Chapter 899 Peace
"Base Commander, you're looking for me?"
"Yes, are all the psychics of the base army here?" Lu Weiyi glanced at all the people who followed him.
"There are still a few people on the front line with the original team. Do we need to mobilize them all here?" Xing Zhou didn't know what he was going to do, so he explained in detail.
There is no difference whether there are more or less people. Lu Weiyi shook his head and said, "Take everyone to seal off the entire base with supernatural powers. No matter what happens, no one is allowed to leave the base. If anyone breaks in, they will be killed on the spot without reporting."
"Yes!" Xing Zhou stood at attention and said loudly.
The person who had been in charge of communication suddenly turned to Lu Weiyi and said, "Base commander, the communication is cut off. We have lost contact with the team on the front line."
"Got it." Lu Weiyi's voice fell, and threads of mental power surged in all directions. In the dark night, the scene of the entire base came into his field of vision. He did not forget to say to Xing Zhou, "Cooperate with the base's protective shield and execute it now."
"Understood." Xing Zhou waved his hand and took all the psychics away.
Lu Weiyi's mental power also locked onto all teams at the fastest speed.
"If you have any problem, come find me at the government affairs hall," Lu Weiyi said to the correspondent and disappeared from the spot.
As reported, the entire base has fallen into chaos. Except for the collapsed laboratory which is under the control of the base army, and the people in the back mountain who are resisting the zombie army, all other places have been occupied by zombies.
At this point it was impossible to tell the source of the incident. What was visible was a huge fight between psychics and zombies, and many of these so-called zombies were transformed from residents of the base.
Even the battle-hardened teams could not withstand such premeditated destruction, especially since many of the converted people included their comrades who had fought together with them just a few minutes ago. In addition, many people in these teams knew of Qin Jin's existence and knew that zombies might regain consciousness. This made some people who were reluctant to take action think that the other party might still have a chance of recovery. Not only did they not take action themselves, they even stopped others.
Strangling zombies and controlling zombies, everyone knows that the latter is more difficult. This makes things that should have been easily solved become increasingly difficult to control. At this point it is no longer a melee between humans and zombies. Everyone may be an opponent, and everyone may be a helper.
Lu Xi went to the side of the bombed laboratory with a new type of protective shield and wrapped the entire laboratory again. With the temporary wall built by the earth-type mutant, the smell was alleviated a lot. Lu Xi was supporting his mental barrier as much as possible in the hope of blocking the smell from spreading.
This method has indeed reduced the number of mutant animals rushing towards the distant mountains like a tide of beasts after being confused, but there are still many mutant animals that have been attracted without any concealment during this period. Xu Sa, Liu Rui, and Ning Yuan and his group who were resisting on the front line in the back mountain have gone completely crazy with killing. Their bodies are covered in blood, and corpses are piled up everywhere. They seem to be immersed in a sea of blood. The bloody smell that rises into the sky makes countless animals in the mountains wail and get excited.
After seeing the situation here, Lu Weiyi felt that the time he was controlled was just child's play. At that time, he alone with special abilities could protect most of the people. Now, with just the mutant animals coming here, he might not be able to escape unscathed even if he went forward, not to mention the thousands of people Ning Yuan mobilized, and there was no support.
Need help.
This was the first thought that came to Lu Weiyi's mind. However, not to mention that they had not found other bases in the surrounding area, even if they did find others, they might not come to help them. However...
Lu Weiyi suddenly had an idea in his mind, and his mental power suddenly explored deep into the mountains. Without much consumption, he found one of the few old friends at the SSS level.
[Phoenix, find some help. It's up to you.] Lu Weiyi released the Phoenix from his consciousness zone, urging and guiding it to fly towards the depths of the mountains.
Thousands of meters away from the base, on a towering tree, a huge bird's nest is nestling comfortably in a touch of emerald green.
After leaving the base, the mutant peacock was initially worried that it would be caught and taken back, so it could have escaped far away. However, it accidentally encountered the psychics in the base several times afterwards and was not attacked. It gradually put its mind at ease and returned to the place where it used to live. After all, it had gotten used to the life there and didn't want to leave.
It had been living a peaceful and dominant life until half an hour ago, when it once again smelled the scent in the air that had made it out of control in the past, attracting it to move towards the base again.
Reason told him to flee quickly, but his instinct was out of control. Just when the mutant peacock was struggling in despair, he found that the smell was much weaker. He overcame his instinct and quickly fled away.
