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 twe...
Chapter 353: Gossip Aura
"I'm next door," Li Zhuang replied.
"I want to live on West Island," Xu Yi suddenly said.
Lu Weiyi went to see Li Zhuang immediately. Although the man was still smiling, he looked unspeakably dangerous. He knew that he didn't know about this either.
He swallowed the porridge in his mouth and asked, "Are you not satisfied with the room?"
Xu Yi shook his head and said seriously for the first time, "I heard Liu Yang and the others chatting on the way. They said that there are no people with healing abilities in the military, and Dean is already here, so it would be a waste if we had two of them together. Liu Yang and the others also took good care of me along the way. I think my abilities will be more useful there."
"The healing department is going to go on a mission, can you do it?" Before Lu Weiyi could say anything, Li Zhuang spoke first.
Lu Weiyi was surprised to hear such targeted words coming from Li Zhuang's mouth. This person has always been very casual. It is better to say that he doesn't care rather than being easy to talk to.
"Why not? Dean, a minor, can do it, so why can't I?" Xu Yi spoke excitedly.
"Dean knows how to shoot, can you? Dean knows how to defend himself, can you? Dean has Antonio protecting him desperately, do you have it?" Li Zhuang was still smiling, and his words were almost merciless.
As a bystander, Lu Weiyi could hear the arrogance and contempt in the tone, let alone Xu Yi, the person involved.
After being provoked like this, Xu Yi calmed down instead. He looked at Li Zhuang with calm eyes and said, "I deserve to die outside."
As soon as these words came out, Li Zhuang's pupils suddenly tightened.
Even Lu Weiyi looked at Xu Yi in surprise. This man was timid and afraid of death to the core. He didn't dare to set foot in any dangerous place. Now that he could say such words, he must be very angry.
Just as Lu Weiyi was about to ask what happened, he heard Li Zhuang snort and said with a slightly mocking smile, "It seems that Dr. Xu's memory is not very good. Do you need me to remind you..."
Xu Yi stood up and glared at Li Zhuang with a pair of angry eyes. His whole body was shaking with anger and his eyes were red from holding it in. He didn't say a word. After Li Zhuang stopped talking, he turned around and strode upstairs.
Until the figure disappeared in the corridor, Li Zhuang ran his hand along his forehead to smooth his crew cut, clicked his tongue, and looked back with a rare conflicted look, as if he wanted to chase but was hesitant, and finally stopped where he was and did nothing.
When he turned around, he found Lu Weiyi drinking porridge with a gossipy gleam in his eyes, staring at him.
He was so angry that he laughed and asked, "Is there anyone like you who is a captain?"
Lu Weiyi nodded innocently and pointed at himself, "Now I have it."
Li Zhuang choked for a rare moment, but after a choke he returned to his normal self and sat back on the sofa slowly. "The non-autistic young master doesn't seem so cute anymore."
"Cuteness is not as interesting as gossip." Lu Weiyi signaled with his eyes that he should quickly explain the situation.
Li Zhuang didn't want to satisfy his wish at all. After dinner, the two of them walked towards the West Island. Lu Weiyi's eyes were still burning and full of inquiry. Until he saw Lin Yimu waiting on the opposite side, Li Zhuang still had no intention of giving in. Lu Weiyi finally gave up.
"I don't care what happens between you, but it cannot affect the unity of the team. If he comes to me to change places again, I will definitely agree."
Li Zhuang looked at him in surprise, "You are on guard against him, and you dare to let him go to a place like Xi Island. I thought you would keep a close eye on it." After all, Xi Island is considered to be an important military base in the future.
"I'm on guard against him, but that won't stop him from working, right?" Lu Weiyi understood very clearly that he didn't really appreciate Xu Yi, but that didn't stop him from working for him. "Besides, what information do you think he can get from these people?"
Lu Weiyi looked at the group of people opposite him who were still standing tall. These were the talents that the country had spent a lot of effort to cultivate. How could they be compared to Xu Yi, who had been spoiled by a family?
Li Zhuang thought of Xu Yi's temper, which was all written on his face, and chuckled, agreeing with what he said.
"Master, are you feeling better? You've been sleeping since you came back yesterday, and I didn't have time to ask you about your condition." Lin Yimu saw that he still looked unwell, and his face was full of worry.
"It will be fine if you recover slowly," Lu Weiyi said. He noticed that there seemed to be a red spot on Lin Yimu's neck and asked inexplicably, "Are there any bugs in the villa?"
The two were puzzled for a moment. Li Zhuang followed his gaze and signaled Lin Yimu with his eyes. Lin Yimu immediately became embarrassed. He met Lu Weiyi's clear eyes and coughed lightly, "Yes, in order to reduce the temperature, many trees were grown on the island. There are more trees and more insects. I have asked someone to prepare insecticide powder."
"Then be careful, some insects are very poisonous nowadays."
