Chapter 696: Internal Support
"You didn't recognize the wrong person?"
Without waiting for Wang Bao to speak, Ji Zheng pointed at the child who was held on his shoulder with half of his fair face exposed. His dark eyes looked at the two of them curiously. The child burped and a drop of milk from the corner of his mouth seeped into Lu Weiyi's clothes.
He really couldn't accept that the legendary person would be like this.
Wang Bao glared at him, pushed him away, followed Lu Weiyi briskly, and asked what the plan was and what he needed to do.
"Wait a minute." As soon as Lu Weiyi finished speaking, he heard the sound of trees being pushed aside in the jungle, and then the figure of an adult man appeared in his sight.
"Captain Zhuang! Why are you here?" Wang Bao had more contact with Zhuang Mingxu, and seeing that he was alone, he immediately looked around.
"I came here with Xiaoyi." Zhuang Mingxu didn't say anything specific, but Wang Bao also realized that something might have happened in the temporary base. Lu Weiyi was here alone, and he might have come to rescue them, but when the temporary base was in danger of being attacked, Zhuang Mingxu came with him. So...
"Our base..." Wang Bao looked at the two of them.
"It's okay, they have made peace with Zhou He." With Ji Zheng, an outsider, present, Zhuang Mingxu did not elaborate. He just explained and turned his head to greet Ji Zheng.
After some pleasantries, Zhuang Mingxu asked Wang Bao, "Do you know any healing psychics in their base?"
"I know her, Mo Tiantian, twelve years old, and has been at our base every day these days."
"Let's ask him to come out and help with the writing first." Zhuang Mingxu spoke of the kidnapping in a very subtle way, and Ji Zheng's mouth twitched when he heard it.
He was not sure whether they would attack Mo Tiantian. After all, a healing person is more useful alive than dead. However, he still reminded them, "She has a grandfather who depends on her for life. He is an old Chinese doctor."
"According to the methods I discovered that Qi Le uses to control people, her grandfather should also be under Qi Le's control."
If we take the little girl away alone and leave the old man alone, I'm afraid that madman Qi Le will directly target the old man in order to save the day.
"Then take the old man away with you," Zhuang Mingxu looked at Lu Weiyi inquiringly, "We are also in need of a doctor."
"Can".
In order to avoid exposing the Phoenix too much, Lu Weiyi did not let it wander around, but went to the entrance of the Mountain God Base to look for the whereabouts of Zhou He and his group.
Not long after the four of them walked, they could already see the situation at the bottom of the mountain. "Continue forward from here and you will reach the hunting grounds of the mountain god base."
"Base commander, are we going in directly?" Wang Bao was full of fighting spirit, and his whole body was filled with the smugness of having a backer.
Zhuang Mingxu turned his gaze to Ji Zheng, "Mr. Ji, do you need to rest? This trip may be a bit dangerous and we may not be able to take care of you."
"Don't worry, I won't hold you back, and I know the layout of the base better, which you will definitely need." Ji Zheng was seriously injured and had been holding on. If he was with them, he could help if they ran into danger. If he were alone, he might die if he encountered a few mutant animals.
Seeing Zhuang Mingxu nod, Lu Weiyi coaxed Taotao to sleep, stuffed her back into her clothes, and walked inside with the three of them.
The hunting ground, which was usually bustling with people, was now silent. The three of them walked all the way to the entrance without seeing a single person. Wang Bao took the initiative to step forward and cleared a passage in the plant wall.
Lu Weiyi looked at the wall made of plants with a diameter of nearly half a meter in the several-meter-wide passage and asked Ji Zheng, "Is this created by a wood-type mutant?"
"Not entirely. These trees themselves were grown strong enough, and were moved here under the control of the wood-type psychic. Then they were stimulated to grow using their powers." Ji Zheng said with regret. There were other people in his team who participated in this, and now that the base has been built, he didn't know what happened to those people.
When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. That's all.
"Is this the training ground for people with special abilities?" Zhuang Mingxu asked, looking at the empty space in front of him.
"Yes, usually the psychics in the base will conduct psychic training here." It was overcrowded at that time, but now there is not even a shadow of a person. In fact, due to the constant destruction by various psychics, the ground here looks like a head with alopecia, with green and black gray everywhere.
Zhuang Mingxu glanced at the mountains on both sides calmly and gestured to Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi's mental power immediately swept towards the mountain. The slight feeling of stagnation made him frown slightly, but he entered without any hindrance.
"?" Zhuang Mingxu asked silently.
"It seems like... a test bench?" Lu Weiyi asked uncertainly.
Wang Bao and Ji Zheng both looked like they had no idea what the two were talking about. Just as Zhuang Mingxu was hesitating between going in directly or going to rescue people first, a door one person wide opened in an inconspicuous corner of the mountain, and a young boy walked out.
