Chapter 893 The Old Man
Ning Yuan continued to explain to Ji Zheng and had ordered Sun Tao to start the execution.
At this time, Lu Weiyi's mental power had also spread towards the cave entrances. As Ji Zheng said, this place really looked like an escape passage, connecting in all directions. He couldn't see the pattern for a moment. It seemed as if it was not built at random. If he went down like this, he would definitely get lost.
Sun Tao's superpowers started to work quickly. The ground surged and piled up to the side. Soon, a deep ditch was formed connecting the underground passage. After a while, they arrived at the place where the energy was detected, but it was empty and there was no trace of human beings. Instead, there were several superpower crystal cores scattered on the ground.
When Ji Zheng saw it, he couldn't hold back his emotions and jumped down. The moment he stepped on the ground, the air around him seemed to fluctuate. Lu Weiyi immediately protected the others and took a few steps back. The expression on Ji Zheng's face gradually turned into surprise.
At the same time, the ground in the passage surged, and layers of zombies appeared. Zombies also emerged from the mud where they were, and finally surrounded them.
"Xiuyuan?" Ning Yuan shouted at the zombie standing in the front.
Following the line of sight, I saw a very handsome man. Even after turning into a zombie, his face was still stunning.
He glanced at Ning Yuan without responding. He just waved at the zombies around him, and zombies from both sides immediately attacked them.
The members of the Sugar Cube Team immediately took a defensive stance, while the people led by Ji Zheng wanted to jump down to find Ji Zheng, but they didn't know what his situation was at the moment and were worried that he was being besieged by zombies, so they asked Lu Weiyi for help.
Lu Weiyi glanced at Ji Zheng, who was protected by his mental barrier, and was moved by his expression. After considering the consequences of bringing him out or keeping him, he had no choice but to knock him out and drag him out of the zombie group and put him at his feet.
In such a short while, Fang Tang and his group had already started fighting with the zombies, and Ning Yuan went straight to Xiu Yuan.
Just when everyone was slightly dispersing, Lu Weiyi suddenly had a bad premonition. At this moment, he saw something with a metallic luster flash by in Xiuyuan's hand.
"Ningyuan, get out of the way."
As Lu Weiyi's voice fell, Ning Yuan left Xiuyuan at full speed. However, no one expected that his target was not himself, but all the zombies he brought. The surroundings were filled with endless bangs and explosions. After each zombie exploded, a black blood mist would form in the air, and their psychics would slowly fall to the ground in this blood mist.
Before Lu Weiyi could make a decision between playing dead and resisting, Qin Jin had already attacked with his ambushed men. The remaining psychics were controlled by him and ran towards Xiu Yuan. At the same time, explosions occurred around him, and the unconscious psychics were dragged away.
By the time Xiuyuan fell down with a look of panic on his face, the zombies he brought had been slaughtered, and the remaining few had been controlled and isolated.
"This is a standard human bomb, right?" Qin Jin reached out and opened the body of a exploded zombie without any concern for the dirtiness. He saw that his internal organs had completely disappeared, and instead were replaced by explosives containing psychedelic ingredients that had been installed in advance. Once exploded, dust would spread in the air, engulfing all the people and zombies around.
Perhaps because he was also a zombie, he looked particularly annoyed, "Do you know what this powder is?"
Of the mushrooms that can work on both zombies and humans, Lu Weiyi has only seen one kind, the Abyss Mushroom, but it was in the form of gas at the time. As for the powder, he was not sure.
After shaking his head, Qin Jin did not hold on to him, but walked directly towards Xiu Yuan who was under control, "I will interrogate him now."
"Okay," Lu Weiyi responded, and asked Ning Yuan to clean up the situation here. He also walked towards Xiuyuan. His mental power and the unique power of Qin Jin zombies rushed into Xiuyuan's brain at the same time. Even though he was unconscious, Xiuyuan frowned uncomfortably.
His consciousness was invaded by a human and a zombie at the same time. The two of them were unrestrained. The different sources of power made him, a zombie, extremely painful, and also allowed them to quickly lock onto each other's situation.
It was indeed he who took Wei Minglang away. This time in his memory, they finally saw the white-haired but vigorous old man, who was exactly the same impression given by the men in Yue country. He looked extremely elegant and graceful, but this elegance was a little scary when combined with what he did every day, especially when he smiled and said polite words to people to send them to death. Even seeing it from the memory, it was still horrifying.
They had suspected three people before, but in fact the only human being was this old man. The other two were zombies controlled by him. There was no difference between them and humans, which confused the situation.
The first moment they arrived here, they controlled a group of zombies around them and used them for their own purposes, so that they could observe the zombie army closely.
They captured Xiu Yuan in a very planned way after the beginning of spring and transformed him into a zombie that they could control.
At first Xiuyuan was still struggling to resist, but he had undergone surgery on his brain and could not fight back with human strength. After being tortured several times, he accepted his fate and gradually became their accomplice.
Wei Minglang knew about Lu Weiyi and his group's arrival as soon as he knew it. He originally didn't want to have a conflict with him. However, the mutated plants induced by the old man's drugs attacked them uncontrollably, forcing Wei Minglang to fight back.
