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 773 Energy Release Potion
Lu Weiyi looked embarrassed as if he had been exposed, "How is that possible? I just wanted to see if the plants in the pots needed water. How could I have poured out the medicine?"
Zhuang Aiyi just watched him defend himself without refutation. After a while, Lu Weiyi could no longer speak. He frowned, picked up the medicine bowl with a bitter look, took a deep breath, and drank it in two gulps.
"Dad is so awesome." Zhuang Aiyi stuffed a candy into his mouth like coaxing a child, then took the bowl and went out.
Li Zhuang wanted to laugh at the scene, but he was afraid of getting into trouble and becoming cannon fodder, so he held back his laughter and told the story of what had just happened.
"It's OK as long as they have their own things to do and don't get into conflicts." Lu Weiyi didn't care at all about what these people did.
"I'm ready for a fight between the two sides," Li Zhuang said with regret. Seeing Lu Weiyi looking at him with a "are you a pervert" look, he explained, "This is how the relationship between men is."
Lu Weiyi expressed his incomprehension and refusal to participate, “Remember to ask them to go back for the physical examination on time.”
Li Zhuang gestured OK and said, "According to the time, they should have arrived in Kyoto without any accidents. I don't know what the situation is like over at Lieyan."
Lu Weiyi shook his head, "Any news about my uncle and Wu Yue?"
"Not yet, but..." Li Zhuang chuckled, "You will not believe that the three of them met each other."
"?" Lu Weiyi.
"Major General Lu, Wu Yue and Zheng Yi," Li Zhuang said, "the sharp rise in temperature has caused the previous floods to dry up quickly. They found the message left by Wu Yue downstream in the direction you mentioned. They said that the three of them would go to the base to look for an energy corrector later."
"The remaining locations have not been found yet, but the people are indeed safe. Ning Yuan has already issued notices at various bases, using ten newly developed energy-releasing potions as bargaining chips."
"Energy release potion?"
"It's the potion that controls the energy of zombies. Haven't you seen the effects yet?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head and said, "Maybe in two days." All his energy these days has been focused on the space transfer channel, and Ning Yuan and his team are still basically taking care of the base affairs.
After handing the map in his hand to Li Zhuang, Lu Weiyi said, "This is the specific map of the Mountain God Base and the development area."
"The plan is to have those with earth-type abilities go first. There are mountains on both sides, and the entire base is located in the heart of the mountains. Last year, the entire Laoshan was hit by a hurricane, and these two mountains just happened to block the hurricane. They have few people and are not very professional in defense."
"This terrain is relatively safe, but it is also easy to break through," Lu Weiyi pointed to the towering peaks on both sides, "There are many high-level mutant animals over there. Now the gap between the two mountains is small, and few mutant birds fall into it. If it is opened up, a complete defense system will be needed."
"How do you think we should deploy our defenses? And how to settle the personnel after we move to the base."
Their base is not full of ordinary people. There are people with special powers in the base. If life there is too comfortable, it is easy for them to cause trouble. What they need to consider is how to keep these people busy and stimulate their desires so that they have the possibility of progress.
Li Zhuang looked at the fully proportioned blueprint and constructed the shape of the entire base in his mind. "Have you decided where to develop it?"
"No, we are still not sure whether there is any impact of radiation over there, or whether ordinary people are really normal or have not been discovered. These all need to be confirmed by testing." However, there is too short a supply of scientific researchers, and Lu Weiyi did not dare to let them take it over without being sure of the space channel.
"Let's confirm it first," Li Zhuang pointed to the towering peaks on both sides and the narrow skylight in the middle, "If it's because the open-air area is small, then we will dig on both sides and leave the top alone."
"If there are other reasons, we can relocate the entire mountain. After all, we can tell from the appearance that it is a place with poor lighting. In addition, we also need people to monitor the growth conditions of plants there and check whether they are affected by radiation."
That being said, it might take quite some time for them to evacuate. Lu Weiyi sighed heavily, leaning back in his chair and stretching his arms like a pancake, "What a hassle."
"This is troublesome. This is still a controllable aspect. As for the uncontrollable aspects..." Li Zhuang looked at Lu Weiyi, "How are you going to convince the people from each team to leave?"
Ordinary people in the base have been living on the subsistence level in recent years. Their lives can only be said to be okay, but they basically have no major storage. In this case, they can only follow the base, and there is still a glimmer of hope, but the teams in the base are different.
To put it bluntly, they are just partners. They live here and make corresponding contributions to Yuebanwan. Yuebanwan guarantees their rights and safety. It is a mutually beneficial relationship.
They have every right to refuse matters involving base relocation.
"Let them go and take a look themselves when the time comes. If they really don't want to, then they can stay here."
"?" Li Zhuang was surprised, "Is there anyone left here?"
