Chapter 888: Tacit Understanding Overturned
There were only sad cries on both sides. At this moment, they had all forgotten the purpose of coming here. Some of them supported each other and walked down into the valley.
"I'm going to collect the captain's body."
"I can't save him, but I can't leave him here alone."
"There are wolves in the mountains, we can't let them die."
"Yes, let's go down the mountain."
A few people looked at each other and ended the discussion in an excited manner. They turned around and walked towards the steep slope on the other side. Lu Weiyi stayed where he was without moving.
"Base commander, aren't you going?" Sun Kai looked at him with disbelief and anger, as if Lu Weiyi's choice was unacceptable.
Before Lu Weiyi could speak, the gentle Ai Ping said with red eyes, "Base Commander, let's bring the deputy team leader back."
"If the deputy captain hadn't stepped on the road, you would have been in trouble," Meng Huan was filled with indignation.
I don’t know if it has something to do with their superpowers, but these two aggressive superpower users, no matter how they behave normally, now show a side that they can explode at any time.
"Oh, even if there is danger, we will go there by ourselves. It is a shame for our base that someone like you who doesn't care about the life and death of your teammates has become the base leader," Sun Kai scolded angrily.
"I didn't expect you to be such a person. I really misjudged you." Meng Huan's eyes were full of disappointment.
Ai Ping wanted to say something to ease the situation, but Sun Kai held him back and said, "Let's go. He doesn't consider us as his teammates at all. He has such powerful abilities and is clearly capable of saving the deputy captain, but he watched him fall."
"That's right. The distance was so close that even if he had stretched out his hand, he could have grabbed the person, but he didn't move at all."
Lu Weiyi said nothing, and the two began to condemn in unison. Lu Weiyi looked at the body of the golden eagle in the valley again, clicked his tongue impatiently, and asked, "What time did we come out?"
“?” Meng Huan.
"..."Sun Kai.
"...at night..." Ai Ping said uncertainly, "a quarter past nine."
He looked around, confusion in his eyes, "Is it daybreak already?"
Sun Kai and Meng Huan were also stunned for a moment.
"Didn't we meet on the road..." Sun Kai seemed to be recalling something, but couldn't seem to remember it. He closed his eyes and pinched his eyebrows.
Meng Huan slapped him directly in the face. This sudden action made Lu Weiyi a little surprised, but fortunately the effect was obvious. He suddenly asked the three people in front of him, "Where is Han Fei? Where are the others?"
"Why are there only four of us left?"
"What are you talking about? We are going to look for the deputy captain's body..."
Before Sun Kai could finish his words, Meng Huan stepped forward and punched him in the face with such force that Sun Kai fell to the ground. Lu Weiyi wondered if there was some grudge between the two of them, and he took the opportunity to retaliate.
"Fuck..." Sun Kai covered his face and spat out a mouthful of blood foam, then stood up with a hissing sound in pain.
Ai Ping also looked around, and saw that the surroundings, which were as bright as day, were silent. The four of them were standing abruptly on the edge of the cliff, and the so-called corpse of the golden eagle in the valley had disappeared.
"Captain, what's going on?"
The three of them moved at the same time, standing in a circle around Lu Weiyi, protecting him in the middle, and asking while being on guard all around.
"It's an illusion, right?" Lu Weiyi thought of the illusion Qin Jin and the others had fallen into before, but the method to break it was...
"I'll look around to see if there are any clues."
"I'm going too."
Perhaps it was because of what he had just said that made him feel a little embarrassed facing Lu Weiyi. After Sun Kai finished speaking, he raised his foot and prepared to walk forward. Meng Huan responded and immediately planned to walk in another direction.
Before the two of them could even take a step forward, they were grabbed by Lu Weiyi, "Have you forgotten where we were before?"
"On...the cliff."
"We are on the cliff now. It's okay. I'll watch. We will definitely not fall down." Having said that, he looked into the valley again and made sure that there was no golden eagle's corpse below. He breathed a sigh of relief and his clenched fists clenched unconsciously.
"Who can guarantee that what we see before our eyes is real?"
Ai Ping's words made Meng Huan and Sun Kai stand still again, just looking around for suspicious things. Meng Huan still asked worriedly, "Base Commander, what we experienced was all fake, right? The deputy captain..."
"I don't know." Lu Weiyi was thinking completely based on his experience at this time. Just like last time, he didn't feel anything interfering with his consciousness and thinking, but the scene in front of him was indeed different. If there weren't too many loopholes, he might not have noticed it.
"It must be fine. That old bastard Jin Diao is very cunning." Sun Kai didn't know whether he was comforting them or talking to himself, "But what about the others?"
