Chapter 326: Supernatural Power Blocker
“I always thought they were dead, but two months later, Shen Xiuyin took the tortured ordinary people in the base and attacked the base with guns and cannons. He developed a superpower jammer. At that time, the superpowers of the superpower users lost their effects overnight, and the entire base was under his control.”
“Later, he brought some people here. He didn’t kill those people with special abilities directly, but used them for experiments. Those with high levels were implanted with bombs and kept by their side. The rest either died on his test bench or were thrown into the mutant fish school when he was unhappy.”
Bai Shu said this with a blank expression, as if it was not something he had ever experienced before.
“How many people are here?” Antonio asked directly without much emotion.
“There are about a hundred of them. All the ordinary people in the base who could leave have left, and most of those who couldn’t leave have died. There are only so many left. They have occupied the opponent’s supply points and now rely on those supplies to survive.”
The supplies of a base can feed about a hundred people, which should be enough for them to live comfortably.
“Just the two of you with special powers?” Antonio stood up and looked around the laboratory facilities. Like Zhuang Mingxu, the first thing he looked for was surveillance equipment.
“He only brings two people, and they must be of the highest level. If a higher level person appears, the original psychic will be replaced.”
This made Antonio look at him carefully, “So, there is a high possibility that we will replace you, then why are you telling us this?”
Bai Shu then looked up at them, his calm face showing a slight fluctuation, which could not be seen without careful observation. “The pain switch of the heart bomb is the same. I was the first to be implanted. Every time someone makes a mistake, I will be punished in the same way.”
“I feel like my heart is failing, and I don’t want my sister to stay here.” Bai Shu sat up with difficulty, hugging his knees, his long hair covering half of his body, making him look like an insecure child.
“Those ordinary people are crazy. Their minds are twisted. They enjoy torturing those with special powers. When they have had enough fun, they throw them to the mutant fish to eat.”
Being surrounded by such a crowd, one can imagine what his sister will face after his death.
Antonio glanced at Lu Weiyi when he heard this, “Do you know the location of the jammer?”
Bai Shu shook his head and said, “I saw the doctor give one to Zhuang Mingbo yesterday. It was only the size of a palm, like a small radio. The shielding area is only twenty meters around it.”
“I’ve never seen the one that’s set up here before. I heard from those who broke into the base with him that the device wasn’t very big, with a long rectangular arm. Due to its small size, the battery capacity is not large, and is only enough for more than an hour of consumption.”
“I often observe the doctor, hoping to see his charging process and see the instrument, but…” Bai Shu shook his head, “not even once.”
Antonio’s eyes moved around and finally stopped at the zombie in the fish tank next to him. “Why is there a zombie imprisoned here?”
“He was the former person in charge of the Nanheng City base, and the psychic who founded the base. After the base was breached, Shen Xiuyin bit him with a zombie, and he has been locked here since he turned into a zombie.” When Bai Shu saw this man, he could still remember the many psychics in the previous base, but those people had all turned into zombies.
Antonio stared at the zombie in front of him for a moment, then looked away.
“It seems that your superpowers are not affected by the jammer?” Antonio looked at Dean’s neck. The instrument was obviously pierced into the skin.
Bai Shu followed his gaze and nodded, “This is a blocker. It can block the signal of the jammer, and the wearer’s supernatural powers will not be affected.”
Seeing that Antonio wanted to ask more questions, Bai Shu shook his head bluntly and said, “I have only seen two, and I always thought there were only two. This is the one the doctor just gave me.”
“It’s easy to change someone else if you want to use it. Just take it off and put it on someone else, but…” Bai Shu looked at Antonio and Dean. The relationship between the two was not concealed, and anyone could see their relationship at a glance.
Even if Dean’s shielding device was given to Antonio, his special powers would not be able to save so many people, unless he only took Dean with him. In that case, the teammates who stayed behind would probably suffer for him.
Antonio also thought of this. He looked down at Dean, then turned to look at Lu Weiyi, silently asking him for a solution.
