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 814: Meeting Friends
Realizing that he had something to say, but this was obviously not a good time, Lu Weiyi could only say, "I'll think about it. After all, it's not a small matter. I'll get back to you later."
"Okay," the golden eagle responded, and went to help a few people who had too much supplies carry their things.
With Cheng Qi around, the zombies who had been standing in a circle doing nothing like door gods quickly made way for a passage, and the group of people immediately walked out. Even though their eagerness could be seen, not a single zombie made a move. Even when the little monkey waved his fist provocatively, the group of zombies just dodged and none of them took action, even though Lu Weiyi was sure that all those present were zombies with super powers.
"How do you control their desires?" Lu Weiyi asked Cheng Qi who was standing beside him.
As if he didn’t expect to be spoken to, Cheng Qi turned around with an uncoordinated neck and was silent for a while before replying, “There is suppression among zombies.”
"I've seen zombies of all levels before, and they live casually, and it seems like they have no intersection at all. It doesn't look like they are being suppressed?"
"Only conscious zombies will focus on using it. It's like an instinctive ability." Cheng Qi spoke slowly but clearly.
As they walked, the zombies around them consciously retreated to a place a little further away from them, looking terrified.
Looking at this scene, Lu Weiyi's mind was full of thoughts, "Have you ever tried to ask them to dig out their crystal cores for you? Will they resist?"
"Cough... cough cough..." Antonio, who had been following them to collect information, was left speechless by his reckless words. He rarely gave a pretentious cough to remind Lu Weiyi.
But that person didn't notice it. Even Dean next to him thought this was a great idea. The man who had been focusing on the little monkey and wanted him to play with him, now looked at Cheng Qi with burning eyes.
"..."Cheng Qi.
He seemed to not know what expression to make, and turned his head to look in the direction of Qin Jin. Lu Weiyi followed his gaze and saw Qin Jin smiling with one corner of his mouth raised. Even though his eyes were looking at Ning Yuan, Lu Weiyi had a hunch that he knew everything that was happening here.
He used his mental power to sense around and confirmed that there was no strange energy detection. Only then did he feel relieved. However, he did not explore the things in the zombie world anymore. He simply asked a few questions about Cheng Qi and successfully led the team out of the zombie encirclement.
Xu Sa and his team who were waiting outside were indeed very anxious. When they saw someone coming out, they immediately came over. Their respective teams also walked towards the person in charge to report everything that had happened.
As they came out, the original encirclement was also evacuated, and the zombies that surrounded them retreated to a place not far behind Qin Jin. Everyone also saw Qin Jin chatting and laughing with Ning Yuan in front of them. Now Su Yan and Wen Jing looked at them with strange eyes.
"What does he want to do?" Xu Sa pulled Lu Weiyi a few steps away from Cheng Qi, with a serious look on his face.
The appearance of this person can be said to be a major reason why their base was targeted by various bases. Although it may be an excuse they made up, it still brought considerable impact.
"Do you know him?" Lu Weiyi was surprised.
Xu Sa had an ugly expression on his face. Antonio, who was talking to Gu Qingyue's brothers not far away, noticed his cold gaze when he was staring at Qin Jin. He walked over with a smile and answered for him, "Qin Nian was snatched away from him."
"?" Lu Weiyi.
He really didn't know this was going on.
After being singled out, Xu Sa had nothing to hide. "At that time, Qin Nian wanted to go play with Ai Yi, but Yin Jin didn't have time to take him there. I happened to be passing by while repairing the circuit, so I took him with me."
Xu Sa gritted his teeth and said, "Who knew that zombies would sneak in and follow us all the way? I also didn't expect that there would be an incident of children being kidnapped at the base."
While Xu Sa was talking to someone, he snatched the child away and jumped into the sea from the hundreds of meters high city wall.
Xu Sa's supernatural powers were not as high as Qin Jin's. He jumped into the sea as well, only to find that his supernatural powers were completely useless in the water - Qin Nian could not withstand the stimulation of high electric current, and eventually lost track of the two.
"How did he get into the base?" Lu Weiyi was curious.
"He swam over from the sea," Xu Sa said speechlessly. "Later, we checked the few existing surveillance cameras and the profiler's drawings to confirm his identity. Then we started a search of the entire base and located his whereabouts."
At this point, Xu Sa chuckled twice and said, "You can never imagine that after he entered the inland, he sneaked into the underground city and took a walk, and our people didn't even notice him."
Lu Weiyi seemed to be thinking about something. Antonio asked, "What kind of superpower is he? Do you know?"
"Fire Element" Lu Weiyi, "Haven't you seen his spirit body?"
Antonio shook his index finger and said, "I didn't see it, but with the Phoenix in front and being attacked, I guessed it."
"So you don't know what his spiritual body is?"
"It should be a wolf," Xu Sa said, "We faced it once in Kyoto. His consciousness was still not very clear at that time. It took all of us to stop him. Qingji was in charge of the energy detector."
As Xu Sa spoke, he waved towards Gu Qingji and asked him about the exact situation.
"Yes, a wolf head, but without a body," Gu Qingji said after hesitating for a moment, "The detector shows that there are flame-like things jumping around the wolf head, but I'm not sure what it is."
