Chapter 578: Return to Beijing Smoothly
As the rocket launcher in his hand turned into a pile of metal bricks, the last rocket launcher became useless.
He Song was already anxious and could only absorb as many crystal cores as possible to replenish his overdrawn superpowers. He kept saying, "Liu Rui is an SS superpower user, and most people would feel that it would be safer to put such a large number of people in his hands. This gives Xu Sa the opportunity to leave."
"They planned that when the intercepting people targeted the two of them, the two of them would take the opportunity to separate. Liu Rui would take the opportunity to block the pursuers with the rest of the people traveling with him, allowing Xu Sa to leave with the crystal core."
"Can Xu Sa, an S-level psychic, be trusted?" the man in black frowned.
"He is Captain Lu's best friend. The two grew up together and are friends for life and death. Knowing that this batch of crystal cores is related to Captain Lu's upgrade, Xu Sa will send them back to the base at the risk of his life."
"You said you know his route?" asked the camouflage man.
He Song did not answer, but said, "I can take you there."
The camouflage man thought about it and chuckled, "Okay."
Before He Song could finish his breath, he heard him add, "If you kill him, we will take you away."
He Song froze, and this time it was his turn to remain silent.
"Yes, killing him can also prove that what you said is true, otherwise why should we believe you?" The red-haired man immediately responded with a chuckle, and was no longer in a hurry to take action. He even put away the flaming spear in his hand as if watching a show.
He Song couldn't do anything.
Yue Qiwen can die.
But I can't die in his hands.
They were pushing him into a dead end.
He Song's mind was in a whirlwind. The person on the opposite side urged him, "Captain He, hurry up. If you keep delaying, I really doubt the truth of what you said."
"He was seriously injured and is not far from death..."
"I just want to see you deal with him." The red-haired man's face changed instantly, and a flaming spear appeared in his hand again. The red flames intertwined into a shaped spear head, which was as sharp as metal. The flames could be seen flowing faintly. There was no doubt that the whole person would be set on fire after being stabbed.
At this moment, He Song thought of his wife and children who stayed in Yueban Bay, and the elders who followed him in migrating thousands of miles. He also recalled the blood on the ground of those who betrayed the base, and the helpless backs of their relatives leaving.
His lowered gaze gradually became firm.
"Captain He, have you thought about it?" the camouflage man urged.
He Song reached out and untied the person tied on his back, then stood up and looked at the still unconscious person.
He was right. Yue Qiwen was seriously injured. Excessive blood loss made his face as pale as paper, and his breath became barely audible.
If he continues to delay, he will die.
The red-haired man watched the scene with a smile. Even the man who didn't care much about the funeral looked over. On the contrary, the camouflage man who brought it up didn't react at all.
As they were looking at it expectantly, they heard a slight "click" sound.
The other two people didn't notice it. They just heard the camouflage man shouting, "Get out of the way" and running away.
Perhaps they thought their level was high enough, or perhaps they thought that He Song, a desperate man, would not cause any harm to them, so the two of them did not move but started to defend immediately.
A barrier made of fire appeared in front of the red-haired man. The width of half a meter was enough to burn any possible attacks. When the man who was rushing to the funeral realized that he was also protected, he instantly controlled the earth to condense a stick and hit He Song.
Sensing the sound of the wind, He Song turned around and decisively softened the earthen stick with the little supernatural power he had recovered, and at the same time threw the thing in his hand towards the two people.
"Hide quickly--" When the camouflaged man found that the two people did not catch up, he shouted and turned around, trying his best to use his supernatural powers to help.
However, the metals that can be manipulated from the ground are limited, and except for those who are metal-related and carry metal for their own use, others are afraid of being attacked and will not wear any metal on their bodies.
This caused him to consume a lot of his supernatural powers, but it was of no use. He watched helplessly as the two people were blown away by the explosion, while the culprit had disappeared on the spot.
"Second brother, fourth brother——!"
"Brother, cough cough, I'm fine. Second brother, how are you?" Red Hair asked the person who was protecting him in panic.
"Still alive." The mourner covered his chest and stretched out his hand to grab something. A few dozen meters away, the ground suddenly rolled over, and then two people rolled out from the ground.
"You bastard, I must kill him," said the red-haired man angrily.
Dozens of flaming spears appeared again, shooting densely towards He Song.
"Captain He, hurry... go." The violent rolling woke Yue Qiwen up at some point. He stuffed a handful of crystal cores into He Song's arms, turned around with all his might and stood in front of He Song. His weak voice could be heard in the whistling wind, "Tell the base commander to look after our team."
"Brother Yue..." He Song had tears in his eyes and kept absorbing crystal cores in his hands.
"Go!" Yue Qiwen pressed his hands on the ground to squeeze out the supernatural power in his body. The energy was condensing, but he seemed to hear a sound of something shattering between his eyebrows.
