Chapter 143 Rescue
Miss Long? A smiling, beautiful face flashed through Long Yuanxi's mind. Unfortunately, she didn't even get a proper conversation with her after returning, as she had to leave in a hurry because of her mission.
That bastard An Xiong actually set a trap during the mission.
And that bastard Gu Jing, I never expected that after so many years, he would act like a completely different person and actually try to kill me.
Seeing that Long Yuanchen remained silent, Qiu Ling comforted him, "Second Brother Long, don't worry. The mutated plants after the apocalypse are particularly amazing. Maybe there are plants that can help you restore your superpowers."
"When Sister Long arrives, I'll ask around to see if there are any more of these green pills."
"What do you want to ask?" Long Yangyang heard Qiu Ling's words as soon as she arrived.
“Sister Long,” Qiu Ling jumped up happily when she heard the familiar voice, “You’re back! Are you alright? I heard that this research institute is full of bad guys.”
"I'm fine. The big bad guy has been driven away. I even brought Lingling a gift." Long Yangyang took out the level eight mental crystal core she got from killing the puppet worm. "Here you go. Lingling, go home and cultivate hard. You'll be a level seven ability user soon."
"Thank you, Sister Long." Qiu Ling accepted the crystal core with a look of appreciation, touched it, and carefully put it into her pocket.
"Second Brother." Long Yangyang looked at the handsome man in front of her who resembled her in three ways. Seeing that he had lost a lot of weight, she felt a dull pain in her heart, unsure whether it was her own emotion or the original owner's.
"Yangyang, your second brother is alright." Long Yuanxi's warm smile was the response to Long Yangyang.
“Yuanxi, I…” When Gu Jing saw Long Yuanxi again, he didn’t dare to look her in the eye. Although it wasn’t his intention, Yuanxi and the others had indeed been captured by him.
If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have lost my crystal core.
"Gu Jing," Long Yuanxi quickly pulled Long Yangyang behind him, looking at Gu Jing warily. He hadn't forgotten what Gu Jing had done to them. "What are you doing here? What do you want to do to my sister?"
"Yuanxi, I'm sorry, it was your sister who saved me. As for what happened before..." Gu Jing wanted to explain, but after opening his mouth, he gave up. What good would it do to explain? It wouldn't erase the mistakes he had made.
He turned his knife on his former classmates and brothers, and many of his comrades died at his hands.
“Now is not the time to explain these things. Yuanxi, are there any other people who have been arrested? You need treatment,” Fu Muyu said.
“No, there were over three hundred people here when we were first captured, but now only we are left. The others either died after their crystal cores were extracted, or they submitted to the research institute and became its lackeys,” said a resolute man in a wheelchair in the crowd.
"You are... Qian Bin? The one from the Luming Ability Group?" (Appears in Chapter 74) Long Yangyang did not expect to meet this person here. The fact that he risked his life to protect his brothers in the ability group left a deep impression on Long Yangyang.
This person seemed much more fragile than when they first arrived at the base, as if he were about to die at any moment.
"Yes, Miss Long still remembers me." Qian Bin forced a smile, as if he wanted to smile at Long Yangyang and the others.
"Where is your leader?" Long Yangyang remembered that although their superpowered group attacked her from the beginning, their purpose was to treat Qian Bin, so they were a good group.
“They’re dead. The regimental commander and his wife are both dead.” Qian Bin smiled sadly, his eyes filled with hatred that ran deep in his bones.
Long Yangyang was shocked by the hatred in the other person's eyes. "Well, let me take you away first. If you want revenge, you need to recover your health first. It's not like a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years."
“Miss Long is right.” Qian Bin’s gaze fell on the chain on his hand. It was this thing that prevented him from even self-destructing his crystal core to perish together with the enemy.
“Yangyang, Kunkun has brought Liqin and Miaomiao back,” Fu Muyu said. These people need to be treated as soon as possible. “Take everyone back first.”
"What about you?" Judging from his tone, it didn't seem like he planned to go with them.
"Didn't you say you'd use your spatial abilities to extract the puppet worm from Gu Jing's mind?" Fu Muyu rubbed Long Yangyang's head. The research institute's strength was unpredictable. They had managed to turn this place into a complete mess today, so they had to find a way to make it even more chaotic.
"Kun Kun and I will try to remove the puppet worms from the minds of the other test subjects." Yang Yang dislikes worms, and with Kun Kun around, he didn't want Yang Yang to do something she didn't like.
Even though this is very useful to them now.
“Fu Muyu, the puppet worm in my mind is a mutated puppet worm, which is different from the puppet worm in the researcher’s mind.”
The puppet worms in their minds were primarily for controlling the researchers to serve An Xiong. The puppet worms in my mind, besides being used for control, were also for cultivating high-level transparent crystal cores.
"Mutant puppet worms are hard to come by. Only special ability users of level seven or above can serve as hosts for mutant puppet worms. While controlling the host, they can also absorb the host's ability to form a special ability crystal core."
"This is also why the research institute has been capturing special ability users on a large scale and extracting their crystal cores for transplantation."
"So, An Xiong's special ability is the fusion ability that Yue Yao mentioned, which combines the special insectoid race?" Long Yangyang speculated.
Yueyao looked serious. "It's pretty close. If that's the case, then besides being wary of the research institute, we also need to be wary of the Zerg."
Long Yangyang seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that no mutated insects had been found at the Qingdu base. "Second brother, when you went to other bases, did you find any flies, mosquitoes, or other insects?"
"We didn't find any flies or mosquitoes, but the Luxi Base that asked us for help, we just dealt with the zombie siege and then we encountered a locust plague. Those locusts were as big as an adult's fist, and they ate everything. They ate most of the entire Luxi Base."
Long Yuanxi spoke of the locust plague with lingering fear, "When we came back, we conveyed to the base the other party's request to exchange crystal cores for food, but we don't know the base's attitude yet."
“Where we live, the Zerg are very obedient. Lower-level Zerg unconditionally obey the orders of higher-level Zerg,” Yueyao said. “I don’t know if the mutated Zerg will be like the Zerg, but it’s very strange that there isn’t a single Zerg in our base.”
I think there's a high probability that Anxiong will fuse with the advanced Zerg.
"Yueyao, do you have any insecticide?" Long Yangyang asked.
“Yangyang, the Zerg are very powerful where we are. We kill them using superpowers and mechs.” Yueyao said with some difficulty, “We don’t have insecticide.”
"However, you could try using the mutated plants and animals to research the formula for your pre-apocalyptic insecticide; it might be useful against the mutated insects."
