Chapter 473: Aftermath

"It's just a coincidence that they brought back a whole lamb. It should be almost roasted now. Let's have a good drink today, brothers."

"Hahaha... okay..." Zhao Qiang laughed, "This is what you said, you won't go home until you are drunk."

"Of course, of course."

Lu Weiyi flattered and chatted for a few words, then announced that dinner was ready.

A large group of people were grilling and drinking over a bonfire in the yard.

After three rounds, Zhao Qiang turned the topic to the dead healer. "It's not that I don't favor you, but everyone in the Morning Light team pointed out that it was your people who did it, and there are grudges between them. I'm really in a difficult situation, brother."

"Brother Zhao, we can't listen to other people's one-sided words, right?" Lu Weiyi also drank a lot, but he still knew the mission for tonight. He took Zhao Qiang's hand and patted it, "They are all from the same team, they will definitely side with their own people."

Zhao Qiang lowered his eyes and glanced at the earth-type S-grade purification crystal core in his hand, and swallowed his saliva in a very cowardly manner. He always knew that high-level psychics must have high-quality crystal cores in their hands, but he still didn't expect that an S-grade crystal core could be given to him so easily.

Especially the earth element that is so perfect.

Zhao Qiang touched it greedily, and pushed it back into Lu Weiyi's hand extremely slowly. Seeing this scene, Zhuang Mingxu frowned and flashed away.

If an S-grade crystal core can't satisfy him, then his appetite is really too big.

What's more, Zhuang Mingxu believed in Xu Sa's principles. If any evidence was left behind, he would definitely inform them as soon as possible and find a solution. Now he just asked them to come forward to clear their grievances. Lu Weiyi's move was extremely generous.

"We are all brothers. I know that you are good at training your subordinates," Zhao Qiang said halfway in a high-sounding manner, and his eyes suddenly turned to look at Xu Yi who was sitting not far away, "Our Healer Xu has not made any progress in his supernatural powers in Kyoto for several years, but now that it is in your hands, this ability has made it beyond the reach of all the healing departments."

When Lu Weiyi saw him confiscate the crystal core, he didn't react to what he meant for a moment. It was only then that Zhuang Mingxu suddenly remembered that the healing system in Zhao Qiang's hands was about to face the problem of upgrading, and he understood what he was planning.

Nowadays, the purification crystal core is open to all teams, and with the assistance of instruments that can detect the energy of zombies in the body, safety can basically be ensured if you want to upgrade safely. However, this safety does not include the healing system.

The upgrade of the healing system itself is more difficult than other abilities, and purifying crystal cores alone cannot fully satisfy the need. Zhao Qiang wants to take advantage of this incident to let them help the healing system in his team.

"Okay, okay. Lao Zhao, you've also said it. We are all brothers. Although we can't afford the crystal cores for upgrading the healing system, it's not a problem for us to help take a look or two." Zhuang Mingxu took the lead in answering for Lu Weiyi.

After his reminder, Lu Weiyi understood what he meant and immediately said it was no problem.

After getting the answer he wanted, the smile on Zhao Qiang's face became much more sincere, "Although our current detection technology is not as good as before, it does not mean that we don't have it. The people in the Morning Light Team really took it for granted."

"Since you are not convinced, I can only force an autopsy to examine the cause of death. An S-level mutant can't be framed by others at will. The compensation paid by the Jiaoyang Team is not enough to teach people a lesson. These people are really willing to do anything to extort benefits." Zhao Qiang shook his head and sighed.

"Brother, we have cooperated several times and even fought off zombies side by side. You have to take charge and clear my people's name." Lu Weiyi knew that the matter was settled when he heard it, and poured him a glass of wine.

Zhao Qiang clinked glasses with him and took a sip of half a glass of white wine. "Don't worry, I'll ask them to investigate it thoroughly. They will definitely not delay your departure."

"Thank you very much, Brother Zhao." Lu Weiyi poured him another glass of wine. Zhao Qiang did not hesitate and immediately called his men to ask them to perform an autopsy on the body and thoroughly investigate the cause of death.

The other side responded respectfully, and Zhao Qiang put his arm on Lu Weiyi's shoulder, "How is it? Brother is nice, right?"

"That's enough. You're just like me, my brother." Lu Weiyi clinked glasses with him again.

Zhuang Mingxu handed him a few slices of freshly cut meat and said, "Come, eat it while it's hot. It will taste smelly if it gets cold."

After the matter was settled, Zhuang Mingxu immediately took over and talked about the latest weapons research, drawing Zhao Qiang's attention to him.

Zhao Qiang, who had drunk a lot, was persuaded and forced to drink by Zhuang Mingxu. After a while, his tongue became bigger and he put his hand on Zhuang Mingxu's shoulder and called him brother.

It was the first time that Lu Weiyi drank so much, so it was not convenient for him to leave early, so he could only stay with him. During this time, Xu Sa must have known what was going on, and he quietly handed him a bowl of sobering soup.

It was nearly twelve o'clock when Zhao Qiang was finally drunk and fell down. Zhuang Mingxu was worried, so he asked Ye Jia and Yu Mengchu to personally hand him over to the guards.

