RPAGF Chapter 140 Fierce Pounce
Chapter 140 Fierce Pounce
The invisible arrows merged in mid-air and shot out at an astonishing speed, the enormous impact piercing the wings of the giant falcon.
The falcon let out a painful cry, lost its balance, and plummeted downwards. Its eyes were fierce as it flapped its wings again and flew away, fleeing the battle.
After the two strange beasts left, the people who had been affected gradually regained consciousness, with only a small number remaining unconscious.
"Are there any medical staff still conscious in the base?" Chen Mingzhang turned to ask Zhu Lei.
"Yes," Zhu Lei replied truthfully.
"Let them see how these people are doing now."
Chen Mingzhang pointed to the unconscious people, most of whom were ordinary people. While those with superpowers could use their abilities to resist, the impact on ordinary people was much greater.
Zhu Lei found several unaffected medical staff to examine the unconscious people and found that they were just in a coma and would be fine after a day of rest.
However, if the mutated ape hadn't been driven away in time, and this situation had continued for a while longer, these people might have died of excitement.
Stimulating the secretion of hormones in the brain, ultimately leading to death from pleasure, is truly... an unbelievable superpower.
The superhuman who had conducted the investigation stood before Chen Mingzhang with deep remorse. "I'm sorry, Captain. This was my mistake. I failed to detect its superpower, which has put the base in crisis."
Even now, he still doesn't understand what kind of superpower this is. Is it a mental superpower? He's not sure, but why wasn't he affected by it twice?
Could it be... that he's awakened a cheat ability?!
Chen Mingzhang glanced at his subordinate, who was questioning his existence. He remembered that the man was only eighteen or nineteen years old and had just started university.
He patted the other person on the shoulder, "It's not your fault, don't take it to heart, it's just that this ability is special."
"What's so special about it?" Zheng Lin asked, unsure.
At this point, he couldn't hide it. Slightly uncomfortable under everyone's gaze, Chen Mingzhang spoke up, "Psychic abilities can induce pleasant emotions, but... it should only work on specific groups of people."
"What specific group of people? Adults?" Zheng Lin pressed.
“No, Captain Zhu and I are both adults,” the one in charge of the investigation said.
Lei Yangyu nodded, "I'm an adult too, and it didn't affect me. Captain Zhu is about the same age as me, and he's fine too."
Zhu Lei: "..."
At times like this, I don't want to be dragged along.
Chen Mingzhang calmed down and regained his usual expression. "Well, his superpower should only affect people who have had sexual intercourse."
Lei Yangyu, who had been trying to analyze the reasons, and the detective with superpowers who thought he had a cheat code, both fell into deep thought.
Zhu Lei silently retreated. He said that people shouldn't be so curious. Look, now everyone in the base knows. How embarrassing.
The atmosphere inside the base was filled with gossip and awkwardness.
At this moment, only Zheng Lin's mind went blank. After another mental blank, he subconsciously grasped the key point and asked, "So, Brother Mingzhang, why are you and my sister also affected?"
Upon hearing this, the fear of being attacked by the alien beast was forgotten, and the entire base was filled with a sense of urgency.
Facing hundreds of gazes, Chen Mingzhang remained unfazed. "I've already told you about the superpower. Try to avoid it if you encounter it in the future. Zhu Lei, select a few people from those who are unaffected by this superpower to be guards at the base entrance."
"Yes!" Upon receiving the order, Zhu Lei immediately went to make a selection, and considering strength, he included Lei Yangyu among them.
Lei Yangyu had mixed feelings about this. It would be good to join the guards, as it would be equivalent to being accepted by the Donggu Base, but... his public persona had completely collapsed.
After returning to his office, Chen Mingzhang glanced at Zheng Mu, who was crouching in a corner, covering her face and looking sullen. He felt helpless yet amused, wondering how long she planned to keep it a secret.
Before he could say anything, the power ring activated, and Lu Yize appeared on it. He asked directly, "The alien beasts are attacking?"
"Yes, but it should only be the first batch of probes. There haven't been any major moves yet. There are two Tier 3 beasts that have come: a wind-type falcon and a mutated black gorilla that has just entered Tier 3."
Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Lu Yize noticed Chen Mingzhang's expression was off. "What kind of superpower does that chimpanzee have? What are the casualties among your base personnel?"
Chen Mingzhang didn't mince words and spoke in a businesslike manner, "Everyone in the base is fine and alive. It's just that this chimpanzee's ability is quite difficult to deal with. You and Jiang Yue need to be careful not to be restrained by it."
"What kind of power?"
Lu Yize frowned. What kind of superpower could both suppress spatial superpowers and control mental superpowers?
Chen Mingzhang didn't hide anything and shared his speculation. Upon hearing about this superpower, Lu Yize was speechless. It was actually this superpower.
He had heard about it once in his previous life. At that time, these strange beasts did not migrate in their direction, so the incident happened in Xiyue. He heard that when the strange beasts appeared here, they dealt a fatal blow to Xiyue.
"This superpower has an effect that suppresses existing superpowers. The reason I couldn't kill those two beasts on the spot was also due to the influence of this superpower." A trace of regret flashed in Chen Mingzhang's eyes.
Lu Yize wasn't surprised, after all, he had previously communicated with Chen Mingzhang and could see a woman's hand helping to hand things over in the middle of the night.
Lu Yize glanced at Jiang Yue, who was still advancing in her cultivation. Chen Mingzhang, seeing that he was absent-minded, reminded him seriously again, "Remember to tell the others that if they encounter that mutated gorilla, it's best to kill it on the spot before it activates its powers."
Lu Yize turned his gaze away, remained silent for a moment, and then agreed.
He then pointed his ability ring at Jiang Yue, who was sitting on the bed, and asked, "Jiang Yue's advancement has taken two whole days and is still not finished. Is there any danger?"
Chen Mingzhang checked on Jiang Yue's condition and said, "Her overall ability is functioning smoothly, and there are no abnormalities in the airflow around her. She should be fine."
Hearing that what he said matched his own judgment, Lu Yize's worries still lingered. "He hasn't been awake for two whole days. Do you guys have a habit of keeping records?"
After reviewing the records, Chen Mingzhang speculated, "It's possible that it's influenced by memories from when we were human. Research at the Donggu Base has found that zombies regain some of their human instincts and memories with each advancement."
“Like the zombie king before, he was affected by his memories as a human at the last critical moment. The reason why Jiang Yue was able to access his memories before was because he was at the peak of the third tier and was about to upgrade.”
Hearing Chen Mingzhang's explanation, Lu Yize finally felt relieved and said, "Thanks."
"No need, you should prepare in advance. We can't stop those sea monsters here, so it's up to you now."
"it is good."
After hanging up the communication, Lu Yize sat down next to Jiang Yue, closed his eyes, and released his mental energy to investigate the situation of the sea monsters outside the base.
But the moment he closed his eyes, Jiang Yue opened her completely black pupils and was immediately attracted by the smell of food around her. She stiffly turned her head, uncontrollably baring her fangs, and then pounced forward.
