Chapter 97 Crystal Core
This sentence ignited the anger of more than two thousand people.
In the eyes of these people, Mo Fei and his group were invaders who destroyed the base and put their lives in danger.
Moreover, even though there seemed to be a few powerful figures on Mo Fei's side, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. For example, the two young children, and the two old men who seemed to have no special powers at all.
With such a huge disparity in strength, they had no way of competing against more than 2,000 people.
Whether they are killed or imprisoned, they must be given an explanation by these people to calm the anger in their hearts.
But among the more than 2,000 people, there were still a few who remained silent.
One of them is Li Xilan, who once helped Mo Fei deal with Yan Xinghai, and the two can be considered friends.
There are also some colleagues who have worked with Mo Fei in the cafeteria, as well as some foodies who have eaten the food cooked by Mo Fei and can't forget it.
They stood in the crowd and watched the confrontation between the two sides, neither questioning nor lending support, but silently choosing to remain neutral.
Mo Fei glanced at the crowd, moved the corners of his mouth, and made his voice louder:
"I didn't summon the snakes to harm anyone. With so many snakes entering, how many of you were bitten? It's the Bai family in your base that went too far. They couldn't even accommodate a small place like our Hexi Town. They insisted on gathering everyone in your base. I didn't agree, so I asked a level 3 puppeteer to make a puppet that looked like me in order to replace the original with the original."
"After the puppet was exposed, the Bai family took advantage of the earthquake when I was not in town and sent 20 Level 4 Psychics to kidnap my family and friends and directly sucked out the water source of our town. I came here only to save people and get an explanation, not for anything else. If you don't believe me, there are more than 20 people in our town who are imprisoned in your base. You can go and find them."
What Mo Fei said was basically true, and he directly identified the base as the perpetrator of the evil deeds.
In other words, it was almost like telling these people directly that the reason they suffered the shock today was because of the Bai family, the people in power at the base.
The focus of the attack suddenly shifted, and these people's resentment towards Mo Fei and the others was at least reduced by half.
Although Mo Jianian and his men were brought back to the base secretly, there is no wall that is impenetrable.
Those guarding the gate of the base are the ones who know the truth.
They couldn't ask who Bai Jiawei brought back, but everyone was aware that a group of unregistered strangers had come in.
It’s just that due to the influence of the Bai family, they dare not spread the gossip.
Now that the two sides were in a standoff, Mo Fei made the matter clear, leaving them no room for disbelief.
Someone in the crowd said:
"It seems so. Those snakes looked scary, but they didn't bite us."
"Maybe she really wanted to save people. Look at those people following her. They are all strangers. Before, Bai Jiawei took them to visit the base, and I took a few more glances. I didn't expect that they were kidnapped."
"The Bai family has built this base, and now their ambitions are growing. I didn't expect that they would not even let go of a small town."
"It's not the same. Our base has people and things. Why does the Bai family have to annex a small town? Just a few dozen people can't do much. I don't think we can trust everything Mo Fei says."
…
Various sounds emerge one after another.
"Bai Qi, if you hand over the other people in this town, I won't kill you."
Mo Fei had a blank expression on his face, but in fact he was extremely angry, with a chilling chill surrounding his entire body.
First, Bai Qi tortured Su Cong, and then he kidnapped and imprisoned her family and friends, and injured her two children. She still said "I won't kill you" because she gave him one last chance because Bai Qi had saved her life before.
He is a level 6 psychic who can control zombies, but she has also reached level 6 space. As a space lord, she can bring out countless creatures to fight for her, and she has space laws for defense and iron pots for attack. Even if she faces more than 2,000 people, she is not afraid.
This is the confidence that gives her the courage to stand here at this moment.
She didn't notice that Ran Bing and Lin Jiye secretly ran in from the direction where Mo Jianian and the others had just escaped.
Bai Qi was listening to Mo Fei the whole time, with a smile on his calm face that could even be described as warm.
He seemed to completely agree with everything Mo Fei said, and didn't care about the change in public opinion at all. Only when Mo Fei looked at him and spoke to him, his dark brown eyes moved slightly, and he returned a focused look, indicating that he was listening carefully.
"A Fei, your friends all stayed here voluntarily. I didn't force them. I didn't expect you to misunderstand me like this."
Bai Qi spoke slowly, with a hint of sadness in his tone, as if he was the most innocent person in the whole thing.
Bai Mingxu stood beside Bai Qi. Bai Mingxu gave a look and the Bai family guards brought the people out.
Those who were brought out were all from the town.
But after only two days of not seeing them, Mo Fei discovered that they had all risen to level 4. They exuded the huge energy of level 4 superpowers, which could not be faked at all.
Mo Fei couldn't help but glance at Lin Jiyuan, and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Mo Jianian and the others couldn't help but frown.
I had heard from Mianmian and other people in the base that the Bai family had a method to quickly upgrade their abilities, but I didn't expect it to be true. And it happened in such a short time.
"Xiao Ye, what are you doing?" Wei Xuemin asked.
The man named Xiao Ye gave Wei Xuemin a cold look, as if he didn't know him at all, but he still answered: "We volunteered to stay in the base. The base treats us very well."
Some other people in the town who had become Level 4 also spoke in unison: "You misunderstood, we are doing well. If it weren't for Bai Qi, how could we have become Level 4 so quickly."
As they spoke, these people nodded towards Bai Qi to express their gratitude.
