Five years into the apocalypse, Zhuang Mingxu, the strongest ability user in the safe zone, was killed by his so-called “family.”
Lu Weiyi, who had been indifferent to everything for over...
Chapter 274 Stealing the Son
Lu Weiyi, who was resting with his eyes closed, was awakened by him. He nodded and turned to Xu Yi with a calm and playful look.
Before Xu Yi could even let go of the feeling of "finally", he noticed Lu Weiyi's evil eyes. He was playing with an arm in his hand, which was his.
Zhuang Aiyi's cheerful steps stopped when he saw the child on Lu Weiyi's lap. Taotao also stared at him. The two looked at each other with curiosity in their eyes.
No one had ever said the so-called "other children theory" in front of Zhuang Aiyi. Regarding the new child, Zhuang Aiyi's first thought was that someone was playing with him. His dirty face was a little shy but he could not hide his joy. He took a few steps forward shyly and said in a baby voice, "Hello, I'm Aiyi, what's your name?"
Taotao tilted his head slightly. He didn't know what the red bellyband was made of, but it still fit him even though his body had become smaller. He put his chubby index finger into his mouth and replied after a long while, "My name is Taotao."
After saying that, she shyly buried her head in Lu Weiyi's chest, but couldn't help but look secretly.
"Aiyi, go back to your room to take a shower and change clothes." Lu Weiyi stared at Xu Yi. He could smell a faint stench coming from Zhuang Aiyi. He waved his hand and put a bathtub in the bedroom, then raised his chin to Zhuang Aiyi.
Zhuang Aiyi sniffed herself and her face flushed, "Aiyi stinks."
He jogged a few steps towards the room, and when he turned around, he saw Taotao looking at him, and asked, "Little dad, can I bring the kid with me?"
Lu Weiyi picked up Taotao by the knot tied on her back and handed her to Zhuang Aiyi, "Take good care of your brother."
Although he didn't understand what this Taotao was yet, it didn't stop him from getting rid of the person. The scene that was about to happen might not be suitable for children to be present.
"Is it your younger brother?" Zhuang Aiyi asked loudly, and came over to pick up Taotao with both hands. He was not tall to begin with, and it looked quite strenuous for him to hold the little fat boy, but even so he still held the person tightly in his arms.
"Yes, go ahead," Lu Weiyi waved at him.
Zhuang Aiyi turned around and walked away with trembling steps, not forgetting to tell the barefoot child in his arms to call him brother.
After the two kids entered the room, Lu Weiyi looked at Xu Yi again. He didn't say anything. He fiddled with his broken arm with one hand and curled one corner of his mouth. A half-smile appeared on his face, which looked a little inconsistent, but more of a feeling of uneasiness.
An invisible sense of oppression came from all directions. Xu Yi, who was looking at the other people in the living room, felt like he was under a heavy weight. With a "bang", he was forced to his knees on the ground. The loud noise alone must have injured his knees. "...Lu... Um..."
All the bones in his body seemed to be breaking. Xu Yi's supernatural power level was already low, and he had no power to resist at this moment. Struggling has become a luxury.
"……Well……"
“…Ugh…”
"Captain!"
Qi Lin's sudden words attracted Lu Weiyi's attention.
Qi Lin was seen kneeling beside the bed, his spine slightly bent, "...there are patients here."
There were only a few people left whose superpowers were suppressed, and their expressions were extremely painful.
Lu Weiyi quickly put away his supernatural powers. He forced his way through to the SS level, which made his power several times stronger than in his previous life. However, he was a little unskilled in controlling it at the moment. "Sorry."
The sounds of heavy breathing came one after another. Qi Lin, the only one in a better condition, waved his hand. He did not dare to argue with Lu Weiyi.
"...Take it easy, Lu Xiaoyi, I haven't lived enough." Xu Sa's voice was low, trembling, and weak.
"Lu Weiyi, fuck you, I saved your son, but you repay me with evil..." Lu Weiyi didn't respond. Xu Yi's crying and cursing sounded first. His tears washed away the dirt on his face. His legs hurt so much that he couldn't move at all, but he couldn't stop his mouth. "You bastard, if I had known earlier, I would have thrown your son away. If someone else had snatched him away to be a duckling, I shouldn't have stopped them..."
No matter what he said, the first thing that came into Lu Weiyi's ears was a curse. He raised his hand and was about to deal with this annoying thing.
Qi Lin trotted over and quickly protected Xu Yi. At the same time, he covered Xu Yi's mouth tightly with one hand and forced a smile, "Captain, I'll do it, I'll take care of him." With Cong Qing's previous analysis and Xu Yi's words just now, Qi Lin felt that it might be different from what he thought.
Meeting Lu Weiyi's stern gaze, Qi Lin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back. He felt that Lu Weiyi's aura seemed to be even stronger this time, and even had a sense of oppression.
Lu Weiyi withdrew his gaze, which meant he agreed with his opinion.
Qi Lin was a soldier after all, so it was easy for him to suppress Xu Yi, a fragile person. "If you open your mouth again, he will cut you into pieces!"
After spending a few days together, everyone around knew that Xu Yi was a coward. As soon as the threatening words came out, Xu Yi paused for a moment. Qi Lin took this opportunity to quickly say, "Don't make a fuss. Something happened in this living room. The captain is furious right now. You stole someone's son..."
"Who said I stole it?" Xu Yi asked loudly, his face was clean and dirty, just a clown. He pushed Qi Lin away and faced Lu Weiyi, "You were all knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I saw Zhuang Mingxu's relative moving you one by one to the ground..."
