Chapter 854: Zombie Accompany

As the island in Yueban Bay was occupied by zombies, those who had stayed behind to observe the space channel all stopped and prepared to leave.

After Lu Weiyi sent Wu Yue and the others away, the entire beach had returned to peace. The temporary buildings near the shore were still there, but most of the people inside were gone.

"I gave them time to leave. If they don't leave by nightfall tonight, they will stay forever." Qin Jin stood outside the passage waiting for him. He had no intention of going in to investigate, and even stated that he would have someone guard the passage.

"No need, just collapse it to avoid being remembered in the future." Lu Weiyi didn't care, after all, it was just a decoy.

Qin Jin raised his eyebrows, without asking the reason, and raised his chin towards the zombie following him. The zombie that had been drooling over Lu Weiyi immediately stepped forward and stretched its green claws towards the cave. The entire mountain began to change shape like plasticine in a child's hand. In a short while, a passage had merged with the surrounding area, and no sign of its existence could be discerned.

As soon as we returned to the island, the little monkey came jumping over, unaware of its huge size. It was as active as a newborn cub. It was a pity that the shaking earth brought a strong sense of oppression to both humans and zombies.

Qin Jin watched it approach and reached out to pull Lu Weiyi, but it picked up Lu Weiyi and put him on his shoulder. The corner of his mouth twitched, "How are you going to leave?"

"Let's just go." Lu Weiyi looked towards the island. The surroundings had become the territory of zombies. There was no place worth lingering. "What about you?"

"Let's go." Qin Jin didn't say who he was talking to, and took the lead to walk towards the coastline. While Lu Weiyi commanded the little monkey to follow, several zombies also followed them.

When they got to the shore, they found that the remaining people were noisy and arguing about something. Lu Weiyi sat high up and could see far, so he recognized Su Yan in the middle of the crowd at a glance.

Su Yan happened to see him, waved at him, and said directly to the man next to him, "Isn't Captain Lu here? If you have any questions, just ask him directly."

"What's wrong?" Lu Weiyi looked around and recognized a few people around Su Yan, but he had no impression of the rest.

"Captain Lu, hello, I am Mao Jiang, the deputy captain of the Xu family team at the Hope Base..."

When Lu Weiyi heard where the other party came from, he glanced at Su Yan. The moment they looked at each other, they immediately understood what was going on.

"I want to ask if our captain has come here to exchange for the zombie energy release potion."

"This is what is done downstairs. I can help you check the record. Is there any problem with the medicine?" Lu Weiyi pretended to know nothing and took out a booklet from the space and began to read it.

"We don't want to exchange anymore. Can you return the supplies to us?" the person next to Mao Jiang asked.

"Of course you can. As long as the medicine is intact and has not been opened and used, it can be returned or exchanged." Lu Weiyi paused here and looked at the few people. "However, there is no record of the Xu family team purchasing it here."

"Could it be that you took something from someone else and are using it to trick me?" Lu Weiyi's voice was smiling, but his eyes were cold.

"Didn't Xu Sen give you the supplies?" someone asked anxiously.

"He did give me some supplies, but he said that was the reward for treating his leg. He paid my people to treat his injury, and since the goods were paid, what's the problem?"

"But the supplies he took were simply stolen," the person who spoke said in a tearful voice, "He stole the supplies we needed to survive, used them for himself, and now he's escaped."

"We can't find anyone and we have no supplies. How are we going to survive in this day and age?"

"I have children at home who depend on the supplies to survive."

"He's the captain, how could he do this?"

The man squatted on the ground and started crying. If he had confronted Lu Weiyi head-on, Lu Weiyi would have taught him a lesson, but seeing him collapse in such a miserable state, he couldn't bear it.

Especially since he knew about it, watching Xu Sen escape was tantamount to condoning him.

At that time, he only sighed for Xu Sen's fate, but now when he saw these people, he truly felt the plight of the victims - they were just ordinary people who might die if they were short of a batch of supplies.

"I can't return the things given to the base, and he came here on behalf of the team. It is assumed that it is your team's intention. It is only natural for me to receive supplies when I paid something of equal value."

Several people remained silent. It seemed that they knew they couldn't be blamed on him, but their expressions showed confusion.

They must have just arrived, their clothes were covered with scratches and dust, and everyone looked exhausted after a hurried journey, which made their journey look even more difficult.

Su Yan pursed his lips and opened his mouth, then just sighed after a long while, "Xu Sen left in a hurry yesterday at noon, saying that there was something going on at home and he was anxious to return to the base."

"He didn't even go back. His father asked him to steal the supplies from the base and treat his leg. He then committed suicide. He didn't even think about our lives!"

"This beast wants us to die..."

Amidst the cacophony of criticism, Lu Weiyi suddenly said, "I also have some responsibility in this matter."

