pair of almond-shaped eyes immediately made him look like a college student. "We are a family team, and we are all one family. We don't want the entire team to be implicated because of this matter and have nowhere to go."
When the first rebellion occurred in Moon Bay, the base took the lead and killed all the participants, and their families were all driven out of the base on a cold winter day. With temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero, only a few of the more than 15,000 people survived.
After the spring, the base was reopened and the team went out, leaving the bodies of those people everywhere along the way.
Gao Yang had not come to the base at that time, but he was horrified by the scenes described by later generations. When his family found out, they also warned them not to offend such a leader.
These people walked out of a sea of blood and corpses, and they have hatred in their bones. It would be good if we could beat them to death in one blow, but if they happen to turn the tables, the consequences will be disastrous.
Before the end of the world, Gao Yang was just an ordinary person. His family was a large rural family. There were no particularly promising people in the family, but family relationships had always been very harmonious. As the eldest grandson of the eldest son, he had always been a role model for his younger siblings and a support for his elders.
The whole family has gathered all their strength to build up his supernatural powers to this level so that he can lead them to live a stable life, not so that he can get involved in these intrigues.
