Chapter 688 Rewards
While Ji Zheng was lonely and autistic, the two returned to their temporary residence in Yueban Bay.
Except for the members who were patrolling in the dark in every corner, no one in the room slept.
As soon as he entered the room, Ji Zheng noticed something was wrong, "Where are your people?"
The people Wu Yue brought were all injured, and most of them were lying down. From the outside, nothing had changed at all. However, once you walked in, you could notice that there were more than a few fewer people.
Wu Yue did not answer, but examined his body himself, "I'm an amateur, please bear with it."
"Can you at least find a military doctor for me?" Ji Zheng looked at him without much trust.
"No." All the military doctors followed Sun Cheng.
After hearing what he said, Ji Zheng had some guesses in his mind. Taking advantage of the time when Wu Yue was checking, he told him what happened tonight.
"Everyone around here is quiet, they must have been targeted first." Ji Zheng was not sure if the people around him were still alive.
"You didn't find any means?" The first thing Wu Yue thought of was the mutated lavender in the Panshui base.
Ji Zheng shook his head.
Knowing that the other party was going after Cangcuo and his group, Wu Yue was certain that Qi Le wanted to silence them. This also indirectly proved that Cangcuo and his group knew some news that he didn't want others to know. It was just a pity...
"Did you see them dead?" Wu Yue looked towards the surrounded area not far away and asked with reluctance in his voice.
"Cangcuo is no longer able to survive. Is it possible for Nan Xiaomo to leave with that body?" Ji Zheng was closer to Zhang Shun. When the other party exposed himself, he used all his supernatural powers to resist the attack. Naturally, he also saw the two figures cuddling each other behind the collapsed house.
He was embarrassed to say it, as a lonely man, he couldn't help but envy her and looked at her twice more, "If you want to know, maybe you can go find Old Zhang. He ran away with Zhang Nannan."
"You didn't interrogate him?" Wu Yue looked at Ji Zheng with extremely strange eyes, making people feel like he was looking at an idiot.
Ji Zheng had the urge to curse, but he was in the other party's hands at the moment, so he could only endure it. After a while, he gave up and said, "I control more than half of the psychics in the base."
Except for a few naturally awakened psychics like Zhang Shun who live on their own, the rest basically belong to Ji Zheng's side. Although their ability level is not the highest in the base, they won't gain much advantage if they fall out.
Ji Zheng felt that if Qi Le wanted to continue living in this base, he would not do such useless things. Naturally, he did not take what Cangcuo said seriously. Who would have known that he was a lunatic.
This means that Wu Yue has cut off another way to know that Cangcuo has hidden the news, so the only way is through Old Zhang.
"Wang Bao".
"arrive!"
"Let the brothers pack up and leave immediately in three minutes," Wu Yue ordered decisively, "I'll go look around to see if I can run into Old Zhang and his grandson. We'll meet at the entrance of the base in twenty minutes."
"Wait, you can't go there." Ji Zheng barely supported himself to stand up. "Since Qi Le has gone crazy, he will definitely come to find you. If there is no one here, why don't you just go to the entrance and block them? What's the difference between what you are doing and delivering a courier to someone's door?"
Of course Wu Yue knew this, but the entire Mountain God Base was just a long and narrow passage. Apart from the entrance, it led to the hunting ground. If Sun Cheng took the others that way, he could only attract more attention to them.
Wu Yue didn't explain these, just said that there was support outside the base.
"Where do you want to go? I'll try to get someone to give you a ride." Wu Yue looked at his body and suggested, "You need to have surgery, and it would be best if you have a healing psychic with you."
"I know." But it is definitely impossible at the moment. Seeing them running for their lives, it might be dangerous to follow. Ji Zheng shrugged his shoulders heroically and said, "Just put me in an inconspicuous place. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to survive."
Wu Yue nodded, signaling Wang Bao to just follow his instructions and send the people away, and let the rest of the people hurry up.
"Captain Wu, we will tell him the route. We are not afraid of him..." someone asked worriedly.
"If he can get more people to chase us, Sun Cheng and the others..."
"Captain Wu!"
Before Wu Yue finished speaking, a careless voice plunged the surroundings into a deathly silence.
The psychic stepped forward and saw that the area had been surrounded at some point. There were more than a dozen psychics scattered around, wearing similar robes that looked like special uniforms, which made them look particularly strange. However, the energy and pressure emanating from them were frightening.
Qi Le stood among them, without even turning on a light. In the darkness, he put his hands in his pockets and looked at the door leisurely with a relaxed smile on his face.
Wu Yue went forward to open the door but was stopped by the person next to him. He shook his head at Wu Yue and mouthed "go away" - he was the highest-ranking person, and if there was anyone who could leave at this time, it must be Wu Yue.
Wu Yue patted him on the shoulder, opened the door and walked out. He knew very well how he had been promoted to that rank. If he abandoned his comrades and ran away at this moment, every life sacrificed here would become a mountain weighing down his head, and he would never have peace for the rest of his life.