"I'm afraid...it's not possible." He Song's helpless voice sounded. Yue Qiwen turned around suddenly and saw a dense mass of daggers hanging in the air behind him, blocking the direction He Song was leaving.
The land beneath their feet is also under the control of another earth-type mutant with abundant supernatural powers.
Every avenue for them to leave was blocked.
"Haha, the base will avenge us," He Song comforted Yue Qiwen.
As the voice fell, attacks from all directions came towards the two of them.
He Song and Yue Qiwen both closed their eyes unconsciously, but——
The pain was delayed.
"This..." When the two opened their eyes, they saw that their surroundings seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, blocking the attacks of the three people opposite them.
With a flash of surprise in their eyes, relying on their sensitive perception of mental power, the two looked in the direction of the mental power, and saw a speeding armored vehicle appearing in the gloomy sky along with the fluttering snowflakes again.
The crescent logo on the car body represents the half-moon bay.

When the real fight started, the crushing level left no room for anyone to fight back. With the help of three people with strong superpowers, it took only a few moments for He Song and the other man to be forced into a desperate situation.
"Want to interrogate him alive?" Xing Zhou asked tactfully when he saw that Xu Sa looked unhappy.
Xu Sa paused. Seeing that He Song and Yue Qiwen were so badly injured, he couldn't help but ignore the matter completely.
"They are from a hunting and supernatural organization called Peregrine," He Song came to his rescue. "They just said that they received news from Kyoto that we will have a large number of crystal cores coming into our account, and they guessed that we would send the crystal cores back to the base halfway, so they wanted to intercept us and make a fortune."
"Do you know which team provided the information?" Xu Sa still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.
Ever since their Yuebanwan name became known, no one has dared to attack them for a long time. As Li Zhuang said before, as soon as Lu Weiyi got into trouble, everyone seemed to be trying to step on them. How could this not make people angry?
He Song shook his head and said, "They themselves don't know either."
"Rat in the gutter" Xu Sa helped Yue Qiwen, who had fainted again, into the car, asked Xing Zhou to check their injuries first, and ordered them to return immediately.
"Is the time okay? Otherwise, Gu Sheng and I will send them back, and you and Liu Rui can hang out for a while?" Xing Zhou said.
"No need. There is no team following us anymore. There is no point in wandering around." Xu Sa looked at the time. It had been six hours since Lu Xi and the others left. If they hadn't arrived by now, they wouldn't be able to divert their attention.
"They cannot delay and must meet up with the main force and return immediately."
On the way, He Songcai had time to talk about their experiences. After they left the main group, they were indeed heading towards the underground passage.
"After driving for about an hour, we were caught up by Peregrine's men. They had no intention of leaving any survivors. There was no place to hide underground. Yue Qiwen and I could only resist while constantly consuming our special powers to open up a new passage." This was also the reason why they deviated from the direction.
"But there are three earth-type psychics among them, and the other six are all S-level psychics."
"Are they all S-level psychics?" Xu Sa frowned. Apart from Yuebanwan, he had never heard of any other team with so many high-level psychics.
“Yes” He Song has a positive attitude.
It could only be that the other party had other means of upgrading. Xu Sa lowered his eyes and thought of the psychic crystal core that Lu Weiyi had mentioned to him before, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"We can only find a way to kill the two earth-type mutants with the strongest perception first. By hiding and using the help of weapons, we finally delayed your arrival."
When He Song said this, he took a deep breath and smiled bitterly, "You guys came just in time. If you were any later, there would be no bodies to collect."
"Sorry, we made a mistake in our estimation. We didn't expect that someone would be so shameless as to contact the Hunting Psychic Organization," Xu Sa took the initiative to apologize.
This kind of organization is not bound by any base and does not have its own fixed place of stay. When supplies are scarce, they will kidnap the family members of high-ranking base officials for extortion or rob some team supplies. All bases tacitly do not want to be involved with them.
He Song waved his hand and said nothing.
Knowing the approximate location of Gao Yang and his party, the two parties met immediately. Seeing Xu Sa reappear after disappearing, the psychic who had chased him out had nothing to understand...
This is purely treating them like monkeys, and no one knows when the real crystal core has been transferred away.
Even though everyone was angry, no one dared to act rudely in front of the SS-level psychic. At most, they said a few words in a low voice.
Carrying hundreds of captured mutant sheep, the team returned to Kyoto at the same time as the base meeting ended.
After Dean's examination, he found that Yue Qiwen had several broken bones, some internal bleeding, and some excessive blood loss. However, they managed to keep a tight control on their time along the way, so there was no threat to his life.
This made Xu Sa, who had been tense all the way, breathe a sigh of relief. Then he received a message from Ning Yuan from Yueban Bay, suggesting that Lu Xi had sent the crystal core back. The two of them set out on their journey back to Kyoto again.
