Chapter 421: The Great Array Is Reliable
I blinked hard and pressed down the sourness in my eyes. Nini and Cao Baoyang were at the age of playing and making fun.
If there is no disaster, children of their age will be carefree all day long and just think about what gifts they will receive on their birthday.
Now their requests are so low that I can't find any verbal comfort or encouragement, so I can only touch the top of their heads gently.
At this time, A Ying hurriedly ran in and said that Zhou Li had a team of people approaching Zuoba's city, and the person who led the team was Li Jixian.
He still chased after him!
I immediately asked A Ying to concentrate everyone. It would be no good for us to disperse our strength, and we no longer have an advantage in terms of number of people.
Everyone gathered in the restaurant, and everyone who turned into corpses was on the periphery. They protected the uncorrupted people. Their recovery ability was stronger than that of humans, so that they could at least minimize casualties.
The restaurant has a small space and everyone will not be disbanded. The ancient formation is operating normally, and Li Jixian leads people to stand outside the formation.
Zhou Li immediately reported the situation outside to us. Li Jixian's men tried several times with a hot weapon, trying to forcibly destroy the formation.
The formation was bombed by shells a few times, but it was still undamaged, which gave us a little confidence.
The ancient formation withstood five rounds of weapon attacks. When Li Jixian saw that the conventional weapons were useless, he called his subordinates to take another thing.
Zhou Li said that the thing didn't look like a weapon, but it was definitely not their superpowers. Li Jixian opened a box.
A green fog immediately flew out of the box, and Zhou Li then corrected that it was not fog, but a small green bug.
The little bugs rushed to the formation in a swarm, trying to eat the formation. Zhou Li explained this and suddenly opened his eyes and showed a surprised expression.
His expression changed and touched the hearts of all of us, at least I felt tighter and thought something was wrong.
But after being surprised, Zhou Li grinned and said that the insects turned into ashes before they even touched the formation, and Li Jixian's face also became very gloomy.
Li Jixian used to feel cheerful, but through a brief contact in Bell City, I think he is definitely not as sunny as it seems.
After a while, Li Jixian's voice was transmitted into the array through the loudspeaker. He said that as long as we hand over the life source of the metal vines, both sides would not violate the river.
I looked at Long Tao, hoping that he had digested all the life source. Even if Li Jixian could break in, he would not be able to take it away.
Long Tao felt my gaze and made a gesture of ok at me, then he pointed at his feet and curled his lips slightly.
Meilin stood beside him and saw his smirk, and suddenly turned into starry eyes.
I quickly looked away. If I laughed out loud in such a tense occasion, it would be very destructive to the atmosphere. Look at Meilin's attitude, it would be difficult for Long Tao to get rid of this fan.
"You are on standby, I'll go out and talk to him." I put a mental protective cover on everyone. Even if the formation fails, Li Jixian can't kill all of us in seconds.
"I'll go with you." Hu Tao took a step and was stopped by me.
"Don't move, keep in formation!" I ordered without refutation.
Hu Tao is a zombie. If he goes out with me, there will be gaps in the circle of protecting ordinary psychics.
"Bring me with me." Shangguan Li gently pushed away Zheng who was blocking him, with his eyes confident and calm.
Shangguan Li's mind-reading ability can indeed help. I nodded and asked others to protect and guard him, and took Shangguan to see Li Jixian.
Teleported from the restaurant to the edge of the formation, Li Jixian could not see the situation inside from the outside, and the formation could invisible everything inside the formation.
However, Li Jixian had known about the existence of Zuobar City for a long time, and the invisible function of the formation could not deceive him.
It is even more suspicious that a city disappears inexplicably, so Li Jixian is so sure that we are inside.
"Commissioner Li, I'm sorry, the life source of the metal vine... I can't give it to you." Shangguan Li and I stood in front of Li Jixian, and there was a formation barrier between us.
You can see the situation outside from the inside, but people outside can’t see the inside, but the two sides can have a conversation.
"Miss Sang, I know that the source of life is obtained by you based on your ability. I don't want it. This way, I can get something to exchange with you."
"Oh? What is as precious as the source of life?"
“A research material.”
After hearing this, Shangguan Li suddenly frowned and said two words in his mouth: Gu Team.
"A research data? Haha, the source of life is a ready-made treasure that can be absorbed by taking it. Give me a data, and I have to spend time and manpower to research it myself. Do you think it's worth it?"
"Of course it's not ordinary research materials, and you don't need to spend time and manpower. Someone has already studied them. This material is just a ready-made result."
"result?"
"Yes, Gu Yu, Captain Gu, you know him, and you are very familiar with him." Li Jixian seemed to be in control of the overall situation, and his eyes seemed to see through everything.
Could it be that Li Jixian has been monitoring us, and we knew from the time we entered the grassland that Gu Yu and I were together?
