Chapter 264 and 265: Being Caught
Chapter 264 and 265: Being Caught
Zhuang Mingxu had a feeling that he really had nothing.
Without super powers, you lose everything.
He fell into a thinking error.
No one could pull him back.
When Lu Weiyi saw this scene, he silently withdrew his mental power and threw the jade in his hand into the space.
As the last bit of the fragment was repaired, the entire space seemed to be hit by a huge energy impact, rushing straight out of the body.
Several people in the living room were knocked to the ground by the impact, and then the energy went in all directions.
The peach tree next to the thatched cottage, which had never moved, seemed to come alive in an instant and began to grow upwards.
The feeling seemed to start from his body and move upwards, as if it could emerge from the top of his head at any time.
Lu Weiyi suddenly stood up and left the villa, not knowing where to go. His subconscious mind was to walk out, but as soon as he reached the door, his entire consciousness disappeared in an instant.
The people who followed behind him saw that Lu Weiyi suddenly turned into a tree as he walked, standing beside the gate.
“This…this…”
"What's going on?"
Li Zhuang took a few steps forward, "Lu Weiyi? Lu Weiyi!" He stretched out his hand to pat the tree, but was bounced back by invisible energy and could not get close at all.
Li Zhuang shouted a few more times, but Ning Yuan, who pushed the door open, did not ask any questions. Xu Sa was the first to look at Zhuang Mingxu behind him, "Brother Mingxu, Wei Yi is in trouble."
Zhuang Mingxu's unhurried movements froze, and he took a few quick steps before seeing a big tree suddenly appearing in the yard. He looked up and seemed to be able to see peaches growing on it.
It's that tree!
"Xiao Yi!" Zhuang Mingxu ran a few quick steps, but his legs were not used to it and he stumbled. He was bounced away by the big tree and sat on the ground.
"What's going on? What did he do? How could this happen?" Zhuang Mingxu panicked.
"He said he wanted to upgrade the space."
The upgrade is completed. Have the trees in the space been upgraded?
"Where are the others?"
"It turned into... a tree"
"How is that possible?" Zhuang Mingxu knew that these were different individuals, but he remembered the existence that Lu Weiyi had once mentioned and the consciousness in his brain.
Possess the body?
Zhuang Mingxu tried to calm himself down. He gently stretched out his hand and approached a little bit. He was separated from the tree trunk by a section. "I know you are alive. Where is Xiaoyi?"
No answer.
Zhuang Mingxu exerted a little force, but the force seemed to be bounced back and he was knocked out.
He reached out his hand again and stroked gently with his five fingers, as if scratching an itch.
After a while, a branch as thin as a hair fell from the tree and pulled his hand away.
When everyone saw this scene, they dared not say a word.
"Where is Xiaoyi?" Zhuang Mingxu asked again.
No one answered, but fine threads kept brushing his hands away to prevent him from scratching any further.
"Brother Mingxu, what is this?" Xu Sa asked.
"Yes..." Zhuang Mingxu thought for a while, "Xiaoyi's mutated plant."
"Can it still look like this?"
“It doesn’t look aggressive”
"Where is the team leader?"
Several people asked in a whisper.
Zhuang Mingxu had no idea for a moment, "You guys go back, I'll stay with him and inform you as soon as there is any news. We still have to travel tomorrow, so go to bed early."
A few people thought that he had some secret method that couldn't be seen by others, so after a moment of silence, they returned to the villa together.
Zhuang Mingxu sat on the ground, leaning against the trunk of a big tree.
**
At this time, Lu Weiyi was trapped in space.
The space was infinitely large at this time. He stood under the peach tree and could not see the surrounding boundaries for a moment. Various supplies were scattered and piled up, as if he had entered an empty supply point.
He tried hard to get out, but he couldn't. He seemed to be trapped in this world.
“I can’t get out.”
A childish voice sounded, and Lu Weiyi looked around, but saw no one. "Who are you?"
"I am Taotao"
"Where are you?"
"Here it is"
As the sound fell, a branch swayed in front of him.
Lu Weiyi looked up and saw the big tree.
