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 294: Lu Xiao Stands Firm
The news that they have no superpowers has not spread yet. If they cannot recover, this news cannot be concealed for long.
There will be no problems with the people below in the short term, but it is only a matter of time before chaos breaks out.
Zheng Yi knew what he meant. He took a deep breath and felt that he was really careless this time.
He turned his eyes to the side and instructed the doctor, "You should find out the cause as soon as possible."
…
The appearance of mutant rats instantly relieved the tense atmosphere at the Kyoto base.
Every team was worried about their own safety and was quietly checking their own warehouses. During this check, they actually discovered quite a few cases of mutant animals causing harm, and the power struggle was actually less intense.
With Lu Xiao's appearance on the first day, the reputation of the Flame Team was completely spread. Even after the Zheng family sent the healing team to help, it did not restore much of their reputation.
The healing ability users could only absorb a limited number of crystal cores, and could only treat a limited number of people. It took them a total of three days for the treatment.
After the event, Lu Xiao listened with distress to Cong Qing's report on the supplies they had consumed. Then he heard Golden Eagle walk in with a pretty young girl.
He shouted to Lu Xiao from afar, "Master Xiao, Miss Luo is looking for you."
Lu Xiao and Cong Qing looked at each other, turned around and greeted her with a smile, "Ms. Luo."
"Hello, Major General Lu." Luo Feifei is the daughter of Luo Laoqi. She used to manage all the healing psychics in the Hunter Guild.
Later, Luo Laoqi escaped by himself, and the healing psychics were invited away by the team below. Luo Feifei was allowed to stay free for a while, but because she was a rare healing psychic, she was not subjected to too much oppression and control.
When Lu Xiao took supplies and asked the healing department for help, Luo Feifei was a little tempted. After three days, she felt that compared to the Hunter Guild, where those teams had gathered together but now became scattered, this place might be a better place to go.
Luo Feifei drank the warm water that was brought to her and didn't say anything for a while.
Lu Xiao thought about her current situation and felt that he seemed to know her purpose, but he was not sure - after all, there were better teams to choose from.
Especially since she is Luo Laoqi's daughter, if he hadn't intervened, she would probably still be with her father, running the Hunter's Guild well.
Luo Feifei drank the glass of water slowly. She looked up at Lu Xiao and said, "Major General Lu, is your team short of a healing psychic?"
"Lack" Lu Xiao answered without hesitation. Everyone in the base knew that one of the reasons why the banker was weak was that he did not have a single healing psychic.
"What do you think of me? I have a B-level supernatural power now, and I can do healing." The young girl must have never introduced herself, and her words were not very attractive.
"Why choose me? Whether it's the Zheng family or the Zhao family, you will be treated with courtesy when you go there." Lu Xiao couldn't help but doubt her purpose.
"They have their own healing psychics, and I will definitely be ostracized if I go there." Not only are the healing psychics ostracized among themselves, but also by her teammates.
When the Hunter's Guild was founded, Luo Laoqi was a profit-oriented person. Even when they were out on a mission, healers like them were not allowed to treat others privately. Every time they treated someone, they would give a portion of the money to the team. If others did not give anything, they would have to make up for it themselves.
The cost is not low, which leads to the Hunter Guild's healing department never treating others outside, even if the other party's life is in danger.
After Luo Feifei recently thought about the teams that she had watched die without helping in the past year, she finally determined that the dealers had the least number of them, and Lu Xiao did not have any healing system. Even if their subordinates were dissatisfied, they would not make things too difficult for her.
Lu Xiao pondered her words for a while and immediately understood what she meant.
He nodded and said, "Okay."
Luo Feifei probably didn't expect it to be so smooth. When she looked up, she was still confused. After a moment, she lowered her eyes and whispered thank you, "But..."
"I want to live with you."
"Puff" Lu Xiao choked on a mouthful of water. The team members who were quietly paying attention to the situation here were disciplined and did not take any action, but they were constantly exchanging glances with each other.
"I... I didn't mean that." Luo Feifei seemed to realize the ambiguity of her words and said hurriedly, "I... your team is full of men, I'm afraid..."
Lu Xiao coughed twice and calmed down. "Don't worry about this. Our team is made up of soldiers, and the situation you are afraid of will not happen. Besides, I live with my teammates, and it is not convenient for you to come over. You can live with the second team. They are female soldiers. They live in the building next to ours, not far away, and they can provide support at any time if needed."
Luo Feifei wanted to say something, but seeing Lu Xiao's serious expression, she swallowed the words and said, "The Hunter Guild..."
"They have already distributed all the supplies. There is no reason to hold you back. I will negotiate with them," Lu Xiao said. Seeing that Luo Feifei had nothing else to say, he began to talk about his own rules.
