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 847: Being Hit by Money
Li Qing was obviously pulled out of bed, with a sleepy look on his face. Zhao Gang hurried over from the beach. Xu Yi crossed his arms and looked around, but couldn't find Li Zhuang, who was asking Antonio in a low voice. The others were sitting upright in twos and threes. Except for Wu Yue, the rest of the team members were all gathered here.
"Something happened at the base, so we have to advance our return plan," Lu Weiyi said as usual straight to the point.
He looked at Ning Yuan and said, "You go and arrange it. Schedule the drug trial and the upgrade seminar together."
"Sure," Ning Yuan responded, thinking in his mind how to use Pangqiu and the three brothers of the Wen family to gain as much benefit as possible.
"Dean and Xu Yi, you two will return to the base later, accompanied by Antonio, Liu Rui and Xu Sa..."
"Let the little stutterer go back. His fighting ability can keep the situation under control. I'll stay and help you coordinate this side," Xu Sa suggested before he could finish. "If appropriate, let Qingyue go back as well. His medical skills can be useful in treating the wounded."
Lu Weiyi thought about it and nodded, then looked at Zhao Gang, "The situation over there at the Suicide Squad has started to escalate and explode."
Zhao Gang was stunned. He didn't expect the fire to burn him. But when he thought about it, it was indeed possible.
"You lead the team back, pin down the dishonest people, and cooperate with Li Zhuang in the interrogation and investigation." After Lu Weiyi gave the notice, he looked at Li Qing and Ning Yuan, "You also lead the team back."
"Let me stay. I'm the one who coordinates all the matters at the various bases here," Ning Yuan suggested. "Otherwise, let Wu Yue go back. He is also an SS-level psychic."
Lu Weiyi shook his head and said, "Let Xu Sa take over your affairs, and you and Li Qing go back to reorganize the garrison guards of the entire base."
Hearing that the garrison had problems, Ning Yuan immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. He nodded seriously, but was still worried, "Can the remaining people handle it?"
The closer you get to the situation, the more accidents may occur. Who can guarantee that there won't be some people who can't stand others doing well and come up to cause trouble? Human nature can never stand the test.
"Then it's time for them to pray," Lu Weiyi said expressionlessly, then stood up and adjourned the meeting.
Zhao Gang, who was called over for the first time, didn't react to the fact that the meeting, which lasted less than ten minutes, ended so quickly. He glanced at the people around him who stood up skillfully and did their own things, with a look of confusion on his face.
"Is this... the end?" he asked Li Qing who was closest to him.
Li Qing understood his reaction, "Just get used to it, quickly gather the team, we'll probably be notified to set off soon."
Zhao Gang followed Li Qing's footsteps and walked out. Xu Sa waved at Liu Rui and quickly took over the matters handed over by Ning Yuan.
However, just as he went out, he saw the person on duty outside hurried over and reported that the people from the Hope Base had arrived and Su Yan wanted to see him urgently.
"What happened to the people in their base?" Su Yan had been staying here. The only thing that could be considered urgent to him was probably the unexpected incidents among the people who had just arrived at the base.
"No comment."
Su Yan and many people in the base are comrades-in-arms. As long as there is no conflict of interest, Lu Weiyi is still willing to give him face. Even though he doesn't know the reason, he still has someone bring him here.
Su Yan did not come alone. He was accompanied by two men of similar age. The most eye-catching thing was that one of them was sitting in a wheelchair. One of his legs had disappeared from the thigh, leaving only the empty trouser leg.
Coming like this, what else could Lu Weiyi not understand? He looked directly at Su Yan, "Brother Su, are you here to find a healing psychic?"
"Yes," Su Yan responded, and found that he didn't seem to recognize the person in the wheelchair. He coughed lightly and took the initiative to say, "This is Xu Sen."
"..."Lu Weiyi.
He reacted and looked towards Xu Sen. The former eldest son of the Xu family looked much more drab, with his face appearing to have been injured. A piece of his nose was cut off horizontally, and the sight of him without a nose tip was a bit scary.
But his eyes were still calm. That was the confidence cultivated by a large family since childhood. Even when he was in a low point, he could face it calmly. He smiled at Lu Weiyi and said, "Didn't you recognize me? I have changed a lot."
He touched half of his nose and said, "I didn't scare you, did I?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head, "What's wrong with you?"
"I got injured while out, and I'm a little late this time." Xu Sen patted his broken limb, "I want to recover this leg, how much supplies do you think would be appropriate?"
There is no friendship between them. Su Yan is just an introducer, and Xu Sen talks directly about interests.
Lu Weiyi was a little hesitant. Xu Yi had gotten along very well with everyone at the Yuebanwan base in the past few years. Even though his relationship with Li Zhuang had not been made public, anyone with a discerning eye could see what was going on.
