Chapter 705: Failure
"Only parts of their bodies were swallowed. We used some methods to bring them out," Zhao Gang said, stretching out his hand to cover one of them. The place he touched softened visibly and could hold a hand.
"Low temperature can turn it into liquid, and we peeled them out bit by bit. The remaining two people are trapped too deep, and we can't use our superpowers to release them." As his palms probed into them, the transparent substance gradually turned into fluid and peeled off their bodies. During this process, Zhao Gang's face gradually turned pale, and his superpowers were obviously exhausted.
Wang Bing on the side was not stingy and filled his vacant seat, and other water-based ability users quickly stepped forward.
Zhao Gang then had time to look at Zhuang Mingxu, "The map you gave me is totally wrong. There are no passages at all in many places. In some places, the passages are very narrow and we cannot pass through them with our bodies."
"We couldn't find any trace of the base commander when we went in, and we finally got back underground by following the plant marks that Hua Rui carefully left along the way."
"How is that possible? We got here relying on this map." Zhuang Mingxu frowned, not understanding what was going on.
"It's true," Hua Rui replied, "I habitually enter a passage and stimulate the growth of plants along the way, leaving marks, and then I lead them out, but..."
Hua Rui frowned and asked uncertainly, "What is the material of the passage below? Is it possible that it is shrinking?"
"What's the meaning?"
"When we came out, some of the plants I left on the ground were integrated into the ground just like them," said Hua Rui.
"There can't be...someone alive down there, right?"
Someone suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Qi, won't you give me an explanation?" Zhuang Mingxu looked at Qi Le with a cold face.
"I don't know." Qi Le lowered his head and did not give any explanation.
"Okay, very good." Zhuang Mingxu was still smiling, but people who knew him knew that he was really angry.
"No need to wait, let's just destroy this place," Zhuang Mingxu said, looking at Zhou He, "Gather everyone and use artillery shells to open a path."
"But there's that substance underneath. If we open fire..." Just a little bit of the vaporization is enough to make four high-level psychics fall into a coma. With such a huge underground area, I'm afraid the entire base will not be spared.
"You don't even understand the weapon you are using?" Zhuang Mingxu glanced at him, took the rocket launcher beside him, and opened the crystal core capsule.
Zhou He's eyes lit up instantly, "Damn, it's been a while since I used it, I really forgot about it."
"Captain, what's wrong?" Zhong Ye looked over curiously.
Zhuang Mingxu took out the remaining crystal cores in the crystal core capsule, leaving only an empty energy converter. He turned something inside and there was a click, as if a mechanism was triggered. The energy converter was instantly moved and a similar-looking energy converter appeared.
If you look closely, you can see that one has a cluster of flames carved on it, while this one has a snowflake on it.
"This is an ice converter. It is rarely used in normal combat," Zhou He explained to Zhong Ye in a low voice, "You are not from the artillery battalion, so you don't understand normal things. When our base was besieged by zombies, we relied on this thing to freeze the sea surface around our base within one day and created a hundred-meter-high ice wall."
Zhou He slapped the rocket launcher with his big hand and looked at the remaining people. "With this thing, are you still worried that you can't rescue people?"
"When our base grows out, you will die," Zhou He said to Qi Le, and ordered Zhong Ye to imprison Qi Le and the white fox in the cage separately.
"Bring some fire-type psychics. You two take the men and rocket launchers to a high place and be ready to shoot." Zhuang Mingxu handed the rocket launchers to them, and finally handed the remaining one to Zhao Gang, "This is for you. Whoever dares to cause trouble at this time, send him away immediately."
"He didn't shy away from Wang Bing and the others when he said this. It could even be said that it was a warning to them, reminding them that even if Lu Weiyi wasn't here at the moment, there were still ways to punish them.
"I understand," Zhao Gang said without hesitation.
"Earth-type mutants, listen to my command. Remove all the ordinary soil layers on the ground, and create a pool of water around it. Try your best not to let this thing leave this area."
"Attention, wood-type mutants, no matter what appears in the melted liquid, immediately control the plants to fish it out."
"Water-type mutant" Zhuang Mingxu looked at the rest of the people and said, "The key to the effectiveness of the ice-type rocket launcher is the presence of water around it, so you need to gather puddles at the launch site before you meet and launch. Do you understand what I mean?"
After all, it was a piece of equipment that had been used by the base. As soon as Zhuang Mingxu said that, everyone immediately understood what he meant, and said, "I understand."
"Very good," Zhuang Mingxu said without further explanation, "If you have any questions or don't understand, you can ask now."
"No".
"No".
…
A team of people quickly split up and moved to the arranged locations.
As soon as they came out of the Taoist temple, they saw someone not far away secretly looking over here, wanting to know what the final result would be.