When he found that he was fine, he felt like watching the fun. He returned to the nest he had built and looked down at the small animals that were forced to go there because they couldn't overcome their instincts. Then -
He saw a dazzling light rising in the direction of the base, flapping its wings and flying towards it. The holy light fell into the dark night as it flapped its wings, which was magnificent.
However, the mutant peacock had no intention of appreciating the view. It turned around and prepared to escape, but the phoenix, which had noticed its intention first, let out a deafening cry and frightened it to the point of staying where it was.
Yes, it was afraid of death, especially the higher the level, the smarter it felt. After seeing its archenemy, the SSS-level mutant giant snake, die without leaving any trace, it had stayed in the base for so long that it understood more and more that a man of insight is a wise man.
Unable to escape at this moment, he immediately turned around and flew towards the Phoenix. His affection was so strong that Lu Weiyi, who saw this scene from afar, even suspected that this thing had been possessed by another soul, because it was apparently quite aloof at the beginning.
The mutated Phoenix was successfully brought back to the base, and it was placed on the front line against mutated animals, forming the first line of defense of the base together with Xu Sa, Liu Rui and others.
"Phoenix?" Xu Sa and Liu Rui were standing back to back in the pile of mutant animals. When they saw this scene, they laughed and waved at the air, but unfortunately they waved in the wrong direction.
"Idiot!" Lu Weiyi's voice came directly from the consciousness of several people. Those who had not dared to show up in front of Lu Weiyi for several days because Zhuang Mingxu had been in a coma, now all laughed.
"We have cut off the source that attracts mutant animals. You must guard this place and not allow anyone to enter or leave. We are going to thoroughly clean up the base tonight."
"Understood!" Xu Sa's loud voice was wanton and unrestrained, as if he had disregarded life and death.
At this moment, Lu Weiyi suddenly felt that they might have all prepared themselves not to go to support, but they still decided to stay in their respective positions.
At this time, the laboratory had been cleared because of the mountain that was blown up at the beginning. Antonio and two healing staff tried their best to save lives, but in the chaos, he discovered that there were zombies mixed in with the unconscious people, and they took the opportunity to attack the people around them.
After breaking out in a cold sweat, he refused to let Dean continue no matter what.
Li Zhuang was no longer at the base, and Wu Yue was guarding Xu Yi. He could not force anyone to move forward at this time, so he could only order the unconscious and injured personnel to be transferred. He knew clearly that this delay might result in the deaths of countless people, but he could not let the healing psychics that the base had worked so hard to train take risks.
At this point, life has completely become a bargaining chip. It is sad and lamentable that the peaceful days have finally torn off a corner of the veil, revealing the essence of reality - they are still unable to escape from the uneasy life.
The cries for help kept coming from all around, but it still couldn't stop Xu Yi and Dean from returning to the hospital. The patients they received there would go through layers of screening before appearing in front of them, which would ensure their safety to a greater extent, but it was based on the lives of these people.
However, this is not the worst. The places where ordinary people gather are completely hell on earth. There are only a few people with superpowers here, and even if there are, they are not good at attacking and can only provide assistance.
Faced with the sudden appearance of zombies, everyone could only hide helplessly. Unfortunately, the zombies did not give them the chance to hide safely in their homes. The houses were destroyed by supernatural powers, fires were burning everywhere, and even countless controlled metals attacked people indiscriminately. Once they left the house that protected them, they were faced with the hideous mouths of zombies.
When Li Qing led the team here, the situation was already out of control. He could only order people to hide while indiscriminately attacking all zombies.
However, ordinary people continued to transform, temporary settlements were breached from the inside time and time again, and many soldiers were also infected during this period. The number of people with special abilities that he could use became fewer and fewer.
Li Qing couldn't hold back his tears when he saw Huang Rui, who had followed him in the team for several years, stretching out his hand that was scratched by zombies, looking at him with a smile and crying and calling him captain.
"Qi Lin - go ask for help, find the base commander, and ask for medicine, quickly!" As someone who is close to Lin Yimu, Li Qing naturally knows the situation of medicines in the base. At this time, he shouted Qi Lin and grabbed Huang Rui's arm, "Use your supernatural powers to force it out, force the zombie energy out."
"Spiritual Department, where is Xing Zhou——?"
"Captain, Xing Zhou and his team of psychics have been transferred away by the base commander." Deputy captain Lei Jun has already used crystal core firearms. They brought a team of nearly 5,000 people, but when faced with nearly 20,000 ordinary people, they were quickly dispersed. At this time, there were less than 700 people guarding the surroundings.