“Let me think.” The aftereffect of the previous blow was too strong. Lu Weiyi seemed to still be able to feel the feeling of his entire heart being clenched, twitching, and he couldn’t help but press his chest.
If he wore a shielding device, he could bring everyone directly into the space, but by then the difference in his space would probably be exposed.
He didn’t want to do this unless it was absolutely necessary.
Moreover, he also needs to remove the bomb in his body within a limited time. The bomb with positioning will definitely alarm Shen Xiuyin once his signal source disappears.
We need to think of a foolproof plan.
As Lu Weiyi thought about it, he felt more and more uncomfortable, and his heart ached violently.
“What’s wrong with you?” Bai Shu had calmed down by now. He thought he was being pretentious and looked at Lu Weiyi with strange eyes.
Lu Weiyi shook his head, “I feel my chest…”
Antonio and Dean then turned to look at Lu Weiyi. They found that his forehead was wet with sweat, his white hands were tightly clutching the white coat he had just put on his chest, and the veins on his knuckles were bulging.
In just a few breaths, he seemed to be dying.
“Lu?” Dean approached him in panic.
Just as Antonio helped him up, Lu Weiyi collapsed.
Bai Shu was also stunned by this situation. He stood up and walked a few steps towards the three people. Seeing his appearance, he reached out and touched his breath directly.
Antonio and Dean looked at him and saw that Bai Shu was serious and said, “He’s not breathing.”
He put his hand on Lu Weiyi’s neck, his fingertips also calm.
“What’s going on?” Antonio asked sternly. Dean had already injected supernatural powers into Lu Weiyi again.
“Do you have heart disease?” Bai Shu asked, put Lu Weiyi on the ground and started first aid.
Antonio shook his head.
“My heart… is swollen,” Dean said at this time.
“What do you mean?” Bai Shu asked.
Antonio also looked over.
Dean increased the output of his supernatural powers and restored the abnormal parts he found. Bai Shu’s first aid also took effect. Lu Weiyi choked and coughed twice and began to breathe again.
“Here,” Dean pointed at Lu Weiyi’s chest, “it’s swollen inside.”
“Is there a swelling inside the heart?” Antonio looked at the spot he pointed at and asked carefully, “Is that where he placed the bomb?”
“Nearby,” Dean thought back.
“You can feel this?” It was the first time that Bai Shu heard that the healing system could achieve such a level.
“I… have been trained and can use my superpowers to sense abnormalities.” Dean said with a little pride, but when he thought about the process of researching neuromuscular repair in order to save Zhuang Mingxu’s knee, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
“Lu, what’s wrong with you?” Dean saw Lu Weiyi wake up and leaned close to him to ask.
“What’s wrong with me?” After this incident, Lu Weiyi’s face looked extremely ugly and he looked very weak, as if he could die at any time.
“Your breathing and heartbeat stopped,” Antonio replied.
“Do you have a history of heart disease? Or does someone in your family have a history of heart disease?” Bai Shu asked.
Lu Weiyi shook his head. After all, several years had passed in his previous life, and he really couldn’t remember if there was any problem with his physical examination before the end of the world.
Antonio knew that this was a young master who didn’t worry about things after they were done, so he didn’t ask any more questions. He let Dean pay attention to his situation and asked about the white book again.
…
In the room where a group of people were imprisoned, Ning Yuan was leaning against the wall, holding a dagger in his hand, and constantly drilling holes in the wall. Li Zhuang next to him was working in the same position. After a while, a bean-sized hole appeared between the two of them.
“Fortunately, the earth-type mutant who made this thing is not of a very high level. If he makes it into cement concrete like you, then we don’t even have to think about it.” Ning Yuan sighed in a low voice, opened the hole a little wider, and handed over the gun that he had disassembled into parts.
“Can it be assembled?” Ning Yuan asked in a low voice.
“Don’t worry,” Li Zhuang said concisely. When he got it, he assembled it quickly with his hands.
“Awesome!” Ning Yuan took a look through the small hole and gave a thumbs up.
“How many more do you have?” Li Zhuang skillfully moved the pistol, put it behind his back, and asked him.
