Chapter 331 The Storm is Coming
So, it grew out, and then it was cut off, and then it grew out, and then it was cut off again. After repeating this process several times, the blackened rotten flesh became less and less, and cutting the flesh became just shaving the flesh. Finally, Zhu Gaoting fainted again.
Seeing that it was almost done, Hua Yang looked up and signaled Wu Tianqi to put the person into the barrel.
Wu Tianqi skillfully put Zhu Gaoting into the wooden barrel. The dark blue water continued to flow out after it covered Zhu Gaoting's neck.
The operating room has a drainage system, and Hua Yang is not worried about it at all. The dark blue water in the wooden barrel keeps replacing the old with the new, the new goes in, the old comes out. The water that comes out is so dark that it makes your scalp numb.
"Gu Xiaoyue, why are you in a daze? Keep giving him spiritual water and don't stop!"
After several operations, although Zhu Gaoting's face was still pale, the new flesh growing on his legs was no longer as dark as before.
And the color of the water overflowing from the wooden barrel gradually faded.
"Okay, stop!" Hua Yang said to Gu Xiaoyue. Gu Xiaoyue obediently handed the spiritual water back to Hua Yang.
"What's wrong with Yangyang? Isn't she still not awake?"
Hua Yang watched Gu Renbin cut off another piece of flesh from Zhu Gaoting's calf, and then said.
"I have my own plans."
She wanted to recruit Zhu Gaoting into her team, so she saved him. But she knew that Zhu Gaoting was now a member of the Zhu family, and it would not be easy to get him to join her team.
Wu Tianqi and Gu Renbin carried the man onto the operating table. Hua Yang observed Zhu Gaoting's condition and asked, "Is he recovering too quickly? Will people outside notice anything unusual?"
Gu Xiaoyue and Wu Tianqi didn't say anything. Gu Renbin frowned and watched for a while. Before he could return the dagger in his hand to Hua Yang, he suddenly slashed Zhu Gaoting's calf again.
This action made Hua Yang and the other three juniors stunned.
"Grandpa, what are you doing?"
"His injury is so severe. If he recovers too quickly, it will arouse suspicion! There are many people with special abilities who have been killed by black scorpions. If someone compares them with others, Hua Yang will be easily exposed."
"Then you can't just throw away the calf meat again!" Gu Xiaoyue looked at Zhu Gaoting's calf, where her grandfather had scraped off a large piece of meat with a dagger, revealing the bones. It was so difficult that she swallowed her saliva to relieve her surprise.
"Hand me the gauze and iodine. Xiaoyue, come here and bandage his calf injury as if it were a normal wound." Gu Renbin handed the dagger in his hand to Hua Yang and gave up his seat to Gu Xiaoyue.
He looked at Hua Yang, and saw Hua Yang looking at him as well. "It seems like Hua Yang has something to say to me?"
The old man and the young man retreated and came to Gu Renbin's private office and closed the door. Just in case, Hua Yang covered the entire perimeter of the office with mist. The two talked inside for nearly half an hour before walking out together.
After the Yao family's superpower team cleaned up every corner of the base, the Zhu family, Wu family, and Gu family arrived one after another. The black scorpion corpse at the base was eaten by the flying fat mantis summoned by Hua Yang. The Tang family headed the research and quickly sent someone to collect the black scorpion corpse, but was stopped by Hua Yang who had just come out of the temporary hospital.
The Tang family was engaged in research, and the laboratory was also engaged in research. In Hua Yang's opinion, the nature of research was dark, and perhaps the Tang family had some connection with the laboratory and the doctor.
"You can't take the black scorpion's body away." After saying that, Hua Yang instructed Xiao Lu to pick up the black scorpion's body and bring it to the roof of Yao's western-style house, and leave it in the open air.
The head of the Tang family died, but the Tang family was not so easy to break up. The person sent this time was a third-level wind-type ability user. Seeing Hua Yang's obstruction, he was so angry that he launched a wind blade directly at Hua Yang.
Unfortunately, after Hua Yang entered the intermediate stage, the power of the water shield also changed qualitatively. A layer of dark blue water shield appeared in front of her, which was enough to protect the three of them.
The wind blade of the third-level psychic was loud and powerful, and seemed to be agile and nimble, but it was like scraping on the thin water shield in front of Hua Yang, and only scraped out a little dark blue water splash before disappearing without a trace.
"If you have this much time, you might as well go back to the Tang family and guard it well, and see if you can get a better position from the newly elected head of the family. If you go back too late, you will get nothing."
Of the original five major families, after this incident, the Tang family's presence in people's minds plummeted. The Yao family, which was already powerful, rose sharply in people's minds, and there was a sense that they had unified the base.