"If we stay, who can guarantee that the place will always be suitable for living in the future, and..." Lu Weiyi thought of what Zhuang Mingxu had just told him recently, "There are no natural rivers passing through there, and it is an arid area. If the temperature is unfriendly in the future, there will probably be a crisis of water shortage."
“Even people with water-related abilities can’t solve it?” Li Zhuang raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he had heard of water shortage in a place in the six years since the apocalypse.
"To put it simply, the principle of supernatural powers is to use things in nature for one's own benefit. In the absence of water in nature, where can water-based supernatural powers gather water elements for their own use?"
Their base is located on the seashore, and they have never considered these things. "Is there no solution?"
"It was a big problem before the apocalypse, how could it be so easy to break through after the apocalypse." The closer they got to the end, the more things Lu Weiyi found they were facing. "We may need to transfer water in the future, so the base here cannot be lost."
"Even if no team stays, I will leave a part of the garrison. We need to closely monitor the various disasters here and maintain a certain contact with each base. Completely cutting off contact is tantamount to pushing us into a frog in a well."
Li Zhuang nodded in agreement. The two discussed for a while but could not come to any conclusion. Everything had to wait for the results of the physical examination of this group of people before making a decision.
"Looking at the terrain, it shouldn't be easy to grow crops over there, right?" After not seeing the sun for a long time, the plants that can grow are still limited. Li Zhuang's fingers kept tapping on the table. Although his special abilities are enough to survive anywhere, it is still more reassuring to have a comfortable environment.
Agriculture is not possible, and as for hunting, the mutated animals are of high level, so it is difficult for even the lower-level psychics, let alone ordinary people.
"With so many people, is there a continuous source of income?" Li Zhuang thought of the mutated seafood they caught in the afternoon.
"In the short term, I can only rely on the base's storage and figure out what can be planted as soon as possible. Zhuang Mingxu has temporarily provided me with the machine model." Lu Weiyi rummaged on the messy table for a long time, and finally took out a piece of paper in the corner, looked at it and said, "Konjac".
"It seems that people used this thing to lose weight in the past?" Li Zhuang recalled the information about this plant, "This plant seems to be low in calories and not nutritious enough. If you eat it for a long time..."
Not a good choice.
However, what they are considering now is only food and clothing, so nutrition is not a consideration. "Okay, let's try it on a large scale for the time being."
"Today, Zhao Gang sent back all the mutant animals he captured. I took them for testing, and it was found that some of them were indeed affected. One value in their bodies was higher than normal, just like the affected humans. But the specific symptoms are yet to be seen, and I'm not sure what will happen after they are eaten. I had someone pick them out first and prepare some separately."
There is no food crisis in their base yet, but the consumption is obvious, and nothing can be wasted if it is not certain whether it is good or bad.
"Okay, what are the various teams in the base doing every day? Let them go hunting too, and the base will take it."
Li Zhuang agreed, and when talking about the future operation of the base, the two of them frowned at the same time.
While Lu Weiyi was busy at Yueban Bay, Lu Xiao, Wu Yue and the other two, after going through many hardships, finally found signs of the existence of the first base.
After the heavy rain stopped, the weather gradually began to heat up, and the surrounding area once again became a paradise for mutant animals. The three of them had almost no time to rest. They were either being attacked by mutant animals or on the way to being attacked by mutant animals.
Especially the lack of sense of direction made them take many detours.
After a few days, the three of them were in a visibly miserable state. When they saw the obvious city wall ahead, they almost cried for joy.
"Which base is this?" The three did not rush forward, but hid after confirming it.
"We don't even know where we are now, how can we determine which base it is, especially..." Zheng Yi looked at Lu Xiao, "Didn't you say that most of the bases have been relocated? Do you know the distribution after the relocation?"
Among the three, only Lu Xiao knew something about the current situation, while Wu Yue and Zheng Yi were completely in the dark.
"I roughly know the location, but I've never been there." The person on duty on the city wall is obviously a person with special abilities, and his duty seems to be very strict. The three of them may not be able to enter if they go there.
Lu Xiao looked at Wu Yue, "Can you use your supernatural powers to explore underground? See if there is an underground city? We can go past the entrance and use our supernatural powers to enter the underground city directly."
Having said that, Lu Xiao emphasized to Wu Yue the existence of the supernatural blockade and how to avoid it as much as possible, and then he agreed to let Wu Yue take action.
The SS-level psychic took action and easily avoided the blockade of the earth-type psychic. After Wu Yue explored the location of the entire underground city, he was surprised, "They really live underground!"
"It's the same with Yueban Bay. The last time I contacted Ning Yuan, they said that there was a tsunami at the base and four islands were flooded." Lu Xiao couldn't help but worry, for the people of Yueban Bay, and also for Lieyan who hadn't been back for so long.
"Follow me, we'll go in directly to find out the news." Wu Yue controlled himself not to think about the situation in the base, and controlled the land under his feet to open up a passage for three people, and walked towards the weakest part of the underground city he had explored.
