Chapter 855 The Storm is Coming

"Are you threatening me?"

"I'm just telling the truth," Lu Weiyi said calmly. "When I came back from Laoshan, I happened to see various bases besieging the Yuebanwan base. Their excuse at the time was to hand over your parents. If Ning Yuan hadn't seen them, they would have almost committed suicide."

"If one of our bases can be treated like this, what about two people? An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure, and none of us can be exempted."

"Then you told them about the upgrade. You are so selfless," Qin Jin said sarcastically.

"No, I'm just preparing helpers in advance," Lu Weiyi explained seriously, "Were you caught by a laboratory before?"

"How do you know?" Qin Jin suddenly turned his head to look over.

"Oh, I encountered it too, and rescued the little monkey there. It was a human testing laboratory in Yue's country. Laoshan was attacked before, and it was related to that place. After I encountered it this time, I took it down."

"..." Qin Jin.

Being also at SSS level, he felt somewhat ashamed of himself as a zombie.

"The main research direction there is the genetic fusion of humans and animals, and..." He looked at Qin Jin, "controlling zombies."

"Control the zombies?" Qin Jin paused, and the giant wolf spirit stopped walking. Several zombies following behind him also came up with interest, "Find a place to rest."

"Yes," Cheng Qi responded immediately. He stretched out his hand to control the water flow and cleared the surrounding weeds to create a clearing. Li Guang immediately directed the plants to weave a stool.

"It's time for lunch," Qin Jin gestured as if to invite us in. "What did you mean by controlling the zombies?"

Lu Weiyi knew that Qin Jin had been controlled in the laboratory before, but he was not clear about the specific process of his departure. However, he did not expect that he did not even know this.

Sitting comfortably on a stool that exuded the fragrance of plants, Lu Weiyi stretched lazily and touched his stomach, "It's indeed time for dinner."

"...What do you want to eat?" Qin Jin felt disgusted for the first time.

"I'm not picky about food, fruits, vegetables and meat are all good." Lu Weiyi is also shameless.

Qin Jin knew that nothing that humans in the wild could eat was of low quality, let alone fruits and vegetables, but he still waved his hand, motioning them to do it, and looked at Lu Weiyi again.

After a while, the few people dispersed completely. The last two left, Xu Xiao and Yu Li, did not follow the others to find food, but stayed a little distance away from them, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

Lu Weiyi tapped his fingers on his leg for a moment, took out a black controller from the space and handed it to Qin Jin, "I don't know the details. After all, we have only captured a limited number of people and don't have much information."

"We discovered this from the brains of zombies that can be controlled by humans. He connected to the zombies through brain nerves to achieve the purpose of controlling the zombies."

"That laboratory is Yue's own laboratory. You should know it since you have been there. The person in charge of the project is a professor named An He. It is said that he has achieved remarkable results and he specially brought his experimental subjects back to the headquarters. This led to everything that happened after the laboratory breach."

"People from the base research institute calculated the movement of their country's plates over the past month and found that there is a high probability that it will border our country. Judging from the effects they want to achieve with their two technologies, I reasonably suspect that they will one day target us. Maybe that time will be the time for us to demonstrate our strength and solidarity."

Qin Jin held the fingernail-sized object between his fingers and considered how to disassemble it. "So this is your plan for a rainy day?"

"Haha, I really can't say that," Lu Weiyi laughed, "The main thing is that it has no impact on me. The people in our base will always know about it anyway. If I sell it well to them, on the one hand, they won't make trouble when I leave, and on the other hand, it will be easier for us to cooperate in the future."

"If it weren't for the magnetic field and the solar storm, our original plan would have been to explore where they might be and directly unite with the various bases to eliminate them, but now..."

They no longer had the time to deal with these people, even though they knew they might be potentially dangerous.

"I will let the zombies gather information later, and I will notify you at any time if I find any unusual movements."

"How do zombies transmit messages to each other?" Lu Weiyi was extremely curious. When he heard Lu Xiao say that it was the zombies that found the three of them, he was surprised. He didn't expect that they could actually transmit messages.

Qin Jin chuckled twice but didn't answer. Lu Weiyi didn't ask any more questions. Seeing that he wanted to explore the chip, Lu Weiyi told him the results of the base's research. "Our technology was not as good as theirs before, and now we lack top scientific research talents, so we can't completely replicate it for the time being. However, the solar storm has caused many of them to fail, which does give us a chance to breathe. I just don't know what the future will be like."

Thinking of the situation at the base, Lu Weiyi sighed, "We really don't have the energy to think about those things right now. It's not easy to survive."

After dinner, the group set out on their return journey again. Following Qin Jin's instructions, they took the shortest route. During the journey, they passed by several bases, which they quietly avoided.

With the care of several zombies along the way, Lu Weiyi had a very comfortable life. It was a pity that he was not confident in their cooking, so Lu Weiyi had to do it himself, and the taste was a little worse.

There was a rainstorm on the third day after we left. The rainstorm in the middle of summer came so fast that everyone was caught off guard and was soaked to the bone.