Lu Weiyi looked over with a casual and sharp gaze. Xu Yi paused and became more righteous. He told the story of that night and said angrily, "If I hadn't taken your son away, he would have become the same as them. I heard that man looking for the child with my own ears."
"I'm a healer who has been protecting him all the way, hiding from place to place. Is it easy for me? You..." Xu Yi knelt on the ground, pointing his index finger at Lu Weiyi, his fingertips trembling and tears streaming down his face.
Lu Weiyi didn't quite believe this statement. After all, Xu Yi had too many criminal records, but...
Xu Yi, who cried so shamefully, stunned the crowd in the living room who had just escaped from danger and instantly turned into a crowd of people watching the fun.
"Did you see with your own eyes that Zhuang Mingxu let the person with super powers in?" Qi Lin looked strange.
"I..." Xu Yi glanced at the living room to make sure that Zhuang Mingxu was not there.
"Tell me what you saw with your own eyes." Lu Weiyi stared at him with cold eyes.
Xu Yi recalled for a moment and shook his head, "I only heard him asking who the other party was, and then he hurriedly took Zhuang Aiyi to hide... However, I saw that the leading psychic was Li Ji, and the one who arrested people later was Zhuang Chengye."
Zhuang Mobai was arresting people inside, Zhuang Chengye was blocking them outside, and Zhuang Mingxu was "just" guarding the door...
It seems that there is no need to say more.
Most of them were pushed back into the room by Qi Lin. At this time, only Antonio and his wife, Xu Sa, Liu Rui, the Gu brothers and Lu Xi were left outside - there were limited rooms on the first floor and they could not accommodate everyone.
"Tell me what happened in the past two days." Lu Weiyi closed his eyes and kept rubbing the solar plexus with his index finger.
"You suddenly turned into a big tree. Zhuang had to watch over you and asked us to rest. Not long after we came back, you all fell unconscious." Antonio moved sideways with difficulty to let Dean in his arms sleep more comfortably. "You were all in the laboratory when you woke up."
"He said with his own mouth that he wanted my crystal core to be transplanted to him," Antonio lowered his voice and said fiercely, "He tortured Dean."
He looked at Lu Weiyi and added, "Everyone heard it, he is an insider."
He was asking Lu Weiyi for an explanation.
Lu Weiyi opened his eyes and looked at the other two beds. People who were usually quite taboo were now hugging each other face to face. Xu Sa met his gaze and nodded tiredly.
Gu Qingji hugged the drowsy Gu Qingyue tightly and looked towards Lu Weiyi, silently affirming him while also demanding a result.
Seeing this, Xu Yi silently lowered his presence. Qi Lin kept his eyes moving between the few people awake in the living room, and remained silent.
At this time, there was no one to help Zhuang Mingxu.
Lu Weiyi pinched his brows and said nothing. He glanced at Xu Yi and motioned him to continue.
Xu Yi honestly explained what happened between him and Zhuang Aiyi. When they saw Lu Xiao, their original plan was to return to the villa quietly and contact Lu Xiao secretly.
But after Lu Xiao came back, the Zhuang family strengthened the vigilance in the surrounding area and became more urgent in their search for them. Xu Yi could only take Zhuang Aiyi to some dark areas, which also made the two of them being targeted by some people with bad intentions.
"They want to catch us and make us their slaves," Xu Yi gritted his teeth. He had never suffered such humiliation before, and his chest heaved violently with anger.
"Then how did you escape?" Qi Lin knew Xu Yi's skills.
"…it was Zhuang Aiyi's mutated plant that helped us." He and Zhuang Aiyi had been captured at that time, and Xu Yi was considering the possibility of exposing his identity. Unexpectedly, Zhuang Aiyi's terrified cries caused the green plant on his wrist to take action, helping them escape, but it also alarmed the Zhuang family's people.
If Lu Xiao had arrived a step later, they would probably have been in the hands of the Zhuang family.
"Mutated plant?" Lu Weiyi turned his head to look at Zhuang Aiyi who had just washed and changed his clothes. There was indeed a green plant wrapped around his wrist.
"It's my mutant vine," Gu Qingji said in a hoarse voice, "Before I fell into a coma, I felt something was wrong, so I told it to run away."
Who knew that he would end up at Zhuang Aiyi's place.
Fortunately, I followed Zhuang Aiyi, otherwise, if I had gone to the laboratory, my crystal core would have been taken out.
Gu Qingji waved in the direction of Zhuang Aiyi. It was unknown what kind of communication was made, but the mutant vine, which had been motionless, moved, fell from Zhuang Aiyi's hand, crawled towards Gu Qingji, and finally returned to his wrist.
"Uncle Xu, why are you kneeling?" Zhuang Aiyi didn't understand the situation, so he held Taotao and walked towards Lu Weiyi. There were some snacks between the two of them.
"My stomach is growling. It's my brother who gave it to me." After washing, Zhuang Aiyi regained her fair and tender complexion, but with scars on her face. She looked at Lu Weiyi with sparkling eyes.
"It's me," Taotao said, pointing at herself with her chubby little hand.
It looks like it was taken from space, and I haven't noticed yet...
"Remember to tell me next time." The space contains not only food, but also other key things. If he is tricked into taking them away, it will be easy for something to go wrong.
"I got it, father," Taotao said obediently while hugging Zhuang Aiyi's neck. She then turned around and called Zhuang Aiyi brother, coaxing Zhuang Aiyi into peeling some dried fruits for him happily.
"Cough cough..." Xu Yi, who was also hungry, coughed loudly twice, attracting attention. Zhuang Aiyi thought about it and immediately took out a few packs of bread and gave it to him, "Uncle Xu, eat too."
