Chapter 518: Mental Attack
"..." Li Zhuang thought of the man who had to pay high interest for buying crystal cores on credit, and his mood suddenly became worse.
Wu Yue patted her shoulder sympathetically and said, "Be content. At least he prepared something in advance."
If Zheng Yi wants to be promoted now, he will probably have to hollow out Zheng's army. This also indicates that after the successful promotion, they may seek benefits for Zheng's army at all costs.
"Then the dispatch here will be left to you," Li Zhuang rubbed his hands, "I heard from them that the level of mutated animals nearby is very high, I have long wanted to experience it."
"Take Liu Rui with you and train his combat awareness. I heard that after the kid landed, he ran towards Xu Sa..." After hearing this, Wu Yue didn't know whether to say he was stupid or that he was brave because of his skill.
Li Zhuang chuckled and said, "Okay, I got it."
The two communicated the situation on both sides, and Li Zhuang emphasized to Wu Yue the dangers of ordinary people, for fear that Wu Yue, a genuine soldier, would be soft-hearted and get into trouble.
"Don't worry, it's been five years since the end of the world." If he was still full of passion, he would have died many times already.
After hearing what he understood, Li Zhuang finally had time to gossip, "I thought he would come in person this time".
"Mingxu decided to lift the blockade of the city after we leave. All forces need to be reconciled. He has Lu Weiyi as his backing, and people will be afraid of him just by standing there."
Now that the news of Lu Weiyi's upgrade has spread, if they still look nervous, it will make people doubt its authenticity. At this time, they should keep calm.
If Lu Weiyi of Yuebanwan is the stabilizing force, then Zhuang Mingxu is the person standing on this stabilizing force. As long as he does not move, even if Lu Weiyi's news is unknown for a short period of time, everyone will only dare to test it but not take any actual action.
This is also the reason why Zhuang Mingxu was very worried but did not come in person.
"This time it's Zhou He's team, and next time it should be Zheng's team. We'll rotate in this way, hoping to quickly improve the strength of some of the base army's members who are about to be upgraded in a short period of time." In this way, if Lu Weiyi has not woken up and other bases can't wait any longer, they will have enough manpower available.
When Wu Yue thought of their goal, a sense of urgency arose in his heart again, "Build the base today, and you and Zhou He should be ready to go out tomorrow. Leave the rest to me."
A group of soldiers acted quickly. Not long after Zhou He drew the sketch, earth-type mutants immediately joined forces to build a more than 30-meter-high wall around the area - this was the most appropriate height determined based on the warnings from the surrounding mutant animals.
There are sentry posts at the four corners of the wall, and an observation platform under the wall. In addition to the main gate, there is also an underground passage for everyone to leave quietly in case of an accident.
The residential area, office area and planting area are divided within the wall. The architecture is completely in accordance with the aesthetic of the old straight men in the army, without any frills. However, in just a few hours, the temporary residence has completely changed its appearance. The fire-type psychics dried the walls, and even ventilation was not needed. Everyone left the tents and moved in that night.
The next day.
Li Zhuang woke up from a relaxing nap and smelled a slight smell of blood as he walked out of the yard.
Wu Yue has taken over the management. He energetically called Zhou He, who had just returned from training with the team, to take a shower and prepare for breakfast. Seeing Li Zhuang, he said first, "A group of ordinary people came to us for help last night."
Li Zhuang was tired after a few days and he did sleep very deeply last night, but not to the point where he couldn't wake up because someone was causing trouble. Thinking of the people who came to cause trouble in an emotional state last night, he frowned.
"Liu Rui didn't sleep. Let someone drive them away," Zhou He said in a very subtle way. In fact, when he got up and led the team to do morning exercises outside, there was a layer of corpses outside the wall, at least hundreds of people, and blood was all over the ground. He had to ask someone to clean it up after he returned.
Zhou He thought of that scene and touched his nose, "Your child is quite cruel." According to the people who were also on guard, Liu Rui only said "go away", and the other party did not move. Then he did not ask for any help. He took action himself to show his power, and scared those people so much that they would rather go back to face the mutant animals and did not come over again.
Li Zhuang looked at Liu Rui, who was sitting alone and eating breakfast seriously, and chuckled. Liu Rui was a man who could level up with Antonio, and he could do that to him, let alone others.
"What's the situation with those people?"
"They were attacked by some birds last night. They were said to be small in size and there were a lot of them, and their supplies were also stolen," Wu Yue laughed when he said this, "They thought we stole them during the chaos," so they came here to seek justice and help.
“Do you think they are crazy?” It was the first time that Zhou He saw ordinary people with such weird thoughts in the apocalypse. He didn’t know what kind of environment in their base could change people’s thoughts like this.
Li Zhuang sneered and looked in the direction where the group of ordinary people settled. Thinking about where they settled, he wondered if the attack by the mutant birds was accidental or... something had changed.