A few children saw Qi Le being captured, and they shouted "Master" and tried to step forward, but were quickly pressed into the arms of the family members. They looked around vigilantly, as if they were weighing whether they should take action or not.
"I'll deal with them." Fang Tang took the initiative to take the responsibility of stopping the people in the base.
"Okay," Zhuang Mingxu said without caring what he was thinking, "Everyone around here must evacuate within ten minutes, otherwise you will be responsible for your own life or death."
"I understand," Fang Tang responded, and assigned areas to the children who followed him, "Tell them that Master Qi Le has been completely controlled, and ask their family members whether they choose freedom or continue to resist."
"Remind them that this place is about to be blown up, don't take anything with you, and leave first."
"What if they don't agree?" As people who have experienced losing everything and accumulated wealth bit by bit, it is difficult for them to leave everything behind. Li Jing understands this best.
"..." Fang Tang also understood, but they had no right to make the decision at this time, "it depends on whether they choose to die or live."
The earth-type mutants who had just finished discussing with Zhuang Mingxu also heard what they said. The team leader came over and said, "Let all the earth-type mutants come to help and move the entire ground. This way, things on the ground will not be damaged and supplies will not be damaged."
"Okay, I'll gather all the earth-type psychics right away. Thank you, brother." Li Jing is young and very likable when he speaks sweetly. "Do you need any other psychics? I'll call all the available ones."
"Not for now. I'll contact you if I need you, okay?" The team leader spoke to the little girl in a much gentler voice.
"Okay, brother, don't be polite with us," Li Jing said, and hurried to disperse the population.
When it comes to life and death, the children's execution ability may be a little poor, but the adult parents did not hesitate at all, especially when they knew that the supplies would not necessarily be destroyed.
Li Jing soon called over six young children, each of whom was followed by a parent. They walked tremblingly and looked carefully at them and the imprisoned Qi Le. After making sure that he was not in danger, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
While the earth-type mutant was informing them of the mission, some unruly parents even threw stones and spit towards the place where Qi Le was being held, cursing and cursing at the other party, saying that he deserved it.
"Stop, don't wander around, stay away from here," Xiao Meng, who was in charge of guarding Qi Le, shouted dissatisfiedly.
"Brother Bing, don't you know what he did to us? This man is so hateful. He planted plants in our bodies. As long as they grow, the pain will be worse than death."
"It's true. It's so vicious. We were afraid that our children would be implicated, so we dared not resist at all."
"Thank you so much to the people at Yuebanwan Base for your kindness in saving us from the water and fire. We can finally feel at ease following a team like yours."
"Haha." Qi Le lowered his head and chuckled, "Didn't you say it at the beginning? As long as the child can have superpowers, you can take your lives. Now you are not happy just because of a little pain?"
"Then...how can that be the same? You have to torture us unnecessarily for something that we don't need to endure."
Qi Le did not argue with them. He looked up at the two people who wanted to hold him at gunpoint and said, "Did you see that? They knelt outside here all night, begging the mountain god. They were willing to do anything as long as the child could awaken his superpowers."
"You just felt a little pain and you're unwilling to do it, hahaha..." Qi Le's face was filled with disgust for human nature, "You still want to go to the Yuebanwan base? If you want to go, you should ask if they will accept you."
"Our children are all high-level psychics, they are all useful people. We are not going there for nothing, don't you think, Brother Soldier?"
"Look at them, their abilities are comparable to your warriors, and they can all be of help."
…
"I can help..." Qi Le smiled, "Do you think it would not affect the body of an ordinary person if he had such a powerful ability?"
"What do you mean?" Someone noticed something was wrong with his words and asked immediately.
"Literally, how long does it take for a psychic's body to be strengthened before it can withstand the use of high-level psychic powers? Is it possible for an ordinary person to use high-level psychic powers right away without any danger?"
Seeing that those who were so arrogant just now kept silent one by one, Qi Le laughed more happily, "They are overdrawing their own bodies. Every time they use their superpowers, they are paying for their own lives in advance."
"Use it, use it. You never know when you might die suddenly. Don't be surprised when that happens. Hahahaha..."
"You bastard—"
"I'm going to kill you!"
Several parents who had gathered around heard this and were immediately filled with indignation. They rushed forward and were ready to attack Qi Le.
As Xiao Meng waved his hand, several icicles appeared under the feet of the angry people, only a few inches away from their feet. The child's arms were unusually thick and sharp, and they emitted a cold light to remind everyone of the danger.
"Stay away from here. Anyone who affects the Yuebanwan movement will be killed on the spot." Xiao Meng said in a cold voice and returned to machine mode.
Several family members' eyes were red with anger, but they didn't dare to force themselves on the people from Yuebanwan. They could only curse Qi Le unwillingly. The smart ones had calmed down and asked Qi Le what was going on.
"It's nothing, just a failed experiment, they are all failures."
"A failure... who cares if it lives or dies?"
