Chapter 205: Being preempted
The distance between us was so close that they were completely defenseless and were blown apart by the ability that bounced back, and only the bearded man and the more obedient young man next to him, because they didn't use the ability to attack, cast their abilities to block the flames and ice wind in the moment of danger, and didn't become a trapped pond fish.
In an instant, there were a few more charred corpses and pieces of corpses that were frozen and then broken on the ground, and if they had just tried a little, they wouldn't have died so miserably.
"Wait, we're willing to join your camp and never tell anyone, so let's spare our lives!" The bearded man handed over his gun and motioned for the young man next to him to do so.
Making a compromise on death is nothing new, I looked at Shangguan Li, Shangguan Li still shook his head lightly, Li Huaiqing said with brain waves, Shangguan Li couldn't read the idea of a beard.
There are two possibilities, one is that the bearded man really doesn't even know about the abilities in his camp, and the other is that the bearded man has a way to restrain the ability to read minds.
I didn't answer, the bearded and young man's bodies suddenly fell to the ground as my gaze fell on them, and since I couldn't ask anything, it was useless to keep them.
Besides, the bearded man didn't know how to block Shangguan Li's mind-reading ability, and such a hidden danger must not be put into the small city again.
We didn't know why the bearded superiors wanted him to stall, the unknown danger was irritating, I ran out of patience, jumped into the bearded car to look for clues, and found a simple hand-drawn map in the driver's seat, and the destination was the small town.
I tore off the map, there was nothing else in the car except food and drink, and I don't know if this group often came out to rob, so I didn't take anything related to the camp with me, in case others found their nest.
Shangguan Li and Li Huaiqing went back and called a few people, and we searched all three convoys, but these people acted cautiously and left no clues.
There are still a few hours before dawn, according to Shangguan Li's meaning, let the others hide in the mountains first, the location of the small city has been exposed, and Lin Ruoshi and the others are not in the attacking team, they are likely to join the camp of the bearded man.
Then it will be a matter of time before the other party sends someone again, my rebound cover can't stop the bullets, and it's very dangerous for ordinary survivors to stay in the city.
"I think...... We should move the source stone back as soon as possible, this matter must be done immediately. "The level of an ability is the key to survival, and the Source Stone Mine is the only hope we can hope for a rapid increase in strength at the moment.
Originally, I wanted to send Hu Tao and them to run again, but when I entered the secret passage to discuss with everyone, I suddenly changed my mind and decided to lead the team myself.
The ordinary survivors were led by Shangguan Li, and they hid in the mountains first as planned, and when they couldn't escape, they asked Cao Baoyang to turn them into dead trees and messy blocks.
The few people who went with me are all inherited from my bloodline, and it will take time for the source stone mine to move back, and we must race against time now, so it is better to bring the people who need it over and absorb the source stone directly.
In addition to Shangguan Li and Cao Baoyang, Zheng Chao, Li Huaiqing, Zhou Li, Hu Tao and I were just five people, and we rushed to the source stone mine cave without stopping, but found that there were people moving around the cave entrance.
There were guards with guns, there were unopened equipment in the open space outside the cave, and a truck came from a distance.
Looking at what kind of machine parts it looked like, Zheng Chao whispered to us that it was a crane part, and it seemed that this group of people was going to carry large items.
There are still any large items in the source stone mine, they are not always trying to dig stones, I ordered to kill these guards and porters outside the cave, and then take people directly into the cave.
The natural labyrinth of the underground cavern bought us time, and as we went down, the gang was tinkering with electronic equipment, apparently trying to find a way to the cave within the cave.
There is no need to be polite to compete for resources, I immediately asked Zheng Chao and them to do it, Li Huaiqing and Zhou Li used guns, Zheng Chao and Hu Tao used abilities, and I used spiritual power to probe deeper places.
I thought that this group of people holding the instrument to adjust it showed that they had not penetrated into the maze yet, but my mental tentacles found active brain waves near the hole in the hole, but fortunately there was only one.
The strangers in the cave are much more powerful than the ones outside, I asked Hu Tao to resist them, I want to rush to stop the person who is close to the source stone mine, in case the other party can directly absorb the power of the source stone, it will be very unfavorable to us.
Although I thought that this was unlikely, I couldn't help but worry that this kind of anxiety could not be settled with reason and logic, it was like a woman's sixth sense, which made me feel uneasy.
I teleported behind the brainwave and hid next to a cone-shaped rock, and the man suddenly turned around and looked at where I was standing.
"Who? Come out! The man stared at the stone where I was hiding and whispered.
