The mission to rescue the professor thus began, but unfortunately the helicopter was useless, as many of those who knew how to fly helicopters had turned into zombies.
There were a few left, but the two planes they sent were shot down by monsters in the sky, especially when they flew at low altitudes close to the building.
Some terrifying monsters will jump out and attack the helicopter, making it impossible to get close. Moreover, flying at high altitudes is not entirely safe. Some monsters fly higher and faster, and are fearless. If they collide with the helicopter, there is a risk of crashing.
As for driving armored vehicles and tanks in, we've tried that too. It might have worked before, but recently the zombies have evolved and become much stronger. Their hearing and sense of taste are extremely powerful, and if there are too many of them, they get blocked and can only be trapped and die.
Some monsters can even become ethereal and enter the tank.
Only then was the task assigned to the super-powered team formed by the military.
However, the invisible team members couldn't bring others into the invisibility with them. At this time, they learned about someone who could teleport and started to plot against Gu Lingxiao.
When the authorities found out, they also wanted to get involved, which led to the current situation: a military superpowered squad and two official superpowered individuals.
I had tried to contact them several times before, but had not received a response.
The time spent reflecting on the past may seem long, but in reality, it only takes a moment.
After removing his goggles, face shield, and helmet, a rugged middle-aged man was revealed, with stubble still around his mouth.
I greeted them from afar.
Gu Lingchuan and the others gathered together, facing the approaching group.
When they approached Gu Lingchuan within 500 meters, a sense of danger enveloped the seven of them, an extremely strong sense of oppression, as if Gu Lingchuan could see through everything about them.
"Don't misunderstand, we mean no harm," said Zheng Guohao, the captain of the Superpower Squad, while waving his hand to indicate that he had no weapons.
The other members of the super team also slung their weapons behind their backs and waved.
The remaining two frowned, wondering if this was some kind of show of force.
Gu Lingchuan withdrew his mental domain, only enveloping the group to prevent a sudden attack.
At the same time, Gu Lingchuan collected information on all seven people.
"A first-stage evolutionary being before entering the extraordinary sequence, possessing eagle-eye abilities, a member of the military's superpowered squad, codenamed 'Thousand-Mile Eye,' evolutionary direction—Form."
"A pre-transcendence stage two evolutionary creature, possessing enhanced power abilities, a member of the military's superpowered squad, codenamed Giant Spirit God, evolutionary direction—Form."
"A pre-transcendence stage two evolutionary creature, possessing speed-enhancing abilities, a member of a military super-powered squad, codenamed 'Godwalker,' evolutionary direction—Form."
"A pre-transcendence stage two evolutionary creature, possessing the ability of invisibility, a member of the military's superpowered squad, codenamed Ghost, evolutionary direction—Qi."
"A pre-transcendence stage two evolutionary creature, possessing the superpower of fire control, captain of a military superpower squad, codenamed Zhu Rong, evolutionary direction—Qi."
"An evolved being in the first stage before entering the extraordinary sequence, possessing enhanced speed abilities, an official evolved being, evolutionary direction—Form."
"An evolved creature in the second stage before entering the extraordinary sequence, possessing the ability to transform into a beast, currently capable of transforming into a wild boar, an official evolved being, evolutionary direction—form."
The release of the spiritual realm was not for demonstration, but to obtain information from the other party.
Both the government and the military have come, and it seems they've come specifically for us. They've most likely taken a liking to us evolved individuals.
As for that small population and its talent pool, the other side probably wouldn't even consider it, and even if they did, they wouldn't send a team full of evolved humans.
"Are you from the military?" Gu Lingchuan asked, judging from their attire, this was the only way to ask.
A middle-aged man codenamed Zhurong stood thirty meters away and said with a smile, "Yes, I contacted you a few days ago, but I don't know what happened after that, I couldn't get in touch with you."
"There was a slight mishap, but wasn't it the official survivor base that contacted us before?" Gu Lingchuan naturally wouldn't say that someone had contacted them privately.
Zheng Guohao rubbed his forehead. This was also the reason why the authorities were able to get involved. At a meeting, the authorities provided a person with the ability to teleport using spatial abilities, namely Gu Lingxiao.
“The people who contacted you before were indeed government officials, but we couldn’t reach you when the military tried to contact you later. These two are government officials,” Zheng Guohao said.
"I see. So, what brings you here?" Gu Lingchuan continued to ask.
"There's something I need you to do. Once it's done, you can join our survivor base," another official second-stage beast-transformation evolver said before Zhu Rong could speak.
Their tone was very impolite, as if allowing them to join their survivor base was a great favor.
To Gu Lingchuan's dismay, so many zombie corpses had no deterrent effect whatsoever; all his previous efforts had been in vain.
Another first-stage speed-type evolver greedily eyed the bulging backpacks in Gu Lingchuan and the others' hands.
With so many zombie corpses, how many zombie crystals must there be? Zombie crystals are a form of hard currency these days. Although they are slowly depreciating, one crystal can still be exchanged for a day's worth of supplies.
Moreover, these are relatively good supplies.
"We need to discuss the specifics." Having missiles, nuclear bombs, and hydrogen bombs gives us a tough stance.
“Let me speak,” Zheng Guohao stepped forward and said.
"At least invite us to a proper place to talk. Do you think this is a place to talk? Don't you know any manners?" Before Zheng Guohao could speak, the man spoke again.
"No one will think you're mute if you don't speak," Zheng Guohao said, getting annoyed. They'd been picking fights all along the way, and given the current situation, the evolved beings on the other side were clearly stronger than them. Talking like that was just asking for trouble.
If the other side has a chance to capture us all, we can hide and die in vain.
"Zheng Guohao, what do you mean? We're on the same level; you have no right to order me around."
“I left you two here and went back to say you were attacked by a monster. Do you think they’ll avenge you? You really think you’re important figures in the government? You’re just two dogs kept by the government,” Zheng Guohao said bluntly.
"You..." The man wanted to say something, but when he met Zheng Guohao's murderous gaze, he immediately shut his mouth.
Turning his head with a smile and extending his hand, he said, "You flatter me. May I ask which of the Gu brothers you are?"
Judging from their positions, it's clear that this person, whether Gu Lingchuan or Gu Lingxiao, is the one in charge.
Gu Lingchuan smiled and extended his hand to shake his, saying, "I am Gu Lingchuan."
"So it's President Gu. I'll get straight to the point then." Zheng Guohao then explained the mission of rescuing the professor.
He then added, "Of course, this isn't a free favor; we can discuss any conditions."
