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 795: Zombie Release Potion
"Qingyue!"
"Qingyue!"
After a few sounds, countless superpowers rushed towards the little zombie, but the other party made a climbing motion with his hands, and the vines wrapped around his body directly pulled him up to the tree and disappeared into the gaps between the bushes.
It's obvious that the level of this flexible movement is not too low.
Countless supernatural powers had no time to be retracted and attacked Gu Qingyue, but were blocked by Lu Weiyi's mental barrier at the last moment.
He glanced at Gu Qingyue's torn clothes, raised his head to look between the trees, and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Are you okay?"
"How is it? Are you hurt?"
A few people didn't even bother to look back and could only ask loudly.
"It's okay." Gu Qingyue was pulled up and reached out to tidy up his clothes.
Then Wen Jing frowned and said calmly, "You were scratched by a zombie."
"It's okay, I'm an SS-level psychic." He will not be infected by zombies of a lower level than him. This is why he dared to push Li Qing and Gu Qingji away. Both of them are only S-level, so in comparison, the possibility of him being infected is lower.
As he spoke, he hissed in pain and mobilized his body's supernatural powers to squeeze out the energy from the places where he was scratched by the zombies.
His body swayed and was supported by Li Qing who was waiting on the side.
"It's okay. I haven't been attacked by zombies in a long time. I have forgotten this feeling," Gu Qingyue joked.
"The little zombies are coming again, be careful!"
Someone reminded everyone, and everyone looked around, and saw that the trees in the woods were weaving through the zombie group like snakes, and when no one was paying attention, they instantly picked up a psychic and dragged him into the pile of zombies.
Countless tied-up zombies also swooped down from the air and attacked them one by one.
In the chaos, Wen Jing shouted, "We can't stay here anymore, earth-type mutants, please move to another place."
A hole immediately appeared on the ground. As the earth-type mutant jumped in first, the rest of the people followed one after another. Lu Weiyi, who was the last one to come in, controlled the small green branch and neatly harvested the crystal cores of several nearby zombies, and followed closely behind.
They had reached this ground because the earth-type mutants had exhausted their superpowers. At this point, they were at the end of their strength and could not advance for long. But this time they were lucky and found a buried underground parking lot.
After making sure there was no danger around, everyone sat down on the ground, panting from exhaustion. No one spoke for a long time.
Even though they had only been out for a day, they had not rested for a moment. They were either attacked by various animals or surrounded by zombies, and their supernatural powers had been basically exhausted.
If this goes on, I'm afraid tomorrow will not be much different. Lu Weiyi was thinking about contacting Zhuang Mingxu to hurry up and send a few more magnetic field correctors, when he saw Li Qing holding Gu Qingji tightly in his arms and walking past a few people to Lu Weiyi.
Under Lu Weiyi's puzzled gaze, he revealed a little bit of Gu Qingji's face.
Gu Qingji, who had been in a coma, seemed to be enduring some pain. His teeth were grinding and his breathing was as rapid and heavy as an old bellows.
The panic on Li Qing's face was hard to conceal, but with people from other teams surrounding him, he didn't dare to show it. He could only suppress Gu Qingji's body twitching as much as possible and asked Lu Weiyi with his eyes what to do.
"What's wrong?" Ning Yuan next to him looked over in confusion, but Li Qing quickly covered Gu Qingji again.
"I..." Li Qing spoke, his voice uncontrollably hoarse. He coughed lightly and tried to remain calm. "I think Qingji's breathing is a little heavy. Let the captain see if he has a fever."
"How can a young master like him know all this? Let me see..." Ning Yuan stretched out his hand and was about to touch it, but was stopped by Li Qing who suddenly stepped back.
Ning Yuan looked at him in confusion.
"You guys eat something first to replenish your energy. I'll go take a look." Lu Weiyi took out some food from the space, stood up and pulled Li Qing towards an empty corner. At the same time, he used a mental barrier to block anyone's detection.
When Gu Qingyue heard this, he wanted to follow him, but was also stopped by him.
"What's going on?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"I... I don't know either." Li Qing put Gu Qingji on the ground and examined him carefully. "He had a fever before and took anti-inflammatory medicine. When the temperature was high just now, I thought he had a fever again, but..."
Li Qing paused, pinched Gu Qingji's calf with his hand, looked up at Lu Weiyi with panic in his eyes.
Following his hand, I saw that Gu Qingji's clothes on his calves had been torn in several places at some point, with green plant juice on them, and mottled black spots had appeared in the broken skin, spreading towards other places as thin as hair.
"Qingji? Gu Qingji, wake up?" Lu Weiyi lowered his head and called out. Gu Qingji gritted his teeth and twitched, and only a clear creaking sound could be heard.
Lu Weiyi simply slapped him on the face a few times, but still failed to wake him up.
Lu Weiyi probed his supernatural powers into his body, guiding the supernatural powers in his body to resist the invasion of zombie energy.
The black blood line shrank slightly, Li Qing's eyes lit up, he held the knife and drew a cross on his wound, seeing the black blood overflowing, he exhaled slowly.
However, even though Lu Weiyi had already discharged the visible black blood stains, Gu Qingji was still twitching, and it didn't look like he was getting better.
Lu Weiyi called out a few more times, but he still didn't wake up.
