Chapter 732: The Person Who Takes Action
"Let's contact Mingxu to use the rocket launcher?" Wu Yue tried his best to control the movement of the ground under his feet to ensure that the people who were about to upgrade would not be affected. "Have you collected all the crystal cores on the ground?"
"Most of it." Lu Weiyi's mental power was still observing the situation over there, and he did not respond to Wu Yue's words.
When Zhuang Mingxu left, Ning Yuan brought him a lot of weapons, but the situation at the base was obviously bad at the time, so he could only take a limited amount. After that, there were endless accidents throughout the winter, resulting in huge consumption.
There are really not many weapons they can use now. In principle, crystal core weapons can be used as long as there is crystal core energy. In fact, the life of the energy converter is limited, and the gun body and barrel require professional maintenance, so the number of times they can use them is really limited.
Lu Weiyi hopes that these can be saved for times when it is absolutely necessary.
"Contact Zhuang Mingxu and have the team ready to evacuate at any time." This place is sparsely populated, and even if high-level zombies appear, they will most likely not hinder them. Lu Weiyi decided to give up this place.
This place was chosen originally for the purpose of allowing Zhou He and his team to upgrade. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to make excessive expenditures.
"Okay." Wu Yue brought the few people to the outskirts of the base as quickly as possible. The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds and trees, and small mutant creatures could be seen flying by from time to time.
It was hard to feel at ease using such a wild environment for upgrading, but if he was distracted or disturbed, accidents might happen during the upgrade, but he no longer had time to choose a suitable place.
"Let's do it here." Lu Weiyi also saw that Zhou He and others were trying their best to suppress the situation, "Tear up the ground."
Wu Yue half-knelt on the ground with one hand pressed on the ground. The land centered on him was like a spoon scooping ice cream. The flat layer and the plants growing on it rolled away to the surroundings, leaving only a bare ground several hundred meters wide.
After settling Zhou He and the others, Wu Yue walked towards the forest to make sure no living creatures would rashly enter.
Just as he turned around, Zhou He's painful voice rang out, "There is too much energy in my body, and I can't control it."
"Radiate it out," Lu Weiyi said.
"I...may not be able to control it."
"I also... can't control myself anymore," Qu Zhu also spoke at this time. As he spoke, Guan Wei, Yun Bai and others nodded and looked over.
Normally, when they upgraded, they would absorb crystal cores autonomously. When they felt the energy broke through the crystal core barrier, they would stop and control the energy diffusion. While they were gathering the energy, a new crystal core barrier would have been re-formed.
However, the energy he absorbed into his body this time was not absorbed autonomously. It was already excessive, and coupled with the inappropriate location, it had been suppressed. Excessive energy was difficult to control. If so many people upgraded at the same time, the energy fluctuations would be out of control and might directly hurt those closest to them.
"Should I push them in different directions as much as possible?" Wu Yue also became anxious. The energy released during the upgrade was much stronger than the normal superpowers used. The uncontrolled superpowers of so many people were extremely dangerous.
“It’s too late”
As soon as Lu Weiyi finished speaking, he saw the energy of several people, led by Zhou He, spreading in all directions at the same time. If it was emitted by the same person, the level would be unimaginable, but it would clash with each other when it came from different people.
"Shield!" Lu Weiyi shouted loudly, and at the same time he used his supernatural power to construct countless mental barriers, blocking the people next to him from opening.
Wu Yue immediately understood what he meant, and tried his best to block the few people closest to him with the spit wall.
The energy from different directions hit the shield, instantly shattering it. Wu Yue couldn't see the condition of the mental barrier supported by Lu Weiyi, but he could see with the naked eye that his earth wall couldn't bear it.
Knowing that the energy was powerful at the moment, Wu Yue had tried his best to strengthen the earth wall. Even so, it still could not withstand the blow. The shattered earth wall was not in blocks, but directly turned into powder. It was scattered in the air like powder blown by the wind in the direction of the energy impact, immediately blocking the line of sight.
However, the flying ash allowed the group to clearly see the invisible spiritual barrier of the past. It was as strong as steel and could not let any energy pass through it. Instead, the unobstructed air became an outlet for the energy. Suddenly, several empty noises were heard in the clear sky, as deafening as artillery fire.
Several people who were hit by the energy of others fell to the ground instantly. Wu Yue's back was wet with cold sweat. He quickly rebuilt the earth wall. However, the strongest wave of impact had passed, and he saw Qian Xing's nose bleeding.
"Focus!" Lu Weiyi's scolding voice rang out, and the worried people immediately refocused their attention on themselves.
The energy was slowly recovered. Zhou He and Qu Zhu, who were the first to complete the task, immediately stood up and looked at Qian Xing, Qi Guang and others who were affected by the energy.
"How is it?" Zhou He wiped the blood from Qian Xing's ear and asked worriedly.
"It's okay." Qian Xing wiped his face and found that his nose was still bleeding. He said in a muffled voice, "It should be okay. I feel the upgrade was successful."