"Who are you?" I stepped forward and asked rhetorically.
The two sides looked at each other, he had a miner's lamp in his hand, and he could see each other clearly, he was of medium height, thin build, bookish, and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
Although this person does not have half of the gangsterism, I still feel that his aura is very unusual, let me explain it in detail, I can't tell you clearly, just a feeling, I feel that this person is very strange.
"I asked you first." He said that he did not seem to want to compromise on the matter.
"Our people discovered this gem mine, and now they are mining gems, my surname is Ray."
"Gems?" He looked at me suspiciously, stared into my eyes, and asked, "What gem?" There are no gems here, you are mistaken, those are just ordinary ores. ”
"Ordinary ore can also be sold for money, we discovered it first, and naturally it belongs to us."
Hu Tao and the other party's strange people passed on each other's voices, and I deliberately repeated 'we' to let him know that I didn't come alone.
"No, these stones are worthless, they can't be burned or metal, and they're useless to you."
"Heh, why didn't you use the crane to transport it, it was useless to us, but it was useful to you? Tell me, what are you doing with it? ”
Seeing that I was not reluctant, the other party took out a miniature pistol from his arms, obviously he was not a person who was good at verbal battles.
"You tell me what it's for, and I'll give up." I raised my hands to make a surrender and decided to take a tactful approach to dealing with such 'direct' people.
"Really?" And sure enough, he believed.
"Of course, I'm not going to joke with my life, my ability is only teleportation, so ......" I shrugged helplessly as I looked at the gun in his hand.
"Well, let me tell you, this is a major discovery for humans, no, the most critical discovery, it can suppress the zombie virus!"
"Oh? Can it cure zombies? ”
"No, that's not it, but it can inhibit the development of the virus, and if you are injected with an inhibitor when you are infected, you can preserve your memory and consciousness."
I saw that the more he talked, the more excited he became, and I couldn't help but pour cold water and said: "Then it's better to evolve into a high-level zombie, at least it has a special ability." ”
The state he was talking about was only a little stronger than that of ordinary zombies, and the memories and sanity he retained might only make people more miserable.
"No, how can you think like that, if the condition can be controlled, there will be time to wait for a complete cure."
"Have you figured out a cure? Are you a doctor? ”
"There are already initial results, but I need more time, so you have to know that this ore is an essential hope for humanity."
"The people outside, are you and your gang? Which camp are you from? ”
"They are my sponsors, the location of the base must be kept secret, I have signed a non-disclosure agreement, can I tell your friends to stop now? One minute later, humanity has one less chance of being saved. ”
The tone and expression of his voice exude a fanatical obsession, presumably a medical maniac or a mad scientist, and he is full of fighting spirit to save mankind.
The hope of mankind and the safety of the town are really a dilemma, I smiled slightly, and was about to launch a small spiritual attack on this innocent and stupid guy, but was stopped by another spiritual force.
As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was any, and the force that held me did not allow me to resist at all, and the sense of crisis in my heart immediately sounded the alarm, and I followed the force to look at a boulder on my side.
At this time, a person came out from behind the stone, with snow-white silver hair coiled behind his head, and the skin on his wrinkled face was unusually fair, obviously looking seventy or eighty years old, but he couldn't find a single age spot on his face.
Dressed in a flaming red cotton shirt and cotton pants, with a pair of embroidered shoes on the three-inch golden lotus, the generation that wrapped her feet is very rare, and the real age of this old lady is probably much older than it seems.
"Girl, you ...... There is corpse gas. "The old lady spoke very slowly, in a low tone, very rhythmically.
"Granny Hong, is she infected?" The medical maniac looked at me in amazement.
"Hmm... Yes and no. The old lady, known as the Red Woman, spoke slowly again.
"What do you mean?" The medical maniac looked back and forth on me curiously.
"The corpse qi on her body is too old, at least thousands of years old." The only pair of eyes of the red mother-in-law are bright, not at all like the elderly, and the black and white eyes are as pure and bright as a child.
I really don't want to hear them continue to discuss my expiration date and take the lead in attacking the medical maniac, because I know that I am not completely sure about the Red Granny.
I wanted to restrain the medical madman first, and then threaten Granny Hong to release him, but there was an invisible shield on the medical maniac's body that blocked my attack.
"Girl, you are no match for the old woman." Granny Red squinted and smiled, and I felt countless spiritual threads wrap around me and wrap around me like a spider's web.
In the face of a powerful force that can definitely outperform me, I don't even need to be tempted, I know I can't beat her, so I make a false move and use the teleportation egg to escape to the exit.
