Chapter 197 Friends meet
"The ghosts in the walking dead are not able to resist the energy pollution on the earth, but they can resist it for a short period of time after reaching a certain climate. However, after being injured by my hanging spear, the ghosts were injured, and their ability to resist erosion decreased, so they died quickly."

Li Yi was holding the hanging spear at this moment, watching the ghost disappear, and then made some conclusions: "So after defeating a zombie, practitioners should not get close to it for the time being, so as not to be possessed by the evil spirit. The best way is to stay away from it, or resist for a while, and delay until the ghost reaches its limit, so that it will automatically dissipate in the world."

"But, Li Yi, not everyone has a weapon like yours that can hurt ghosts." Zheng Gong said.

"Witnessing is a type of soul attack, and can be suppressed by witnessing. If one person is not enough, then two or three people can work together to easily deal with the zombies." Li Yi said.

"Witnessed?"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly understood and immediately knew what to do.

That is, after killing the zombies, if they are attacked by ghosts again, they can use witnessing to repel them. As long as they are not possessed and delay a little time, they can survive safely.

With the method, everyone will feel more confident and not be so passive.

"But zombies have already started to appear here, so the situation in other places must be very bad." Lin Yue came over at this moment, she frowned, feeling a little worried: "The Tianqing incident has not even started yet, and Tianchang City is already like this. No wonder everyone wants to cross the border and leave. This kind of city full of dangers is indeed no longer suitable for ordinary people to survive."

"The situation has deteriorated too quickly, and the practitioners have no time to grow. However, even if they grow, they cannot keep up with the speed of cultivation of these monsters. The future is destined to be difficult, so many people will think about crossing borders." Li Yi said.

Now, let alone others, he himself wants to hide away somewhere else.

Although there are ghosts and gods there who may take your life, at least you won't be in danger of dying every day.

"Li Yi, what should we do next? It's getting dark soon." Lu Jue asked at this time.

Li Yi thought for a moment and then asked, "Engineer Zheng, what did the Investigation Bureau say?"

"The Investigation Bureau has already made its arrangements. They have decided to gather all the practitioners in the city from four points: east, west, south and north, and charge into the old city. The nearest gathering point to us is in the west. We must arrive before seven o'clock and start the demon-killing operation on time at seven-thirty," Engineer Zheng said immediately.

"Is time so urgent?" Li Yi looked a little surprised.

"no way."

Zheng Gong said helplessly, "It will be night time at eight o'clock. By then, zombies will be running all over the city. Besides, the pressure in the abandoned city area is also great. It is not easy to spare a night to deal with this incident. If we continue to delay, the extraordinary creatures may enter Tianchang City again."

"It looks like we have no time to waste. It's less than half an hour until seven o'clock. We have to set off immediately." Lin Yue said, looking at the time.

Li Yi said, "Let's start the action now, but we can't ignore the Peace Financial Building. Lu Jue, Zhao Xiaoxiao, you practitioners in the psychic realm should stay here and don't participate in this mission. It's very dangerous with your strength. As for the other practitioners in the spiritual realm, only one person should stay, and the rest should follow me."

"Wouldn't it be unsafe to leave only one spiritual realm practitioner?" Lin Yue asked.

"There's no other way. We don't have enough manpower now. Just leave a few people to be vigilant. If there really are zombies at the spiritual level, no matter how many people we leave, they won't be able to stop them. If they are some ordinary zombies, they can handle them on their own. After all, it's impossible for the two of us to stay here all night." Li Yi said.

"Right."

Lin Yue thought about it, but then realized something and looked towards the first floor of the building.

There is a big problem with Li Yi's mother. If there is any danger approaching, she will probably take action. After all, Li Yi's mother is an existence that even she is afraid of. Until now, she still doesn't know what that thing is.

perhaps.

The most dangerous thing in the entire Tianchang City is not the zombies, nor the supernatural creatures, but the woman lying in the medical cabin.

But it seems that Li Yi hasn't discovered this problem yet.

"Now is not the time to think about this. Although Li Yi's problem is serious, at least it has not happened yet. The zombie incident in front of us is imminent." Lin Yue said secretly.

When everyone heard Li Yi's arrangement, they thought there was no problem, so they started preparing immediately.

After a while, the team for this mission was formed.

Li Yi, Lin Yue, Zheng Gong, Yuan Mingjin, plus Fang Hang, Cheng Pingfang, two practitioners in the realm of spiritual inspiration.

Six people in total.

