Chapter 604: Mountain God Base
The two had just placed their hopes of solving the case on the captives who had survived, and now they were told.
The captive died.
This is quite a coincidence indeed.
Zhuang Mingxu and Wu Yue stood up at the same time and walked towards where the prisoners were held.
In the small detention room, as soon as you enter, you can see two prisoners hanging. Around their necks are ropes made of plant stems and leaves. The ropes are wrapped around their bodies and tied behind their backs. Only the toes of their feet can barely touch the ground.
At this time, their faces showed a purple color caused by long-term lack of oxygen.
Zhuang Mingxu stepped forward and touched his breath, then shook his head at Wu Yue, and then looked at the two nervous guards at the door.
"Who is responsible for watching over the two of them?"
“I, it’s me…” A younger boy’s voice trembled, with fear in his eyes, “I… I didn’t mean to kill them, I just… wuwu…”
As he spoke, he trembled and cried.
The older man standing next to him patted him on the back and looked at Zhuang Mingxu, "Captain Zhuang, can I talk to you for a moment?"
Zhuang Mingxu suppressed his anger, showing no emotion on his face, and signaled Guan Wei to take the others out.
After waiting for everyone to leave, Wu Yue spoke, "Go ahead."
"Hello, Captain Zhuang, hello, Captain Wu, I am from the Fourth Team of the Base Army..."
"Huang Wei, a fire-type psychic from team three, and he is Qin Xiaoman, a water-type psychic from team six." Before Huang Wei could finish his self-introduction, he was interrupted by Zhuang Mingxu, "Tell me about the matter."
"Yes!" Huang Wei got straight to the point. "Xiaoman and I were assigned to guard the two prisoners. Xiaoman..."
"His brother was one of those who were captured. He has been rescued now, but flesh and blood were dug out from many parts of his body. Military Doctor Sun determined that he had lost too much blood and we don't know if he can wake up..."
"Xiaoman was a little agitated. He heard that these two people might be accomplices of his brother's flesh and blood. He wanted to torture them, so he hung them up. I..." Huang Wei took a deep breath, "Qin Daming and I are teammates. When we saw his miserable condition, we didn't stop him for a while."
"But I promise, Captain Zhuang, we really didn't mean to kill them. We..."
He looked at the two dead people with his lips trembling, unable to utter any other words of rebuttal for a while.
I could only bow to the two of them and say, "I'm sorry, I didn't look favorably upon Xiaoman. I am willing to take the responsibility alone."
"..."Wu Yue.
He looked at Zhuang Mingxu, who was suppressing his anger, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
There are many orphaned brothers and sisters in the al-Qaeda Army who join the army together, and this situation is really difficult to deal with.
The elder brother had already met with trouble in the army, and it was disheartening to deal with the younger brother at this time.
"Down……"
"Go call them in." Wu Yue was stopped by Zhuang Mingxu as soon as he opened his mouth. He looked directly at Wu Yue and gave the order.
Wu Yue pursed his lips, knowing in his heart that there was a reason for this, but seeing that Zhuang Mingxu was staring at him silently and had no intention of changing his mind, he sighed and called in the people waiting outside the door.
"Wipe your tears. A man's thing to do when he makes a mistake is to take responsibility instead of crying. The women in the base army are better than you." Zhuang Mingxu looked at Qin Xiaoman who was still crying with an expressionless face.
Qin Xiaoman wiped the tears from her face and stood up straight.
"Do you know that these two people are very important?" Zhuang Mingxu asked.
"Answer me!" When there was no response, his voice suddenly became sharp.
"Report, got it!" Huang Wei responded first.
"Report, I know!" Tears welled up on Qin Xiaoman's face again. This time he didn't choose to wipe them away, but looked straight ahead.
"No matter what caused your actions, it has affected the entire base. Now all clues are cut off by these two people, leaving us clueless about the enemy's information purpose."
"I'm not your direct supervisor, but this accident will be reported to your Captain Zhou, who will make the appropriate punishment." Zhuang Mingxu saw a hint of dissatisfaction on Huang Wei's face, and said nothing. He waved his hand at the opponent and asked them to leave.
"The new base troops have no discipline at all and can't even tell priorities," Zhuang Mingxu sighed.
"The training time is short, and the ideological education cannot reach the level we had in the beginning." Wu Yue understood what he meant, and stepped forward to put down the two dead prisoners.
As soon as the rope around his neck was removed, the marks underneath were immediately revealed. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Mingxu, come and take a look."
Zhuang Mingxu moved closer and immediately saw two marks of different depths on the two men’s necks, one of which was obviously darker in color.
He followed the trace and touched the other person's neck, "This caused the death."
Wu Yue picked up the braided rope that he had thrown aside, stroked it for a moment, and whispered, "There are some supernatural powers left."
Zhuang Mingxu glanced in the direction the two people had just left, and heard Wu Yue ask in a low voice, "Could it be them?"
