Chapter 646: Kidnapping Speculations
"Don't worry, no matter who is missing, you are indispensable." Guan Wei watched Sun Cheng leave, invited Zhuang Mingxu to sit down, and took the initiative to say, "I think it will take them a while to assemble. Let me first tell you about this outing."
Zhuang Mingxu had the same idea, so he made a gesture of invitation and listened to him.
As an S-level psychic in the team, Guan Wei is one of the main fighting forces in the team and knows the most things.
From the shocking discovery at the Panshui base, to their breakout from the siege, and entering another base where good and evil were difficult to distinguish, Guan Wei did not add any subjective consciousness, and Zhuang Mingxu's brows gradually furrowed as he listened.
"Then will they send someone to escort you?" After Zhuang Mingxu finished speaking, he immediately called a wood-type mutant and asked him to help Guan Wei check his body to make sure that there were no deadly plants left in his body. He then asked the other person to check on the others.
"I find this a bit strange too. The captain and I were prepared for them to take action on the way." Guan Wei was also a little puzzled.
Zhuang Mingxu asked him to tell him everything in detail again, and he had a guess in his mind.
Just at this moment, the machine that had been assembled was completed. The switch was turned on, and the machine started humming, with the sound of several people finishing it.
Zhuang Mingxu walked forward, picked up Guan Wei and put him on the examination table.
"Base... Base Commander..." Guan Wei, an old straight man, was suddenly carried in a princess hug. He didn't know where to put his hands, especially since he knew that Zhuang Mingxu was in an open same-sex partner. "I... cough... I can do it myself."
"Do you want to climb up by yourself?" Zhuang Mingxu asked back, putting the people down and letting others debug the equipment. "If there is something you can't do, just tell your teammates at any time. Don't feel embarrassed. The healing psychics in our base have the strongest ability among all the current bases."
“Don’t just talk about repairing some minor injuries. Even if you lose your legs, they can help you stand up again.” Zhuang Mingxu has experienced the feeling of having to rely on others in life, so he is naturally more meticulous.
He patted Guan Wei on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about anything. It's just a minor injury. You need to rest. It's no different from an external injury or bleeding."
Guan Wei immediately understood what he meant and said with a smile, "I won't be polite, thank you, Base Commander."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Come up with a plan later and bring a copy to my side. After you've worked out the most suitable solution, send the person back," Zhuang Mingxu said to several military doctors.
"Don't worry, base commander, we will ensure the mission is accomplished."
"Okay, I'll go check on Zhao Gang. You can go back and rest after the inspection."
After giving the instructions, Zhuang Mingxu digested Guan Wei's information in his mind and walked slowly towards the next ward.
There were not many people in the temporary base, and the military medical institute was just a small yard. It took only a few minutes to reach the ward after leaving the examination room where Guan Wei was.
Brothers Zhao Gang and Zhao Lei were resting in a ward. Zhao Lei hadn't eaten for several days and had just been given a nasogastric tube and some porridge.
Hearing the footsteps, Zhao Gang instantly looked over with alertness. His pair of scarlet eyes were like a wild beast, and the ferocity in his eyes seemed as if he was ready to bite someone at any time.
This was a strange place for him. Even though Du Wen, who sent them here, said it was safe, five years of vigilant life still did not allow him to relax at all.
Even before feeding Zhao Lei something, Zhao Gang ordered people to take a bite first before agreeing to let Zhao Lei take it.
Even though the other party was confused and speechless, Zhao Gang's attitude remained unchanged.
Seeing another stranger at this time, his whole body tensed up, and his supernatural powers faintly floated around him, ensuring that he would take immediate action if the other party showed any abnormality.
"Don't be nervous, I'm an ordinary person." Zhuang Mingxu seemed not to notice his vigilance. He glanced at the diagnosis card hanging on the head of Zhao Lei's bed and introduced himself, "I am Zhuang Mingxu, the deputy base commander of Yuebanwan."
Although the Yuebanwan temporary base has been stationed in the surrounding area for several months, they have no intention of contacting the surrounding bases, and the situation inside is like an iron barrel, and no news has been leaked out. The only news known to other bases is that the base chief of Yuebanwan has been promoted here, and the base has sent base troops to protect it.
Zhao Gang had upgraded himself, so he naturally knew that there were dangers in the upgrade process. He didn't think much about it at first, but as time went by, there was still no news of success, which made Luo Qi eager to make a move. However, the people he sent last time were almost wiped out, which made him calm down a lot.
As for an ordinary person being the deputy base chief, Zhao Gang had heard mostly romantic rumors. But seeing that Zhuang Mingxu came with the title of deputy base chief, Zhao Gang naturally had no reason to target him, especially since he knew that his younger brother still needed their help, and as for himself, who had upgraded himself by eating the flesh and blood of the psychics, his future would depend entirely on the other party.
It was not a good feeling to have one's life and future completely trapped in the hands of others, but Zhao Gang had no choice.
"Hello, my name is Zhao Gang." He tried his best to remain kind and even smiled, although he could clearly feel the muscles on his face being pulled, which might have made things even more terrifying. "I'm Er Lei...brother."
