Chapter 279 Mysterious Disappearance
The little leopard cat is called Xiaobao. He changed his clothes and sat obediently on the sofa, his cheeks a little red because of shyness.
He stared at his toes.
"So, the fruit of life flew to you automatically? Then you can turn into a human and directly advance to the eighth-level advanced gold-type supernatural power?" Luo Yunjin looked at Maomao with a slightly condensed expression.
Originally there were the little leopard cat and the green butterfly at the bottom.
So, her current strength at the seventh level is actually the weakest?
incredible.
Because there were enough crystal cores, everyone advanced a little bit. Among them, there were several talented players, the little tabby and the little leopard cat, who obtained the fruit of life and had no bottleneck in their advancement.
Qi Chi and his second brother also advanced to the eighth level without any hindrance.
Luo Yunjin originally thought that she had advanced a whole level, which was considered relatively fast among her family. However, she did not expect that the clown was actually herself!
"Oh, the higher the supernatural power, the harder it is to advance. I have only advanced from the seventh level to the eighth level. Maybe I can reach the ninth level in the next two days." Qian Yuanfeng said indifferently.
"I'm also at the intermediate eighth level, which is considered slow." Duan Ya was very dissatisfied with his own speed.
Pei Chuan frowned and listened.
Luo Yunjin's eyes lit up. She had forgotten that Pei Chuan had failed in his previous advancement, so his advancement should not be smooth either, right?
Being stared at by the girl, Pei Chuan coughed and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I have enough crystal cores this time. I have accumulated them for a long time, so I have already advanced to the elementary level of the ninth rank."
Luo Yunjin broke the straw in his hand.
It’s numb. These people are more stubborn than each other, and she is the weakest one.
Lin Xi also locked himself in the room to advance and did not come out.
In other words, Pei Chuan is the most powerful person in the family now.
However, seeing that everyone's internship income had increased, Luo Yunjin was still happy for them.
This way, everyone's safety will be protected and there will be a time buffer when encountering danger.
In order to reward everyone, Luo Yunjin went to the kitchen and cooked a large table of dishes. He used ingredients from the vegetable garden and pork from mutant pigs caught in the electric fence outside.
The aroma of food filled the air, and smoke from the range hood rose from the top of the mountain.
Just as everyone was preparing to eat, a flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky.
A flash of silver lightning flashed by.
The loud thunder startled everyone.
The electrical appliances in the house seemed to have lost control and were flickering.
The power supply to hotels and restaurants halfway up the mountain was also cut off by lightning.
Purple lightning flashed in the sky for five minutes before all power was restored.
Immediately afterwards, everyone felt a powerful supernatural pressure coming from a room on the second floor of the glass house.
Everyone felt a palpitation, and those with lower abilities were more affected.
Many guests staying in the hotel halfway up the mountain felt the powerful aura of this psychic.
"Could it be that someone has advanced to the star level? I heard that the pressure of a star-level esper can make people feel palpitations. Judging from the posture, he should be a lightning esper."
"How terrifying! Is this the power of a star-level mutant?"
"Are there actually star-level psychics on this stone mountain? I've always heard that star-level psychics only stay in those large bases. I didn't expect to be able to experience their power so closely."
The guests were all discussing it.
In one of the double rooms, Chen Juanjuan looked at the dark sky through the window, her eyes always towards the top of the mountain.
Zhang Heng hugged her from behind, "What's wrong? Are you scared? These powerful people have strange temperaments. But since this mountain is protected by high-level psychics, it's safe here."
"Brother Heng, I heard that there is a magical reagent in the Xilin Base that can activate people's superpowers. Do you think this is true? I remember that there is a person with superpowers in our team who escaped from the Xilin Base. Maybe he knows something. I don't want to hold you back. I wish I had superpowers too." Chen Juanjuan said slowly.
After hearing this, Zhang Heng thought for a moment, "Is that thing really there?"
"It's absolutely true. I heard it while fleeing the famine. Let's ask that Wang Sui and we'll find out."
The two people have different thoughts.
On the top of the mountain, when Lin Xi pushed open the door, he had already restrained his aura.
"You succeeded?" Luo Yunjin guessed that he could directly skip the ninth level to the star level.
"Yeah." Lin Xi walked to the girl and sat down next to her naturally.
The big round table suddenly seemed a little crowded.
After the ninth level is the star level. Star-level psychics also have different strengths. According to the attributes of their abilities, they are divided into three stages: low, middle and high.
If star-level psychics want to improve their abilities, they can no longer rely solely on their abilities.
