Chapter 624: Falling into a Trap
Or, probably, every one of them.
Zhou He calmly looked at Guan Wei who was still alert to the surroundings beside him. He didn't look like he had discovered anything, so he could only calm him down and said, "Let's carefully explore further."
"Okay," Guan Wei responded, and was about to walk in, but Zhou He grabbed his hand and pulled him behind him, "You go behind me."
The moment they touched, he squeezed Guan Wei's hand suggestively.
Guan Wei's palms froze, and the two men looked at each other and immediately understood each other's meaning. He said nothing and followed the force to stand behind Zhou He.
The two men looked around and moved forward, seemingly alert to the surrounding situation, but in fact they were looking for the other three people - Zhou He wanted to leave immediately.
After slowly moving forward for less than a hundred meters, he still hadn't entered the lighted area. Just as Guan Wei was silently asking with his eyes what was going on, he suddenly felt empty under his feet.
Guan Wei reacted quickly and tried to pull Zhou He, but was dragged down to the ground instead. In a short while, they both fell to the ground at the same time, quickly lying back to back.
Just as Guan Wei was about to use his supernatural powers to bring the two of them back to the ground, he felt Zhou He slightly pulling his arm.
"Look what I caught? Two little tigers stealing food, hehe..." A sticky voice sounded, and a circle of torches was lit in the dark underground. The people who were illuminated by them squinted their eyes unconsciously, and when they opened their eyes again, they saw a circle of people surrounding them.
Compared to the prisoners captured before, their eyes looked more scarlet, as if stained with blood, and the expressions on their faces seemed to be engraved on them, and it took a while for them to change, as if the muscles in their cheeks were unresponsive.
There was excitement in their eyes as they walked towards Zhou He and the other man, but their movements were unusually stiff, as if the bones in their knees were frozen. They took two straight steps and then suddenly turned, making them look like they were limping.
The whole circle of people were in this pattern, and under the light, it gave people the illusion that the zombies were moving towards them.
"I hate you people in the Central District the most. You pretend to be decent people during the day, but still act like decent people at night, as if you are so noble."
"That's right, if you have the ability, then don't eat it. It's hypocritical."
"Stupid, if they don't come out, how can we catch the lone person?"
"Yeah, in the end it was a bargain for us, haha..."
"Of course, the central area is full of high-end goods..."
"I haven't eaten it for a long time. Don't be afraid, we will be quick and it won't be painful."
Several people were talking at once in incomprehensible words. Zhou He and Guan Wei stood back to back, alert. After they had taken a look at the underground environment and confirmed that there were only these people around, they moved quietly and suddenly attacked the people who were approaching with lightning speed.
Guan Wei's earth-based ability separated the people in front of him in the first place, and Zhou He's fire dragon instantly burned the three people in front of him to ashes.
The fire dragon extended to the side, and the earth wall suddenly fell to the ground. Then a water-type superpower appeared to suppress the fire. A fire-type superpower also appeared and controlled the fire dragon to turn towards Guan Wei.
This was Zhou He's first experience of competing with others for control of superpowers. He had often heard Guan Wei mention that when two earth-type superpower users controlled a piece of land at the same time, superpower suppression would occur, but he had never thought that this situation would also occur with fire-type superpower users.
When Zhou He saw the fire snake turn around, he was stunned for a moment, and then he saw that Guan Wei next to him was not in a good situation either. Half of his body was stuck in the ground, and he was obviously controlled by the earth-type mutant opposite him, but his other hand was pressed on the ground to make sure that the place where he was standing was not controlled.
Zhou He immediately followed the other party's instructions and extinguished the fire snake in an instant. At the same time, he created another set of heads that wrapped around several psychics in mid-air.
At the same time, two gunshots rang out, and two people fell down on the opposite side again. Guan Wei came out from the ground, his legs staggered, and Zhou He held him on his shoulder.
"How about it?"
"Nothing." Guan Wei's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. You could tell it was not what he said.
In one round, they killed eight people on the opposite side, and the remaining three showed no emotion at all, and even their eyes did not tilt at all, as if the dead were all insignificant strangers, and they even seemed to have more interest in them.
They tacitly surrounded the two people from three different directions, and the surrounding ground kept wriggling like black worms, ready to swallow the two people at any time.
Zhou He felt Guan Wei, who was hanging on him, sliding toward the ground, as if his legs could not support his body, but his special ability continued to solidify the ground under the feet of the two people.
There was frost under the feet of the two people that fixed their feet in place, and the cold blue light with a strange glow spread from their feet upwards.
The moment they touched, Zhou He felt the feeling in his legs disappearing. He immediately activated his supernatural power to cover both of them. Even so, it did not stop the ice from spreading upwards. In fact, the temperature rose near the skin, melting part of the ice. The wet clothes stuck to the body and made them feel even colder.
