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 390: Estrangement
Relying on these four people, Lu Weiyi felt that there would be no problem with internal and external cooperation. More importantly, these people dared to hide their families secretly, which showed that their views on the current Pingjin Base were different to a certain extent. After this time, perhaps the Pingjin Base could usher in a new situation.
On the same day after they separated, someone started investigating the information provided by Lin Ya. The information was correct, but there were still some gaps.
Among the three, Tang Bai is devoted to his wife and children, and everything around him is just decoration. The other two just have colorful flags fluttering around them, and their relatives outside are just incidental.
After repeated discussions, the team temporarily selected only Tang Bai, asked Lu Weiyi to stay and take charge, and Liu Rui led his men back to bring more supplies.
After confirming the family members, Lu Weiyi directly brought them into the space.
Tang Bai's image in the base is that of a cynical young man, about 28 or 29 years old. He is not interested in many things in the base and the team, and is one of the people Jiang Ning trusts the most.
He managed a brothel called "Yingge Yanwu", which was the largest in the Pingjin base. He also liked to hang out there, and there were six or seven men and women kept by him.
But he didn't touch them. There were rumors in the base that he had ED. The reason he kept these people was on the one hand to hide his tracks, and on the other hand to vent some of his habits.
But in fact, these people were there to cover up for him, and they also had relatives being held in Tang Bai's hands.
It was only because Lu Weiyi used his mental power to control one of them that he was able to obtain such secret information.
It is said that more than half of Jiang Ning's team's crystal core income comes from this store. It controls the team's crystal cores and can let anyone with a crystal core upgrade with just a word.
The people he secretly placed outside were his wife and daughter, childhood sweethearts. His daughter was born just before the end of the world. Now they live outside the base under the name of his friend's wife and children. He secretly helped his friend to gain a foothold outside.
There are many supernatural forces in the Pingjin base that support ordinary people outside to form small forces. This is not surprising, but the smart thing is that he did not let his friends use his name, but introduced people to Jiang Ning, and directly paid Jiang Ningjing protection fees every month.
As for the source of this crystal core...
More than 90 percent of the money was secretly subsidized by him from Yinggeyanwu.
It can be said that the strategy of sneaking into Chencang was taken to the extreme.
If Lin Ya hadn't mentioned this, who would have thought that there would be such a relationship between them.
When he first received the news that his wife and daughter had been arrested, Tang Bai did not panic, but pretended nothing had happened and immediately contacted his friends. After confirming the accuracy of the news, he went alone to the meeting place provided by Lu Weiyi without any hesitation.
Tang Bai himself has water-based abilities, and it is said that he is very skilled in playing with ice. Even though he is two levels lower than Lu Weiyi, he did not take it lightly. After all, there are many different kinds of abilities, and who knows if someone can attack others silently.
So, he just held little Tang Tingting in his arms and waited for people.
The two-year-old girl has a pair of big, twinkling eyes, fair cheeks, a red bow on her curly hair, and a fluffy skirt. She looks like a pretty doll.
Maybe it's easier to focus on something when there's nothing. The birth rate is shockingly low nowadays, and Lu Weiyi finds that he suddenly seems to like children.
He took out the milk tablets that Taotao usually ate from the space. Tang Tingting, the little friend immediately filled his two little hands with them and giggled at Lu Weiyi.
"You... Captain Lu?" Unlike the cynical person he usually appears, Tang Bai was dressed in black at this moment, with sharp eyes, like a sword with its edge retracted. He stared at the child held by Lu Weiyi without blinking.
"Dad, Dad" Tang Tingting recognized him and waved at him.
Tang Bai stood there nervously. When he recognized Lu Weiyi, he immediately knew his purpose. "You want me to be your spy?"
Talking to smart people is indeed very labor-saving. Lu Weiyi nodded, "Are you willing?"
"Okay, you return my wife and children to me. Where is my wife?" Now that these two men have been accurately captured, there is no need to hide their specific relationship anymore.
Lu Weiyi looked up at him and smiled, without saying a word.
"Dad," Tang Tingting called again.
In the silent confrontation between the two, only little Tang Tingting was left, twisting his body and trying to get closer to Tang Bai, but he was pinned down by Lu Weiyi and couldn't move.
"Hold me, hold me," Tang Tingting shouted twice. Seeing that Tang Bai was unmoved, the delicate little girl pursed her lips and tears quickly filled her eyes, which were about to fall.
"What do you want me to do?" Tang Bosong asked.
Lu Weiyi took out an octopus heart controller from the space and explained its functions to him.
"You want to put this on me?" Tang Bai gritted his teeth.
Lu Weiyi shook his head, "It could also be on her or her mother." He pointed his chin towards Tang Tingting.