"Hello." Zhuang Mingxu sat beside his bed, looking ready to talk in detail.
Before he could even open his mouth, Zhao Gang asked, "Just now the doctor said that Er Lei needs to be examined and an MRI machine will be used. Here..."
Whether it was the previous Panshui base or the two bases after the split, the leaders had no long-term vision. This kind of thing had never appeared before. Zhao Gang didn't think that a temporary base with only more than 2,000 people would have it, but he still held hope in his heart.
The "base commander" heard some noise in the room. Someone looked in from the door and saw Zhuang Mingxu greeting him.
Zhuang Mingxu nodded and asked, "Zhao Lei wants to do an MRI?"
"Not only that, we are currently unable to determine what caused the person to fall into a coma, so we want to use scientific instruments to test and screen him first. We will do MRI and CT scans for preliminary judgment."
"Okay, I got it. Please count out what other instruments are needed later and have someone assemble them in the warehouse."
Even after hearing what he said, Zhao Gang still confirmed it again, "Really?"
"Don't worry, I have it." Seeing the other party heaved a sigh of relief, Zhuang Mingxu also relaxed a little.
"What do you want to know?" Zhao Gang asked proactively. He probably only knew the information he knew about the value of Yueban Bay.
"I want to know about the kidnapping yesterday."
Zhao Gang didn't expect the other party to ask him directly about yesterday. This made his brain pause for a moment while he was organizing his thoughts, and it took him a while to talk about what happened at that time.
Although Zhao Gang followed Zhou He's team, his long-term consumption of people with special abilities made these people seem like moving meals to him, and high-level and extremely tempting ones at that.
This kind of life for a long time has changed his body. He needs to use forced restraint to control his behavior. Knowing that Zhou He only took him in for the sake of his brother, Zhao Gang didn't want to cause trouble for his brother, especially since he was unconscious and needed him, so he kept as much distance from them as possible.
Although Du Wen and his companions accepted him as the family member of their comrade, they knew where he was brought from and his appearance was obviously different, so they did not take the initiative to approach him.
This makes them appear harmonious on the surface, but clearly divided inside.
"There must be something restricting our superpowers at the place we were in at that time, so our superpowers are weaker than our actual abilities." When they were in a weak position and asked for help, they didn't want to use their superpowers to casually explore and offend the other party, causing misunderstandings and delaying treatment. Therefore, they rarely use their superpowers in large quantities.
All of Zhao Gang's attention was on his brother who had not yet woken up. He sensed someone behind him. Even though he had no special powers, his sixth sense made him instantly alert. However, the other person moved very quickly. He covered his mouth with one hand and dragged the person down the cave.
When he landed, he had already heard Du Wen's voice calling for help. Knowing that they had discovered him, Zhao Gang was not in a hurry anymore. He was able to attack people in the central area of the Mountain God Base as if he was in an empty space. Zhao Gang also wanted to see who the other party was.
"It was at this moment that I discovered that my supernatural powers were restricted." Zhao Gang leaned against the head of the bed, a thin quilt covering his body, but most of it was flat. He looked up as if thinking, and after a while he said, "This feeling is exactly the same as when I was attacked."
He was not sure whether Zhuang Mingxu knew what he was talking about. Just as he was about to explain, he heard Zhuang Mingxu ask, "How do you know it wasn't the effect of the supernatural jammer? You should have felt the effect of the jammer Zhou He carried."
As soon as Zhao Gang heard it, he knew that Zhuang Mingxu already knew what he had told Zhou He. "It feels different. The jammer completely suppresses the superpowers in the body. It's like there are surging sea water inside the body, but there are only a few tiny channels on the skin, so it can't be used. But... that kind..."
He thought, “It’s as if the flow of seawater in the body is blocked, causing stagnation.”
Zhuang Mingxu thought about it and nodded, "Is that the same feeling as when your abilities were suppressed at the Mountain God Base?"
"It's different," Zhao Gang replied immediately, "The supernatural power suppression of the Mountain God Base is silent, and it cannot be detected at all without consuming a large amount of supernatural power. If the jammer you are using now is regarded as the intermediate stage, then it is in a state between the primary and intermediate levels."
Zhuang Mingxu listened to him and tapped his fingers unconsciously. After a while, he asked, "You only experienced that feeling at Panshui Base..."
The result given to them by the Shanshen Base was also caused by the people from the Panshui Base.
But Zhuang Mingxu didn't want to hear that. He looked at Zhao Gang and said, "After close contact with him, do you think he was from the Panshui base?"
Zhao Gang shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. No one answered any of my questions."
Zhuang Mingxu didn't say anything, just looked at Zhao Gang quietly. It was impossible for a man like him who could sneakily survive the harsh environment of Panshui base and come into close contact with others without discovering anything.
Then Zhao Gang chuckled and fumbled out of his pocket to take out a piece of rotten cloth. A closer look revealed blood stains on it.
He said firmly, "But I am sure--".
"The two people who died were definitely not the ones who did it."
"The two who died were definitely not them."