"You are the peach tree"
"no"
As the voice fell, a figure about one meter tall appeared in front of him. The little boy was delicate and looked like a child in a New Year picture. He had a tuft of hair on his forehead and two pigtails with a red hairband on them. He also wore a red bellyband embroidered with a bagua pattern, and a pair of red trousers.
Lu Weiyi reached out and touched it, and it was real.
"I am Tai Chi Yin Yang Jade," the child said, and touched Lu Weiyi with his backhand and looked at him curiously, "Are you my new father?"
It feels soft like the touch of Zhuang Aiyi's small hand.
"What father?"
The child thought for a moment and said, “He’s my father anyway, I can feel it.”
"How to get out?" The people outside must be very anxious at this time. Lu Weiyi didn't want to pay attention to unnecessary things. He felt very tired and couldn't help but sit on the ground, feeling weak all over.
"I don't know." Taotao also sat cross-legged opposite him and asked curiously, "How did you wake me up? I seem to have slept for a long time."
“I felt physically hurt in the middle.”
“It seems not.”
"What is this?"
“Why are there so many things here?”
"Did you put it there?"
"you……"
Taotao was like a little chatterbox. She kept talking for a long time but got no answer. She touched Lu Weiyi again and saw the person sitting there tilted and lay on the ground.
**
In the yard, Zhuang Mingxu would occasionally reach out and tug at the branches around which his fingertips were wrapped, and the branches would move in response to him.
There was silence in the villa.
When Zhuang Mingxu wasn't noticing, the bricks on the floor of the villa were lifted up, revealing a one-meter square passage. A man jumped out from underneath and walked towards the person who was staggering in the living room.
There was a knock on the iron door outside. Zhuang Mingxu frowned and looked over, only to see a figure.
"who?"
No one answered.
"Who's outside?" Zhuang Mingxu stood up and asked loudly.
Xu Yi, who was sleeping on the second floor, was awakened by his voice. He got up and saw that it was already dark. He opened the bread on the table in the dark and took two bites.
The taste is not good at all.
It’s all because of that psychopath Xu Sa. He brainwashed him when he was drunk and caused him to have a sudden realization and not eat properly.
I don’t know what these people had for dinner, and they didn’t even call him.
That's too much.
Xu Yi was thinking about going down to see if there was any mutant meat to eat in the freezer. He turned around and took two steps. Then he suddenly turned around and looked outside the yard.
A man was standing at the iron gate and talking to Zhuang Mingxu, while behind the invisible wall, a dozen psychics were hiding there.
He squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and the one leading the group happened to be Li Ji.
Just as Xu Yi was about to shout to Zhuang Mingxu not to open the door, he discovered that the night watchman who was supposed to be there at any time did not show up.
He immediately covered his mouth. Zhuang Mingxu had no special abilities, so it would be useless even if he reminded him.
Now...it's time to find another psychic.
Xu Yi walked out of the room and found the villa quiet, as if no one was there, which made him become cautious.
When I reached the corner of the stairs, I saw several familiar figures lying on the ground.
Xu Yi's eyes suddenly widened. Hearing footsteps, he quickly leaned against the wall and slightly leaned forward. He saw a man with his back to him, dragging several psychics and throwing them to the ground.
Without time to react, Xu Yi went upstairs carefully, opened the doors one by one, and found that everything was empty except...
There was a little kid sleeping in Lu Xi's room.
"Who are you?" Zhuang Mingxu's voice loudly questioned came from the front.
It looks like they've broken in.
He can just keep hiding and wait for Li Ji to come up and say that he was forced. His ability should not be affected. At worst he can go back to the Hunter's Guild and continue working.
Xu Yi was thinking in his mind when he saw the little kid on the bed turn over, smile sweetly and smack his lips.
What will happen to the child if he leaves?
Li Ji would definitely kill him.
He’s not my son!
Xu Yi turned and left.
After a few steps, he fell back.
"Lu Weiyi, you owe me a life. Look, you're still holding my hand," Xu Yi muttered in a low voice. "Ha, maybe you're already dead. Your son will call me dad in the future and take care of me in my old age. I can beat him if I'm unhappy and make him cry every day." He walked forward and picked up Zhuang Aiyi along with the quilt.
There are people at the main entrance and in the living room, so it is impossible to escape. Xu Yi is now thinking about how to hide and will run after everyone leaves.