"Tsk~ I don't seem to know him well. I haven't seen him since I left the temporary command post."
My conversation with Li Jixian was almost all lies. Only lies could allow him to draw out the information in his memory to distinguish the truth from the false.
Shangguan Li stared at Li Jixian without blinking. As long as a thought flashed through Li Jixian's mind, Shangguan Li could capture it.
"Miss Sang, we are wise and don't say secret words. Don't you want to know what Gu Yu has experienced in that private experimental center?"
Even though I was mentally prepared when Shangguan Li reminded me, my heart still trembled when he heard Li Jixian say the words "Private Experimental Center".
"No matter what he has experienced, it is a thing of the past. He is very good now and there is no need to re-report the old things." This is my truth, it was an unpleasant experience. I don't want to dig it out unless I had to.
Seeing that I was not in the air, Li Jixian turned his back on me instantly: "He'd better not come out."
After saying that, Li Jixian smiled coldly, and it was full of threat, but this also shows that he had no choice but to take the ancient formation. As long as we didn't go out, he would not hurt us.
Li Jixian took people away, and I immediately asked Shangguan Li: "What did he think of?"
"The life source of metal vines is very important to him. He has a major project waiting to use this thing. He has information about the ancient team, and... it records the fatal weaknesses of the ancient team."
"Did you read out what weakness?"
"No, but I know where their camp is."
"How are their strength?"
Shangguan Li shook his head: "He has never thought about this."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Li Jixian and I had a few conversations. Shangguan Li had limited information to read. I asked: "Did you think of a solution to the task in Xindu?"
"It's more risky."
"Speak and listen."
"We have no way to fight against space abilities. Since we cannot break from the outside, we can only find a way from the inside." Shangguan Li sighed helplessly: "Maybe I can read its loopholes in the guard's mind."
"It's true to be risky, and the chance of success is very small. You must talk to the guards, you..." I wanted to say something but stopped. My worries at this moment were that Shangguan Li should have thought of it when he took the initiative to apply to join the mission.
There may be people in Xindu who don’t know him now, but everything is in case. Moreover, the Song family is in power now. Once Shangguan Li’s identity is recognized, the consequences may be two extremes.
The Song family may ignore his identity as the abandoned son of the Shangguan family and regard him as a passerby. They may be concerned about his Shangguan surname and would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.
When Mr. Shangguan passed away, Shangguan Mo lost power, and most of Shangguan Qing defected to the Song family. It is hard to say how the other Shangguan family members would treat this abandoned son who suddenly appeared.
Therefore, Shangguan Li's appearance in Xindu can indeed be called a risk.
"Can't your ability be read remotely?"
Many people in the small town have upgraded their superpowers. They have been recuperating for nearly a year, but they have eaten a lot of mutant beasts. Shangguan Li should have advanced.
"No, but give me enough time to read the other person's subconscious thoughts."
I nodded silently. It seemed that Shangguan Li's superpowers had improved, but they were just showing up to a deeper level.
Although we feel that Shangguan Li said that the method was risky, we have no better way yet, but this matter will be decided by Gu Yu when he wakes up.
"Sang Rou, do you really want to go back to Jingzhen alone?" Shangguan Li asked worriedly.
He walked back with me, but I didn't use the teleported egg, so I just had time to talk to him.
"It would be much easier if I go to kill someone and set fire. Unfortunately, I'm going to save someone. There is no way, and I have to do it if I don't."
"How sure are you?"
"Five or five."
After the superpowers were advanced, the effective attack range of my mental power was almost the same as that thing. In addition to the spheres that appeared in the sea of consciousness, they increased the degree of mental power produced by the sea of consciousness.
But even so, I dare not promise. After all, I did not test the limit of that thing, and I don’t know if it is also a sea of consciousness.
"When will you come out? Should you practice again?"
"If you don't practice anymore, practice for one more day, the people over there will be more danger."
Besides, we have all destroyed the big bosses nearby, and beating small fish and shrimps has no help to my superpowers.
It was a waste of time to look for bosses everywhere, so I decided to come out when Gu Yu woke up.
I suddenly remembered that someone might be able to help Shangguan Li, so I said, "Don't you have a sister named Shangguan Ling? Can she help you?"
On the black market, I saw this Shangguan Ling, and I could tell that she was a strong woman and her status in the Shangguan family was definitely not low.
"Since I left Xindu, I have cut off contact with her. Besides, she has always had her own ambitions. My brothers have to settle the score clearly and ask her to help, and she will definitely make the conditions."
"Tsk tsk~ In this way, you are simply a strange creature from the Shangguan family."
"Who said no?" Shangguan Li shook his head and smiled bitterly. When he left Xindu, no one went to see him off. Now he wanted to find a relative to help, but he couldn't count on him.
