Chapter 556: Arrival at Moon Bay
"Tsk, you Nirvana team are so cautious, just like your captain Old Scar, as timid as a mouse."
A man sitting on the city wall on the other side of them sneered. With his legs drooping, he casually threw ice balls at the zombies below. The fist-sized ice balls hit the zombies, causing only some damage but not fatally. It was like a tease.
Compared to the vigilance of the team members around Lao Ba, some of the members around him were leaning against the wall chatting, some were eating lazily, and even someone could be found sleeping against the wall in the corner. They did not have the sense of urgency of the front-line combat psychics at all.
"How can you talk like that? If our captain hadn't been on guard, you guys in the Superman Team would have died countless times with your lazy attitude," the people around Lao Scar couldn't help but retorted.
"Stop flattering yourself. We are just lucky and were assigned to a place with fewer zombies. It has nothing to do with you."
"That's right, if you are really that capable, just take on all the work on the entire front. You are so shameless even though you don't have the ability."
"Then you are wrong. Old Scar's face is obviously smaller than everyone else's. Haha..."
"you……"
Several people were angry and wanted to step forward to argue, but the other party was not afraid. They immediately restrained their lazy look and prepared to meet them.
Lao Ba stretched out his hand to stop his teammates beside him and said calmly, "Pay attention to the zombies and don't waste your attention."
"Tsk! Coward!" The man who had provoked you at the beginning said with contempt.
Several people gritted their teeth and turned back to their respective positions, then they heard the boy who spoke first suddenly shout.
"What?"
"Where?" Old Scar followed his line of sight and saw nothing. "What do you see?"
"It seems... there is a dark shadow," the young boy asked uncertainly, mainly because he seemed to see more than a dozen zombies moving very quickly.
Their flexible movements are completely different from the low-level zombies with stiff joints below, but upon closer inspection, there is nothing.
"Why don't you just change your name to the Coward Squad? If you get scared, you will..."
The man sitting on the city wall stopped talking before he finished.
"Defense!" the scarred man shouted, and a huge flame burned around him, illuminating a large area.
It also showed that the man who was originally sitting on the city wall was now only sitting upright, and his head had disappeared at some point. The person who attacked him moved so quickly that his body was not even tilted at all. Only blood was gushing out from the broken neck.
Soon, the stench of rancidity in the air was mixed with a strong smell of blood.
"team leader!"
"What's going on?"
"What happened? Who saw it?"
"Is it you? What did you just see?"
Someone turned his eyes to Chen Sheng and Lao Ba who spoke at the beginning. Before they could say anything, screams were heard again not far away.
“Here…here…”
Some people looked around in horror, only to find the same scene appearing before their eyes. The people who were talking just now seemed to have been killed in an instant by some force. The speed was so fast that some people's bodies still maintained the trajectory of their movements before death. After two steps, they fell to the ground, and blood sprayed all over the people around them.
"Everyone, be alert!" Lao Ba spoke loudly, and while searching among the frightened psychics with his naked eyes, he turned on the psychic detector he was carrying.
There are people with special abilities all around, and the energy clusters displayed above are so dense that nothing can be seen.
He could only recall the trajectory of the mutant who had gotten into trouble, from the person sitting on the wall to the passage, and then to...
The city wall stairs extend!
Old Scar's heart skipped a beat. He took out an orange-yellow crystal core from his inner pocket and absorbed it while giving an order, "Everyone in the Nirvana team, be alert to the zombies outside the city. Other team members - stand still!"
As his voice fell, a fire dragon extended out from his hand, wrapping around the people who were fleeing in panic, forming a closed loop of fire dragons that trapped everyone.
"Old Scar, what the hell do you mean? Remove the fire snake quickly."
"Why should I listen to you?"
"I really think I'm somebody."
Amid the noisy voices, someone was dissatisfied and immediately attacked the fire snake that surrounded the group of people. The man who was usually taciturn but easy to talk to suddenly frowned and shouted coldly, "Whoever dares to move now, I will think that he killed everyone. He is a dangerous person in this special period and must be killed immediately."
"You...you dare...ah..."
As soon as someone opened his mouth, a fire snake suddenly rushed towards him and immediately ignited his hair. The smell of burnt hair immediately filled the air.
"You're serious!"
Lao Ba ignored the person who was talking, walked forward with caution, and glanced at the familiar faces.
The dead were people from more than one team of psychics. If they were seeking revenge, it wouldn't happen at this time. If it was a conspiracy at a critical moment, it is unlikely that they would focus their attention on them.
That could only be a zombie!
Cong Qing's report was still ringing in his ears, and Lao Ba's heart was pounding. He didn't want to be so unlucky, but he had a premonition that he was really unlucky.