There wasn't even any furniture in the house at the end of the world. When they first arrived at the villa, there was nothing in the room except the bed. The group of people were not so particular and didn't take out anything except daily necessities.
Xu Yi thought for a long time and only remembered that there was a cabinet under the kitchen, which should be safer than under the bed.
With no other choice, Xu Yi could only take a risk and gamble, "I'm a healer. I won't die even if I'm caught. You should pray to your father to protect you. I hope we can escape."
After Xu Yi finished mumbling, he went downstairs quietly.
The living room is opposite the door, and the kitchen is next to the corridor.
Xu Yi observed again and again to make sure that there was only one person, and while he was moving the person, he quickly slipped into the kitchen.
He also saw it clearly. There was really no one there. Even Li Zhuang, who could wake up just by turning over, was lying there like a dead pig.
Put down a whole family?
Then why is Zhuang Mingxu okay?
Could it be Zhuang Mingxu who did it?
No way, doesn’t he have a good relationship with Lu Weiyi?
Xu Yi's mind was full of thoughts, but that didn't stop him from getting into the cupboard.
The things in the cabinets here have been turned over countless times. They don't live here often, so the dust in the cabinets has not been moved. The dishes and other daily necessities are also placed directly on the countertop, which is convenient for him at this time.
**
In the courtyard, Zhuang Mingxu had already recognized the person who led the intruders. He was Li Ji, who had crippled his legs.
"Mr. Zhuang, how are you?" Li Ji said grimly with one corner of his mouth raised.
"Li Ji!" Zhuang Mingxu said this, feeling a little anxious.
The speed-type psychic who appeared at the door was none other than Liu Cheng, who had previously passed on the news about Grandpa Zhuang to him. Zhuang Mingxu did not plan to go again. Lu Weiyi's current condition was unclear, and he could not just leave Lu Weiyi alone and go for the surgery himself.
Just as I was about to explain clearly, the locked door opened automatically.
Liu Cheng pushed the door open and came in, followed by a group of psychics who filed in behind him.
He was loud enough to attract the attention of the people inside, but no one came out for a long time.
Li Ji took two steps towards Zhuang Mingxu, and Liu Cheng stood in front of Zhuang Mingxu, looking at him with a smile.
"Don't kill him." Li Ji shrugged his shoulders, took two steps back, waved to the psychics who followed them in and waved towards the villa, "Kill all their teammates."
Zhuang Mingxu’s first reaction was that something had happened in the villa.
"Ning Yuan!" Zhuang Mingxu shouted, but got no response, so he walked inside immediately. Liu Cheng grabbed Zhuang Mingxu, and after Li Ji entered with a sneer, he suddenly attacked Zhuang Mingxu on the back of the head.
"Xiao Yi" When Zhuang Mingxu fell down, he reached out and touched the big tree next to him, and called out in a low voice.
As Zhuang Mingxu fell, thousands of superpowers quickly appeared around him. The leader, Zhuang Chengye, shouted, "Mingxu?"
"Go and check out what's going on inside," he grabbed Zhuang Mingxu and shouted to the people who followed him, frowning and looking at the big tree that suddenly appeared.
The noise here soon alarmed the people in the villa. Li Ji led people out and saw that they were surrounded by psychics. A speed-type psychic quickly passed them and entered the villa to take a look. He came out and shouted loudly, "There is blood everywhere in there. They killed everyone."
"There was no one inside when we went in," shouted Sun Wei, who was following behind Li Ji.
But no one paid any attention.
"You, the Hunter Guild, came to my dealer's territory to kill people. Do you think I have no one in my dealership?" Zhuang Chengye asked loudly, "Catch them all."
"Yes!" Thousands of people responded.
Seeing this, Li Ji and his companions were planning to use their special powers, but unexpectedly, several injections were shot directly at them from an unknown corner, and the people who were shot fell to the ground and could not get up.
With the interference of various superpowers, more than a dozen A-level superpower users fell to the ground in a short while.
"Take him away," Zhuang Chengye said condescendingly.
**
Xu Yi felt that he had been knowledgeable since he was young, but tonight was really an eye-opener.
