Chapter 796 SSS Crystal Core

When Xu Sa noticed Lu Weiyi coming back, he ran over, grabbed his arm, and looked him up and down.

Lu Weiyi only told him about Gu Qingji's situation but didn't say what he was going to do. After listening to Ning Yuan's words, he became extremely nervous. Now he could finally feel relieved when he saw that the person had returned safely.

Lu Weiyi shook his head and said silently, "Not found."

Xu Sa nodded, not knowing whether to feel fortunate or unfortunate.

"Qingji calmed down half an hour after you left, but he hasn't woken up yet," Xu Sa lowered his voice, "Wen Jing sent a healing team to take a look, but we didn't agree."

"But...it may not be possible to hide it."

"I know." At this time, their attitude was no longer within Lu Weiyi's consideration. They did not dare to attack them because of this. They were waiting and watching more likely to see the effect of the potion released by the zombies.

Lu Weiyi said nothing. Ning Yuan and Gu Qingyue looked at him but didn't ask any questions. He picked up the record material on the side and read it, then sent it into the space to let the researcher over there take a look at the situation.

If the situation allowed, he would rather send Gu Qingji directly there for treatment, but there were so many people around and he couldn't expose himself too much in front of so many people.

Zhuang Mingxu quickly came to a conclusion, but without specific data measurement support, the effect could not be seen from simple records.

"Don't worry, the situation is stable now." Ning Yuan saw his anxiety and comforted him.

It was a rare night of rest, and the few people in the team who knew about the situation did not sleep. When the sky brightened, Gu Qingji began to twitch again.

"Qingji, wake up? What's wrong with you?" Gu Qingyue hugged him tightly, calling him in a tearful voice.

The muscles on Gu Qingji's face began to twitch unconsciously, as if there were bugs crawling under his skin, making him look extremely hideous.

This might be a critical moment, but Lu Weiyi didn't dare to gamble on the consequences.

They have been together since the beginning of the apocalypse, supporting each other. Even though they are close or distant, Lu Weiyi is unwilling to lose any of them.

Looking at the few people who were anxiously observing the situation, Lu Weiyi took a deep breath and quietly left the basement.

After a while, Lu Weiyi came back unnaturally, took out something wrapped in gauze and stained with blood, and handed it to Gu Qingyue.

"If you absorb an SSS-level crystal core, it may explode because your body cannot withstand the strength. Think carefully before using it."

"Didn't you find it..." Ning Yuan had just asked when Gu Qingji's body rolled violently like a dead fish, and he immediately turned around and pressed the person hard.

"Thank you." Gu Qingyue smelled a strong smell of blood in his hand, and could even see bloodstains scattered on it. The tentacles were warm, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

But he didn't have time to think more at this moment, and put it carefully in his hand. He heard Lu Weiyi leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, and whispered, "Don't open it, just absorb it directly."

"Okay." Gu Qingyue put it away and focused his attention on Gu Qingji.

Neither continuing to wait for the potion to take effect nor absorbing the crystal core was completely safe. He could only wait and choose the most appropriate time, which made his palms sweat constantly.

After waiting in silence for nearly half an hour, Gu Qingji suddenly opened his eyes. Before anyone could react with surprise, he pushed away the person who was holding him and started to vomit.

Gray filth was vomited out with a strong stench, like the smell of rotting zombies at the beginning of the apocalypse.

As the level of zombies increased, this smell had not been smelled for a long time. It kept exploding at the tip of the nose, making several people's eyes sore.

"Qingji, how are you?" Gu Qingyue immediately gathered some clean water for him to rinse his mouth and asked him nervously.

Gu Qingji shook his head and turned sideways to vomit for a while until the acid came out. Then he lay weakly in Gu Qingyue's arms and said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay."

"You were hurt by the zombies. I was scared to death." Gu Qingyue held the person tightly and was unwilling to let go.

"Wei Yi used his supernatural powers to force out some of the zombie energy for you, and some of it remains in your body. Feel if there is anything left," Ning Yuan reminded.

Gu Qingyue immediately took out the prepared crystal core and asked him to absorb and adjust it at the same time.

As a few traces of dirty blood oozed out from the wound, Gu Qingji finally recovered.

But he was still a little weak, which made those who originally wanted to leave immediately decide to stay for another day.

Those who had stayed up all night found a place to rest. Gu Qingyue couldn't sleep, so he still stayed with Gu Qingji.

Wen Jing and Su Yan noticed the change in the atmosphere, and each had their own plans in mind. They quietly started to inquire about the news, but there were not many people who knew the situation, and everyone involved had gone to rest, so they didn't want to disturb them. After inquiring for a long time, they didn't get any accurate information, so they had to go out to find out the location.

It was not until noon that Gu Qingji was woken up and had lunch. Seeing that he was conscious and logical, and there was no other abnormality except that his body looked a little weak, Gu Qingyue was completely relieved.

"You should also go and rest for a while. It's not safe outside. We may have to leave at any time." Xu Sa covered his eyes with cold water. After he was completely sober, he patted Gu Qingyue's shoulder to signal him to watch him.

"I will protect Qingji. I promise, nothing will happen." Li Qing said. There was nothing unusual on his face, but after spending so much time together, one could still tell that he was a little nervous.

In the end, it was because he carried Gu Qingji on his back and didn't notice the danger that someone got into trouble. He always felt guilty.

"Okay," Gu Qingyue nodded and comforted Li Qing, "The wound might have been caused by the vine branches on the little zombie when I pushed you away. We didn't notice it, so it's not your responsibility."

