Chapter 890 Discovery
"Is it this thing? You wouldn't..." Golden Eagle said halfway through his doubtful words, but when he thought that Ning Yuan didn't seem to have this reason, he stopped talking and looked at Lu Weiyi.
"Take it away quickly." Ning Yuan stuffed the section that was constantly emitting energy into Lu Weiyi's hand the next moment. Even though he couldn't see the energy with his naked eyes, it only took a moment for the feeling of the energy squeezing into his body to make him break out in a cold sweat.
If Lu Weiyi had not told him in advance not to touch the limbs of the SSS mutant creatures as they could easily be blown up by their energy, he might not have figured out the reason.
At this moment, I wish I could stay away from this thing.
"It's that banyan tree," Lu Weiyi replied in the affirmative and put this half into the space. The vacuum prolonged the time for energy dissipation as much as possible. If he could bring it back to the base, he could create a new place that would be conducive to improving his supernatural powers.
"Tell me about the situation over there." Lu Weiyi continued to search along the cave with his mental power, while asking Ning Yuan at the same time.
"After Qin Jin and I left, we didn't find any traces around at first, so we thought about searching somewhere a little further away. Unexpectedly, an earth-type mutant felt that there seemed to be signs of passage underground. We followed the underground track and finally saw the unconscious Wei Minglang and the mutant banyan tree that was dragging him along."
"The mutant plants rescued him?" Lu Weiyi found it unbelievable, but when he thought about those people in the base who had contracted with mutant plants, there seemed to be many experiences of mutant plants saving people. Even the last time their base was trapped, it was Gu Qingji's mutant plants that protected Ning Yuan. This proved that the higher the level, the more they could understand, so it made sense for them to save their master.
"Not only that, there is also an SS-level zombie following Wei Minglang."
After the encounter, a fight broke out among the group.
"The mutant banyan tree changed its shape, presenting a completely different form from its original form. If the one we saw before was described as sturdy, then the one it formed after it grew branches was tall and thin." Ning Yuan tried to describe the scene at that time, "It grew out countless slender things like tentacles, and single-handedly blocked the way for all of us to pursue it."
They were surprised by the situation at the time, and having discarded the physical burden that had been unable to absorb energy, the mutated plants had now completely become complete SSS level, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
This left them unable to deal with the two escaped zombies for a while, and in the end it was Qin Jin who played a key role in getting rid of the mutated plant.
"So, it was it that rescued the master?" The golden eagle repeated, and then asked, "Can a high-level mutant plant have such a high IQ?"
"Isn't there another zombie? Maybe it was another zombie that led us."
"Does that mean it has nothing to do with this place?"
"So what is this place for?"
Everyone was talking at once, but Lu Weiyi just felt it was a bit abrupt.
"Can this happen between zombies?" He turned to look at Qin Jin with a skeptical tone, "If you were dying, would Cheng Qi save you?"
"...It depends on the situation," Qin Jin said, "If he is sure that I can't beat him, he will kill me and take the crystal core instead. If he thinks there is a chance that I can survive, he will save me."
"Maybe he can still survive. It's not that easy for an SSS-level zombie to die," Ning Yuan said.
Lu Weiyi and Qin Jin looked at each other. What they said was difficult to deal with was only because they were at a lower level. The level difference was like a child against a mature adult. However, if two adults were fighting, it would not be that difficult.
But his idea made sense. Lu Weiyi did not refute it and controlled his mental power to rotate the entire cave.
The golden eagle was preserved very intact on site and examined carefully, but they had never seen many of the things before. This resulted in them being unable to identify some things with obvious functions and putting them aside as useless.
Lu Weiyi manipulated his mental power to bring the thing directly in front of him, then leaned over to take a look while wearing gloves.
Everyone's eyes gathered together, and they saw that what appeared in front of him was a pile of human bones, or to be more specific, zombie bones. The flesh on the zombies' bodies had been completely peeled off, and the remaining bones were slightly dark gray. The empty eye sockets looked no different from those of humans, but instead gave people the illusion that they were still human.
These bones are not complete, and it is obvious that they have been treated violently. Clear damage can be seen on each of them. Some only have the upper half left, some only have a cheek, and some only have the skull left. Of course, most of them are broken into small pieces and powder.
Lu Weiyi handed Antonio a pair of special gloves and said, "Recreate a few of them."
"There's a military doctor among the people I lead. He should be good at this. I'll ask him to come and do it." After saying this, Jin Diao was about to call for help, but Ning Yuan grabbed him and waved his hand, "Don't worry, there will be no problem leaving it to him."
Antonio put on gloves on his hands and smiled at him. The golden eagle immediately remembered the occupation of the man under investigation and shut up silently.
The things in the cave had been cleaned up. Lu Weiyi walked towards the stairs again. Ning Yuan followed him and said to others who wanted to follow, "Don't come. Keep an eye on us in case there are any who have not been discovered."
Antonio made a reassuring gesture to them and continued to fiddle with a pile of skulls with his head down. The Golden Eagle and his companions originally wanted to follow, but after hearing this, they stood aside vigilantly. Qin Jin ignored them and followed the two of them directly.