"It could be a monkey or something like that. There are many kinds of monkeys here, and the smaller ones have come here to steal things before." They had the experience of being attacked by mutant monkeys at night in Cangnan City before, and they had always paid special attention to defense at night, so no major problems occurred.
It was nothing big, Li Zhuang asked Zhou He about his plans for today.
"I asked someone to use an energy detector to detect that there are several mutant animals with decent energy groups in the northwest. I'll lead the team over there to take a look today. After scouting the area, I'll come back and assign members to field training. What about you? Will you join us?"
He already knew that Liu Rui and Li Zhuang were planning to hunt mutant animals.
"No, Liu Rui and I will go to a distant place, and you can check for high-level mutant animals nearby. You don't have to kill them. Just keep them for repeated challenges and battles to achieve the purpose of practical training."
The deep forest is too dangerous. If they just barge in like this, some poisonous insects alone will be enough to take their lives. There is no need to lose lives in such a place.
"Okay, I understand."
After dinner, Li Zhuang and Zhou He each led their teams away.
Wu Yue then gathered the team members he needed and prepared to let Dong Xiaoxiao experiment with her mutated plants first.
The helicopter left on the ground stayed where it was because of the exhaustion of fuel. The surroundings were silent and from a distance it looked like it had entered a static time and space.
"Is that... an elephant?" Li Ze, who was traveling with us, pointed in the direction close to the depths of the primeval forest.
There was a mutant animal there, jumping around like it was drunk. Apart from the huge thumping sound it made every time it landed, from a distance it looked like it was singing and dancing.
"It seems so." Sun Kai's mouth twitched.
"There are more mutant animals." Qin Yu looked around and found that compared to the last time they came here, the mutant animals here gathered like they were having a meeting, and they were all jumping around at the same time.
They completely violated the principles of the food chain in nature. Leopards and antelopes were jumping and playing, foxes and rabbits were chasing each other, giant eagles had snakes wrapped around their necks without knowing it, and birds were soaring with mongooses.
The strange scene made everyone silent for a moment.
Zhao Yu looked around the window of the helicopter. Dong Xiaoxiao beside him was holding a mutant plant with beautiful flower buds in her hands. As she looked at it curiously, the tips of the plant swayed automatically without wind.
Wu Yue looked around and calmly used the energy detector he brought to scan the levels of the people and plants. Seeing two energy balls that were smaller than the others, he sighed in his heart.
If Gu Qingji were here, there would be no need to ask for outside help for this kind of job of recruiting people.
"They are now in a deep sleep and can't help at all. You can only control the mutant plants to enter and drag the people out." Wu Yue asked the pilot to circle in the air for a few circles and reminded the pilot several times.
In order to ensure success, he brought Eric with him this time. He asked Eric to support the mental barrier as soon as he appeared in the sky to ensure that they would not be affected by Lu Weiyi's mental power when they lowered their altitude.
"I understand." Dong Xiaoxiao was still not used to the helicopter. Not long after taking off, his face turned bad again.
"Quick decision," Wu Yue said, glanced at Eric, and after he nodded to confirm that there was no problem, he opened the cabin door.
Dong Xiaoxiao threw the mutated plant on his wrist down. At first, the tip could be seen through the telescope, but after it landed, it merged into the newly grown green grass around it and disappeared without a trace.
The people on the helicopter could only look outside the cabin and at Dong Xiaoxiao's face from time to time. While waiting with bated breath, their breathing even became quieter.
Dong Xiaoxiao looked quite relaxed at first, but soon his brows began to frown, which made the others sweat unconsciously.
Her wrist trembled and swung, as if she was forcibly changing the direction of the mutated plant. From time to time, she used the telescope to look in the direction of the helicopter on the ground, and a look of stubbornness flashed between her brows.
"Wrong--" Dong Xiaoxiao suddenly said, and then her body suddenly jerked forward, as if being dragged by something, and fell towards the open cabin door. Li Zhuang's quick eyes and hands helped her and closed the door with only a gap.
"What's going on?" Wu Yue was alert.
When Dong Xiaoxiao was helped up, she waved the mutant plant in her hand aimlessly a few times. It looked effortless, but the expression on her face was as if she was struggling with something.
"rather……"
"Walk--"
Li Ze's voice fell off, and Dong Xiaoxiao ordered.
"Retreat," Wu Yue said, and he caught a glimpse of Li Ze, who was looking bitter and vengeful, pointing outside the window with a look of surprise. He took a quick look and saw Ning Yuan on the ground being dragged out of the cabin by something and moving in the direction they left.
The little girl next to him seemed to be suppressing something desperately, until she left Lu Weiyi's mental range, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed.
"Xiao Dong".
Zhao Yu, who was sitting behind her, was about to step forward when he immediately sensed an invisible aggressive energy coming towards him in the face.
