Chapter 647 Qi Le? Luo Qi?
There was a lot of information in these words, but Zhuang Mingxu didn't find it strange. He glanced at the other person's hand and then turned his eyes to Zhao Gang's face.
"How can you be sure?"
"There were two people who took me away. One of them was an earth-type mutant, and the other one kept dragging me. He didn't take any action. I was not sure what kind of mutant power he had at the time, but one thing is certain, he moved quickly and decisively and definitely didn't have too many injuries on his body."
"After the explosion, the one who was left had water-type abilities, and the one who died could only be an earth-type ability user, but..." Zhao Gang sneered, one side of his cheek muscles raised while the other side didn't move at all. This made him look strangely superior, and made his next words even more convincing.
"The blood that exploded on the ground was black and red, and had a viscous state."
Zhuang Mingxu immediately understood what the other party meant. The blood of a normal person is bright red. Even if it is blown into pieces, the color of the blood and body flesh will not change. Only the blood of zombies or dead people will have a dark and sticky texture.
The skin and flesh of zombies are different from humans. The only one who dared to explode in the base openly could be -
dead!
"Then why do you think the other water-based mutant is also wrong?" Zhuang Mingxu asked.
"He has many scars on his body, including injuries from being tied up on his arms and thighs. The scars have turned black in color and they were not caused in a short period of time."
"Also, there are wounds on his back and buttocks caused by flesh being dug out, with different appearances. Some have been strictly bandaged and have scabbed over, while others are still fresh and appeared not long ago. Combined with the injuries from being tied up, I think he looks more like a person being controlled."
“If you meet someone with a strong will, even if he is injured, it will not affect his actions at the critical moment.” People like Zhuang Mingxu have all undergone special training, so they are naturally clear about this.
Zhao Gang did not refute and continued, "Besides, I know that water-based mutant. He has been missing in the Panshui base for some time. At that time, many people said that he was eaten by a higher-level person."
"For someone of his level, the only one who would attack him is probably Wang Bing. I asked Wang Bing, and he denied it. Other people would not eat people with different attributes unless it was an extraordinary situation. At that time, I went to his residence to investigate, and there was no sign of a fight."
"Could he have left on his own?" Zhuang Mingxu asked.
"No," Zhao Gang affirmed, "The high-level psychics in the Panshui base will never put themselves in a potentially dangerous environment, especially the high-level ones. Even if they stick together, there will never be two people with the same psychic attributes in the group, because they are worried about becoming each other's food."
"Similarly, they will not attack another person in public, because someone has failed and was retaliated against by someone else. After all, the difference is not too big, and there are always infinite possibilities. This is also the reason why high-level psychics act secretly."
"I was still wondering if I was facing a similar situation as I did, until... I saw him at the Yamagami Base."
There was a hint of amusement in Zhao Gang's eyes. "The high-level psychic who disappeared from Panshui Base appeared at Shanshen Base? Don't you think it's strange?"
"Let's make a broader guess. Is it possible that all the missing high-level psychics from the Panshui base are in the Shanshen base?"
Zhuang Mingxu's heart was struck by an invisible alarm bell. He spoke with difficulty, "How many high-level psychics disappeared from the Panshui base?"
"There are nearly a hundred explosions reported, not including some low-level ones that have not been counted." Zhao Gang suddenly looked at Zhuang Mingxu when he said this, "I heard from Zhou He that he went to the training ground of the Mountain God Base and saw new superpowers. There were no less than two hundred people whose levels were not lower than S level. Where do you think their sudden superpowers came from?"
"I haven't studied much, but I seem to have heard of a theory called..."
"Conservation of energy".
Even though Zhuang Mingxu had always felt that the supernatural powers of the Mountain God Base were not as mysterious as they had hyped up, he had never dared to think about it. After hearing what Zhao Gang said, it seemed that everything had a reasonable source.
His heart was beating fast, but he tried his best to suppress it and not show any emotion on his face. "This is just our guess. Do you have any other evidence?"
Zhao Gang looked at the cloth in his hand again. "The feel is different. The person who dragged me was wearing a very smooth, silk-like garment, and this..."
A kind of common rag.
After listening to him for so long, Zhuang Mingxu had a guess in his mind. He asked tentatively, "Do you have a guess about who this person is?"
Zhao Gang neither refuted nor responded.
This made Zhuang Mingxu immediately feel that this person must be a person of high status and unexpected, otherwise he would not be like this.
"Who do you suspect?" Zhuang Mingxu felt his breathing tighten. He hadn't felt this way in many years.
Zhao Gang did not answer directly, but asked, "What do you think of this master who suddenly appeared in the Mountain God Base?"
Zhuang Mingxu looked at him with burning eyes. Neither of them said anything, but they had already answered some questions tacitly.
