Chapter 419: Out of Control of Superpowers
It looked like he was recording some inspiration or something. Not only was there no one to disturb him in the team, but the voices were also several degrees lower.
In fact, Lu Weiyi was passing notes to Zhuang Mingxu - just like what students used to do in class, except that the notes became a notebook with two people's handwriting on it.
He told Zhuang Mingxu about his discovery and discussed the arrangements for this group of people. In the end, neither of them revealed the result, but they unanimously decided to keep it secret for the time being.
In the distance, Ning Yuan's voice could be heard loudly calling on Li Qing and others to be on guard. In the carriage not far away, there was the deafening sound of everyone snoring, and the world was divided into two with Lu Weiyi as the center.
The words on the paper gradually turned from serious matters to love talks. Zhuang Mingxu wrote with a strong pen, "I miss you very much."
Lu Weiyi started writing without waiting for a reply. Li Zhuang, who was sleeping on the side, seemed to be in a nightmare. Sweat broke out on his forehead and he was breathing heavily. He even began to struggle. His supernatural powers unconsciously emanated from his body. The ground became uneven and the parked car woke up the people on it due to the bumpy ride.
Antonio rushed down first, holding Dean in his arms, and asked cautiously, "Is there an earthquake?"
"No," Lu Weiyi replied, and shouted, "Li Zhuang!"
Li Zhuang was surrounded by a wall, completely encasing him. Anyone who tried to get close would be attacked immediately.
The other people in the car also got out quickly. They were all confused when they saw this situation. They didn't know what was going on.
Still Antonio wondered, "Is he having a nightmare?"
"It seems so. You lead your men to retreat." Lu Weiyi raised his foot again, and a half-person-thick earth spike suddenly bent in front of him, stabbing towards Lu Weiyi like a scimitar.
Antonio was just about to help when he sensed the emergence of another supernatural power. Earth spikes immediately attacked him, and he had to quickly resolve the crisis in front of him.
"All of you retreat." The S-level mutant lost control, and the land around Li Zhuang began to tremble violently. The ground sank from time to time and suddenly rose into the sky. The covered area continued to expand outward, and there were more and more cracks in the ground, as if a ground fissure had occurred.
"Be careful," Antonio said, and led his men to retreat quickly in the direction where Ning Yuan was in the distance.
"Li Zhuang! Li Zhuang--!" Lu Weiyi kept shouting Li Zhuang's name, hoping to wake him up directly. However, the impact of the earth-based supernatural power made him retreat continuously, and the distance between the two widened by hundreds of meters in a blink of an eye.
As soon as the mental power was released, it was immediately captured by Li Zhuang's supernatural power, and he launched a counterattack instantly.
Lu Weiyi was very regretful at this moment. He shouldn't have let this person guard against mental power in the first place. What happened now?
Seeing that he was about to bury him in front, Lu Weiyi hurriedly dispersed his mental power in all directions, diverting his supernatural attack while commanding the small green branches to hit him.
However, Li Zhuang was very vigilant, and no moving object could escape his capture. The moment the little green branch approached, he sensed the danger, and instantly a two-meter-high fist condensed from the ground flew towards Lu Weiyi.
"Old Li, what are you doing?" Ning Yuan's voice came howling from not far away.
Lu Weiyi condensed his mental strength, covered his entire arm with SS-level supernatural powers, and at the moment the fist hit him, he pushed forward with force.
The confrontation of strength made his hair fly. With a loud bang, the sky was filled with dust and Lu Weiyi's figure could no longer be seen.
Ning Yuan immediately gathered his special energy and attacked Li Zhuang. Li Zhuang clenched his fists and hit his chest with them. Two colliding fists appeared in the air again, as if they were being commanded by him invisibly.
He attacked first with a hook punch, and an ice wall appeared. Under the impact of his huge fist, it didn't last for a second and shattered into countless ice chips. Ning Yuan didn't expect that he would use all his superpowers to attack. While dodging, he howled, "You're fucking crazy."
Something suddenly wrapped around his waist, and then Ning Yuan was thrown out. He saw that Lu Weiyi's usually clean and tidy clothes were covered with mud. He took two steps forward and punched the fist again.
As his fist shattered, another fist swung over and was shattered again.
As the two giant fists shattered, four giant fists appeared in the air again. Lu Weiyi was not affected at all. He seemed to be fighting back lightly, and each punch he threw could accurately knock down the opponent's fist.
The surrounding land has stopped changing, and Li Zhuang seems to have put all his supernatural powers into fighting against Lu Weiyi's supernatural powers.
Ning Yuan saw that Li Zhuang seemed to be no match for his opponent, but the invisible energy of the whistling fists could affect him. He simply stepped back a long way and watched the fun with Antonio and others who had returned.
The trees around were affected by the energy and shattered into pieces, flying all over the sky. The air was filled with the astringent smell of plant juices, and small animals fled hurriedly from their feet from time to time.
"Is this SS-level ability?" Antonio stared at the distance with burning eyes, "Do you think I have a chance of winning if I fight Lu?"
"Guess," Ning Yuan replied.
"I don't think metal fists will break"
Ning Yuan thought about it and felt that it was unrealistic for the metal to condense such a large amount of metal outside the body, so it was not possible to directly cover the arm.