Zombies of level seven and above look just like ordinary humans, except they don't breathe and look like the living dead.
So far, no zombies of level nine or above have appeared.
Many people suspect that high-level zombies hide themselves very well because they are no different from humans and can successfully hide their true identities and blend in with the crowd.
Xiao Choujue looked at Lin Xi with admiration. As the golden thigh of the Rose Team, he originally had the strongest attack-type ability. The identity of a star-level ability user seemed to add another layer of mystery to the other party.
The Stone Mountain will be safer with star-level psychics guarding it, and those psychics who want to seize territory also need to think carefully and weigh their abilities.
"Eat, eat. I specially made braised pork today!" Luo Yunjin brought everyone's attention back to the dishes she cooked.
She specially picked up a large piece of braised pork with fat and lean meat for Lin Xi.
Lin Xi picked it up without changing his expression and ate it in one bite without any expression.
The braised pork is fried with plums and sugar. The outermost layer of skin is fried until it is crispy and the sweet and sour taste of the plums makes the meat not too greasy.
The braised pork broth is also delicious when mixed with rice.
The stir-fried vegetables are all freshly picked, and the sour, unripe tomatoes are sliced and stir-fried with green peppers. The sour and spicy taste goes well with rice, and paired with a plate of sugar-fried peanuts, it can be used as a side dish for drinking.
The meatball soup is made with bok choy, so the soup is not greasy and is delicious whether you drink it dry or soak it in rice.
When a group of people eat together, hot pot is a must.
This time, Luo Yunjin did not make those heavy-flavored hot pots, but clear soup hot pot, using the three-flavor hot pot base. The small cart next to it was filled with cleaned vegetables and meat slices, as well as many snacks.
You can eat them in hot pot.
Soak the rice crust in clear soup hot pot or meatball and cabbage soup for ten seconds. The rice crust soaked in the soup will not be as hard as before. The dry rice grains soaked in the hot soup will make a sizzling sound, and the rice fragrance will also be emitted. It is so delicious that you can bite your tongue.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
It turns out that I usually eat too simply. There are so many vegetables and fruits at home that I can easily cook different kinds of food every day.
But there are no good cooks.
Except for Luo Yunjin, everyone else's cooking skills are average.
"I left some food for the people on duty at the hotel and restaurant today. Whoever has time can deliver it later." Luo Yunjin pointed to the lunch box on the coffee table next to him.
"I'll go." Xiao Choujue just wanted to go down the mountain to see the guests. She found a few potential guests staying in the hotel. After washing up, they turned out to be quite good-looking.
Xiao Choujue touched her round belly and said, "I'll go now. It's a good time to digest the food."
She is now a seventh-level advanced healing ability user. Although it is an auxiliary ability, she is very famous among the ability users in the hills.
Because she is a rare high-level healing ability user, everyone is willing to make friends with her.
I have also helped treat some people with special abilities who were injured while going out.
Xiao Choujue went down the mountain carrying his lunch box. Just as he was about to put the two individually packed lunch boxes on the counter, he found that both of them were gone.
Today it’s Zhong Lingmei and the earth-type mutant Zhang Xiaochui.
There were no customers in the restaurant, and there was an open cat comic book on the counter, but Zhong Lingmei was nowhere to be found.
In the reception room on the first floor of the hotel lobby, Zhang Xiaochui was not there. There was no record of him in the check-in booklet on the table. He had not even checked the hygiene today. There was still some undistributed fruit in the fruit basket next to him.
Xiao Choujue looked confused and walked into the room to check the surveillance.
You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it.
Just as Zhong Lingmei sat down behind the restaurant counter that morning, a dark figure appeared outside the door, completely in black.
No sound could be heard in the surveillance video, only Zhong Lingmei's face showing fear. Then a black figure walked directly through the counter and dragged Zhong Lingmei out.
Just three meters away from the restaurant, the black shadow and Zhong Lingmei disappeared out of thin air.
Half an hour later, the same black shadow appeared on the first floor of the hotel and dragged Zhang Xiaochui away in the same way.
Xiao Choujue felt a little scared and she pressed the goose bumps on her arms.
She looked around and found nothing unusual, so she quickly took out the walkie-talkie and told Luo Yunjin the news.
The news of Zhong Lingmei and Zhang Xiaochui's disappearance quickly spread among the hotel guests.
They all went to the first floor one by one to watch the surveillance video, and everyone's face looked very unhappy.
Although Zhong Lingmei has auxiliary abilities and no offensive capabilities, Zhang Xiaochui is a seventh-level advanced ability user, and he was unable to fight back against the black shadow.
