Chapter 112 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick
It is said that where there is a sleeping dragon, there must be a phoenix chick.
Fan Jian wanted to maintain the serious atmosphere, but he was a seafood lover.
Despite the fear, I couldn't help but swallow hard when I saw these giant lobsters and crabs.
"This...this should be edible, right? If we each eat two, could we solve this ocean crisis?"
Zhang Wenjing also rationally analyzed, "It shouldn't be possible, the number of seafood is probably greater than the number of people."
"And almost all of these marine creatures have mutated, which means they all have Tier 1?"
"If there are so many Tier 1 creatures, it means that creatures far superior to the mutated giant deer, perhaps Tier 5 or Tier 6, may have already appeared on the seabed?"
"Big fish eat little fish, little fish eat shrimp, and they're probably in complete chaos in the deep sea by now."
Fan Jian gasped after hearing this. "If it's an orca, or whales, those already large marine creatures, mutating again, wouldn't that... well, it's a recipe for disaster."
"They can't stay away from water, right? They shouldn't be able to, can they?" Xian Wenrui started to panic; he wanted to see his parents one more time!
Sheng Xue knew how to stab someone in the back. "You should be able to leave now. You can't think about this world with ordinary thinking anymore."
"Look, we can release water and electricity now, so it doesn't seem so far-fetched that marine life would leave the water."
"We're under attack from both sides! So, is it really true that we can't eat seafood?" Fan Jian rarely used an idiom, but he still couldn't stop talking about food.
Chen Mingzhang looked at Lu Yize, who remained calm, with a complicated expression. Clearly, the man in front of him was already used to his team's unreliable and eccentric thinking.
What are your plans for the future?
Lu Yize ignored the group who were still discussing whether to steam or braise these mutated seafood.
Chen Mingzhang managed to compose his expression. "These marine creatures originally wanted to attack, but a heavy snowfall stopped them."
"It is currently unknown whether their actions are spontaneous or, like zombies and mutated animals, controlled by a higher-level being."
"My initial plan is to deal with extreme weather first. Not only us, but these mutated creatures also cannot survive in such extreme weather."
“I estimated that the time they emerged from the ocean roughly coincided with the time the mutated giant deer arrived.”
When Lu Yize heard him say this, a mischievous smile flashed in his eyes, and he immediately understood, "You want them to match up."
"Yes, after all, we still haven't figured out why this mutated giant deer came."
"A colossal beast with precognitive abilities, leading its minions on a long-distance migration, abandoning territories it had already conquered, facing dangers along the way, and also the things that attracted it."
"It's definitely not that simple."
Lu Yize recalled his memories of his previous life, and the giant deer's behavior was completely different from that of his previous life.
In the past, Lincheng only suffered from maritime calamities. Although the cost was heavy, it was not uncontrollable.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen this place for the base, but now, things are gradually going off track.
Lu Yize looked up again at Chen Mingzhang on the power ring, "So you want to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"
Chen Mingzhang leaned back in his chair, a slightly relaxed smile on his face. "Yes, after all, I want to minimize the damage."
Seeing Lu Yize remain silent, he spoke again, "Marine creatures and mutated beasts all know to gather together of their own kind, but we humans are still a disorganized mess."
"Whether it's marine life coming ashore or mutated giant deer arriving, you and I will both be affected."
"Lu Yize, after all I've said, you probably understand what I mean. How about we cooperate again?"
Chen Mingzhang sincerely and earnestly proposed the cooperation, and Lu Yize analyzed the matter.
In fact, from any perspective, cooperation will be beneficial to both parties.
Chen Mingzhang has a limited number of superhumans under his command, and he needs Lu Yize's forces to protect the people at the base.
Lu Yize and the others, on the other hand, needed firsthand information from the Donggu base where Chen Mingzhang was located.
In the end times, without this exchange of information, life will be extremely difficult.
Chen Mingzhang appeared calm and collected, but in reality, he was filled with anxiety.
After all, that giant deer with human speech had killed two third-tier ability users from the Xiyue base.
Julu is currently heading towards the central base. If it were heading towards the Donggu base in the north, then the Donggu base would likely also be ravaged by bloodshed.
Chen Mingzhang knew even better that if the people at the central base directly confronted the mutated beast horde, it would likely not be a bitter battle, but a massacre.
He needs to provide some additional support to the central base.
At this moment, he and Lu Yize are engaged in a game where each side gets what it wants.
"Tell me the specific cooperation methods."
Lu Yize sat in front of the fire and spoke in a cold voice.
Upon hearing Lu Yize's words, Chen Mingzhang's face broke into a smile again.
“There are people with superpowers at the Donggu Base who can predict the weather. This heavy snow in Lincheng is expected to last for another half a month. After that, there is also a high chance of heavy rain, as you said.”
"Such extreme weather not only prevents us from moving around, but also hinders the movement of mutated beasts and marine life."
"We can take advantage of this time to improve our superpowers as quickly as possible."
"Whether it's a superpower core or a crystal core, we will provide it to the best of our ability, and I will find a way to send it to you."
Lu Yize raised an eyebrow in surprise. He had expected them to send crystal cores in a generous manner, but he did not expect that they would even send the superpower core that Jiang Yue needed.
To show his sincerity, Chen Mingzhang revealed his trump card: "Similarly, I will tell you all the information about the abilities of the twelve superhumans on our side."
The superpowered individuals on Lu Yize's side had all their basic superpowers exposed.
Since they have chosen to cooperate, they should work together, so they will not hide anything from each other and will be transparent with each other.
Unlike the previous battle against the zombie king, this time both sides had ample time to prepare.
Of course, their familiarity with each other was also to prevent the monkey with anthropomorphic abilities from infiltrating the group.
"Okay, nice to work with."
Lu Yize accepted his suggestion, and Chen Mingzhang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, his tense facial muscles finally relaxing.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you," Chen Mingzhang replied with a smile, adding, "The crystal cores I promised you will be delivered to you today."
“Okay.” Lu Yize didn’t even ask a single question about how he would deliver the goods over a distance.
But judging from his expression, Chen Mingzhang understood; it seemed this man had already anticipated this.
Chen Mingzhang chuckled, feeling as if he was being schemed against while also being schemed against himself.
After the call ended, Fan Jiancai, who had been holding back for a long time, leaned closer and asked curiously, "Brother Lu, so how did they get the crystal cores to us? Did they deliver them in the heavy snow?"