Bai Qi smiled gently: "We lost some men when we went to Lotus Pier to clear out the sea monster. If you are willing, you are welcome to join the Bai Family Guard."
There was no doubt about their answers. No one would refuse Bai Qi.
"We are willing to join the Baijiawei and protect the base for you."
"I feel like something is not right. They seem to be possessed by evil spirits." Mo Fei said to Lin Jiyuan.
Lin Jiyuan: "Yeah. It could be mind control."
After everyone's superpowers reach level 4, even the same type of superpowers will mutate into different skills. Bai Qi is a level 6 spiritual type, which means he has mutated 3 times. No one knows what level Bai Qi's ability can reach.
There are still subtle differences between people who are under mental control and ordinary people.
Now these 20 or so people look very dull, like 20 or so walking human machines.
If you observe carefully, you will definitely be able to see their weirdness.
But now almost everyone is shocked by this news. As long as they are loyal to the Bai family, they can improve their own strength and allow themselves and their families to live a better life.
The look they gave Bai Qi was filled with endless fanaticism.
Faced with the huge temptation of benefits, one after another rushed to show up in front of Bai Qi, hoping that they could also upgrade their superpowers at the speed of rocketing, and have the qualifications and treatment to join the Bai family guards.
The relatively stable life they lead now is all thanks to the Bai family, and they would never think that there is anything strange about it.
Bai Mingxu stood aside and watched all this coldly.
These fools would never think that the Bai Qi standing in front of them was not a human at all. At the beginning, the engineering team of the Bai Group dug up a bronze coffin covered with rust and found an ancient zombie whose body had not yet completely decayed. His stupid elder brother actually wanted to contact the relevant departments to seal off the area, but he was stabbed to death by the awakened ancient zombie with a halberd.
When his elder brother died, he stood not far away, watching the spurting blood splash on his face. He saw Bai Qi turn his head, revealing a gloomy and terrifying face.
Since then, Bai Mingxu's worldview has completely changed.
He chose to follow Bai Qi and became the official head of the Bai family, handling all the troubles for Bai Qi.
According to Bai Qi, ancient zombies like him exist almost everywhere in the world. Ancient zombies are born superior to the current zombies, just like the difference between superpowers and ordinary people, and zombies will consciously submit to the ancient zombies in this area. But there are also differences in strength between ancient zombies.
Bai Qi must develop his strength as quickly as possible before other ancient zombies discover the Baishi territory, so as to prepare for the future.
Bai Mingxu soon witnessed how Bai Qi developed his power.
This method is not only beneficial to Bai Qi himself, but also to them. Such a strange but effective method, even if it has some side effects, is enough to completely eliminate all the resistance of the Bai family. They are completely bound and locked with this strange ancient zombie, using each other.
So when many people didn't even know what superpowers were, the Bai family had already joined the ranks of superpowers one by one. They also planned and prepared in advance, which led to their current status in the base.
At this point in time, Bai Mingxu even found it hard to imagine how their Bai family would survive the natural disasters without Bai Qi.
No one understood better than him why Bai Qi wanted to trap Mo Fei in the base. By killing people of the same kind and taking away their energy from their superpower crystal cores, one could indeed upgrade quickly, and even have a certain chance of inheriting their superpowers. But the side effect was that these people's bodies would slowly develop rejection reactions, and unbearable pain would accompany them every day. At first it was one hour, then two hours, until the pain was present all the time every day.
Bai Qi's mood swings are largely due to this pain.
Until that day, he felt the presence of Mo Fei in the mall. The extremely powerful spiritual ability made him feel relieved the moment he felt Mo Fei. This feeling became more obvious after he ate the food made by Mo Fei.
Mo Fei, or Mo Fei's space, is what Bai Qi and those who rely on Bai Qi's method to take shortcuts must obtain.
Bai Mingxu was lost in thought when he was suddenly brought back to reality by a voice.
Someone threw a sack of stuff in front of everyone. Bai Mingxu looked up and found that it was someone from Mo Fei's side, one of them was called Ran Bing and the other was called Lin Jiye.
Mo Fei opened his eyes wide and looked at the two people who disappeared and reappeared at an unknown time: "What are you two doing?"
Lin Jiye blinked and smiled with a hint of pride: "I took him to find something."
Combustible Ice nodded beside him, looking even more proud, thanks to his extraordinary sense of smell. It took a while to find these things in the base.
The sack was heavy, and the things inside made a crisp sound when they collided with each other. The mouth of the sack was not tied tightly, and the things inside soon rolled out in front of everyone.
There were fist-sized mutant crystal cores with brilliant light flowing inside.
Lin Jiye's voice rang out: "You said before that your Baijiawei lost a lot of people. I think the lost people are all here, right? Or more than that, a lot of people disappear from your base every now and then, I think those people are also here."
"What's the meaning?"
"What's going on?"
"Isn't that a human crystal core?"
"You know what, those people taken away by Bai Jiawei never came back."
"Why is it getting more and more scary?"
"No, I don't understand. Didn't we follow the group to punish the person who released the snake in the beginning? What's going on now?"
…
Almost no one knew that even after death, the superpowers would have crystal cores. Because no normal person would choose to dissect and crush the brains of their own kind, and would not be able to bear to see the images of brain matter and blood intertwined. Naturally, no one would know.
But now there is a whole sack of crystal cores belonging to humans, and it seems that only a part of them have been found. A large part has been consumed.
