Chapter 264
As soon as they got out of the city, they all used their abilities to quickly approach the woods, and now those mutant beasts, with the organization, they have to seize the time for them to repair, and hurry up to expand the woods outward, if in the process, they encounter individual mutant beasts, they can deal with them.
But if they encounter a large team, they will have to retreat, so they have to compete with the mutant beasts for time. Also, if they burn the forest now, the mutant beasts won't see any action, but if they react to the smaller the forest, the less space they have to move, they won't be able to do it.
As soon as the Adepts reached the edge of the forest, they automatically fanned out in a row and began to cut down trees. One by one, the woods fell, and the mutant beasts in the forest were rewarded by the small beasts below, but they didn't think so much: "Regardless of the humans, let them go, and go out when we are finished." ”
At the foot of the mutant beasts were the corpses of some humans, some people were released from the base, and there were people from other bases, they were guarding outside, and they were still thinking that when the people from the base came out, they would lead some mutant beasts to the side of the Leng family's team as before.
But they never expected that the mutant beasts would suddenly have an organization, a leader, and treat all these individuals they hid in the forest as snacks, and eat them first, and because of eating them, the mutant beasts got benefits from it, and they began to think about attacking the base - there are more supernatural people there.
In fact, it is not surprising that the mutant beasts have attacked the base since they ate those abilities outside, and the humans have obtained the crystal nucleus of the mutant beasts, and the ability level can be increased. It's the same with mutant beasts, these people who started eating the forest just to satisfy their appetite.
But unexpectedly, after they ate one ability, they found that his meat was particularly delicious, and their ability had also improved, so they had a meeting and decided to attack the base, they were all beasts, and they had good noses. I smelled the strangers in the base from afar.
It's just a pity that the first attack they organized ended in failure. They didn't expect the humans in the base to be so powerful, so they had no choice but to retreat into the forest. Now that they heard that the humans had come out of the base to burn the forest, they took it seriously, but asked the beasts to rest quickly.
They are protected against humans. Humans are also guarding against them. Leng Old Man and they advanced a few hundred meters later. Feeling that something was wrong, Old Man Li frowned and said, "Ah Nan, we are a few hundred meters ahead." Why didn't you even see a mutant beast?"
Old Man Leng looked around: "They may want us to go deeper and do it." ”
Old Man Li waved his hand: "Stop." ”
Everyone stopped, and Old Man Li said, "We have made quite fast progress in the east, and we are now going south." ”
After speaking, he led the team to retreat, and after reaching the edge, he led people to start breaking through from the south, and the mutant beast leader in the forest stared at the boss: "Hateful humans, run fast, and want them to go further, and stay away from the base to do it, I didn't expect them to run away." ”
A little beast said: "It's okay, King, they have arrived here today, and if they still want to burn the mountain tomorrow, they will have to go inside, and then we will make another move." ”
The leader of the mutant beast nodded: "Okay, we won't attack the base in the next few days, our losses are too great, and we haven't achieved results yet, now it's their own death, and when they go deeper, it's time for us to destroy them." ”
Old man Li's cold old man, Zhang Xin, they are still turning over and burning the mountain, after the abilities in front of them are exhausted, they will step back a little, let the people behind them keep an eye on them, they will recuperate in the back, and wait for the ability to meet the qualifications, and then change them to the people in front, so as not to delay time at all.
This action is a team of two, one after the other, Bai Chongshan said to Xiao Gao: "After Xiao Gao releases all the abilities in his body, he will absorb them again, so that the ability level is very fast." ”
Xiao Gao nodded: "Okay, I see." ”
Xiao Gao is the lowest level of ability here, he has never taken over a task since he had the ability, and the crystal absorbing nucleus is also the one sent by the base, and he doesn't have any private room. The base stipulates that the crystal nucleus obtained from the mission, and I am divided in half with the base, and only he relies on the crystal nucleus of the base to absorb the ability.
There is also the ability to run out and then automatically refill, so the ability level is also fast, but Xiao Gao is in the research room, and he has not practiced his ability much, so now, he is still the same as he was at the beginning, and he has not made any progress at all, after absorbing the crystal nucleus of the mutant beast yesterday.
There are some signs of loosening of his ability, plus he has been working hard to practice his ability since he came out, and now Xiao Gao's ability has been upgraded, Bai Chongshan found Xiao Gao's abnormality, thinking that he used too much of the ability, and asked in fright: "Xiao Gao, what's wrong?"