“Four, two crystal core guns and two ordinary ones.” Ning Yuan felt pain in his back when he thought that his not-so-thick body could hold four guns.
“Who is on your side?” Ning Yuan asked.
“Liu Rui, give it to him after we get out.” It is not easy to dig a hole, so there is no need to give it to everyone now.
After Li Zhuang finished replying, he remembered that Liu Rui might have been injured and unconscious when he came in, so he introduced the current situation to him, “Antonio is next to Liu Rui, and over there they are mixed in two rooms, so the details are not clear.”
“Has Lu Weiyi been taken away and brought back?” Ning Yuan asked.
“No, when they came to take Dean away, they said a bomb was installed in his heart. There is no news yet,” Li Zhuang said, and gave Ning Yuan a wink.
Ning Yuan immediately remembered that when Li Qing and others were parasitized by plants, Lu Weiyi directly used his supernatural powers to remove the plants from their bodies. He thought that as long as his supernatural powers were restored and there were people with healing powers around, it would not be difficult to remove the bomb.
The rare thing is that they now have no special abilities.
A few rooms away, Zhuang Mingxu was planning a breakout at night based on the limited information he had, but the premise was… he needed to meet Lu Weiyi.
“Isn’t it too hasty tonight?” Zhou Nan and the others folded the only shirts they had on them and put them on the ground, asking Zhuang Mingxu to put the sleeping Zhuang Aiyi on them, so that both the adults and children would not be sweating from the heat.
Zhuang Mingxu carefully put Zhuang Aiyi down.
The child was frightened, and even after one of his hands was let go, he still held on to Zhuang Mingxu’s arm tightly.
“Taotao, stay with your brother, okay… Taotao? Taotao, what’s wrong with you?” Zhuang Mingxu was just about to let the ignorant Taotao stay with Zhuang Aiyi when he saw Taotao, who was sitting obediently, fall directly to the ground.
His face was black and blue, as if he had been poisoned for a long time, and his eyes were closed and he looked lifeless, which reminded Zhuang Mingxu of the boy buried in an ancient tomb he had seen a long time ago.
“What’s wrong?”
“Brother Zhuang, what happened?”
“What happened to Taotao?”
There were voices asking questions from the next room, and then someone started kicking the door.
“Taotao? Wake up?” Zhuang Mingxu knelt on the ground and picked up Taotao. The child who was alive just now was now cold all over, as if he had been dead for a long time.
Thinking of the connection between him and Lu Weiyi, Zhuang Mingxu had a bad feeling.
“Big Daddy?” Zhuang Aiyi, who was woken up, got up dazedly, rubbing his eyes and grabbing Zhuang Mingxu.
Zhuang Mingxu had already stood up holding Taotao. He felt as light as air, not at all like his usual weight. He kicked hard at the only door, “Is there anyone there?”
“Open the door! Open the door!”
“What’s going on? Lin Mo, what happened to you guys?”
“Taotao suddenly lost consciousness and her current condition is unclear,” Zhou Nan said as he pushed Zhuang Mingxu away and kicked the door hard.
The wooden door was extremely thick, and even after being tampered with, it only made a clanging sound, without any sign of breaking. However, it did alarm the people who were escorting them back not far away.
“Are you looking for death?” Old Li took a gun and kicked the door from outside, “If you continue to make trouble, I will feed you to the fish in advance.”
“The child here is sick, can you find a doctor?” Lin Mo said anxiously.
“Doctor?” Old Li laughed as if he had heard a joke, and suddenly his face changed, “You are prisoners, and you still think you are here to enjoy your life?”
“Since he is sick, I might as well send him to feed the fishes, so that the fish can have a full meal.” As he said this, he walked towards the room where Lin Mo and the others were.
But when he saw several tall and strong men in the room through the glass, he stopped again.
“Mingxu, do you need help?” Ning Yuan had already clasped his hands behind his back, waiting for Zhuang Mingxu’s response, and then used his weapon to break open the door in front of him.
“Big Daddy” At this moment, Taotao suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice.
