Chapter 640: Mountain Space
"Are those ordinary people?" Yun Bai asked with a frown as he watched the two people hurriedly enter the hunting ground.
"Yes, many of the mutated animals near the edge are suitable for ordinary people to eat, so only ordinary people can get this subsidy. What's wrong?" Fang Tang was puzzled and looked in the direction of his gaze, but the figure had disappeared from sight.
Yun Bai shook his head.
It seemed that when he bumped into the man and tried to help him, he felt something dragging the other person away from him, just just a little bit, and then stopped.
The scale was not large, and for a moment he could not tell whether he was seeing things in the dark or whether it was real.
"Do you feel any supernatural powers?" Yun Bai asked Zhou He.
Zhou He squinted his eyes and looked towards the end of the passage, not knowing what he was thinking about. He shook his head and said, "Let's go back."
Zhou He decided to give one of them to Fang Tang, and asked him to share it with the several psychics who saved them as a token of their gratitude.
Except for the one that was brought back to the team members, the rest were given to Mo Tiantian.
But the other party refused by saying that he couldn't finish it.
"If you can't eat it, pickle it into bacon and save it, and eat it slowly later. This thing only has brute force, and its level is not high. Grandpa can eat some in the future, it's good for your health." Zhou He saw that the other party was looking at Xiaobantou with a confused look on his face, and glanced at Qu Zhu.
"Sister, brother will help you with it. I will make sure it is tidy for you before I leave." Qu Zhu had become quite familiar with her in the past two days. He immediately responded with a smile and even carefully took him to count what kind of storage each place could be used for. Mo Tiantian was surprised and amazed when she heard it. After a while, she said to Zhou He embarrassedly, "Then I would like to thank Uncle Zhou first."
When Qu Zhu heard this generation, he was so tired that tears came to his eyes. If it were someone else, he would definitely make a joke, but the captain -
Forget it.
Zhou He was not the kind of person who cared about this. Two days were enough for him to understand the living standards of the people here. Just by looking at Mo Tiantian, a therapist, who only ate porridge and side dishes all day, he knew that everyone was having a hard life.
"Make something that can be kept for a long time, and the sweetness can also be stored," he reminded Qu Zhu.
Qu Zhu made an OK gesture to Mo Tiantian, and before being pulled away by Mo Tiantian, he made an invisible gesture of completion to Zhou He - before Zhou He left, he asked him to find out whether the awakened psychics in the base were really as they guessed. Qu Zhu spent a day to confirm from Mo Tiantian that every psychic here was indeed carefully selected.
Yun Bai and Zhou He looked at each other silently, and the sense of urgency in their hearts came over them again.
With the exploration of the two people the day before, they set out again the next day and took Guan Wei with them.
Fang Tang was puzzled at first, but he did not ask directly after Yun Bai secretly winked at him. After the two of them fell behind Zhou He for a period of time, he waited for explanation in confusion.
"Oh," Yun Bai sighed, "He is an earth-type mutant, S-level. He has always been at the top of the team in terms of mutant abilities. He has a strong sense of self-esteem. Ever since he found out there was something wrong with his legs, he has become even more competitive."
Yun Bai looked at Qu Zhu, who was being carried in front by Zhou He, with a worried look, and said regretfully, "After we went back yesterday, he said that he wanted to go with us today as well. Before we could even open our mouths to refuse, he said that his supernatural powers wouldn't hold us back."
With a bitter smile, Yun Bai whispered, "My comrade who went through life and death with me, seeing him like this makes me feel…"
Yun Bai didn't continue speaking, his voice was already a little hoarse.
Fang Tang is young, has a complicated experience but is sentimental. Seeing him like this, she immediately said a few words of comfort.
When the two of them paused to whisper, Zhou He did not stop and quickly distanced himself from Guan Wei with his back on his back.
"Is that where their mountain god lives?" Guan Wei asked in a low voice.
"Yes, have you found anything?" Zhou He looked like he was introducing the houses along the way to him. He stopped for a moment when passing by Sun Tao's house and said, "Be careful."
"There's still cement underground, so we can't explore the innermost part." Guan Wei said, glancing in the direction of the Taoist temple, but he didn't dare to rashly use his supernatural powers to explore there.
Zhou He carried the person on his back until he was a thousand meters away from the Taoist temple and almost reached the cultivated fields. Only then did he notice Guan Wei suggestively poking his shoulder and pointing at the ground below them.
Not more, not less, just the boundary between residential area and cultivated field.
The two of them didn't show anything. After entering the training ground, Guan Wei, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Captain, can I see how the earth-type mutants here are trained? Seeing Yun Bai learn new skills, I also want to see if there is one that suits me."
"I've already seen it, it's all what you know," Zhou He replied, without stopping.
"I want to go and see it myself," Guan Wei said firmly, with a stubbornness that made him unreasonable, as if he wanted to use this toughness to prove that his position in the team was still the same as before he was injured. "Is it not possible?"
Zhou He paused and explained in a good-tempered manner, "Today we are mainly hunting high-level mutant animals. These are a bit far from the entrance, and we may not have enough time..."