Xiao Gao laughed: "Brother Bai, my ability has been upgraded. ”
As soon as I heard Xiao Gao's ability upgrade, the happiest person was Bai Chongshan, Xiao Gao's ability level is higher, so he can live longer, and he can accompany him more in this last days, Bai Chongshan smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes: "Okay, you can sit here now and upgrade, and I will stay by your side." ”
Although the ability upgrade is not like the advancement of a cultivator, there is a thunder tribulation or something, but Bai Chongshan is still a little uneasy, quietly staying here, Leng Xi beside him heard Xiao Gao's ability advancement, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Xiao Gao is now starting to enter the team of longevity." ”
After speaking, he led people to occupy Bai Chongshan and Xiao Gaokong, and let the two of them upgrade their abilities in the back, Bai Chongshan thanked Leng Xi for his carefulness, and nodded at him: "Thank you." ”
Leng Xi smiled: "Take care of Xiao Gao." ”
After an hour, Xiao Gao opened his eyes, jumped up from the ground, and looked at Bai Chongshan in front of him: "Brother Bai, I am now at the second level of ability, and I can live for hundreds of years." ”
Bai Chongshan hugged him into his arms: "Yes." Looking forward to your next upgrade. ”
Xiao Gao nodded: "Yes." ”
After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Bai Chongshan, who was holding him: "Brother Bai, why does my body feel different now than before?"
Bai Chongshan smiled: "Yes, every time the ability is upgraded. The body has been re-trained, and the increase in the level of the ability is not only a quantitative change, but also a qualitative difference, giving me the feeling that every time the ability is upgraded, it is like the computer we used to use, from single core to dual core. ”
Old Man Leng and Old Man Li were also very happy to see that Xiao Gao had advanced, and Old Man Li was interested, and he talked more: "Ah Nan." You said that these mutant beast leaders are tigers and leopards. And aren't the wolves in packs, and if they were to be ruled by other beasts, would they agree?"
Old Man Leng thought for a moment: "Maybe their mutant beasts are also respected by the strong now, and it is possible that they are also compared to their abilities, who is the most powerful." Whoever becomes the leader. Wait until the other beast abilities level up. If you challenge it and succeed in it, you will be king. ”
Old man Li nodded: "There is this possibility." In the past, this kind of thing often happened in the lion clan and the monkey clan, but there are many fewer wolf clans, does it mean that the wolf clan is smarter than other clans?"
Old Man Leng smiled: "All the clans will hunt together, and it's not that they think they are smarter, it's just that these mutant beasts suddenly have an organization, the last time we entered the forest, it wasn't like this, and when we looked for Bai Chongshan that time, they still acted alone." ”
Behind him, Xiao Gao and Bai Chongshan caught up, Xiao Gao listened to the words of the cold old man, and continued: "If nothing else, it is the mutant beast in the research institute that broke through the control and ran out, its IQ is very high, and its ability is also strong, and it conquered the alien beast as soon as it came out." ”
Bai Chongshan frowned and looked at his feet: "I really don't know, there will be a mysterious organization near us, fortunately, we have been here for so long, and they have never come to trouble us, but I am a little afraid to get down now, I am really afraid that I don't know when a person will appear under my feet." ”
Xiao Gao listened to the music: "Don't worry, there will be no human beings." ”
When they heard this, they all looked at Xiao Gao, just now they felt the same as Bai Chongshan, and they were afraid that there were people hiding under their feet. Bai Chongshan asked, "Why do you say that?"
Xiao Gao replied: "Do you think, now that the mutant beast has appeared, and in his mind, he may have the consciousness of the person who came to our base, what does this mean?"
Speaking of which, no one needs to ask, and begins to ask and answer themselves: "This shows that the mutant beast killed all the people in the research institute, and then ran out and formed a team, so we can rest assured that even now that we have the research institute under our feet, there must be no humans in it." ”
Xiao Gao said this, and added: "Perhaps, because of the benefits of eating the crystal nucleus of the supernatural, they want to attack our base, and they also want to make us their meal." ”
Xiao Gao's analysis, several people felt that it made sense, Bai Chongshan said: "Now you can rest assured, or you always worry about your feet." ”
Old man Li looked at Xiao Gao: "Is there any special way for Xiao Gao to destroy these mutant beasts in one fell swoop?"
Xiao Gao shook his head: "I don't know about them, and there is no way to do it now." ”
Old Man Leng smiled: "It's still the old way, let's kill it." ”
A few people joined the team again, and after the surrounding forests were expanded by a few hundred meters, everyone often went deeper, and the old man Leng called a stop, and everyone returned to the base, on this day, they didn't even see a mutant beast. Back in the house, Old Man Li lay on the bed and was massaged by Old Man Leng on his back.
Old man Li squinted comfortably and asked, "Ah Nan, you said that we pushed the forest out a few hundred meters all day today, why didn't a single mutant beast appear, judging from the IQ that they can attack our base, they won't not know, the smaller the forest, the more they can't survive?"