Ning Yuan thought of the energy that had just hit him and said with pity, "I think your arm might explode."
"It will turn into slag," he said to Antonio, pointing at the small pieces of dirt splashing everywhere.
Antonio shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't look like Lee can take advantage."
"The key is that Lu Weiyi doesn't know how to fight. He purely relies on his superpowers to fight back. But Li Zhuang is different. He is proficient in all kinds of close combat." Ning Yuan was not optimistic.
"But you forgot that Li's ability level limits him to only being able to condense his fists and attack, and it seems that he can't control too much with ease, so..."
As Antonio finished his words, Li Zhuang, who had been fighting calmly on the opposite side, was suddenly hit on the head by a whip from a small green branch that came from nowhere.
"Fuck!" Li Zhuang shouted and suddenly opened his eyes. His sharp gaze followed the direction of the little green branch. At the same time, a giant hand condensed above his head.
Lu Weiyi swung it again, and the little green branch hit him hard again, with a crisp "pop" sound that was particularly loud.
"What's wrong with you two? Why don't you talk it out calmly? Why are you fighting?" Ning Yuan saw that he woke up and hurried over.
"Are you awake?" Lu Weiyi said to Li Zhuang with a gloomy face.
The big hand above Li Zhuang's head turned into countless dust and fell down. Li Zhuang pinched his eyebrows, raised his foot to leave, but fell to the ground first and smashed directly into the ground.
Zheng Jun hurriedly patched up the cracked ground and pulled Li Zhuang out of the pit, his eyes wandering between Lu Weiyi and Li Zhuang.
"We are all teammates, so let's talk it out nicely if you have anything to say." Li Qing, still with injuries on his body, stood in the middle and acted as a peacemaker.
"He had a nightmare while he was sleeping, and his supernatural powers went out of control," Lu Weiyi explained lightly and asked, "What did you dream about? I called you for a long time."
Li Zhuang pinched his brows, feeling like his head was about to explode with pain. After he reached a higher level, he hadn't had this kind of headache caused by overdraft for a long time.
"Give me a crystal core." He stretched out his hand to Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi quickly threw two packets to him, and after he absorbed them, his expression relaxed a lot.
"I dreamed about things in the past," Li Zhuang answered his previous question, looked at Lu Weiyi, and asked jokingly, "Young Master, you are not hurt, right?"
"Of course not." Lu Weiyi raised his chin and quickly absorbed the crystal core. There was no expression on his face, but he secretly decided that he would learn fighting when he returned.
"Is there anything happening at the base? Have you contacted them?" Li Zhuang asked Antonio.
"I contacted you yesterday and everything is fine." Antonio waved his hand and looked at him with a puzzled look, "Who do you want to ask specifically?"
Li Zhuang ignored him and turned to ask Lu Weiyi, "When will we return?"
"Early tomorrow morning" Lu Weiyi looked at him, "Are you anxious?"
"...Fortunately." After a day, Li Zhuang felt that it shouldn't be such a coincidence.
He gestured to the others to continue sleeping, and Lu Weiyi continued to keep watch. However, Li Zhuang sat aside and did not rest.
"If you're in a hurry, we can go back at daybreak. We've gained a lot this time." They dug two large coal mines, which were enough to support their base for two to three years.
Li Zhuang stroked the grass leaves he picked up from the ground, and after a long while said, "Don't worry, just bring more things if you waste the oil."
Lu Weiyi didn't say anything.
The next day, the group continued. Li Zhuang didn't show anything, but he was obviously not concentrating. When he was exploring the coal mine alone, he was pecked by a mutant bird, on the face.
Dean looked at the wound on his cheek that was so deep that the bone could be seen due to a piece of flesh being missing, and found it unbelievable. He had seen many people in the team injured, but this was the first time that Li Zhuang had suffered such an injury. "How did you get it? It almost hit your eye."
Dean asked anxiously, covering it with his supernatural powers and repairing the cells bit by bit.
"I didn't notice." Li Zhuang wanted to laugh but was stopped by Dean.
"Be careful with the bumps," Dean said, muttering, "Luckily, I'm already an excellent "plastic surgeon"."
Lu Weiyi looked at him, turned around and gave an order, "Everyone take a rest, and we will return to the base after lunch."
Li Zhuang raised his eyes and looked over, opened his mouth, and finally chuckled, but said nothing.
There was still a group of people waiting to be picked up at the Kyoto base. After thinking it over, Lu Weiyi asked Li Zhuang to take the others directly back to the base. He and Antonio took Ning Yuan to the Kyoto base to pick them up.
"Why don't you go back directly?" Li Zhuang asked.
"There may be a lot of supplies over there that I need to get." Lu Weiyi stared at him for a long time, combined with all the things that have happened recently, and asked in disbelief, "Are you worried about Xu Yi?"
Li Zhuang did not deny it. Looking at Lu Weiyi's surprised gaze, he clicked his tongue and said, "I dreamed that he died."
He took a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and added softly, "It exploded into pieces of meat."
"There's no one around."
I didn’t know before that Xu Yi was worried about the upgrade. After I knew it, the image of him curling up into a ball before leaving often appeared in my mind. He was like a helpless kitten, not knowing who to trust.