Wang Bao and Ji Zheng took a step back at the same time. When they were thinking about how to dodge, they noticed that Lu Weiyi and Zhuang Mingxu were motionless. They looked around and stood back to his side cautiously.
"This is Fang Tang, the most powerful metal-type psychic in the Mountain God Base. It is said that his ability is only one step away from upgrading to SS level. The ability level of their entire team is similar. He is the most powerful knife in the Mountain God Base and one of Qi Le's favorite disciples."
In order to lower his voice, Wang Bao had to be very close to Lu Weiyi. The air he exhaled could spray on his ears, making Lu Weiyi feel uncomfortable and he moved aside. Zhuang Mingxu smiled and said, "You can speak normally."
Even though he was laughing, Wang Bao felt an inexplicable warning. He laughed awkwardly and distanced himself from Lu Weiyi, "He is..."
Before he could finish his words, Fang Tangziao turned around and re-entered the cave after finding nothing unusual. He was followed by a few young children, and then a group of adult men. They were all naked, with only some strange things covering their sensitive parts. They followed the children and filed out.
"That's... Zhong Ye and the others." Wang Bao saw that Lu Weiyi looked calm and explained excitedly, "They are with Captain Wu. They were originally arrested together."
"I know. Calm down first and see what's going on. What are they going to do?" As Lu Weiyi walked closer, Zhuang Mingxu comforted Wang Bao and followed him.
Wang Bao felt relieved when he saw that none of them showed any signs of injury. "The girl standing next to Fang Tang is Mo Tiantian, the healer. The other two are from Fang Tang's team. They look young and have high abilities."
After careful inspection, Zhuang Mingxu did not see Wu Yue, so he asked Ji Zheng, who had been silent, "Do you know what this place is used for?"
Ji Zheng shook his head. He had been in and out of the hunting ground so many times, but he never knew there was such an independent space here. "Qi Le is more wary of me."
As they were talking, the four of them had already approached, and they heard the leading man expressing his gratitude to Fangtang.
"No need. This place will be exposed later. You all escaped on your own. It has nothing to do with us." There was obvious uncertainty on Fang Tang's face. He seemed unsure whether his behavior was right or wrong.
"Since you are doing this, you must be denying Qi Le's behavior. You might as well take the opportunity to leave with us," the leading man advised, "The upgrade of our base commander has reached the final stage. When we came here, there were already signs of awakening. When he wakes up, everything will be turned around."
When Lu Weiyi heard them placing their hopes on him, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhuang Mingxu.
With Wang Bao beside him, Zhuang Mingxu was too embarrassed to say anything. This was definitely a "white lie" made up by Wu Yue for everyone. He pinched his fingers and motioned him to continue listening.
The youngest girl's eyes were filled with tears. "No, if we disappear, something will definitely happen to our family. Qi Le...he controls the lives of our family members."
"Uncle, I heard that your base commander is very powerful. Can you please, for today's sake, ask him to save our family in the future?"
Fang Tang and Mo Tiantian looked at several people at the same time, with undisguised hope in their eyes.
These are still children. Even if they are mature mentally, they cannot beat a few adults, which makes them less confident when they say words of affirmation to each other.
"It will be too late if we don't leave now. The entire base is under martial law now. You can only go out from the back mountain," Fang Tang said, and then reminded as if he remembered something, "However, Master Qi Le said that there are dangerous things in the back mountain, and it will be difficult for living people to pass through. You should think about it yourself."
"What is this dangerous thing?" the team leader asked anxiously.
Fang Tang shook his head. “When someone suggested chasing your comrades, Master Qi Le mentioned it and said it was unnecessary. He didn’t say what it was specifically.”
"Then how do you leave?" Mo Tiantian asked anxiously.
The team leader laughed and said, "The area ahead is under martial law. It is almost impossible to leave. We can only force our way into the back mountain. I hope the base commander will help us find rescue."
Probably knowing that this was the best option at the moment, no one spoke again. The men nodded goodbye to them, the children went back into the door, and the group ran towards the towering plant door.
But the action of covering the private parts with hands from time to time looks both obscene and eye-catching.
Lu Weiyi really didn't want to admit that this was a member of his own base.
As Wang Bao jumped for joy, he could only remove the mental barrier covering the few people.
The sudden appearance of the figure made the group pause and they instantly took a defensive posture. Then they identified the person from Wang Bao's excited voice.
"Base Commander?"
"It's the base commander!"
"When did you wake up, Base Commander?"
"Did you receive the message and come to rescue us?"
"Did Old Sun really pass our message back?"
"Base Commander, go check on Captain Wu. He was captured alone by that pervert, and the situation might not be good."
Amidst the excited voices, Lu Weiyi first threw a few sets of clothes to the people, motioning them to put them on first.
"I heard your prayers, so I hurried here," Zhuang Mingxu joked and asked about Wu Yue's whereabouts.