Old Man Leng pressed his hand heavily, and Old Man Li turned over: "When you massage in the future, you can't talk to you about business, it hurts me to death this time." ”
Only then did Old Man Leng realize that his hands were heavy, so he was busy laughing and remedy, and said while rubbing it for Old Man Li: "I think that the mutant beasts are deliberately letting us go deeper, and when we enter some more and have no chance to retreat to the base, they will attack us." ”
Li Laoyi glared when he heard this: "Will they be so smart?
Old Man Leng nodded: "At the beginning, I didn't think so, but this day, our progress is not slow, and not a single mutant beast will not be able to meet it." ”
Old man Li pondered: "Then what should we do?
Old Man Leng thought for a moment: "I don't know where the bottom line of these mutant beasts is, is it a few kilometers, or will they be shot tomorrow." But no matter what happens to them, when we go out again tomorrow, we'll have to make all the preparations, so that even if the mutants come out, we'll be able to get out of the nest. ”
Old man Li frowned: "This is a bit difficult, you can also see how fierce they are when they attack the city." ”
Old Man Leng nodded: "Yes, bring a few of them over, and let's study them together." ”
Old man Li instructed: "You must call Xiao Gao." ”
Old Man Leng agreed: "Okay." I'll go down first, and let Li Xian instruct, you quickly put on your clothes. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Old Man Li's white and tender skin with nostalgia. ran downstairs before Old Man Li was about to go crazy. said to Li Xian, who was guarding below, "Take my three sons." Jiayi, Bai Chongshan, Xiao Gao, Zhang Xin Gaomeng. A few of them called. That's right. My two daughters-in-law also called over. ”
Li Xian and Li Nian went out, and at this time, Old Man Li had already sorted out his clothes and came down from upstairs. Said to Old Man Leng: "Aren't you hungry?"
Old Man Leng then remembered that they hadn't eaten for a day, so he patted his head with his hand: "On this day, my brain is full of mutant beasts, and I forgot that I didn't even eat, wait a while, let Li Xian and them order to set a table, just right, I brought the children over." ”
Old man Li stood up when he heard this: "It's better for me to go in person, let them serve the food quickly." ”
After speaking, he walked out: "Ah Nan, you said that we people, is twenty menus enough?"
Old Man Leng choked for a moment: "Ah Kang, we are less than ten people, twenty dishes, don't you think it's too extravagant?"
Old man Li glared at him: "I now think that I can eat a roast suckling pig by myself!"
As soon as he heard the delicious food, Old Man Leng's stomach also screamed, and he looked at Old Man Li helplessly: "Ah Kang, I won't give more, let's order twenty dishes, the dishes are bigger, and the meat dishes are more." It's best to have dry goods, by the way, Ah Kang, you go to the kitchen to arrange it, and everyone adds vegetables. Everyone is tired. ”
Old man Li nodded, and went out to order, he was really hungry, and he couldn't wait for Li Xian and Li Nian to pass the food. As soon as he walked to the kitchen, he saw a person sneakily glance back, and then turned around and entered the kitchen, Old Man Li frowned and followed gently.
He now has the highest ability in the base, so if Old Man Li wants to hide information, it is not easy for ordinary people to find out, Old Man Li has a problem when he sees this person, and wants to arrest him directly, but he is afraid that he doesn't know what he is going to do?
The man entered the kitchen, closed the door, and the old man Li couldn't get in, if he opened the door, he would be discovered by this person, and when the old man Li looked up and saw the window at the height of the kitchen, he had an idea, and jumped up at once, just in time to see what the person was doing.
The man took out a paper bag from his clothes, and this action made Old Man Li make a move, he didn't come to steal food, he came to poison him, I really didn't expect that so many people were driven away, and the base was not cleaned, and there were bad people who stayed behind and wanted to make trouble in the base.
Old man Li jumped down from the window, knocked the man to the ground with a fist, the man raised his eyes to see the old man Li, felt like he saw a ghost, and screamed in fright, the old man Li raised his hand, removed his chin, reached out to grab his foot, and dragged him out of the kitchen.
As soon as he came out of the kitchen, he saw Li Xian coming over, and when he saw the person in the hands of Old Man Li, what else did he not understand, Old Man Li said to Li Dianxian: "Let everyone gather in the square." ”
Li Xian hurriedly ran to inform the people who were caught in the kitchen, and they knew that they were poisoned without thinking about it, if it wasn't for the head of the house to find out, it would be impossible to say whether they would be able to live or not, Li Xian ran into the house and said to the old man Leng: "Just now the head of the house was in the kitchen, caught a person, and let all of us gather in the square." ”
As soon as they heard that Old Man Li had arrested someone in the kitchen, everyone paid attention to it and walked towards the square together, Li Xian and Li Nian began to busily inform the people below again, and after a while, all the people in the base gathered in the square. Old man Li pointed to the man lying on the ground with his hand: "He threw poison into the kitchen dishes and was caught by me." ”
As soon as Old Man Li said this, the people below began to discuss, and the cold old man beside Old Man Li reached out to hold Old Man Li's hand, saw that his face turned white with anger, and said distressedly: "Don't be angry, it's just a few people." ”
Old man Li glared at him: "They are not people. ”
Old Man Leng didn't dare to screw with Ah Kang now, and nodded immediately: "They are not people." ”
Leng Jue looked at the people underground. Without asking him anything, he said to the people below, "Whoever works in the kitchen, stand up." ”
After a while, more than a dozen people stood up in front of everyone, and Leng Jue looked at them: "How can there be no one in the kitchen, let people take advantage of the loopholes, this person is not from the kitchen, does it mean that you have always been like this, anyone can go to the kitchen to poison." That's how you manage the kitchen?"