"Captain, my mother..." Huang Rui could feel the zombie energy in his body begin to wander. He wanted to mobilize his supernatural powers, but it was almost consumed along the way. He could only hold Li Qing's hand and arrange his funeral as much as possible.
Li Qing yelled at him to stop talking, but the hand he was holding was shaking unconsciously.
Lu Weiyi took in the situation in the ordinary residential area. This place was completely out of control, and even the base troops who went there were trapped in it.
If the people here spread, it is very likely that other places where the situation has been briefly controlled by the psychics will collapse again.
In name, he was indeed the base commander, but he had not been involved in the base's affairs for a long time, and he had no idea how to transfer personnel at this time. As he was quickly thinking of a solution in his mind, he heard the voice of Zhuang Mingxu calling him from the space.
"Xiaoyi, send me out to give the orders." Zhuang Mingxu ordered Zhuang Aiyi to feed him something. At this time, he had recovered some strength and said in a firm tone, "I give the orders, you execute them."
There was no time to hesitate. Lu Weiyi immediately brought Zhuang Mingxu out of the space, lighting the bed, and informed him of Li Qing's situation.
"Send someone to the underground laboratory in the military headquarters and ask Qi Le to take out all the drugs in the laboratory. Call on high-level water-based psychics. Forget it, let Ning Yuan or Qing Yue do it. They have more subtle control over their powers. Let them rain drugs in ordinary residential areas."
"What the hell?" Lu Weiyi locked onto the person who was executing the order as quickly as possible and asked him to go get the thing. Another strand of his mental power had already covered Huang Rui.
"The gas that made all of us and the zombies unconscious before has been made into liquid form using a special process. It was able to knock Qin Jin down at the beginning. Using it now can just restrict all actions and prevent the zombies and zombie energy from leaking out and bringing pressure to other areas."
Lu Weiyi gave half of the order and turned to look at him, "Once this thing vaporizes, it will be out of control, right?"
If the entire base was stunned...
That scene is simply unbearable to imagine.
"We can only let those with water-based abilities control it as much as possible. As for the short-term consequences, we can't take them into consideration now."
If these tens of thousands of people were to be killed at this moment, it might only take one artillery shell, but if they were to be controlled, it would be extremely difficult. Lu Weiyi had no good solution at the moment and could only take one step at a time.
"Send someone to the Joint Research Institute. There are remaining zombie energy-releasing potions there. Send them to various areas in proportion. Ningyuan will have less." Zhuang Mingxu held the combat distribution map, made quick plans in his mind, and asked Lu Weiyi about the situation.
"I will help them force out the zombie energy," Lu Weiyi replied. His mental power had already forced out most of the zombie energy flowing in Huang Rui's body. Li Qing, who saw this scene, saw a bunch of crystal cores appear out of thin air in front of him, and a familiar voice rang in his mind, "Medicines and volunteers are on the way, hold on."
Li Qing wiped his face and replied with tears in his eyes, "Yes!"
"Where are our crystal cores? They don't have enough crystal cores." After alleviating Li Qing's situation, Lu Weiyi's mental power once again wandered to other places. The dense spider-web-like mental power threads brought countless news. His ears were buzzing, and Lu Weiyi seemed to be divided into countless little people, paying attention to the situation everywhere.
"In the underground warehouse," Zhuang Mingxu clicked his tongue, "the supernatural powers are isolated there."
In order to prevent his house from being robbed, Zhuang Mingxu had made very solid arrangements, but who would have thought that it would become an obstacle at this moment.
"I'll ask someone to call Brother Damu." After saying this, he frowned. The situation outside at the moment was so dangerous that it went without saying that Lin Yimu, a person without special powers, had to run around.
"No need, I'll control a nearby guard to do it." Lu Weiyi sighed softly, took out the energy of the SSS-level mutant banyan tree stored in the space, and began to absorb it slowly.
Zhuang Mingxu was worried as he watched his face gradually turn pale. Although he was unconscious, he was conscious. He also knew that Lu Weiyi had rushed back and followed him directly into the operating room. Then, he was worried because he had not woken up until now, so he probably didn't get much rest.
Right now, all things are piling up together. The signal jammer has cut off the only remaining means of communication in the entire base. It is all up to Lu Weiyi to use his mental power to maintain timely access to all information. His supernatural powers must not be interrupted at this time.