Li Qing was silent for a long time, then he looked up and suddenly asked Lu Weiyi, "The zombie energy release potion in our base... is it real?"
"..."Lu Weiyi.
He doesn't know.
However, Zhuang Mingxu said that he would go to check it out today. Lu Weiyi immediately contacted Zhuang Mingxu to inquire and gave him a general account of the situation here.
While waiting for a reply, Lu Weiyi informed Gu Qingyue of the situation - the person who had the most right to know.
"I'm sorry, I..." Li Qing stammered and couldn't say the rest of the words.
Gu Qingyue shook his head, stepped forward and grabbed Gu Qingji's hand tightly, murmuring in a low voice how could this happen.
"I should have upgraded you."
"If you had upgraded, this would definitely not have happened."
"Qingji, wake up, look at me, Qingji."
Gu Qingyue choked and leaned his head on Gu Qingji's cheek. The warm tears kept hitting his face, but failed to relieve his convulsions.
While Lu Weiyi was waiting for Zhuang Mingxu's reply, he was already thinking of other ways. Judging from the speed at which he was infected by the zombie energy, he was at most S-level. If he upgraded at this time, he might be able to resist some.
Even with Lu Weiyi's mental barrier, the abnormality here would easily arouse other people's suspicion. After a while, Ning Yuan came over to inquire about the situation.
Just at this moment, Zhuang Mingxu's reply also came.
[Effective, but still in the experimental stage].
Therefore, the side effects cannot be generalized.
He said this, but sent over two potions with instructions for use.
After Lu Weiyi explained the situation to Gu Qingyue, he asked him to choose whether to use it or not.
It takes two years of experimental stage from the research and development to the use of vaccines. Now this thing has only been produced for less than two months, and the technology is not mature yet, and it is used on people around him. Gu Qingyue's hands were shaking as he held the refrigerator.
"Qingyue, this is not the time to hesitate," Ning Yuan pressed his shoulder and said decisively.
"Looking at the speed of infection, it should take a while. If not, we can let him upgrade. The SS-level upgrade ability will definitely be able to shape the body and resist this zombie energy," Lu Weiyi said comfortingly.
Gu Qingyue also knew that this was not the time to hesitate, so he nodded and agreed to use it, and injected one himself.
As the drug entered his body, Gu Qingji's whole body began to shake violently. His movements were so violent that he knocked Gu Qingyue, who was hugging him, to the ground. Ning Yuan and Li Qing had to take action at the same time to hold him down.
Gu Qingyue hurriedly picked up the several test reactions that Zhuang Mingxu had sent over, wanting to see if there was any case like his.
Lu Weiyi looked for a while and decided to go out.
"Let's make preparations for both situations. I'll go find some crystal cores for him to upgrade."
"Where are you going to find it?" Ning Yuan knew that because of the burden of the mutated plants, it was not yet time for Gu Qingji to upgrade.
What's more, if they really need crystal cores for upgrading, their team can just get together and not be short of them, so why would they go out to look for them in the middle of the night?
"It would be best if it's an SSS-level crystal core." Lu Weiyi still remembered that after the SSS-level mutant snake died, the energy dissipation alone was enough for Zhou He and others to successfully upgrade. If they could have a crystal core of an SSS-level creature at this time, it should be possible, especially since Gu Qingji also had a mutant plant to share the energy, reducing the danger.
"Are you going to look for that mutant squid?" Ning Yuan shouted in a low voice, "That's beyond human power. We managed to escape with great difficulty."
Lu Weiyi did not answer, but just looked at him silently.
Ning Yuan met his gaze and immediately understood what he hadn't said, "What else can I do? Watch him turn into a zombie?"
Ning Yuan thought that he could wait and see the effect of the medicine, but it was useless to wait, and it would probably be too late by then.
Especially when he saw Gu Qingyue struggling to read the documents despite his collapsed thoughts, he couldn't say a word of "no".
Lu Weiyi did not hesitate. He stood up and walked towards the direction where the team was resting. He pulled Xu Sa and whispered a few words. In the face of Xu Sa's shocked eyes, he gestured for him to calm down and quietly gave him a part of the crystal core.
This called Yang Zhiguang, an earth-type mutant in the crowd, to leave the underground garage together.
At such a long distance, Lu Weiyi did not stare at the mutant squid completely, but released his supernatural powers and did not forget to explore the surroundings while returning.
There is no shortage of high-level zombies and mutant animals, but it is not so easy to reach the SSS level. After traveling for two hours along the way, not only did we not find the SSS crystal core, we also did not find any trace of the mutant squid.
"We were moving in a panic at the time and had no idea of the direction. Moreover, given the current magnetic field, we would be lost if we went out without any tools." Yang Zhiguang saw Lu Weiyi's gloomy face and tried to defend himself.
Lu Weiyi understood this was the truth, so there was no reason to embarrass him. "Do you know the way back?"
"I made a mark."
"Let's go back." Two hours had already passed and there was no point in continuing.
The return journey was smoother than the departure journey. When Lu Weiyi returned, Gu Qingji still hadn't woken up, but he had stopped struggling and was much calmer.
But his face was faintly pale and sickly, making it unclear whether it was caused by excessive blood loss from the previous surgery or the influence of the zombie energy.
The space in the basement is so small. Even though no one in Wen Jing and Su Yan's team asked about it, they had guessed part of it in their hearts and were looking around quietly.
