Chapter 793: Discovered
"What did you say?"
Several people who were sitting stood up at the same time, and some even spoke in surprising dialects.
Before they could ask more questions, the ground shook. The all-too-familiar feeling made the faces of the people in Yuebanwan change immediately.
"Go to the ground first," Ning Yuan said decisively.
"Let others be ready to evacuate at any time," Wen Jing instructed his men and hurriedly followed Ning Yuan's steps.
Lu Weiyi looked back and Xu Sa gave him an OK sign. He walked towards the sleeping Gu Qingji, while Ye Jia had already helped Yu Mengchu stand up.
As soon as you get out of the ground, the first thing that catches your eye is the crazy mutant squid. The sea surface is covered with squid tentacles, which look like the legendary giant Mongolian worm. Just one look at them will give you goose bumps.
There was something attached to the tentacles, which it was throwing around aimlessly.
There were even several of them rushing towards this side. The group did not dare to expose their special abilities and could only rely on their physical strength to dodge.
"What's going on?" Even before, when the mutant squid was looking for someone, it seemed to be emotionally stable. Now, it looked like it was overstimulated.
Wen Jing asked the ground duty personnel.
"I... seemed to see a figure rushing over," the person who answered scratched his head, not sure, "and there seemed to be gunshots just now."
"You must have heard it wrong. There's no way we couldn't hear gunshots," the person with him retorted.
The man shook his head and said, "I think it was still a gunshot, but it was a misfire."
Neither of them could convince the other, and they couldn't even be sure if someone was approaching.
"Come and see," shouted Li Qing as he came closer to see the things thrown ashore.
Lu Weiyi took out the telescope and handed it to Ning Yuan, then walked a few steps towards Li Qing.
"What is this?" Su Yan frowned as he looked at the strange creature in front of him that was turned over by Li Qing.
The body shape of an adult looks like a fish, but there are two mouths side by side on the head, with sharp teeth turned outward like the saw teeth of a shark.
It wasn't completely dead yet, and as it opened and closed its teeth, it made a clicking sound, which was a bit creepy.
Before the two of them could come to a conclusion, they heard a scream and someone crying for help.
"It's Lao Liu."
The man who had just come to answer the call said this, running quickly towards the source of the voice.
Wen Jing immediately followed, and Su Yan and Lu Weiyi followed closely behind. When the three of them went over, they saw a not-so-big mutant octopus covering the man's head like a hat, with countless tentacles wrapping up his entire head.
What is peculiar is that in addition to a pair of normal eyes on the octopus's head, there are several pairs of miniature eyes around it. As people approach, the miniature eyes also move around.
The man with his entire head covered in blood was bumping around aimlessly, and his cries for help turned into groans. As the mutant octopus's tentacles tightened, the man's tearing movements gradually became smaller.
This abnormal appearance made people around afraid to approach. It was the man who just ran over who stretched out his hand and swung out an ice blade, directly cutting off half of the mutant octopus's head, revealing the man's original head.
The tightened tentacles began to meander uncontrollably, loosening their strength but not falling off, as if they were wearing a tentacle sun hat.
"Help... help me... help me..." The man's voice for help came again. His hands kept shaking, but he didn't dare to pull the thing on his head.
Finally, a person not too far away used a stick to pull the octopus' tentacles off.
The man was still in shock and sat down on the ground. When he saw the octopus head still wriggling beside him, he was so scared that he rolled and crawled far away.
"Are there such mutations in marine animals?" Wen Jing asked Lu Weiyi uncertainly.
Lu Weiyi shook his head. Yuebanwan exported seafood to various bases, and he knew a little about it. "Most of them are mutations in body shape and superpowers. I have never found this kind..."
He couldn't find the words to describe it.
"An octopus has so many tentacles? That's weird, isn't it?"
"You can tell at a glance that no normal octopus has so many eyes."
"Hey, he's not dead yet, his eyes are moving, be careful don't get close to him."
"Lao Liu, where do you feel uncomfortable? Do you feel poisoned?"
Amidst the chatter, Lu Weiyi sensitively sensed the danger. He looked up and saw that the mutant squid that had been going crazy in the sea had noticed this place at some point.
Although its tentacles were still constantly throwing small seafood onto the shore, Lu Weiyi still felt that it was approaching this side.
"It discovered us." Lu Weiyi grabbed Su Yan and called out to Ning Yuan.
"Here, Lu Weiyi, there really is someone...someone is on its tentacles."
Without caring what Ning Yuan said, Lu Weiyi immediately ordered the team members to leave here, "Go to the shore, away from the sea."
“It’s not that serious, right? Squids are deep-sea creatures and cannot survive on the ground for a long time,” someone assured him.
Lu Weiyi ignored them and looked at Su Yan and Wen Jing, "You'd better hurry up and leave. I will be back here within a month. If you have anything to exchange, you can come here within this period."
While Lu Weiyi was speaking, Li Qing had already led the rest of the people to run away, while Ning Yuan was still looking into the distance with a telescope, just at the moment when the mutant squid started moving.
Ning Yuan suddenly took out a incendiary bomb from space and shot it into the sky.
"Fuck, you're crazy."
"Are you afraid he won't be able to find us?"
"It's Qi Lin, I saw Qi Lin." As soon as Ning Yuan finished speaking, a figure was already running towards them on the sea water.
