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 426 Hunting
All teams depend on the base, and all they see is the small piece of land in front of them. At most, they feel comfortable and worry about the food in other people's pots, but no one pays attention to the overall environment.
Now that the base has informed other bases of what happened, many people have begun to realize that the environment they face is still cruel.
"According to their attack trajectory, they have been moving steadily to the north, extending towards the Pingjin base or the Kyoto base. It seems to be very far away, but it is impossible to determine whether there are higher-level zombie rulers among these zombies."
"The Kyoto Base, in the name of the Capital Base, makes a suggestion to all existing bases across the country to seize the time and do their best to clear out the zombies around the bases to avoid further difficulties for the bases when they are attacked."
"The area near our base is divided with the Kyoto base and the Pingjin base. Starting tomorrow, the entire base will gather its strength to hunt zombies. The teams will be divided into two groups led by the base army. All A-level and above psychics must participate, and B-level psychics can sign up at their discretion."
After making sure that the notification was in place, Lu Weiyi closed the document, looked at everyone, and said, "If you have any questions, ask now."
With the situation just now in mind, no one took the initiative to speak up for a while. It was the captain of the Frost Society, Ye Jia, who asked casually, "Captain Lu, do we have the supernatural jammer to assist us this time?"
"Yes, but there is one thing I need to remind you. The supernatural jammer has little effect on high-level zombies. Don't put all your hope on auxiliary tools."
Ye Jia made an OK gesture, no problem.
"How many days will it take? Is there any...subsidy?" Chen Xing asked.
"The specific number of days will be decided temporarily based on the number of zombies. There is no subsidy, but the crystal cores obtained from hunting zombies will belong to the team itself."
"Can this crystal core be replaced with a purification crystal core?"
Lu Weiyi said nothing and turned to look at Zhuang Mingxu. He didn't know the storage capacity of the base's purification crystal cores.
"Okay, the exchange rate is two to one."
This is a ratio that has never been seen in the base, and it further illustrates that the number of zombies to be cleared this time is so large that it will definitely be difficult for the base's psychics alone to fight against them.
There were a few whispers from the audience, and then someone asked a few questions, and then everything fell silent.
"Everyone go back and think about it. You can sign up later. The registration deadline is 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and you must be ready to depart the day after tomorrow at the latest."
After the meeting, Lu Weiyi was retained by several familiar captains to talk for a while about the arrangements and the possible time when the base would be closed. They were also invited to have lunch together at noon.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when the party ended. As it was a busy time, no one dared to force people to drink. After drinking two glasses, Zhuang Mingxu suddenly asked on the way about how Zhang Hang was dealt with.
"There are people in the base who are not honest. Since you want to test us, just give them a warning and scare them so that they won't dare to cause any trouble for a while. I think this zombie attack is not that simple." Lu Weiyi leaned tiredly on Zhuang Mingxu's shoulder.
"I've also heard rumors. This is a problem that every base will encounter during its expansion process. Everyone wants to have a share of the right to speak."
"I worked so hard to build this base, why should I let others reap the fruits of it?" Lu Weiyi gritted his teeth, wishing he could dig out those with evil intentions.
Zhuang Mingxu knew that he had been traveling around the country for a year and was very tired. Relying on his space, the entire West Island was now filled with basements, with all kinds of supplies, useful and useless.
He pulled the man over and patted him soothingly, "I've already sent people to infiltrate their group. They are all under control. When they take action, we will catch them all in one fell swoop."
Lu Weiyi nodded, a little annoyed, "I heard that the Hope Base was attacked by mutant rats in November? There were countless casualties in the base?"
"Well, we've contacted Su Yan, and he told us to be careful because autumn is the season when rats appear. After receiving the news, I asked Brother Xiong to bring earth-type mutants to search the entire underground of the base and killed quite a few of them."
Now zombies and mutated animals are trying every means to attack humans, and even the base has become unsafe.
There is no risk of zombies entering Yueban Bay, but mutated creatures are omnipresent. In order to prevent mutated bees and insects, there are no plants in the crowded areas of North Island.
The underground soil is also checked by earth-type ability users at regular intervals, and several lookout towers have been built to keep an eye out for mutant birds entering. What's worse, because it is close to the sea, amphibians will come ashore near the beach and reefs.
In order to ensure the safety of the people, the base has made an astonishingly large investment. All of these expenses are supported by the base, which is how it is able to keep this piece of land safe when other bases have repeatedly suffered various accidents.
However, these teams, who were enjoying themselves with a clear conscience, only saw the results but failed to notice the efforts of everyone behind the scenes. They just wanted to pick the fruits out of greed, which made Lu Weiyi angry and felt it was not worth it.
"Don't be angry. Don't you think it's funny to see them trying so hard but to no avail?" Zhuang Mingxu advised.
"I'm not as perverted as you. I just hope they can behave themselves and not cause me trouble." Lu Weiyi relayed Dong Hongyuan's words to Zhuang Mingxu.