The remaining Lu Jue, Kong Sheng, Zhao Xiaoxiao and a practitioner named Wang Feng were left in the Peace Financial Building. The four of them were responsible for the security inside and outside the building, ensuring that no zombies would enter the building and cause unnecessary losses.

After making the arrangements, the six people set off immediately without any hesitation.

They drove two cars and headed straight for the gathering point in the west.

During this time, there were at least five or six helicopters flying and circling over the old city of Tianchang City. Various searchlights were lit up, gradually lighting up the city which was originally beginning to dim. In addition, in some places where the buildings were particularly densely packed, the sounds of explosions were also heard.

In order not to affect the operation, some unimportant buildings were destroyed at this moment.

It can be seen that the investigation bureau's actions had already begun.

"The terrain of the old city is complex, and there are more than just zombies hiding in it. Li Yi, I've heard from Wang Jian before that there are some taboo things in the old city. I'm afraid they will suddenly pop up this time." Engineer Zheng said in a low voice in the car.

Li Yi said: "You know this, and the Investigation Bureau also knows this, so they want to do a big cleanup. Not only do they need to clean up the filth in the open, but they also need to deal with the filth in the dark. By the way, how many bullets have you prepared this time? Don't let them run out of bullets when the time comes."

"The equipment department was very lax this time. Yuan Mingjin and I prepared 100 rounds of special-type bullets and two boxes of ordinary-type bullets, totaling 1,000 rounds, which is enough for two sniper rifles." Engineer Zheng said.

Yuan Mingjin said: "Not only that, I also applied for an extra sniper rifle, in case something unexpected happens and the gun is lost or damaged."

"That's good, but are there only sniper rifles in the equipment section? No other good stuff?" Li Yi asked again.

Engineer Zheng said, "There are some, but many weapons are not suitable for dealing with them. They move too fast. Only specially developed extraordinary series weapons are useful. For practitioners, sniper rifles are the best weapons. Anything larger is not suitable for personal use. For example, rocket launchers are powerful, but the probability of hitting the target is too low. Grenades are useless. By the time they explode, the zombies will have run away."

"Some weapons with a large damage range are not very powerful against a single target."

He quickly explained the pros and cons of the weapons, and after comparing them, he realized that the sniper rifle was the best choice for dealing with these zombies and supernatural creatures with strong individual strength.

Going further up, perhaps it would be weapons of mass destruction.

"I see." Li Yi thought about it and felt that it made sense. "However, the higher-ups are still researching other supernatural weapons. It is said that supernatural cold weapons have already appeared, such as swords, spears, and the like, but those are not made of ordinary materials, but are made of special alloys that can break through the defenses of supernatural creatures and cause considerable damage."

"Extraordinary cold weapons?" Li Yi's expression changed: "Why haven't I seen anyone from the Investigation Bureau use them?"

"The output is too low and the cost is too high, so it has not yet been popularized. However, the practitioners of the Golden Academy are said to have already used it." said Engineer Zheng.

"Fuck, why are all the good stuff in Golden Academy?" Fang Hang on the side couldn't help but swear.

Zheng Gong said: "There is no other way. The top practitioners are all there, so naturally some of the top things should be used by the Golden Academy first. After all, that is the hope for the future of the Earth. But there is no need to envy them. Although they enjoy the best resources, they also bear great responsibilities."

While we were talking, we had already arrived at the gathering point.

At this time, a lot of vehicles had driven into the open space, and many practitioners had come from all directions, and the surroundings suddenly became lively.

Li Yi and others did not arrive early, but even a little late.

His car stopped on the side, and many people looked over at him. Every pair of eyes was shining brightly in the dim evening, making people feel an inexplicable pressure.

Several people got out of the car, and their identity information had already been known by many practitioners.

"It was Li Yi from the Investigation Bureau, and Lin Yue, a member of the Cultivator Association. The former is a spiritual master, and the latter is a spiritual master. Moreover, Wei Bin, a wanderer from the abandoned city, was killed by Lin Yue with his bare hands at the training base of the Investigation Bureau."

"A team of six people, two snipers? This team is not weak."

"That Li Yi's arm is glowing. He is using the Guidance Technique. But what is that thing he is holding in his hand? An illusory spear?"

"The shape of the spear is a bit strange. It seems to be called a hanging spear, a kind of funerary weapon."

Some practitioners have already started to quickly search for information, and then said: "I heard that there is a ghost street in the dangerous area, where ghost soldiers often roam. The weapons in the hands of the ghost soldiers are spears like this. This Li Yi has been to the dangerous area and probably had some adventures."