He took out a warehouse with 50,000 kilograms of seeds that Tang Bai had sent but had not yet been stored, and said, "This is 10,000 kilograms of grain seeds, take them."

"But these..."

"I know the value is not equal, but you have to believe that even if you have those things now, no base is willing to exchange them with you for food," Lu Weiyi pointed out directly.

Food is the foundation, and everything else exists only for survival.

"These are all the things you have. Whether you can survive is up to you."

As someone who knew everything clearly, Su Yan immediately said when he saw the situation, "Put them away quickly. There is a shortage of food everywhere now. Don't let others get it for free."

The group understood his hint and immediately thanked Lu Weiyi and walked towards the grain pile.

Su Yan sighed and looked at Lu Weiyi and the zombies following him, "What are you doing..."

"I'm going to investigate the changes in the surrounding terrain, and they want to go too, so it's a good opportunity for us to go together," Lu Weiyi said, looking at the dozen or so people who were excitedly gathering around the grain seeds. "Watch out on the road, and don't let the wrong people touch them."

If anything that leaves Yuebanwan causes them to be killed, it would be Yuebanwan's fault.

Since you are a good person, you naturally have to do good things to the end.

Hearing the protective meaning in his words, deputy captain Mao Jiang immediately stepped forward to thank him.

Lu Weiyi waved his hand and said, "You guys should go back soon. The latest solar storm may be coming soon. When the time comes, take the team to hide and avoid head-on contact."

"Okay." Su Yan smiled at the boy sitting on the little monkey's shoulder, made a gesture of cupping his hands, and said in a casual manner, "Then let's keep our green mountains and green rivers flowing forever?"

"Haha...see you later." Lu Weiyi waved his hand and patted the little monkey. The man and the monkey, followed by several zombies, completely left the base where they had lived for six years.

After waiting until the island of Yueban Bay completely disappeared from sight, Lu Weiyi looked at Qin Jin who was sitting on the giant wolf spirit body, and pointed suspiciously at the zombies that had followed them all the way, "How long will they follow?"

Even though he knew that Qin Jin would suppress these zombies and would not attack him, there was still a difference in species. Occasionally, Lu Weiyi could still see the desire for him on the faces of these zombies.

As they were both attractive to each other, Lu Weiyi was very understanding of their feelings.

"They can prevent us from being attacked by zombies on the road, and can also help clear the way for hunting. Wouldn't it be good to follow them?" Qin Jin did not answer directly, but laid out the benefits.

"That's good, it's good," Lu Weiyi smacked his lips, "but I'm afraid that I won't be able to control myself and attack them when I'm short of crystal cores."

After all, there are SS-level zombies among those following Qin Jin. This level is really rare, and it makes me a little tempted.

"..."The only SS-level Cheng Qi.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to show his teeth, but after taking a look at Qin Jin beside him, he silently took a step back and stood behind Qin Jin, acting like a protected person.

Qin Jin didn't react much, "Why don't you think about digging my crystal core?"

"Do you have a crystal core?" Lu Weiyi looked at the black pile in front of him curiously.

He was also a little curious whether he could absorb the SSS-level zombie energy. If upgrading a psychic to the SSS level means completely eliminating the zombie energy in the body, does that mean that Qin Jin's body now does not contain any energy that a psychic can absorb?

"Probably not." Qin Jin thought about it and answered seriously, "My upgrade is probably the same as yours. I am integrating energy into my body."

"Do you want to try it?" He even stretched out a hand, and it seemed that as long as Lu Weiyi nodded, he would take off a finger for him to try.

"Forget it." Lu Weiyi glanced at his feet. The toes that he had cut off with his own hands had not yet recovered.

The healing ability of the psychic was of no use to him. He tried to use energy to heal the wounds on his body, but he was unable to use energy to simulate limbs that were identical to those on other parts of his body.

Thinking of this, Lu Weiyi decided that instead of bothering himself, it would be better to go back and assign the task to the two healing psychics, especially Xu Yi. After all, he had spent 10,000 kilograms of grain seeds on him, and it was time for him to pay back.

Lu Weiyi was so happy that the smile on her face became even brighter, which made Qin Jin puzzled.

"I'm a fire type, you're a spirit type. We may encounter situations on the road that require other powers. It's easier to deal with them if you bring them along," Qin Jin explained why they had been following.

"You told Wu Yue yesterday that they would delay the SSS-level schedule, and there are S-level zombies among the zombies sent today." Lu Weiyi raised his eyebrows, looking as if to say that you are not honest.

Qin Jin didn't say anything, but the zombies following him couldn't help but said, "We won't get tired."

"That's awesome of you."

“……”Zombies.

"Puchi" Qin Jin laughed, stopped the giant wolf and turned around, pointing at a few of them and introducing them, "Cheng Qi, there is no need for me to introduce him, he is SS level in water element; Li Guang, who you have dealt with, is S level in wood element; the fat one is Zhang Qing, S level in earth element; the kid is Yu Li, S level in metal element; the last one is in healing element".

