Chapter 623 Panshui Situation
"Aren't they psychics?" Yun Bai was a little confused as to why a group of psychics' first reaction when faced with a zombie would be to run away.
However, he soon realized that this was a zombie with special powers.
Seeing that the other party's attack was a fire dragon, which was so strong that it directly circled the fleeing person, Zhou He whispered, "Above Grade A."
"So high?" Some of them were A-level psychics, and they encountered A-level zombies so soon.
"He should have just been transformed. His clothes are still new, unlike the zombies from the outside world whose clothes are torn, and his hair and appearance don't look dirty. It can only be that an accident happened to the psychic and he turned into a zombie." Zhou He's words made several people silent. This also showed that even though they themselves were psychics, they were not omnipotent, and there were higher-level zombies that could infect them at any time.
Perhaps one day in the future they will become part of the zombie army, or even a high-level member.
"Is our base still researching a solution to the zombie energy?" Du Wen, the space-type psychic with the weakest psychic ability, asked in a low voice.
The others didn't know the details and they all looked at Zhou He.
"Not sure, but I feel there should be some," Zhou He said, raising his chin towards the outside, "there seem to be normal people in here."
When a few people looked over, they saw that in just a short while, a zombie had grabbed and bit the mutant who had no time to escape. His neat clothes had become bloody. The person he was holding in his hand was the old lady who had been waiting at the beginning. The old woman struggled and he bit off half of her face.
The man who was running back with the lunch box was desperately throwing icicles at the man, but the effect was limited. Not only did he fail to hurt the other person, but he also attracted his attention.
The zombie had no intention of getting up. He raised his hand and waved at the people attacking him. Several fireballs surrounded the water-based mutant and flew towards his body. A circle of ice walls appeared around him to prevent the fireballs from continuing.
"It's also A-level," exclaimed Zhao Lei, who is also a water-based mutant.
A hissing sound of hot air blocked everyone's vision. When the heat dissipated, the water-based mutant was already lying on the ground howling.
Just when the zombies were about to go forward to kill the people on the ground, someone came late from not far away. Several neatly dressed people came forward and raised their hands. An invisible force controlled the movements of the fire zombies. Then another fire-type mutant next to them took action. A powerful fire dragon covered the zombie's body. With a howling sound, the zombie finally burned to ashes, leaving only a shiny crystal core on the ground.
"Get down, quickly," someone in the team whispered, asking Guan Wei to quietly add reinforcements to the surrounding walls.
A group of people immediately obeyed, hiding under the window and asking the person who spoke, "Fan Yang, what did you find?"
"The one who just attacked was a psychic." Fan Yang himself was a psychic, and he felt it immediately when the other party attacked. He looked at Zhou He with tears in his eyes, "His ability is no weaker than mine."
Psychics are not common. Their base has consciously collected and recruited only a few hundred psychics, and their levels have been rising slowly. Naturally, he was surprised to see that there was someone higher than him among the other side.
"That fire element just now..." Zhao Lei looked at Zhou He.
"Similar to me." Zhou He is an S-level fire-type mutant, which only means that the other party is also S-level.
They had just arrived, and the lowest level they encountered was A-level. You can imagine how high the level of the psychics in the entire Panshui base is.
Especially when facing this group of meat-eating mutants, they are simply a plate of fine food in their eyes.
"Take another look," Wu Yue whispered, and Guan Wei immediately opened a few small holes in the reinforced wall for people to check.
The newly transformed zombies were instantly turned into ashes by several psychics. The living people watched the scene numbly, and even shrank back and moved farther away from them, with no intention of going up at all.
The fire-type mutant who had just attacked squatted down and pushed the water-type mutant who was wailing on the ground, then looked up and said something to a man in the crowd. The man shook his head, laughed and left.
"He asked him if he wanted to take it in?" Sun Cheng, a military doctor in the team, said softly, "The man said that his level was too low and there was not enough food."
The implied meaning in these words made several people look at each other in bewilderment. Several people who had dealt with the zombies outside turned around and left in a swagger. Only after the people disappeared did the survivors gather in twos and threes again.
The first thing they did when they got together was to check on the water-based mutant who had just been injured.
"There is still some humanity..." Guan Wei's words were stuck on his lips when he saw one of them waving a knife at the person on the ground.
The psychic on the ground suddenly had an ice pick in his hand and stabbed it towards the abdomen of the first psychic who approached him. Then, with a scratch, a big hole appeared in the abdomen, and blood and intestines splattered all over the ground. The man seemed to be unable to react, with the knife in his hand still raised in the air, and then slowly fell down.
The water-based mutant who had been struggling just now struggled to stand up, glanced at the people around him, waved the blood-stained ice cone in his hand, and walked towards the old lady who was burned to ashes.
