Chapter 764: Killing Zhao Qiang Instantly
Lu Weiyi's little green branch suddenly pushed Xu Sa away, and the flying sword shot into the ice surface, stirring up a layer of ice.
A stream of energy fell like a heavy hammer, smashing through the ice that had just solidified. The small green branch reached in and pulled Liu Rui out of the water.
Even if a psychic of Liu Rui's level is trapped in the water, his life will not be in danger in the short term, but knowing this does not cause any concern at all.
Xu Sa grabbed Liu Rui and, not caring that he was wet, hugged him tightly, muttering something in a low voice.
Lu Weiyi could clearly see that he was trembling all over. When he didn't have super powers, he was strong enough to follow the people in the team to kill zombies. Zombies hit him in the face several times, but he never felt this extreme fear. But now he seemed to be having an epileptic seizure.
As Lu Weiyi appeared beside the two of them, the psychics around them seemed to have seen some horrifying scene. They stopped using their powers tacitly, looked at each other, and retreated tacitly.
Ning Yuan, Gu Qingyue and others supported each other and gathered towards Lu Weiyi.
The only sounds around him were Xu Sa's broken tears and the sound of raindrops hitting the ice.
"Captain Lu, long time no see. I hope you are well."
A familiar voice sounded, stopping everyone from retreating. The crowd separated into a passage in the middle, and Zhao Qiang, dressed in a smart and slim suit, walked towards them.
His pace was neither fast nor slow, and it was not at all like the man who used to follow Lu Weiyi and politely called him Brother Lu.
Lu Weiyi felt that the supernatural powers around him had risen to an impossible level. After carefully checking the flow of energy, he frowned slightly and knew the reason for his arrogance.
"Heh" Lu Weiyi sneered, and the energy around him suddenly surged. The ice under his feet split in all directions at an extremely fast speed. Before anyone could prepare, a group of people following Zhao Qiang fell into the water.
He did not let the water-based mutants waste their powers to freeze the sea surface, but directly used his mental power to cover the sea level.
Everyone clearly saw the person who fell into the water struggling to get up, but seemed to be blocked by something and could not get out of the ground. At first, no one seemed to care, and some even cooperated with each other to let water-based psychics take action to solidify the sea water and return to the sky.
However, the water-based mutant's frozen sea surface also solidified the area around them. The feeling of being surrounded by ice gradually made them panic, especially the inability to breathe.
On the other side of the water, Lu Weiyi still looked cold and indifferent, as if he didn't care about anyone. The struggle of the person under his feet was not noticed by him. He watched Zhao Qiang leisurely as his face gradually became gloomy.
When the people who were originally standing on the coastline at the rear saw Lu Weiyi, no one approached him for a while, but now they had no choice but to continue hiding - among the people drowning in the water were psychics from various bases, and the price of their inaction would be these people's lives.
They came forward with shy looks on their faces, but no one took the initiative to greet him, and Lu Weiyi didn't even look at them.
He kept looking at Zhao Qiang, with the corner of his mouth raised like a cat pinching the mouse's neck, letting the other party jump around.
"Lu Weiyi..."
"I used to think that the Zhao family looked down on you just because you were short. They had no vision..."
Zhao Qiang was interrupted by Lu Weiyi right after he finished his warning. Lu Weiyi's words hit Zhao Qiang's heart directly and made him look even uglier.
"Now it seems that they are the ones with foresight. A rat like you in the gutter," Lu Weiyi looked him up and down, like a commodity to be appraised, "is only fit to live in a shameful place."
Zhao Qiang's entire masseter muscle bulged out from his teeth. He laughed instead of being so angry and said to the people standing behind him, "The superpowers of those below SS level in Yueban Bay have been restricted. Their combat effectiveness can be counted on one hand. This is a good opportunity for us to take them down."
"What are you waiting for? Don't you want to find a way to purify the crystal core? Don't you want to upgrade?"
This sentence made everyone hesitate. Ning Yuan and others even stood directly behind Lu Weiyi. Behind them, Li Qing and Li Yan led all the psychics in the base to form a human wall with their bodies.
Their special abilities were suppressed, but they did not put down their weapons, and there was no fear on their faces. Behind them, ordinary people who had been hiding in underground shelters appeared in groups, forming a dense team.
Some of them were holding weapons in their hands, and some were ordinary people, holding hoes and plows used for farming in their hands, but they rushed forward without hesitation.
"I will live and die with the base--!"
I don't know who shouted this slogan, but gradually more and more people responded intermittently, and it finally resounded throughout the world.
The heavy rain that had lasted for more than half a month stopped at some point. The dark sky was blown away by the wind, and a ray of sunlight slanted down, as if to celebrate the vitality that was finally coming to Yueban Bay.
As living human beings in the end times, as people of the same country, and as compatriots struggling to survive together, they have too many reasons to unite and work together.
However, they did not. Even in their own little piece of land, everyone was still thinking about fighting for power and profit, and calculating against each other.
