Chapter 886: Memory Tampering
"This is the part where SSS energy fusion is completed. Artillery shells cannot achieve such an effect," Lu Weiyi said affirmatively.
According to their original plan, the fire-type mutants and heavy weapons would work together to burn all the mutated plants that had not yet integrated the crystal core energy into other parts of the body, and Lu Weiyi would deal with the rest.
Who would have thought that the problem could be solved so easily without Lu Weiyi taking any action at all.
"Maybe they attacked the same place several times? Otherwise, except for you and Qin Jin, no one else around here could have reached this level, right?" Ning Yuan said as he looked at Lu Weiyi. Seeing him frowning in deep thought, he asked suspiciously, "You don't think..."
"Yes, I suspect we are being used." He briefly explained the energy leakage situation to Ning Yuan, "You bring people here to investigate."
To be able to do such a thing under Lu Weiyi's nose, the other party either has some means or is more powerful. Either way, we have to be on guard.
"I'll go to Qin Jin to see the situation."
After Lu Weiyi finished speaking, he ran towards the direction where Qin Jin was. During the run, he encountered many psychics and high-level zombies in a melee, and he took care of several of them.
Before they could get out of the melee, they saw Qin Jin running towards them from afar, and his speed could not be ignored.
"The mutant banyan tree is dead."
"Wei Minglang is missing."
They both said in unison, followed by the exact same sentence, "What's going on?"
Lu Weiyi made a long story short. After talking a few words about the mutated banyan tree, he asked Qin Jin what happened.
"Almost. I also thought that he had been killed, but when I got closer to look for him, he had disappeared. I'll find an earth-type mutant to investigate." Qin Jin said as he quickly ran towards the area where the earth-type mutant was and told him what happened there.
The situation was similar to Lu Weiyi's. Because of his guilt towards Zhuang Mingxu, he also wanted to end the battle quickly, which made him not leave any room for maneuver when he took action.
Even under the Qing Kang Dynasty, who had the same superpowers, there would be surprises due to personal constitution and the mastery and understanding of superpowers. Moreover, Qin Jin felt that he was not a so-called stupid person.
With both he and the giant energy wolf fighting desperately, Wei Minglang quickly fell into a disadvantage. He found it incredible that it went so smoothly. Even his pet-like energy body had no room to play a role.
"I feel like he's not as strong today as before, he seems... a lot weaker."
Lu Weiyi turned his head to look at him and said, "The same situation happens with the mutant banyan tree."
The two looked at each other and smelled a conspiracy. Before they could bring the earth-type psychic with them, Ning Yuan had already received news that "there are traces of supernatural powers left underground, but they couldn't be sure what kind of power it was."
"Is there any other supernatural power that can move on the ground?" Qin Jin asked.
"Normally, there are only earth-related abilities, but don't forget that we may have mutant plants now. When plants move through the soil, they enter their own territory. If they are mutated plants that are contracted..." Ning Yuan gritted his teeth, "Then it would be making wedding dresses for others."
As he spoke, he selected a few earth-type mutants from the team and walked towards the place where Wei Minglang disappeared.
Qin Jin suddenly turned around and looked at the two of them, "Is it possible that..." He looked at the psychics who were still fighting around him, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Not likely," Ning Yuan replied.
"You trust them so much?"
For some reason, Lu Weiyi heard a hint of jealousy in this sentence.
"It's not that I trust them as human beings, but I feel that it is impossible for them to do such a thing in front of you two without being discovered."
Then the matter became even more serious.
Ning Yuan led them in another direction, and finally stood in a battlefield that had just been cleared, "showing the ground from where they left, and then completely disappeared."
Ten minutes ago, there were still psychics and zombies fighting here, which means that the other side might have been confused and left on the battlefield. There are at least 20,000 zombies and psychics here. Finding one among so many, and not sure whether it is human or not, is like looking for a needle in a haystack, especially since they can't even determine the exact time.
Several people turned around and hurried towards the place where Wei Minglang disappeared. After being checked by an earth-type mutant, they came to the same conclusion.
At this time, Lu Xiao, who heard the news, also hurried over with his men.
"I have already had people check the surrounding area, and there is no sign of any human life. Could it be that they have some killer weapon to escape from this inevitable death situation?"
"Not sure, let's look around first." At this time they had no clues and all their ideas were just guesses.
"Then Qin Jin and I will take people to see if there are any traces around. Lu Weiyi will stay behind to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible. Now that the two powerful weapons are gone, it will be faster to clean up," Ning Yuan said.
"Okay," Lu Xiao responded, turned around to look at the team following him, and took out a map from his pocket, "Golden Eagle, lead the team to look in these directions. If there really is someone hiding there, these directions should be the most likely places."
He marked a few locations on the map and handed it to Du Fu to look at.
"I understand." Golden Eagle put away the map, took his team, and after discussing with Ning Yuan and the others, they dispersed in different directions.