"I think... this person's identity is very suspicious." There are so many people with special abilities who believe in the White Deer in the Mountain God Base, but it does not contact them. Instead, it lets an ordinary person take care of them closely, and even assumes that he can dispatch all the teams with special abilities.
This is no longer just trust, it can be called reliance.
Rather than believing in the so-called fate between them, Zhuang Mingxu would rather believe that there is either a vested interest between them, or they have known each other for a long time. Otherwise, how can an ordinary person gain a foothold among people with superpowers by relying on training in the direction of cultivating superpowers?
Then why has he been busy for so many years?
"Yes, it's very suspicious. He suddenly appeared and was inexplicably reused..." Zhao Gang repeated Zhuang Mingxu's words, "More importantly, after the explosion, we wanted to take the murderer's body away, but he tried his best to stop us."
"And I saw in him the unique soil of the lower classes at that time."
He suspected that Qi Le was the one who dragged him along in the beginning.
Zhuang Mingxu's eyes suddenly widened, "But isn't he an ordinary person?"
Even if an ordinary person has good physical training, without the blessing of super powers, it is not easy to drag an adult man without being caught up by a superpower.
"Are you sure he is just an ordinary person?" Zhao Gang asked doubtfully.
"OK." Zhou He's voice came from outside the door. He waved to the person on guard at the gate, entered the ward, and after checking Zhao Lei's condition, he said to Zhuang Mingxu, "I just saw Taotao looking for you."
"Then I'll go and take a look," Zhuang Mingxu stood up and said to Zhao Gang, "I'll come to see you another day."
"Two thunders..."
"The military doctor is already in consultation, don't worry."
After Zhou He finished speaking to Zhao Gang, he followed Zhuang Mingxu out of the ward. After walking quite a distance, Zhuang Mingxu looked at Zhou He and asked, "Just woke up?"
"Well, let's go and find a quiet place."
Zhuang Mingxu directly brought people to a place not far from Lu Weiyi. Patrols usually don’t approach here, so it is indeed the safest place.
"I have tested Qi Le with an energy detector, and there is no supernatural fluctuation in his body," Zhou He said, "but he must have other abilities."
After Zhou He told Zhuang Mingxu about the hollowed-out mountain at the Shanshen Base training ground, he concluded, "I've seen their training progress on the surface, and it's indeed progressing step by step, but it's not to the point where they can start training. I suspect the final training should be in the mountain, and..."
"Those children with special abilities have respect and admiration for Qi Le, but they are more afraid of him." Zhou He recalled Qi Le's displeasure after Li Jing exposed Pang Qin for having helped sugarcane grow. At that time, Li Jing was worried that Pang Qin's fear of being punished did not seem fake.
"It's a pity that the layout there is strange, and my supernatural power can't penetrate it, so I can't know what's inside," Zhou He regretted.
"It's okay. My own safety is the most important thing." Zhuang Mingxu thought of the underground of the Mountain God Base that Guan Wei mentioned. "Is their entire underground layer made of cement?"
"Almost. Maybe some parts of the initial entry into the base are not included."
"In other words, if what Zhao Gang said is true, and the person who did the action was indeed replaced, it makes sense and even has the conditions to be implemented," Zhuang Mingxu said slowly as he thought.
Zhou He shook his head, "I don't know the specific situation at that time. After I came back from hunting, I heard that they were caught. Then Qi Le came and almost wanted to force the matter to an end. I felt something was wrong in my heart, and decided not to care about it and return immediately."
"He is indeed anxious," Zhuang Mingxu shook his head. "No matter what the truth is, it is inseparable from the Shanshen Base. The top leaders of the Shanshen Base cannot be unaware of the fact that the entire base is covered with a layer of cement. In this case, the people who switched the bodies are either the murderer himself, or..."
“Just the participants.”
"I thought the same thing at the time. I was so worried that my teammates would be silenced that I didn't dare sleep at all." This trip was the most difficult mission Zhou He had ever gone through since the end of the world. Even after returning safely, he was still scared.
"I just can't understand why they targeted Zhao Gang. Even though he is the highest level among us, but... looking at his face, isn't he afraid of becoming a zombie if he eats it?"
Zhou He looked at Zhuang Mingxu, "No matter how you look at it, I, a high-level fire-type psychic who has upgraded naturally, should be the first choice, right?"
Zhuang Mingxu heard his narcissistic laugh and lowered his eyes, stroking his fingers.
"Don't laugh. Don't you think I'm not telling the truth?" Zhou He slapped him and asked seriously.
"How can you be sure that they brought Zhao Gang back for food? What if he has other uses? For example... he has a unique property that you all have..."
Zhuang Mingxu spoke in a light tone, as if he was giving silent guidance or clearing away a thick fog.
Unique situation...
Zhao Gang's face flashed through Zhou He's mind, and he turned his head to look at Zhuang Mingxu, "What are the changes in his body?"
