Chapter 303 Quietly Watching Your Performance
Luo Yunjin sighed.
When I saw that guy before, I thought he was pretty normal.
Outside the glass house, the haze obscured the stars in the sky. A closer look revealed curls of green smoke, which, when blown away by the wind, revealed a blood-red sky. Occasionally, lightning flashed between the clouds, as bright as the aurora.
There was also a thin cloud around the top of Stone Mountain. Pei Chuan stood on the watchtower at the top of the mountain, looking at the sparse smoke below the mountain and the twinkling lights of fire not far away.
At this moment, the number on the intercom that had not been called for a long time suddenly lit up.
Just as he answered the phone, a bright light suddenly appeared in the southern sky, and a beam of light shot up into the sky.
"Achuan, I have repaired the spaceship. I want to go to the sky and see what is blocking the spaceship from leaving." On the other end of the intercom, Qi Chi was operating the dashboard. In the energy tank directly in front of him, three eighth-level zombie crystal cores glowed with bright starlight.
The spacecraft broke through the atmosphere in just ten seconds.
Qi Chi had a serious expression and pulled the armrest hard.
The spacecraft continued to form a spherical object in the sky, with a solid sound-colored shell on the surface, gliding in the air and leaving a silver-white light trail.
Many survivors who were observing the starry sky outside discovered the extremely fast streak of light in the sky. The white light gradually disappeared and became farther and farther away.
Qi Chi in the cabin saw the vast starry sky on the huge screen and accelerated the starting horsepower of the spacecraft.
But soon, something forcibly interfered with the spacecraft's positioning signal. The huge sound waves formed tangible golden light waves, and the spacecraft was like hitting a trampoline and was bounced off at high speed.
The crystal core in the energy tank was instantly crushed into pieces.
The spacecraft lost its power source and fell straight down.
Qi Chi placed another crystal core into the energy tank, which allowed the spacecraft to be controlled again.
He flew the spaceship towards the Stone Mountain in Haicheng.
Pei Chuan felt heavy-hearted as he watched the streak of light in the sky approach from afar.
Obviously, Qi Chi failed again. There must be something outside this planet that has been interfering with the spacecraft's departure.
Qi Chi was driving a single-person spacecraft, which was slightly smaller than an ordinary helicopter. It landed on the top of the mountain without making any sound.
He opened the cabin door and climbed out exhausted, his face pale and his body soaked with sweat.
"I saw that thing." His pupils were still trembling, and white smoke was burning around the spacecraft.
"They're zombies, a group of zombies with the ability to fly." Qi Chi's head ached at the thought of that eerie scene. "They seem to be guarding a fortress in the air. Their voices can create sound waves that interfere with the spacecraft's energy system and trajectory."
Pei Chuan helped him into the courtyard.
Duan Ya and Qian Yuanfeng came out in their pajamas, yawning.
"What are you doing..." Duan Ya saw that Qi Chi was sweating all over and blood was oozing from the palm of his right hand, so he quickly called Xiao Choujue over.
Qi Chi piloted the spaceship and landed on the top of the mountain. No one knew except Pei Chuan and Lin Xi, who was assembling the electric grid to protect the mountain.
He sat on the sofa and coughed up blood.
"So you're saying that there's an aerial city at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters? It's a bit like the central base?" Xuan Hongyan was extremely surprised.
More than a year after the apocalypse, people had indeed heard of the city in the sky, but at that time everyone thought it was a central base built in the air, supported by stone pillars and the energy of light-based psychics.
I didn’t expect that there is a real aerial city outside the blue planet, and it is guarded by flying zombies.
Everyone was shocked by this bombshell news.
Qi Chi took out a small display from the spaceship, which showed the picture he had temporarily captured in the air. Although the previous golden sound waves were too strong, causing the picture to be a little overexposed, he could still barely make out the city floating in the air behind the glass mirror.
A group of rotting zombies with black wings lingered around the aerial city.
"The sky city in this picture is about 5,000 kilometers away from my spaceship. Even at such a long distance, the screams of those zombies can shatter three eighth-level zombie crystal cores. They are all very powerful. If they come to the ground one day..." Qi Chi didn't dare to imagine the true strength of those zombies.
His spaceship was much more advanced than the ones on Blue Planet. If he had used an ordinary aircraft, it would probably have fallen apart in mid-air, leaving only a pool of ashes on the ground.
Everyone's expression changed.
