Chapter 367 Tiger Team
The man was not the strongest man, and his figure and appearance were inconspicuous among a group of people. He was just like a passerby walking on the street, without any special features at all.
But he raised his hand to stop them, and no one in the group following him moved forward.
This leadership made Lu Weiyi unable to help but take a second look.
In the silence, Li Zhuang and his party who got the news also hurried over. As soon as he saw the things stuck on Lu Weiyi and Xu Sa, he knew what was going on. After looking at his opponents, he immediately winked at the people around him, and several people who were carrying blockers immediately quietly stuck them on their bodies.
"When you take action later, you must use weapons," Li Zhuang warned Zheng Jun in a low voice.
Zheng Jun didn't understand what was going on, and the man opposite him was already asking what was going on.
"He came up to me and molested me without asking any questions. I was so scared that I couldn't control myself." Xu Sa looked at the dead man on the ground with regret and lowered his head reluctantly. "I'm so sorry, but you should control your subordinates in the future. There are so many good-looking people in the world, and he wants to touch everyone."
"You're talking fucking bullshit," a man denied fiercely, and said to the people around him, "Boss, I'm going to kill this pretty boy and avenge my brother."
The leading man said nothing, his eyes always observing the group of people in front of him.
Seeing that he did not refute, the man immediately jumped out of the team and ran towards Xu Sa, while a raging fire dragon rushed over quickly.
Liu Rui, who was standing next to Xu Sa, raised his foot slightly forward, and the fire dragon suddenly disappeared in front of the group of people. The rolling heat waves were still rolling in front of them, and the man had already run up to them.
Without waiting for Liu Rui to make a move, Xu Sa rushed forward with a machete in his hand and kicked the man in the chest in mid-air. Before the man could be kicked over, the long knife in his hand slid along his arm, and as the man fell to the ground, blood splattered in a circle.
"What's going on? Did you see him use any special powers?"
"No supernatural powers, right? I only saw him holding a knife, pure physical suppression."
"Old Four's fire ability is A-level, and he is one of the best experts in the base. Is this the second time he hasn't used his ability?"
"It's... a bit weird, right?"
Amid the rustling sounds, the leading man glanced at the people next to him. The sounds around him suddenly disappeared. The man's eyes passed through several people and wandered, as if he wanted to determine who was the leader among them.
Unfortunately, neither the position nor the aura was shown.
In the end, it was Xu Sa who spoke, "Excuse me, is there anything else? If not, we're leaving."
The knife in his hand was still dripping with blood. The smell of blood had already attracted the zombies, and their roars could be heard not far away.
If the situation continues like this, it will be disadvantageous to either side, especially if a large number of zombies are attracted. The other side has more people and cannot prevent all of them from making a move, especially since there are C-level psychics in their team.
But if he left like this, it would obviously be a slap in the face. The man also understood this truth, but he couldn't figure out the details of Lu Weiyi and others, so he didn't want to act rashly.
"Brother, I'm going."
"I'll go"
But the people following him obviously didn't want to give him a chance to leave, and they all rushed to take action, unable to swallow their anger.
Wu Yue saw that he was trying to delay and sneered, "If you dare, just go ahead. If you don’t dare, get out. What’s the difference between you and a coward by dithering?"
"You are so mean. Don't you see that I just want to wait for the zombies to come so that I can find an excuse not to take action? Why do you have to expose it? It's so embarrassing." Xu Sa laughed and cooperated.
These two sentences provoked several people on the other side to the point of unable to hold back, but the leading man remained indifferent. Knowing that this would not work, Xu Sa glanced at Li Zhuang.
"Retreat," Li Zhuang gave the order and pushed Xu Yi behind him.
Zheng Jun and his group retreated, followed by the heroic Li Dongsheng who also slowly retreated. Although some of the other side wanted to take action, they were eventually suppressed by the man alone.
Just as Xu Sa and Liu Rui in the back were retreating, one of them patted the truck placed on the side, and Lu Weiyi easily put the car into the space and left at the end.
Until the group walked away, the person on the opposite side remained there indifferent.
Feeling that the zombies were approaching in large numbers, Li Zhuang quickly chose a building that was a little further away, so that he could avoid the zombies while still observing the whereabouts of all the other zombies.
The surrounding area was empty and their actions could not be hidden. By the time everyone rushed out of the zombies that were moved by the smell of blood and reached the upstairs, the other party had already left from another direction.
"Just left like that?" Xu Sa found it unbelievable.
"We still don't know what happened?" This was the first time for Zheng Jun's team to experience a confrontation with a human. When they saw Xu Sa taking two lives in one move, they couldn't accept it for a while.
"A speed-type guy used his supernatural powers to get close to Xu Yi and kidnapped him. Not only did he want to steal our supplies, he also wanted to attack the three of us." Xu Sa sneered, a sinister look flashing across his face. He hated it most when people saw his appearance and wanted to take advantage of him.
