Chapter 754: Blazing Underground City
Theoretically, everyone knew that they should not be alert. After all, he was the one who had the final say in the Yuebanwan base. But now that he appeared here, they had to be on guard.
Li Zhuang saw their vigilance and alertness, but he didn't point it out directly. He looked at them with a casual attitude and a half-smile, asking, "Guess?"
"……" Several people looked at each other without saying anything, then they heard the golden eagle leading the team chuckled twice and scolded, "Fuck you, just say it directly, we guys don't have time to talk to you."
Li Zhuang looked him up and down but didn't say anything directly. He had an evil aura to him, and when his attitude was unclear, it was even harder to guess his purpose.
Seeing his shameless look, Lu Weiyi, who was waiting outside, used his mental power, which had been probing into the water curtain to check the situation, to suddenly push Li Zhuang on the back. Li Zhuang was caught off guard and staggered, almost falling in front of several people.
"Brother, it's been a long time since the New Year, there's no need to be so polite. We are all of the same generation, how can we be so polite?" Golden Eagle stepped forward and offered his hand to help the man, but Li Zhuang slapped him in the face and he stood up by himself.
"Okay, you dare to think so," Li Zhuang replied to him, and then he told the purpose, "Pang Xinghuo brought the video of them torturing Major General Lu to threaten us, so the captain and I came to check the situation."
"They are so shameless. It's been so long since the end of the world, and they are still making fake videos?"
"How dare you to torture our major general. You have no shame at all."
"You really think highly of them. Do they have the nerve to do such a thing?"
Several people were talking, but only Golden Eagle heard something wrong. He looked around and asked uncertainly, "Who did you come with?"
After being reminded of this, the other people also realized that there was something wrong in his words. They looked over silently and saw Li Zhuang smiling without saying a word.
"Long time no see." Finally, Lu Weiyi appeared and greeted him.
"Captain of the Land Base?"
"When did you come back?"
"Didn't you say something happened over there?"
Several people immediately gathered around and started asking questions.
Lu Weiyi looked at the few people closely, and the first thing he noticed was that they were all thin.
The golden eagle, which was once comparable to Antonio in Lu Weiyi's eyes in size, now looked like it had suffered a serious illness, with only a skeleton left.
Han Fei, Ai Ping and the others were also very thin and their cheeks were sunken.
"I just came back this morning. This is not the place to talk. Let's talk somewhere else. Where are you planning to go?" Lu Weiyi asked.
The golden eagle was silent for a moment and said, "I plan to go to your base."
"?" Lu Weiyi.
The golden eagle looked around, and it seemed as if it had nowhere to go. This surprised Li Zhuang for a moment that the flames of the three major pillars of Kyoto had reached such a level.
"Let's go back underground," Li Zhuang gave an excuse, then asked uncertainly, "Is it safe there?"
"Don't worry, we have cleared all the people there, there are no people from other forces." The Golden Eagle said awkwardly, "But the surrounding area is blocked by earth-type mutants. Our spiritual mutants had a hard time controlling the attention of the lowest-level person and sent us out. We want to go back..."
It's not that easy.
"Where is the entrance?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"I'll lead the way." The golden eagle knew that he could come back and bring Li Zhuang here, which must mean that he had successfully upgraded. Hearing him say that, he led the way in front.
On the way, Li Zhuang asked about Lu Xiao's situation.
After the zombie siege occurred, Yuebanwan left Kyoto, and Zhao Qiang never came back. At first, everyone speculated that something had happened to him, but when they couldn't find him, they gradually became suspicious.
The guard team also began to become unstable internally.
Having reached this position, neither Zheng Yi nor Lu Xiao could remain indifferent to the power they have gained. As one of them takes action, the power of the other also begins to gradually infiltrate into the guard team.
Everything went smoothly at the beginning. With their actions, the power of the entire Kyoto base gradually became dominated by the two companies. However, with the disappearance of Zheng Yi, everything began to change.
"Zhao Qiang is dead, Zheng Yi is missing. It is obvious to the naked eye that Lieyan is the only beneficiary. The dominance of one side immediately aroused the vigilance of all the teams. They began to suspect that all this was Lieyan's idea."
Especially since Zhao Qiang's death was related to Yuebanwan, Lieyan was almost openly in cahoots with Yuebanwan, which was no different from them doing it themselves. This made the teams in the base vaguely wary of Lieyan.
It was under such circumstances that Zhao Qiang came back.
"Did Zhao Qiang attack Lie Yan?" Li Zhuang asked.
"No," said the Golden Eagle, "As soon as Zhao Qiang came back, he started to rein in some of the Zheng family's power."
"Didn't he clean out those dishonest people in the guard team?" Lu Weiyi asked.
The golden eagle shook his head and said, "It is said that it was a punishment and they were given some difficult tasks to complete."
"Hunting zombies and mutant animals?" Li Zhuang couldn't think of anything else to do besides this.
"No, we just said that we would go to carry out the mission, and those people thought it was to hunt zombies or clean up some difficult mutant animals," Golden Eagle frowned, "but there was no action until recently."
