Chapter 628: Showdown
After he finished speaking, he realized that his teammate had left, but there was a strange figure standing next to him.
Before he could ask, Zhou He's voice came out breathlessly, "How is it? Are you hurt?"
"Captain, you guys are back." Zhao Lei was worried that the people chasing them were so powerful that Zhou He and the others might encounter an accident. Even though the situation was not good at this time, he couldn't help but feel happy to see him, "What happened to Guan Wei?"
"I was a little injured," Guan Wei replied.
Several team members who were taken away by Qu Zhu not far away did not walk far and retreated again. In front of them, dense plants appeared on the ground. The dark purple buds were so thick that they seemed to be poisonous. They competed to bloom towards the few people in the dark night.
This made it easy for everyone to think of the mutated plant with hypnotic effects that destroyed their temporary base.
A woman in red appeared not far from it at some point. When it got closer, it was seen that one of her arms seemed to be parasitized by the mutant plant and had merged with it.
Her gauze skirt fluttered in the wind and moonlight, making her look like a ghost. She silently reached out to the curved bamboo, and green leaves and flowers suddenly grew wildly.
Qu Zhu reacted the fastest. He told everyone to cover their noses and stay away, while releasing his own wood-related abilities towards the plants. The flower buds immediately began to rapidly wither and fall off, but then grew again under the stimulation of the woman in red.
The two wood-type mutants seemed to treat this mutant plant as a battlefield for their supernatural power contest, one promoting its growth while the other suppressing it. This also caused the mutant plant in front of them to repeat the process of growth and decay over and over again in the naked eye.
On the other side, the snowballs did not cause any damage to the psychics on the opposite side, but the scattered snow still covered the heads and faces of several people.
This was a situation they had never encountered before since they entered this level, and several people couldn't help but look over.
"It's you, Z..."
“So much nonsense”
The people on the opposite side obviously recognized the man. The man in white was interrupted by the man's hoarse voice just when he was halfway through his words.
Immediately afterwards, the air around him seemed to become a little colder, and a chill spread from the man. Even at a distance of several steps, one could feel the chill penetrating into the bone marrow.
He tilted his head slightly and mouthed the word "go" to Zhou He, who was closest to him.
Zhou He's eyebrows twitched, and before he could react, he saw the heavy snow within his sight was summoned by an invisible force. It instantly rose from the ground and fluttered, blocking everyone's vision.
"Oh shit..." Zhao Lei sighed carelessly as he watched the scene. Just as he was about to say something else, Zhou He grabbed him and said, "Go away."
"After a hundred meters, I will use the rocket launcher, so you just hold on," Zhou He said to the man who had his back to them.
With the blessing of supernatural power under his feet, he ran very fast even with Zhou He on his back. Zhao Lei didn't react at first, but when he understood what was going on, he immediately caught up.
"team leader".
"team leader".
Several teammates who were forced back by the mutated plants saw Zhou He and greeted him, waiting for his instructions.
Because of Qu Zhu's few shots just now, the enemy's psychics were more or less in a mess. This was the crystal core gun that Zhuang Mingxu had newly modified when he left the base. It looked no different on the outside, but the converter inside was a first-level converter that was only used on fighter jets and missiles.
Unlike the previous crystal core gun which could fire continuously, here a crystal core can only be fired once, and the energy in the crystal core can be fully utilized at one time, which is extremely powerful.
This made the people at the Panshui base, which was already remote from the Yuebanwan base and where crystal core weapons were rare, underestimate the enemy. Their embarrassed appearance also completely annoyed several people, causing those who were originally watching the show to start intercepting them.
The naked eye can guard against visible metal and flames, but invisible mental attacks are the most deadly. In addition, the levels of several people are not even S-level, and they have no room for resistance in the hands of several S-level psychics.
The invisible mental blade seemed to be deliberately torturing them, slashing at them from all directions, but only leaving a shallow wound that did not threaten their lives, but the blood continued to flow.
What Zhao Lei and the other two saw when they came over was a scene where several people were being bullied without any chance to fight back.
"Fuck him!" Zhao Lei cursed and ran towards them.
Zhou He threw something to Guan Wei on his back and shouted to Qu Zhu in the distance,
Qu Zhu obeyed the order promptly, and then he felt a heat passing through his head. Even though it didn't touch him, his clothes also caught fire. Fortunately, there was wind and snow all around, so the fire was quickly extinguished.
When he got up, the mutant plants that were showing their fangs and claws before had turned into ashes, and the road reappeared.
"Du Wen, rocket launcher."
Zhou He shouted that people had arrived nearby. They looked covered in wounds. The loss of blood and the low temperature made several of them look pale. Even though Zhao Lei had tried to help, he could not resist the omnipresent mental force, and soon he also had wounds.
It seemed as if there were layers of cages woven with mental power all around. The people controlling them were very excited and would change the direction of a certain mental power thread from time to time, and immediately a blood mark would appear on someone's body.
Zhou He didn't get too close. He caught the rocket launcher thrown by Du Wen and put it on his shoulder.
