Chapter 444: Encounter by Chance

"Ye Jia, I've already hinted at you, stop, stop, why are you giving cards to your opponent again?"

"You blinked, and I thought you wanted me to play a card?"

"Blink, doesn't that mean it's paused? Doesn't that mean it won't come out?"

"Is that... what you mean?"

"Of course, everyone knows that you are really..." After a few rounds, there was a mountain of crystal cores in front of Bai Mei. Lu Weiyi's face turned red with anger. He pointed at Ye Jia with a trembling finger and said, "You are a wimp and you are addicted!"

Ye Jia looked innocent and confused, with an expression of self-doubt on his face, and everyone around him couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Puff..."

"Hahaha……"

Yu Mengchu finally commented, "It turns out that the only thing that can defeat magic is magic."

Amidst the laughter and joy, the car gradually approached the area where zombies were densely populated.

After stopping playing around, everyone started a new round of battle.

Before this trip, they brought weapons in advance in preparation for clearing out the zombies. Zombies were everywhere, and with enough crystal cores, the team kept firing.

Compared to other teams who are now using crystal cores slowly and are reluctant to consume their superpowers, the Unique Team does not have such concerns. Basically all team members are using their superpowers to fight and constantly absorbing crystal cores to replenish them.

Lu Weiyi was no exception this time. It had been two years since he successfully upgraded, and now it was time for another sprint.

The desperate posture infected everyone and made them see the gap between them. In the next few days, basically no one touched the weapons. Everyone was fighting desperately using their special powers.

Every day when they took a break, their sweat was mixed with blood, dirt and foul smell, as if they had returned from hell. They were so tired that they didn’t even have the energy to take a shower, and most of the time they just lay on the ground and fell asleep.

Fortunately, there was a water-related psychic who helped to simply rinse it off, so that people couldn't avoid the smell even in their dreams.

After walking and stopping for a while, they saw that the time was almost up and they met a team from the Pingjin base who was also heading to Kyoto. Compared to their simple personnel, the other side had families with them.

Each team was on guard against each other, fearing that they would miss out on useful information. They also all wanted to take a look at the development of other bases. As a result, they could not agree on the voluntary principle.

The team's personnel and supplies were in a mess, and there were more than a dozen cars alone. When they met the other side, they were being attacked by mutated locusts. The dense locusts were like the locust plague in the movies, covering the sky and the sun.

If someone was not careful and got caught up in it, he would become a bloody corpse in a short while. At this time, no one could care about each other's supplies. They couldn't even cooperate with each other and were only concerned with escaping separately.

"It's tragic. Fortunately, our base is united." Xu Sa told everyone what he saw through the telescope, sighed, and asked, "Should we help?"

"Help," Zhuang Mingxu said quickly without waiting for Lu Weiyi to speak, "We are not sure in which direction the locusts are moving. This season is the critical period for the growth of crops in our base. If they fly to our side, the extent of damage to our base this year is self-evident."

"Didn't we bring flamethrowers? That should be effective." Zhuang Mingxu looked at the place not far away through a telescope. "Fire-type psychics are attacking, earth-type and water-type psychics are blocking the road. Don't give the mutated locusts a chance to leave. Water-type psychics should also pay attention to fire prevention and don't let the fire spread out of control."

Lu Weiyi took out the flamethrower from the space and distributed it to his teammates, and briefly instructed them on how to use it, "The wood and metal types stay here, and the rest of you follow me."

He took a dozen people and ran away first.

The flamethrower at the base is one of Zhao Changming's latest crystal core weapons developed. Since Zhao Qianqian was arranged in the laboratory, there have been no discordant voices in the weapons research and development center. Zhao Changming no longer has any temper. He has aged a lot in just one year.

This time, he used this as a condition to give Zhao Qianqian a chance to live in the base again, and he also brought the performance of the weapons to a level beyond imagination.

Seeing more than a dozen people appear, some of them quickly ran in this direction to seek shelter.

The people who fell behind saw reinforcements and their depressed morale improved a lot.

"Everyone get down," Lu Weiyi ordered through a loudspeaker, "Shooters get ready, three, two, one."

"shooting!"

Countless flames sprayed in the direction where the locusts were flying, with crackling sounds as they fell to the ground, along with the smell of burning and the trees that caught fire in the high temperature.

Almost immediately after the jet was fired, the surrounding woods immediately caught fire. The breeze carried the sparks in all directions, igniting a large area wherever they landed, and in the blink of an eye, the fire began to spread.

Even with advance preparation, the speed is still a bit fast.

"Captain?" Gu Qingyue didn't know whether he should stop the mutant locusts from escaping or control the fire first.

"Continue." Lu Weiyi watched calmly and patted the shoulders of the three fire-type ability users. Liu Rui, Yu Mengchu and Chen Xing were responsible for controlling the fire in one direction each, and the last direction...

"Water-based psychics in the team, go put out the fire." Tang Bai used his own water-based psychic to control the other direction.

Seeing this, Lu Weiyi silently put away the rocket launcher he had taken out.