"The Flame is different from the Hunter's Guild. There is no healing system in it, so your responsibility will be heavy. You are responsible for all the injuries. Of course, you can rest assured that I won't do anything to drain the pond to catch fish. In special circumstances, you may absorb too many crystal cores, but it is only limited to life-saving moments." Lu Xiao said the ugly words in advance, "I don't want to have disputes at this time in the future."
"Also, I think you should know that the reason why the Hunter's Guild got into trouble was because I exposed the dealer's situation. If..." Lu Xiao looked at the person in front of him sharply, "If I find out that you have made any small moves, I will not take your special abilities into consideration when dealing with you."
Luo Feifei nodded without making any excuses, "What about me? How do I calculate my monthly supplies?"
The two discussed for a while and reached a cooperation. Lu Xiao asked Cong Qing to ask someone to bring Luo Feifei back to the team directly.
Watching people leave, Lu Xiao broke into a smile on his stern face.
"Master Xiao, I heard that the girl from the Luo family is only nineteen, you...well..." The golden eagle asked with a wink.
"I'm almost her father, stop talking nonsense." Lu Xiao kicked over, but the golden eagle dodged nimbly.
"Then brothers, come on, we don't mind raising a daughter." Someone poked his head in from outside the door.
"It's up to you. You can chase him, but don't confuse the importance of things. We have a grudge with the Hunter's Guild," Lu Xiao reminded them.
"yes"
Several people stood up, saluted, and then dispersed.
Lu Xiao looked back at the material consumption list given by Cong Qing, and instantly he no longer felt distressed. He thought about it and felt that he could go to his nephew and plead his sympathy. Maybe his nephew, who was as kind as a Pixiu, could support his dear uncle with some supplies.
…
All the Zheng family's attention was focused on the recovery of Zheng Yi and several psychics, and they had no time to pay attention to Lu Xiao.
While Zheng Yi and his companions were looking for doctors to study their physical conditions, Lu Xiao, with the silent support of the Zhao family, quickly took into his hands all the forces that the banker could absorb. Within a few days, the Flame Squad successfully occupied a place among the major forces.
After the only team member had almost recovered, they found that the tense situation had eased quietly.
On the contrary, Lu Weiyi remained the same, looking sickly.
When the first member of the team showed signs of recovery in his ability, the first heavy rain of the season arrived.
The heavy rain covered the sky and the earth, as if it was going to drown the whole world.
It had been raining heavily all day and the drainage system at the Kyoto base began to have problems.
In order to ensure the survival of the base after this torrential rain which would stop at any moment, the major forces notified all the teams to hold a meeting in the rain to decide on the sphere of influence for the maintenance of the base.
Lieyan successfully gained a place of recognition. Although it was a time of hard work, it was a good start after all.
After the meeting, Lu Xiao received an unexpected visiting letter.
"It's Zheng Yi," Zhuang Mingxu said to Lu Xiao who had just returned from the base power meeting, holding the card with exquisite writing on it, "He should have noticed something was wrong."
"They were all bitten by rats. If he hasn't figured it out after so long, I'm going to doubt how he got this position." Not long after Lu Xiao came back today, Brigade Commander Sun and Major Liu, who had previously remained neutral, also came over and handed over two-thirds of the supplies, which were considered to be under his control.
This made him feel very happy. He ignored the water dripping on his head, threw his raincoat aside, sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and tapped the paper on his knees gently, "Should we admit it?"
"It makes no difference whether you admit it or not." Zhuang Mingxu was still wearing an apron. In recent days, he has been promoted to the team chef, and his cooking skills have been unanimously recognized by team members.
He felt somewhat apologetic for being framed by his own family members. However, when the situation improved, these people became shameless and began to order food without any courtesy.
Thinking about the fact that they were going to have a barbecue on a rainy day, Zhuang Mingxu felt that these people needed to be punished.
"Anyway, they have no evidence," Lu Xiao said, turning to look at Zhuang Mingxu, "There won't be any mistakes made by the people in the Hunter Guild teams, right?"
"They didn't use the same medicine as Zheng Yi." They used the same medicine as the only team.
"That's good. I have already negotiated the terms with each team. When is it convenient to release them?" Lu Xiao asked.
"Anytime." Zhuang Mingxu's mouth twitched. There were many people in the laboratory, and eating alone was a considerable expense every day, especially since some of them could not move. Some medical staff inside had completely assumed the duties of babysitters.
Zhuang Mingxu wished that they would all leave the next moment.
"Then I'll take them away later." Lu Xiao didn't ask where they were holding the people in this villa. "Zhuang Mobai's medicine is quite useful. If it is mass-produced, it will be invincible in every base."
"No," Zhuang Mingxu shook his head. "On our way back to Kyoto, we encountered the Anjiang base. At that time, they already had an injection specifically for restraining the superpowers of psychics. They also gave us one injection, but we were facing zombies and never had the chance to use it."