"I'm fine." Qi Guang, who was also affected, only had some dirt on his body, and there was no visible impact on his appearance.
"Sorry, I couldn't control myself," Wu Yue took the initiative to step forward.
"It's okay. We are prepared to be killed by the energy shock. After all, we all know the energy intensity at that time. Now that everyone has successfully upgraded, isn't this the best situation?" Zhou He patted his shoulder comfortingly and looked at Lu Weiyi, "Thank you, Base Commander."
Lu Weiyi waved his hand and looked at Qian Xing, "It's okay, the strongest wave of energy has been offset by Wu Yue's earth wall."
He comforted them in this way, but turned around and asked Zhou He to strengthen the physical fitness of the group, which immediately made the group look at Qian Xing strangely.
"I'm in good health," Qian Xing assured, patting his chest, "really good."
However, his nose was already bleeding, and after this slap, his nose was not blocked and blood dripped directly onto the ground.
"Okay, okay, you're better." Qu Zhu hurried forward to plug his nose and reminded, "Hurry up and get some ice to stop the bleeding first."
"Yes, stop the bleeding. My God, if this body continues to bleed so much, how long will it take to replenish it?"
"Captain, you must pay attention when you go back and talk to the canteen and ask them to prepare some extra nutritious meals for Lao Qian."
The chatter of several people made Qian Xing even more anxious, and the tense atmosphere from a moment ago disappeared without a trace.
Zhou He let them make a fuss and turned to Lu Weiyi, "I seemed to hear some noise coming from the base just now?"
"Explosion sound" Lu Weiyi was standing leisurely beside the mutant peacock that was curled up on the ground and was still taller than him, checking the wound on the wing in its hand.
The pain made the mutant peacock want to peck him from time to time, but he held back. When he could no longer bear it, he pecked at the ground. After a while, he pecked several big holes in the ground. His beak was covered with mud, which blocked the air holes and caused him to sneeze continuously.
Seeing that Zhou He didn't know what was going on, Lu Weiyi explained in a cheerful tone, "The zombies inside exploded."
"You can't withstand so much energy, and the zombies may not be able to withstand it either."
"Those zombies that were constantly upgrading exploded?" Wu Yue couldn't believe it.
"Yes," Lu Weiyi, who was in a good mood, said in a clear and crisp voice, "and they also blew to death all the zombies that were close to them."
"God is on our side." Zhou He and Wu Yue bumped their fists. "Are there any crystal cores? Can we go pick them up?"
"I didn't notice." Lu Weiyi was able to use his mental power to protect these people while they upgraded safely, so it was already very difficult for him to pay attention to the situation inside. How could he possibly pay attention to such a subtle thing?
"Let's go, we just upgraded, let's go practice and consolidate our superpowers." Someone immediately responded to Zhou He's opinion.
"Or don't," Wu Yue stopped him, "Have you forgotten that energy?"
He looked at Lu Weiyi, wanting to ask what was going on. After all, the mutant giant snake's body disappeared in full view of everyone. They might not be able to see the energy it had transformed into, but the thing that disappeared was real.
Lu Weiyi briefly talked about the mutated creatures after the SSS level, "I'm not too sure about the details, this is the second time I've seen it."
I originally wanted to test whether it would be useful for their upgrade, and now I have accidentally put it into practice, but the power is really too great.
This was the first time that Lu Weiyi saw a zombie explode because of a rapid upgrade, which showed that the upgrade had to be done step by step.
The crisis was temporarily resolved and the group returned to their temporary resting place. Zhuang Mingxu was very happy to see that they had successfully upgraded, but there were still some issues that had not been resolved: "It was Liu Run who detonated the bomb in the mutant snake's body."
Liu Run was the other military doctor who carried the controller. He had accompanied Sun Cheng to perform surgery on the mutant snake.
"Why did he do this? The snake has obviously started to serve us?" Zhou He was puzzled. They could have gained something without any effort this time, but because of the unexpected sudden attack of the mutant snake, two comrades were crushed to death by the mutant snake, and more than 40 people were injured. These were all unnecessary losses.
"It should be because of his uncle," Sun Cheng came forward to explain.
Although Sun Cheng was the military doctor of Zhou He's direct team, he was in frequent contact with the military doctors of various teams and knew a lot of situations.
"When the mutant snake attacked our base, his uncle lured the mutant snake away himself to avoid both of them being eaten. He saw with his own eyes that uncle was swallowed by the mutant snake."
"During the operation, I installed controllers in five places. He tested one of them. After the test, he said it was invalid. I also thought it was damaged, but Mo Tiantian had already been repaired by then. Taking it out would require repairing it again..." It would be a complete waste of Mo Tiantian's ability, so they did not take it out, but chose to install a new one.
This was the best option for the situation at the time, but no one expected that he would use this for his own selfish ends.
The reason why he did not choose to take action at that time was, on the one hand, because the explosion at close range might hurt Sun Cheng and several others, and on the other hand, he was afraid that if Lu Weiyi took action, the mutant snake would not die.
