Chapter 671: Tracking
"Do you know how I determined that Luo Qi and Qi Le are the same person?" Cangcuo asked.
Wu Yue looked at him but didn't respond.
Cangcuo didn't beat around the bush and said, "I saw Qi Le's face."
"so?"
"But he showed Luo Qi's ability at that time," Nan Xiaomi said.
At that time, she didn't want Cangcuo to be ordered around by Gu Sheng like a dog, especially since the originally sunny and upright Cangcuo had to face the torture of corpses every day, so she insisted on staying with him.
When they heard the other party's voice, the first thing that these two ordinary people thought of was to protect themselves. At that time, they just thought that it was some powerful mutant. After all, if they got close to that area on the ground, they would be attacked by the mutant plant, but the other party was unharmed.
When they noticed that the two had left, Cangcuo and Nan Xiaomo hid among the stems and leaves of the mutated plants and took a look.
Nan Xiaomo looked as if she had seen something terrifying. She closed her eyes and tried to remain calm. Cangcuo beside her held her hand.
He calmly replied, "They were covered with all kinds of small instruments that I had never seen before. They were all written in foreign languages and I didn't know how to use them."
"Qi Le kept adjusting it. The mutant plants seemed to sense something and would go to him to investigate after a while. Qi Le seemed to be teasing them deliberately. He moved very fast and flashed among the mutant plants. If he hadn't said that he had no superpowers when they were talking, I would have thought he was a speed type."
"Before he left, he pulled out a scimitar from his waist, which was wrapped around his waist like a belt. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice it at all. He acted very decisively." Cangcuo put away his memories and turned to the point, "You should have heard about the weapons that Luo Qi carried with him."
"A knife? A dagger?"
"The dagger is often used, but the knife at the waist is rarely used. I have seen it once, and it was exactly the same as what I saw on Qi Le. Moreover, he moves very fast. It is rumored that he is a speed-type mutant."
"Based on these alone, you conclude that they are the same person?"
"Do you believe so many coincidences in similarities?" Cangcuo asked back, and without waiting for his answer, he concluded, "This information is enough for you to take us away."
Wu Yue just smiled and said nothing. The four people saw that he had changed his mind, so they spoke, "Have you forgotten something, such as the true identity of the Mountain God?"
Nan Xiaomio turned her head to look at Cangcuo, and Cangcuo said bluntly, "I will tell you when we leave."
"But I can remind you in advance that the so-called mountain goddess is just playing tricks. She is not a god at all, and it is a scam that she and Luo Qi had discussed long ago."
Cangcuo was firm in his attitude, and it was obvious that he was keeping the information in exchange for their promise. Wu Yue knew that he would not get the answer even if he forced him, so he did not continue to ask. He pondered for a moment and then asked about the situation of the enlightened psychic.
"As long as you observe carefully, you can see that they choose children who are young, immature and easy to control, or people with weaknesses." Old Zhang made the same judgment as Zhuang Mingxu, with a hint of shrewdness in his brows as he spoke, "These people are easy to brainwash, manipulated, and loyal. They are the best cornerstone for the establishment of a new base."
So he didn't take Mo Tiantian's rejection to heart at all. As long as the person with weight of words made the decision, she couldn't influence anything.
Even though he had been prepared for this, Wu Yue still felt a chill in his heart when Old Zhang pointed it out. They were all organizing the existing members to create the base, and Luo Qi was directly transforming all of them into the weapons he needed, creating a kingdom that would completely obey his orders.
"What is the relationship between Qi Le and the white deer?"
“…We’ve known each other for a long time,” Cangcuo replied ambiguously.
Wu Yue immediately realized that he might know the details of their relationship, "Did they have a conflict?"
"I haven't heard of it," Cangcuo looked at the other three inquiringly. Zhang Shun, who had the most contact with people with special powers, shook his head and indicated that he was not very clear.
"Between them..." Cangcuo thought of a suitable word, "there will be no possibility of a breakup."
That means there may be minor conflicts, which can also explain the situation Zhou He encountered on his last return trip.
It also shows that the so-called mountain god is also involved in all this.
After Wu Yue asked Bai Lu's secret again and was rejected, he couldn't think of any more questions for a while. He sent the four people out. When he was near the door, he looked at Old Zhang and suddenly said, "Since the psychics can't upgrade, what does Tan Yun need so many purification crystal cores for?"
Several people shook their heads, and Zhang Shun guessed casually, "Maybe he wants to test whether the purified crystal core can be upgraded."
"Hehe" Wu Yue did not comment on whether he was right or wrong, but Cangcuo finally said, "The Lord Mountain God will not show up in a short time, and Qi Le may not let you go. I suggest you leave as soon as possible."
"Once the injuries are under control, we will leave immediately." Wu Yue did not give a definite answer, but promised, "I will definitely take you with me."
After seeing the people off, Wang Bao and Sun Cheng immediately came over, reported the condition of the wounded, and asked about what they had talked about.