Leng Xi said: "Let's talk about them all. Why did you leave the kitchen, where did you go, how could it be so coincidental, everything was in trouble. Leave the kitchen empty?"
Kitchen steward. Frightened, his face turned earthy: "The head of the house." It was my daughter-in-law who was about to give birth, so I went back, before leaving. arranged for Xiao Zhang and Xiao Qian to let the two of them be in charge, and let them help me keep an eye on it for a while. ”
Leng Xi looked down, and at this time a woman stood up: "I informed the steward that his daughter-in-law was going to give birth, and now she has given birth to a son." ”
Leng Xi nodded, pointed to the other side with his finger, the steward hurriedly stood over, wiped the sweat on his head with his hand, he was really frightened, he left for a while, but he didn't expect something to happen in the kitchen. This is a dereliction of duty, no matter what the final result is, he will be punished.
Leng Xi turned his eyes to Xiao Zhang and Xiao Qian arranged by the steward just now, both of them had a look on their faces, Xiao Zhang's eyes turned left and right for a long time before he said: "I lost a crystal nucleus in a bet yesterday, and when I was preparing the dish, Xiao Li and the others came to me and said that they wanted to play with me." ”
Speaking of this, his voice became smaller and smaller, and Leng Xi looked at the crowd: "The person who is looking for him to gamble stands up." ”
Three people stood up, all trembling: "It's not us, and we didn't expect this to happen." ”
Leng Xi looked at Xiao Zhang: "Usually, you just desert casually when you go to work, don't you?"
Xiao Zhang didn't dare to speak, he was really used to it casually.
Leng Xi looked at Xiao Qian again, and Xiao Qian took the initiative to say: "It was Da Li who asked me to help him pull the vegetables over, saying that the wheels were broken." He is also in the kitchen. ”
The meaning of small money is that the person is in the kitchen, and it is forgivable for him to do things. Leng Xi looked at a tall man who stood up again, and the man said: "I'm Da Li, I usually have a good cart, but I don't know what's wrong today, and I didn't have much food, but the wheels fell off, so I had to go to the kitchen to find a little money to help." ”
Speaking of this, he also added: "He usually helps pick vegetables or something, not a chef, if there is anything in our kitchen, we ask him for help." ”
Leng Xi glanced at Xiao Qian: "You stand with the steward." ”
Da Li was just about to go over, and Leng Xi came over with an eye knife: "Did you let you pass?"
Da Li didn't dare to speak, just now he just thought that he was looking for a small amount of money to help because of the car breakdown, and he was very confident, but now Leng Xi didn't let him go, he just thought, why is the car broken today, will people suspect that he deliberately broke the car and cheated the small money?
Da Li thought of this, and the sweat came out.
Then, a few more people got out of trouble, and now there are only three people on the left, and Leng Xi is lying on the ground with his eyes: "Tell me, who is your accomplice?"
Lying down is also a tough one, gritting his teeth and not saying anything, Zhang Xin walked over and punched him in the stomach, the man didn't make a sound, Li Jin frowned, and said to Zhang Xin: "Brother, let's do it with me." ”
After speaking, he walked over, stretched out his hand and picked up one of the hands of the man on the ground, and broke the man's arm with one force, and the man's mouth let out a miserable scream, and there was a voice in the crowd below: "Isn't this too cruel?"
Li Jin looked at them and didn't speak, but the old man Li sitting on it stopped doing it: "There are accidents in the base, I have seen that they are all the people of the Leng family, I don't know how you managed it before, but from now on, all the big and small matters in this base are decided by the Li family." ”
After speaking, he looked at the old man Leng and his third son and daughter-in-law sitting on the stage: "Do you have any opinions?"
Old man Leng looked embarrassed: "Let Ah Kang suffer." ”
Leng Jue nodded: "I should have let my dad manage it a long time ago, what has become of the base now? ”
Leng Yan also agreed: "There should be some rules, now that the end of the world is over, what the previous principles no longer work here." ”
Leng Xi continued: "Yes, those who provide food and drink still come to harm people." (To be continued......)
