Chapter 794: Low-level distortion
"Did we get rid of it?" Ye Jia was panting and didn't dare to lean against the wall, for fear that a mutant plant's root would pop out and attack him.
Yang Zhiguang sensed the location of the mutated squid from the ground and shook his head, "There is none within a thousand meters."
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and put on the jammer." Xu Sa put Gu Qingji down from his back and sat on the ground. Liu Rui looked around him vigilantly to prevent any sneak attack.
A mutated plant that was wrapped around Gu Qingyue's arm immediately extended countless branches and leaves to cover the ground, like a woven bed. Only after it was completed did they put Gu Qingji on it.
"Let's take a break." Su Yan was also very tired, but he still needed to count the number of people.
After he and Wen Jing confirmed the number of people, he asked about their location.
"The magnetic field corrector is out of service." Li Qing shook his head, holding the corrector whose pointer was shaking continuously.
No one found this result strange. Su Yan said dejectedly, "Nothing that happened is strange to me."
He turned his head to look at Lu Weiyi, who was still quiet, and asked, "What do you want to say next?"
How to say it?
Don't say.
If it weren't for you, I would have sent these people back to the base long ago. There would be no need to run for my life.
Lu Weiyi complained in his heart, but his face remained calm and cool as usual, "Take a break and find the direction. I'm going to Kyoto, what about you? Are you going back?"
When the two men left, they did not take everyone with them. As Lu Weiyi said, some high-level psychics might attract the attention of the mutant squids, so they left with them. The remaining low-level ones all stayed in the temporary underground residence.
The mutant squid followed them away. As long as the people over there didn't come out and hid safely, they should be safe in the short term. Instead, they were in more danger.
Thinking of the group of mutant lizards they had encountered before, Wen Jing and Su Yan said in unison, "Let's go together."
Lu Weiyi was unwilling but couldn't refuse, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, which made Li Qing cover her mouth and laugh secretly.
After a short rest, they did not dare to stay any longer. Even though they did not notice the mutant squids catching up with them, they continued to travel underground for several hours before returning to the ground.
The surroundings were completely unfamiliar. The jungle concealed all traces of human existence, and small animals were rustling everywhere.
Butterflies and bees flutter in the woods, and huge flowers bloom gorgeously. If it weren't for the energy emanating everywhere reminding people of the danger, this would indeed be a great place to enjoy the scenery.
"Has no one survived here from the beginning?" Despite the vibrant life around him, Lu Weiyi couldn't help but lower his voice.
"Never contacted them, there might be a smaller gathering place." Su Yan also looked around.
Lu Weiyi did not dare to be careless and asked people to take off all the supernatural power jammers.
At the moment the jammer was removed, the silence around was suddenly broken. The wandering mutant animals ran in all directions in fright. There were even mutant plants that had never been discovered. They pulled out roots from under their feet and rushed several meters away in the blink of an eye.
"Is this the pressure from the legendary high-level psychic?"
"Wow, this is so cool."
"They are all scared away, are we safe?"
Everyone who saw this scene looked at him with envy and whispered. Xu Sa and You Rongyan were about to speak when their faces suddenly changed and they swung the scimitars in their hands.
There was a sound of flesh piercing, accompanied by blood spurting out. Those who had originally relaxed their vigilance immediately became alert. Only then did they realize that as some mutant animals left, more were rushing towards them.
The mice, which were as tall as the calves, had strange shapes. Some had several pairs of eyes, some had two parallel noses, and some even had only one ear in the middle of the head, like a unicorn's horn. They chirped madly and rushed towards the group of people.
The small rabbits jump one meter high and keep jumping in the woods. Occasionally, you can see their bald foreheads, or heads with strange pustules. The positions of their eyes and noses are reversed, and some even have mouths growing on their foreheads.
The dense weeds hid their shapes, and it was impossible to see their number clearly. All I could see was that the surrounding trees were shaking.
The group kept shrinking together and formed a circle for defense.
The fire-type mutant took the lead and set fire to part of the surrounding grass, clearing a space for easy observation.
The first to arrive was a frog, with its sticky tongue sticking out half a meter away, and it was roaring hoarsely. An extra leg grew out of its butt, which looked like a tail, and it maintained its balance as it jumped.
A few minutes ago, everything was normal around me, but in the blink of an eye, it was like I had entered another strange world.
Without giving people time to react, everyone quickly attacked, only to find that these small animals, apart from looking a little strange, had no strong attack power at all. They didn't even have the so-called physical enhancements of mutant animals. Facing these battle-hardened psychics, they could be knocked down with just one attack.
"They... don't seem to have mutated."
Someone exclaimed, and then they saw a fire dragon sweeping across the front of them, burning everything fiercely, making them look particularly stupid as they were on high alert.
"Be careful," Wen Jing reminded, retreated into the crowd, put on a pair of gloves made of unknown material, picked up a living rabbit and killed it with a clean knife.
As the knife flew in his hands, in a short while, the rabbit in his hand was skinned, gutted and neatly arranged into square pieces, as if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"This thing...can't be eaten?"
Someone muttered, earning a strange look from Wen Jing. Lu Weiyi didn't understand and winked at Gu Qingyue, who then stepped back and stood near Wen Jing.
