Chapter 849: Suicide

"Have you got the supplies from Xu Sen?"

"The coal has been paid as a deposit. As for the other items, they require that they be handed over to the patient after he is cured."

"Haha, it's not kidnapping, it's not about handing over a person and a good at the same time." Lu Weiyi was amused by his description, but still reminded, "Find a psychic to check the contents of the space jade and make sure it is consistent with what they handed over."

"It has been arranged. I asked Xu Yi. It will be completed by noon at the latest. Then we will send him directly back to the base?" After Xu Sa finished speaking, he added, "It is said that he stayed up all night."

"Send it back. You can rest there if you are tired."

"Okay, as for Qin Nian, all our doctors will be transferred back to the base at noon today. His fever has gone down, but there are some... marks on his body," Xu Sa said tactfully. In fact, after a day of settling down, Qin Nian's originally fair skin was covered with earthworm-like marks, very much like varicose veins on the body of an elderly person. In some more serious areas, the skin appeared wrinkled, like the appearance after being soaked in water for a long time.

"How about letting him go back to the base first?"

"...Okay." Lu Weiyi thought of the report that had been handed over, which contained statistics on the number of injured people in the base, and asked about Lieyan's healing system.

"He hasn't arrived yet. I heard he's with our uncle."

"Okay, transfer her back to the base as soon as she arrives. They are short of manpower. And where's Xiaoxi? Has she returned?"

"No, he has been watching Qin Nian."

"Okay, ask him to come and see me later." The three children escaped safely, and Zhuang Aiyi and Taotao were fine. But Qin Nian became like this. Lu Weiyi had to give Yin Jin an explanation. He couldn't explain it himself, so Lu Xi could do it for him.

After the two discussed the day's events, Lu Weiyi went over everyone's affairs in his mind again to make sure nothing was left out, and then Xu Sa hurried to execute them.

*

The drug test meeting was held as scheduled in the morning. During the meeting, Lu Weiyi sent another group of people to the base. By the time he was done with the work, it was almost noon.

After Lu Xi returned, he immediately sent Qin Nian to the base hospital and told Yin Jin what had happened. Fortunately, Yin Jin was understanding and didn't say anything.

As a result, when he returned, he saw Xu Yi, exhausted and pale, but still trying to save face in front of Xu Sen.

Reshaping a leg requires a lot of details. Under normal circumstances, Lu Weiyi would definitely give him enough time, but as things happened, both sides needed treatment.

Seeing Xu Yi holding his chin high, maintaining his pride, but leaning against the door frame with his arms folded across his chest, Lu Weiyi felt guilty for a rare moment.

Xu Sen walked back and forth in the yard. After getting used to it for a while, a smile appeared on his face. He turned around and said sincerely, "Thank you."

"No need, just pay for the job." Xu Yi casually took out an A-level crystal core and absorbed it. Of course, it's not that he couldn't get a higher-level crystal core, but his ability was only A-level and he couldn't absorb higher levels.

The two of them stood, one high and one low, as if separated by an invisible space and time. No one spoke first, but they both thought of many years ago, when they were young and their relationship was not so bad.

At that time, Xu Sen was just the eldest son of the Xu family. He was favored but also had more responsibilities. He needed to be careful in his words and actions and needed to represent the face of the Xu family at all times.

Xu Yi is a child who is loved by everyone. He is not subject to any constraints and grows up completely according to his own wishes.

Xu's father and mother did not focus their attention on one child. They would occasionally praise the cute child. Xu Sen would also envy him and would buy him rare candies when he heard him call him brother sweetly.

But everything changed later. They were like two intersecting lines. After passing that point, they rushed in their own destined directions, with no possibility of meeting again.

If he didn't know about the entanglement between the two, Lu Weiyi would have thought that some kind of affair had developed between the two of them looking at each other. Just when he was thinking about whether to go in and interrupt, he saw someone jogging towards him, meeting his puzzled eyes, and whispering two words in his ear.

Even someone as cold as him couldn't help but be surprised.

"The Xu family is going to be completely ruined this time," Xu Sen suddenly said.

Xu Yi unconsciously clenched the crystal core in his hand and said, "It's none of my business."

"I wish you complete freedom from now on."

After Xu Sen finished speaking, he turned around and walked out slowly. Seeing Lu Weiyi standing at the door, he nodded in thanks and left the Yuebanwan base step by step.