Every team here has its own network of relationships and intelligence network, and the details of Li Yi and Lin Yue were soon exposed.

Lin Yue also saw some familiar people in the crowd at this moment: "That's Zhao Lingfu from the Cultivator Association, and Wu Xiu. They are both masters of spiritual perception. I didn't expect that they each formed a team this time. It seems that they also want to compete for a place in the Investigation Bureau."

With the idea of ​​meeting an acquaintance, she went up to say hello.

However, Zhao Lingfu and Wu Xiu both acted rather distant and didn't really want to pay attention to Lin Yue.

This made Lin Yue smell something unusual.

Finally, Zhao Lingfu whispered, "Lin Yue, your good friend Qin Qing is here too, she's over there."

After saying that, he pointed.

Qin Qing?

Lin Yue's face changed and then she looked over.

really.

Not far away, there was a woman with blue vertical pupils, standing on a tall building, looking at the old city in the distance, seemingly observing the terrain.

However, Lin Yue's gaze also caught Qin Qing's attention.

Soon, Qin Qing on the tall building looked back.

From a distance, the two looked at each other.

Qin Qing's expression was a little complicated, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, as if she had not expected that Lin Yue would also come to this gathering point in the west.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally quickly climbed down from the tall building and then quickly turned back.

"Lin Yue." Qin Qing spoke and greeted her.

Lin Yue smiled at this moment: "Qin Qing, what a coincidence that you also came to this gathering point, but you should still be with Yang Yilong recently. I reminded you before that Yang Yilong is not a good choice. Last time you came back from the danger zone injured, didn’t you suffer enough? If Li Yi hadn’t told Li Shaoqing about you, and the cultivator association had put pressure on him, Yang Yilong would not have planned to treat you at all."

"No, you are wrong, Lin Yue. Yang Yilong has his own difficulties. He just lacks funds temporarily. After all, he has a big family and has a lot to take care of. Besides, didn't he arrange the best treatment plan in the end?" Qin Qing said, "If it were you, you should give up Li Yi. He started too slowly and is only at the spiritual realm now. To be honest, he is not worthy of you. You deserve to find someone better."

"To me, Li Yi is the best. He is not as heartless as Yang Yilong. He values ​​affection and is clear about gratitude and resentment. I admire him very much, and I believe that his future achievements will be limitless." Lin Yue said confidently.
Qin Qing said: "Lin Yue, if you keep supporting Li Yi, Yang Yilong will not let you go."

"I killed his uncle. He won't let me go no matter what. It has nothing to do with my support for Li Yi." Lin Yue said, "As a friend, I advise you to break away from Yang Yilong and not be stubborn. Otherwise, when we settle our grudges in the future, we will inevitably involve you. After all, some things have nothing to do with you."

"Lin Yue, it's too late to say this now." Qin Qing said seriously: "Yang Yilong must become a cross-border person, and I will support him from beginning to end. I will not let go of anyone who stands in the way, including you."

"Ok?"

Lin Yue was startled, then frowned and said, "So, for Yang Yilong, you not only want to break up with me, but also deal with us. Is that what you mean?"

"Some things must be done early."

Qin Qing said, "I don't want to go this far either. Just like I advised you to give up Li Yi, you didn't want to either. If you are willing to withdraw from this operation, I can convince Yang Yilong not to pursue the matter of you killing his uncle. We will still be friends. If Yang Yilong becomes a cross-border person in the future, I am willing to take you with me."

Lin Yue laughed: "Now that you put it that way, I don't know if you are heartless or affectionate. But I can say the same thing to you. If you leave Yang Yilong, and Li Yi becomes a cross-border person in the future, I will let Li Yi take you across the border together. After all, you have no grudge against Li Yi. You even specially notified me when Yang Yilong's uncle Yang Ye wanted to murder Li Yi last time. So we will still be friends at that time."

"Lin Yue, I know your character, and you know mine. We have no way to convince each other, but some things still depend on reality." Qin Qing's blue vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and she looked at Li Yi not far away.

"Li Yi is too weak now. If he can do it, Yang Yilong can do it too, and Yang Yilong can do it better. Plus, there is a gap in realm between them. If they start fighting, Li Yi will definitely die."

"This mission is very dangerous for you. As a friend, I would like to give you one last piece of advice. Quit this mission, leave Tianchang City, and give up the cross-border quota. Only in this way can you be safe. Otherwise, this old city will be your burial place."

She knew that once Yang Yilong found an opportunity during the mission, he would kill Li Yi without hesitation.