While he closed his eyes to absorb energy to control people to open the warehouse, Zhuang Mingxu waved to the person on duty outside the door and whispered two words in his ear.
At last, he patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Just say that I asked him for help and asked him to help me get through this disaster."
"Yes, base commander." The man left in a hurry. Lu Weiyi also controlled the guards outside the warehouse, opened the door of the warehouse, and put all the things inside into the space.
He then issued a notice to all the leaders of the teams currently in combat at the base, [This is the base command center. I am Lu Weiyi. Support crystal cores and firearms are now being distributed. All leaders are requested to report their quantities.]
The sound that sounded in the consciousness startled a group of people who had never experienced it for a moment. Some of them even asked the people around them in a trance if they had heard any sound. Some people didn't even ask whether it was true or not, and directly asked for things.
When the weapons and crystal cores appeared before them as they had wished, everyone was surprised to find that they were real.
"Base commander, we need a doctor."
"One of our team members is infected. Do you have any medicine to support us?"
"Base commander, we need support here."
…
One sound after another was fed back to Lu Weiyi along the threads of mental power, and the noisy atmosphere instantly boosted the morale of the teams that were at the end of their strength.
With the support of the back, everything in front of you seems less difficult to deal with.
[The command post is deploying all support, please hold on, the base is with you].
"We are with the base—!"
A resounding response echoed in every corner of the base, just like every crisis they had experienced together.
On the other side, Li Qing also waited for the zombie energy-releasing potion to be delivered. After Gu Qingyue recruited the water-based mutants in his team, he used their abilities to cover the surrounding area.
"Have you looked for Qin Jin?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"Yes, in this situation, he can better sense the presence of zombies, which is more effective than our blind actions."
Lu Weiyi also knew this, but his relationship with Qin Jin had not reached that point. And since Zhuang Mingxu had already asked for the favor, it was equivalent to taking their relationship into account. If Qin Jin agreed, it would be fine. If Qin Jin did not agree, they would probably have a grudge in their hearts. This was tantamount to gambling with their friendship.
I'm afraid that even if Qin Jin is unwilling in his heart, he will still do it because of the past.
As expected, after hearing Zhuang Mingxu's words, Qin Jin sneered for a long time, but finally did not refuse.
"If you don't want to go, don't force yourself." The last person to speak was Qin's father. He knew his son best and couldn't tolerate any injustice. Seeing Qin's mother being stabbed, asking him to help at this time would be tantamount to asking him to suppress his temper and do things.
"A Jin" Qin's mother looked at him weakly and stretched out her hand.
Qin Jin quickly took a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then carefully tucked in every nail, and then gently held hers, "Mom, you say."
"A Jin, your father and I are old. We are not dissatisfied with seeing Nian Nian. The base deserves us, but don't make things difficult for yourself. At worst, we can accompany you to the zombie circle. I'm quite curious about the life of zombies." Qin's mother smiled and spoke gently.
"Mom, don't you blame them for hurting you?" Qin Jin's face turned uncontrollably ferocious when he spoke of this. The violent zombie energy would always show up when his emotions fluctuated greatly, ready to turn him into an out-of-control monster at any time.
Qin's mother reached out and stroked his cheek. "I don't accept it emotionally, but I know rationally that their fears are right."
"It's not them or you who are wrong, it's the world," said Qin's mother, "so no matter what choice you make."
"Both are correct!".
Qin Jin buried his whole face in his mother's hands and looked like a little child again, as if cold drops of water were sliding down. Mother Qin gently stroked his hair to comfort him, "I know it's not easy for us, Jin, so don't force yourself."
Yin Jin also stepped forward and pinched his shoulder, "You did a very good job."
Qin Jin had no plans for the future when he came here originally, but now seeing his loved ones standing firmly behind him, he suddenly felt that maybe he really did have a future to look forward to.
He stood up and placed Qin's mother's hand in Yin Jin's hand, "Take good care of the family, I will go and fight for a future for us."
After kissing the confused little Qin Nian, the other little kid giggled. Qin Jin called Lu Weiyi's name and strode out of the ward.
Lu Weiyi, who had been paying attention to the situation here, nodded towards Zhuang Mingxu and responded to Qin Jin through his consciousness, "I'm here, you talk."
Qin Jin appeared on the ground and spread the pressure of the zombie king to the entire base. Sensing the increasing number of zombies, he asked Lu Weiyi, "Do you want to cooperate?"
"For a future where zombies and mutants can coexist peacefully?"
