Chapter 643: Strong Obstruction
At the mountain god Taoist temple, the white deer was lying down to rest in a very human manner, with its hooves curled up on its chest and its eyes closed.
Compared to the last time, its skull has completely become a circle, the protruding nose bone has retracted into the face, the eyes on both sides are on the same plane, tender pink drooping ears appear on both sides, and the mouth seems to have been pulled up and moved.
The whole head no longer looks as fragile and cute as it did at first, and there is something weird about it everywhere.
If you get close, you can hear a suppressed whine coming from its throat, as if it is in great pain.
When the floor tile was lifted up, it just struggled and looked over.
He saw a man covered in rags and blood staggering and kneeling in front of him.
"Aqi..." Bai Lu's voice was weak.
"Xiaobai, help me recover quickly." The man gritted his teeth and leaned on the white deer. The dirt and minced meat on his body covered the white deer. The pungent smell of blood and the sticky feeling made the white deer tremble uncomfortably twice. It struggled with its hooves but failed to dodge.
The warm energy was transmitted from the place of contact, and the man's injuries gradually healed.
"What did you do again?" Bai Lu asked.
"Nothing, not a small amount..."
Before the man could finish his words, he saw the white deer staring at him with its clear eyes, as if it saw through his lies, with sadness in its eyes. Looking at its appearance at this moment, the man sat up slightly.
In the silence, Bai Lu said, "Can't we just not confront the people from Yueban Bay?"
"I didn't attack them," the man said. Seeing that Bai Lu didn't believe him, he sneered, "S-level is not uncommon in Panshui Base. There's no need for me to take the risk. I..."
"I just want to capture the experimental subject back." Seeing that Bai Lu was still silent, the man patiently said with a bit of annoyance in his tone, "Since humans have turned into zombies, I have to make plans early. We are all fine now, but who can guarantee that we will not look like zombies in the future..."
Just when the man thought that Bai Lu would not make another sound, he asked, "Have you been discovered?"
"No, I found a replacement." At this point, the man remembered the superpower that was suppressed at that time, "Yuebanwan must have developed a new superpower jammer. If I can get it and do some research..."
"Aqi, do you still remember our original purpose?" Bai Lu interrupted him and asked, seeing the excitement in his eyes.
"Look at me and answer me," Bai Lu said seriously.
"Let me awaken my superpowers, and we can live a good life away from humans." After the man finished speaking, he immediately explained, "Xiaobai, don't you want to completely get out of your current situation? Only when we become strong, can we have the ability to negotiate with them, and only then will we have hope of that day, when we can live openly and not shy away from it..."
"Can I wait that long?" Bai Lu asked lightly, making the man stop talking abruptly.
He looked at the head in front of him, which had completely lost its appearance of a white deer, and was unable to utter a word.
He wanted so much, but it seemed like there was always something missing.
After a moment of silence, the sound of someone running into the yard was heard from outside. The man immediately got up and changed his clothes. "I'll go and clean up first, we'll talk when I come back."
Bai Lu did not get up from beginning to end. The blood mixed with the mud on his body stuck to his hair, making him feel as if his skin was wrapped in blood.
He watched the man open the door and leave hurriedly without looking back once.
They stayed in this backward little place for too long, so long that he gradually became arrogant and became a frog in the well of this world, forgetting that in the beginning, they just wanted to be an ordinary psychic so that they could live an easier life.
Bai Lu sighed, closed his eyes and lay back on the mat.
**
Everyone thought there would be no discovery, but a living person appeared. Not only Qi Guang, but also Sun Cheng, who had just absorbed the spirit of the crystal core and felt better, came over with Zhao Gang.
I saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground, his clothes were tattered and he was covered in blood. The mask on his face had been mostly destroyed, and even his facial features were a little blurry where they were exposed.
"Do you know him?" Sha Peng grabbed the man's hair and forced him to look up at Zhao Gang.
Sun Cheng carried Zhao Gang forward, and Zhao Gang even reached out to grab it twice, frowning and saying, "It seems to be... a water-based mutant from the Panshui base."
He slapped the man twice on the face, leaving his hands sticky with blood. However, he seemed not to notice and pinched the man's chin to wake him up. "Why did you catch me?"
The sober man was confused for a moment, and then his eyes widened instantly after recognizing Zhao Gang. He didn't look like he was horrified at being caught, but rather surprised to see Zhao Gang.
The man opened Xuehu Lacha's mouth, chuckled twice, and reached out to pull Zhao Gang, but after struggling for two times, he completely lost his strength.
"Dead," Shapong gave the result and threw the man back to the ground.
"So the people from Panshui Base broke into our base quietly to arrest people?" Tan Yun looked at Zhao Gang seriously. This was the first time such a thing had happened after they had been in confrontation with Panshui Base for so long. He didn't know what temptation the person in front of him had that could make the other party so desperate.
"Where did they come from? Doesn't our base have psychic protection?"