"Do you still suspect that it is related to this place?" Ning Yuan walked in front of Lu Weiyi to explore the way and asked the person behind him.
"What a coincidence! Golden Eagle said that the people here left yesterday. It was a planned evacuation, not in a hurry at all. He even had the leisure to set some traps for them and hide some of his tracks."
Just by looking at the things he left behind, Lu Weiyi felt that it was impossible for the other party to leave so easily, especially since he clearly saw so many controlled zombies from Ai Ping's memory.
Just as Lu Weiyi was thinking this, Ning Yuan had already jumped into the cave on the cliff. The entrance of the cave was narrow and could only accommodate two people at most. After walking a few meters, there was a big turn that blocked the wind coming in. Inside were the torches left behind by Golden Eagle and his companions. The flickering flames gave the whole cave a sense of weirdness.
Even without torches, the three of them could see the surrounding situation clearly, but this dim environment could easily make people feel nervous. Lu Weiyi took out several high-wattage incandescent lamps from the space and put one in each of their hands, directly illuminating the entire cave as bright as day.
"Mingxu, you really give all the good things to me." Ning Yuan flicked the light bulb and looked around like holding a lantern, trying not to miss any inch of it.
Qin Jin observed it carefully and found that it was the same as the instrument Lu Weiyi had taken out before. There was a thin layer of gelatinous film on the surface of the light bulb, which wrapped the entire light bulb tightly like a waterproof film. "Is this thing that can resist the damage of radiation to the instrument?"
"When we say the instruments are damaged, it's actually because some important components inside can't withstand this intensity of radiation. We have opened various instruments that were damaged and scrapped by radiation before and found that only a little was damaged. This is mainly because the manufacturing industry is now in decline," Ning Yuan explained.
"Can't we just cover them all with this thing?"
"You think this thing is good? This..." Ning Yuan shook his head and sighed, "We don't even use this kind of light bulb when we go out. How rare do you think it is?"
Qin Jin turned his head to look at Lu Weiyi and saw Ning Yuan laughing, "Don't you know Mingxu? You can get anything that is available in the base from our team captain."
This blatant and open preference made Lu Weiyi raise his eyebrows, with a hint of tenderness in the corners of his eyes.
Qin Jin fell silent. He thought about Yin Jin and suddenly felt that he was really inadequate. Thinking of what Antonio said before, he suddenly asked, "Is Yin Jin working with Ming Xu?"
"At first, he was Mingxu's secretary. Later, his uncle and aunt came to our base and were placed in an orphanage by Mingxu. His uncle had special abilities and worked as a security guard there, while his aunt was an ordinary person and worked as a childcare teacher. Qin Jin suddenly applied to be the director there."
"Later, we thought that maybe he knew that your parents wanted the child to get in touch with them." At this point, Ning Yuan was also a little puzzled, "I remember that Yin Jin grew up with you. Why don't your uncle and aunt seem to know him?"
"Yin Jin didn't have this name before, and he was weak when he was a child, which is completely different from what he is now."
"No wonder. He has been in the orphanage since then. Until civil unrest broke out in the base, he was transferred to Mingxu's side again to help, and he has been there ever since."
"Beside him..."
"Look what this is?"
Qin Jin hesitated for a while and was about to ask if there was a new person around Yin Jin when he heard Lu Weiyi suddenly speak.
Ning Yuan's attention was immediately diverted, and he strode towards where Lu Weiyi was. He saw Lu Weiyi standing in a small cave on the side, looking up at the broken soil falling from the wall above his head, as if something was inside and was about to break out of the ground at any time.
"What is that?" Ning Yuan pulled Lu Weiyi back a step and looked up vigilantly.
Lu Weiyi patted his arm to indicate that it was safe, and a moment later a green branch as thin as cotton thread tied to another instrument came out of the wall.
"This is the cave where Ai Ping and the others were imprisoned. They said that they fainted after entering and woke up outside with no memory."
Ning Yuan reached out to take it, and saw that unlike the single individual they had discovered before, this one was connected to something else.
He immediately stepped forward and used his special powers to carefully pry open the wall, revealing a spray bottle inside. If he shook it carefully, he could hear the sound of liquid inside.
Little Green Branch continued to wander around the cave, and finally found these two devices in different locations.
Ning Yuan and Qin Jin both took a closer look, suspecting that this thing might be used in combination. "Let someone study the ingredients inside, maybe we can find something."
The three of them continued to walk around the cave for a few more times. Little Green Branch continued to wander along the cave wall and the ground beneath their feet. This time, they discovered something even more horrifying. There was only a thin layer of soil under their feet, and underneath there were densely packed zombie corpses.
Lu Weiyi controlled the small green branch to dig a few bodies and then stopped, "Call an earth-type mutant over here, there are so many of them underneath that they are too dense to count."
Ning Yuan immediately turned around and called for help. With the addition of the earth-type ability users, they soon dug out everything from underground. The cave was so full of piled up corpses that it couldn't even hold them all.
There were no other discoveries here, so Lu Weiyi had the bones brought to the ground, shocking everyone who was waiting.
At this time, Antonio's skulls had been pieced together into two. He whistled and called Lu Weiyi over, "I'll give you a surprise."
