Chapter 756: Danger in the Underground City
Zhao Qiang was the person most seriously injured in the siege of Yueban Bay except for Pang Xinghuo's base. The mental power that Lu Weiyi stimulated in his body made him suffer from the backlash of his supernatural powers at all times.
This meant that he had SS-level abilities but was unable to fully utilize them. At first, the members of the escort team still had hope for him, but after returning and seeing that the base's supplies were damaged and there was no income, their dissatisfaction with him began to gradually increase.
Antonio uncovered the truth about Zheng Miao's pregnancy on the first day of his arrival. He realized that there was no baby at all and that everything was Zhao Qiang's conspiracy. After a period of silence, Zheng Miao exploded.
As a spoiled young lady in a family, how could she allow herself to be played around like this? She thought about how Zheng Yi had warned her again and again before the wedding, and even left a way out for her on the wedding day, yet she fell into the trap so easily.
Looking at the current situation of Zheng’s army, Zheng Miao immediately regretted it.
After learning the truth about Zheng Yi's disappearance, Zheng Tongzhi seized the opportunity to unite various teams in Kyoto and prepare to attack the guard team together.
In this chaotic situation, Lieyan became their target, which made Lieyan's situation much better.
The guards were so busy with their own affairs that they naturally had no manpower to block the flames, which allowed Antonio and his group to enter smoothly.
With the support of healing abilities and supplies, Lieyan's situation was quickly alleviated.
However, Cong Qing, who temporarily took over Lu Xiao's management of the team, could not convince the others for long, especially the brigade commanders who were only cooperative partners. The matter of relocating the base could not be pushed forward at all.
"Has your base commander figured out how to evacuate the people?" Cong Qing's hair had turned a lot whiter. He was struggling to support the team as they maneuvered between the various teams. This made him look much more serious, with deep wrinkles appearing on his brows.
Antonio shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, "I just follow orders and don't care about anything else."
"He will always inform you if he has any plans, right?" Cong Qing was now confused. Lu Weiyi only gave a simple notification and didn't say a word about the specific arrangements. This made him confused, let alone convince the team.
Antonio gave him a look that said "you're overthinking it".
Cong Qing felt so angry that he was not fighting back, "There are so many people in your base, he has to give an explanation, right? You can tell me how he explains it."
He can then tell his subordinates to follow suit.
Antonio spread his hands, and seeing him pacing anxiously in front of him, he stabbed him again, "Our base has always been ruled by the base commander, and whoever doesn't obey will be abandoned. Who do we need to explain this to?"
“……”Cong Qing.
He pinched his philtrum hard to ensure that he would not die of anger.
"Calm down. For the sake of Major General Lu, the base commander will definitely leave you a way to survive." Antonio said and ignored the other party. He stood up and followed Dean who was about to go out.
Cong Qing kept pinching his brows because of the headache, but in the end he could do nothing but pray silently that Lu Xiao would come back soon.
On the other side, the test results of the first batch of psychics who passed through the space channel have come out. After comparing the data for a few days, no changes can be seen, except that their hard work day and night has made their psychics show a tendency to grow again.
Even so, they still failed to pay off their debt within three days. Lu Weiyi, who had not shown up all the time, finally showed up at the last minute.
As Li Zhuang expected, he lightly paid off the debt, which had tripled, and let them go temporarily.
Of course, the reason why it was so light was because Yueban Bay encountered extreme waves.
The weather was sunny and the temperature was rising steadily. Nothing seemed to have changed, except for the huge waves that kept coming one after another.
The wall surrounding the base had been raised to thirty meters, but it could not withstand even a few impacts from the violent waves.
The entire residential area of North Island seemed to have suffered a flood. Even though no one lives there now, broken doors and broken furniture are still scattered everywhere due to the water flow.
In order to prevent water from entering the underground city, most of the exits have to be closed, but no one can guarantee that the underground will be completely safe, so only two safety passages can be retained to prevent accidents.
These two places are strictly guarded by earth-type ability users and are constantly being raised and reinforced.
The huge waves constantly hit the beach, creating an empty echo in the underground city. Everyone has become accustomed to the buzzing vibration and it does not affect their lives at all.
However, this was Lu Weiyi's first experience. He divided the psychics coming from the Panshui base into two teams to help at the two exits, and he himself went to the ground.
Part of the city wall has collapsed. In the face of such an attack from nature, there is no point in repairing it. Standing at the highest point, one can clearly see the entire city rising with the waves. The plantations that were originally neatly cultivated are now completely untraceable.
"It's okay, we often encounter this at the beach." Ning Yuan was wearing a raincoat, but was still soaked.
He had participated in natural disaster rescue in coastal areas before the end of the world. Knowing that Lu Weiyi had never seen it, he shouted to comfort him.
"If it gets bigger, will the entire North Island be washed away?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"No!" Ning Yuan shouted.
After the North Island earthquake, the crust was squeezed to form a protruding area. The side close to the coastline is like a cliff, and the side facing the sea is sloped. Such a slope is somewhat difficult to defend against waves, but it does alleviate the impact force to a certain extent.
"In fact, coastal cities may suffer these natural disasters every year, which is not uncommon." It's just that at that time, the country was still there, and with the support of a great country, these natural disasters could not cause any big waves. But for them now, it is a problem.
"Our underground city has been reinforced by earth-type mutants. It's impossible..."