Everyone was already a bit panicked by the hidden threat of the Mu family. Now, a sky city and mysterious, powerful flying zombies have appeared.
Lin Xi and Luo Yunjin were also shocked when they arrived.
Luo Yunjin remembered that there was no sky city in the original book.
Lin Xi had never heard of such a thing in his memories of his previous life. Moreover, before his death in his previous life, there was a base that vowed to develop aircraft and prepare to go to other habitable planets.
"With that thing here, it's impossible to leave Blue Star unless we continue to strengthen the spacecraft's defense and collect more high-level crystal cores." Qi Chi was a little desperate.
There are very few resources on Blue Planet, and it is difficult to modify the spacecraft.
It took him five full months just to repair a single-person spaceship stored in the ruins, not to mention more advanced spaceships.
Pei Chuan patted Qi Chi's shoulder and sighed, "Since they are zombies, the owner of the sky city should also be a zombie, or someone who controls the zombies."
Luo Yunjin agreed. "I've heard there are quite a few people who have the ability to control zombies. Some can command lower-level zombies just like they're higher-level zombies. Some even have the ability to shield themselves from zombies, so they can walk through a swarm of zombies without getting a single scratch on them."
"Don't worry, one day you'll be able to return to your hometown. We've gone through so many hardships this year, so this little setback won't be a problem at all."
Qi Chi recovered soon under Xiao Choujue's healing ability. He returned to his house to rest, but his condition was not good.
It's freezing cold at night and scorching hot during the day.
And on the second day after Qi Chi returned, many people with special abilities who were stationed nearby came to Stone Mountain.
It was as if they had set their sights on this piece of land and set up a tent not far away.
In the watchtower on the mountain, there are people on duty every day observing the movements of these people with special abilities, and they find that they are all very low-key.
But Haicheng is hotter than other cities. Under the scorching sun, even if there are people with ice abilities among them, it would be very hot to stay in the tent all day long.
The stalls at the foot of the mountain are now open at night, but people from the nearby mountains come down every day to exchange fruits or other daily necessities with the psychics on the Stone Mountain.
"Those are not psychics from the same force. You can see that the colors of their tents are different. They don't take any action and just block us outside all day long. Are they waiting to rob us when we go out, or are they just trying to monitor us?" Yuan Xiaoni was complaining to Duan Ya.
Li Heng sat under the air conditioner and enjoyed the cool breeze.
There is also a glass of bayberry juice with ice cubes on hand.
"We just need to observe their every move. There is an electric fence on the mountain, so we don't think they would dare to attack the mountain easily." Duan Ya peeled a peanut.
Li Heng said slowly, "Last night, when Qi Chi returned in his spaceship, wasn't there a spaceship track in the sky? These people were able to reach us the next day, so they definitely didn't come by car."
"That's true. I also suspect that it was Qi Chi's incident that made many forces turn their attention to us again, but the 24 star-level psychics on our mountain are not easy to bully." Duan Ya planned to observe for a while. If they made any unusual movements at night, he would bring people down and teach them a lesson they would never forget.
[Congratulations, host! Here is a task that will give you generous rewards~]
Li Heng heard the system's mean voice. In fact, he had not accepted any tasks issued by the system for five months. Unless it was a mandatory task, he would not accept any other tasks.
Through his previous experiences, he had already seen that this system was unreliable.
[As long as you complete this mission, you will get Luo Yunjin~]
Li Heng paused as he casually took the peanuts handed to him by Duan Ya.
"Tell me about it."
[You only need to secretly collude with a random team of superpowers who have just arrived at the foot of the mountain, and have them cooperate with you to gain control of Stone Mountain. Then you can have whatever you want.]
Li Heng couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly.
He didn't believe it and just watched the system continue to perform.
[Just drug the water source of the superpowered people on the mountain, and these star superpowered people will all become your accomplices. Isn't it exciting? This mission is a crucial turning point for you as the protagonist of the world!]
"I won't answer."
[Why? Once you take over Stone Mountain, you'll be able to embrace beautiful women, rich women, and reach the pinnacle of life, with everyone bowing down to you.]
"You're a liar system. You've lost all my trust in you. What if I don't complete the mission? Xiao Jin will hate me and she will kick me out. Life in the mountains is good now, and I'm very content."
The system didn't expect Li Heng to be so spineless and was speechless.
[I really won’t lie to you this time, I will definitely succeed. ]
"It's no use for you to keep talking. I'll just pretend I didn't hear anything."
