Chapter 714: The Evil of Human Nature
When Wu Yue and Lu Weiyi arrived at the agreed location, Zhao Gang and Qu Zhu had been waiting for a while. Seeing the unique smell of zombies on the two of them, they looked over curiously.
"I've found a training ground for you." Wu Yue didn't say much, but Qu Zhu and the others already knew that they would improve their abilities as much as possible before leaving, and they instantly understood what the other party meant.
They knew that hard times might be coming, but when they thought that their superpowers would grow longer, everyone's faces showed excitement.
"They went in to investigate the situation, and sure enough, there were reports that something had happened to the high-level psychics in the base. Some people have already started making small moves, while others are afraid of their strength and don't dare to do anything too reckless. However, the atmosphere in the entire base..." Zhao Gang didn't continue.
He had seen cruel people before, but he wasn't sure if the innocent-looking young master in front of him could accept it.
Hua Rui and Wang Bing had obviously heard something, but Guan Wei, Qu Zhu and his group firmly stated that they were not allowed to go in first before Lu Weiyi came. They were worried about being punished later, so they could only wait.
"Captain Lu, can we go in?" Hua Rui asked anxiously.
"Wait a moment," Lu Weiyi said as he took a step forward. The supernatural power that had just been replenished spread out of his body, like a sphere covering the entire Panshui base area.
The half circle above and below ground completely eliminated the possibility of someone sneaking away.
Wang Xi, who was free from all worries, was unusually absent-minded. It was unknown what kind of raw animal he had eaten. As he chewed, a trace of blood oozed from his lips. When he opened his mouth to lick it, it was stained with brighter red blood. He stepped forward and touched the mental barrier, from a light touch at the beginning to a strong one. When he found that it still did not penetrate, his face gradually showed excitement.
"What is this?" As he spoke, one could clearly see that his teeth were all bright red, which made his already stiff face look even more like a living person, causing Guan Wei and the others to look away in disgust.
"What did you eat?" Lu Weiyi didn't answer him but asked back.
"Human?" Wang Xi asked provocatively, raising his eyebrows as if to say, what can you do to me?
Lu Weiyi knew that the person who allowed him to do so openly could not be human flesh, and he could only be trying to disgust other people. He ignored him and said, "After you go in, you can do what you want, and we will take a look at the situation first."
As he spoke, his gaze swept over several other psychics under Zhao Gang's command, depriving them of their own jade space.
The dissatisfaction of others was suppressed, and Wang Xi immediately got angry, "Why do you take away my space?"
"Why do you say that? Aren't you too clear about your own identity?" Yun Bai shook the scimitar in his hand and looked at him with a smile, the contempt in his eyes undisguised.
"Do you f*cking want to fight? You're not even up to par with my level." Wang Xi was instantly enraged, and showed signs of being eager to try, waiting for Yun Bai to agree and start the fight immediately.
"Is he not mentally healthy?" Yun Bai asked Zhao Gang. This was not called being stunned, it was called being stupid.
Zhao Gang opened his mouth but said nothing. On the other side, Lu Weiyi, who had made sure that no one was left out, pulled the group of people directly into the barrier.
Hua Rui didn't even bother to study what this thing was. She just said hello and turned around to run into the base. Wang Bing also nodded and left. Seeing that Lu Weiyi didn't say anything, the rest of the people didn't ask either.
A few minutes later, only Zhao Gang and Yuebanwan members were left. Qu Zhu looked around and asked, "Should we split into two groups?"
"It's better not to," Zhao Gang commented, "There are generally no people with low abilities among the psychics in the Panshui base, and they live in a life of slaughter, so they can only use their abilities more flexibly."
Compared with these people with bottom lines, they are no match at all.
"Then let's go together," Lu Weiyi said, motioning Zhao Gang to lead the way, and a group of people walked in without any cover.
Yun Bai fiddled with the scimitar in his hand and asked Lu Weiyi with great interest, "What should we do with the people here?"
"You make me feel not like a soldier, but a murderer," Lu Weiyi commented on him.
Yun Bai laughed loudly, "Times make heroes. Don't worry, base commander, I will follow your orders completely."
"Let's take a look at the situation here first." Lu Weiyi didn't want to judge the life or death of others. In his opinion, everyone is a small person struggling hard, and there is no difference.
The whole city became increasingly depressed. Unlike other bases, there were no shops or markets on the streets here. Instead, there was wanton indulgence. Casinos and entertainment venues were openly open. Naked men, women and even children with collars around their necks knelt beside their "masters", and were occasionally kicked over, looking terrified and humbled.
It has been just over a month since Qu Zhu and his party last came here. Most of them have completely lost their human appearance, with stiff skin and shriveled faces. Occasionally, when they get too excited, they will simply pull the person next to them and take a bite, tearing off a piece of meat like livestock and chewing it with big mouthfuls. Blood drips from the corners of their mouths, mixed with the sound of their laughter, like evil spirits visiting the market.