“Taotao?” Zhuang Mingxu was startled and looked down. The child woke up and his body returned to its normal temperature.
He reached out and checked the child’s breathing, which was normal.
I breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that my entire back was wet with sweat.
“It’s okay for now.” After Zhuang Mingxu replied to Ning Yuan, he no longer paid attention to Lao Li who was waiting at the door. He turned over and gently hugged Taotao, asking him in a low voice what was wrong.
“Father seems…” Taotao looked listless, “dead for a while?”
Zhuang Mingxu’s heart skipped a beat. “…What about now?”
“Very weak.”
Zhuang Mingxu thought of what Bai Shu said before about implanting a bomb in his heart, and his heart tightened, “Why didn’t you go back to the space?”
“It happened too fast just now, and my father lost control of the protective jade pendant all of a sudden. If a new father hadn’t appeared, I wouldn’t have been able to go in,” Taotao explained, “but now the protective jade pendant is back on my father.”
I don’t know what happened to Lu Weiyi, but Taotao was obviously affected and he looked very exhausted.
Zhuang Mingxu was afraid of unexpected situations, so he asked him to take out some guns from the space first.
“Hide, we will use it to break out,” Zhuang Mingxu silently signaled to several people.
Lin Mo, Qi Lin and others looked at what appeared in surprise.
“Taotao’s space was not affected,” Zhuang Mingxu explained.
There was a flash of excitement in the eyes of Lin Mo and the others. Having weapons gave them some hope. They immediately used their bodies to block the guns in front of them.
After giving the things, Taotao fell asleep immediately.
Only the occasional rise and fall of his chest confirmed that Zhuang Mingxu was still alive.
Zhuang Mingxu placed Taotao in the arms of Zhuang Aiyi, who was like a frightened bird, and kissed his forehead. “Little daddy is in trouble. Daddy has to find a way to leave here together. Can you stay up and take care of your brother?”
“Okay, Aiyi, don’t be afraid.” Zhuang Aiyi’s eyes were full of vigilance, but he held the small dagger in his boots in his hand and assured.
“Good boy.” Zhuang Mingxu leaned over and kissed him again, then turned around and looked at the weapons Taotao took out with a few others.
Taotao didn’t know the difference between the guns, so Zhuang Mingxu could only signal Lu Weiyi to take out the adjacent items based on the location of the guns in his space.
At this time, the only weapon besides a pistol, a rifle, some bullets, and a bomb.
Zhuang Mingxu looked at the things in front of him, thought for a while, and after taking two guns and some bullets, he directly disassembled the bomb and redistributed and reassembled the components inside.
“What are you going to do?” Lin Mo gestured to the others to hide the remaining guns and asked him.
“I’m going out to scout the terrain. We must break out tonight at the latest,” Zhuang Mingxu said in an unquestionable tone.
“I’ll go with you,” Lin Mo lowered his voice, “I almost joined the special operations forces before, so my skills will definitely be no problem.”
Zhuang Mingxu thought about the people in other rooms. Among the best people, Antonio was called away, Ning Yuan was injured, and Li Zhuang was in a room alone. There was really no better candidate at the moment.
“Let him go, he is indeed the most powerful among us,” Zhou Nan also said.
“Okay, but it will be too obvious if two of us go this way. Let’s ask someone nearby to come over later,” said Zhuang Mingxu.
Lin Mo nodded and said, “Brother Liu is next to us, I’ll talk to him.”
As he spoke, he called out Liu Yang’s name, and then started knocking on the wall.
Those who knew what they were doing were silent for a moment.
Not long after, Zhuang Mingxu prepared the weapons and asked Lin Mo to choose a weapon that suits him, and then the two walked towards the door.
The two of them quietly opened the glass on the door, and then Zhuang Mingxu leaned over and carefully observed the surrounding areas where surveillance cameras might be installed. After making sure there were none, he stretched out his entire arm and used a piece of wire to pry open the lock on the door with one hand and restored it.