Seeing him leave, a group of people rushed forward, pushing each other, taking out various small weapons from their bodies and pointing them at the person who had just fallen to the ground.
After the ice-type psychic collected all the ashes on the ground, the crowded crowd behind him dispersed in twos and threes, and only a bloody skeleton was left where he had fallen.
The man carried the ashes and staggered out of the tube-shaped building, heading outside. At the entrance of the tube-shaped building, which had been deserted, several children quickly appeared. They had a brief fight over the bloody skeleton, then quickly divided the spoils and disappeared into the dark corner. In the end, only pools of burnt ashes and traces of blood were left on the ground.
After a moment, the whole street was noisy again, with the sound of people playing cards and shouting, as if nothing had happened just now.
"Boss?" Zhao Lei, a tall and strong man, broke out in cold sweat when he saw this scene, not to mention the others.
Everyone looked at Zhou He in silence, wanting to know the next arrangements.
The superpowers of the people here are unexpectedly strong, which makes their abilities, which were originally showing a little bit, seem not good enough in front of these people, and the originally planned investigation becomes a little difficult.
"Let's... wait a moment." Zhou He looked at the entire bustling city and felt that it was somewhat inconsistent with the base that Song Huai mentioned.
Following the figure of the man who had just left, Zhou He said to the psychic Fan Yang and the remaining A-level psychics beside him, "You go and follow him. I'll come to you later to see if I can find out some information."
A few people hesitated and looked at the three people he left behind. Water-type Zhao Lei, Earth-type Guan Wei, and Wood-type Qu Zhu were not considered to have strong combat abilities.
"Captain, what are you going to do?" Yun Bai asked directly.
"The four of us will go into the city and take a look later," Zhou He said.
All four of them are S-level psychics, and they have a slight chance of winning in terms of superpowers among these people.
"I'll stay and help you," Yun Bai said. Seeing Zhou He wanted to stop him, he said, "My supernatural power is stronger than the wood element and I won't be a drag."
The others echoed, and Zhou He nodded.
After everyone left, Zhou He and the rest of the people quietly ambushed on the spot, waiting until nightfall without any instructions to take action. Zhao Lei couldn't help but ask what they were waiting for.
"Do you feel that there are too few people in this base?" Zhou He suddenly asked.
"Isn't it a lot compared to our temporary base?" Guan Wei said.
"We are just a temporary base," Qu Zhu said, frowning, "Even if the original Panshui base was split, there shouldn't be only so many people."
Not far away, lights gradually lit up, looming in the darkness, like dim lights, luring people to go forward.
"Don't you think their abilities are ridiculously strong?" Yun Bai suddenly spoke up, attracting everyone else's attention.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Lei's voice was hoarse.
"That's what you think." They rely on the blood and flesh crystal cores of psychics to upgrade. The higher the level, the more flesh and blood they consume. The more psychics are eaten, the fewer people will be left alive.
"Could it be...that they also live underground?" Guan Wei guessed with a forced smile.
"The lights are not on in the edge areas." The lights are already shining on the central area, like the nearby tube-shaped buildings that they have always been accustomed to. At this time, it is all dark. If they hadn't been staring at it, they would have suspected that no one lived there.
Even so, the number of people is indeed much smaller. After Zhou He made an overall calculation, he said, "Let's check in groups."
After roughly grouping people within the range of the Panshui base, several people acted separately.
The Panshui base at night is very different from that during the day. Almost no living people can be seen outside. Unlike the spacious glass before the apocalypse, the houses here have only one ventilation hole, which completely encloses the entire room into a space without sunlight.
Judging from the area outside, the space inside is only a dozen square meters at most. It is hard to imagine how a living person can rest inside.
The only sound on the desolate street could be the whistling sound of the cold wind, like the crying of thousands of souls.
Zhou He and Guan Wei were in a group. They moved towards the center along the way and did not encounter any guards along the way.
"Is it in the dark?" Guan Wei withdrew his supernatural power that was used to explore the underground and shook his head at Zhou He, "I didn't find any underground space."
Zhou He nodded slightly and motioned Guan Wei to look at the electronic device in his hand - this was the thermal imaging device that Zhuang Mingxu specially brought for them this time.
It will show the surrounding defenses hidden in the dark. At this time, there is no living creature except the two of them.
"Are they really not afraid of death?" There is no one defending against the zombies, no one is enforcing laws to maintain order, and now they are not wary of people with special powers. This is a completely desperate situation.
"Not necessarily." Zhou He stopped walking towards the center and felt a slight fluctuation in the air.
As a person who had experienced Lu Weiyi's spiritual baptism countless times, he instantly realized what it was.
Someone was monitoring them with filaments of mental power.