Tang Bai's face became uglier and uglier. "It is rumored that Yuebanwan Base can accommodate ordinary people. The people in the base worship their base commander very much. Do they know that their base commander is a scum who doesn't even let children go?"
Lu Weiyi wondered if this guy was stupid.
How could he think that in today's world he would show mercy to possible enemies?
Perhaps it was the look of a fool that calmed Tang Bai down, or perhaps it was because his little crybaby really started crying. Tang Bai reached out to hug the child and compromised, "Let him rest on me."
Lu Weiyi returned the child to him, and Tang Bai skillfully held the child on his shoulder. The child hugged his head with his lotus-like arms, wiped his tears on the side of his cheek, turned around and smiled with tears in his eyes, and even stuffed the milk tablet in his hand into his mouth, saying incoherently, "times, time".
"Daddy doesn't want to eat, baby will." Tang Bai gently wiped the moisture from her eyes and asked, "Where's my wife?"
"In a safe place," Lu Weiyi said, holding the controller close to him. When Tang Bai wanted to resist, he said, "I don't want to hurt anyone. Although it may sound a bit disgusting, everyone cooperates and everything is fine, but..."
He raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him and said, "If you resist, I guarantee that the first things that will appear in front of you will be the bodies of your wife and children."
Lu Weiyi looked at the child who was protected in his arms and said, "I have two sons who are not much older than her, so I quite like children. Don't force me to do it."
Tang Bai didn't say anything, but he didn't retreat or resist either. He let Lu Weiyi hold the Octopus Controller against his chest. He watched the controller disappear, and it felt like something extra was on his chest.
"Do you want to try it?" Lu Weiyi took out a button similar to ** and looked at Tang Bai.
"No, I believe it," said Tang Bai.
Lu Weiyi stretched out his hand to him and said meaningfully, "Your wife and daughter will live safely in our base."
"I don't believe you." Tang Bai knew that he had no right to negotiate with them, so he could only settle for the second best, "I want my friends to live with them."
"Can"
"Also, are you planning to destroy the entire Pingjin base?"
"What does it matter?"
"Of course, I need to determine the future of this base and make plans for my future."
Lu Weiyi thought for a while and said, "That shouldn't be the case. I think the enemies of mankind are still zombies and increasingly powerful mutated plants and animals, not each other. If I didn't know that the people in the Pingjin base are not human, I would have no interest in this place at all."
Hearing what he said, Tang Bai knew that they had already understood that the Pingjin base was planning to attack Yuebanwan. They stared at him for a long time and found that he really didn't seem to be lying. Tang Bai finally said, "I know."
He looked at his daughter in his arms, but his mind was quickly planning. In just a moment, he made a decision, "Since you don't want to destroy the Pingjin base, why don't you push me to the top?"
Lu Weiyi didn't expect that the kidnapping and extortion scene could be like this. He was stuck for a moment, and then he heard Tang Bai continue, "I can guarantee that there will not be such a big conflict between ordinary people and people with special abilities in the Pingjin base in the future."
"The two bases can still help each other. After all, with the current speed of evolution of zombies, no one can guarantee whether there will be a time when zombies will besiege the city and need support."
"In addition, I can also provide you with a certain number of crystal cores. There are few psychics in your base, and the number of zombies you kill should also be limited. Otherwise, with your way of upgrading smoothly, there shouldn't be so many high-level psychics until now."
Lu Weiyi looked at him strangely, and for a moment he didn't know what they thought the upgrade method was.
"Let's go back and discuss it." Lu Weiyi did not give him a definite answer. Seeing Qi Lin, who was waiting outside, sending signals to urge him, he reached out to Tang Bai again.
"Please give my lover a letter for me," Tang Bai said, with a pen and paper in his hand. Seeing that Lu Weiyi was not surprised at all, he guessed that the other party must have known from the beginning that he had the space jade.
After writing a letter carefully and handing it to Lu Weiyi, he leaned over and kissed Tang Tingting's forehead, handed it to Lu Weiyi carefully, and warned him word by word, "If anything happens to my wife and daughter, I will kill you at all costs."
Lu Weiyi ignored his threats and quietly left with the child in his arms.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he took the child into the space.
In the space, a weak woman was looking for her child like crazy. She was a mute, her face was full of tears, her mouth was open, but no sound came out.
As soon as she saw him appear, she rushed over, snatched the child and held him in her arms, then shrank to the farthest place from him, looking at him vigilantly.
Lu Weiyi put Tang Bai's letter on the table and said, "You can live here for a while. The things in your space should be enough for you and your daughter to live. There is no shortage of things in the kitchen over there. Wait for Tang Bai to pick you up."
The woman read Tang Bai's letter, which did not mention their kidnapping. It just said that the base was not safe for the time being and asked them to hide somewhere else. Xu Wen would come to find them after a while - Xu Wen was the brother he mentioned.