Guan Wei pursed his lips, his face showing no emotion. Yun Bai on the side immediately poked Zhou He, "Look, go and take a look, it won't delay anything."
Zhou He looked at Yun Bai silently, as if to remind him.
"How about we split into two teams. We go first, and you take Guan Wei to have a look before you go over. Maybe he can have new insights into the things we can't see clearly, which is also good for our team." Yun Bai looked back at Fang Tang while talking to Xi Ni, with a helpless and pleading look in his eyes, "Is that okay?"
Seeing Fang Tang nod, Zhou He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll take Guan Wei to take a look around before leaving. Your safety is the most important thing."
"Don't worry, Captain."
As soon as Yun Bai and Fang Tang left, Zhou He immediately carried Guan Wei on his back and headed towards the nearest earth-type mutant. The area around them was full of people using mutant powers, and Guan Wei's ability blended in with them was not noticeable at all.
In the underground where no one had discovered, Guan Wei's supernatural power sent out countless silk threads, spreading in all directions, and soon covered an area of several kilometers.
Zhou He carried the earth-type mutants on his back and looked over. Guan Wei looked at him curiously and directed him to keep moving forward. His leisurely look suddenly changed when he was approaching the hunting ground. Zhou He could clearly feel Guan Wei's body stiffened for a moment, and he immediately became alert to his surroundings without making a sound.
"Mr. Zhou, is there any problem?" The two of them stopped for too long. The person closest to them was a wood-type mutant. She was a woman in her forties or fifties and couldn't control the strength of her mutant powers each time. The plants in front of her would grow too fast or too slow from time to time.
She was not confident to begin with and with these two people standing silently aside, she felt like she was taking an exam and had an invigilator standing aside. She felt guilty and nervous, and soon she couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to ask.
"Sorry, sister, I just saw that you... look a bit like my missing sister..." Guan Wei's voice was hoarse but sincere. If Zhou He didn't know that this man was an only child, he would have really believed it. "I'm sorry to bother you. We'll leave now."
The woman really didn't mind, and even comforted him by saying, "It doesn't matter, don't be sad, just live well and you may meet him again someday."
"Thank you for your good words," Guan Wei thanked him, patted Zhou He on the shoulder and motioned him to continue walking.
A few minutes later, the two stopped near an earth-type mutant, "Captain, can we stop for a moment? I want to see his training."
Zhou He stopped immediately upon hearing that. Guan Wei curiously asked the earth-type mutant in front of him. He had the experience of Qi Le bringing Zhou He here before, and the person in front of him was very polite and took the initiative to demonstrate to him.
However, during the demonstration, the supernatural power seemed to be out of control. The surrounding land and the nearby cliffs suddenly exploded, and rocks and soil splashed in all directions. When it was about to attack the surrounding supernatural users, it returned to its original place as if time was reversed under the control of a supernatural power.
"Brother, are you okay? Did you lose control of your superpowers? " Guan Wei put down the hand that was controlling his superpowers and looked nervously at the teenage boy in front of him.
The little boy touched his head, a little confused. He looked around at his teammates who were looking at him with relief, and apologized, "Sorry, I didn't control it well. Are you hurt?"
"It's okay, this brother has it under control," a girl younger than him came to the rescue, "Thank you, big brother."
Children at this stage are still learning how to better control their superpowers, and have not yet learned how to use their superpowers for defense. If the bricks and stones just now had fallen down, someone would inevitably have been injured.
The remaining few people immediately thanked Guan Wei.
"You're welcome. It's normal that you have not been awakened for a short time and have poor control. It took me two years to master it after awakening. You are already great." Guan Wei said to a few children and looked at the little boy in front of him again, "Can you show me again? Let's take it slowly this time."
"Okay," the little boy nodded.
The two of them talked in detail for a while, all about controlling superpowers and how to use them to assist each other in different places at the same time. These were things that the superpower users who had figured it out step by step had already mastered. As soon as Zhou He heard this, he knew that Guan Wei was just stalling for time.
But Guan Wei guided the boy to consume a lot of energy. After nearly half an hour, the boy's face gradually showed a look of overdrawn supernatural powers. Guan Wei then said with a look of sudden enlightenment that he understood. After thanking him solemnly, the two continued on their way.
This time, he didn't say a word as he moved forward.
Two hours later, the two passed through the plant wall of the hunting ground, passed through the area where there were many psychics at the beginning, and walked towards the uninhabited hillside.
After making sure that there was no one around, Zhou He took the initiative to ask, "Did you cause the explosion just now?" He could feel that Guan Wei's superpowers increased for a moment, which was different from the previous cautious investigation.
Guan Wei breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on Zhou He's back, looking as if his supernatural powers were over-consumed. "There's nothing unusual underground in the training ground, but there is a hollowed-out space in the nearby mountain wall."
"The area is very large, and my supernatural power can only probe a little bit deeper. It disappears further ahead. I thought I encountered a barrier or something, and I was worried that I would be discovered, so I created the illusion that my supernatural power was out of control and pushed it onto the child."
