Chapter 651: Mutated Pangolin
"What did he say?" Zhuang Mingxu frowned and asked Wu Yue beside him.
"I didn't hear it, but judging from the shape of his lips it seemed like..." Wu Yue thought for a moment and said puzzledly, "Sorry? Haha, I didn't notice that."
Zhuang Mingxu didn't take it to heart, but felt that the trip would be delayed again, "I wonder when they can come back?"
"Don't worry about Zhou He's work. Besides, he has taken away more than half of the S-level psychics, so it won't take long."
"I hope so." Zhuang Mingxu went back with him and asked him how he was packing his things.
"The big items have been collected, and the rest can be carried with you as burdens." It is not difficult for a psychic to carry some things on the road. "It mainly depends on the team leader. I want to see if the scope of today has been narrowed again."
"......well" Zhuang Mingxu didn't say much, "I'll go see how to place the two mutant plants. You pay more attention outside. The hurricane seems to be smaller these two days."
"knew".
On the day Zhou He left, Zhao Gang left the ward and found Zhuang Mingxu, asking him when he was leaving.
Although it has only been a few days, the other party has been able to use his supernatural powers to condense a wheelchair, which is in a state of water flow when moving and turns into solid ice when stopping. The whole person sitting on it is not affected at all. This means that he does not need anyone's help at all, and he can even take care of Zhao Lei's daily life by himself.
"We'll leave when Zhou He comes back." Zhuang Mingxu did not hide anything, "Are you in a hurry?"
"...I feel...not so good." Zhao Gang hesitated for a rare moment, he just felt more and more anxious.
"Are you worried about the safety of the journey?" Zhuang Mingxu has not been sleeping well recently. Since coming here, he knew that Lu Weiyi was right next to him, and this situation rarely happened. But recently he actually started to have dreams about various accidents that occurred along the way. In addition, the situation worsened before he even left. Zhuang Mingxu himself doubted whether the journey would be smooth.
Hearing Zhao Gang say this, he naturally attributed him to the same situation as himself.
Zhao Gang frowned, which made him look even more serious and difficult to get along with. He thought about it carefully and shook his head, "It's hard to describe the feeling, that is, I feel... we are not safe here."
"Here?" Zhuang Mingxu looked around. This underground city has already used all the new instruments invented in their base. If it is still unsafe under such circumstances, it will probably be even more dangerous on the road in the future.
However, Zhuang Mingxu still took his words to heart and said, "I will ask people to check the surrounding situation at any time. Once they return, we will set off immediately."
Zhao Gang knew that nearly 800 people had left the base and it was impossible for them to leave at this time, so he could only nod and remind him this morning.
Zhuang Mingxu did ask Wu Yue to strengthen vigilance that day, especially on the ground. ”
But I didn't expect that the first attack would come from underground.
When the buildings in the underground palace began to shake, everyone's first reaction was that an earthquake had occurred. Now everyone was no longer the ordinary people who were powerless to cope with the situation at the beginning. The earth-type ability users immediately united to gather the shaking ground together again, allowing everyone to leave quickly.
Zhuang Mingxu was holding Lu Weiyi, and in Lu Weiyi's arms was the naive Taotao - as his body shrank, he slept an unusually long time, and his IQ tended to decrease.
"Mingxu, here!" Wu Yue shouted, manipulating the ground under his feet to bring the person to his side.
"Taotao, go into your father's space. Don't come out unless your father calls you," Zhuang Mingxu whispered to Taotao, who had changed so much.
Taotao reacted and said "OK" and disappeared from sight.
As the two men landed beside Wu Yue, he felt something instantly invade his brain with a "buzz" sound, and his whole body paused.
"Fuck, Lu Weiyi, don't make trouble at this time." The familiar feeling allowed him to immediately identify that this was Lu Weiyi's mental power. Although there was no harm, he was still worried that it would lead him into some illusion. He must not be distracted at this time.
"I'll take him somewhere else." Zhuang Mingxu turned his eyes and ran towards the corner of the underground palace. Lu Weiyi's mental power coverage area was getting smaller and smaller, and this distance was enough to prevent other people from being affected.
Wu Yue did not stop them. He quickly ordered other earth-type ability users to rescue the team members. At the same time, he used his ability to probe underground to find out what was going on.
"Captain Wu, there's a big guy down there," a wood-type mutant spoke first, "a mutant animal."
"Level S, species... seems to be..." The person who spoke hesitated, not sure, "seems to be a pangolin."
"I saw its carapace."
"It's out."
"Are you sure this thing isn't a prehistoric dragon?"
“How could there be such a large pangolin?”
Amidst everyone's chatter, a hill-like figure rose from the ground, occupying most of the underground palace. As it shook, the dirt on its body fell off, and the two people who were closest to it were buried directly, and were quickly pulled out by other psychics.