After a while, Wen Jing stood up, wiped the blood off the dagger, put it back on his body, and then spoke, "The internal structure of the body is no different from that of the animals before the apocalypse, and even the tendency of skin enhancement is very small."
He pinched a transparent, colorless crystal core the size of a fingernail between his fingers and motioned for them to look at it. “The level is not even half of that of a primary zombie crystal core.”
"Could this be the result of the previous massive reproduction of animals?" Su Yan asked.
The mutated animals multiplied rapidly for a period of time, causing the entire ecological environment to tilt towards the animals, but those animals that were bred rarely mutated, and most of the crystal core energies were abnormally weak, not much different from ordinary animals.
"So..." Ning Yuan looked at the area around him where corpses had piled up into a small hill due to the attacks of the psychics, "Are these deformed animals the lowest level?"
As soon as the words "lowest level" came out, several sensitive people immediately looked at him. Ning Yuan suddenly understood what they were thinking from their gazes, and his face gradually became ugly, "Not that bad, right?"
"I heard that the radiation value is high again," Wen Jing said in confusion.
"The radiation has been around for a while. It's impossible that it has erupted now because of this reason? Are you thinking... too much?" Ning Yuan said this, but his tone could not hide his nervousness.
Lu Weiyi did not participate in their conversation. He controlled his mental power and tied up several small animals that were running towards him desperately from a distance. He tied them tightly with ropes and said in front of everyone, "We'll know after we let someone study it."
There are so many researchers who don't need it, why are we guessing here.
"..." Wen Jing, "Can we communicate the results?"
"Of course." Lu Weiyi turned his head and smiled at him, very friendly. Then Su Yan saw that the other party rubbed his fingers together, with obvious hints.
"..."Su Yan.
I know that Yuebanwan will not let go of any crystal core.
Even if the animals that came were not very aggressive, their numbers alone were enough to shock people.
Where the base exists, people with special abilities often appear. In addition, Kyoto once distributed drugs to control animal reproduction, which had some effect. But when you really reach the uninhabited area, the rampant animals are shocking.
While they were talking, the corpses around them had piled up into a small circular hill, and in the distance they could still feel the dense crowds approaching.
"Do you want some more pressure from a high-level psychic or something?" Su Yan couldn't help but ask Lu Weiyi as his supernatural powers were being consumed.
"Don't you think these things are attracted here?" Lu Weiyi looked at him with an indescribable look.
"What's the meaning?"
"What it means is that those who are a little smarter noticed the danger and avoided it in advance, and those who rushed over are those with low IQs," Wen Jing explained.
"It's getting dark, we can't waste our superpowers here, why don't you put on the jammers," Wen Jing suggested.
Ning Yuan shrugged his shoulders and attached jammers to several psychics above SS level, but did not allow the rest to do so.
Even though we are fleeing together at this time, we are not of the same mind, so we still need to be vigilant at all times.
In order to avoid these influx of small animals, the group had no choice but to go underground again.
When I came out again, night had fallen.
The place where they are seems to be a former city. Even though it is covered by dense forests, it does not affect the rampant zombies at all.
The zombies moving through the woods were startled by the passing small animals and started to roar and chase after them.
Their sudden intrusion was like airdropping a portion of fresh food to this ecologically balanced paradise. In just a moment, zombies from all directions immediately pounced on them and bit them.
"Fuck, can we explore the environment before coming up? Is this a meal delivered to our door?" Ning Yuan shouted in surprise, his hands not slowing down at all.
"I'm sorry, I've run out of power," an earth-type power user in the team apologized.
"It's okay, it's okay, I just said it casually," Ning Yuan just complained. He felt embarrassed after being apologized so seriously, and joked, "Hurry up, everyone, these are crystal cores that are delivered to our doorstep. If you are slow, we will take them all."
"Brother Ning, can you open your eyes and talk?" The lightning in Xu Sa's hand condensed into a long whip, and he protected Liu Rui, who was attached to the jammer, behind him. As he spoke of Ning Yuan's colleague, the long lightning whip in his hand flashed crackling sparks in the air, illuminating the densely packed heads around him.
"Have we entered the zombie lair again?" Ning Yuan asked in horror.
"It's an uninhabited area, so naturally no one has cleared it. Be careful of high-level zombies..." Su Yan had just said half of his words when he was grabbed by Lu Weiyi with quick eyes and hands. He staggered to avoid an icicle flying towards him.
The sharp icicles pierced into the tree and instantly penetrated several inches, shocking Su Yan so much that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Be careful in the tree, there are zombies with special powers."
As they were talking, they saw several zombies crawling down the tree trunk, and some even jumped directly from the branches into their encirclement, instantly disrupting their formation.
"Qingji——"
Following Gu Qingyue's shout, several people turned around and saw that a zombie the size of a three or four-year-old child had silently hung down from the tree. There were wooden vines wrapped around his body, and he looked like a little turtle.
But in the dark, it is difficult to notice when no sound is made.
Gu Qingyue's voice startled him, and the little zombie immediately headed towards Gu Qingji who was being carried by Li Qing in front of him.
The distance was too close, and Gu Qingyue didn't even have the chance to use his supernatural powers. He lunged forward, pushing Li Qing and the other man away, but he was pinned under the little zombie.