"Base Commander" Qi Lin's eyes were red, and he choked up when he saw Lu Weiyi, "I... I thought you..."
In just a short while, the mutant squid had discovered their tracks without any concealment and was moving towards them with its tentacles dancing.
"Go first."
Lu Weiyi and his men immediately ran towards the jungle, shouting to Wen Jing and Su Yan who were still gathering people, "He can sense the presence of high-level psychics, so you guys should be careful."
"Fuck, why didn't you say so earlier?" Su Yan cursed angrily. Without even bothering to ask people to pack up, he immediately urged people to follow Lu Weiyi.
"Don't follow us." Everyone in Yueban Bay wore a supernatural power jammer that could suppress the energy in their bodies and confuse their senses to the greatest extent, but the people behind them didn't have that.
"Do you think we are stupid? If I don't follow you at this time, who can fight this thing?" Su Yan not only refused to listen, he even shouted to the team members not to fall behind.
Lu Weiyi gritted his teeth in anger, but he couldn't take action now since he had just accepted a favor from them yesterday.
"Lu Xiaoyi, where are we going?" Xu Sa, who was running in the front, asked loudly. His voice startled the birds in the woods, causing them to flap their wings.
"..."Lu Weiyi.
He also wanted to know where to go.
Such a thing would be a disaster wherever it goes.
"Southeast, there is no base there," Wen Jing answered for him.
"Ten o'clock direction" Li Qing quickly adjusted the magnetic field corrector and pointed out the direction.
Xu Sa immediately changed direction.
Because of the arrival of the mutant squids near Yueban Bay, all the mutant animals fled, which meant that they encountered almost no obstacles at the beginning.
However, the farther they were from the base, the more mutant animals appeared, and there were even mutant plants that secretly attacked them.
This forced Xu Sa and his team to remove their superpower jammers and launch resistance, which reduced the possibility of injury and allowed the mutant squid to better lock on to their position.
Lu Weiyi did not dare to take off his own and kept relying on his skills to dodge. However, after encountering a group of mutant lizards in the woods, he was completely unable to suppress them.
They seemed to have dug straight into the lizard's lair. Heads could be seen poking out from the surrounding branches everywhere. When people were not paying attention, a sticky tongue would grab them and drag them away.
The largest one is over ten meters long, while the smallest is only the size of a palm.
Xu Sa and his companions moved forward in a circle, protecting the injured people in the middle. The sound of the mutant squid's huge tentacles crushing trees was getting closer behind them, but it was not so easy to get past the front.
"Are you sure you want to follow us?" Lu Weiyi had his hand on the supernatural jammer and asked Wen Jing and Su Yan for the last time.
"At this time..." Su Yan panted, "Separation would be seeking death."
Lu Weiyi gritted his teeth. It was understandable for him to lure away the mutant squid for the sake of his team members, but for those who didn't want to do it...
He was extremely reluctant.
But there was no time to think too much at this moment. Just as Lu Weiyi reached out to take the jammer, Ning Yuan held his hand, shook his head slightly, and ordered, "Go underground."
"Earth-type mutants, immediately open up an underground passage and see if you can avoid this wave of lizards."
Wen Jing and Su Yan mobilized the earth-type ability users in the team at the same time, while Yang Zhiguang stood at the front reluctantly.
A dark downward passage appeared. Yang Zhiguang walked down first, followed closely by Zhao Gang.
The group quickly entered the underground, and as the hole in the ground was closed, the last ray of light disappeared.
The surroundings were silent, and only the breathing of the crowd could be heard. Feeling that there was no trace of the mutant lizard around, Su Yan exhaled, "Finally... Damn, what the hell -"
Although the psychics' vision is not affected in the dark environment, the psychological feeling brought by the darkness is completely different. As soon as Su Yan's terrifying voice came out, many fire-type psychics immediately condensed clusters of flames that floated in the air.
At this moment, Su Yan was tied tightly to the wall by the root of an unknown plant. The deep marks made him unable to move at all. He even rolled his eyes. There was also a root that went straight to his forehead.
Several small flames rushed up instantly, and the burned roots instantly shrank back. Su Yan fell to the ground, covering his neck and coughing violently.
"Everyone be careful." Wen Jing asked the wood-type ability users to feel the surrounding plants and look around vigilantly.
There was not much time for the group to stay there. The heavy slapping sounds on the ground caused the top of their heads to tremble, and dirt was falling down.
"The mutant squid is catching up with us." Yang Zhiguang turned around and ran forward. As he moved forward, a passage immediately opened up. His voice echoed in the darkness, "I can only maintain five meters. You guys take care of the rest."
There was only this one earth-type mutant in their team, so Lu Weiyi naturally went ahead, following the people in his own team.
Fortunately, there are quite a few earth-type mutants in Wen Jing and Su Yan's team, so the passage can be barely maintained.
Unfortunately, they did not have time to guard against the mutant plants that might pop up at any time, and could only let the fire-type mutants control the flames to constantly wander on the walls of the passage. Although it was a waste of their abilities, fortunately they were not attacked again.
The mutant squid's tentacles kept whipping the ground, and occasionally the roof of the passage was smashed through, revealing the suction cups on the tentacles.
They had no time to consider the direction and just followed Yang Zhiguang in front of them and ran forward.
By the time the earth-type ability users could no longer hold on and stopped, they had already completely lost their way.
