Chapter 798: Controlled Zombies
Lu Weiyi thought they might have clues, so he was ready to chase them, but someone shouted, "What's going on? My powers don't seem to work on these zombies?"
Putting his raised foot down, Lu Weiyi turned his attention back to the team.
"Attack the body!"
There were quite a few zombies surrounding them. Unexpectedly, all of them had superpowers. Although their levels were not too high, their superpowers did not cause any kills.
Most of the bodies were chopped off, but the heads were still "alive", wriggling ferociously and looking like they were about to bite.
Lu Weiyi's mental power attacked the zombie's head directly. The moment it touched the zombie's head, he felt that his supernatural power seemed to be resisted by something. He was completely unable to directly penetrate into the center of the zombie's eyebrows to take out the crystal core as he did in the past.
He frowned, condensed an energy blade and swung it over, and the ferocious head instantly split into two halves.
Unexpectedly, in addition to the crystal core, there was also a transparent film similar to plastic wrap.
"Attack with weapons," Lu Weiyi reminded, holding a dagger and dragging over a zombie with its neck cut off, leaving only its head.
His messy long hair covered his face, making it impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman, but the sound of his teeth clicking together could be heard constantly, and one could even faintly hear the "chuckle" coming from his broken throat.
Lu Weiyi stepped forward and was about to insert the dagger in his hand when a frightened figure behind him suddenly retreated, pushing him to stagger forward.
He turned around quickly, and when he saw that the person retreating was Yu Mengchu, he supported her body. His mental barrier instantly blocked her and blocked the high-speed water droplets that were attacking her.
Lu Weiyi remembered that she had fire ability, so this little drop of water should not be a problem at all. Seeing her holding her chest with a painful expression, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"My superpower... seems to be a little stagnant." Yu Mengchu slowed down his breathing to relieve the discomfort, "It's not smooth to use."
"It's probably because of internal organ injury. Stay beside me." Lu Weiyi looked around. Li Qing and Zhao Gang were observing the entire situation from a high place, taking action from time to time to deal with the fish that slipped through the net. The rest of the people were also enough to deal with the current situation.
He pulled Yu Mengchu back to the zombie's head and saw that the head with long flowing hair had become bald. Part of the long hair had been torn off by his kick, revealing a wound that was as winding as a centipede's foot.
"This hair is... glued on, right?" Yu Mengchu didn't know what he was doing, but his attention was focused on the zombie's head, and he could see the problem at a glance.
She took out her machete and picked up a strand of hair. After identifying it, she handed it to Lu Weiyi and said, "This is a wig. It should have been glued on with something like glue."
"Who is so perverted as to put wigs on zombies?"
As she was complaining, she saw the dagger in Lu Weiyi's hand slide accurately towards the suture on the back of the zombie's head. As the dagger fell suddenly, the zombie completely lost its "life", and inside the zombie's head that was split into two halves, the entire cranial cavity was wrapped with a layer of transparent film.
"What is this?"
As soon as Yu Mengchu finished asking, Lu Weiyi grabbed her and took a step back, and the place where they were standing exploded with a bang.
As if it was a signal, the zombies around him also began to explode continuously.
A huge amount of mental power dissipated from his side, protecting the people around him who had not yet reacted. Others only felt safe, but Yu Mengchu, who was closest to him, felt that he was almost suppressed to the point of suffocation.
Broken limbs and arms were flying everywhere, sticky brain matter burst and sprayed, the surroundings were filthy, blocking the vision, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell.
When the dust settled, there was no sign of any living creature around, only piles of body parts and flesh on the ground.
"Is this... being controlled?" Su Yan frowned tightly. The unexpected situation made him nervous. He looked around and asked about everyone's injuries.
"It's a minor injury, nothing serious."
Someone replied, and the protected healing psychic stepped forward to help the injured recover.
Lu Weiyi carefully put away the half piece of transparent film stuck on his dagger. Several people who saw his action asked what it was.
"I don't know, it should be this thing that greatly reduces the effectiveness of the supernatural power." When Lu Weiyi saw the suture scar on the back of the zombie's head, he immediately thought of the zombies controlled by Qi Le.
He roughly knew the location from Qi Le, but he didn't think of going there to investigate. He didn't expect to see this experimental product here by accident.
Not knowing whether he had intruded into their testing site, Lu Weiyi looked at the more than 40 people in the team and thought it would be better to tell them everything.
But now is not a good time, at least find a safer place.
Just when I was about to ask someone to look for a complete zombie skull and send it back for research, I heard Ning Yuan shout, "Captain, come and take a look."
Lu Weiyi took a few steps forward and saw several zombies still moving next to Ning Yuan on the ground, blocking the crowd's view. Some of them had only their heads left, and some had half of their bodies still wriggling.
