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 715: Leading the Zombies
With the little girl's situation in mind, the atmosphere in the team became even more depressing, and everyone became more vigilant. When they saw someone looking at them, they would immediately be on guard.
Once you enter the central city, it is completely different from the outskirts. Although the roads here look dirty as if they have never been cleaned, there is no sense of carnival at the end of life.
It was quiet everywhere, so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there. Only the vague peeping from the dark made their presence known.
"Everyone here is already a high-level psychic. They will act very carefully and will not show their heads rashly. They will also hunt at night," Zhao Gang said and asked Lu Weiyi, "Do we still want to watch?"
Lu Weiyi swept his mental power over and shook his head.
A fixed living pattern has been formed here, and no one will break it easily. He looked at Wu Yue, "What do you think should be done?"
Wu Yue hadn't recovered from the conflict in front of him yet. He was stunned for a moment when he heard his question. After a while, he said, "...kill him."
He said with difficulty, "There is no one here anymore."
"So...should we take action?" someone asked.
No one answered. After all, they were unable to massacre so many people.
"Even if there are not many people here, there are at least thousands of them now. Are you sure you can rely on you..." Zhao Gang looked at the group of shameless people with suspicion. They seemed to have just reacted and looked at Lu Weiyi.
"I remember going southeast is Panshui's original base. They were attacked by mutant animals there and had to flee here," Wu Yue suddenly asked.
"Yes, the distance is not far," Zhao Gang replied, "This side is closer to Lao Mountain. The closer to Lao Mountain, the fewer mutant animals there are. Luo Qi has not found groups of animals appearing here, so he decided to build the base here temporarily."
"How far is it?" Wu Yue asked.
"More than ten kilometers."
"Let's lure the zombies over here and let them fight against them," Wu Yue asked Lu Weiyi, "The lost city will be taken back by humans one day. They have eaten the flesh and blood of their compatriots, so let them make their final contribution to the living."
Lu Weiyi also thought about the situation at the Nanzuo base. That kind of desolate and uninhabited place will always return to human hands one day in the future. By then, both zombies and mutated animals and plants will be their enemies. So it will make no difference whether to solve them now or later.
"Can".
As soon as Lu Weiyi agreed, Wu Yue immediately said that he could go and lure the zombies over, and most of the people in the team were willing to go along.
"I can't go." Lu Weiyi had to support the mental barrier here to ensure that no one could escape.
"There are so many of us, we will just attract the zombies. As long as there is no conflict, nothing will happen."
"Then you be careful, it's two hours at most."
"rest assured".
Lu Weiyi only left Zhao Gang with him, and let Wu Yue take the rest away.
Watching them leave the base safely, Lu Weiyi was not interested in seeing the situation at the base. He had seen countless tragic situations in his previous life, so there was no need to relive them again.
Lu Weiyi found a big tree in the corner, sat on the branch with his legs swinging, and waited quietly for them to return.
Zhao Gang didn't have much contact with Lu Weiyi. Although he looked like he was easy to bully, he was not arrogant enough to think that someone who could build a base on his own would be someone who could be manipulated by others.
At first, he stayed at a distance to be on guard and was unaware of the danger around him. While Wang Bing and his group were still not back, he moved slightly towards Lu Weiyi and asked politely, "Captain Lu, are we going back to Yuebanwan Base later?"
"I'll go back after I finish dealing with things here." Lu Weiyi's mental power detected that many people were moving in the central city area, like a group of ants moving quickly in different directions. Fearing that there might be unusual movements, he controlled his mental power to follow them.
"Then...about the base..." Zhao Gang licked his lips, as if wondering whether he should ask.
Seeing that the last point where those people gathered were the people who had left here, Lu Weiyi was bored and retracted his mental strength. Only then did he have time to look at Zhao Gang. Thinking of Zhao Gang's situation that Zhou He had specifically mentioned to him, "You want to ask Zhao Lei?"
"Yes, yes, Er Lei hasn't woken up yet. Mo Tiantian also checked on him but found no signs of external injuries." This is also what Zhao Gang is worried about. If there is a problem with the brain, it was difficult to completely overcome it with medical science before the end of the world, and it would be even more difficult to completely cure it now.
"I can't give you any guarantees, but..." Lu Weiyi didn't try to make promises, "The healing psychics in Yueban Bay are the strongest in the country. If they can't do it, other bases will be even less likely to do it."
"The base provides subsidies for soldiers injured during missions, as well as a complete series of post-treatment allowances. Even if he never wakes up, as long as the Yuebanwan base exists, he will have a place to stay."
When Lu Weiyi implemented it, he just felt that he was giving them a guarantee and didn't think much about it. Now he feels proud when he talks about it.
