Chapter 600: Caught
"Captain Wu, there's someone here!"
The surprised voice from behind made Wu Yue stop talking, and the group immediately went forward to check.
This person was obviously a member of the Yuebanwan team. He was wearing a uniform military uniform that was tattered like scraps of cloth and covered with stones and dust. Some of the uniforms had embedded deeply into his skin, leaving many wounds.
He seemed to have been deliberately thrown into the corner of the passage, and it would have been difficult to find any trace of him if someone hadn't been paying attention along the way.
"Which team are you from? Does anyone know him?" Wu Yue asked as he quickly took action. He heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that the person was still breathing.
But when he lifted up her clothes, he saw that her butt and thighs were obviously missing some pieces, which made him furious.
"It looks like Chang Ping from the Sixth Squad." Someone recognized the man on the ground. "He has..."
"He has lost too much blood, but his injuries are not fatal. Leave one person to watch him, and the rest of you continue to follow me." Wu Yue interrupted him and gave the order before he could finish.
When they set out again, Wu Yue used his superpowers almost to the extreme, and even the superpower users who were traveling with him sped up, which made it increasingly difficult for an ordinary person like Zhuang Mingxu to keep up. Fortunately, the ground in the cave had not been processed by superpowers, and the uneven ground also limited their speed to a certain extent, preventing him from falling behind.
However, what was surprising was that the people in front were able to maintain the same speed and still kept a distance from them. During this period, there would be one or two psychics left behind every four or five hundred meters. Without exception, they were all unconscious, and in addition to the various scars caused by being dragged, they all had lost some flesh.
"Wait, stop--" Zhuang Mingxu's breathless voice came from behind, "Wu Yue, they seem to be leading us away."
"I know," Wu Yue said calmly, without stopping, "but our comrades are ahead."
He had guessed it when the first person appeared in front of him, but there were more than 200 missing teammates, and the comparison instrument showed that the number of people analyzed was...
They were a group of people who ate the flesh and blood of people with special abilities. Wu Yue didn't dare to think about what would be waiting for them if they delayed any further.
"Don't fall for it, stop," Zhuang Mingxu ordered, and ran a few steps forward. He looked at Taotao who was held by Wu Yue, and pulled the two of them a little away from the main group. "Can you let the mutant long-pointed leaf rose intercept them?"
"Intercept?" Taotao tilted her head, looking confused.
"Yes, just don't let them run away, or Daddy won't be able to catch up with them."
I don’t know what Taotao thought of in her little head, her eyes lit up, and she nodded heavily, “Then let’s not chase them.”
He jumped off Wu Yue, hopped on the wall and grabbed it. Immediately, a dark grey tree root appeared in his hand. The root, as thick as his wrist, swayed in his hand, trying to break free from his small hand, but he held it tightly again.
After a while, he let go and returned to Wu Yue. He stretched out his hand to signal Wu Yue to pick him up again. He waved his little hand towards the passage they came from and said excitedly, "Run!"
Neither Zhuang Mingxu nor Wu Yue understood what he meant. Before they could ask, a thudding sound came from deep in the cave in the distance. It sounded like some huge monster was running towards them quickly.
Everyone woke up immediately and looked at the cave entrance vigilantly.
"Wu, Captain Wu, they... they are back," the man holding the energy detector spoke, his voice filled with confusion and nervousness.
Zhuang Mingxu took the energy detector and saw that the thing that was originally at the edge of the screen detection was now coming towards them at a faster speed. In just a few minutes, it was very close to them.
"Baby, what did you do?" Wu Yue asked the child in his arms without knowing the other party's background and it was hard to tell who would suffer the loss if they met like this.
"Let them chase us—" Tao Tao said excitedly, and waved towards the cave entrance again, "Uncle Yue, run quickly, we are going to be caught—!"
"..." It turned out that he had always thought that they were playing a game of chase.
It was easy for them to return, but those who were taken away...
Wu Yue found it a little difficult to make a decision.
"Ambush here," Zhuang Mingxu said decisively, and asked Taotao to take out several crystal core guns from Lu Weiyi's space and handed them to everyone, "We cannot use weapons with excessive lethality here, so everyone try to be careful."
Wu Yue took it and immediately began to deploy it on his behalf. At the end, he said to Zhuang Mingxu, "You can't see, stand behind me."
People with special abilities can add their special abilities to their eyes so that they won't be completely blind, but Zhuang Mingxu is completely different. When the lights are turned off, he is completely blind and can't play any role in the battle.
Zhuang Mingxu nodded, holding Taotao and standing behind Wu Yue.
As the lights were turned off one by one, the surroundings fell into darkness again, with only the loud banging sounds coming from far away.
