Chapter 730: City-wide Illusion
"The mutant snake is dead." Lu Weiyi felt puzzled. It was obviously powerful enough to withstand several high-voltage electric currents, and the wounds that penetrated half of its body could be alleviated after absorbing the crystal core.
Yet, it was so easy to die.
"How could this happen?" Zhuang Mingxu, who thought he was being attacked, was stunned when he heard this. He shouted outside and asked the guard.
But he saw the guard with a confused look on his face, who obviously didn't know what was going on.
Seeing that the energy was continuing to dissipate, Lu Weiyi stood up decisively and said, "Where are the healing department? Ask them to get ready to receive the wounded."
"I'll go with you?" Zhuang Mingxu followed behind him but had no intention of going forward. They were surrounded by a pile of zombies, and the best thing for him as an ordinary person was to stay here and command the troops instead of following them out and retreating.
But Lu Weiyi nodded, contrary to his usual behavior, and said, "Okay."
Zhuang Mingxu was surprised but said nothing. Before the two of them left the yard, Lu Weiyi had already released the Phoenix and assisted the people who were injured because they were too close to the giant snake while struggling.
When they reached the gate, Wu Yue was already carrying a wounded man on his back and shouting for treatment. He had opened a door in the fortress wall and ran in.
Seeing the two people walking out, Wu Yue handed the injured to the people who stayed behind and followed them closely. As soon as they went out, he immediately asked in a low voice, "The mutant snake's internal organs were blown up by the exploding controller. It wasn't you who did it, was it?"
If they wanted to kill the other party, there would be no need for Lu Weiyi to install a control area. He was clear about the situations they might encounter on the return trip. With such a powerful weapon to lead the way, they would be safer. This was also the reason why Wu Yue did not show any reaction even though he had faced the mutant snake's pursuit alone and saw his comrades being swallowed by it.
"No." Lu Weiyi's controller has always been kept in the storage space and will not be handed over to others unless absolutely necessary.
At this time, Zhuang Mingxu also understood why the other party asked him to come out together. Since the controllers were in his hands, anyone who could kill the mutant snake without him would appear very suspicious.
"There are so many injured people..." Zhuang Mingxu recalled all the possibilities in his mind, but before he could ask, he saw the zombies in the entire city running towards the mutant snake from all directions like wolves smelling prey. They passed by the three of them without stopping for a moment.
"I was just about to say...the zombies here seem to be crazy." At the moment the mutant giant snake exploded, the surrounding zombies began to run towards the mutant snake as if they were summoned. Their ferocity directly increased to a higher level. Any creature that blocked their way, whether it was a psychic or a zombie, would become their target of attack.
Wu Yue relied on his strong supernatural powers to bring out a few wounded people with great difficulty. Now, looking at the zombies that were crowded like a mountain in front of him, especially their current state that seemed to have aroused all the viciousness hidden in their bodies and they were rushing forward regardless of everything, he became more and more worried about the people inside.
What is even more worrying is that groups of mutant birds have gathered in the sky without anyone noticing. They scrambled to land on the ground from the airspace, and many of them started fighting during the crowding process, just to compete for a closer position.
“Let’s go underground, the ground is too difficult,” suggested Zhuang Mingxu.
"Let's go!" Wu Yue stomped his feet, and the land god immediately took the three of them underground. Lu Weiyi directed Wu Yue in the direction based on the location of the energy escape.
Even after death, the snake's body reflexes still exist. Zhuang Mingxu didn't dare let Lu Weiyi directly touch the snake's upper body, so he asked him to retract its lower body first.
"I'm worried that the space can't hold up," Lu Weiyi expressed his concerns, but the dissipated energy is obviously a good thing. Not only can it be felt by those with special abilities, but even zombies and mutant animals can feel it. If they don't find a way to get rid of it, no one can guarantee what will happen.
"Can you absorb it?" Zhuang Mingxu asked, "Consume first and then absorb." It might be impossible to suppress so many crazy zombies relying on other people.
Lu Weiyi understood what he meant, but...
"I can't discriminate against creatures within the coverage area," and there is a high possibility that some of their teammates have not left yet.
"You do it, and I will bring the person out. If not..." Wu Yue didn't say the rest, but his meaning was clear.
Even if you don't want to sacrifice anyone, you can't hesitate at this time.
Lu Weiyi nodded, and Zhuang Mingxu quickly stuffed a walkie-talkie into his chest pocket. Then he was sent by Wu Yue to the tail of the mutant giant snake. The moment he appeared, his mental power, wrapped in the energy that had already merged into his body, surged like a giant net. The ferocious looks of the creatures within hundreds of meters around him suddenly stiffened, and then they turned around at the same time and attacked the creatures that were still desperately crowding up from behind.
The indiscriminate control directly dispersed Lu Weiyi's mental power into thousands of silk threads, connecting in all directions with him as the center. The phoenix hovered above his head to protect his safety, and Wu Yue was also running at a high speed among the crowd, trying to transport as many comrades who had strayed into the crowd as possible to the underground.