When Li Qing heard him say this, he knew that he didn't mind, and nodded to signal him to go and rest.

"Go ahead, brother, I'm fine," Gu Qingji also advised.

Gu Qingyue nodded, stood up, and walked towards the resting place. A small cloth bag fell out of his pocket.

"Something fell," Xu Sa said as he quickly went to pick it up. His fingertips only pinched a little bit, and the things inside rolled out. It was actually a finger.

The four of them were stunned on the spot. Gu Qingyue looked at the gauze in Xu Sa's hand, then at the finger on the ground, and said in surprise, "This was given to me by Wei Yi. He said it was an SSS crystal core. How could it be..."

"This is... a toe." Li Qing leaned over and picked it up to take a look. "An adult, the little toe of the right foot. Judging from the cross-section of the wound... it should have been chopped off directly."

The other three people didn't understand what was going on, but Xu Sa knew some characteristics of SSS mutant creatures. Thinking about how he clearly said when he came back that he didn't find any SSS-level mutant creatures, but then suddenly took them out again, they gritted their teeth in anger.

Xu Sa's hands were shaking as he snatched the little finger from Li Qing.

"What...what's wrong? Whose is this?" Li Qing realized that something was wrong with him.

"There's a ready-made SSS-level in the team," Xu Sa said, then he wrapped his finger with gauze again, stood up and walked towards where Lu Weiyi was resting.

Perhaps because every part of his body is a storage of crystal core energy, Lu Weiyi slept very deeply and was not even woken up for lunch. Everyone else thought he had been running for too long all night and was a little tired, so no one disturbed him.

Xu Sa came over and called him twice, but got no response and instead woke up Ning Yuan who was standing next to him.

"What's wrong?" Ning Yuan's voice was vague, but his eyes were unusually clear.

Xu Sa shook his head and carefully reached out to untie Lu Weiyi's shoes. Ning Yuan was confused by his action and stopped sleeping. He silently asked Gu Qingyue and Li Qing who followed him over.

The two of them just wanted to understand what Xu Sa said and rushed over, only to see Xu Sa gently pinching one of Lu Weiyi's feet, which was tightly wrapped with gauze.

It seems that there is no need to look any further, the truth is already known.

But others still couldn't figure it out, so Xu Sa explained in a low voice, "Every part of the SSS mutant creature's body is a crystal core."

"But..." Li Qing looked at the broken finger. It didn't look like a crystal core at all. However, as the lowest-ranking person in the team, he didn't ask any further.

"I'll go find Captain Wen and borrow their healing system." Although Gu Qingyue didn't understand, he knew that the severed finger was for Gu Qingji. This made him feel extremely sad, and he turned and walked towards Wen Jing's team.

Ning Yuan vaguely understood something from the conversation between the few people. He asked Li Qing a few questions in a low voice, and looked at Lu Weiyi who seemed to be in a coma, and sighed deeply.

Within a few minutes, the healer from Wen Jing's team came over, and when he saw that she was asked to reconnect her little finger, he started to do it without saying a word. However, his supernatural powers were of no use at all.

Even the original broken wound showed no sign of healing, which made the healing psychics suspect that their abilities had lost effectiveness, especially when they met Xu Sa's suspicious gaze.

"Sorry, maybe it took a little too long, it's really bad." Ning Yuan pinched Xu Sa's shoulder, explained and sent him away.

"The treatment system should be useless. Have you forgotten what happened last time..." Ning Yuan reminded Xu Sa who was taking deep breaths to relieve his emotions.

"Then..." Xu Sa looked at the broken surface with blood scabs, feeling a sour taste in his throat, "It's all our fault that we couldn't hold on."

"Okay, since he didn't say anything, we'll just pretend we don't know." Ning Yuan could understand Lu Weiyi's behavior as the captain to save his teammates. If it were him or even someone else, they might do the same, so he didn't talk about the so-called touching moment.

He signaled Xu Sa to put the gauze back on his foot, and he rewrapped his toes and returned them to Gu Qingyue, "I will give it back to him later, just pretend he knows nothing, maybe... he can find some way."

Just like last time.

They were silent for a while and agreed with Ning Yuan's statement. However, the emotions in their hearts could not be concealed by words, so when Lu Weiyi woke up, there was a pot of boiled Chinese medicine waiting for him.

"What is this?" Lu Weiyi smelled a familiar smell. He was once forced to drink it while under guard for half a month.

But he clearly remembered that he secretly hid it in the storage room of the villa after Xi Shi left. He left in such a hurry that no one should have taken it.

"Brother Xi specifically reminded me, so of course I, as your good brother, will keep an eye on it for you." Xu Sa laughed as if he didn't notice anything. He put his arm around his shoulders and handed it to him. "Qingji lost too much blood during the operation. Qingyue said he wanted to give him a blood supplement. Now I remembered it."

"Or give it to..."

"Don't worry, Qingyue cooked two servings, don't waste it." Xu Sa didn't give him the chance to make excuses. He looked at him leisurely, as if to say, "I'm watching you drink."

Lu Weiyi's eyes wandered between the black bowl and Xu Sa's uncompromising gaze for a long time, but he finally gritted his teeth and did it.

He just turned his head away and didn't want to say a word to Xu Sa, so he didn't notice his expression suddenly change.

Gu Qingji over there had also woken up and was sure that everything was fine. Lu Weiyi felt much better when he saw the other potion that was returned to him. He was just about to ask Gu Qingji to go around to Wen Jing and the others and spread the word through their mouths when he saw one of Wen Jing's men anxiously walk over to him and say.

"Captain Lu, our captain has been gone for five hours and has not returned yet..."