Hearing him talking about the other party's forces, Wu Yue suddenly said, "I've heard of the Menghu team. The captain is a man named Meng Hu. It is said that he looks like a Mongolian man, rough and heroic. He has a good influence in the Pingjin base, but he has a small quirk." He paused and glanced at the good-looking people in front of him, "He likes handsome boys."
"It is said that he has a collecting habit. If you want to cooperate with him or get benefits, you have to send him all kinds of handsome men. He is famous in the Pingjin base. Our base wanted to establish a partner with the Pingjin base some time ago and considered them at the beginning. However, he later made this request and Zhuang Mingxu was unhappy, so he was excluded."
"The man just now should be the second-in-command of their team. He should suspect that we are from the Yuebanwan base." Seeing that a few people still didn't understand what the matter was, Wu Yue explained, "Although communications have not been fully restored now, we are not completely unable to contact. The news that there is an SS mutant in charge of our base has probably spread to all the bases."
"I didn't say anything," Xu Sa said to clear himself of suspicion.
"Needless to say, there are not many bases nearby. The small bases dare not be so stubborn. Will the inland bases come to search for snowmobiles? We have been completely betrayed by where we are." Wu Yue was speechless.
"Are they giving in?" Xiong Jie hadn't come out for a long time and was a little bit unbelieving for a moment.
“Who knows if they will do something shady, so we should always keep an eye on them,” Li Zhuang concluded, and asked everyone to prepare to eat and rest.
The accident did not affect the itinerary of several people. They rested for a day and continued the operation the next day.
At this time in Yueban Bay, Gu Qingji led the team to stay outside for a few days and turned a nearby small woods into towering trees. With the arrival of the earth-type mutants, all the trees in the forest were transported back to the base.
In the era when labor was the cheapest, you could see countless people chopping trees from morning to night every day.
In view of the sudden drop in temperature last year, as soon as Zhuang Mingxu noticed the temperature drop, he gave an order to have most of the manpower in the base go into harvesting the fields. There was no more rest at noon, and people started to live from morning to night.
The busy life made Gu Qingji miss Gu Qingyue only for a few moments when he was resting. The longer they were apart, the more he could not be sure of the other's safety, and the more silent he became.
"Drink some water." Da Liu, the only A-level wood-type superpower in the birthing team, handed Gu Qingji a glass of water. "Captain Gu, I feel like everyone has some superpowers left over from their daily lives. Why don't you continue to birth?"
"The requirements from above," Gu Qingji pointed at the person weighing in the distance and shouted, "What's that bag?"
"Captain Gu, this is rice. It was stimulated to grow yesterday and dried today. We need to store it together," the person weighing it shouted.
"All the rice?" Gu Qingji took a few steps forward and saw the rice ears with skins in the bag. He was suspicious, "Is this rice?"
"Rice is only produced after it has been husked," explained Liu, who came over. "It is a waste of manpower to hull rice manually. Captain Li said that there is enough energy recently, so the crops that need to be hulled will be concentrated for a few days and then hulled by machines before being eaten."
Gu Qingji took a look at the record sheet that Li Dongsheng left for him. It did show how many days on average a crop was allocated, and it was basically not fixed. At first he thought it was just to change the taste for everyone, but now it seems there are other considerations.
"Sorry, I didn't ask clearly." After Gu Qingji recorded the amount of today's harvest, he summarized Li Dongsheng's frequency, "Is it time to stimulate the growth of corn tomorrow?"
"Yes, as of today, we have grown rice for five days, which is enough for one use of the machine. The rice grown today will be dried for a day tomorrow, and we will apply for the use of the rice mill. Generally, all the rice will be milled by the day after tomorrow morning and can be distributed in the afternoon," Da Liu introduced skillfully, and also told Gu Qingji in detail where he could apply for permission to use the machine.
Gu Qingji waited until all the harvest was stored in the warehouse. He checked and locked the door. It was already dark around.
"I'm really sorry for asking you to help until so late," Gu Qingji said to Liu Da who had been helping him, and the two walked back together.
"It's so hot, it's okay to go back." Liu put his hands behind his head and looked at the sky. In the dim peripheral light, he could be seen holding a piece of weed in his mouth, looking very relaxed. "But you, didn't Captain Li tell you clearly before he left? You don't seem very familiar with it."
"I'm just taking over temporarily. I didn't expect it would take so long." Gu Qingji asked in detail about some past arrangements and had a general idea of what to do next.
The evening breeze brought a slight chill, and the two of them enjoyed the breeze at a leisurely pace. Such an atmosphere made it easy for people to relax their vigilance. In addition, Liu next to them was a very talkative person, and chatting with him made people feel relaxed both physically and mentally.
After listening to Liu talk about the meaning behind the things we have to do every day, I realized that every task assigned by Li Dongsheng was well connected and there was no redundancy.