There were so many mutated locusts that they were not discovered until they got closer to this side, but the wildfire spread over a large area, which also helped burn part of it, until it gradually became scattered small teams. The group then put away the sprayers and started to put out the fire.

Without the threat of mutated locusts, Tang Bai immediately gathered all the remaining psychics in the Pingjin base together and finally helped.

"Done." Lu Weiyi reported to Zhuang Mingxu that he was safe, and saw Xu Sa and other teammates happily rushing into the forest that was burned into charcoal ash. Not long after, they came back with various small animals that were so black that their species could not be identified.

"Lunch is ready," Lin Mo said, leaning forward to smell it, and accidentally touched it, getting his nose covered in black ash.

"Captain Lu, you saved me again." Tang Bai's hair was slightly curled up by the flames, and he walked forward to talk to Lu Weiyi.

"Yeah," Lu Weiyi nodded seriously, "Just take out the crystal core."

Ye Jia, who had just arrived, was so shocked by these straightforward words that he staggered and almost fell into the cigarette ash on the ground.

He seemed to remember clearly that Commander Zhuang said that he took action to prevent the mutant locusts from attacking their base. How could this be possible...

Seeing the other side recruiting several teams to skillfully extract the crystal cores, Ye Jia suddenly felt like he had gotten the idea.

"We've been troubled by mutated animals recently, and we haven't been able to clean up the zombies properly, so these are the only ones we can give out." Tang Bai gathered five thousand crystal cores and handed them to Lu Weiyi, apologetically.

"It's okay, I'll make it up to you later." Lu Weiyi didn't know what being polite meant at all, and he blocked Tang Bai's words. He really wanted to scold him and say that he had drilled into the crystal core's eye.

Then I heard Lu Weiyi say lightly, "Seeing how straightforward you were last time, I brought people to rescue you this time when I saw you were in danger."

Tang Bai immediately felt that he seemed to be able to take out the crystal core again, "We have cooperated so many times, I can't lack you no matter who I am".

No one who had not had much contact with Lu Weiyi would have thought that he had an innocent face but could fool people with just his words. They were all stunned.

They were still whispering until they brought the remaining people from the Pingjin base back to their RV.

"Captain Tang" Zhuang Mingxu got out of the car holding the child and greeted the visitor.

When "Captain of the Village" Tang Bai saw that they were still with their two children, he didn't know whether to say that they were very skilled and brave, or whether he should feel ashamed of himself and had to separate from his daughter.

"Hello, dad," Zhuang Aiyi greeted people openly.

"Listen, dad, hello!" Taotao followed suit.

"Hey, hello Aiyi Taotao." Tang Bai stretched out his hand and took out two bags of packaged biscuits from the space and handed them over. "These are the small cookies made by Tingting's mother. I give them to you to try. If you like them, come and find Tingting to play with them later."

Zhuang Aiyi looked at Zhuang Mingxu, waited for him to nod, then stretched out his hand, "Thank you, Dad."

This is not a place to rest. Several familiar team leaders from the Pingjin base came over to say hello, and the only team immediately prepared to leave.

Tang Bai hurriedly asked if he could go together.

"Okay, but we are traveling day and night, I don't know if you can keep up." The remaining distance was not far and they were all in the same direction. Lu Weiyi didn't mind the other party taking advantage of him.

Even if Tang Bai can't keep up, he will find a way to catch up. Compared with being with other teams, he still prefers to be with them. At least the psychics are strong and don't bother to plot against them.

With Tang Bai behind them, the other teams followed suit and lined up in a row. Even if they were harassed by mutant animals, they refused to fall behind.

It took nearly a month for the convoy to finally arrive at the Kyoto base.

Due to the frequent cooperation in the past two years, Lu Weiyi and others have temporary residence permits issued by the Kyoto base, and they can pass directly after inspection. However, two ordinary people, Zhuang Mingxu and Zhuang Aiyi, have to undergo inspection and wait for several hours before they can enter.

By the time we finished our work and went inside, it was almost evening.

Cong Qing, who came to pick people up, saw people from the Pingjin base and took them to the Unified Guesthouse.

"There are a total of 48 bases that can be contacted nationwide now, referring to bases with a population of over 100,000. There are a total of 26 bases that have made reservations. Eighteen teams have arrived now, and more are arriving every day," Cong Qing gave them a brief introduction on the way.

"Is there any team you know?" Xu Sa asked.

Cong Qing handed them the list of teams that had arrived. Xu Sa took it first, glanced at it, then handed it to Lu Weiyi with a laugh, "Hope Base, Ping'an Base, Anjiang Base, it's really a gathering of old friends."

"Do you think they will recognize you as an old friend?" Zhuang Mingxu teased.

After all, every base they had encountered before had never been cheated by them, and by now the other party must have seen through the scam.

"Of course." Xu Sa looked at Lu Weiyi, the only SS mutant in the country, and the only base that had researched and developed purified crystal cores. He was too busy trying to curry favor with her, so who would be so blind as to make trouble for her?
