Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Are they going to act alone?
Hearing this, Xu Ziyue subconsciously looked at Ji Kun, the man with the skill [Lock].
The latter followed the direction Ye Mian was looking at and confirmed it again and again, then shook his head slightly: "Too far."
His skills have distance limitations. If the thing Ye Mian mentioned is in a locked warehouse, then there is another layer of separation, making it even more difficult to lock.
Xu Ziyue was a little hesitant. There should still be a lot of intact supplies in those warehouses. They were supposed to wait until the battle was over before counting and distributing them according to their contributions.
But Ye Mian looked serious, and what he said was extremely certain, not a guess or a sixth sense.
It makes people want to believe her involuntarily.
However, before Xu Ziyue made the decision to go and check, Ye Mian spoke first: "It's very dangerous, it's best to inform others in advance not to get close easily."
"Uh..." Xu Ziyue felt ashamed for a moment. She had actually doubted Ye Mian's intentions just now.
"Then I'll make a mark to remind them."
Xu Zijia started moving as he spoke. He drew an X on the wall next to the doors of the large warehouses with a black marker and then quickly returned.
Although his movements were quick, they still seemed to alarm the thing inside. Even though Ye Mian did not actively use any skills, his back and palms felt cold, and an uncontrollable fear was swirling in his heart.
This feeling means that there are definitely not just a group of low-level mutants, or the intermediate-level mutants that have been encountered before.
So when the group continued to move forward, Ye Mian pulled Lu Ning a little slower and whispered, "Don't rush too far forward later."
The main purpose of their visit was to look for suitable agricultural machinery and to see if they could recruit some people to return to the farm.
You can help, but if it's too dangerous, there's no need to charge into battle with you.
Lu Ningke is the only fighting force on the farm.
"Know."
The two people here were whispering, and the brother and sister in front were also whispering in each other's ears.
"Sister, why do I feel like Ye Mian has more than two skills?"
"…Do you remember the first time we met her?"
Xu Zijia nodded. At that time, the two of them were hiding in the woods. The arrows were shot out and would have definitely hit the three-headed dog, but at the critical moment, Ye Mian shouted and dodged them.
At that time, I just felt surprised and guilty, and didn't think much about it.
Now that I think about it, I realize it’s not just a simple coincidence.
Xu Ziyue lowered her eyes. Rather than wondering how many skills Ye Mian actually had, she was more concerned about the fact that from the moment he entered the room, Ye Mian did not seem to show any fear at all, and he was very calm even when he said it was very dangerous just now.
She seemed very sure that the mutants could not harm her.
This was verified when they arrived at their planned destination.
This living area is located in the center of the entire industrial park. Almost all workers come here to eat and have fun. The number of mutants is also much greater than on the way here.
At the same time, there are also many that have eaten the same upgraded version.
So even though they were careful to avoid the main roads the whole time, they were still discovered by a mutant with extremely sensitive hearing, which then howled and attracted the attention of several of its kind, and they all ran towards the group of people.
Xu Ziyue was just about to confirm with Ji Kun which house nearby had few mutants and could allow them to hide temporarily when she heard Ye Mian take the lead and say, "Go to the house on the right, we'll cover the rear."
In a hurry, the four of them had no time to think about whether she was right or not, and rushed directly into the three-story shop on the right.
Then when Xu Ziyue found a suitable position and prepared to draw the bow, he discovered that in just a short while, the mutants rushing in front had been cleared out by Lu Ning, and Ye Mian also dealt with a few mutants that wanted to rush into the shop.
The two men who were clearly unarmed just now now had weapons in their hands, one was a long sword and the other was a hatchet.
“…”
Perhaps the scene was a little too brutal, the slower mutants at the back did not rush forward blindly, but stayed where they were, waiting for more companions to come.
Seeing this, Ye Mian and Lu Ning gave up the fight and retreated to the shop to reunite with the four others.
Because this shop looks like a very simple coffee shop, the outer walls are built into floor-to-ceiling windows, and the glass is broken all over the floor.
This is probably the reason why there are no mutants staying here.
Ye Mian looked at the mutants outside who wanted to chase but didn't dare to. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's go upstairs and wait for support. There are at least four intermediate mutants over there. We can't handle them alone."
"What?"
Xu Ziyue cried out in surprise, with disbelief written all over her face: "How could it be..."
The other three people were just like her, with more subconscious doubts than shock.
Ye Mian had already guessed it, and when he reached the second floor, he asked, "Has anyone among you come in to investigate in advance?"
"Yes," Xu Ziyue still couldn't believe it. "Although he did say that there might be high-level mutants here, four are too..."
That's outrageous.
Could it have been upgraded overnight?