"Drunk?" After Zhuang Mingxu took over, Lu Weiyi stopped drinking. After drinking a bowl of sobering soup, he became sober. He supported Zhuang Mingxu, who was barely able to walk steadily, and asked him in a low voice.

"My eyes are a little dizzy," Zhuang Mingxu said, trying hard to maintain his sanity, "I have to prepare something for you."

"Gun, bring a gun..."

"I'll clean up myself later." Lu Weiyi carried the person towards the bedroom, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a timid figure approaching.

"Hey, Lu Xiaoyi, I asked someone to prepare some sobering soup. Give Brother Mingxu a bowl. You can have some too." Xu Sa already knew that Zhao Qiang came here because of him. Although he didn't know what Lu Weiyi had agreed to for the time being, the fact that he was able to send him away safely only meant that he got what he wanted.

He was in a state of emotional confusion at the time, and when Liu Rui stepped forward, he only cared about having someone to rely on and wanted to avoid it, forgetting that Liu Rui had no experience in handling aftermath.

I think it was to give them an excuse to change their testimony.

Lu Weiyi had a paralyzed face and said nothing. He put Zhuang Mingxu back on the bed and fed him the soup that Xu Sa brought in.

Zhuang Aiyi had already taken Taotao to wash up and go to bed early. The two little girls occupied most of the bed, sleeping in a mess.

Xu Sa didn't dare to offend Lu Weiyi at this time, so he put down the hangover soup and picked up the two children in a servile manner, "I'll take care of them to sleep, you just take care of Brother Mingxu."

Lu Weiyi nodded and reminded, "Leave it here. We'll gather at six in the morning. Hurry back and take a nap. Don't be late."

Seeing that he looked tired, Xu Sa felt a little guilty. His good friend had been a pampered little prince since he was young, carefree and comfortable. Now he had to worry about everything in a base, and Xu Sa was still causing trouble for him.

"Go to bed quickly." Lu Weiyi saw his expression and knew what he was thinking. He pushed him out of the bedroom and closed the door with a wave of his hand.

Thinking about Lu Weiyi's departure, Zhuang Mingxu woke up after sleeping for a few hours even if he was drunk, and got up to organize the things he might need for this trip.

Worried about their diet while away for a few days, the kitchen prepared meals for the entire night.

In the villa, apart from the servants who cook and Ye Jia and Yu Mengchu who keep watch at night, there is only Lin Mo, a soldier who is used to getting up early and coming back from jogging. He is sweating all over in the hot summer and looks particularly manly.

"Don't you have a partner?" Zhuang Mingxu watched him wipe the sweat off his crew cut with a towel, and see the bulging muscles on his arms, and he touched his arm inadvertently.

"No. Commander, do you want to introduce me to someone? I don't have high requirements. I just want a female who is about my age or younger." Lin Mo didn't know how long he had been talking about this. He just blurted it out without even thinking.

"Hasn't the base organized several get-togethers?" Feeling the muscles in his arms a little loose, Zhuang Mingxu tugged at his sleeves slightly as if nothing had happened.

Lin Mo looked bitter, "Their eyes are all focused on one group of people. Even Bai Miao, who hasn't even fully grown his hair, is being chased by women. No one likes people like us who are so manly."

"You may not believe it, but there was someone who secretly asked Brother Xiong, relying on the fact that she was a woman, and wanted to interfere, telling him that she could give birth to a child for him." Lin Mo was speechless, "I just feel surprised. Brother Xiong and his wife have been together until that age, which should be enough to prove their love, yet they still want to interfere."

"I never thought that having children was so easy," Lin Mo sighed, "I never went to any subsequent social gatherings."

"Everyone in Team One has a position in the base and has high salaries. They are definitely not there for the sake of romance, they just want to make their lives better." Zhuang Mingxu can understand the thoughts of women today.

Capable women can live well on their own, and some, like Ling Shengge, can support several men to play with. However, those who do not have special powers or are not outstanding either have a difficult life or can only depend on others.

Since there is no difference in the results, why not find someone with a background.

As for the three moral values, who cares about those when people are almost unable to survive.

"I understand, but I still want to find someone to live a stable life with me." Lin Mo pinched the clothes on his chest with two fingers to cool down, "If I really can't find one, I might as well learn from you guys and digest it within the team."

He touched his face, turned his head to look at the mirror hanging in the living room, and thought to himself, "This face can be called handsome, right?"

"It depends on whether you want to be the top or the bottom." Ye Jia, who was on night watch, came in from the door, looked at him and teased him.

"What's the difference?"

Ye Jia touched his chin and thought for a while, "It seems not."

He walked around Lin Mo twice, looked him up, and finally sighed, "Forget it, Mao. No matter if it's the top or the bottom, they will immediately wilt when they see your face."

"Fuck!" Lin Mo cursed and quickly chased after Ye Jia, "Come here, come here, I'll let you see what a gifted person is."

Ye Jia walked around twice quickly until Zhuang Mingxu came out of the kitchen with a tray of various dishes. He immediately raised his hand to surrender, but said without losing face, "You should at least take into account the appearance of our two base commanders."

Before Lin Mo could say anything, Zhuang Mingxu spoke first, "YY Lu Weiyi, be careful or I'll beat you up."