"As expected from the Central District, you are really capable." The man who spoke first never changed the mask on his face. He glanced at the remaining two people and said, "How do we divide it?"
"One is fire and the other is earth, which is perfect for the two of us." One of them said in a hoarse voice, and he looked at the other man who had been silent, "What do you think?"
A sarcastic sneer answered his question.
They seemed to have already determined that they would have no choice but to die here and become their dinner for the day, and given Guan Wei's current condition, they really couldn't take him away.
The superpowers of the three people on the opposite side are not weak, and what's more important is that their lives have been threatened for a long time, and their control over superpowers is not inferior to them. Seeing them dividing the spoils leisurely and not in a hurry to take action, you can know that even if they are S-level superpowers, they may not be a big deal in their eyes.
The ice wall was still extending from the bottom to the top and had already reached the chest level. The two were almost fixed in place.
After understanding the current situation, Guan Wei leaned his head to rub Zhou He and whispered, "Let's go."
Zhou He understood what he meant and dodged the ice layer and hit Guan Wei with his waist.
The hard instrument hitting his body caused Guan Wei to react and his breathing slowed down. He seemed unable to support himself and hung on Zhou He. His lower back arm quietly reached for Zhou He's pocket. The thick layer of ice blocked the three people's sight, and Guan Wei was deliberately careful, so no one noticed their little action for a while.
Time seemed to be stretched out until the three people, along with their internal organs, were divided. The man who spoke first took a step towards the two men.
"You look so delicious. I can't wait," the man said, raising his hand and waving in Zhou He's direction.
At this moment, Guan Wei suddenly looked up and saw that the wriggling ground surrounding them suddenly condensed into a spear and pierced the man's chest.
"My superpowers..." The earth-type superpower user was the first to realize something was wrong. He had lost control of the land.
Before he finished speaking, the water-based mutant next to him had already attacked the two of them. The ice wall that he had originally controlled to cover the two of them seemed to have disappeared - he had lost his sensitivity to water.
The man was surprised for a moment, then he swiftly pulled out a knife from his body and swung it at the two men, but Zhou He was faster. The moment the man came forward, a gun was pointed at his head.
The ice wall that had been spreading across his chest had stopped rising when the supernatural jammer was activated. Guan Wei turned the metal sheet on his body and stuck it on Zhou He.
A wave of heat surged out from his body, and in an instant the ice wall that held the two of them together melted into water, and the moisture was also sucked out of their originally chilly clothes.
Seeing that the situation was not right, another earth-type mutant turned around and tried to escape, but a trap suddenly appeared under his feet, fixing his entire lower body in it.
A suppressed groan attracted the attention of several people, and they saw the man sinking continuously, the pain making the veins on his face exposed, making him look more like a normal person.
As his upper body sank into the ground, the man looked up to the sky and let out a scream before disappearing underground in an instant.
"I want to die quickly," the water-based mutant whose head was pointed at by Zhou He said bluntly after seeing this scene.
"That's up to you." Zhou He simply shot the man twice in the legs. Seeing the man fall to the ground covering his legs, he finally paid attention to Guan Wei.
"How is it?" Zhou He reached out to check.
Guan Wei shook his head, "It should be a broken bone." After he fell into the ground, he was squeezed hard by the surrounding land. Guan Wei suspected that if they had not left it for convenience and practicality, his legs would have been squeezed into meat paste.
"You sit down, I will interrogate you first." Everyone here is a person with super powers. Zhou He carries a super power jammer on him to save their lives. If it is turned on for a long time, it will be easy for others to locate their position.
At this time, Zhou He could only seize the time to ask as much as possible from the other party.
When the man heard Zhou He asking about the Panshui base, he said with a smile, "Isn't it just you eat me and I eat you? What's the situation? ..."
He suddenly stopped talking and looked at the two people in the dim yellow light from the ground. The surprise in his eyes became more and more intense, and finally he said with certainty, "You are not from here."
Zhou He didn't say anything, but the man had confirmed his idea and started talking about the situation here.
It was not much different from what Song Huai said. Luo Qi did not manage the Panshui base well, which caused the temporary base to quickly fall into chaos.
Even though they know the problems that having too powerful psychics may bring, they have no choice but to do so as they are in an environment where they could become someone else's food at any time if they are not strong enough.
From the beginning when everyone was eating it unscrupulously until now, a series of problems have gradually been exposed.
"First of all, the crystal cores of mutants cannot be consumed without limit." The man sat on the ground, looking calm and not seeming to be restricted by them.
Zhou He also felt that many of the people he met recently were sober when they did evil things. They knew it was wrong, so they accepted the consequences calmly.