Given the feud between him and Xu Sen, Lu Weiyi couldn't just care about his own interests. He didn't say anything oblique and said bluntly, "I have to ask Xu Yi's opinion."
"Do you need your subordinates' approval to do anything?" Xu Sen was already trying to provoke him.
Unfortunately, Lu Weiyi is not someone who values status. He nodded seriously and said, "There are not many people with healing abilities in our base. If he gets angry and quits, my loss will be even greater."
"..."Xu Sen.
Xu Sen laughed, reached out to ask the man who was pushing his wheelchair for a booklet, and handed it to Lu Weiyi, "This is the supplies I brought this time, you can choose whatever you like."
Lu Weiyi took it but didn't open it. His tone was full of surprise and he couldn't explain it in words, "You want to hit me with supplies?"
It was as if someone had thrown money at him before the end of the world. When these words were spoken, the other three people present didn't know what to say. Although Xu Sen did have this in mind and didn't want to involve Xu Yi, he still felt a little awkward when asked this question.
On the other hand, Lu Weiyi looked indescribably strange, and even his mood, which had been affected by the accident at the base, seemed to have improved a little. He had forgotten the last time someone threw money at him. This feeling was quite rare. With such a mood, Lu Weiyi actually opened the booklet.
Then he saw Xu Sen's lavish investment, space jade, top-quality jade carvings, grain seeds, and even some coal.
"..."Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi felt his heart was moved.
Not to mention anything else, the elusive jade alone made him excited.
He slowly flipped through the booklet, which was like a sales brochure before the end of the world. It had pictures of the jade carvings printed on it, with the exact length, width and height clearly marked.
He closed it as calmly as possible and looked at Xu Sen, "You'd trade so many things for a leg?"
Xu Sen smiled bitterly and said, "It's because only your base can provide the treatment system nowadays."
Otherwise, Xu Sen would not be willing to come here, especially because of his relationship with Xu Yi. Rather than saying these supplies are in exchange for an opportunity for treatment, it would be better to say they are in exchange for the possibility that Xu Yi will let them go.
Fast forward a few years, Xu Sen would never have thought that the best-performing person in the entire Xu family today would be Xu Yi - the one who bullies men and women all day long and is uneducated and unskillful.
"I can't guarantee it. I'll go ask. Please wait a moment." Lu Weiyi called someone to entertain them and left with the booklet.
Xu Sen nodded and looked outside in a daze. He thought that his concession to Xu Yi in Kyoto last time was already a very embarrassing moment in his life. He didn't expect that now he still needed to beg for supplies with both hands.
These supplies were nearly half of their team's reserves. On the surface, they came to exchange for zombie energy-releasing potions, but in fact, they came secretly to treat his leg.
But such a big thing cannot be concealed for long. The supplies belong to the entire team and do not belong to their Xu family alone. If such a large amount is spent, it will always be discovered.
What he had to do was to take the main members of the Xu family and completely leave the team before being discovered.
Xu Sen still can't figure out how they have come to this point today. Obviously, those who started from a worse position than them can squeeze out a place, but it seems that their path is getting narrower and narrower.
In the boundless future, Xu Sen couldn't see the road ahead at all, but even so he still needed to hold on.
Lu Weiyi hadn't walked far when he ran into Xu Yi and Dean who were gathering together. Perhaps because of his own excitement, he felt a little guilty, and Lu Weiyi looked at Xu Yi with evasive eyes.
Xu Yi, who had long been accustomed to Lu Weiyi's equality and not giving face to anyone, squinted his eyes and looked at him for a while, then hid directly behind Dean, almost sticking Don't Come Close to Me in his face.
"Ahem, Xu Yi, something's up..."
"You're looking for Dean." Xu Yi knew that something bad was going to happen, so he interrupted him before he could finish. "Li Zhuang's things haven't been packed yet. I have to hurry and pack them."
"Well, there's a big deal." Lu Weiyi himself felt embarrassed. The unaccustomed flattering look on his face made Antonio and Dean follow him instantly, with no intention of leaving.
"It's none of your business," Lu Weiyi chased them away.
"I like big business," Dean said righteously, "If Brother Xu doesn't take it, I can," he patted his chest and assured him.
Lu Weiyi waved at him, still not chasing the two away.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Xu Yi said with a gloomy face, "Tell me, what's the matter."
Lu Weiyi first handed him the list of supplies and touched his nose, "There is... a man who lost a leg."
Dean and Antonio also came over to check it out. As Xu Yi flipped through it, the two of them exclaimed in amazement from time to time. Before Xu Yi finished reading, Dean said excitedly, "I'll take it. I can do it. I have good skills. No problem."