The system didn't expect that Li Heng would not be persuaded. This task was issued by it privately and was not a mandatory task of the system.
That person promised it that if Li Heng completed this task, he would be able to upgrade himself to a more advanced system, and then he would not have to follow Li Heng, a protagonist in the failed world.
But the host is very willing to reject it, so it seems that we can't be too hasty about this matter.
At this time, one of the gray tents at the foot of the mountain was filled with ice blocks, and several men in short-sleeved shirts and shorts were sitting around a long piece of ice to discuss countermeasures.
"Did the spaceship last night really land near here? The supernatural beings on this mountain are not easy to deal with. Both the Beiming Base and the Haicheng Underground Base suffered heavy losses here before. We must be cautious."
"It's right here, I'm sure of it. Within a radius of dozens of miles, this is the only place where people with special abilities live together in groups."
"We shouldn't act rashly. It's best to wait for them to come out alone, then attack one person in a group and capture him. I heard that the psychics on this mountain are at least level eight, so they're not easy to deal with. We should be careful."
As the few people were talking, the ice that had just condensed nearby melted in an instant, and the ice they were sitting on also quickly melted into water. One of the men accidentally sat on the sharp stone exposed by the melted ice and screamed like a chicken.
Even so, each of them was very proud because among the accompanying psychics there was an ice-type psychic, who was very popular in these tents.
Many people want to come and buy ice and water.
The moisture is absorbed by the soil and the inside of the tent becomes a little damp.
Tents are the perfect place for them to stay.
But it was just after two in the afternoon when the temperature was at its highest.
All the tents around were blown away by an inexplicable wind, and many people's luggage was blown away.
Even a fool knows that such a wind did not come out of thin air, but was caused by someone deliberately making trouble.
However, the superpowers in these bases are inherently suspicious of each other, and no one dares to speak out.
They could only accept their fate and build houses nearby.
By evening, the simple house was built.
The night market at the foot of the mountain has also opened for business.
These newly built houses stand out from the surrounding area.
Except for Stone Mountain, the psychics on the other mountains are all bad-tempered, and the supplies they receive every day are limited, so they dare not bully the people on Stone Mountain or them.
Now that a new person has arrived, the anger that has been accumulating for a long time now has a place to vent.
Li Wu and Zhang Liu robbed several small houses without saying a word and took all the supplies inside for themselves.
Seeing their domineering behavior, these psychics finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Why are you glaring at me? Come on if you have the guts!" Li Wu snorted arrogantly.
Zhang Liu was unwilling to fall behind, "A bunch of them fell to the ground!"
Shen Junxie has recently integrated all the psychics on several mountains. He has the highest level of psychic ability among them, and with the ninth level psychic ability, he can be the boss in Haicheng.
So, the house where these people with special abilities had worked hard for an entire afternoon and were about to sleep at night was robbed, and the small vendors around them looked at them with great interest, as if they wanted to do the same thing.
They didn't want to alert the enemy, so they could only swallow their grievances.
In the evening, Tan Shengting also brought the psychics on the cargo ship to the night market to buy things, and all the people he brought were high-level psychics.
They parade around in night markets, and their canned goods on cargo ships are widely acclaimed.
The various snacks sold at the stalls are also very popular among people like Tan Shengting.
The only poor ones were those psychics who came to gather information. Their strength was neither high nor low, but they didn't expect that there were so many high-level psychics even at the foot of the mountain, and they were all troublemakers who were not easy to mess with.
That night, many people with special abilities sent distress signals to the base, crying and shouting that they wanted to go back, not wanting to stay in this place for even a minute longer.
Shen Junxie built stone bridges between the several mountains he bought off, so that all the superpowers could share resources.
Lan Xinya, who was trapped in a wicker cage on the top of the mountain, screamed until her voice was hoarse, but no one came to rescue her.
When she was about to do something shameful that day, Shen Junxie broke into the cave and had her locked up, only providing her with enough food and water to survive every day.
After suffering a lot of torture, Lan Xinya also discovered that Shen Junxie was a man who hated evil and was meticulous.
As the system had given up on her and no longer issued her tasks, Lan Xinya knew that her only way to survive was to eat Shen Junxie to death. She touched her stomach and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
When Li Wu and Zhang Liu returned to the top of the mountain, they saw the dirty woman dancing and posing in the cage.
Lan Xinya already had a basic foundation in dancing, and she danced gracefully in the cage, attracting many psychics on the mountain to tease and watch.
