Chapter 734: Mutated Cat Group
"Okay." Seeing that no one else had any objection, Zhuang Mingxu looked at Zhou He and said, "You can continue to upgrade with the members who have not been upgraded."
"yes!"
"Wu Yue, Captain Lu is going to the depths of Lao Mountain to find more mutant birds in order to form a mutant bird team and prepare for our return. You go with him."
Wu Yue had never heard of this before. He was stunned for a moment after hearing it, but still nodded obediently and said, "Okay."
"I will be responsible for guarding this place, you..."
Before Zhuang Mingxu finished his words, he noticed that Lu Weiyi was frowning and was about to speak. He grabbed Lu Weiyi's hand under the table and stopped him from speaking, "Let's work together and make the final sprint to return to the base."
The meeting tasks were assigned and the group turned around to leave. As soon as they disappeared, Lu Weiyi's voice rang out again, "I don't agree with you being here, you come back with me first."
Zhuang Mingxu shook his head, took his hand and explained seriously, "The emotions of Zhao Gang's men are still unstable. We can't let them know that you may leave here and go thousands of miles away. If someone has second thoughts by then, the people here will not be their match. My being here is like an empty city plan, which can stabilize everyone."
"Secondly, Fangtang and the others now seem to be completely obedient to us, but that is on the premise that they can still see hope in us. If they knew that you were gone, it would likely trigger some extreme and unnecessary things."
"Finally, we are not sure about the current situation of the base. It is best for you and Wu Yue to return. After all, the situation was complicated when we left last year. Anything can happen in a winter..."
"If there are so many of them and they can't even defend a base, there will be no peace in the future," Lu Weiyi said viciously.
Knowing that he agreed with what he said, Zhuang Mingxu smiled and said, "Yes, let's go back and take a look. If they are bullied, we will have to train them to death in the future."
"But we can't feel at ease while you're here." Wu Yue's voice came from underground, and then a hole appeared on the ground that could just accommodate two people. Wu Yue and Zhou He slowly floated up from it until they stood on the ground.
"Yes, otherwise I will stay in the base. Qu Zhu, Guan Wei and the others have successfully upgraded, so there is no problem for them to lead the team," Zhou He agreed.
"Okay," Lu Weiyi nodded immediately.
"It's not that troublesome. Tomorrow morning, the two of you will ride on the peacock and leave. According to its flying speed, you should be able to reach the base in three days at most. At the current Mountain God Base, they dare not have any second thoughts in three days," Zhuang Mingxu said in a firm tone.
That being said, there is still a lot of worry. Lu Weiyi looked at the map, thought for a while and asked, "Can we transfer to Jin Province or Anjiang Base? It's on the way back, just a few dozen kilometers. If we can try to contact the base through them..."
"No!" the three people in front of him stopped him in unison.
Seeing that Lu Weiyi was puzzled, Zhuang Mingxu explained, "If it's a nationwide disconnection, they must have guessed the situation here. There's no need for you to seek help, especially since you're about to return."
"If not, your going there would be tantamount to revealing our situation to them and increasing the danger here. Every base that can survive must have its own secret weapons. No one can guarantee that no one will take action here."
"Yes, it would be best if we return quietly without anyone noticing, so that we can secretly find out the situation of the base," Wu Yue agreed.
Lu Weiyi's consideration of things was indeed not as comprehensive as Zhuang Mingxu's. He knew his own weaknesses and would not go against them at this time. Unable to think of a better way, he could only nod in agreement.
Early the next morning, not long after Zhao Gang left with his team, Qu Zhu and Guan Wei also left. The mutant orchid that had followed Lu Weiyi before fell into Qu Zhu's hands before she could wait for the duel with several wood-type mutants. It was only because the little orchid knew Qu Zhu and knew that she had no choice, so she chose someone she was more familiar with. As a result, Qu Zhu was severely beaten up by a group of wood-type mutants. The wounds on his face had not healed yet, but looking at his smug face, you could tell that he still got the upper hand.
After seeing everyone off, Lu Weiyi and Wu Yue were ready to set off.
"Let Taotao follow you. You can train it when you have nothing to do." Lu Weiyi raised his chin towards the mutant little tiger that was circling around them. It had quietly risen to the S-level before, and this time it was impacted by the energy of the mutant snake that Lu Weiyi put into the space, and directly entered the intermediate level. If it absorbed more in a short period of time, it would probably explode directly. Lu Weiyi could only put it outside the space.
Although Taotao's energy is limited now, it is not a problem for her to take Zhuang Mingxu into space to hide at the critical moment.
"I will take good care of the child, don't worry about him." Zhuang Mingxu put away the several jade spaces that Lu Weiyi had stuffed into his hands, and urged the two to hurry up and leave.
