Chapter 512: The Wounded Return

"Just like what we see in the movies, zombies will bite people, and after biting, the people will also become zombies. They become very strong, but their reactions are a bit slow."

"Don't be afraid. After I fell into a coma, my body went through some changes. I gained some strange... abilities, including the ability to control metal. This ability has helped me a lot along the way."

"What about you? Did you have any strange reactions in your body, like you felt some energy in your body or something different than usual?"

"Hmm? Xiaoyi, think about it carefully, okay?"

Zhuang Mingxu muttered and explained patiently, and did not forget to demonstrate his latest supernatural power in front of "Lu Weiyi".

He hadn't seen metal-related supernatural powers for a long time. Lu Weiyi felt that he had never seen this kind of tired but hopeful look on Zhuang Mingxu's face before.

At first, Lu Weiyi was still trying to figure out whether this was his memory or an illusion he had created with his mental power, but Zhuang Mingxu was so confident that he seemed to be able to hold up the sky at any time, which gradually made him lose his mind.

This was the first time he watched the two of them interact as a bystander. One of them reacted calmly as if he didn't care about anything, while the other had a tired face and gentle eyes.

Lu Weiyi himself didn't understand. It was like he was facing a piece of wood that would never respond. Where did he get so much patience?

It was not until "Lu Weiyi" got up and went to the bathroom that Zhuang Mingxu focused his attention on Lu Weiyi.

"Who are you?" After Lu Weiyi's face was disfigured, even after it was repaired, there were still some differences. If it was a living person, Zhuang Mingxu would definitely be able to immediately think of ten thousand possibilities of ulterior motives, but for a...

He asked casually, picking up the water cup on the table and throwing it at Lu Weiyi.

He didn't expect Zhuang Mingxu to attack him. While Lu Weiyi was distracted, the cup had already passed through his body and hit the glass. The force of the cup left spider-web-like cracks on the glass, and then it fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Can't touch!

Zhuang Mingxu's eyes were calm, without any remorse for plotting against someone, as if nothing had happened.

Ning Yuan's questioning voice came from below, and Zhuang Mingxu said calmly that it was okay, but his eyes were still staring at Lu Weiyi with scrutiny.

Lu Weiyi looked at Zhuang Mingxu in disbelief, and the two looked at each other silently. His strange and vigilant gaze suddenly made him feel aggrieved. Until the bathroom door opened, "Lu Weiyi" walked out with a calm expression.

The crackling sound in the room just now did not cause any emotional fluctuations in him at all.

While Lu Weiyi was still angry, Zhuang Mingxu had already embraced Lu Weiyi and walked him downstairs, asking in a low voice, "When was the last time Auntie came over? What have you eaten these days?"

What can a piece of wood say to you?

Lu Weiyi followed the two men angrily and went to the restaurant with them.

The servants had already cooked. The instant noodles with miscellaneous vegetables and meat rolls tasted quite good. Ning Yuan and the others had already started eating. In the corner of the crowd, Antonio was holding a steaming bowl of soup and whispering to his child in his arms to eat.

Lu Weiyi glanced around and sat in the main seat as usual. When he looked up, he saw Zhuang Mingxu paused in settling "Lu Weiyi" and sat next to him, putting some distance between them.

This kind of protection at any time and anywhere is appropriate when applied to oneself, but the feeling is completely different when applied to others.

When Lu Weiyi saw Zhuang Mingxu put a bowl of noodles in front of him, he was extremely dissatisfied. He met Zhuang Mingxu's gaze and reached out to grab it, but his hands went through the bowl and he got nothing.

On the contrary, this childish behavior made Zhuang Mingxu smile.

Lu Weiyi, who was not interested in watching a group of people eating, turned and walked towards the window. Under Zhuang Mingxu's surprised gaze, he passed through the wall and landed in the courtyard of the community. The height of several floors did not cause any impact on him.

There were body parts and bloodstains everywhere in the yard. Zombies would occasionally run out from a certain floor and be smashed beyond recognition by the people following them with various weapons.

Lu Weiyi looked in the direction of the crowd and saw the man leaning against the wall, smoking a cigarette and blowing smoke rings. Wasn't he their deputy captain?

The triangular knife in his hand has not been seen for a long time. Since his supernatural power level has become higher, they no longer need to be cautious in hand-to-hand combat, and the knife has been kept by him.

At this moment, blood was dripping from it, and the ground was wet. As if he could not smell the blood in the air, he watched boredly as several men opened their mouths and shouted silently while hitting the zombies again and again, causing blood and flesh to splatter everywhere.

"Li Zhuang!" Lu Weiyi stood in front of him and waved at him, but got no response. In the end, he watched him pass through his body and walk towards the depths of the community.

Lu Weiyi followed closely behind. After walking more than ten meters, the surrounding scene became more and more blurred, and finally became foggy.

At this moment he was sure that he was trapped in his memories.

Because his memory is limited, he has no idea about the remaining characters, so he only follows the plots that are familiar to him.