"Perhaps only four people can be trapped here." Ai Ping had calmed down by now. He tried to recall everything that had happened, and finally looked at Lu Weiyi. "Base Commander, among the four of us, you have never moved from beginning to end. If we follow the direction you are in, can we sense a safe path?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head and told Qin Jin and the others about the situation they encountered last time. "It may affect our five senses, so it is very likely that our judgment is not accurate. What's more important is..."
"I have a very poor sense of direction, and eighty percent of the location I tell you is a guess."
"..."Sun Kai.
“……”Meng Huan.
The two of them thought at the same time that it was a miracle that they were able to reunite with Lu Weiyi smoothly after being separated in Laoshan last time. What's more important is that this man, as a base commander, said such words in front of the team members without showing any embarrassment at all.
"Base commander, don't you think these words will affect your prestige?" Meng Huan asked without much explanation.
Lu Weiyi pursed his lips and glanced at the three of them, "How old are you and how old am I?"
These people are all following Lu Xiao, and the youngest one is much older than Lu Weiyi. In this situation, he should not be the one to be ashamed.
Sun Kai was embarrassed, kicked Meng Huan, and whispered to him that she was too talkative.
Ai Ping changed the subject, "How did you get out last time?"
"Qin Jin used up all his supernatural powers to burn the mountain and get out," Lu Weiyi said, and then he saw three people looking at him at the same time, and then turned their eyes away at the same time.
It's not that they don't want Lu Weiyi to do the same, but they are out in the wilderness right now. Lu Weiyi is the most powerful person among them. If he uses up all his special powers at this moment, and if something unexpected happens, the remaining three people may not be able to cope with it.
"Why don't I give it a try?" Meng Huan laughed, "After all, he is an S-level psychic. Although he is not as good as Qin Jin, he should not be that bad."
"Do you have super powers?" Ai Ping asked.
"I..." Ai Ping sensed it and said dejectedly, "No."
"You have," Lu Weiyi said affirmatively.
"But I..."
"You have super powers, but there is something here that affects your judgment and makes you think you don't have super powers. Your super powers do exist," Lu Weiyi explained seriously to the three people, "My super powers are not affected at all. Even if the super power jammer in our base is not very effective on me, it will still have a certain impact."
"Now that I don't feel anything, it only means that there is nothing around that can affect our superpowers. It is your own thoughts that make you feel that you have no superpowers."
The three of them were not stupid. They immediately understood Lu Weiyi's recklessness and even sensed it. After a while, a hint of joy gradually appeared on their faces.
"My super powers are really still there."
“Mine wasn’t affected either.”
"Me too"
All three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then I'll burn the mountain too," Meng Huan immediately became excited.
"Wait a minute," Lu Weiyi said, taking out an energy detector from the space, turning it on and scanning the surroundings.
"Has our base developed an instrument that can be used outdoors? I saw someone using this thing to detect the location of zombies on the battlefield before, and I thought it was just a matter of numbers again." Sun Kai came forward curiously and saw that the instrument itself was no different from the one used before, except that it was wrapped in a thin film like a waterproof bag. He saw the essence of it at a glance, "Is this thing able to isolate electronic products from the impact of external radiation?"
"I haven't been back to the base yet. Do you think I know?" While Lu Weiyi was speaking, the surrounding energy distribution was displayed on the instrument screen.
There was nothing in front of them, but behind them there were energy balls scattered in groups of four not far away.
This is enough to prove that the real cliff is in front of us, and the real safe place is behind us. This discovery made those who wanted to wander around just now break out in cold sweats.
After a while, the instrument displayed the distribution of surrounding superpowers.
“This amount…”
Ai Ping looked at the other two and couldn't help laughing.
"Isn't that our poor deputy captain here?" Meng Huan pointed to a lonely ball of energy light a little below them.
"I wonder how the deputy captain feels standing on the dilapidated stairs now? Will you tell me next time to save your superpowers?" Sun Kai said, and then asked Lu Weiyi if there was any way to get the person up first, "What if he doesn't notice and moves a little bit, it will be terrible."
Among the three of them, one is in the metal element, one is in the fire element, and the other is in the water element. If their superpowers are used at this time, there is a greater possibility that they will attack people. They can only look to Lu Weiyi for help.
Lu Weiyi closed his eyes and stretched out the small green branch, staring at the location of the energy ball, but he didn't feel like he was touching anything at all.
Just as he was thinking about taking it back, the little green branch was suddenly attacked by something. He lashed out like a conditioned reflex, and then the ball of light on the screen moved away from them.
"Fuck!" Lu Weiyi couldn't help but swear.
The remaining three people's expressions changed instantly. They wanted to use their special powers to help, but they were worried that they might end up making things worse.