In addition to the Tang family, the heads of the four major families came to the police station branch meeting hall at the gate of the base with their supernatural guards, and Hua Yang was also invited to participate.
In the meeting room, the heads of the four major families were accompanied by two supernatural beings for protection. However, Hua Yang believed that the supernatural beings who could attend the meeting also had a certain say in the meeting.
However, this time, besides a Level 2 Fire Psychic, Zhu Litao, the head of the Zhu family, had a Level 3 Wind Psychic who was not very old. After the man followed Zhu Litao in, he smiled and nodded to Hua Yang in a friendly manner when he saw her.
Hua Yang raised her eyebrows in confusion but did not respond. It was Gu Xiaoyue who reminded her quietly behind her.
"Do you still remember the pregnant woman from the Zhu family that you saved in the pregnant women isolation area that day?"
"I don't remember, which one?"
"The one who rolled on the ground, her name is Qiao Mi, the only biological sister of Zhu Litao's wife."
"Oh, her." After remembering it, he still looked at Gu Xiaoyue in confusion. "What is the relationship between Qiao Mi and the person in front of him?"
"This man is Qiao Mi's husband. He is a third-level wind-type supernatural being and a very powerful person. The head of the Zhu family relies heavily on him."
Hua Yang nodded indifferently and ignored it. She sat down next to Yao Tianqing, the Yao family's assistant. This was originally the seat of the Tang family.
Seeing Hua Yang sitting down casually and confidently, Gu Heqiu angrily said with a stern face, "No rules! They are your elders, how can you be so presumptuous!"
After Hua Yang sat down, he glanced at Gu Xiaoyue and Wu Tianqi, and stood up again. He moved the other two chairs next to him and said, "Xiaoyue, Brother Wu, you guys should sit down too. They are all our elders, they won't bother with us!"
Gu Heqiu was embarrassed by Hua Yang's words. Yao Tianqing smiled in a very good mood.
"Of course, they are all your elders, Xiao Wu, Xiao Yue, Yang Yang, the three of you can sit wherever you want! You're welcome!"
This sentence made Gu Heqiu even more embarrassed. His face turned red and he glared at Gu Xiaoyue and started to find fault with her.
"Gu Xiaoyue, as a member of the Gu family, you have no right to come here without my consent. Go back to your grandfather."
Gu Xiaoyue was about to speak when Hua Yang stopped her. Hua Yang looked at Wu Xianmin who took the initiative to sit next to her and smiled, "Uncle Wu, Brother Wu will be a member of my team from now on, do you mind?"
Wu Xianmin pulled the corner of his mouth, glanced at Gu Heqiu out of the corner of his eye and then immediately retracted his gaze, unable to stop smiling. "Why would I mind? Your Uncle Wu found you a place to live in the middle of the base. You can have fun in the Kyoto base. If you know any friends, you can live together. The house is big, and there are enough rooms!"
Hua Yang looked at Gu Heqiu again, "Ah, some people are just self-indulgent, but why, Gu Xiaoyue has to have the last name Hua to come here with me? My last name isn't Hua either, it's just you, Gu's family, who has so many things to do."
"You! You ignorant youngster, you have no right to speak!"
"Ahem! Master Gu, can this meeting start yet? This meeting has been delayed for more than ten minutes just because of you!"
"I!"
The two plant-based psychics behind Gu Heqiu pulled him and said, "The old patriarch told you not to act on impulse!"
Gu Heqiu's expression froze. After sweeping his sharp eyes over Hua Yang and the other two, he snorted and no longer looked at Hua Yang.
The content of the meeting was simple. The Black Scorpion raided the base, counted the number of deaths, treated the injured, and strengthened the defense inside and outside the base.
"Injured people?" Hua Yang thought that if they were caught in the Black Scorpion's base, they would die, but she didn't expect that there were still injured people alive. This was a big problem.
"Master Yao, how many injured people are there? Where are they being temporarily placed now?"
Yao Tianqing didn't know why Hua Yang asked this. "About seven people have been sent to the temporary hospital where Mr. Gu is being treated. By the way, why do you ask this?"
"Isolate these people immediately!" Hua Yang said and stood up immediately. Gu Xiaoyue also knew the seriousness of the matter. When she thought of her grandfather Gu Renbin still in the hospital, she immediately stood up nervously and was about to go out.
Hua Yang and the other two stood up and were about to leave without telling anyone why. Gu Heqiu immediately lost his temper. He slammed the conference table and shouted, "Gu Xiaoyue, Hua Yang! Do you still have any respect for us elders? Come and go as you please!"
"Grandpa is still in the temporary hospital. He's in danger! I'm going to save him!" Gu Xiaoyue said and turned around and rushed out the door. Hua Yang asked Wu Tianqi to chase after her, "Wait for me at the entrance of the temporary hospital."