In less than ten minutes, a large plant appeared in the field of vision. It was called large because it was fatter than it was tall. The species of the plant could not be identified and it was shaped like a tree. A humanoid creature sat on a branch. As the distance got closer, a strong smell of blood came along with the sound of talking.
"Fuck, f**k, what the hell is that?"
"Are you blind? You're sitting on a mutant plant, can't you see that it's another mutant plant?"
"Haven't we checked among them and found that there are no mutant plants with wood-type abilities? This one suddenly appeared..."
"Are you talking about this time? Why don't you think about what to do?"
"We'll definitely die if we go back, why don't we just go to the ground?"
"There's a hurricane on the ground these two days, do you want to go or not?"
"What should we do? I don't want to confront the people from Yueban Bay."
…
The psychics hiding in the dark did not receive Wu Yue's attack signal, and now all of them reduced their presence and hid in the darkness, listening to their noisy voices to judge the number and level of the enemy, while trying their best to find their comrades.
The mutant plants entered their encirclement at an extremely fast speed, and everyone found their missing comrades - they were entangled and tied up by the mutant plants, dragging in a long line on the ground. As the mutant plants moved quickly, many people were thrown up and fell heavily, hitting another teammate.
"Do it!" Wu Yue said loudly, and shot the man sitting on a tree branch first. The man was caught off guard and fell to the side instantly, but did not fall because his body was tied up by plants.
"There is an ambush, everyone be careful."
"Quick, be prepared-ah..."
"There are guns, where are the earth-types? Hurry up and defend——"
The shouts were accompanied by the mutated plants' roots whipping towards the surrounding areas. The thick stems were covered in blood, and it was unknown how many of their comrades' blood had stained them.
"Fire element, strong attack!" Wu Yue had a stern face and quickly constructed an earth element shield to defend against several people with low abilities while giving calm commands.
Several fire-type ability users instantly linked up to form a fire dragon, surrounding the entire mutant plant, which also allowed them to see each other more clearly.
Only a dozen people were left on the mutant plants still resisting. They looked completely different from normal people. Their particularly protruding eyeballs were covered with red bloodshot, like fake eyeballs embedded in them. In addition, there was a big, cracked mouth underneath, which made their noses look less noticeable.
There was blood all around their mouths, and as they spoke, traces of scarlet could be seen on their sharp teeth.
They roared at the psychics like wild beasts, their eyes gleaming as if they had seen their desired prey, and along with the various psychics came the sound of their suppressed conversations.
"I like that one, it has high power and must taste good."
"I like it too. The one I just ate wasn't as good. It must be of a low quality."
"It's good enough if you have something to eat, why are you so picky about food?"
"I saw a little child, a little child..."
"Where?"
"I smell it, the scent of milk..."
Everyone's eyes instantly locked onto Taotao's direction. Wu Yue sensed the malicious intent, stepped forward to block their sight, and then fired a shot.
At this time, both sides were prepared. The mutant plant turned sideways and used a branch to block the bullet. The exploding flame ignited a small area, but was extinguished by shaking it vigorously on the ground a few times.
"Oh my! My baby is burned." A sharp and piercing voice sounded, and a young child appeared at the back. He looked no more than a teenager. He was holding a bloody piece of meat in his hand, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth as he bit it.
He was the only one who was not tied to the mutant plant. While speaking, he jumped between the branches like a nimble monkey. In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the place where the mutant plant had just been attacked. He touched the branch of the mutant plant with great distress, "Huhu, huhu, it doesn't hurt anymore." He raised his head and bared his teeth at Wu Yue, "I'm going to eat you."
As soon as Yin finished speaking, a large number of people tied to the mutant plants were thrown towards them. Hundreds of people were thrown towards them mercilessly, leaving the group of psychics in a dilemma as to whether to accept them or not.
What’s more important is that the other party obviously does not want to return the people to them, but directly uses these people as weapons to attack them.
The psychics who followed were unwilling to use their powers on their comrades and could only dodge, while the people tied to the mutant plants began to use all kinds of superpowers at them without any scruples.
Wu Yue dodged the attacks again and again, and soon left his original position. At this moment, Zhuang Mingxu, who had been hiding behind him, was tied up by a tree trunk that appeared at his feet and dragged to the boy's side in an instant.
“Mingxu——!”
A knife condensed from earth-type supernatural power slashed over quickly, but the opponent was too fast and only the tail section was cut off. Zhuang Mingxu appeared beside the boy holding Taotao.
"Hahaha, eat kids." The boy stood on a tree branch and took a bite of the piece of meat in his hand. He jumped twice. The chewing sound made people feel sick, and his innocent and crisp voice made people feel cold for no reason.