"Commander Ning, rescue! Commander Ning, rescue——"
Before Ning Yuan finished speaking, a water-based mutant came running through the streets with fast-flowing water, shouting and waving towards him.
"What is he shouting?" Ning Yuan asked while controlling the water flow to create a path for the other party to come over.
"Call for help," Lu Weiyi replied, and walked towards the soldier first, "Tell me slowly."
"Base commander, a corner of the underground city has been infiltrated by seawater. Deputy Captain Li said that it may continue to expand. If it suffers a major impact, it is likely to be broken through," the soldier grabbed Lu Weiyi's hand and said loudly.
"Has it been dealt with?" Ning Yuan turned around and walked towards the entrance upon hearing this.
"He is leading people to deal with it, and he is also calling in more earth-type, water-type, and fire-type mutants to go there."
The two of them were moving very fast and had reached the entrance while they were talking. Lu Weiyi shouted to Zhao Gang who was helping on the sidelines, "Gather half of the earth, water, and fire ability users to follow me."
"Got it!" Zhao Gang finished speaking and quickly called out the names. The people whose names he called immediately followed Lu Weiyi and walked towards the underground city.
When Lu Weiyi and more than 40 people arrived at the place the soldiers mentioned, the place had been surrounded by high-level psychics in the base.
From a distance, one can see a large wet area on the wall of the dungeon. It is unknown how long it has been infiltrated. The light bulbs nearby can clearly reflect the outline that is still growing.
"What's going on?" Lu Weiyi squeezed into the crowd and asked Li Zhuang, "Didn't they say that the outer perimeter of the underground city is at least one thousand meters away from the sea?"
"It's less than fifty meters outside." Li Zhuang frowned and covered the wall with his hands. All those around him were earth-type mutants, and they all did the same thing as him.
"Who is the earth-type mutant? Go and help," Ning Yuan shouted to the people who followed him.
"First transfer the soil from other places here to reinforce the thickness on the outside." Li Zhuang was replaced exhausted. He sat on the ground and drank a sip of water. Then he said, "This side faces the ocean and has just been hit by huge waves. The outer layer should have collapsed."
"Let the water-type psychic extract the moisture from the soil." No one knew more about reinforcement than Li Zhuang. He quickly gave the order and said to Ning Yuan, "You should bring as much water as possible to control the water layer outside. Don't let the earth-type psychic be under too much stress when transferring the soil layer."
Controlling the flow of water through the wall was a bit difficult for Ning Yuan, not to mention other psychics who were lower in level than him. In the end, with the help of Lu Weiyi's mental power, he barely managed to control the area in front of him.
Seeing that the situation was under control, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Lu Weiyi knew that this was not a long-term solution. What was being shifted was the soil layer next to it, which meant that the soil layer elsewhere was also becoming thinner. No one could guarantee how many times it could withstand such big waves.
As Ning Yuan said, they didn't know how many times they would have to face such situations in the future.
There was no time to delay any longer. After escaping the guards, Lu Weiyi returned and immediately mentioned to Zhuang Mingxu about advancing the plan.
Knowing the situation the base was facing, Zhuang Mingxu did not hesitate any longer. In other words, they had no better choice. Even if the space channel would cause certain impacts, it was still their best option.
The mutated animals on land can keep Lu Weiyi overwhelmed along the way, and the existing psychics on their island are simply unable to fully protect so many ordinary people.
The reason I hesitated for so long was just to give them more time to consider.
Over there, Zhuang Mingxu was looking at the base reflected by the dim skylight. The original residents here had started planting again after he bought seeds on credit. The bustling crowds among the densely packed fields looked exactly the same as the prosperous Yueban Bay once was.
This is a new base and everything needs to start from scratch.
Just retraining the trumpet.
Zhuang Mingxu exhaled deeply, waved his hand, and replied to Lu Weiyi, "I'll follow your instructions and start transferring immediately."
The two of them agreed and took action at the same time without giving anyone time to react.
Lu Weiyi immediately mobilized some earth-type ability users to escort the researchers who had been selected in advance.
The team of 200 people had been informed early in the morning, and they assembled quickly after receiving the notice, bringing their luggage and necessary equipment.
As the team leader, Ji Qian had no idea what was going on, or even the destination or the mission, yet he was chosen.
He had tried to get information from Li Zhuang before, but was turned away. This time he simply asked Lu Weiyi directly.
"Go to where we are about to move," Lu Weiyi did not hide it.
As soon as he finished speaking, there were whispers from the audience, some expressing surprise and some expressing astonishment. Lu Weiyi waited for the voices to stop before speaking again, "This team brings together experts from different fields. I need you to tell me as soon as possible in your professional field about the radiation intensity there, people's physical condition, soil climate and all other factors that will affect our survival."
"Someone over there will tell you what you need to do, and there will be someone to cooperate with you if you need anything."
Having said this, he was silent for a long time, not knowing what to say. That was where he placed his hope, and these people were the first judges to determine whether this hope would come true.
The decision to move the base sounded simple and seemed easy, but when it was about to be implemented, he finally felt the pressure - the future survival of so many people in the entire base depended on his decision.
He is responsible for the survival of so many people.
Looking at the pairs of eyes staring at him below and hearing the buzzing sound of the underground city being hit by the waves, he felt nervous for the first time.
He wanted to say that it must be a good place, and wanted to tell them that the base would have a good future, but in the end, all he could say was just one sentence.
“I wish you all the best!”