And in this base with the smallest population, they saw that everyone was working towards a common goal.
The most basic goal is to stay alive.
The sounds all around were still ringing, and each of them was really prepared to live and die with this base.
A smile slowly appeared on Lu Weiyi's indifferent face. He turned around and looked at the tens of thousands of people following him. This should be all the strength that could be gathered at this moment. They stood up spontaneously, just like they did countless times in resistance.
It made him feel that this was not a nationwide siege, but just an ordinary confrontation, like the zombies and mutated animals they had fought against in the past.
Well...it's no big deal.
After being away for half a year, the same group of lovely people remained when he returned, which showed that his efforts in protecting them were worth it.
"What are you betting on?" he asked Ning Yuan beside him.
"...Life and death!" Ning Yuan's hands continued to absorb crystal cores, "If we win, they will leave immediately, and we will lose..."
Besides losing their lives, they also lost this base.
"Captain Lu, are you going to replace them?" Zhao Qiang put on a strategic smile again, "I'm happy to follow you..."
With a "bang", no one noticed what happened, but Zhao Qiang, who was standing in the front and talking just now, had already stepped on Lu Weiyi's feet.
He had just used his energy to shatter the ice, causing a group of psychics to fall into the water. At this moment, the ice he was standing on was white, with broken ice foam floating on it, and it looked like it could crack at any time.
But Zhao Qiang was pressed to the ground by him with his head stepped on.
"What do you want to tell me?" Lu Weiyi asked.
The group of people who followed Zhao Qiang took a few steps back at the same time, and the light in Ning Yuan and others' eyes was almost tangible.
Zhao Qiang mobilized his supernatural powers in his hands. Even deep in the sea, the soil beneath the sea was still at the disposal of the earth-type supernatural power user.
"Be careful, he doesn't seem like..." a mutant who had just upgraded.
Ning Yuan hinted in a low voice, not saying it too bluntly.
Lu Weiyi smiled and said, "Of course not. How can someone who can absorb the crystal core of a superpower be of low level?"
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar around.
"Captain Lu, please don't talk nonsense," Sun Lin, who was following Zhao Qiang, spoke first.
He was aware of the impact this statement would have on the guard team. If Zhao Qiang's superpowers were no match for Lu Weiyi's, they could still say there was a level difference between them. But if the news of his absorbing the superpower's crystal core got out, the guard team would no longer have any image.
Lu Weiyi laughed twice and looked down at Zhao Qiang. He didn't seem to have any emotion, but his condescending look made people feel superior. He asked, "Do you dare to admit it?"
"Will all psychics who level up quickly be targeted for the reputation of absorbing psychics?" Zhao Qiang avoided his question and asked back.
Seeing that he neither admitted it nor refuted it, Lu Weiyi just said, "I hope you can upgrade smoothly one day."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp blade of mental force slashed towards Zhao Qiang. Zhao Qiang tried his best to dodge, but the blade cut through half of his head and one side of his cheek, and finally cut off one of his arms.
"This is the price you pay." As Zhao Qiang continued to struggle and roar, a flame appeared on Lu Weiyi's fingertips. With a flick of his finger, Zhao Qiang's fallen arm was ignited bit by bit. "Any healing department in any base that dares to treat him should be prepared to be hunted down by the entire Yueban Bay."
"Hahaha..." A defiant laugh rang out, and Pang Xinghuo pushed aside the group of people in front of him and strode towards Lu Weiyi. Someone beside him reached out to pull him, but he raised his hand to push him away. A huge flame ignited around his body, making him look like a cluster of burning flames.
The people around spontaneously made way, and the heat of the flames even made some people use their special powers to defend themselves.
"With only so many people in Yuebanwan, do you really think anyone is afraid of your pursuit? After today, whether Yuebanwan exists or not is another matter." As soon as the words fell, a fiercely burning flame bypassed Lu Weiyi and attacked the people standing behind him directly. "Kill everyone. Who can you command as a commander without any troops?"
"Why don't you take action? It's too late to quit now. He won't let anyone here go." Pang Xinghuo shouted to the people standing around hesitantly, "The best option is to unite and go all out."
That's what he said, and it makes sense, but not everyone dares to take the risk. They came for the profit, not to the point where they really couldn't survive. Especially Zhao Qiang, who claimed to have the strongest superpowers, didn't even have a chance to make a move in front of Lu Weiyi, which made others doubt themselves.
But Pang Xinghuo's words did move some people, and they tacitly began to attack the person standing behind Lu Weiyi.
For a group of people without special powers, this is the best time to make a move.
An invisible barrier spread from Lu Weiyi's body to the back, covering everyone behind him.
Pang Xinghuo's flame sprayed on the mental barrier, emitting dazzling light, but it was never able to get any closer.
"No matter how strong a person's supernatural power is, it will be exhausted eventually. Let's unite!" Pang Xinghuo encouraged those who saw this scene and had a way out again.