Lu Xiao asked the rest of the people to continue investigating clues and followed Lu Weiyi towards the main battlefield. Seeing that his expression was unrecognizable, he was worried that he was angry because the crystal core he had obtained flew away, so he comforted him, "It's okay. There are so many zombies, and they all have the crystal cores in our hands. This trip is not in vain."
Lu Weiyi nodded, but in his heart he was praying that no unexpected situation would occur. He was anxious to return to the base and didn't want to be tripped up by anything.
With Lu Weiyi's joining, it became easier to clear out the zombies. Unfortunately, there were too many people and by the time the battle was over, most of the day had passed.
The injured were waiting for treatment, and the rest of the people were divided into groups to eat and clean up the battlefield. The whole city was busy.
As night fell, the team that was sent out finally returned, bringing them bad news.
"There is a place similar to a laboratory under a cliff two kilometers away from here. There should have been people inside before, but now..."
Lu Weiyi is now extremely disgusted with the changes in the laboratory. In the past few years, they have hardly ever encountered any good things when they came across the laboratory.
"Gone?" Lu Xiao also frowned.
"Yes, judging from the traces at the scene, it was probably last night."
"Can you tell what's inside?" Lu Weiyi asked.
The Golden Eagle shook his head, "It was very simple inside, and they left in such a hurry that they didn't leave anything behind. I saw some zombies inside, and found traces of experiments on them, and there were marks of large instruments on the ground."
"Zombies...experiment" Lu Weiyi took a deep breath, impatience clearly written all over his face.
"Who explored this area before? Didn't they find anything unusual?" Lu Xiao's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Report to the captain," Han Fei stood out from behind the golden eagle with a shy look on his face. He was puzzled, but he still took the initiative to admit, "It's me."
"And me."
"I".
Meng Huan and Ai Ping also stood up from the crowd.
When he saw that it was someone from his team who made such a mistake, he slapped Lu Xiao in the face in public, and his face turned even darker.
Before he could speak, Meng Huan hurriedly said, "Captain, I swear, we are definitely not fooling around. You know us. We really didn't realize there was a laboratory there in the past."
"Indeed not," Ai Ping also said, "That place is halfway up the cliff, and the steps are not even covered. Under normal circumstances, we would never have been able to miss it, but I have no impression of that place at all."
Lu Xiao naturally recognized the people in his team, but it was not convenient for him to say anything at this time. Fortunately, Lu Weiyi stood up and stood directly in front of the three people, reaching out and touching their eyebrows.
"Relax".
As he spoke, his mental power directly probed into the three people's consciousness area, and then found what happened during the patrol in their consciousness. However, the memories of the three people belonging to the patrol seemed to be separated by a hazy veil, and deeper things seemed to be deliberately hidden.
Lu Weiyi raised his eyebrows and looked at everyone else, "Call over all the people who went out with them at that time."
"What happened?" Lu Xiao asked.
Lu Weiyi shook his head and said, "Your memory has been tampered with."
"Altering memories?"
"Can memories be tampered with?"
People around asked in confusion.
"Yes, there were hypnotists before the end of the world, not to mention there are superpowers after the end of the world," Lu Xiao said, looking at Lu Weiyi, "Can people with psychic powers tamper with memories?"
"It should be possible, but I haven't tried it." He often goes out, and his mental power is mostly used as a means of attack. This kind of delicate weaving of memory was done unconsciously during his coma.
"It may be a little uncomfortable, just bear with it." After saying that, his mental power first went to Ai Ping, who was closest to him. The area of consciousness separated by fog was directly brushed by his mental power like a rag wiping glass.
Ai Ping groaned and pressed his head with his hands uncontrollably, but Lu Xiao beside him quickly grabbed him and controlled his hands and feet to prevent him from hurting anyone in this critical moment.
After a while, Lu Weiyi withdrew his mental power, but Ai Ping's condition did not seem to have improved. Many people in the room looked at Lu Weiyi and waited for him to explain, but Lu Weiyi was also looking at Ai Ping, asking him how he felt.
"It seems... a little more..." Ai Ping kept hissing, the veins on his hands pressing on his head were exposed, "A little more memory, a little swollen... I slowly..."
"It's okay, Captain, it's okay."
After a while, Ai Ping took a deep breath and looked at the teammates who had just sworn to him that they would never meet again with a complicated expression. Thinking that he was the same as them just now, he suddenly felt embarrassed.
"What exactly happened?" Lu Xiao asked.
"When we patrolled there before, we found that there were many zombies scattered around, patrolling in a very orderly manner. We thought that Wei Minglang's zombies had built some secret place, so we immediately decided to let Han Fei bring a few people back to report the news, and Meng Huan and I would stay there with the rest of the people."
Ai Ping's words left Han Fei and Meng Huan confused. They had no recollection of this situation and were scratching their heads in bewilderment.