Zhao Lei and his companions knew what he was going to do, and immediately supported each other and ran towards Qu Zhu.
"One hundred and twenty meters southeast" Guan Wei's voice sounded in his ears.
With a "bang", Zhou He ran towards the distance without stopping, carrying Guan Weima, as he passed through the flying snow and wind with a tail of fire on his back.
On the thermal imager held by Guan Wei, a man approached to intercept, but was hit by the flames and rushed straight into the distance and fell onto the arrogant and motionless psychic. The ground shook violently and an area of one kilometer was completely reduced to ruins.
"Eight hundred meters southwest" Guan Wei's voice continued to sound.
Zhou He paused and shot again.
With the power of the previous attack, no one tried to take it head-on this time. When they saw the flames flying, they turned around and disappeared from the screen in a moment.
"Is everyone okay?" Zhou He met up with the main force and asked.
"fine".
"fine".
"You guys came back just in time..."
Even though everyone was injured and didn't look well, their faces still had a cheerful look as if they had survived a disaster.
"Captain, the guy who just helped us..."
"Here he comes." As Guan Wei finished speaking, they saw flying snowflakes swirling like a hurricane, carrying a person and appearing in front of them.
Zhao Lei reacted quickly, took a few steps forward, and helped the staggering man up, "Thanks, buddy."
The man didn't respond to him, but said in a hoarse voice, "Run, they have psychics and will definitely catch up with you."
Zhou He looked at Guan Wei.
"Hit, but not dead yet." Guan Wei kept an eye on the heat source displayed on the instrument and could vaguely see the figures of two people on the destroyed ground.
"Let's do something big." Zhou He gritted his teeth, turned around and handed Guan Wei to Sun Cheng, "You go first, I'll kill him."
As long as the psychic is not dead, they can't escape no matter what, so they might as well kill him while he is hit by the rocket launcher.
"I'll go with you," Zhao Lei said.
Zhou He did not refute. There were two S-level psychics there. Even if they were injured, the possibility of him taking down one of them was not high.
"I..." The remaining people wanted to speak, but Zhou He raised his hand to stop them, "You leave immediately, I will catch up with you as soon as possible."
He handed the crystal core gun from Qu Zhu to Zhao Lei, then turned and ran towards the direction of the rocket explosion.
Zhao Lei followed closely behind, and the man who had been silent also followed behind Zhao Lei.
"Who is that person?" the person who saw this scene asked Guan Wei.
"None of you know him?" Guan Wei asked back.
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Guan Wei thought about the syllable that the other party uttered when he met a few psychics just now, as well as the man's obviously hoarse voice when he spoke, and had a vague guess in his heart.
Not knowing whether he should say it or not, he sighed and said, "Let's go quickly and don't hold the captain back."
Zhou He saw the man following him and didn't say much.
The reckless use of their supernatural powers just now had caused the three of them to be a little exhausted. Their speed gradually slowed down, and Zhao Lei was even out of breath.
The man took out the crystal core from his body and wanted to hand it to Zhao Lei, but he thought of something and paused. During this hesitation, Zhou He had already stuffed the crystal core into Zhao Lei's arms before him.
"Thanks, captain, I knew you had something good in your hands." Zhao Lei absorbed it heartlessly.
In a few minutes, the three men arrived near the land hit by the rocket launcher. Zhou He directly turned on the thermal imager and found someone coming. The person hiding on the wall of the pit suddenly appeared.
Without wasting any more special powers, Zhou He directly shot with his gun, each shot aimed at the opponent.
Now the two of them knew that they had been exposed, so they quickly changed direction and used their special powers to defend themselves.
As the mental barrier appeared, the artillery fire was immediately blocked in mid-air, and countless small metal balls flew out from under the pit like flowers scattered by fairies.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two men quickly jumped out of the pit. The man, who was originally covered with metal, now had his clothes torn into strips. The high temperature even melted half of his face. The soft hair of the psychic with a feminine face who was being pulled by him had disappeared.
Zhao Lei and the man attacked at the same time, using ice shields to defend themselves while creating countless ice balls to bounce towards each other.
The identities of the hunter and the hunted have changed. This time, the sky is full of ice balls, the size of a thumb, spinning at high speed, and a blood hole will immediately appear when it touches the body.
Zhou He just kept shooting at the two people from beginning to end. Three shots were enough to break the mental barrier, and the energy that supported it again became weaker each time.
Both of them were S-level psychics and were seriously injured. Facing three psychics of the same level, there was almost no possibility for them to escape.
"Eat my crystal core and go." The feminine man was more decisive.
"No," the metal man still insisted. He stood in front and used his body to completely block the people behind him.
“Hurry up, or none of us can get away,” the man shouted.
His response was still a short "no".
He did not try to dig out the opponent's crystal core, but instead left his back to the opponent, giving him a chance to attack him at any time.
Perhaps knowing that his decision could not be shaken, the man with a feminine face made a decision that was beyond everyone's expectations...