He looked at Lu Weiyi and said, "These are the people he took with him to Yueban Bay."
Li Zhuang immediately understood what he meant, "Do you suspect that he had been planning to deal with Yuebanwan from the beginning?"
Golden Eagle didn't say yes or no. "When Zhao Qiang was upgraded once, the situation was very dangerous. The guards thought he couldn't make it and had already started to form gangs. He killed everyone before he recovered. Don't you think he treated these people too lightly this time?"
"It proves that there are more important things to do and we need to seize the opportunity." Lu Weiyi looked at a protruding villa in front of him, where at least a hundred people gathered.
"So it was really him who attacked Zheng Yi?" Li Zhuang was very suspicious. If he could still stop Zheng Yi when Zhao Qiang was injured, then they might need to re-evaluate his strength.
Golden Eagle had a look of astonishment on his face and said, "According to our spies, it was Zheng Miao and Han Chengming who did it."
"Who?" Li Zhuang thought carefully and couldn't remember which team in Kyoto had the surname Han.
At this time, several people had already arrived near the villa. Golden Eagle did not dare to continue speaking, but lowered his voice and said to Lu Weiyi, "These are basically all Zhao Qiang's loyal subordinates. The strongest psychics among those who stayed in Kyoto have all been gathered here."
The golden eagle stopped with a gloomy face, looking at the group of people in front who were talking and laughing, very lively, "At the beginning, even infrared monitors were used, and these few days..."
"It's broken," Lu Weiyi added, and took the lead to lead them towards each other.
Li Zhuang followed closely behind, and the rest of the people looked up at the Golden Eagle and asked for his opinion. The Golden Eagle did not hesitate and followed the two of them. Seeing Han Fei staring at them, he put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't cause trouble. We'll talk about it later."
Han Fei withdrew his gaze, gritted his teeth and looked indifferent, "I know the seriousness of the matter, don't worry, Captain."
The golden eagle looked at the others again, and after getting their assurances, he took a few quick steps to catch up with Lu Weiyi and the other man.
At this time, Lu Weiyi had entered the villa as if it were an empty place. There was no living room in the villa, only a barrier similar to a ticket gate, with each floor having several steps. There were sophisticated instruments on them, with lights flashing and looking like they were in working condition.
Extending all the way to the innermost part, you can see a cave opening downwards, which is so narrow that only one person can pass through.
There were about twenty psychics sitting idly nearby, eating melon seeds and chatting. They were all talking about the gossip within the guard team. They were very careful in their words, without any dirty talk or jokes that a group of men would say. He glanced around and saw another confidant of Zhao Qiang - the captain of the third team, Meng Guang.
He was sitting at the entrance, like the first barrier, looking at some documents in his hands, very busy.
"This is... treating you as criminals?" No one could tell what Li Zhuang said, but Lu Weiyi, who was familiar with him, knew that he was angry.
His reckless voice startled the other cautious people and made them look over. They then realized that no one else on the seat reacted, as if they hadn't heard him, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"...That's about it. Anyone coming out must get their consent, and must be accompanied by several people," the golden eagle smiled bitterly.
"He is an S-level earth-type mutant and has a very strong control over the surrounding land. We can't attack him by force."
Lu Weiyi stepped forward and looked at the more than three-meter-high railing at the first obstacle. He was thinking about how to get through it when Li Zhuang jumped and grabbed the top, stood there, turned around and stretched out his hand to him.
"Come on, young master."
The tone of his voice that he was sure he couldn't climb up made Lu Weiyi embarrassed, but fortunately he was not a person who cared about face, so he grabbed his arm and was lifted up by Li Zhuang.
The other six people didn't need any help at all. Seeing that they were not discovered, they quickly jumped over.
After crossing three floors using the same method, they arrived in front of Meng Guang.
The only way to pass through here is a door-like device, which is equipped with infrared monitors and energy detectors.
The golden eagle held its breath and looked at Lu Weiyi, only to see that he didn't care at all. He walked straight past the machine with a red light on without making any sound. But when he passed by Meng Guang and walked down, Meng Guang seemed to sense something.
Facing the golden eagle's joyful gaze, Lu Weiyi explained, "This machine broke down a long time ago, and the red light is just a decoration."
"This... how is it possible? We had a psychic who tried to sneak people out before, but he was detected on the spot by their instruments," Ai Ping was surprised.
"Nowadays, problems will basically arise soon after the instruments are taken out from the ground. Many protective measures are needed when using them. Instruments like theirs will definitely break down if left alone." Li Zhuang explained as he stood aside, motioning for Golden Eagle and the others to go in first, and himself to go in last.
He sneered, "We don't even dare to use it so ostentatiously. What do you think the guards have more than us?"
"It seems that we were unlucky at the beginning," sighed the golden eagle.
The underground city of flaming is more like a city inhabited by people. Different from the path leading to the warehouse in Yueban Bay, the view suddenly becomes wider after walking only a few dozen meters downwards.