He winked at Lu Weiyi, and Lu Weiyi immediately put the two inconspicuous things into the space.
"What's wrong?" Su Yan came out from behind and asked.
"There is a living person here. I want to knock it open to see what's inside, but I'm afraid of causing an explosion," Ning Yuan said.
Su Yan also saw the zombie wriggling on the ground with half of its body. He wanted to see what was inside its head, but he hesitated when he thought of the incredible explosion just now.
"Is this the only one?" He looked around and everyone around him shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen a complete one.
This made him even more hesitant. "Can I take it away? This is the only one. If I take it back and let someone study it, maybe they can find something?"
"What if it explodes..."
Although the explosion does not seem to be very powerful, it is still a sudden blow.
"It shouldn't be." Li Qing walked over, holding some broken parts in his hands. "There should be a detonator installed in the zombie's head, which is controlled by remote control or some other command. As for those that didn't explode, I suspect that the components inside are damaged."
After checking, Ning Yuan agreed with his idea, but he couldn't be sure. It was too dangerous to take such a thing on the road. He suggested, "Just dissect it and take the parts."
Everyone agreed, and he immediately took action himself. Under Lu Weiyi's careful protection, there was no explosion until he opened the head.
What appeared before their eyes was just a thin membrane that completely wrapped the entire skull, as if it had grown naturally, fitting closely and covering the brain.
A mini patch the size of a fingernail is wrapped inside the capsule, which should be the detonator.
"Do you want to continue?" Ning Yuan lowered his voice.
If we continue, we will definitely destroy the integrity of the film.
"Just take out the controller," Lu Weiyi said.
"I'll try my best." Ning Yuan chose the most direct angle. However, after one cut, the film seemed to have lost its strength and shrank instantly along the cut.
Ning Yuan clicked his tongue and said, "This thing is elastic and is stretched," so it will shrink after being damaged.
Fortunately, the controller did not explode. Not sure whether it contained any technology to control zombies, the few of them carefully put it away.
"I just put away a piece. You can take this and see if you can figure out anything about it." Lu Weiyi pointed to the shrunken piece of film, very generously.
Su Yan shook his head and said, "You can take it. We don't have anyone specializing in this in our base. It would be a waste if you take it. Don't forget to let me know if you have any breakthrough."
After he said that, Lu Weiyi didn't refuse and collected them all.
While they were concentrating on their research, it had already darkened. However, apart from the previous wave of zombie attacks, not even a small animal came around. This strange situation made them even more nervous. They did not dare to continue searching for the traces of Wen Jing and his group, and could only find a place to rest.
There are relatively more rooftops in the city, and even if they collapse or are damaged, some of the tall ones still exist.
The group found a sixth-floor rooftop as a temporary resting place.
Zhao Gang and several others were arranged to guard for the first half of the night to make sure there were no suspicious creatures around. Only then did Lu Weiyi tell them what he knew.
Domestic bases are still focusing on zombie vaccines and mutant animals, and are even turning their attention to infighting. Others have already used this to research new weapons.
The completely unexpected situation left everyone unable to react, and they felt more horrified.
"This news was originally intended to be notified to each base, so that everyone would pay attention to the personnel in their own base in the future to prevent them from being captured and used for experiments. I didn't expect to encounter it here."
"In the next period of time, everyone should be careful. Do not treat any animals you encounter as ordinary animals. No one can guarantee that they are not people who come here to eavesdrop or monitor you."
"You..." Su Yan swallowed hard, trying to stay calm. "Have you ever seen someone who can smoothly switch between human and animal?"
He didn't know if this thing could still be called a human being.
"I have seen it. I have also seen controlled zombies, S-level zombies," Lu Weiyi replied.
He looked at the people in Wen Jing's team and said, "We have never explored this area. If we really reach the other party's experimental base, it will be too dangerous. We will search for a day tomorrow. If we can't find it..."
"Feel sorry".
His supernatural powers are so high that he is not afraid of known mutated animals and plants, but he has always been in awe of the research on humans.
It is impossible to keep the team here just for Wen Jing.
The members of the Mengbei team knew rationally that this was reasonable, but emotionally it was still difficult to accept.
"Our captain saved so many of you..." Someone tried to talk about gratitude.
"Brother, you don't think that without the protection of our captain, so many of you can survive safely until now, right?" Ning Yuan smiled.
There was no argument or questioning, just a statement of facts, which made people even more speechless.
Ning Yuan didn't want to argue with them, especially since so many of them were missing. He sighed, "It's too dangerous here, everything is unknown. If we continue to stay here, it's hard to say what we will face."
Amid the silence of the crowd, he didn't know what to say anymore and could only ask everyone to do their best tomorrow.