Occasionally, a mutant bird would fly over the sky, tearing off a piece of flesh and blood and throwing it into the air, with blood splattering everywhere. This was a carnival based on life.
In the excitement, some people directly pulled up the kneeling people and started to exercise. Regardless of gender, they lost their sense of shame and performed moaning and debauchery openly.
Zhao Gang led a group of people to shuttle through the crowd. At first, some people were still talking, but gradually everyone fell silent. They were like people who had entered hell and were soon targeted by the people here. However, everyone just watched with the greedy eyes of someone who saw a good prey, waiting for someone to make a move and then rush forward.
"This is just the outskirts. Maybe it will be better inside?" Zhao Gang asked Lu Weiyi tentatively.
"Let's go," Lu Weiyi said, looking at Wu Yue, "They have eaten too much flesh and blood of people with special abilities, and the energy in their bodies is chaotic. They can't even find the energy that originally belonged to them. This chaotic energy will affect muscle texture and cause external changes."
As he finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhao Gang unconsciously. Zhao Gang said frankly and bitterly, "I woke up late. People here must have strength before they can have a bottom line..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a girl who looked only eleven or twelve years old, naked, ran towards them with a terrified look on her face, shouting for help, brother.
A few burly men were chasing after me with knives in their hands, swearing and cursing. The fat on their bellies bounced as they ran, giving me the feeling of a fat chef before the apocalypse. But in this world, fat people are rarely seen.
"Brother, help me!" the little girl shouted, and threw herself towards the psychic closest to her.
Reflexively, the psychic closest to him put away his outward-pointing scimitar and tried to pull her back, but then he heard Zhao Gang yell, "Don't touch her!"
Then a water barrier appeared between the two of them, sending the little girl crashing to the ground before she could hit him.
While several people were staring in amazement, Zhao Gangren had already appeared next to the little girl and pointed at the mottled warts on the girl's lower body that were as protruding as cauliflower and said, "This is a symptom of late-stage syphilis. If she scratches your skin, you will most likely be infected."
"I didn't, I just wanted to..." The little girl cried and tried to pull Zhao Gang's thigh, but he kicked her out. She looked directly at the big men behind her who had stopped chasing her.
"Is it because I didn't come here to take the people away, but I want to wait and deal with you together?"
"Brother, I really didn't do it. Please save me. I'm only twelve years old. I don't want to go back with them..." The little girl crawled towards the psychic who had been soft-hearted before.
This time Zhao Gang did not stop him.
"Base commander, this..." The man looked at Lu Weiyi.
Just as he turned to speak to Lu Weiyi, the little girl on the ground suddenly jumped up, and a bloody ice cone appeared in her hand and stabbed towards the man.
Several people around her who reacted quickly took action, and all kinds of supernatural powers shot towards the little girl. In an instant, she was nailed to the ground. Her arms and legs were covered with ice spikes, earth spikes, and even metal knives. The blood that splashed from the pierced blood vessels was blocked by the water curtain and sprayed back on her face.
The mutant she attacked looked at her in surprise, "There is no hatred between us, you..."
"Haha..." The little girl twitched in pain, but still laughed, "Where did you come from, you idiot? How can you be so naive to say such things."
The childish voice sounded like a silver bell, but the words it said were completely different, "If we are going to hell, we must all go together."
She said in a delicate and pretentious voice, with a sense of experience that was totally inconsistent with her age, and suddenly she spoke viciously, "Why can you live well?"
“…”
No one could answer this question. Several men who were chasing after them from a distance watched the scene in silence and did not get close. Countless eyes around were paying attention to the situation here, either implicitly or openly.
"Let's go," said Zhao Gang.
Lu Weiyi left first, followed closely by the others.
As soon as they left, they saw the people around them running quickly towards the little girl, pushing and shoving each other as if they were fighting for something.
A moment later, the little girl's shrill screams were heard behind her, and the men who had been chasing her quickly turned around and left, without any intention of going in to take a look.
"Don't take anyone lightly. There are very few ordinary people here. Most of them are people with special powers. They face the fate of either eating others or being eaten every day. It's only a matter of time before they become mentally abnormal in such an environment," Zhao Gang said to the people who stopped and pointed at the burly men who left.
"They should be in the same group. Someone once told me this as a joke, saying that girls used their beauty to fish, and the people they caught were shared among them. Now it seems that the people who are caught have changed to children."
“Syphilis can be transmitted through blood, but they are not afraid…” Wu Yue looked at those people not far away who were eating without any scruples, and suppressed himself so hard that he did not vomit on the spot.
"What is there to be afraid of that thing that's neither human nor ghost?" Zhao Gang asked with a sneer.
A hundred meters later, the people who had rushed forward from behind had gradually dispersed, and only an incomplete skeleton was left on the ground. Small mutant birds were hovering in the sky, calling out to their friends and starting the second round of enjoyment.