"It seems that they are not well-informed and don't know that we have sold the production methods of superpower jammers and blockers to various bases."
Speaking of this, Lu Weiyi felt unhappy again, "I always feel that we are at a disadvantage."
"It's a bit of a loss." Zhuang Mingxu also admitted that this thing has not been developed to its maximum value. If it can be produced and sold in large quantities, it will definitely be a huge profit. However, in the outside world, whether it is super-powered zombies or super-powered animals and plants, the changes are too rapid, and humans' advantages are gradually decreasing.
This year alone, the number of deaths of people with special abilities and ordinary people has increased significantly. If the number continues to increase, it will only accelerate the extinction of humanity.
"After all, human beings are one, and we cannot just look at personal interests at a time like this."
"I know, but if we give it to them, we still have to endure their schemes to cheat us of other things. I just feel that..." Lu Weiyi looked disgusted, "It's so disgusting."
The higher you stand, the more darkness you see. No one can help Lu Weiyi's difficulty in adapting to this. Zhuang Mingxu can only change the subject, "Are the weapons in Kyoto base adapting well?"
The base opened many factories this year, including the most important weapons manufacturing.
Lu Xiao had conducted experiments at the Kyoto base in advance, so Zheng Yi and Zhao Qiang also set their sights there. As soon as they received the news of the zombie siege, they contacted the Yuebanwan base to purchase crystal core weapons. Although they were also working hard to research them, the results were slightly inferior.
Weapons are the foundation of Yuebanwan. Lu Weiyi had no intention of trading them. However, the two captains of the base, who were secretly dissatisfied with each other, teamed up to play the victim in front of Lu Weiyi.
After drinking, he cried and snotted, and soon Lu Weiyi, who had a normal alcohol tolerance, got drunk. He agreed to the deal between the two. Fortunately, he knew it was not fair, so he did not dare to write an excessive amount in the contract.
The next day, Lu Weiyi could only accept his mistake under Lu Xiao's amused look. He had gone to the Kyoto base to deliver weapons a few days ago and had just returned.
"It's okay, they are all military and police, it's not difficult." The two of them talked and returned to Nakajima.
Within the morning, the news that the Spark Team was kicked out of the base had spread throughout the base. The military and police's psychics were dispatched at the same time, and all the psychics and ordinary people in the team were detained in front of everyone. After counting all the supplies, they were forcibly expelled from the base.
During dinner, those who did not attend the meeting immediately asked about the details.
"It's obvious that this small team is the one that's taking advantage of others." Wu Yue usually has a lot of contact with various teams and can see through it at a glance.
"Since you have decided to step forward, be prepared to bear the consequences." Zhuang Mingxu helped Taotao pick up the overturned bowl with a calm tone.
"If Xiaoyi hadn't spoken first, I would have decided to make an example of him to scare the monkeys. There must be no chaos inside the base during this period." He looked at the managers of various departments of the base. "Once something happens, high pressure must be adopted to suppress it. If they are afraid, they naturally won't dare to cause trouble at the critical moment."
"That's true. However, when we go out to hunt zombies this time, the base still recommends that we leave enough manpower behind just in case," Wu Yue suggested.
"It's already being arranged." Zhuang Mingxu smiled gently, with a cold look in his eyes.
Wu Yue and Ning Yuan, two partners who have worked together for many years, knew at a glance that this man was up to something bad again, "What do you want?"
"Let me think about how to deal with them," Zhuang Mingxu stopped him from speaking any further.
He had his own plan and had originally intended to discuss it with Lu Weiyi, but seeing how angry he was today, he suddenly felt that he didn't want to let him know about these conspiracies and calculations, especially since he was the one in charge.
The next day, the base submitted the list of registered psychics. In addition to the mandatory A-level psychics, there were also tens of thousands of B-level psychics who registered, which was quite good compared to the overall number.
A team of S-level psychics was divided into two teams, with some forces left behind to deal with any events that might occur at the base at any time, while all the S-level psychics in the lower team went out with the team.
As for Class A and Class B, they were divided into two teams - after all, they were in Pingjin City, the distance was not close, and the base had to leave enough manpower in case of accidents.
According to their previous plan, Lu Weiyi and Zhuang Mingxu were supposed to be in charge of one side each, and the psychics were divided into three parts, with one team stationed at the base at all times, one team cleaning up zombies in the city center, and another team taking turns to rest. This was the most reasonable use of time.
But knowing that the morale of the people in the base was unsettled, Lu Weiyi was worried about the situation in the base, so he decided not to stay at the center anymore. He arranged all the psychics into two teams and rotated back and forth. Although this wasted some time, more weapons were invested to assist him, which allowed him to take care of the situation in the base a little more.
The first battle was led by Lu Weiyi, who brought brothers Li Zhuang, Wu Yue, Gu Qingyue, as well as Xiong Jie and Xu Yi.
Although they are all S-level, their combat capabilities are different. Their abilities are more inclined towards defense, and with Lu Weiyi taking care of them, they will be safer.