The psychic hiding in the corner of the yard fell to the ground. Wu Yue looked around and didn't see any trace of Wang Bao and Ji Zheng. Then he looked at Qi Le, "Master Qi Le, what are you doing?"
Qi Le smiled at him strangely, and after a long time he said as if the prank was over, "I caught you."
**
A small town hundreds of kilometers southwest.
The screams that had lasted for the entire day finally came to an end. There were less than two hundred people standing on the small playground.
The departure of Wu Yue and Zhou He's teams both took away a large number of earth-type ability users. The remaining people were not enough to support so many people to build an underground passage to the small town, so they could only walk on the ground.
Once out of the Laoshan area, the number of mutant animals gradually increased, and large-scale attacks occurred one after another. As night gradually fell, the speed slowed down. Fortunately, with the help of several newly recruited laborers, there was no danger.
Lu Weiyi was well aware of the supernatural powers he had left, and he kept a reserved attitude along the way, as if he was watching the performance of a few people, and did not dare to do anything himself.
Zhuang Mingxu's words "see if your people with special abilities are of any use" determined their journey as bodyguards who would work hard and never complain.
By the time they rushed to the small town as quickly as possible, it had completely become a temple of the devil.
The school playground before the end of the world was rebuilt into a temporary stop by raising the walls with earth-related supernatural powers.
On the city wall several meters high, there were figures hanging, and the zombies gathered below kept jumping and reaching out to pull, while the people restrained above were laughing and shaking constantly, like teasing dogs, but their bait was living people, their flesh and blood had been dug out, and they were dying.
The dripping blood splattered from the sky, attracting more zombies and making the zombies gathered below even more crazy.
The laughter accompanied by the roars of zombies could be heard from far away. The air was filled with the strong stench of corpses and the smell of bloody meat. The two smells intertwined, as if covering the entire city.
Guan Wei was the first to get angry when he saw this scene. He volunteered to lead a team of psychics to rescue people, but he strongly demanded that none of the instigators should be killed.
Capturing someone alive is much more difficult than killing him. Even if the hellish scene stimulated a group of psychics, the difference in numbers and strength would not bring victory.
In the end, Lu Weiyi maintained an arrogant attitude, used up the little supernatural power accumulated in his body, and forcibly suppressed all the rebels.
The people in Zhou He's own team had to stay to threaten Lu Weiyi, and their lives were not threatened. They just had some flesh and blood cut off from inconspicuous parts of their bodies. However, others were not so lucky.
Many people had their tissues removed while they were still alive, and some were even dissected alive.
After the problem of food and clothing is solved, the remaining people with special powers become their toys. Huang and gambling can be staged here at any time, and the chips are the people with special powers.
A doomsday carnival is being staged recklessly, and they can no longer be called human beings.
"I seem to understand what the golden eagle did." This was the first sentence Zhou He said when he saw Lu Weiyi.
He didn't know how long he had been forced to stare with his eyes, which were now bloodshot. He was holding the unconscious Du Wen in his arms. The man's body was covered in dirt left by the humiliation, and the clothes he draped over his body were not enough to cover anything. One could tell what had happened at a glance.
The other team members protected the two of them in the middle, and the fierceness in their eyes could devour people at any time.
"Base Commander, after you fell unconscious, I led the team to guard the entire winter." Zhou He smiled at Lu Weiyi, as calm as a lake, but Lu Weiyi could sense the madness hidden beneath the surface. He asked, "Does it count as a merit?"
“…Okay,” Lu Weiyi replied.
"Can I get a reward?" Zhou He asked.
"Can".
Zhou He looked around with his glowing eyes, bloodthirsty and scarlet, and said, "Can you hand them over to me?"
According to Wang Bing, those who were brought out here were all the psychics who emerged from the Panshui base. Along the way, Zhuang Mingxu had been discussing with him how to let these people form a psychic death squad to serve their base.
But looking at Zhou He at this moment, he couldn't say a word of refusal. These survivors were stimulated. Perhaps these demons were more useful alive, but every time they looked at these faces that had tortured them, it was a stimulation for these surviving comrades.
The result of agreeing to Zhou He's request was that screams echoed throughout the small town for a whole day. He used practical actions to illustrate what it meant to "give people a taste of their own medicine."
When night fell, there were only a few people left standing.
Zhao Gang and his five newly formed team members were assigned to hunt zombies. Lu Weiyi stayed in the only equipment room with a very distant feeling, pretending to be superior. All matters were left to Zhuang Mingxu to solve.
When night fell, Zhou He and his team members, all covered in blood, finally came back to life. After washing and changing clothes, he knocked on Lu Weiyi's door.
"Come in".
The equipment room was crowded. A bed taken out from the space took up half of the room. Lu Weiyi sat cross-legged on it. The bed was filled with crystal cores piled up around him. The layers of crystal cores made him look like he was sitting on a mountain of crystal cores.
He held Taotao, who was wrapped tightly in his arms. The child was still sleeping soundly, only whimpering occasionally, as weak as a kitten not even a month old.
