Chapter 891 Xiu Yuan
He pointed to the two skulls that were spliced together. The cracks and traces of splicing could be clearly seen on them. Lu Weiyi even felt that if he reached out to touch them, they would likely break at any time. However, in the two skulls, he could actually see an identical and neat wound.
Antonio held a small metal stick in his hand that looked like a pointer and pointed it at the back of the other person's skull. "This part was cut open by a machine, and the cracks are neat. Other places were smashed violently. Does it look familiar to you?"
Controlling zombies was a secret kept secret in the base. It was something Lu Weiyi had mentioned to various bases during a meeting before Golden Eagle and the others parted ways. No one else had seen what it was like, but Antonio, who followed Lu Weiyi, did not feel unfamiliar with it. He saw the situation clearly when the skulls were pieced together.
"Is it an old friend?" Antonio asked eagerly.
"Do others consider you a friend?" Lu Weiyi looked at him strangely. "Have you been in the base for too long? Do you want to stir up some trouble?"
When Antonio heard this, he didn't deny it and burst into laughter.
Lu Weiyi sent one of them into the space and told Zhuang Mingxu about the situation. He asked him to compare the methods with those of the zombies that were controlled in the base, and also sent back a portion of the potion that he had just taken out.
[I will investigate it thoroughly.] Zhuang Mingxu replied quickly and also gave another suggestion, [After returning, investigate the zombie that took Wei Minglang away. Is it possible that he is one of the zombies controlled in the laboratory?]
This guess suddenly made Lu Weiyi's mind, which had always felt that something was wrong, clear up.
This explains why such a research laboratory appears here. For a laboratory that studies how to control zombies, isn’t the best place to do this among a pile of zombies?
The countless zombies here happen to be the experimental materials in their hands. Maybe they can even take on the SSS-level zombie, who just happens to catch them when they take action, and they can take advantage of the situation by covering up.
Lu Weiyi cursed in his heart, and then he saw Zhuang Mingxu's message coming again, "Check everyone to see if anyone else's memory has been tampered with. Remind your uncle to be on guard around, maybe they haven't left."
Instead, they hid in the surroundings, waiting to deal them a fatal blow at any time.
After all, there is an SSS-level zombie and an SSS-level psychic in their team.
Lu Weiyi felt like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake. He exhaled deeply and looked at Qin Jin. Qin Jin looked at him with a puzzled look and then turned to the information in his hand.
Lu Weiyi handed it over, Qin Jin and Ning Yuan looked at it at the same time, and their faces changed.
"Antonio, you stay and..."
"Everyone return," Lu Weiyi interrupted Ning Yuan's order, "I will send these back to the base and let them find clues."
Now they are not clear about the other party's methods, and dispersing is tantamount to giving the other party an opportunity.
Ning Yuan quickly understood and agreed immediately, and immediately went to get everyone together. Only the Golden Eagle listened to their conversation as if they were guessing a riddle. He looked at the people around him who were quickly getting busy and asked Lu Weiyi in confusion what he had discovered.
Lu Weiyi took Ai Ping and Golden Eagle back to the cave, wanting to check it one last time. He told him something he hadn't said before, "I mentioned before that someone is researching how to control zombies. This should be a base. There are a lot of strange research in their laboratory, and it can even allow ordinary people to have abilities similar to those of psychics. The instrument discovered before should be one of them."
The abilities Qi Le displayed at the beginning made people in both bases think that he, an ordinary person, was actually a high-level psychic. This shows the power of those things. In addition, this time Lu Weiyi also fell into the trap without making any noise, so they naturally became more vigilant.
The two men walked around the place they had been in and found nothing else, so they left the cave. They had been busy for most of the night and the sky was already turning pale.
The golden eagle stood on the suspended iron ladder and looked down, and suddenly asked, "Should we go down and take a look?"
Lu Weiyi turned around and followed his gaze downwards. From a height of several dozen meters, he could see the dense jungle below, and could not see the situation clearly at the bottom.
It was completely different from the appearance of a corpse lying face up on the bare ground in the illusion.
"We should take a look. Under normal circumstances, this height is partly to prevent attacks, and also to throw any useless waste down immediately and be done with it. It's a good place to destroy all traces, and who knows what new discoveries may be made," Ai Ping agreed.
"Then let's go down." There's no rush to go back anyway.
After saying hello to Ning Yuan and the others, Lu Weiyi led Qin Jin, Jin Diao and the others down the steep slope from one side of the mountain.
With the help of an earth-type ability user, people can still descend smoothly despite the steep slope.
Qin Jin was in front, and Lu Weiyi followed behind. In order to avoid any deviation, everyone was extremely vigilant along the way. Fortunately, they arrived at the foot of the mountain safely.
Compared with the surrounding area on the mountain that has been specially cleaned up, this place is full of original ecology, with weeds and trees that don’t seem to have been rested at all, and are so lush and green that you will be completely submerged in it in an instant when you walk in it.