After all the necessary protections were arranged, Lu Weiyi only promised to come back as soon as possible, and walked towards the back mountain of the Mountain God Base with Wu Yue.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, they did not head directly northeast of the Yuebanwan base, but instead entered the Laoshan peak measuring area in the north.
After crossing a mountain and making sure they would not be followed, they climbed on the mutant peacock's back and directed it to fly due east.
The entire Lao Mountain is surrounded by clouds in the early morning, like a fairy island isolated from the world. From afar, you can see the top of the mountain reaching into the clouds, which is really dreamy.
As soon as the two left Laoshan, they were attacked by mutated birds. The diverse ecological environment gave rise to an endless variety of mutated bird species here, and their colorful feathers were dazzling to the eyes.
At first, Lu Weiyi wanted to use these feathers as a gift for Zhuang Aiyi, but after looking at them endlessly, his eyes became dull.
After being trapped repeatedly without any connection, Wu Yue suggested, "How about you hold up the mental barrier and we try to hurry on as much as possible?"
"Yes~~~~"
As they suddenly fell, Lu Weiyi and Wu Yue felt that they were still in mid-air, but their mounts were already sliding towards the ground in an extremely steep arc, which made their voices tremble.
"Attacked?" Wu Yue tried to calm himself down and think about whether there were any omissions in their protection of Peacock.
"Ga ga ga--" the voice of the mutant peacock sounded.
"Why didn't you say it earlier--!" Lu Weiyi responded angrily.
"What's wrong?" Wu Yue asked hurriedly as he saw them getting closer and closer to the ground.
"Ga ga ga--" He could hear the grievance in Phoenix's voice.
"It said they can't fly for a long time!" Lu Weiyi was in tears.
"..." Wu Yue was also choked. He thought about it carefully and realized that peacocks really couldn't fly for a long time. They seemed to be a gliding species.
But after the mutation, they had seen the peacock flying in the air and fighting with mutated plants or animals a few times, which made them ignore this situation.
"Did you do that on purpose?"
"You are so stupid."
The unexpected mutant peacock almost disrupted all their plans. Lu Weiyi was furious and suddenly stopped chattering. He asked if the phoenix in the consciousness area was also a sprinter.
After receiving a negative answer from the other party, Lu Weiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief - they needed to return to the base as quickly as possible.
After a few years of the end of the world, all places without people have been completely deserted. Now, all you can see on the ground are dense grass, tall trees, and a variety of animals. Without humans, the most primitive ecology has been completely restored here.
Although the Phoenix could not fly, it had no problem gliding and landing, and the two people and the bird landed smoothly in a bush that was one person tall.
The moment he landed, something almost as tall as a person suddenly jumped up from the ground - a cat!
That's right, a mutated cat.
If they were not quite familiar with cats, just based on the size and attack speed, one might think they had encountered a cheetah. Even though the mutant peacock was of a high level, it was unable to escape the siege of a circle of mutant cats.
Especially since they had been hiding quietly in the deep weeds before, with their superb concealment skills, neither the two men nor the bird could detect their presence.
A group of mutant cats cooperated well. The three in the front attacked the peacock's head, the sides attacked Lu Weiyi and Wu Yue respectively, and the ones behind attacked the peacock's wings.
The ones blocking the front didn't seem to have any special powers. They used their body flexibility to attack at close range. Even though the peacock pecked fiercely and avoided the fatal parts, it was still scratched by the cat's claws and bled.
The mutant cat behind him is smaller in comparison, but he can skillfully use his supernatural powers to attack the peacock's wings.
They had seen people use ice picks and earth picks, but this was the first time they saw a group of cats skillfully commanding them to attack the weak points of a peacock's wings.
"quack--"
While Lu Weiyi was observing the opponent, he only used his mental power to defend himself and did not start an attack. Peacock was furious and wanted to use his supernatural power to wake him up.
"Don't use it, don't use it," Lu Weiyi said hurriedly. Once his flame came out, he and Wu Yue would be the first to get hurt.
He quickly used his mental barrier to protect the two people and the bird. His sudden disappearance made the cats stunned, but their keen sense of smell let them know that the person was still there.
After only a moment's pause, they launched their attack again.
"So you don't like animals," Lu Weiyi muttered.
If it were humans, they would definitely not continue to pester the predator and would be more cautious. However, the sense of smell of animals gives them countless points. Even if they are confused by vision, they still cannot give up. What's more, some animals do not rely on vision to hunt.
"They look well-organized and disciplined. Either they have a unified command or they have cooperated with each other countless times." Wu Yue observed the cooperation between the mutant cats. "Should we go to their nest and take a look?"