This means that the black shadow’s strength is likely above theirs.
Now we don’t know whether this thing is a zombie with special powers or a person with special powers.
It only took people away and left everything in the hotel and restaurant untouched.
In order to reassure everyone, Lin Xi directly installed an electric fence outside the entire stone mountain, so those with lower abilities than him could not enter or leave at will.
The guests were in a panic, worried that a powerful person with superpowers had appeared.
At the same time, I felt very uncertain whether this place could provide them with shelter anymore.
A few people with special abilities decided to leave Stone Mountain out of worry. They looked strange, checked out and left in a hurry.
"Follow them." Luo Yunjin whispered to Pei Chuan.
Her intuition told her that the black shadow's ability would not be very high and it was very timid.
After Pei Chuan came down the mountain, he turned into a black cat with a microscope camera hanging around his neck.
Luo Yunjin turned on the surveillance equipment, and the picture switched to the cat's perspective in the camera, where the little black paws could be seen walking.
The cat nimbly jumped over the stones.
The three people who left earlier were all from Shen Junxie's team. They were seen climbing the mountain in a hurry.
Shen Junxie was the only one living on the hill. The original road had been washed away by the rain, and several people had to climb up the hill with great difficulty.
The little black cat followed them into the cave.
I saw a large black cloak hanging on the clothes hanger nearby. Obviously, the black shadow in the previous video was this full-body cloak.
Zhong Lingmei and Zhang Xiaochui were locked in a cage nearby. A young girl squatted in front of the cage, staring at them covetously.
Shen Junxie looked helpless. "I asked you to investigate the superpowered person on that stone mountain. Why did you bring him back?"
"Eat!" Yuan Xinyue's eyes were shining.
She pointed at the crystal core in the pocket of the unconscious Zhong Lingmei.
It was a vision-enhancing crystal core. Because this type of crystal core was very rare, Zhong Lingmei had never been willing to use it and had saved a few for herself.
Yuan Xinyue has the ability of invisibility, so she cannot absorb other crystal cores and cannot encounter invisible zombies, but she can absorb the energy from vision-enhancing crystal cores.
Shen Junxie felt a headache, "No, we have to send him back as soon as possible. You can't be so willful!"
He knew Zhong Lingmei and knew she was a core member of the Rose Team. What would happen if the high-level psychics of the Rose Team found out?
But unfortunately, Luo Yunjin and the others had already discovered it through the camera on the little black cat's neck.
They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the two people trapped in the cage were just unconscious.
Yuan Xinyue curled her lips. "That mountain you mentioned makes me feel very depressed. There must be many high-level psychics on it. I suggest you stop investigating. Let's search the crystal cores on these two people and then leave. There's no need to stay here anyway."
Shen Junxie strongly disapproved of this behavior, as she had not yet given up those crystal cores.
Behind the monitor, Qi Chi was packing up his weapons. "Don't stop me. I want to blow up that mountain with one shot."
No one stopped him.
This was a bit embarrassing, but he still packed up the cannon.
Zhong Lingmei moved her fingers and was about to open her eyes when someone hit her on the back of the head with a hammer, knocking her unconscious again.
Shen Junxie hit Zhang Xiaochui on the back of the head with a stick again to prevent the two of them from waking up so early.
People watching the video: ╰_╯
The little black cat immediately changed back into human form and walked into the cave.
Shen Junxie was startled by Pei Chuan's sudden appearance and subconsciously wanted to use his fire ability, but he was horrified to find that his ability was ineffective.
"So it's you." Pei Chuan said coldly, and then glanced coldly at Yuan Xinyue who was standing beside him.
The girl was very calm, as if it was a matter of course. Her invisibility ability was no longer usable, but she was not panicked at all. Instead, she sat on a chair nearby.
"Zombie?" Pei Chuan directly exposed her identity.
Yuan Xinyue's expression broke for a moment, her eyes widened, and her distraught expression directly proved this.
The moment he saw this girl, Pei Chuan remembered an eighth-level zombie he had encountered before.
Lin Xi frowned after watching the surveillance video. He also remembered the time when he and Pei Chuan went out hunting and encountered a humanoid zombie. The zombie was very strange and took the initiative to expose his identity as a zombie, as if he was hiding something.
It was very easy to obtain the crystal core of this last eighth-level zombie, and it didn't require any technical skills.
Now when I get close to this girl, I can feel that sense of incongruity.
Cats have a naturally keen sense of smell.
"What are you talking about? I'm not a zombie, I'm an invisibility-type psychic!" Yuan Xinyue hid behind Shen Junxie.