Wu Yue looked at the huge monster in front of him that was more than ten meters tall, and was amazed. This thing appeared silently under their base, and they were completely unaware of it.
While the mutant animals had not yet reacted, Wu Yue quickly gestured towards Zhuang Mingxu. At this time, Lu Weiyi was already on his back, and the mental shielding helmet on his head limited his hearing, so he could not hear what everyone was discussing for a while.
Seeing Wu Yue's actions, he immediately understood what he meant. He quickly called Taotao to take out the energy jammer from the space. While opening it, he threw a shield in the direction of Wu Yue.
Wu Yue decisively distributed the power to the few people with the highest abilities around him, asked the rest to step back, and immediately rushed forward with the people with abilities.
The power of high-level psychics is extremely fast, and it is difficult to distinguish what kind of power is attacking with the naked eye. However, sparks keep flashing on the shells of the mutant animals, telling everyone that everyone is working hard.
It's a pity that no harm was caused - the pangolin's scales are like armor for its body. Before the mutation, they made lions, tigers and other predators helpless, let alone after the mutation.
The mutated pangolin reacted and just turned its head. Its long tongue instantly sucked the person into its mouth like a toad wrapping around a fly in front of it. The person was swallowed without even a scream.
This horrifying scene made many people take a step back.
The hard shell made everyone's attacks useless. The mutant animal's huge size showed its advantage at this time. Its long tail swung across the ground, and many psychics who were unable to dodge were immediately slapped away.
In a few moments, their supernatural powers were severely damaged. Zhuang Mingxu stood in the distance and watched the two sides fight. From time to time, he reminded everyone to build a passage to leave the underground and let people take the wounded away.
"Wu Yue, abdomen!" Zhuang Mingxu shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, the pangolin's tongue, which was extremely sensitive to sound, immediately stretched out towards Zhuang Mingxu.
"Run!" Wu Yue shouted.
Zhuang Mingxu leaned his whole body back and swung the long knife in his hand quickly towards the attacking tongue.
The mucus on the tongue stuck to the long knife directly. Zhuang Mingxu decisively let go and ran to the side with Lu Weiyi on his back. A pale rhizome appeared in the air. Zhuang Mingxu jumped and grabbed it. The rhizome was instantly retracted, and the two of them were lifted up to the roof of the underground palace more than ten meters high.
At this time, Wu Yue's attack had also arrived. Combined with the joint efforts of the metal-type mutants, it penetrated directly into the pangolin's soft abdomen from the ground, cutting a deep gash.
Zhuang Mingxu took the opportunity to draw the pistol from his waist and shot two bullets into the pangolin's eyes.
In pain, the pangolin let out a shrill cry, swung its tail around, and curled up its entire body into a huge ball, wrapping its head completely inside, leaving only its indestructible shell exposed.
No matter how hard Wu Yue and the rest of the psychics attacked, they couldn't break the wall open at all. Such a huge monster was huddled together in the middle of the palace.
"How are you?" Wu Yue looked at Zhuang Mingxu, who was tied to the roof of the underground palace by the roots of the plant. "Are you injured?"
"Not bad." Zhuang Mingxu checked with Lu Weiyi and didn't think he was injured. Just as he was about to let the mutant orchid let the two of them down, his body was suddenly released and he fell from a height of more than ten meters.
It happened too suddenly, and Zhuang Mingxu didn't react at all. Moreover, as an ordinary person, even if he could react faster than two people, he couldn't do anything at this height. At the last moment, he only had time to transfer the person on his back to his arms and cushion the whole person under him.
"Mingxu——" Wu Yue shouted in horror.
In order to fight against the mutated pangolin, those who were left behind were those with stronger combat capabilities. The wood elements were all outside at this time, and the few remaining ones could only watch Zhuang Mingxu fall from a high place because the time warehouse had no time to stimulate the growth of plants to help.
Wu Yue didn't bother to think, he strode towards the place where he was about to fall, and stretched out his hands to catch it.
In the last few meters, Zhuang Mingxu looked at the dim light bulb embedded above his head, and the only thing that came to his mind was regret. He regretted that he had not yet asked Lu Weiyi what his illusion was about.
Just when everyone thought there might be no hope, a very thin green branch emerged from Lu Weiyi's wrist, wrapped around Zhuang Mingxu, and threw him into the air.
It was like he fell on a trampoline and was bounced up again. Zhuang Mingxu opened his eyes in confusion, not understanding what had happened.
Just like this delay, vines created by the wood-type mutant immediately entangled the man, and after a struggle of several forces, the man finally landed safely.
"What's going on? It did it on purpose..." Wu Yue stepped forward and pulled Zhuang Mingxu up, stretched out his hand to check him, and said angrily that he was planning to let a fire-type mutant to burn the mutant plant clean.
However, Zhuang Mingxu stretched out his hand to stop his hand, raised his head and looked at the top of the underground palace with his eyes wide open, and there was a rare flash of fear in his eyes.