"Yeah, didn't the psychics notice it? That means they can catch us anytime they want."
"Isn't it more valuable to kill him than to capture him?"
The crowd was silent for a moment, then became noisy again. Everyone's panic was visible to the naked eye, and they all asked Tan Yun how to deal with the situation.
It was the first time that Sun Cheng knew that the Mountain God Base had its own defense, so he asked out of curiosity. Tan Yun had no choice but to hide the fact that this had happened.
Only then did they realize that the vertical mountain-like wall at the entrance of the base was specially made by an earth-type mutant. Certain things were also integrated into it. Its trajectory would change every day. If the people entering did not open the door according to the route, they would be discovered.
"What about underground? People with earth-type abilities can just go underground," Sun Cheng pointed at the other person who was blown to ashes.
"The underground is surrounded by the roots of several mutant plants. It is impossible for people to pass through them and reach safety," Tan Yun said in a firm tone.
Sun Cheng expressed his doubts, as the area under the inner city where they lived was clearly a whole area of cement ground.
However, Tan Yun was so sure that the defense was safe, which meant that there was a big enough interest to take the risk. She looked at Zhao Gang again, "How did you get your face...?"
"Muscle twitching, as if some neurons are damaged." Zhao Gang had already agreed on an explanation with Sun Cheng, so he answered calmly and then looked at the person who had just died to change the subject. "He should have come for my crystal core. After all, we have the same attribute. After absorbing my crystal core, he should be able to become the new highest water-based mutant in the Panshui base."
The temptation is indeed great enough, but it just makes everyone more disgusted.
"Aren't you afraid of choking to death from eating too much?" Tan Yun rarely showed a cold face and kicked the dead man.
Zhao Gang, who had been watching closely, said nothing, but found that Tan Yun had kicked his tattered clothes open a little, revealing a faint black mark on his wrist - it looked like the mark caused by being tied up for a long time.
Zhao Gang was alert in his heart, "Can you hand over this person's body to me?"
"certainly……"
"No," a clear voice came from the crowd. Everyone made way when they heard it, and saw Qi Le appearing behind on a white horse.
The pure white horse was half a head taller than before the apocalypse, and had an unusually gentle temperament. When Qi Le was about to get off, the horse lay down to the side to make it easier for Qi Le to get off.
"Mr. Qi?" Although Sun Cheng didn't know what Zhao Gang was going to do, he still said to Qi Le, "After all, he attacked us. Even if he dies, it's okay for us to go back and burn him to ashes to avenge him, right?"
"It's both reasonable and appropriate," Qi Le said pertinently, and without waiting for anyone to say anything else, he continued, "It was our mistake that such a thing happened at the Mountain God Base. I will have someone thoroughly investigate the whole incident and give you an explanation."
"As for this person, I can't hand it over to you," Qi Le said firmly, "Everyone knows that this area originally belonged to the Panshui base. Even though we have separated ourselves from that hell, there are so many people in the base, and no one can guarantee that not everyone will eat the flesh and blood of the psychics, especially these high-level psychics."
These words were spoken righteously, and Sun Cheng was still arguing with the other party, hoping to take as many people away as possible, and perhaps discover more things, but Zhao Gang had already given up hope.
He winked at Qi Guang, who immediately stepped forward and carried him on his back, motioning for Sun Cheng to continue arguing with Qi Le. The two of them gradually blended into the crowd around them who were searching the ground in an attempt to find evidence of another person's identity.
"Tear that man's clothes off a bit, so he won't be discovered." After they were almost a distance away, Zhao Gang whispered to Qi Guang.
Qi Guang reacted but didn't look back. He just lowered his eyes and used a wooden stick to dig through a bunch of rags that had been blown into pieces on the ground. His supernatural power had quietly moved in the direction where the man was lying. Many earth-type supernatural users around him provided him with cover, and no one noticed his little action for a while.
The torn clothes were stripped off, revealing obvious scars from being tied up on the skin that was still intact. The dark blue and black appearance showed that it was caused by being trapped for a long time.
Qi Guang looked at a few more places and saw obvious signs of digging and cutting on his buttocks and back chest. The wounds were smooth, of varying ages. The old ones had already scabbed over, while the new ones still had bloodstains. But the strange thing was that there were traces of medicine on them, as if they had been carefully bandaged.
After getting the information he wanted, Zhao Gang asked him to tear off a piece of the other person's clothes and hide it, and then he stood next to Sun Cheng again.
Qi Le insisted on not allowing the body to be taken away. No matter how Sun Cheng guaranteed that their team members would not encounter such a situation, Qi Le still did not give in.
"Forget it. I just can't swallow this anger for the moment. What Mr. Qi said makes sense. Since the person is already dead, let Mr. Qi handle it." Zhao Gang stopped Sun Cheng from continuing.
Sun Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. Their captain was not there and the team members were in poor condition. He was indeed not suitable to go against Qi Leqiang. It was great that Zhao Gang could give in at this time.