He hid in the cabinet for a while before the people outside had finished transporting everything. Then he heard a voice asking from downstairs, "Why are there three missing? A child and two adults."
Xu Yi's eyes widened instantly.
He had heard this voice.
This is the grandfather who came to see Zhuang Mingxu before.
He had just received some "guidance" on his life from Xu Sa, and went back to his room in a depressed mood, thinking about random things. He heard a conversation in the yard below. At that time, he was having a pretty good chat with Zhuang Mingxu.
"There's only one person outside," said the porter.
"Apart from that"
Damn, could it be that Zhuang Mingxu is really in cahoots with them?
Then it’s only him and Zhuang Aiyi? Who else escaped?
"Forget it, let's go first," Zhuang Mobai said, and then he fell silent.
Within two minutes, a group of people rushed in with a "bang".
"No one?"
"Has he been killed?"
"Why is there blood everywhere?"
"Where did that person go?"
"Boom boom boom"
"Boom boom boom"
“Nothing upstairs either”
“Someone’s coming outside”
"Fuck, we are surrounded. Who is this person?"
"Zhuang Chengye!"
Xu Yi covered his mouth tightly, he felt that his brain was not enough.
Zhuang Mobai was stealing people inside, and Zhuang Chengye was arresting people outside.
What is going on?
He was panicking when the person in his arms moved slightly.
There was Sichuan cuisine in the evening. Zhuang Aiyi ate a few bites of hot water and then woke up after sleeping for a while.
I woke up and found myself in a dark closet, and I was scared.
Xu Yi quickly covered the child's mouth and whispered in his ear, "Don't make any sound, don't make any sound."
"I'm Uncle Xu Yi. We... ate melon seeds together, remember? There are a lot of bad guys outside. Your fathers... went to catch the bad guys. They asked me to take you to hide. You can't talk, otherwise we will be caught by the bad guys."
"Don't say a word. If you are caught, you will never see your fathers again."
After listening to this, Zhuang Aiyi nodded.
But Xu Yi did not let the child go, because in his heart, the child was really unreliable.
He listened to the noise outside and spoke to Zhuang Aiyi from time to time. In the darkness, he couldn't feel the time. Finally, Zhuang Aiyi fell asleep in his arms again.
After enduring until the second half of the night, Xu Yi put the sleeping Zhuang Aiyi in the cupboard and went out to take a look. The living room was covered in blood, as if it had been a silent massacre.
Regardless of whether Zhuang Mingxu is involved or not, the current situation is that the Zhuang family has arrested people from the Hunter Guild. If they want to interrogate them, they will definitely come to investigate the scene. We can't stay here anymore.
Xu Yi avoided the bloodstains, quietly went upstairs, searched several rooms, and found a large backpack.
He packed a bunch of food and drinks in the villa, went back to the kitchen to fill his stomach, tied Zhuang Aiyi to his body, and jumped out from the back wall.
Not long after Xu Yi left, Zhuang Mobai and his group appeared around the big tree.
**
The moment Zhuang Mingxu regained consciousness, he became alert.
He still remembered that he was attacked by Zhuang Mobai's men, and his men attracted Li Ji's men, saying that they wanted to...
Kill them all.
He quietly looked around him and found no living creature, so he slowly opened his eyes.
He was still wearing the clothes he had worn before he fainted. All he could see was white: a hospital bed, a flower pot, and a separate bathroom.
This overly familiar pattern and the unique smell in the air immediately let him know where he was.
He was taken to the laboratory.
So, what about Lu Weiyi?
Zhuang Mingxu stood up, his head aching. He reached out and touched it. It was wrapped in gauze. Compared with Lu Weiyi's careful knife move, Liu Cheng really hit him on the back of the head.
After making sure there were no surveillance devices around, he stood up and walked towards the door.
The sound of footsteps could be faintly heard in the corridor, and everyone was in a hurry.
I listened for a long time and all they talked about was experimental subject number X. I didn't get any useful information.
Zhuang Mingxu waited until the noise died down and then carefully opened the door.
——It’s a pity that there are surveillance cameras in the corridor.
Zhuang Mingxu took out a metal ball from the space and shot it towards the surveillance camera. This was something Lu Weiyi specially asked Antonio to make. The slingshot and the metal ball allowed him to attack effectively when it was inconvenient to expose the firearm.