Looking at Zhao Gang's excited muscles trembling like convulsions, he actually felt a little embarrassed.
"Thank you, thank you," Zhao Gang repeated in a low voice, "Now I can rest in peace even if I die."
Lu Weiyi didn't know how to respond to this. They were not familiar with each other, and Zhao Gang's death would not happen in a short time. However, Zhuang Mingxu kept them there to risk their lives, and no one could guarantee how long they could live.
Neither of them spoke until Hua Rui, who had left first, came towards them with an old man, a young boy and a child. The woman following behind him was hunched over, thin and with bright eyes. She was obviously different from those weathered old people. Just from the way she walked, one could tell that she was a trained person.
The boy standing next to her looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and was alert. On his chest was a cloth bag holding a child who looked to be about one year old. The little girl only had a pair of sparkling eyes showing, and her curiously stretched out little hand was nervously pressed back by the boy.
"Captain Lu, this is my mother..." Hua Rui spoke, meeting Lu Weiyi's clear eyes, and changed the words that had been discussed in advance as if uncontrollably, "Cousin, my brother-in-law and my daughter."
As soon as the words came out, the woman next to her looked at Hua Rui vigilantly, and then looked at Lu Weiyi, and her muscles tensed up.
Hua Rui took a deep breath and reached out to hold her down, "We used to be from the Fenghe Team at Panshui Base."
"Xiao Rui!" the woman scolded. Hua Rui shook her head at her and continued, "Before Luo Qi destroyed the Qian family, we had always lived a good life and had never eaten the flesh and blood of people with special powers. After that..."
"I am the only one who has used the flesh and blood crystal core of a psychic to upgrade. My cousin is an ordinary person. My brother-in-law's crystal core was obtained from the zombies I hunted. My daughter's superpowers have never absorbed crystal cores."
"This is all my weakness. As long as they can live in the Yuebanwan base, I am willing to work for you."
After Hua Rui finished speaking, the three of them looked at Lu Weiyi, and saw that Lu Weiyi's eyes wandered between her and the child, and asked, "When did you awaken your superpowers?"
"The second year of the apocalypse" The stamens are inexplicable.
"Where's her father?"
"After the apocalyptic earthquake."
This was the first time Lu Weiyi heard about a child born to two people with superpowers. He habitually looked to the side to ask Zhuang Mingxu, then he remembered that he didn't come with them.
"Okay, you guys can go with us."
The three of them couldn't believe the easy agreement and didn't know how to react for a moment. Before they could ask more, Wang Bing came over with a little girl who looked underage and was hugging his arm tightly.
There was a gentle look on Wang Bing's face that had never been revealed before. He spoke to the girl in a low voice, comforting her from time to time. When he came to Lu Weiyi, he didn't introduce himself to her in detail. He just said, "I want to take her away."
Lu Weiyi responded, but Zhao Gang asked another question about her special abilities and diet.
After knowing that the other party had no special abilities and had never eaten human flesh, he stepped aside.
As the two returned, others also came back one after another. Some of them brought their families with them, and only those who were sure that there was no human flesh to eat were left behind.
And more people brought their own hidden supplies. Without space, they were filled with so many bags of all sizes that they could be buried. It must be said that the high-level officials did bring them material things.
With the return of the ten of them, the people in the central area were also alarmed. They ran around and looked over here curiously. Some people who were slightly familiar with them wanted to inquire about the news, but were pushed away by them. However, it didn't take long before someone discovered that the entire base was completely sealed off and they could not leave at all.
More than an hour later, Wu Yue and other members of Yuebanwan lured half of the city's zombies from different directions, along with a group of mutant wolves.
Yun Bai, who had lured them here, had deep bloody scratches on his body from the animal's claws, and an excited and proud look on his face, "Didn't they say they were attacked by a pack of wolves? I'm trying to make their words come true."
He was talking about the excuse he used to trick Zhou He into leaving.
Now he has given it the chance to fulfill its promise.
Lu Weiyi did not judge whether it was right or wrong, but gave each person a loudspeaker and asked them to notify everyone in the base that zombies and mutant animals were coming.
This place is not far from Laoshan. The mutant animals we usually encounter are not of low level, but their numbers are small. Occasionally, they come here to hunt and only catch a few unlucky ones. No one will take it seriously. As for zombies - this is an uninhabited place where there are no people, so there is no way there would be zombies.
When people were suddenly informed of the presence of zombies, no one here reacted until they saw the stench they remembered spreading in the air and the bone-deep roar of fear began to sound not far away.
What Zhao Gang said was right. Ninety-nine percent of the people here were people with special powers, and those who could survive the fighting among humans had completely different abilities and adaptability. Except for those who didn't react at first, everyone immediately began to use their special powers.
The difference is that some choose to fight zombies, while others...