Lu Weiyi returned along the same path he came from and soon reappeared downstairs in the community. He looked up and, as expected, saw Zhuang Mingxu watching him from the window.

Cursing in his heart, Lu Weiyi paused in his steps and suddenly realized that he should not come back, but should find a way to leave here.

After walking around alone, with the help of his mental power, and struggling for a while, Lu Weiyi finally had to return to Zhuang Mingxu's side.

At this time, they had gathered their few supplies and agreed to leave the next day.

"You give me a very familiar feeling." Zhuang Mingxu observed him for a long time without asking directly.

Even though he knew that this was the familiar Zhuang Mingxu, this person's heart and eyes were on another person. Even if that was his former self, Lu Weiyi was unwilling to pay attention to him at this time.

He sat at the dining table, resting his head on his arms, thinking of all the ways he could leave.

"Are you dead?" Zhuang Mingxu sat opposite him and snapped his fingers at the dazed man.

"Are you hoping I die?" Lu Weiyi asked in an aggressive tone.

Zhuang Mingxu choked up at what he said, but his brows showed tolerance as if he was looking at a child having a tantrum. Even though the end of the world has suddenly arrived, he still has no fear of the future in his bones, and this essentially comes from his own strength.

"Are you afraid?" Lu Weiyi had never asked him whether he was afraid in his previous life.

Zhuang Mingxu shook his head with a gentle smile.

"Give up on him." Lu Weiyi glanced towards the bedroom on the second floor, where the person living in his own world had already returned to the room alone. "Give up on him, give up his family."

Zhuang Mingxu did not answer, but asked, "What if I don't?"

"Then you will die miserably." Lu Weiyi touched his cheek. Zhuang Mingxu did not dodge, but his hand still touched nothing. "You will die without a complete body."

It would be great if I could be reborn at this time.

He has superpowers and he is not autistic.

He will not hold on to an unrequited love until his death; he will not feel guilty or change his original destiny.

Zhuang Mingxu seemed to see through what he was thinking, and seemed to have a hidden meaning, "Then I must be happy with it."

Lu Weiyi stared at him for a long time, and finally looked away without saying a word.

With the escort of hundreds of psychics, the return flight arrived safely at the Kyoto base. Lu Xiao, who had estimated the time in advance, was already waiting at the airport.

The apron at Kyoto Airport is public, and the only ones capable of owning helicopters are the Zheng Family Guard and the three major Flame Teams.

Knowing that it was a helicopter returning from Laoshan, many members of the team were silently paying attention to this side. Before, Lu Xiao got angry and aimed his weapon directly at the entire Kyoto base. Although Mr. Zheng came out to ease the atmosphere, Lu Xiao did not withdraw his intention at all.

More than a dozen artillery pieces were still aiming at various locations in the base. Many teams below were complaining, but no one dared to take advantage of this bad luck. The Zheng family came forward and suffered a bad fate. The people of the escort team pretended nothing had happened from beginning to end. Other families did not have the strength to come forward, and even some teams with ulterior motives could not concentrate their forces even if they wanted to gather the strength of other families.

The cabin door opened, and the first person to come out was Gu Sheng, a psychic from the third team of the base army. The man in combat uniform saluted Lu Xiao who was waiting. Then Meng Huan was carried down, followed closely by the golden eagle.

Luo Feifei, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately brought the medical team forward to take over Meng Huan. She used her supernatural power to circle around his body and confirmed that he was not in danger of life. She breathed a sigh of relief, nodded towards Lu Xiao, and took everyone away early.

Lu Xiao patted the golden eagle's shoulder and sighed, "I'm glad you're back."

"Major General, they..." When Golden Eagle mentioned his dead comrades, his eyes instantly turned red.

"I already know. Let's go back and talk about it in detail later." At this time, there were countless psychics around who were trying to find out the news. Lu Xiao stopped him from continuing and looked at Gu Sheng, "Is the situation over there confirmed?"

"It has been confirmed that our base commander's supernatural power has entered the upgrade period and is about to be promoted to the critical period of SSS level. The psychic power has affected nearby teammates. Base Commander Zhuang has decided to send troops to station at the foot of Lao Mountain to wait for the base commander's successful promotion."

This was the line of speech they had discussed in advance, and Gu Sheng just took this opportunity to inform everyone.

"The first SSS mutant is about to appear, it's cause for celebration." Lu Xiao's face showed no worry at all. "Go back and tell Zhuang Mingxu that if there are not enough people, you can come to my side at any time to mobilize more."

"Okay, thank you Major General Lu," Gu Sheng thanked again and said, "Our base commander left a message before the upgrade, asking all S-level psychics to control their powers and try not to upgrade to SSS before he successfully upgrades."

This was the news that Li Zhuang remembered and asked Gu Sheng to convey before he left. Since Lu Weiyi reminded him, he would not say it for no reason. He must have discovered something, and he felt it necessary to let Lu Xiao and others know. As for what they think, it is none of their business.