Zhuang Mingxu asked, "Can you control plants?"
Wu Yue shook his head. At his current level, he could only sense the remnants of supernatural powers. He was completely unable to control things that did not belong to his own attributes.
"Their abilities and levels are even more impossible," Zhuang Mingxu whispered back.
The death of the two captives brought the matter to a stalemate. Just when Zhuang Mingxu and Wu Yue both suspected that the matter might have to be concealed, Zhao Lei brought another piece of news.
There is one less body from the previous death.
"The body? I asked them to hand it over to you, but you didn't deal with it?" Zhuang Mingxu asked Wu Yue.
As for the dead psychics, the top leaders of the only team agreed that if they were enemies, they would dig out the crystal cores and feed them to the mutant plants in the base. If they were friendly forces, they would crush the crystal cores and not give any mutant animals, plants or humans a chance to absorb them.
Zhuang Mingxu is an ordinary person and it would be too suspicious if he took action, so he specifically instructed Wu Yue to handle it.
"I have been outside rebuilding the base and have not been back." Wu Yue hurriedly followed Zhao Lei and asked, "Tell me the details."
Zhao Lei replied neatly, "I received an order from Chief Zhuang Ji before, saying that I would leave it to you to deal with. After checking the breathing and heartbeats of several people and confirming death, I took them to a separate room. Because I was sure they were dead, I didn't leave any guards behind."
"When I saw you coming back just now, I thought of letting you handle it and not worrying about it anymore. I wanted to check it out first, but when I went in, I found that there was one person missing, and..."
As he spoke, he pushed open a closed door. The burning torches on the wall illuminated the area, allowing them to see people lying in rows on the ground at a glance.
At this time, there was indeed one person missing in the middle position, but what was even more surprising was.
The other few people had a small hole between their eyebrows, and their foreheads were covered with coagulated blood.
Seeing this, Wu Yue quickly took two steps forward, checked, then turned around and said to Zhuang Mingxu, "Their crystal cores have been dug out."
This is a bit serious. It's not that they are worried that the other party is not dead, but if it was done by a superpower in their team...
He quickly extended his special ability, and the invisible energy was like an energy imager, showing the energy that flowed through the room in a short period of time in front of him.
Wu Yue walked towards the wall and stretched out his hand to cover it. A passage that was only wide enough for one person to pass through appeared on the wall. Zhuang Mingxu and Zhao Lei followed immediately.
The passage goes up all the way, and some places are so narrow that you need to turn sideways to pass through. "He is an earth-type mutant, and there are rooms on both sides."
The opponent could fly straight up accurately without touching any room, so he could only be an earth-type mutant.
The passage twisted and turned, successfully avoiding all the rooms in the temporary residence, and finally reached a place only two meters above the ground, extending into the distance.
"Should we chase him?" Wu Yue asked.
"Chase!" Zhuang Mingxu responded quickly and grabbed the weapon he had been carrying.
The three of them walked less than a thousand meters along the passage when Wu Yue, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped. Zhao Lei also became alert at the same time.
"What's wrong?" Zhuang Mingxu had just asked when he was protected by Wu Yue and fell backwards step by step.
The soil in front of him began to move, and then a passage appeared, followed by eight or nine people holding torches.
"The one in the middle," Zhao Lei whispered to Zhuang Mingxu, "the missing person."
Zhuang Mingxu's eyesight was not as good as the two psychics. It was not until the other party got a little closer that he saw a person being dragged in the middle at the back. It was their missing "corpse".
"Who are you?" Wu Yue, who was standing in front of the two people, asked first.
"Hello, we are from the Mountain God Base." The one walking in front was a woman, about forty years old. Her clothes were patched and white, but they were washed clean. "I am the messenger of God, Tan Yun."
Mountain god base?
Wu Yue glanced at Zhuang Mingxu calmly, and the other party shook his head slightly, indicating that he had never heard of this base.
However, the word "mountain god" is not really a wonderful memory.
"You may not have heard of us, but the original Panshui base must have known us." Tan Yun ignored the vigilance of several people and introduced herself, "We were originally from the Panshui base, and then..."
She looked at the people they were dragging and said, "There were some disagreements among the people in our base, so we split up and formed the Mountain God Base."
"I know you are from the Yuebanwan base. Your base commander was promoted here, and you were sent here to guard him. I had wanted to visit you a long time ago, but there were so many things going on in the base that I never had the chance, so it was delayed."
"Recently, our base has learned that people from Panshui Base are planning to attack your psychics. Lord Mountain God sent us here to warn you, but..."
Tan Yun smiled embarrassedly and tucked the hair behind her ears. This action looked particularly gentle under the dim torchlight. "We didn't know you moved the base and got lost."
"Until I met him by accident. Sorry, we are late," Tan Yun said as he bowed in the direction of the three people, looking very self-blaming.
The three people were puzzled by his compassionate posture, which seemed like that of a savior.