Only Ai Ping stretched out his hand and condensed a Water Cube dozens of meters in front of him. His face looked grim, but he tried to remain calm, "It's okay, we can definitely hold it off."
At this time, the little green branch was already chasing in the direction of the fall. Regardless of whether it felt like it was touched or not, he directly weaved a vine net in a farther place.
Just when the net was formed, something heavy fell on it. Lu Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief and controlled the little green branch back to the ground. The four of them stared at the ball of light on the display screen that appeared beside them, and their held breath slowly recovered.
"I was scared to death." Sun Kai wiped his forehead, his hand full of cold sweat.
Lu Weiyi also felt the same way, which made him feel anxious. If other people couldn't see through the illusion and encountered an accident again, they might not be able to avoid it.
He kept zooming in on the screen in front of him and resetting the data values until all the light clusters that looked like psychics disappeared. He then looked at the three people beside him and asked, "Want to take a gamble?"
"What?"
"The illusion needs to be supported by superpowers. We attack all the superpowers displayed around us from high to low, and we can always filter them out."
It's a bit stupid, but they know very little about this thing now, so they can only try their luck.
"But we can't be sure of the location of other people around us, and unnecessary casualties may occur." Judging from their behavior of rescuing the golden eagle just now, they just can't see the other party, which doesn't mean that the other party is not there. If they attack, they can still hurt them.
The three of them looked at each other, and finally Sun Kai made a decision with a grim face, "Let's do it, let's fight quickly and decisively, even if there are injured, there will be time to call for medical treatment."
"Yes, base commander, you are responsible for maintaining the supernatural command, and we will go ahead," Meng Huan responded.
Ai Ping also nodded in agreement. After grouping the energy groups according to the information displayed on the instrument, the three of them immediately attacked in the corresponding directions.
Lu Weiyi operated the instrument and the data on it was refreshed again and again, but they could not see any changes around them, and Lu Weiyi began to feel uneasy.
Meanwhile, in places he couldn't see, the illusions that the people gathered in groups around him were falling into gradually dissipated. Some of those who were sober but still addicted, after a little relief, understood the situation before them.
And in front of them, it was no longer the different scenes they had seen, but the situation when they reached the cliff. The only difference was that some of those who were still in the illusion were fighting each other, some had already used their supernatural powers on each other, and some who were sober were looking around vigilantly, but it seemed that they could not see anyone else.
The blood of injured people in the air attracted many mutant predators. Some of them had already begun to attack the psychics, but the psychics could feel the pain but could not see their targets. Their random resistance even caused their team to fall into chaos.
"What is going on? What should we do?" someone asked someone who had also left the illusion.
"They must have fallen into the illusion like us before, firing flares to seek guidance," one of the team leaders said, and asked the others, "Do you know how you got out?"
The person who replied “I don’t know” looked ashamed and said, “I didn’t even notice the illusion.”
"We also got out inexplicably," a voice from another group nearby fell, and then another group of people looked around blankly, with a look of confusion on their faces.
He waved at them and saw that they were looking at him, "They are coming out too."
"It should be the attack from the base commander's side that is taking effect." The person who spoke at the beginning pointed to Lu Weiyi's position. The people inside could not see outside, but those who had left the illusion could see clearly what they were doing. Compared with some people who behaved differently, the five people on their side behaved particularly differently.
Lu Weiyi was holding some instrument and sliding it to give commands while the other three attacked. The golden eagle that he dragged to his side understood the situation the moment it was pulled up. Instead of finding a way out by himself, he felt that since he was placed here, it should be safe. Even though in his eyes he seemed to be sitting directly in mid-air, he closed his eyes, pretending that he knew nothing, and waited for rescue.
The others also looked over there and saw Sun Kai maneuvering the dagger and attacking a team member with special abilities directly. Given his level and the unguarded team members, the consequences would be disastrous if he went over there.
"Help, they can't see each other," someone shouted immediately.
Different superpowers blocked the attack at the same time. The water-type superpower's ice wall made an ice shield in front of the superpower team members, the earth-type superpower controlled the land to move the people away, and another metal-type superpower directly deflected Sun Kai's flying knife from its position.
"Base Commander, I feel like someone is using super powers to block my attack." Sun Kai, who was extremely sensitive to super powers, immediately felt the feeling coming from the other side and looked at Lu Weiyi with surprise, "Could it be someone around here?"
Lu Weiyi reset the instrument and found that compared to the previous group of four, there were now more than 20 people gathered in one place.
"It seems that our method is correct, but it has not been cracked by us yet." Meng Huan was also very excited.
"I don't know if they can see us or hear us talking." Sun Kai thought of this and shouted directly towards the place where the energy gathered, "Brothers, attack the surrounding areas with strong energy."
