"Stop, you crazy woman. Why don't you look at where you are …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang and Zhuo Mingyue had never spoken gentle words, let alone sweet nothings. After Zhang Xiaoqiang called her a crazy woman, Zhuo Mingyue didn't get even angrier. Instead, she was slightly startled and immediately restrained the overflowing spiritual shock wave. Song Kunhai was still moaning on the ground, but Honey jumped up from the ground and screamed.
Ever since Honey was plotted against, she felt that the power in her body had been restrained. It was just a restraint, not a true deprivation. This feeling was very uncomfortable. It was like having a large amount of money in your hands and wanting to use it urgently, but then being told by the bank that because the information had been lost, the client's information had to be reorganized, and the recovery time was indefinite.
Although Zhuo Mingyue's spiritual shock wave wasn't intentional, it wasn't something an ordinary person could withstand. Honey felt like she was a small fish out of water, and her whole body was surrounded by suffocation and oppression.
Honey wasn't an ordinary person. There was an oppressive force hidden in her body. When she was oppressed by the outside world, this force would become restless. The greater the influence of the external force, the greater the rebound in her body. When it reached a critical point, Honey suddenly felt that the lingering feeling of restraint had been released. It was just that the spiritual wave emitted by Zhuo Mingyue was too strong, so strong that even though she could release her power, she still couldn't withstand it.
The moment Zhuo Mingyue restrained the overflowing energy, Song Kunhai didn't feel anything, but Honey jumped up and looked at her hands in horror. Just as Zhang Xiaoqiang was looking at Song Kunhai to see if there was anything wrong, she suddenly waved her hands towards the ground.
The place the three of them were in was the core command center of the base. In addition to all kinds of unknown instruments and many display screens, the large command center's walls, doors, and even the ground were all made of metal. It could be said that this place was even sturdier than the laboratory that Zhuo Mingyue was imprisoned in. The moment Honey's hands waved down, two light cyan crescent arcs flashed. Then, the thick metal floor on the ground split open like a piece of cloth.
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at Xiang Mi 'er as if he had seen a ghost. This was the first time he had seen Xiang Mi use her ability. He had never thought that an inconspicuous little girl like Xiang Mi could actually cut open the steel floor so easily. Moreover, it was the kind of metal floor that could withstand the bombardment of rockets.
When he saw the same surprised look on Honey's face, he couldn't figure out what was going on. Honey's wind blades already had color, and it was also the first time that Zhang Xiaoqiang had seen a real ability that didn't rely on any medium.
"Cough cough cough … I'm fine … I'm fine …"
Song Kunhai finally crawled up from the ground. He was terrified of Zhuo Mingyue. He knew what was good and bad. As one of the few officers in the base, he had come into contact with evolvers many times. The Night Wolf Brigade's resources were provided by him. Ordinary evolvers would not have made no moves and would not have made him hover between life and death for no reason.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't pay attention to Song Kunhai. He just looked at Xiang Mi 'er. Zhuo Mingyue also frowned and looked at Xiang Mi' er.
She then asked, "Mi 'er, tell me honestly. Did you hide your ability from me before?"
Hearing this, Xiang Mi 'er's face suddenly turned pale. She looked at Zhuo Mingyue while trembling. She had just recovered her ability, but Zhuo Mingyue could still suppress her. Now that she had seen how terrifying Zhuo Mingyue was, she was even more afraid of Zhuo Mingyue than before.
"I don't know what's wrong?
After taking the deprivation drug, there seems to be something accumulating inside my body. I feel like I'm a balloon filled with hydrogen that can explode at any time. Just now, I don't know why, but when the pressure exploded, I felt that my wind blades had increased … "
There was one more thing that Xiang Mi 'er didn't say. Previously, she could only use three large wind blades. Every time she used it, she would feel weak. After using it three times, she would be in an extreme state for a short period of time. However, this time, she still felt that her body was full, as if nothing had happened. She wondered if she could use it more than ten times.
Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly guessed the reason. The problem was still with the deprivation drug. According to Xiang Mi 'er's description, the deprivation drug didn't seem to take away one's ability. Instead, it suppressed it inside the body. It was like a closed container that was constantly pressurized. When the container couldn't bear it anymore, there would be two possibilities. One was to break the lid and greatly increase the container's capacity, and the other was to blow the container into pieces.
Xiang Mi 'er was able to break free from the deprivation drug because of Zhuo Mingyue's external pressure. Perhaps Ma Ruibo himself didn't think that the deprivation drug he had developed would have such an effect. Regarding this, Zhang Xiaoqiang became greedy for Ma Ruibo's research results. With this thing, he might be able to use it on himself. Perhaps … this was an opportunity to increase the ability of evolvers on a large scale. They didn't need to break through on the line between life and death, nor did they need to eat a large amount of special fruits and vegetables. They also didn't need to use the colloidal bodies of mutant beasts. All they needed was to suppress their physical ability for a short period of time and break through the shackles that restricted their ability.
"This is a good thing for Xiang Mi 'er. Don't worry about it anymore. Did you just say a child?
What's the matter with children? "
Zhang Xiaoqiang deliberately diverted the topic of Xiang Mi 'er's breakthrough. This issue was too important, and Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want others to share this secret with him. Instead, he remembered that Zhuo Mingyue had mentioned children. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen any children in Zhuo Mingyue's camp.
Zhuo Mingyue was originally angry and wanted to refute Zhang Xiaoqiang and ridicule him. She didn't know why, but when she thought of the pure eyes of the little survivors she had hidden in the mountains, her heart softened. She couldn't help but explain, "The people I control are all dirty and complicated adults. They only have themselves in their hearts and don't care about the lives of others. In order to survive, they can kill their own kind for a moldy biscuit. I definitely have to control these kinds of people. Otherwise, I don't want to worry about trivial things every day.
There are also some children who aren't as complicated as the adults. They are easy to take care of. As long as they are given food, they are as cute as little pets. I hid them in the mountains near the camp and had hundreds of pregnant women and newborns take care of them. There are about 500-600 of them.
I attacked New Era's camp because I wanted to expand my forces and obtain some weapons and ammunition. Most importantly, New Era's stockpiled food. My people don't know how to farm and I don't have the time to let them slowly experiment, so I took them from New Era … "
Zhuo Mingyue said it indifferently, but Zhang Xiaoqiang was slightly moved. Zhuo Mingyue had made the same choice as him in some matters. Taking care of children was not simple, the investment was not proportional to the rewards. Or rather, there was no income and it was purely an investment. From this point, Zhuo Mingyue's decision was exactly the same as the one he had made in the colony. In this cruel post-apocalyptic world, even a great demon could make such a move. It was enough to make Zhang Xiaoqiang's killing intent and hostility towards him disappear.
"You can migrate these children and women here. There will be a good environment and sufficient nutrition, allowing them to grow into useful people …"
When Zhang Xiaoqiang said this, Zhuo Mingyue's heart softened. The man in front of her still had some conscience. To Zhuo Mingyue, she only cared about the children and the maids beside her. The thoughts of others disgusted her, they were only worthy of being controlled by her like puppets.
"Look, it's exploding …"
Just as Zhuo Mingyue and Zhang Xiao Qiang were staring at each other, not knowing what to say, Song Kunhai suddenly pointed at the screen and shouted. There was no sound coming from the screen. Zhang Xiao Qiang turned his head to look, and all he could see was a cloud of dust and smoke. Countless zombies were flying in the air, and large amounts of sand and dirt shot up into the sky like a fountain. Following that, thick smoke filled the entire screen. Other than the flying zombie limbs and sand and rocks, there was nothing else to be seen.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang understood that the final battle had begun. The vanguard of the zombies had at least 30,000 zombies. To fill up this 7-8 km wide valley, 30,000 was the minimum number.