In the old man's plan, Wei Minglang was already in his pocket, and he was thinking that by taking advantage of this confrontation, he could get two more SSS-level people, one person and one corpse.
But he didn't expect that Lu Weiyi could directly call on tens of thousands of high-level psychics to help him in the end, which made all his plans fail. In the end, he had to take Wei Minglang away to preserve his last strength.
It's a pity that they were unwilling to let go, so they sent Xiuyuan to die. It would be even better if they could kill or injure them at the same time.
After seeing the whole process, Qin Jin and Lu Weiyi didn't know what to say. Fortunately, they knew the general direction in which the old man left.
"Do you want to chase her?" Qin Jin asked.
Lu Weiyi shook his head decisively and said, "I'm in a hurry to go back."
"If you have time, you can send zombies to track him. I will also send the man's portrait to various bases to alert them. I can help you at any time if you need me."
At this point, Lu Weiyi looked at Ji Zheng who was being carried away, "And, I have a feeling that he might be heading towards our base."
"?" Qin Jin was puzzled.
Lu Weiyi didn't tell him that Ji Zheng was asked a lot of questions about the space channel, but he just shook his head and said nothing.
When the eight missing team members were finally found, they had turned into zombies. Ji Zheng was still unconscious. His deputy team leader came to Lu Weiyi and asked if he could inject them with zombie energy-releasing potion.
"Captain Zhuang said that the mission issued by the base is voluntary. Our captain said that he must support you. They all came here voluntarily. They have families and children in the base. Please save them for the sake of everyone's support."
"Base commander, please."
“Please…”
The hundred or so people who came from the original Shanshen base knelt on the ground while talking. Among them were some who were injured in this battle. It was extremely unbearable to watch.
Lu Weiyi stretched out his hand and pressed down to make them stop talking, "If I can save them, I will definitely spare no effort, but they have been transformed into zombies for nine hours, and the medicine has no effect at all."
"We are so sorry, we found out too late."
Suppressed crying sounded in the temporary base and did not stop for a long time.
After clearing the battlefield here, Lu Weiyi began to send everyone back. Xiu Yuan, who was under control, was also sent back, and Ji Zheng, who had woken up, also found a home for the eight zombies.
He couldn't bear to kill the man, so he sent him to Qin Jin, hoping that he would take care of him. If he could regain consciousness, it would be their luck, but if not, no one would force him.
If there was an entire team providing support, it might be possible for a zombie to gradually regain consciousness, but eight...
That was not something an ordinary team could bear. Ji Zheng, who had woken up, looked at them and saw them grimacing at their former teammates. A grown man couldn't stop crying. There were all kinds of people with special abilities who were injured or died this time, but they were the only ones who turned into zombies. It was also because they were plotted against. This made it difficult for him to accept it for a while.
Most of the members who had come here had been sent back to the base by Lu Weiyi. At this time, Ji Zheng and his team members were reluctant to leave.
"Please, please take care of them." Ji Zheng bowed deeply to Qin Jin, and their former teammates did the same.
"Zombies are the prey of the weak, there is no such thing as care. I can only make sure that they won't be eaten by my people, the rest depends on themselves." Qin Jin is not a good man and will not cause trouble for himself.
Seeing that Ji Zheng couldn't hold back his tears, he glanced at the several newly-formed zombies being suppressed by Cheng Qi behind him, "Those above S-level will more or less have some consciousness, and it shouldn't take long for them to reach this level."
After hearing this, the few people finally felt comforted and lined up to prepare to go to the space channel.
He came with high spirits, but his back looked quite desolate when he left, which made people sigh. Gu Qingji, who had once experienced becoming a zombie, felt extremely heavy in his heart, while Antonio hugged Dean tightly beside him.
Knowing that they were being targeted this time, the few of them were not as optimistic as before. Dean looked at Antonio with some emotion and assured him, "If you turn into a zombie, I will raise you and we will still be together."
“……”Antonio.
"Thank you, baby, but that day will never come. I have already applied to the base for our baby, and I have to live to be a father," Antonio said naggingly, and immediately turned to look at Lu Weiyi, "So, Lu, leave me a potion as a backup."
If they had a potion on them, perhaps it could save their lives.
"I'm going to be a father soon. You know, the child can't live without me," Antonio said seriously, and his hand unconsciously touched Dean's belly. If you didn't know, you would think Dean was pregnant.
"The base will try its best to arrange it." Lu Weiyi did not make too many promises. He felt that the possibility of the base having reserves of things he did not even have was very small.
**
After seeing off the people who came from the base, only Lu Weiyi and Qin Jin and a few other zombies were left in the vast surroundings. Cheng Qi and his men harvested a lot of crystal cores in this battle, and Xu Xiao looked much more normal again. In addition, they had eight more zombies following them.
The once lush and green city has been completely reduced to ruins due to the reckless artillery bombardment. The ground is full of potholes and there is not even a trace of green to be seen.
The building was destroyed and all signs of human survival disappeared completely. Lu Weiyi and Qin Jin stood on the ruins for a long time, then set off again towards Laoshan.
Because of the portrait of the old man, Lu Weiyi and Qin Jin adjusted their path and walked towards the base where Su Yan was located - according to him, that was the base closest to the storm belt.