Lu Weiyi's gaze lingered on the only woman for a moment. The woman's consciousness didn't seem to be very clear. She looked at him dazedly, then with fear, and even shrank back under Lu Weiyi's gaze.

His consciousness seemed incomplete, and he couldn't communicate normally like other zombies, but his clothes were clean, but his hands were pitch black. Even so, his skin was intact, without any signs of being bitten by zombies.

"Low-level zombies have an instinctive fear of those who are too high-level," Qin Jin explained her behavior, "Xu Xiao is a healing zombie that I have been looking for for a long time. Her promotion is a bit slow, and she is still at level B. Bringing her along can save her life in case of an accident."

He looked at Lu Weiyi, and Lu Weiyi shook his head, "The healing system is of no use to me. If you let her follow me, I'm really afraid that one day I won't be able to resist digging out her crystal core."

He looked at Qin Jin frankly, "You know, healing crystal cores are very rare. There are very few healing psychics in our base who have absorbed them. It's really a test for me if you let her follow you."

"..." Qin Jin.

Qin Jin was speechless, but he didn't ask the other party to go back, "Follow me."

Lu Weiyi glanced at the remaining zombies. Cheng Qi had a blank expression on his face, and Li Guang kept chattering with Zhang Qing beside him with half of his face exposed. They really didn't seem to feel tired. Zhang Qing even took the time to expose the hole in his belly hidden under his clothes, and took out his intestines and shook them for fun.

Even though Lu Weiyi had seen it countless times, he still found it hard to accept seeing a piece of intestine waving in front of him at such a close distance, especially, "Is there something inside?"

Lu Weiyi was worried that some unknown object would suddenly fly out at some point, and he would definitely kill the zombie on the spot.

It took Qin Jin a moment to understand and he burst into laughter.

This was probably the first time that Zhang Qing was asked this kind of question. His face looked grim and his hands holding his intestines clenched tightly.

"It's almost broken," Lu Weiyi kindly reminded.

Zhang Qing didn't appreciate it at all. Looking at his expression, if Qin Jin hadn't been there, he would probably have taken action directly.

"I. Wash.," said each word, and Zhang Qing took a deep breath out of habit, looking no different from other people.

This was the first time that Lu Weiyi observed the behavior of zombies up close. It was extremely strange. He nodded and looked at the last child.

The child looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, and was dressed neatly, looking no different from an ordinary child. Even the look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Weiyi showed no inappropriate emotion. He reached out and held the woman from the healing department, as if he was protecting her.

Qin Jin continued to drive the giant wolf forward and whispered to Lu Weiyi about their affairs, "Zhang Qing and Li Guang were good friends before the end of the world, and they have a good relationship now. They seem to be quarreling at ordinary times, but if anyone dares to attack one of them, the two will definitely cooperate."

"Xu Xiao... She was bitten by her son. I don't know how she awakened her healing ability. The remaining strength..."

Qin Jin put together the words, "He was the first person with superpowers to awaken in the apocalypse, and he had been protecting his family. However, he was chased by zombies during the transfer, and his adoptive parents pushed him into the zombie pile, and he became a zombie. At that time, his superpowers were already A-level."

"He was lucky. There was Xu Xiao among the zombies at that time. She probably saw that he looked like her son, so she used the healing system to help him. I'm not sure what specific sounds he made during the process, but he was the only zombie with clear cognition at level A."

"After that, Yu Li supported Xu Xiao until I met them and brought them back to the team."

Lu Weiyi looked back and saw Yu Li bending down to help her pull out the broken branch that was stuck on her body. He looked like a normal child with his stupid mother, as if - there was really no difference between him and humans.

"What are your plans for the future? Are those on the island conscious zombies?" Lu Weiyi also began to worry about Qin Jin's future.

Qin Jin shook his head and did not answer. He was also confused about the future.

If it were someone with ideals and ambitions, he might have established a zombie nation, but Qin Jin grew up in a good family atmosphere. His life was smooth sailing, his parents had a harmonious relationship, and although he and his lover had experienced some ups and downs, they loved each other and now have a lovely child.

He had everything good, but his only regret was that they were human beings, while he became a zombie.

There is a huge abyss between him and the people he cares about, which makes Qin Jin less interested in other things.

"Some zombies encouraged me to stand up against the zombie army and destroy the human base." Qin Jin looked at Lu Weiyi with a smile, "What do you think of this suggestion?"

Lu Weiyi thought about it seriously and nodded, "Very good."

"It's a pity for Yin Jin and Qin Nian. I'm afraid they will be hung on the city wall first."

Qin Jin's face suddenly darkened, "Are you threatening me?"
