Chapter 840: Free Man
Lu Weiyi began to doubt their purpose. Even at this time, he was still thinking about dragging so many people into the water. Even if he could really mobilize so many bases, what would he get in the end?
Lu Weiyi couldn't figure it out for a moment, and Li Zhuang took over the conversation.
"Confess? Confess what?" Li Zhuang stood beside the man, his hands in his pockets, kicking the sand under his feet, causing the man to shrink away from him, even though the tight restraints on his body prevented him from moving at all.
Even so, he did not forget to mention it again, "The real end of the world is about to come, so you are in a hurry to move."
"You can also transfer?" Li Zhuang said lightly.
Hearing your words, the man gritted his teeth, "Only your base has the anti-radiation equipment. Without it, where can we move to? The solar storms are getting stronger and stronger. One day, even the superpowers will not be able to withstand it. By then, without the equipment, everyone will die."
He glared at the group of psychics who seemed to be bystanders and emphasized, "They all must die—"
"None of your family, friends, brothers, and sisters escaped. What are you waiting for? Are you still hoping for a place to survive?"
"I just dangled the carrot of upgrading in front of you, and you were willing to be used. What's the point of upgrading when you can't even survive—?"
The entire beach was filled with the other party's angry cries, as if they were speaking for themselves and all the people at the bottom of society, as if to demonstrate how just their purpose was.
"Since upgrading is useless, why do you want to use the mutant crystal core to upgrade?" Li Zhuang's words left the other party stuck on the spot.
Li Zhuang added with a click of the tongue, "And they used the crystal cores of their relatives, friends, brothers and sisters to upgrade."
"What are you trying to incite now? To get everyone to unite with you?" Li Zhuang squatted down and looked at him closely, his tone full of disbelief, "Are you not in your mind? Do you expect the companions of the superpowers you killed to unite with you?"
"In the eyes of you people, they are just a moving crystal core, right?"
Whether the end of the world comes or not, there will always be such confused people. How can they expect others to give them a way to survive?
Faced with this man's accusations, Lu Weiyi didn't even want to pay attention to him, and even thought that Li Zhuang was wasting his time, "Stop playing around, take him in for interrogation."
Li Zhuang made an OK gesture and stopped asking questions. Instead, he smiled and asked everyone on the side, "Does anyone have any questions?"
"..."Everyone.
Of course there were problems, but no one wanted to be the first to speak up, and in the end no one spoke up.
Seeing this, Wu Yue said sorry for the embarrassment and asked everyone to go back and continue eating. He turned and left, and the few people heard Ning Yuan's smiling voice.
"I told you not to be so kind. Look, you're being bullied, right?"
The person whom he called "kind-hearted" replied lightly, "Then let them pay the price with their death."
"Mobilize the team and be ready to eliminate the mastermind behind this at any time!"
**
The expedited interrogation soon revealed the result that the man was indeed a member of the hunting organization.
But it is not an organization, but an alliance of organizations called Freemen.
They are composed of several scattered hunting teams of psychics, and only accept psychics in the team.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, when everyone's target was still on the supplies left behind in the city, these people had already set their sights on those who had worked hard to collect supplies. They burned, killed, looted and obtained supplies from the other side. This ensured that many teams had abundant supplies and everyone lived a comfortable life. The only sword hanging over their heads was the possible failure of upgrading.
However, with the introduction of the purification crystal core, the knife began to move further and further away from them. It was a pity that the purification crystal cores of Yueban Bay were only traded with various bases and rarely flowed out to other spheres of influence. The prices speculated on the black market were not often affordable for them. As a result, while they began to increase the power of their team, they also began to engage in more and more shameful activities with various bases.
Just like when Yuebanwan supported Eric's forces to do things that were difficult to do openly, these people would also help some powerful people do some shameful things to obtain purification crystal cores. Even so, the number they could get was limited.
However, suddenly one day, the news that the crystal cores of psychics can also be upgraded began to spread among everyone, and former partners began to become their prey. Many people began to use the crystal cores of psychics to upgrade unscrupulously.
That is, they have absorbed too many unpurified zombie crystal cores, resulting in too much zombie energy in their bodies, and they cannot upgrade in a short period of time, which has limited their level so far. Otherwise, their supernatural power level would probably be even higher.
The tacit cooperation between Lu Xiao and Zheng Yi caused a shock in the whole Kyoto. They also had spies who received the news in time. Thinking of the disaster that even the strongest base could only avoid, the hunting psychics united for the first time and after discussion, they set their sights on the space transfer channel.
They had begun the silent investigation a few days ago, and even encountered Lu Weiyi going in and out to pick people up. However, the underground passage allowed the power jammer to still be used, which limited their power and prevented them from getting specific information.
Thinking that Lu Weiyi had to go there every time to transfer, the group came to a conclusion after various guesses - perhaps the passage was there, and they could pass through as long as they went there.
But this is just a guess, and people need to use practice to infer whether it is correct or not.