Xu Yi felt that he hated the Xu family, but he had also experienced the days of being truly pampered there, but people's hearts are fickle and it would be difficult to last long.

Lu Weiyi came over at some point and handed him some papers.

"What?" Xu Yi asked, only to find that his voice was choked and his face was covered with tears. He took the tears and wiped them randomly, trying to save his image, but he didn't know what to say.

"Xu Yi, I just got the news," Lu Weiyi looked at him hesitantly and said, "Xu Sen's father committed suicide."

Xu Yi turned around in a daze, and Lu Weiyi told him the news he had just learned.

The supplies that the Xu family brought to Xu Sen to treat his legs this time used up most of the team's supplies. According to the plan of Xu's father and Xu Sen, they would tell others that these things were used to exchange for medicines, and then create some trouble on the way back to make an excuse for the disappearance of the medicines.

"Xu Sen believed it?" Xu Yi laughed, but there was no happiness on his face.

"It is said that all this was arranged by Xu's father. After Xu Sen got into trouble, Xu's father took over a lot of management of the team. He told Xu Sen that everything was arranged by him, but in fact, it was not. He asked Xu Sen to take away all the confidants of the Xu family and never thought of letting him go back."

"What's the meaning?"

"What it means is that not long after Xu Sen left, the matter was exposed. Xu's father was still trying to explain it at first, but after Xu Sen started receiving treatment... he committed suicide. He sent someone to deliver a message... asking Xu Sen to take his people away and never come back."

Lu Weiyi didn't know how to describe it for a moment. From a father's perspective, Father Xu did nothing wrong and tried his best to plan for his son. But as a bystander, it was a different feeling.

Xu Yi was stunned for a long moment and said softly, "The Xu family... is really gone this time."

Lu Weiyi didn't say anything to him. The news had already come, and there would be a lot of trouble in the future, especially since the supplies Xu Sen used for treatment were considered to be stolen from the team, and Yuebanwan, which had taken the supplies, might also be in trouble.

"The team members are likely to come over to retrieve the supplies. Do you think we should keep Xu Sen?" Lu Weiyi asked.

Xu Yi did not answer. He was silent for a long time and then said, "Let me think about it."

This was equivalent to delaying Xu Sen for a moment in disguise. Lu Weiyi understood and said okay, letting him go and rest.

Lu Weiyi sat on the cliff facing the coastline of the North Island and used his mental power to "look" at the opposite side. Xu Sen, who had just returned, had no time to be happy before he was pulled by his subordinates and whispered a few words. Then the whole team left in a hurry.

The spiritual power in the sky was like a huge net. Lu Weiyi could even see the confusion on Xu Sen's face. He had no time to mourn and had to prepare for the next escape.

No one could have imagined that the once favored child of heaven would have such a day.

Lu Weiyi's mind was in a turmoil, and then he turned around and saw a mutant seagull nearly one meter in size standing in front of him - the bored little monkey who had run around the entire base came over with his favorite lunch.

The seagull, whose size has increased several times, still looks a little miniature in front of the little monkey and can be easily carried by it in one hand.

The other party was not aware of his emotion and was only thinking about his lunch.

The mutant seagull was obviously knocked down. It flapped its wings continuously with injuries, and even screamed fiercely at Lu Weiyi. The little monkey slapped it on the head, and its neck broke with a snap.

"..."Lu Weiyi.

The visual was quite vivid, and he was really afraid that the little monkey's huge slap would hit him on the head someday.

Seeing that he was unmoved, the little monkey kept hitting him with the mutant seagull's corpse. Fortunately, he knew how to control the strength and did not push him to the ground in an embarrassing manner.

[This cannot be eaten.] Lu Weiyi reached out to take it, communicating with him with his consciousness, and flipped up the hair on the mutant seagull's body. On the exposed skin underneath, small tumors could be seen. They were pink in color, not ugly, but there were several of them densely packed together.

By pulling the claws together, you can see that there are three sharp nails arranged in sequence on the claws of the mutant seagull, like barbs.

This was the product of another mutation. Lu Weiyi used a dagger to cut open the mutant seagull's head, and sure enough, there was no crystal core at the center of its eyebrows.

There have been too many such mutations recently, most of which occur between low-level mutant creatures. This is also the source of humans' growing panic - they are worried that one day they will appear on humans.

Things that have undergone these changes have also been excluded from the diet, and some psychics have even begun to require that mutated creatures below a few levels not be eaten.