There were dewdrops between the trees in the early morning, which soon soaked the clothes. Coupled with the gradually rising temperature of the weather, the heat made the group fall silent soon.
There were many mutant animals roaming in the mountains, passing by them from time to time. Some looked at them curiously, while others attacked directly. The few of them tried to deal with them a few times, but when they looked around, they felt that this was not the way to go.
"Or else, why not just use your supernatural powers to clear out the trees and grass here? With these mutated animals around, I'm afraid there won't be any traces left."
"Okay, the most important thing right now is to hurry back," Lu Weiyi said as he used his mental power to search the surroundings. Indeed, he did not find anything, so he made way for them to move.
The moment the metal-type ability user cut down the entire patch of weeds and trees, the wood-type ability user immediately took action and within a moment of disappearing, the skylight that was covered by the trees leaked out.
The small animals living in the forest looked up in surprise and then fled in all directions.
There were only foot-high weed roots left on the ground. Although it was quite uncomfortable to walk on, one could see everything around at a glance.
Ai Ping was right, this was indeed a good place to destroy the body.
The bones they dug out from the bottom of the cave were nothing compared to what was here. The bones here were piled up like a mountain. The ones at the bottom should be more than several months old, and you could still see clean clothes and flesh at the top.
Lu Weiyi also found several familiar faces that he had seen in Ai Ping's memory before. Ai Ping should have recognized them. After going forward to check, he showed the heads of several zombies to Lu Weiyi.
They were all missing a piece of skull from the back of their heads, and the brain matter inside was all over the place, making them look extremely disgusting.
Most of the zombies here were missing a piece of their heads, as if it had been taken away on purpose. Lu Weiyi was unwilling to get close to the mountain of corpses, but Golden Eagle led his men to carefully check it out, and finally he actually found a few remaining black chip-like substances.
It was tightly stuck to the skull and covered with black blood, making it difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. If the golden eagle and its crew had not taken direct action, it would have been missed.
"Is this the controller?" The golden eagle wiped it carefully, but it had been stuck for too long and it was still unclear what it looked like.
"They look exactly the same, let someone check it out."
After making sure that there were no missed clues in the surrounding area, Lu Weiyi led everyone back to the city. After two days of cleaning, the remnants of the war had been basically cleared up.
Lu Xiao asked them and after knowing what happened, he also told them about the new discoveries here.
Leading Lu Weiyi to a small building that was only half left after being attacked by artillery fire, Lu Weiyi saw an ordinary environment inside, just like the one before the end of the world. Family photos were hung on the wall, and all kinds of household items were available. Except for the destruction caused by the battle, this place looked like a place where ordinary people lived.
Just when he was about to ask Lu Xiao what he was doing here, Ai Ping, who followed them in, pointed at the photo on the wall and said in surprise, "I seem to have seen this person in the laboratory that day."
"?" Lu Weiyi turned his head to look at him, but Lu Xiao didn't look surprised at all and motioned for him to continue.
"I said before that those zombies suddenly appeared out of control and wanted to attack us, but then they fell to the ground and twitched. Someone came and took them away and replaced them with a new group. The person in charge was him," Ai Ping recalled the scene at that time.
Even though the man was covered tightly and didn't get close to them at all, but just hid in the dark and gave orders to other zombies, Ai Ping and his companions were all soldiers, and they would know every detail of the unfamiliar place, let alone a person.
"It was he who brought the zombies here and escorted us back into the cave, and took away the twitching zombies on the ground," Ai Ping said, looking at Meng Huan behind him.
Meng Huan squeezed in from the end of the crowd, took a look and nodded, "It's him. He had a small bun on the back of his head and was wearing a sports cap. I thought that length should be ear-length if it was let down."
"He is indeed a zombie controlled by the laboratory." Lu Xiao confirmed their answer and handed over a notebook.
Lu Weiyi opened it, and Qin Jin took the lead and came forward.
There was only one name on the first page, written in clear and elegant handwriting: Xiuyuan.
Just from the name, you can imagine what kind of person this is. Combined with the artistic man in the photo, and thinking about the fact that he is already a zombie, I suddenly feel pity.
He and Wei Minglang were classmates. After the apocalypse, they met and formed their own team of superpowers. However, they were plotted against and eventually became zombies.
When he regained consciousness, the base had been destroyed, and he had been fed by Wei Minglang with crystal cores to become S-level. After that, they worked together to continue feeding their former teammates with crystal cores, and finally used crystal cores to stimulate them to become SS-level, and everyone awakened their consciousness.
What follows is a description of their current life. Except for the need to adapt to some instincts of zombies, their lives are no different from before.
After that, it was blank for a long time, with only a row of ellipsis marks appearing occasionally, as if something had happened.
Until the beginning of spring, a turning point appeared. Xiuyuan said that from now on he would become a complete puppet and would no longer belong to himself.
The meaning of these words was too suggestive, but no further information was left.
