Chapter 560: Intrigue on the battlefield
At this time, they used the earth-related abilities to the extreme.
Ji Qian took the zombie distribution map, divided it into different areas, and directly assigned the work to each team.
"Different captains are responsible for different areas. All we have to do is swap the ground and the underground layer. The land mixed with zombies will be sent to the rear, and someone will be dedicated to digging out the crystal cores."
"Everyone be careful, some zombies may not be completely dead yet. Everyone should pay attention to their own safety and do not have contact with zombies to avoid accidental infection."
"Remember to solidify the replaced ground surface. Don't make it too soft, which will be detrimental to the combat of the ground psychics."
"Be careful, some zombies have been burned to ashes by fire powers, and their crystal cores are mixed in the soil. Use psychics to check and collect them, and don't leave any crystal cores behind."
"These are all unpurified crystal cores. Don't absorb them privately. I don't have the ability to buy an energy-dissipating headband. Don't save them privately or you will lose face for the base."
"Captain Li said that everyone participating this time will receive purified crystal core compensation. You'd better not make such a small mistake, so as not to be detected and affect your future prospects."
Ji Qian is not a big man. He keeps moving among the psychics with his hands behind his back, giving them speeches with a loudspeaker, and occasionally checking the corpses of the zombies being transported away.
Underground, invisible to everyone, the ground seemed to be installed with a conveyor belt, and the zombie bodies and limbs on it were constantly being transported towards the base.
"Got it, got it, Old Ji. You have to repeat it several times every time you arrive at a base. Don't you find it annoying?"
A sturdy man who was obviously taller than an ordinary man carried a sack of crystal cores on his shoulders and threw it directly into the pile of zombie body parts, causing Ji Qian to look disgusted.
"The excavated crystal cores cannot be left alone, but have to be thrown together with the zombies and forced to be taken out. Ma Liu, what's your evil taste?"
"You know how much energy it takes to maintain a conveyor belt, so why waste time on building another one? Besides, there are machines that can automatically identify the levels, so no human intervention is required." Ma Liu ignored him and turned around to throw the crystal core sack that was sent over from behind onto the conveyor belt, making a thudding sound.
Ji Qian rolled his eyes at him and ignored him. He put his hands behind his back and moved among all the psychics again, "Be alert and don't embarrass me."
"Don't worry, captain. When have we brothers ever lost anyone to the base?"
Ji Qian was very confident in his team, but that did not stop him from brainwashing everyone. He kept repeating the base's welfare subsidies and family care policies for everyone, as well as the situations they might face if they lost them.
Sweet treats and sticks came out together, and the team of thousands of psychics was in good order.
In the front, earth-type mutants are constantly transporting zombies and crystal cores back to the base, and in the back, logistics personnel are quickly digging out the crystal cores, and then using machines to detect different energies and distinguish the different levels.
A complete industrial line was successfully constructed in less than an hour, and a steady stream of crystal cores were transported to the front.
The only regret is that so many crystal cores have not yet been purified.
"Really not able to purify now? We don't know when the war will end. If we absorb an unpurified crystal core..." The zombie energy deposited in the body alone can easily affect the upgrade, causing delays at best and death at worst.
No one is willing to take risks at this time. Even if they are sent to the front line, there are only a few people who are willing to use their abilities without scruples, especially those high-level ones.
It is not easy for them to upgrade, so they act more cautiously.
Li Yan shook his head. Seeing that Mr. Zheng had a sharp gaze and was determined to achieve his goal even if he had to take a step back, he bluntly interrupted his thoughts, "The technology is not up to the standard, and it has nothing to do with interests. Besides, there are no instruments here."
"Is the instrument purifying?" Wen Jing, who had been quietly paying attention to the situation here, asked immediately.
"Can't the equipment be shipped directly over?"
Someone from an unknown base in the corner whispered.
The voice was not loud, but the command room was crowded with people and it was unusually quiet, so everyone still heard it, and someone responded immediately.
"Yes, we don't know how long this battle will last. If the mutants continue to absorb the unpurified crystal cores, who knows if there will be any problems?"
"What if because of this battle, too much zombie energy accumulates in the body, affecting the upgrade, or even killing me here? Wouldn't that be a loss?"
"We are just borrowing the machine here. The exchange ratio will not change. There is no loss to the Yuebanwan base. It is also beneficial to the battle. Why not do it?"
"That's right, there is nothing wrong with Baili."
Everyone was talking at once, not intending to give Li Yan the right to refuse. The psychics following Li Yan couldn't help but look angry, but Li Yan just refused to accept the challenge.
Mr. Zheng felt that these people's requests were extremely rude, but at the same time he had a sense of luck in his heart.