Li Zhuang tried to hold back his laughter and looked away. Lin Yimu nodded hurriedly and changed the subject, "Mingxu said that you are going to send a batch of military vehicles, so we need to prepare some auto repair talents in advance."
He pointed to a dozen people who were sitting upright even while talking not far away and said, "The people have been prepared for you. How big do you want the venue to be? Is there enough parking lot?"
Although West Island is not large, it is more than enough to accommodate about a thousand people. Many places have not been developed, but they do not have many needs. At the front is their office, followed by the dormitory, and behind that is the training ground. Next to the training ground is the parking lot, where they park their collected modified cars.
The cars collected by Lu Weiyi were all dug out from the ruins. It was not yet determined whether they were damaged or not. He took a look around and directly chose a location next to the parking lot so as not to affect the normal entry and exit of vehicles.
Asking others to stop, he walked forward and around. As he walked, a car covered with dirt and mud appeared beside him.
Some of the frames are deformed, but you can still tell their original appearance at a glance.
Lin Yimu's eyes gradually became eager, Li Zhuang was also a little surprised, and the dozen people who were waiting on the side came closer directly, wiped off the mud on the surface without any hesitation, and shouted excitedly, "Captain Li, it's an armored vehicle."
“This is a bomb truck.”
Amid the excitement and chatter, nearly thirty cars filled the small parking lot.
"With these cars, we will have a way to launch long-range attacks when mutated marine creatures attack us," Lin Yimu was obviously very excited, "I will definitely find someone to repair them all."
"Don't worry, Base Commander, we will ensure the mission is accomplished," a younger man excitedly touched the tank in front of him and shouted excitedly.
This was the first time someone called him base, and Lu Weiyi felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Yimu arranged for them to clean up and took the two of them to the weapons warehouse that had been agreed upon in advance. Li Zhuang did not hesitate. After asking about the area of the weapons warehouse in the space, he directly began to expand the space from underground.
Now that he has S-level supernatural powers, it is much easier for him to free up a warehouse. The land within his sight rises up into a rectangular area at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally stops at a height of nearly four meters.
When Lu Weiyi received the signal that he could do it, he quickly lowered the warehouse. Then a huge amount of energy gushed out from Li Zhuang's body. The protruding land in front of him seemed to be compressed by an invisible force and returned to the ground. With his final sweep like magic, the traces of the rectangular corners disappeared.
Lin Yimu was watching in amazement from the side, and only after the two of them finished did he say with envy, "Is this an S-level power? You must have worked hard along the way."
"It's still worth it." Li Zhuang is very satisfied with his current supernatural powers.
After leaving the West Island, Li Zhuang and Lu Weiyi turned around and went to the South Island.
Compared with the development of other islands, this place is more primitive. Apart from the towering trees that have been grown, there are piles of supplies made up of containers hidden between the trees.
The two of them placed the three laboratories in different locations according to the map given by Zhuang Mingxu in advance. It was almost twelve o'clock when they finished.
At this time, the temperature had risen to over 50 degrees, and even those with strong abilities were sweating profusely.
Li Zhuang stretched and asked, "Do we have any plans to go out in the near future?"
“……” Lu Weiyi didn’t know.
However, he already had the leadership dignity of a team leader and would not say in front of his subordinates that he had never thought about it. He looked at him seriously and said, "Guess."
Li Zhuang burst out laughing, as if he had seen through his disguise. "Last time, Zhuang Mingxu told me about a series of energy transformations when the crystal core merged into the body. I have some ideas recently and want to meet the person who proposed this idea to him. When can you arrange it?"
Speaking of this, Lu Weiyi also thought of Zhuang Mobai and others who had not yet been settled, "I'll do it as soon as possible."
That afternoon, Zhuang Mobai's laboratory was placed in the basement of the island. When Zhuang Mingxu came back, he took Lu Weiyi and Antonio to the laboratory as soon as possible.
"They will not leave here unless something unexpected happens. You know our base well. It is in a state of disrepair and needs all kinds of research results the most. So I'll have to trouble you to supervise the research progress of these people in the future." Zhuang Mingxu introduced to him the purpose of each floor and mentioned a few names of people who did not need attention.
"Supervise?" Antonio repeated meaningfully and said with a smile, "The task will definitely be completed."
Zhuang Mingxu knew that he understood what he meant, so he took him directly to the fifth floor.
When Zhuang Mobai saw Antonio for the first time, he thought that Zhuang Mingxu had figured it out and brought people to experiment on him. He lamented in his heart that he had used the wrong method at the beginning. If he had used tricks on Lu Weiyi directly and forced Zhuang Mingxu to do something, he would definitely take the initiative to attack these people, and there would not have been so many troubles later.
After quietly giving the two of them the necessary checks, Zhuang Mobai looked at Lu Weiyi's data in silence for a long time. Then, after comparing the results of the two tests with Antonio, he immediately became excited.
"I knew that your successful upgrade was related to the low zombie energy in your body." Zhuang Mobai looked at Lu Weiyi like a wolf staring at its prey.