"These people with concerns will become the vanguard," Xu Sa pointed at the people they had captured.
"Are they stupid?" They would do something like this, risking their lives to come here just because they were fooled?
Lu Weiyi even wondered how they had survived the apocalypse for six years.
"I'm afraid there is a weakness." Ning Yuan has seen this situation many times.
Xu Sa nodded, not sure what to say. It seemed that everyone had their own helplessness, and the only result of everyone's struggle was to stay alive.
Are they wrong?
No.
What's wrong with wanting to live?
But for the people from Yuebanwan who were targeted by them, it was an unexpected disaster.
Seeing this result, no one spoke. After a while, Lu Weiyi stretched and stood up. "Did they find out their address through interrogation?"
"The results of the investigation, do you think?"
"Take some people with you and make a quick decision," said Lu Weiyi.
Ning Yuan looked at him in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I thought you were going to let them go?"
Lu Weiyi looked at him in confusion, thinking that he wanted to let these people go, and explained, "This is not the time to be soft-hearted. Many bases have seen that we are being targeted. If we don't establish our authority, our subsequent departure may not be smooth, and it may even make others have ideas about it."
"Zhuang Mingxu once said that as long as they can engrave fear into their bones, no one will dare to have any bad intentions."
He lowered his eyes and adjusted his sleeves, whispering, "They can only blame themselves for being the one who got in trouble."
"That's true. However, I heard from Wu Yue that after we left, some people still asked Wu Yue about the truthfulness of his words. Wu Yue said he didn't know, and that he could go to Kyoto to ask, so he took them away. I think after we come back, there will be many people who want to confirm with us."
"We..." Ning Yuan asked Lu Weiyi's opinion, "Do you want to say it?"
"No need, a trip to Kyoto will give you the results. A far-sighted base will know what to do."
Wu Yue did not take too many people with him when he left the base. Most of them were psychics from various bases that had joined together, which made the number of psychics left in their base very considerable this time.
"Are the people ready? I'll take them out immediately."
"I'm afraid it's a bit late now," Xu Sa said, "These bases should have their own follow-up personnel. We arrested people openly, and the news of the failure of the operation must have been passed on to the team at the first time."
"According to the speed of a normal psychic, it takes a day and a night to make the trip. This is based on the assistance of psychic powers. If you try your best, it will only be faster. And now... it has been eight hours since the accident." Xu Sa glanced at the time, "Even at your level, if you want to catch them all before the news is transmitted back..."
“It’s a bit difficult,” he concluded.
These people are desperate criminals who have many burrows. If we let them get the news and hide, we won't be able to find their tracks immediately, especially since they don't have that much time to waste.
I'm afraid the matter will end up in nothing.
"Otherwise, let's not take anyone else with us. I'll take a detour." Li Zhuang glanced at the address that Xu Sa had found out through interrogation. "It's not too far from Eric's place. By the way, let's ask Antonio to do some hard labor."
After saying this, he laughed and said, "I heard that the most complete good things are only found in the possession of robbers."
“……”Several people.
"Why don't I go, Brother Zhuang? You see, I haven't even ridden a phoenix yet? Ji Qian and his team are currently consolidating the island's foundation, and your special abilities can help them better." For rare things encountered when going out, people present can pick out the ones they like and take them away immediately. Lu Weiyi usually doesn't say anything, as this is almost an opportunity to take advantage without any suspense.
Xu Sa immediately became flattering.
“……”Ning Yuan.
He also wanted to go, but unfortunately there was no higher-level combat power at the base now, and it was necessary to communicate with the various bases that came one after another. It was impossible for Liu Rui to do it alone.
"Of course you can, but..." Li Zhuang crossed his legs and calmly spoke directly to his heart, "You still have some distance to go before your ability is upgraded, right?"
“……”Xu Sa.
Lu Weiyi also looked at Xu Sa.
"I haven't seen a lightning crystal core for more than a year. Brothers, it's really not that I didn't try hard." Xu Sa himself was helpless.
In the team, Lu Xi has his own research and does not insist on supernatural powers. Dean and Xu Yi's healing system belongs to another system completely. As for Gu Qingji, he is completely dragged down by the mutant plants he has contracted.
He is the only one left, and it is completely difficult to upgrade.
Li Zhuang had no empathy at all. He spread his hands and said shamelessly, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but we are worried about you going out."
Xu Sa looked at him with dead eyes, and Li Zhuang looked back at him sincerely.
Lu Weiyi did not give the two men time to curse at each other with their eyes. He nodded in agreement with Li Zhuang's idea, immediately stood up and prepared to leave. "After Li Zhuang and I deal with it, we will go directly to the Kyoto base. We will not make the news of my departure public, and no one should dare to mess around in the short term."
"Don't worry, there are so many superpowers here, nothing will happen." Ning Yuan sent the two out and watched the phoenix carrying the two take off and disappear from sight.