The drastic consumption of superpowers made the mutant giant snake beside him useful. Lu Weiyi carefully sent half of it into the space, and found that it was not affected by too much fluctuation, then he quickly absorbed the rest.
Out of the corner of his eye, he realized at this moment that the mutant peacock, which had been originally fawning, was not squeezing into the middle at all. It was standing on the top of a half-collapsed high-rise building, watching this scene.
Obviously, emotions should not be visible between different species, but Lu Weiyi felt the sadness of "the cunning rabbit dies and the running dog is cooked" in it.
Lu Weiyi didn't know whether he should ask, but this kind of pure energy was hard to come by. He held a section of the mutant snake's trunk in his hand and asked Peacock for the first time, "Would you like some?"
The body of the mutant snake that had just died was still warm, and he could feel the blood dripping in his hands. In the eyes of others, this might be a very horrifying scene, but in their eyes, it was just a huge and attractive ball of energy.
“Gah!”
The hesitation in the mutant peacock's eyes lasted less than half a second. After a deafening response, it flapped its huge wings, blew aside the mutant birds that blocked its view in the air, and steadily caught the ball of food that Lu Weiyi threw up. It opened its big mouth and swallowed it all.
As the energy entered its body, the mutant peacock rushed straight into the air, and with a deafening roar, huge flames ignited around its body. It turned around and breathed out towards the zombies on the ground without them noticing.
A huge fire dragon swept by, and the zombies were instantly reduced to ashes. Except for the crystal core that fell to the ground, there was no sign of their existence.
"Captain, the mutant snake's head is still responding," Wu Yue's voice sounded anxiously, and as it rolled, it was already very close to Zhou He and his group.
But Lu Weiyi was very far away from that place. It was completely impossible for him to rescue them while he was controlling the creatures hundreds of meters in front of him.
As the mutant snake's tail was divided between Lu Weiyi and the mutant peacock, the zombies gathered here, after a period of sluggishness, began to move towards the mutant snake's upper body again.
The zombies under Lu Weiyi's control seemed to be attracted again, which made it more difficult to control them to attack other zombies, causing Lu Weiyi's control over them to become weaker and weaker.
"Xiaoyi, the level of the zombie closest to you has quickly risen to the late S-level in a short period of time, and may be upgraded again at any time." Zhuang Mingxu's voice came from the intercom on Lu Weiyi's chest.
"Now, the level of the zombies closest to the mutant snake's upper body is rising at a faster rate, and the mutant snake's energy seems to be completely absorbed by them."
Although he tried to keep his voice calm, Lu Weiyi also understood what situation he was facing.
With such a large charger, no one can guarantee how many higher-level zombies they will face in the end if they continue to delay.
There was a rustling sound from the walkie-talkie, followed by a gunshot.
"Zhuang Mingxu!".
"It's okay." Zhuang Mingxu's voice appeared behind him, and he crawled out of the ventilation duct, "Earth-type zombies are starting to move from underground."
We can't delay any longer.
"Let's take a gamble," Lu Weiyi said, "I will try my best to control them, Wu Yue, you try to save as many people as possible, and move quickly."
"Remember, don't be influenced! Don't be..."
"……film……"
"……ring……"
Lu Weiyi's voice gradually transformed into fonts like a kaleidoscope and rotated into the brain. Wu Yue could recognize what the words were, but he didn't understand what they meant.
The surroundings were covered in white, with heavy snow falling everywhere. There was only white between the sky and the earth. He remembered that he had something to do, but what was he going to do?
Wu Yue stood there in a daze. He reached out to catch a snowflake. The cold touch brought him back to his senses for a moment.
Yes, the earthquake triggered the apocalypse and zombies appeared.
This heavy snowfall is the critical period for the transformation of the superpowers, and it will be very...
"Ouch..." The pain seemed to come from the gaps between his bones. Wu Yue couldn't help but groan and fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Be patient!
If you endure it, you will survive!
If you can endure it, you will become a very powerful psychic!
Wu Yue spoke to himself intermittently, but then he heard someone urging him, "Wake up, wake up quickly, it will be too late if you don't wake up."
The sound of banging continued to be heard. The pain on his face made Wu Yue stunned for a moment. He reflexively tried to block it, "Stop hitting me, I'm awake."
With another "bang", Wu Yue's head was hit and tilted to one side. All he saw was the scene of countless zombies huddled together.
He woke up instantly and saw Zhuang Mingxu calling him in a low voice as if he was afraid of disturbing something, but he punched him in the face with all his strength.
Wu Yue wondered when he had offended him, but now was not the time to dwell on it.
Zhuang Mingxu signaled in Zhou He's direction with his eyes, and saw that Zhou He and his companions who were still desperately fighting against the zombies not far away were now rolling on the ground in pain.
The zombies that were struggling desperately in the surrounding area seemed to have been paused. They all huddled together, and some were even trembling.
The mutant snake, which had been jumping and hitting desperately, also became quiet, as if it had fallen into hibernation.
