Chapter 182 Kill them
Beneath the dry treetops above the central base, a spatial vortex enveloped in white energy appeared. Zheng Lin sensed the fluctuations of supernatural power and raised his eyes, his gaze sharp.
Zheng Lin turned around, his plant-based superpowers surging. Immediately afterward, a surge of seawater rushed out from the spatial vortex beneath the treetops. Zheng Lin instantly activated his superpowers, creating a protective shield formed by intertwined vines below the base.
Because of the large drop in height, the gravity of the falling seawater was immense, splashing onto the vines and causing water droplets to fly everywhere. Along with the seawater, the disheveled Lu Yize, his companion, and the corpse also fell into the whirlpool.
The spatial vortex closed, and Zheng Lin, Chen Mingzhang, and the others noticed Lu Yize, but they still dared not lower their guard. Only after confirming that there were no other threats did they step forward to ask, "What happened? Why is it like this?"
Lu Yize was soaked in seawater. Jiang Yue got up before him and reached out to pull Lu Yize up.
The fifth squad leader coughed violently from the choking water. Mu Fei stepped forward and pulled him out of the water. Before he could even feel grateful, Mu Fei anxiously asked, "Did you go to that laboratory? What did you see?"
The fleeting camaraderie is nowhere near as appealing as the data obtained from the detection.
"Let me catch my breath."
The fifth squad leader rolled over and lay on the wet ground, half of his body submerged in water, panting heavily.
They had just narrowly escaped the laboratory space and moved into the sea, then dodged the pursuit of sea monsters and reconnected to the base.
Because Lu Yize used all his superpowers on spatial transmission and did not isolate the seawater, so much seawater poured in, and even now, there is still a feeling of being at the bottom of the sea.
Sheng Xue stepped forward to treat the three's injuries. After their injuries had almost healed, Lu Yize then let Zhang Wenjing, who had been waiting anxiously, come forward.
Using their mental sync, they share what they see and hear with others through their mental abilities.
Lu Yize reviewed the memories in his mind and spoke aloud based on the images, "This floor is most likely full of fourth-order creatures. Each floor in this laboratory has a strict hierarchy."
Through Zhang Wenjing's sharing of her mental framework, the others present also saw the situation inside the laboratory. The clearer they became about the other party's strength, the more alarmed they felt.
Chen Mingzhang had a somber expression as he channeled his supernatural power through his fingertips, but with each moment his power circulated, his face grew increasingly grim.
He had no choice but to find a way out; there were thousands of doors before him, but each one led to a different and inevitable death.
He showed no sign of anything amiss, but images kept flashing through Lu Yize's mind: "Besides, this laboratory must have appeared before the apocalypse."
Upon seeing the advanced mutated plant appearing on the screen, Mu Fei suddenly recalled a piece of information: "Two years before the apocalypse, a thousand-year-old tree disappeared in a nature reserve in S City. It's highly likely that this is the one."
“Two years ago…” Chen Mingzhang stared at the mutated plant in the picture and repeated.
Zhang Wenjing shut down the mental link just before the high-level mutated plant was killed. These people in front of her probably haven't thought about the high-level crystal core yet, and even if they do think about it later, it will be useless, as Lu Yize will most likely have already absorbed it.
Zhang Wenjing is narrow-minded and doesn't trust people outside the base. As far as she is concerned, everyone in the central base needs to be guarded against.
The fifth squad leader wiped the water off his head. "We were really lucky to be back this time. The original plan is scrapped. We can't just throw our lives away rashly."
No one else objected, but the atmosphere became heavy for a moment.
Lu Yize turned his head and noticed that Jiang Yue's long, wet hair was still dripping wet. He went up to her, took her hand, and led her into the house.
"Brother Lu, you're leaving already? Wait for us, we're leaving too."
Taking this opportunity, Fan Jian turned to Chen Mingzhang and apologized, "Captain Chen, you two discuss it. We can't be of much help, so we'll head back now."
Chen Mingzhang didn't stop him. He needed to get the situation back to the base as soon as possible. No, he not only needed to get it back to the base, but he also needed to contact people at other bases as soon as possible.
Jiang Yue seemed to still be in a daze after leaving that laboratory; her already lifeless eyes looked even more foolish now.
Lu Yize glanced at her, noticing his odd behavior. After entering the house, he locked the door, blocking Fan Jian and Xiao Bai, who were still oblivious to their own danger and wanted to follow him in.
Fan Jian bumped his head on the door, covered his nose and chuckled awkwardly, "Let's go, we've gone too far."
Lu Yize ignored the people and dogs outside the house and glanced at Jiang Yue's injuries. There were many marks on her legs and hands from being bound by vines. Injuries were inevitable in a fight.
These injuries are a bit of an eyesore.
Jiang Yue ignored her broken and repaired leg, as well as the injury on her arm, and instead frowned at the almost healed wound on Lu Yize's face.
She stared intently, her expression grave; anyone who didn't know better would probably think she had some deep-seated grudge against that wound.
He dared not touch the zombie's hand, fearing that more blood would spill out.
Jiang Yue frowned, her fingertips tracing a line in the air, and finally, with a hint of cold anger, said, "Kill them."