Every base would be envious of Yuebanwan's technology for purifying crystal cores, but they sent out countless psychics and even instigated Yuebanwan's people to rebel, but they did not get any useful information.
The only thing we know is that this technology has always been firmly in the hands of a single team, or even worse, directly in the hands of Zhuang Mingxu. This is one of the reasons why he is so confident and able to chat and laugh among the managers of the superpowers in various bases without any stage fright.
After all, he can decide the exchange ratio of purification crystal cores in each base with just his mouth, and anyone with a brain would not offend him.
If they can get Yuebanwan to send out their purification equipment, then leaving easily will not be just talk. If they can develop the purification technology, then even if the Kyoto base is destroyed, they will have the confidence to rebuild the base anywhere with this technology. How can this not be exciting?
Mr. Zheng was just watching the front line entering the city and did not participate, but he did not expect that the war would spread to him.
Those who can stand here are either very powerful or have a hundred or eighty tricks in their heads. When they see Mr. Zheng's attitude of pretending to be a fisherman and enjoying the benefits, someone will immediately pull him into the water.
"Old man, can you please express your opinion? We are here to support Kyoto, not to die. How can we fight without a purification crystal core?"
"That's right. You clearly have something in your hand, and you watch our psychic die. As a commander, you just watch like that? Isn't that inappropriate?"
"Commander, if you are always like this, then there seems to be no point in establishing this anti-zombie alliance, right?"
"Indeed, who knows if this is just an airdropped vernacular from Kyoto to help him get through his own difficulties. Who knows, it might just be a decoration in the future?"
Hearing the responses one after another, Mr. Zheng was very angry, but the plan in his mind made him go with the flow and look at Li Yan.
Li Yan seemed to have not heard what they were saying at all. He lowered his head to check his mobile phone. Just when Mr. Zheng was about to speak, his mobile phone rang.
Li Yan picked up the phone immediately, "Captain Xu? What's going on?"
Xu Sa on the other end of the phone looked confused, because it was clearly Li Yan calling him.
Before he could say anything, he heard Li Yan talking to himself, "How many S-level zombies? Even you can't resist them?"
The command room immediately fell silent. Everyone knew that Zheng Yi had taken away all the S-class psychics in the Kyoto base. At this time, the numerous S-class zombies in the northwest direction were being held back by the high-level psychics in Yueban Bay. Once anything happened to them, the S-class zombies would enter the base and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Didn't I bring you crystal cores when I left? How come they are not enough?" Li Yan continued.
After hearing this, Xu Sa probably understood that something had happened in the command room and that high-level psychics here were needed to check and balance it.
Xu Sa waved his hand at the group of psychics around him who were already excited and bloodthirsty, signaling everyone to control themselves a little, and moved sideways out of the battlefield, responding, "There are too many S-level zombies, they are like crazy, everyone is exhausted, and the crystal cores they brought have been used up."
A smile flashed in Li Yan's eyes, but his face was heavy. He turned to look at Old Man Zheng and said, "General Zheng, our psychic's power is about to be overdrawn and he may not be able to bear it."
Mr. Zheng suddenly felt as if someone had grabbed his neck, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his lips and he couldn't utter a word.
If the psychics in Yueban Bay were lost, it would mean allowing S-level zombies to enter the city, and there would be no point in defending other directions.
This is a naked threat.
He used the entire base to force Mr. Zheng to choose and stand on the side.
Everyone understood what was happening. Some people were dissatisfied. “They killed S-level zombies. How could they lack crystal cores to replenish their abilities?”
Li Yan was surprised. "That is an unpurified crystal core. How can it be absorbed by a mutant?"
"It's a matter of life and death, and you're still talking like that..."
There is something unsaid that was not said.
Li Yan added with a cold and arrogant look on his face, "I thought you didn't know what the situation is now?"
The howling of the zombies outside is still incessant, the bodies of the superpowers are increasing, the city wall has become precarious, and here...
They are still engaged in petty intrigues and harboring different intentions.
How could Li Yan not be angry? Compared with other bases, Yuebanwan had the least number of people coming here, and he could not give the various bases the opportunity to unite and attack them.
Once these people no longer care about the safety of the Kyoto base, they will unite and attack them... or control these people to make deals with the base...
Li Yan couldn't let any of this happen.
Just as the command room fell into a silent stalemate, in the villa area.
Gu Qingji was staring at the energy detector in his hand with horror. Energy balls were flashing on it. The most eye-catching one was the huge energy ball standing in the middle, which looked like a wolf's head.
It was hanging in the air, with its head facing the zombie that was behaving abnormally but showing no ability to attack.
Zheng Yi brought more than twenty psychics with him, and it was easy for them to fight against three S-level zombies, but they seemed to be avoiding the fight, just digging holes everywhere, and smashing sand, stones, dust and the half-broken villa frame everywhere.
