Successive failures led Gao Chu to decide to go all in, to fight for it.
He then loudly summoned his subordinates, intending to use their numerical advantage to fight a decisive battle with their backs to the river.
"Stop shouting, they're all here!"
Gao Chu shouted for a long time, but no one appeared. Ji Shiyou picked his ears.
He winked at the side, and Ba Jiu shook a bag in his hand.
The sound of crystal cores colliding came from inside, and the bag was bulging, appearing to hold several hundred.
Gao Chu instantly understood that his subordinates, the ability users, had all been killed by Ba Jiu and Ji Shiyou.
Wo Yucheng, receiving Gao Chu's signal, took the bald man to deal with Ji Shiyou and Ba Jiu.
Because Gao Chu had already discussed with him beforehand, using this opportunity to kill the ordinary people in the living area as well.
To avoid wasting the base's resources, Wo Yucheng brought all the ability users in the base.
However, Ming Yue had already made arrangements. She had left Ji Shiyou and the other alone specifically to protect Dr. You Hen in the living area.
The ability levels of the two were the highest in the team, especially Ba Jiu, who was already a Level Nine Zombie King.
However, at his level, he had returned to simplicity, appearing like an harmless ordinary little boy.
Facing the ability users who had surrounded the living area, Ba Jiu did not hold back. Almost all the ability users died at Ba Jiu's hands.
Ji Shiyou had been protecting You Hen and the ordinary people in front of him to prevent any accidents.
Having been with the Ming Yue team for a long time, Ba Jiu had developed a habit of collecting crystal cores whenever he killed zombies or ability users, not letting even the low-level ones go.
In fact, at his level, these crystal cores were of no use to him, but others could use them, and Shi Henian's research also required crystal cores.
Little Ba Jiu, a zombie king, had learned to live frugally for the sake of the team, worrying himself sick.
After killing all the ability users in the base in the living area, they escorted Dr. You Hen and the other ordinary people to the work area.
Ji Shiyou was worried about the other members of the Ming Yue team and wanted to rendezvous with them, but found that the work area had already entered a state of preparation.
Ming Yue and the others were trapped by Gao Chu in a material conversion laser. Dr. You Hen immediately arranged for the ordinary people to control the various mechanisms of the Thunder Base in turns.
It turned out that those ordinary people were all research personnel from the laboratory, handpicked by Dr. You Hen.
They were all highly educated, highly intelligent elites from various fields.
It could be said that the Thunder Base was built by them together, so after a few minutes.
When everyone returned, all the mechanisms had been controlled by them, and Ming Yue and the others had also broken free.
"You're called an idiot and you don't admit it. You clearly had a good hand, and you played it poorly!"
The situation was already clear. Qing Ying kicked Gao Chu, sending him flying towards Ming Yue and the others.
She was pushing Gao Chu out as a shield, hoping to block Ming Yue and the others to buy herself time.
She knew in her heart that the tide had turned and she should leave immediately.
Otherwise, she might be trapped here, so she made a decisive move and abandoned Gao Chu.
The tragic Gao Chu understood as soon as he was kicked out that he had been abandoned.
But he didn't have time to settle accounts with Qing Ying. His strong survival instinct calmed him down.
After all, he was a Level Five Lightning ability user. He mobilized all his abilities, and with a forceful push of his right hand in the air, a purple lightning bolt as thick as a bucket shot towards Ming Yue and the others.
Among the Ming Yue team, the highest-level Ji Shiyou and Ba Jiu were too far away to block.
The most suitable element to deal with lightning ability was earth, but Gong Que, as an earth ability user, was only Level Three.
Moreover, the Thunder Base was located inside a mountain, with all metal supports, and even the ground of the work area was cast from metal.
Under Gao Chu's lightning ability, Ming Yue and the others had no way to evade. Ming Yue wanted to summon the Thunderclap Sword to counter lightning with lightning.
But it might cause a chain reaction and destroy the base, so she hesitated.
Just then, the walls of the entire work area made a crackling sound.
The lightning bolt that shot towards them turned in mid-air and was directly absorbed by the wall, turning into nothingness.
Immediately afterward, Gao Chu, the source of the lightning, suddenly flew into the air and was also sucked in.
A flash of sparks, and a pungent smell of burnt flesh filled the air. Looking at Gao Chu on the wall, he had already turned into charcoal.
"Captain Ming Yue, you are guests. Please rest for a while. We will handle the domestic affairs of our Thunder Base ourselves."
You Hen said loudly to Ming Yue. The people behind him had all disappeared, and he didn't know where they had gone.
Ming Yue instantly understood that it was likely those ordinary people who had neutralized the lightning and dealt with Gao Chu.
Hearing Dr. You Hen's confident words, the members of the Ming Yue team felt only one thing: ordinary people could also be crazy.
Since Dr. You Hen said so, Ming Yue and the others retreated to the side, but their eyes were always on Qing Ying.
This woman had many tricks and was difficult to deal with, so they needed to be vigilant at all times.
If You Hen and the others were defeated, they would intervene, and this time they would definitely not let her escape.
"Overestimating yourself."
Qing Ying also heard Dr. You Hen's words and felt a little relieved when she saw Ming Yue and the others retreating to the side.
As long as Ming Yue didn't make a move, she didn't care about those ordinary people.
If she escaped now, Ming Yue and the others would be watching and would surely stop her.
Only by creating chaos could she take the opportunity to escape. So, with a thought, a bronze ancient mirror appeared in her hand, and she injected her magic power into it.
The entire work area was immediately swept by strong winds, making it impossible for everyone to open their eyes. It was her magic treasure from her spatial dimension, the Hurricane Mirror.
Now that she was surrounded by enemies and fighting alone, Qing Ying took out the Hurricane Mirror and unleashed strong winds to cover her tracks.
This way, she could use the cover of the strong winds to hide her figure and avoid sneak attacks.
With the Hurricane Mirror in hand, she was unaffected by the strong winds and could seize the opportunity to attack.
If there was an accident, she could also escape directly under the cover of the strong winds.
However, her supposedly brilliant tactic was shattered in less than a minute.
Because the ceiling of the work area opened to both sides, revealing a huge ventilation hole.
It emitted a powerful suction force, directly drawing away the raging winds. The intensity and speed were so great that the Hurricane Mirror's generation speed could not keep up with the suction speed.
Qing Ying held the mirror, maintaining a strange posture, and looked at the calm work area.
She was seen bending over, with one leg raised, looking very comical.
She had originally intended to use the cover of the strong winds to approach Dr. You Hen and launch a sneak attack.
However, the Hurricane Mirror lost its effect, her whereabouts were exposed, and her sneaky appearance looked somewhat vulgar.
"Qing Ying, you came to my Thunder Base, and I did not mistreat you.
Moreover, I had no prior contact with you, nor any grievances. Why did you collude with Gao Chu to harm me?"
Dr. You Hen questioned Qing Ying loudly. He couldn't understand why she had specifically come to the Thunder Base to harm him when they had no enmity.
At this moment, a round disk had appeared under Dr. You Hen's feet at some point, and he stood on it, exuding an imposing aura.
"Blame your good student. I don't need to explain my actions to you.
A mere ordinary person dares to question me, are you looking for death?"
Qing Ying, whose sneak attack had failed, was somewhat enraged. Her rebirth was her biggest secret.
She could not reveal it, so she did not explain. She directly replaced the Hurricane Mirror in her hand with a purple-gold hammer.
After injecting her magic power, she directly attacked You Hen, which startled Ming Yue and the others.