After confirming that it was destroyed, he quietly left the room.
There was 206 written on the door, and the surrounding numbers all started with 2. Compared with the number starting with 1 he saw before, Zhuang Mingxu suspected that he was now on the second underground floor.
Thinking about how I decided to have the surgery after just a few glances, I was really a bit obsessed.
Now that he has calmed down, he can find that something seems to be wrong everywhere. Zhuang Mobai seems to have been guiding his thinking, especially when he is in front of Old Man Zhuang. Every word he says hits the point between him and Lu Weiyi.
Zhuang Mingxu gritted his teeth.
Lu Weiyi had little experience, so it was normal for him to be plotted against. He really didn't expect that he would fall for such an obvious provocation.
Too careless.
Zhuang Mingxu walked forward quietly. He saw people lying in every room, many of whom were wearing various instruments.
There were very few medical staff. He walked to the area marked with offices, put on a white coat, and kept destroying surveillance cameras along the way, wandering around openly.
He was almost at the end when he finally saw two people in white coats walking towards him. They were reading a document and didn't notice him.
Zhuang Mingxu randomly hid in a room where there was a dying patient with tubes inserted all over his body and various electronic devices at the head of the bed.
"Here, isn't it?"
“Yes, just adjust it.”
"I was too busy to make such a stupid mistake"
"Everyone has been working overtime since last night and is highly focused, which is great."
"I heard that more than 30 donors came in last night, all of them are A-grade. Is that true? We have a certain number of A-grade donors in our base, right?"
"Shhh"
"There are only two of us on this floor, the rest of us have gone to provide support."
"I heard that too, it seems... it is true, there is also a healing department and a psychiatric department."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... That's amazing. Do you think the recipients this time will still be those beggars?"
"What are you thinking? Such top-level donors are so rare. Is it a loss to give them to beggars? There are so many big shots waiting in line for transplants."
"That's great. I don't know when it will be our turn."
"Just think about it, and get to work"
As the two walked away, Zhuang Mingxu kept pondering in his mind.
There were more than thirty A-level people, including those from the healing and psychiatric departments, which must have included members of their team.
Donor, recipient, transplant...
He seemed to know what Zhuang Mobai meant by the awakening process.
This is the truth about surgery.
So--
Does his family know about this?
Zhuang Mingxu didn't dare to think too much, as he no longer wanted to bet on his position as the banker.
He checked the supplies in his space. He had weapons and everything, but this wall...
It's impossible to get through.
Before Zhuang Mingxu could come up with anything, the sound of footsteps of more than a dozen people were heard outside.
"Attention, people inside, you are surrounded," a voice came from the door.
The only person in the sealed room whose life or death was unknown was him, and he didn't even have a second option to escape.
Zhuang Mingxu took out the crystal core gun from the space, pointed it at the door, and waited for the person outside to open the door.
"Go down," Zhuang Mobai's voice came, and Zhuang Mingxu quickly put the gun into the space.
"Mingxu, open the door." Zhuang Mobai knocked on the door politely.
Zhuang Mingxu walked out. In addition to Zhuang Mobai, there was a group of gunmen outside. Half of them were holding real guns, specially supplied by the army, and the other half were holding something similar to a anesthetic gun with a blue injection on it.
There was no way that he, a man who would fall down after running two steps, could escape from these people.
"Grandpa, I was attacked by your people. I think you should give me an explanation," Zhuang Mingxu took the lead.
"I'm sorry, I've already punished Liu Cheng. I didn't expect him to be like this. Are you feeling unwell anywhere? I've put some painkillers at the bedside. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell us and we'll do a detailed check." Zhuang Mobai still looked like a kind elder.
"Why am I here? Where's Wei Yi?"
"..."Zhuang Mobai waved to the people behind him, and the group quickly evacuated, "I didn't see Wei Yi."
Zhuang Mingxu looked up and stared at him, his eyes full of anxiety and anger.
Zhuang Mobai led him back to the room and said, "You should have heard about the awakening of superpowers."
Zhuang Mingxu followed him slowly, and nodded heavily after a long while, "Where's Ai Yi?"