Hua Yang looked at Yao Tianqing with a serious and earnest expression, "Master Yao, these black scorpions are zombie-like creatures. They are essentially the same as zombies. Anyone injured by them will have a chance to mutate. I hope you can immediately send people to surround the hospital and prohibit entry and exit, and isolate everyone inside."
"What? So serious? Then why don't I order someone to take those seven people out and isolate them somewhere else? There are still many injured people in the hospital. If any of them mutate into zombies, I'm afraid innocent people will be hurt!"
"What do you say? Are those black scorpions also zombies? Hua Yang, do you think we have to do it just because of what you said? Show us the evidence!"
"Evidence? I don't have any evidence. Otherwise, I'll catch a black scorpion and bite you to see if you will mistake it for a zombie."
"You!" Gu Heqiu raised his hand and was about to hit Hua Yang, but she raised her head and looked into his eyes without any fear.
The moment Gu Heqiu saw Hua Yang's eyes clearly, his heart was shocked. These were a pair of eyes that were full of danger and could see the darkness at the bottom. He couldn't imagine how a girl's eyes could contain darkness, threat and abyss at the same time.
"If you delay any longer, and someone in the hospital mutates, I don't know if you can take responsibility for it." Hua Yang turned to Yao Tianqing, "Master Yao, I hope you can move faster."
After Hua Yang finished speaking, she immediately rushed to the hospital.
When she arrived, she was still a step too late. The makeshift hospital was not big to begin with, and if there was a little noise inside, the psychics outside could still hear it clearly.
Hua Yang stood alone outside the temporary hospital and clearly sensed that Wu Tianqi, a mid-level fire-type psychic, and Gu Xiaoyue, a mid-level plant-type psychic, had entered the temporary hospital and had not moved.
Gu Renbin was inside, and Gu Xiaoyue, the impulsive guy, really couldn't hold back. Just when she was about to step in, Yao Tianqing had already arrived with a team of superpowers. Gu Heqiu, Zhu Litao, and Wu Xianmin also arrived at the same time.
Seeing Hua Yang was about to rush in, Yao Tianqing was the first to disagree, "Wait! Hua Yang, you are pregnant with my Yao family's flesh and blood, how can you take such a risk! I will send someone in, you stay here honestly!"
Hua Yang looked at the two third-level fire-type psychics who were looking at Hua Yang with extreme disdain because they were assigned by Yao Tianqing, and suddenly laughed.
"Master Yao, the child is mine. As for whether it has anything to do with your Yao family, it depends on when A Lie comes back! In addition, people with abilities below level three should not try to take risks. The scorpion's poison is a mixture of zombie virus and scorpion poison. Once infected, not to mention ordinary people, even people with abilities will find it difficult to escape the fate of the mutation.
And you should have discovered long ago that the more powerful the mutant, the more powerful the zombie he becomes after mutation. The two of them can't handle it."
After Hua Yang finished speaking, she walked towards the gate of the temporary hospital with ease, and locked the door after entering.
Yao Tianqing didn't say anything, but Wu Xianmin and Zhu Litao were moved by Hua Yang's small action of locking the door.
They were not sure whether Hua Yang was powerful or not, or how powerful she was. But they admired her fearlessness in the face of such a situation.
Although the heads of several of their families managed a group of superpowers, they themselves were only second- or third-level superpowers. They thought they couldn't go in and clean up the zombies themselves, or take risks to do something else.
Zombies don't rely on vision, but on smell and hearing.
As soon as Hua Yang entered, she wrapped herself in water mist and opened several thick water shields to defend herself. She didn't want to use the water mist to confuse the zombies' vision, but she just wanted to use the water mist to isolate the sound of her movements and the smell of her body.
The lights in the hospital were bright, and the smell of disinfectant was strong. Hua Yang could smell a very subtle odor of rotten meat coming from the left side of the gate.
The operating room where Zhu Gaoting is located is on the left, Gu Renbin’s office is on the left, and the location where Gu Xiaoyue and Wu Tianqi’s supernatural energy fluctuations are located is also on the left.
Outside the temporary hospital, suddenly several first-level psychics, covered in wounds, ran towards the location of the four family heads.
The first-level psychics were the psychics hunted by the four families. They came back covered in wounds at this time, which made everyone present have a bad premonition.
"Master, it's bad! There are a lot of zombies outside our base!" said one of the psychics. Suddenly, for some reason, a wound suddenly appeared on the side of his head, and brain matter dripped from the wound.
His face turned gray in an instant, and his legs and feet began to spin 360 degrees uncontrollably. His wounds, visible to the naked eye, turned black, and his bones and flesh made a strange, harsh, crackling sound.
A "hehe" sound came out of his mouth.
How can this be called a mutant? This is simply a zombie that has undergone a rapid transformation.