Lu Weiyi waved his hand and ignored him. Antonio knew from the situation that there was still news to be told. He took Dean and took two steps back. Seeing that Xu Yi seemed very happy with the increase in his status but with his arms crossed as if nothing had happened, he waited for Lu Weiyi to say the rest.
As expected, Lu Weiyi's next sentence made Xu Yi's face fall instantly.
"It's Xu Sen!".
As soon as the name came out, Dean hadn't reacted to who it was and even wanted to recommend himself again, but Antonio immediately covered his mouth and made him take several steps back.
He was worried about getting covered in blood.
Lu Weiyi was disturbed by his reaction and took two steps back. Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, he coughed lightly to cover up and said, "Well, let me ask you, if you don't want to, I will reject him."
"Anyway, we are not short of these things... Well... the supplies in our base are relatively abundant..." Lu Weiyi said this but did not move his feet.
Xu Yi looked at him leisurely and said, "Go ahead."
Lu Weiyi gritted his teeth. Not to mention other things, he was really envious of the jade and the jade space. He couldn't tell what Taotao's future would be like. He didn't have many jade spaces that he hadn't used yet, and the good quality jade that he could get now was rare.
I have to say, Xu Sen's thing really hit the nail on the head.
According to his and Zhuang Mingxu's previous plan, they would go to the Mengbei base in person and explore several jade mines directly, and they would always gain something. Now that it cannot be implemented, these things become particularly precious.
"Go," Xu Sa urged again when he saw that he didn't move.
"..."Lu Weiyi.
Intellectually, Lu Weiyi knew that Xu Yi was more valuable than these things. If he himself lacked them, it would be fine, but as a father, he was still concerned about his son.
He was determined to get it over with, and asked directly, "Is there really no room for negotiation?"
Xu Yi raised an eyebrow and didn't give a definite answer.
With this attitude, there was nothing Lu Weiyi couldn't understand. This person just wanted to see him make a fool of himself, but he knew he had to take the bait anyway, "Tell me, what do you want."
Lu Weiyi was right, Xu Yi did it on purpose. As for coal and other things, he had no idea, but many people in the team had some guesses about what jade meant to Lu Weiyi.
As someone close to Li Zhuang, he had personally dealt with the marks left on Li Zhuang's body after the jade space was dug out. Even though the other party didn't say a word afterwards, Xu Yi had a guess in his mind.
Maybe when you lack something, you like it more. Xu Yi, who obviously didn't like children before, now likes the children who grew up in his life.
What's more, he felt that his relationship with the Xu family had been severed long ago. Seeing that Xu Sen had come to him with so many supplies to beg for help, he wanted to show off in a condescending manner. However, he still wanted to enjoy this rare opportunity of Lu Weiyi begging for help.
"I have to think about this carefully." Xu Yi looked embarrassed and thought seriously.
Antonio saw that this was not a situation that would cause a quarrel, so he took two steps closer. Seeing that Lu Weiyi raised his eyebrows and gritted his teeth, but looked resigned to his fate, he leaned closer and reminded Xu Yi in a low voice, "Take it easy. It may feel good to embarrass your leader, but you will not be able to bear it afterwards."
Especially Antonio knows that the ability of the healing department is no longer enough to heal the bodies of SSS psychics. There is only Lu Weiyi in their base now, and there will always be other people in the future. The only two healing departments will definitely have new "learning" directions, but Lu Weiyi has no clue yet.
Antonio was very worried that Xu Yi was in a good mood now and would openly "take revenge" then.
Xu Yi's expression froze, and he looked at Lu Weiyi suspiciously, "You won't retaliate later, will you?"
"…That depends on what conditions you put forward. If it's material, it definitely won't happen; but spiritually, that may not be the case.
Lu Weiyi smiled friendly.
“……”Xu Yi.
How could the healing department be short of money? It can be said that these two are the richest people in their team except Lu Weiyi. Antonio and Li Zhuang who follow them also have the least debts, which often makes others jealous and say that they are gigolos. It's a pity that they are thick-skinned and don't care at all. They even want to show off.
Thinking of Lu Weiyi's methods of tormenting people, Xu Yi didn't go any further, "I'll tell you when I think of it, and you remember to owe me a favor."
"Okay," Lu Weiyi happily took the supply booklet in his hand and pointed at all the jade stones, "I want these. The rest of the coal is useless to you. I'll take it on behalf of the base. According to the equal exchange, I'll give you 40% of the relative value. Tell Brother Damu what you want and go to him to get it."
Forty percent of these things is also a very large sum, especially the jade space which is hard to come by. Dean was jealous and came to Xu Yi, blinking his eyes, and recommended himself again, "Brother, Brother Xu, are you in need of an assistant? The kind that can help with everything?"
“……”Xu Yi.
"Let's go, I'll give you ten percent."
"Thank you, Brother Xu." Dean immediately trotted after him. His happy little look made people feel better unconsciously.
