"Boss, you mean they eat the crystal cores in the heads of mutants to enhance their own abilities? Just like we dig out the crystal cores in the heads of zombies to absorb energy?"
For the first time, Gu Xiao was thankful that he did not activate his supernatural powers.
Although Huo Yi didn't say anything, the gloom in his eyes showed how heavy his heart was.
Song Yuan nodded, then said calmly: "It's just the law of the jungle!"
He pondered for a moment, then continued, "I believe it's not just these things in the mountains, but also the zombies. It's all the same! I don't know what's going on in City B, but if there's no good countermeasure, the zombie virus will break out in the mutants' bodies, and the zombies will devour the mutants to enhance their abilities. Either way, it will be a major blow to humanity!"
When everyone heard this, they fell silent!
...Birds of a feather flock together!
Song Yuan was not only worried about Mr. Song in City B, but also about Qin Qing who was wandering alone.
In his impression, Qin Qing was just a cold and introverted girl.
From the information he collected, he learned that she was not too weak, which made him feel relieved but also more guilty!
If a girl's personality changes drastically, it must be caused by the environment.
But he didn't fulfill his promise to take good care of her!
"Boss, I don't know what happened to the road to Longcheng, but now I can't find it!"
One of his men hurried back and saw Song Yuan, Gu Xiao and the others there. After saluting, he spoke hurriedly.
"What did you say?"
Gu Xiao was so stimulated by the news again and again that he jumped up!
Song Yuan also frowned, his heart sinking. They had carefully explored the road to Longcheng earlier. Originally, they planned to move forward slowly after the zombie virus in the bodies of the psychics in the team was cleaned up.
Now, how could it disappear inexplicably?
"Have you taken the wrong road? How could a good road disappear?"
Song Yuan asked in a deep voice.
However, he didn't expect that the subordinate shook his head firmly, raised his head and looked at them with fear in his eyes.
"There's no way we could be wrong. We've all taken turns exploring that route countless times! And...!"
Having said that, he paused, opened his mouth, and seemed to be hesitant to speak!
Seeing this, Gu Xiao angrily said, "And what? Stop hesitating like a woman!"
Hearing Gu Xiao's temper, the subordinate quickly replied, "Also, we've discovered that not only is the road to Longcheng gone, but we can't even find the way back!"
When Song Yuan heard this, he looked at Huo Yi and Gu Xiao. The three of them thought of a possibility at the same time, and Song Yuan, who had been calm, finally changed his expression.
Looking up and around, I saw that the sky was still blue and the trees not far away were still green.
However, for no reason, a chill ran through the bones of the body.
This forest now surrounds this group of people and keeps them in captivity!
That disappearing road is probably the masterpiece of this forest!
The team members disappeared one by one, just because they wanted to enjoy the food slowly!
Although the crystal cores in the heads of psychics are useful to them, it does not mean that they do not like the flesh and blood of ordinary people.
Wang Xiaobao helped Lu Chi absorb a crystal core but it was of no use, and there was no sign of him waking up!
Seeing Lu Chi like this, Wang Xiaobao helped him absorb four or five pills in a row. Not to mention Qin Qing, even Li Xiong and the others' expressions changed!
He quickly stopped Wang Xiaobao from taking another crystal core. Under normal circumstances, two mutated crystal cores can fully replenish the energy of the supernatural power!
Even Li Xiong had only absorbed three at most, and by then his head felt a bit swollen and painful!
Now Wang Xiaobao has helped Lu Chi absorb the fifth crystal core. If he absorbs any more, his body might not be able to withstand too much energy and then explode, right?
"How come he didn't wake up after absorbing so many crystal cores? Is there anything wrong?"
Everyone was concerned about Qin Qing just now, so they ignored Lu Chi.
Now seeing that Lu Chi hadn't woken up for such a long time, he couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Even Zhou Shan, who had always been prejudiced against Lu Chi, couldn't help but reveal a hint of worry in his eyes.
Qin Qing stepped forward to take a look, only to find that Lu Chi's face looked normal. She signaled Cheng Xinxin to pinch Lu Chi's wrist, and then concentrated her mental power to investigate what was going on!
But after Cheng Xinxin opened her eyes, she shook her head blankly at her.
This proves that Cheng Xinxin's mental power is unable to detect anything unusual about Lu Chi, but Lu Chi absorbed so much energy from the crystal cores, and Cheng Xinxin didn't feel anything wrong, right?
Qin Qing ignored his own injuries and also condensed a spiritual force to place it on Lu Chi's arm.
The mental power probed through Lu Chi's body, but just like Cheng Xinxin, he didn't notice anything wrong!
Even the absorbed crystal core energy was not detected at all. This result surprised Qin Qing.
He withdrew his hand and looked at the sleeping Lu Chi with a strange expression.
...A thought flashed through Qin Qing's mind. Could it be that Lu Chi's supernatural power disappeared?
"Qin Qing, how is he?"
Seeing Qin Qing so surprised, Li Xiong immediately stepped forward and asked.
Qin Qing was silent for a moment, then shook her head. The mental energy she had just condensed made her already injured body feel a little tired.
When everyone saw Qin Qing like this, they thought Lu Chi’s injury was serious!
They looked at each other in surprise. If he had not used all his strength to attack, not only Qin Qing, but they would all have died in the attack of the giant snake.
"Hey, take good care of it!"
Now they are in this forest and there is no way to save them.
However, if we can reach the base, there should be a way to treat it, right?
It is impossible to return to Qingcheng Base. Now they can only move forward, one step at a time!
Whether Lu Chi can survive until they reach the next town and base depends on his fate!
Li Xiong could only order Zhou Shan to increase the speed of the car again and again, and treat this winding mountain road as a racing route, driving forward all the way.
However, they didn't know that the map they had originally obtained from Old Jiangtou was genuine, but due to crustal movement, the mountain road that led to Qingcheng Base sixty kilometers south had become the direction of Longcheng.
So, when Zhou Shan drove down the winding mountain road and thought he could enter the plain and find the town, he discovered that everything was beyond everyone's expectations.
"What's going on? Logically, it's only 60 kilometers. After we go over this mountain and down the hill, we should be entering the town right away, right?"
Zhou Shan and Li Xiong looked at the emerald green forest in front of them, which was densely packed, lush and tall.
The winding mountain road was completely cut off in the middle!