Lu Weiyi also became interested in the third spirit he met and wanted to ask Qin Jin to summon it out to take a look, but unfortunately their friendship did not seem to reach that level.
"Who is stronger between the two of you?" Xu Sa was more concerned about the actual situation. Antonio and Xu Sa also looked over.
"..." Lu Weiyi, "It should be him."
“?” Xu Sa.
“……”Antonio.
"If I wasn't fully conscious, maybe I could win by relying on my level, but now..." Lu Weiyi was very self-aware and said, "He is a talent cultivated by the country with a lot of resources. Even if he has been retired for many years, he is still not someone I can compete with. Moreover, in terms of level alone, there is actually not much difference between us."
Xu Sa immediately became alert when he heard this, "Then what does he want to do here?"
"He came for Qin Nian," Antonio raised his chin towards Lu Weiyi, "He said you took his child away."
"Then just start fighting, what are you doing now?" Xu Sa was dissatisfied, "We are already feared by all the bases, and he is still expressing friendship in front of everyone. Look at the expressions of Wen Jing and Su Yan, after today, they might say that we are in cahoots with the zombies."
"Who cares about this now that our base is gone?" Gu Qingji interrupted.
"Eh? Oh, right, how could I forget about this?" Xu Sa laughed and said to Lu Weiyi, "Don't hand Qin Nian over to him. No matter how conscious he is, he is still a zombie. Look at those weird and unrefined corpses under him. They all look like they have good intentions. That child called you dad when he was a child."
Qin Nian grew up under the guidance and nourishment of Lu Weiyi's spiritual power. When he was young and ignorant, he really thought that Lu Weiyi was his father. There was a period of time when he couldn't tell the difference between the two names. He actually called him dad for a long time, and he still has a very close relationship with him.
Lu Weiyi also didn't want to let the child take risks, but, "I have to ask Yin Jin's opinion."
Antonio asked about the new base. Lu Weiyi kept a few people to talk and found a place to inform Zhuang Mingxu of the situation here and asked him to contact Yin Jin.
While waiting for a reply, Lu Weiyi brought the out-of-place little monkey to the beach. After a few days of getting along, he was able to communicate with the little monkey consciously. He did not let it attack the zombies and the psychics, and the other party did not object. The huge monkey ran around on the beach, making a constant humming sound in his ears, and from time to time it grabbed some crabs and shrimps and threw them into its mouth.
Happiness is so simple, but to both the psychics and the zombies, it is an outlier. Lu Weiyi brought it here, but didn't know how to place it in the future.
When he turned his head, he saw that there was another alien waiting on the other side. The zombies retreated, and all around were people with special powers, staring at Cheng Qi hungrily. Some of the people with special powers even wanted to attack him as if they had the courage after returning to the team, but he had a paralyzed face, as if he didn't notice anything at all.
He was wearing a round-neck short-sleeved shirt, and at first glance one could see the missing piece of flesh on his neck, especially the completely different texture of the surrounding skin, making it easy to tell that he was not human. However, he was neatly dressed, and even his hair was neatly groomed, completely different from the image of a zombie in everyone's mind.
Lu Weiyi waved to him and said, "I have something to arrange, you can go back to Qin Jin first."
Cheng Qi shook his head and said, "The king asked me to control them, and it would be best if they were closer to you."
Lu Weiyi patted the stone beside him and motioned him to sit down. Zhuang Mingxu replied to the message very quickly, and the first thing he did was to come and meet Qin Jin.
[No, he said his memory has been restored, but I feel like something is missing. You don’t have the ability to protect yourself, so it’s best not to contact him.] Lu Weiyi decisively refused.
[I know my limits].
[Yin Jin wants to see him first].
The two messages were transmitted very quickly. Even when the messages arrived, Zhuang Mingxu had already appeared in the space. Lu Weiyi could feel him pacing back and forth, very anxious.
Lu Weiyi looked in the direction of Qin Jin again. He didn't know what the two said, but they all burst into laughter. Qin Jin waved and said something to the one-eyed zombie behind him. The man nodded and left the team.
Ning Yuan noticed Lu Weiyi's gaze and waved at him from afar. The thirty-year-old man's smile was filled with sunshine. He shouted at him, "Lao Qin asked his zombies to go find Wu Yue, haha..."
Lu Weiyi smiled at him, nodded, and whispered, "It seems that I haven't seen Ning Yuan smile like this since the end of the world."
"Hmm?" Cheng Qi turned his inorganic eyes to look at him.
Just after Xu Sa finished talking to Antonio, he saw Lu Weiyi sitting so close to a zombie and walked over with disapproval.
Before he could even ask the zombie to leave, Lu Weiyi asked him in a puzzled tone, "If I turned into a zombie, would you be afraid of me?"
Xu Sa didn't understand what he meant for a moment, then he heard Lu Weiyi say, "Just now Qin Jin poured a cup of tea for Ning Yuan. I tried to stop him, but Ning Yuan drank it."
He didn't think he had done anything wrong. As a captain, he needed to consider everyone's safety, especially when he felt that Ning Yuan was being a little emotional.