Lu Ning, who was quietly moving things to block the stairs, heard this and interrupted, "Some intermediate mutants prefer to hide in the dark and launch sneak attacks rather than swaggering outside."
On the contrary, some low-level mutants are ignorant and fearless, and rush upwards at the slightest movement.
For example, those who took the lead just now.
"Yes." Ye Mian walked to a relatively intact window and motioned Xu Ziyue to look towards the main road. "Look at those low-level mutants wandering around. Do you feel anything is wrong?"
"Huh?" Xu Ziyue looked over and saw that the main road was connected to a small square. Because most of the mutants had gathered here, there were only a dozen mutants left wandering over there.
At first glance, you can't see anything, but if you look at it for a long time, you will find that they are not wandering around aimlessly, but have fixed areas and do not interfere with each other. They seem to be trapped in a ghost wall, or like patrolling soldiers.
"There are also those on the upper left, upper right, and those who are surrounding this side but are not in a hurry to get closer."
Ye Mian pointed at three locations with a serious expression: "They look like they are moving around randomly, but in fact they follow a specific pattern, so there must be a higher level issuing orders."
"Before, they should have been in a three-way confrontation, with each other alone. But now that they have encountered a common enemy, they may join forces."
Four of them join forces! ?
Xu Ziyue frowned. If what Ye Mian said was true, they would urgently need a large force to come and support them.
"Wait a moment, let's sort it out first."
Ever since Ye Mian said that the warehouse was very dangerous, she has been in charge. Although she and Lu Ning did not do anything abnormal and have been helping and protecting them, their origins are unknown and the number of their skills is a mystery, which makes them unlike ordinary evolvers.
Xu Ziyue couldn't judge how true her words were, nor did she dare to disrupt the rhythm of today's attack. She didn't know what decision to make for a moment, so she had to pull the three people on her side to the corner to hold a meeting and discuss.
"Sister, why don't we just retreat? Anyway, the mission objective has been achieved. Let's wait for Brother Yuan and the others to deal with the mutants ahead before coming back here."
Xu Ziyue glanced at him and said, "Just look outside."
"?" Xu Zijia had been busy checking each room and closing doors and windows, and only now did he remember to look out the window.
And this sight made him stunned.
Just now, there seemed to be only dozens of mutants rushing over, but now they have gathered in a large group, at least one or two hundred.
Even if you run from the rooftop, you will soon be discovered and caught up.
"There's no need for that. There are only a few of us. There's not enough meat to go around..."
Yao Tianhao, the tall and thin boy with the skill [Control], said, "Brother Dong said that the mutants in this area basically only wander around indoors, but now there is no movement outside and they are gathering here little by little. Maybe it's just like what Ye Mian said, there are intermediate mutants giving orders from behind."
After hearing this, and looking at Ji Kun, whose face turned slightly pale due to excessive use of skills due to locking onto too many mutants, Xu Ziyue bit her lip and made a decision.
"Let's report to Brother Yuan and ask for support."
Ye Mian, who was still standing by the window not far from the stairs, saw them finally take out the strange whistle and start blowing it. The sound was sharp but not harsh, and there was an unusual sense of rhythm.
"It should be Morse code," Lu Ning also looked over there, "but it doesn't look like an ordinary whistle, it can probably be heard quite far away."
"Yeah." Ye Mian had seen this once two days ago, which was why he was relatively calm and did not just pull Lu Ning away.
While the four people over there can sit and wait for support, the two of them can't just sit and wait.
Rhenium stone is easy to exchange, but rhenium crystal is relatively rare at present, so the more you can collect, the better.
What's more, fighting alone against intermediate mutants can allow Lu Ning to accumulate experience and become stronger.
"After we go down, we'll go directly to the building on the upper right."
Are they going to act alone?
Lu Ning's eyes lit up: "Okay."
Her skills have been upgraded and she has very powerful weapons. She is no longer in the period when she had to retreat when faced with large groups of mutants.
So when Xu Ziyue came over again after reporting the news, Ye Mian said directly: "It's not a good idea to just sit there and wait for death. It will take time for people to come. The two of us plan to go down and disrupt their formation and temporarily lead them away from here."
Xu Ziyue was stunned. Just when she was about to shake her head to reject the proposal, she was choked back by Ye Mian's next words.
"I say temporarily because they may know that there are several more targets in this building. If they can't catch up with us, they will turn back."
Can’t catch up with them... Yes, Ye Mian also has a skill similar to teleportation, but he has never used it in front of them.
"Okay, then you must be careful and don't get too close to the intermediate mutants."
Ye Mian opened the rusty window: "Don't worry, we know what's going on."
As soon as she finished speaking, she appeared downstairs outside, and then Lu Ning jumped out of the window without saying a word.