"I heard it," the person who spoke at the beginning said with a look of disgust, "He's such an idiot, I don't know how the major general picked him."
He curled his lips and divided the people gathered around him into two groups. He said to half of them, "You guys be on guard against the people inside to prevent them from hurting their own people. If you can't control them... find a way to tie them up."
"The rest of the people should attack from the places with high superpowers to the lower places. Pay attention and see if there are any strange things."
"Strange?"
"It could be a mutated animal, a mutated plant, or something else. Anyway, I think all the strange things can be brought here for us to see."
"clear".
Everyone responded and took action immediately. At this time, they could see the difference between a properly trained team and an ordinary team. Compared to those who couldn't react, they accepted the current situation more quickly and engaged in a new round of battle more quickly.
With a command, the positions of a group of people on the instrument changed rapidly. Seeing this scene, Lu Weiyi felt a little more at ease.
After receiving the response, Sun Kai and his companions became more motivated.
After more than ten minutes, someone led a team running towards this side from a distance. They were the people sent by Lu Xiao after seeing the distress signal flare.
At this time, there were only five people left in the team who were still trapped in the illusion, and these twenty people were the ones with the strongest superpowers in the team. They all discovered that something was wrong and were looking for a solution, which resulted in them easily hurting the other team with their superpowers.
Such incidents were avoided only because of someone blocking in the middle. However, their abilities were stronger than those of the people behind them, and the abilities they displayed in a hurry made them overwhelmed, and they gradually began to become stretched.
Antonio, the team leader, was stunned for a moment when he saw this situation, then he immediately asked what was going on and asked, "Tie them up and leave the area."
"No, we've tried tying them up before. I think they can't see anything, and after being tied up, they will fight back with all their might, which will cause more injuries to the people around them."
Just as Antonio was thinking about what to do, he heard someone from the team clearing the surrounding energy shout, "Come and see, what is this?"
Antonio strode over and saw that the other party was holding a zombie crystal core in his hand. There was nothing unusual about it, but the half-burned plastic instrument attached to the zombie crystal core looked particularly abrupt.
"Zombie crystal core? I think I saw one just now, but there didn't seem to be anything stuck on it," someone else said after seeing it.
"Where is it? Let me see," Antonio asked.
The person who spoke immediately took it out of his pocket and said embarrassedly, "I was thinking of handing it in after I'm finished."
"No need to explain, everyone trusts you." Antonio patted the man on the shoulder and spoke sincerely about trust in his foreign accent, which made some people in the team who had ulterior motives feel embarrassed and started talking about their discoveries.
Looking at it this way, at least seven or eight were found around. Antonio calculated their positions and asked them to stop attacking.
He looked at Sun Kai and others who were immersed in minesweeping in front of him, touched his chin, manipulated the metal to form a large "Pavilion" character, and slowly approached Lu Weiyi.
"What does this mean?" someone asked Antonio in confusion.
"Oh, I told them to stop it."
"But... this word is, wrong, right?"
Antonio waved his hands and looked indifferent, "We have a very good understanding with the captain, I believe he will understand what I mean soon."
Of course, he was too embarrassed to tell everyone that his Chinese writing was limited and he really couldn't piece it together.
Amidst the looks of "I see", the metal words slowly moved towards Lu Weiyi. However, at the moment of contact, Lu Weiyi suddenly took a step back, and the small green branches on his body immediately weaved a net and slapped the metal words.
The words hanging in the air at half a person's height flew directly towards Antonio and his group, and were caught by Antonio.
"Understanding?" someone asked in a teasing voice.
But Antonio's relaxed expression disappeared. He ignored the snickers of the people around him, waved his hand, changed the font to "stop", and headed in the direction of the other three people.
Fortunately, when Ai Ping was using the water system to cover it, he recognized the font and immediately asked the other two to stop.
"It's a foreign language, Base Commander, do you want to try it?" Sun Kai asked Lu Weiyi after confirming.
Lu Weiyi suspected that it was Antonio. After all, no one else would do such a thing. He controlled the small green branches to move forward. The small green branches surrounded and finally formed clear handwriting, followed by the word "I", which made Lu Weiyi breathe a sigh of relief.
"Support is here, let's take a break." He pushed the instrument in his hand forward, and after a moment, the instrument disappeared from their sight.
Antonio, who took the instruments away, did not order people to attack those places again. Instead, he directly ordered the earth-type mutants to screen every place carefully. Finally, he found four complete instruments whose functions could not be identified. The crystal core in the middle looked like something that provided energy, exactly the same as the ones they had seen before.
After they sent the things away, the situation of the other groups in front of them was alleviated, but in the end, Lu Weiyi and Golden Eagle couldn't find them no matter what.
