Chapter 158 My Wife is Angry
He used his spatial abilities to rescue the people trapped deep inside, and the others followed suit, using their abilities to help.
With their addition, the rescue speed increased rapidly. Zhang Wenjing used her mental abilities to investigate and confirmed that there were no more people buried below. Chen Mingzhang and the others then checked the number of people.
"Seventeen people died, thirty-one people went missing, sixty-four people were seriously injured, and more than two hundred people were slightly injured."
Zhu Lei reported the data, while Zheng Mu used his special ability to calm the emotions of the others in the base and prevent a riot from breaking out.
"Zheng Lin, lead the team to search within a five-kilometer radius. Bring them back, dead or alive," Chen Mingzhang ordered Zheng Lin. The missing person was very likely swept away by the flood.
However, because the time was short and the receding was rapid, it is still possible to find the people who were swept away.
Upon receiving the order, Zheng Lin immediately led his team to set off.
"Zhu Lei, take some men and rebuild a few more houses, prioritize the injured to stay there, then sort out the usable supplies in the ruins, compile and report the necessary items, and I will contact headquarters."
"Do you have any way to contact the other base leaders in Lincheng?" Lu Yize asked after leveling another piece of rubble.
"Within Lincheng? Yes, what's wrong?" Chen Mingzhang pulled up the contact information within his ability ring. "I've added the contact information of all the basic base leaders within Lincheng."
Seeing this, Lu Yize took out the piece of paper Xie Hongyang had handed him and said, "Help me find three people. You should have seen Xie Hongyang's memories. His family also lives in Lincheng. If they are still alive, there should be some news about them."
Chen Mingzhang took the note, glanced at the message, and then nodded, "Okay, I'll get back to you if there's any news."
They no longer discussed Xie Hongyang's past experiences; the matter was settled, and further discussion was pointless.
However, Zheng Lin soon returned with his team, his face grim. "Team Leader Chen, we didn't see a single human or even a zombie within five kilometers. The nearest small base to us was just covered in blood."
"We dug one of the people out of the rubble, and he looked kind of familiar." Zheng Lin put the person on the ground.
He only remembered that the person looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen him before. There was a gatekeeper with him who was responsible for recording details, and he did have some impression of the person in front of him.
"This person and a few others once tried to join our base, but after being rejected by the captain, they apparently went to other bases."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mingzhang remembered, and Lu Yize also recalled this person—the fire-type ability user who had previously followed Dong Hong but later parted ways.
Lu Yize called Zhang Wenjing over and asked her to probe the other party's memory to rule out any potential threats.
Zhang Wenjing probed his memories, simultaneously transmitting them into the minds of the others.
This person followed people like Dong Hong and did some wrong things, but fortunately none of them involved matters of principle. After he joined the later base, he continued to live like a normal person.
However, not long ago, a group of people who were completely covered up and whose faces were not shown suddenly poured into the base. There were only first-level ability users in the base, and they were powerless to fight back against these people. They were mercilessly killed, regardless of age.
Blood stained the ground, but they didn't even spare the corpses, picking and choosing them, stuffing them into bags and taking them away.
The reason this fire-type ability user was able to escape was due to a sudden natural disaster. The mysterious people, who were heavily disguised, said something obscure and difficult to understand before quickly leading the others to retreat.
He was mistakenly presumed dead, so he barely survived and was taken back by Zheng Lin and others.
After viewing his memories, the group's expressions turned grim, and Zhang Wenjing trembled violently, crying out, "It was them! It was these people! These people killed my sister!"
She and Xiaobai were also among their test subjects. Even Lu Yize looked uncomfortable, as the clothes of these people overlapped with the figures of those who had conducted experiments on him in his previous life.
The same clothes, the same way of treating people like fish to be cut up—Lu Yize lost control of his mental power, instantly destroying the images in his mind.
Zhang Wenjing shuddered. The forced shutdown of her superpower caused her to fall backward, but Xian Wenrui, who was beside her, caught her.
"Are you alright?" Xian Wenrui observed her reaction. Zhang Wenjing took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. "I'm fine."
Sheng Xue performed emergency treatment on the fire-type ability user on the ground. A large amount of healing ability poured in, barely managing to keep him alive. However, due to his prolonged lack of ability, he was still in a deep coma.
"Take the people down first and leave them at the base for now," Chen Mingzhang said to Zheng Lin.
After reviewing the other person's memories and confirming that he was temporarily harmless, Zheng Lin relaxed his guard and took him to the intensive care unit to arrange a bed for him.
Seeing the unpleasant expressions on Lu Yize and his group's faces, and combining this with the images he had just seen in the mind of the fire-type ability user, as well as his previous discoveries, Chen Mingzhang said with a grave expression, "These people should be related to the ability experiments that have occurred in various places."
Lu Yize raised his eyes and his gaze fell on Chen Mingzhang.
"As I told you before, I have dug out the power cores of some people. The owners of these power cores not only killed people to steal their power cores, but also conducted some inhumane experiments."
"We destroyed a total of seven such experimental sites. The largest of them was a laboratory in the center of the North City, which covered a total area of 1,000 square meters. It contained tens of thousands of petri dishes and countless people were locked in the basement."
Hearing what he said, Fan Jian angrily exclaimed, "Are they crazy? Aren't they afraid of retribution for doing these things!"
"Retribution? Ha, if there really was such a thing as retribution in this world, there wouldn't be so many tragedies." Chen Mingzhang had once witnessed a horrific scene in a basement, where the bodies took three days to clean up.
"I don't know who's behind this lab. I killed the people who were doing the experiments, but they were all peripheral figures who couldn't access the core. The others had already left with the experimental data long before we found them."
"Before they left, they also destroyed all those they had designated as test subjects, leaving no survivors."
Those people's insane behavior is outrageous.
"Our base has assigned an entire district to handle this matter. I will inform you as soon as there are results."
"it is good."
Lu Yize led Zhang Wenjing and the others out of the central base. Before Zhang Wenjing could speak, he coldly ordered, "Collect any remaining information within a five-kilometer radius and track down those people."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenjing instantly perked up and was the first to respond, releasing her special ability to investigate the forgotten details.
Lu Yize released Che and Jiang Yue from the space. Just now, in the critical situation, Jiang Yue was locked in the space by him and had been scratching at the wall for a while.
Lu Yize didn't release her in front of so many people, but he only released her now that they were out of the central base.
As expected, the moment she was released, Jiang Yue, enraged, pinned Lu Yize to the car seat, straddled him, and bit his neck in a fit of rage.