There were only a few of them, so Wu Yue did not hide anything and told them everything.
"Do you think his information is reliable?" Wang Bao was hit on the head by this news and couldn't say a word. Sun Cheng found it incredible, but he still had the energy to ask back.
Wu Yue sighed and nodded, "Mingxu had made many speculations about this before, but he had no evidence. The news brought by Cangcuo and Nan Xiaomo has confirmed his original speculations."
"Moreover, they have concealed some information." Wu Yue thought of the shock in Nan Xiaomi's expression. It should be about the so-called White Deer Mountain God. Otherwise, Cangcuo would not have said so confidently that it was playing tricks.
"So, do you really think that Luo Qi and Qi Le have the people from the two bases at their disposal?" This courage alone is enough to shock people, especially when Wang Bao heard that the other party was just an ordinary person. He looked dazed, "I thought it was amazing that an ordinary person like our base chief dared to stand up and rule the base."
"I didn't expect there would be such a big shot in such a place."
"Now I'm not sure where he got the means to shock everyone."
Wu Yue thought more than they did. Among all the bases in the country, Yuebanwan's various research projects were well-known to be at the forefront. They had come this far because of Lu Weiyi, a man with both strength and space, who strongly supported various research equipment.
Where did Qi Le get that thing from...
Thinking of the foreign language on the instrument that Cangcuo mentioned, Wu Yue's bad premonition became stronger.
Since the end of the world, communications have been in an unstable state. This is still the case domestically, but what about internationally?
If we say that they all died, that is definitely impossible.
The more Wu Yue thought about it, the more urgent it became. "Sun Cheng, based on Mo Tiantian's current treatment progress, how long will it take us to recover?"
"At least seven days." Seeing Wu Yue frowning, Sun Cheng explained, "For dying patients, her special power can only save three at a time, and she can absorb a maximum of twenty crystal cores. If there are more, she will show signs of discomfort and she can't force herself."
"The casualties we brought this time..." are many, and this is still the time Sun Cheng is calculating as little as possible.
"I don't know how Zhou He and the others are doing. I wonder if they have returned and heard about our situation." Wu Yue asked the two to rest, and he stayed up all night on the first night at the Mountain God Base.
In the early morning, the entire Mountain God Base was silent.
A figure was stealthily walking quickly from the outskirts of the village towards the central area.
After the upgrade, Wu Yue's control over his supernatural powers became more and more sensitive. He could clearly sense any abnormalities in every inch of land and even the walls where they lived.
Except for the patrol personnel, the people in the village had already rested. The sudden appearance of this figure seemed particularly abrupt, and Wu Yue, who was lying on his back, was immediately attracted to it.
A rather disheveled man appeared. He seemed to be in a hurry. His clothes were in a mess and even had some cuts on them. He staggered as if he was extremely tired, but he never stopped.
Wu Yue's ability always followed the other party. He saw him hiding in inconspicuous corners and avoiding the villages in the village. However, after arriving at the next village, he was still able to accurately avoid patrols.
This is a bit intriguing.
Wu Yue landed lightly, gave a few words of advice to the others who were also on guard, and followed carefully.
The body sank into the ground, with only the head moving on the ground. In this dark canyon night, one could not detect anything unless they got close.
Wu Yue followed the man from a distance, watching him accurately avoid the patrols of one village after another. He became more and more suspicious of this man's identity. It was not until the layout of the surrounding buildings became different from that of the village that Wu Yue felt that his special abilities seemed to be restricted.
He stopped and hid in the dark, using his special powers to explore the ground below. About 20 meters deep, he found a cement-like ground extending all around. This kind of thing only appeared nearby.
This should be the central area that Zhou He mentioned.
Knowing what kind of people live nearby, Wu Yue didn't act rashly.
Even though he had been upgraded, he did not dare to act recklessly in an environment surrounded by so many high-level psychics, and the man he followed also had no intention of entering.
He circled twice and disappeared from sight.
Wu Yue waited for a long time before getting closer, and felt that the ground under his feet was different from elsewhere - the ground here was exactly the same as the cement layer underground.
Wu Yue's supernatural power had been suppressed to begin with, so when he probed into the cement layer, he did not get stuck as Guan Wei said, but the feeling of being weakened again was extremely clear.
If his ability was SS-level outside the central area before, then his ability in the environment here was at least one level lower, and when he was in close contact with this layer of cement and could not even reach B-level to penetrate it.
Wu Yue was not sure for a moment whether this layer of cement made of unknown raw materials could block the supernatural powers, or whether there was something mixed in it.
The other party's situation was unclear, and it would be unwise to follow them, especially since they had many wounded. Wu Yue did not rush in. After memorizing the location, he controlled his supernatural powers and slowly followed the man's steps.
The passage was as long and dark as a tomb passage, but fortunately there were dim wall lamps hanging on the walls on both sides, so one could vaguely see the road under one's feet.