My eyes swept across the familiar faces. Some of them were blurry for a moment in the night, but all of them were people I remembered. At least it proved that I either knew them or had fought side by side with them in the past few days and had an impression of them.
There are no unfamiliar faces.
Lao Ba heaved a sigh of relief.
When he withdrew his gaze, it stayed on a straight-figured person for a moment. Due to his family background, he could tell at a glance that it was the physical memory formed by years of formal training.
Is there such a person here?
Lao Scar thought for a moment and looked at his face. It was a face that he had some impression of. He couldn't remember where he had seen it before, but he was sure that he knew it.
"you……"
"Captain, there's a situation here, come and take a look."
Before Lao Ba could even utter a word to ask, his attention was diverted by Chen Sheng's shout. He immediately turned around and walked towards his comrades, without forgetting to give orders, "You'd better not leave, otherwise I will report you as a deserter. Don't forget how the previous retreating team was treated."
The threatening voice stopped everyone from leaving. Everyone returned to their guard positions cursing, and some people began to collect the bodies of the dead.
"The captain is here. The city walls here are different from those elsewhere. There are signs that they have been softened by a superpower..." Chen Sheng's voice came from not far away.
In a place where no one was paying attention, the person who was just stared at by Lao Ba tilted his head towards Lao Ba's departing back, as if recalling something. His pair of white pupils were not very obvious in the night.
**
The reconstruction of the hot weapons front made all the psychics on the battlefield extremely enthusiastic.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the teams from Yuebanwan and Pingjin bases arrived at the Kyoto underground passage as scheduled. At the entrance of the suburban underground passage, they met the support troops from Changhong base and Mengbei base.
They all wanted to communicate with each other first, so they stopped tacitly.
Because some teams in Changhong Base had secretly instigated internal strife in Yuebanwan before, many teams encountered problems in the later period. Although there was no evidence that it was Yuebanwan who did it, everyone tacitly believed so. The relationship between the two bases was average. The person in charge greeted each other and hid to one side.
The leader of the Mengbei base this time was Wen Jing from the Ruthless Team. After looking at the cars in front, he did not see Zhuang Mingxu and Lu Weiyi, and thought that the news sent back some time ago should be true.
"Why are you... now?" After greeting the person in charge Li Yan and Xu Sa and others he had met, Wen Jing asked bluntly.
"Our air force support went ahead. The underground passage was interrupted and a landslide occurred. We were fighting with mutant animals along the way and wasted some time." Li Yan said this, and his eyes paused on a man behind Wen Jing.
The man was short and looked less than 1.5 meters tall. Especially when standing next to the sturdy Wen Jing, he looked like a child who had not grown up. However, his face looked like an adult. It was Ji Qian, who was specially transferred from the construction team by Zhuang Mingxu to build the underground passage of the Mengbei base.
"you……"
"The underground passage over there has been completed. Captain Wen asked us if we want to return to the team, so I came back with my brothers." Ji Qian did not show any inferiority complex. He laughed very heartily. He walked forward to greet Li Yan, even jumped up and bumped his shoulder against Li Yan's. He looked around familiarly, "Where is Deputy Captain Li? I haven't seen him for a long time."
The person he was asking was Li Zhuang. As the first person recruited to Yueban Bay with earth-related abilities, he was the one taught by Li Zhuang himself to use his abilities to change the soil layer, and he held a high status in the construction team.
In this era when people would rather hide their supernatural powers to save their lives, it is helpful to have someone teach them step by step. He always thinks of Li Zhuang's kindness and brings some rare things to Li Zhuang every time he arrives at a base to build an underground passage.
"He didn't come this time, and the base also needs people," Li Yan laughed.
Xu Sa looked back along the convoy of the Mengbei Base and asked, "Did you bring back all the people from the construction team?"
The earth-type mutants in the construction team were initially sent from various bases, but their salaries were paid by Yuebanwan, and the top-level managers were also managed by Yuebanwan’s own people. Over time, many people left their original team and moved their families to Yuebanwan to live, which was considered joining in.
"We left about a thousand people with special abilities." Ji Qian said seriously, "Everyone wants to return to the base before deep winter, so we have been working overtime. Now it has been completed. Captain Wen checked and found no quality problems. They are doing some minor finishing work."
"That is to say..." Xu Sa thought quickly and said, "You brought back 7,000..."
“Seven thousand three hundred and sixty people with special abilities,” Ji Qian added.
Xu Sa and Li Yan exchanged a glance, which meant that there were many more psychics coming to Yueban Bay than the ones they had agreed to, especially since there was an S-level earth-type psychic among them. The benefits...
Naturally, it cannot be calculated according to the original method.