The place they were in happened to be the passage between two adjacent venues. The front venue was where the suffering mutants were imprisoned, and the back venue should be where ordinary people lived.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the man’s laughter and the woman’s screams and cries.
The entire aquarium is built in an enclosed manner and the light inside is maintained entirely by electricity. There are no lights on here, and one can only see some unclear shadows relying on the light coming through from the front and back.
After confirming that it was safe, Zhuang Mingxu reopened the door next to him and said, “Just one person can go over and cooperate with them. Try not to let anyone notice that there are fewer people inside. We will be back soon.”
Liu Yang looked around and looked at Xu Sa.
“Change someone else. Lao Li is very impressed by Xu Sa. Who knows if he will come over to tease her?” Zhuang Mingxu said directly. Liu Yang is the only one in this room who can communicate with other rooms and stabilize others at critical moments. If he can’t be replaced, then…
Zhuang Mingxu looked at the Gu Qingyue brothers.
“I’ll go,” said Gu Qingji.
No one had a choice in the situation at this moment. Gu Qingyue held his hand tightly for a moment, then nodded and let go.
“Brother Qingji, give this to the two children,” Lu Xi on the side took out a handful of chocolate candies from his pocket and handed them over, “It’s past lunch time, I don’t know if they will give us anything to eat so that the children won’t go hungry.”
Lu Xi usually earns a good income from his research, and Lu Weiyi loves him very much, so he is always needed for everything. Lu Xi often carries candy energy bars in his pocket, and he will chew them when he is at a loss.
Now when there is no food to eat, it can be used as an emergency. He thinks that as an adult, he can endure it with everyone, but the two children are too young, he himself can’t bear to touch it, so he is thinking about how to pass it to them.
Gu Qingji nodded and quickly moved to the next room.
“Otherwise, I will seduce Lao Li and go over there to check out the situation.” Xu Sa said anxiously when he saw that they were unfamiliar with the environment and did not dare to move even with their weapons.
“Sa…Brother Sa…” Liu Rui immediately shouted from across the room.
“It’s not that serious yet. The area of ??the aquarium is fixed and it’s not that big. We’ll each go in a different direction and come back soon,” Zhuang Mingxu said before locking their room again.
He took another look at the three people in the next room and saw that Ning Yuan had removed the glass and handed him two crystal core guns from inside.
“Dean gave it to me when he came to treat me,” Ning Yuan laughed, “Be careful.”
Zhuang Mingxu gave Lin Mo a hand and pointed in the direction they came from, “This place should be in a circular shape. I saw it when I came here. The entrance is also the exit. You go forward and I go backward, all the way to the exit, and then we will each return here.”
Lin Mo nodded, and nimbly returned to the passage first.
Zhuang Mingxu also walked carefully towards the next location.
Compared to Lin Mo, Zhuang Mingxu, who had been paralyzed for a year and had just recovered, had indeed seen a lot of decline in physical fitness. He was almost discovered several times when he was moving among ordinary people.
Fortunately, they were more focused on the fun in front of them and stopped paying attention if they didn’t notice anything unusual.
Ordinary people live in an area called the Penguin House, except there are no penguins there. Instead, a row of houses are built in a ring using rockery and stones combined with the abilities of psychics.
The water area enclosed in the middle should be reserved for penguins to rest, but there are no penguins now and it is summer, so there is no ice to serve as a passage, so they simply used a few floating piers.
The unclear thing in the middle is connected and cannot be moved too much, but it is also unstable. If you don’t keep the balance well, it is easy to fall into the water.
In the water, there are fish from other pavilions swimming around, looking harmless and pretty.
By the water, several men were suppressing two women. Amid the women’s ear-piercing screams and cries, they kept saying disgusting things and occasionally reached out to take advantage of them.
A short-haired woman was pinned down with half of her body suspended in the air. She struggled and looked at the water surface defensively, “No, let me go, no…you beasts…”
“Haha…are you scared now? You need to be taught a lesson, otherwise you won’t know your own situation and still act like a big shot in front of us.” A man said, and he pushed half of the woman’s body into the water. Then the fish in the water swam over in groups as if attracted by the bait.