At noon, the weather was as gloomy as ink, and the deafening thunder seemed to tear the sky apart. It struck the jungle with oppression and soon caused a forest fire.

Fortunately, the rain was heavy enough and the fire did not burn, but it did prevent them from moving forward.

With the presence of the giant little monkey, the places they built to take shelter and rest were more spacious, and it seemed a bit empty for humans to stay in them.

Bored, Lu Weiyi and Zhuang Mingxu passed messages and told each other about the situation on both sides. Zhuang Mingxu was fine now and started to deal with the base affairs again.

Lieyan's arrival did not cause chaos in the base. In fact, because of their cooperation, the entire base became much more stable. Perhaps because they knew that Lu Weiyi might return at any time, the original Shanshen Base and the Suicide Squad became much more obedient.

[We have been working overtime these past two days to prepare identity information for the new members. After Lieyan's team has finished, they have started to go out to collect information about the surrounding areas. My uncle has a good plan, so don't worry].

Lu Weiyi echoed and glanced at Qin Jin who was resting with his eyes closed in the corner, and replied, "Qin Jin said they would send me back. Did they tell you?" 】

[He wants to meet Yin Jin and the others, right? 】Zhuang Mingxu saw through Qin Jin’s thoughts at a glance.

[I suspect the same thing] Lu Weiyi covered his mouth and laughed, which attracted Qin Jin's gaze. He immediately turned his eyes away as if nothing had happened, [Have you told them? 】

[No] Zhuang Mingxu answered straightforwardly, [Before, when Qin Jin wanted to see the child, Yin Jin was ready to meet him first. After that, there was no news. Yin Jin was silent for a long time. Now let's just leave him alone].

[You are such a good brother] Lu Weiyi commented.

Zhuang Mingxu, who was lying on the hospital bed, was amused and started laughing. He glanced at the desk that was specially cleared out in the corner of the ward. Yin Jin was sitting there helping to review documents. The thick stack of documents was enough to cover him completely.

Zhuang Mingxu's body has recovered a lot, but he still has symptoms of dizziness and vomiting. Nowadays, the medicine is in short supply and non-renewable, and there is no effective treatment, so he can only proceed conservatively, which also results in very slow effects.

The healing psychic has returned, but since it concerns the brain, no one dares to act rashly, so they can only proceed slowly like this.

But Lu Weiyi was no longer fit to continue reviewing documents on his way back, so Yin Jin had to take over in the end. Looking at the dark circles under the other person's eyes despite his best efforts, Zhuang Mingxu felt more and more that his brother was not a good person.

Comparing himself with several others, he actually felt that he was the happiest.

Lu Weiyi knew without much thought that Yin Jin might have been exploited again. Thinking of Wu Yue's situation discussed yesterday, Lu Weiyi talked about the adjustment of Wu Yue, [If possible, let him take over the government work].

[Isn’t he in charge of the affairs of the Psychic Union? Is there any reason for the adjustment? 】Lu Weiyi seldom interferes with personnel adjustments. This was the first time he spoke so bluntly about personnel transfers, and Zhuang Mingxu couldn't help but think he was overthinking it.

[Or do you want your uncle to be in charge of this? 】

Lu Weiyi was just wondering how to answer when he heard Zhuang Mingxu's message coming quickly.

[I know you don't want your uncle to go out again, but compared to the teams in the base, Lieyan is still an outside team. If you let them integrate, everyone may not mind for your sake, but if you directly manage the Psychic Team, it will easily cause resistance from them, and it will be difficult to continue the work].

[You can let your uncle get along with everyone for a while first, and then gradually change in this direction, giving them a transition period to accept it].

Looking at the messages that Zhuang Mingxu kept sending, Lu Weiyi was silent for a long time and still didn't know how to tell Zhuang Mingxu. Wu Yue's situation was not suitable for continuing to manage the Psychic Union. SS-level superpowers were already his pinnacle, but this was not the case for others.

His current level allows him to manage others, but this may not be the case in the future.

Lu Weiyi sighed and replied, "Forget it, let’s talk about it later."

I think since they haven't even upgraded to S-level yet, it's impossible for them to surpass Wu Yue in a short time.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Weiyi was just about to tell Zhuang Mingxu to rest when he heard Xu Xiao, who was curled up in the corner, fall to the ground and struggle and twitch as if he was in some pain.

Yu Li beside him was the first to notice that something was wrong with her. She shook her arm and looked in Qin Jin's direction in panic.

Qin Jin, who noticed the movement, came closer like a gust of wind. The other zombies also walked over curiously. Lu Weiyi took a look from a distance, and then his attention was attracted by the lightning that kept flashing outside.

Rays of light flashed across the sky, and each time they lit up, it seemed to split the clouds in the sky into countless pieces, illuminating the colorful things hidden behind the clouds.

This familiar scene gave Lu Weiyi a bad feeling in his heart, "Qin Jin, is there a solar storm outside?"

While asking Qin Jin, Lu Weiyi quickly took out a radiation detector from the space. The moment the instrument was turned on, it suddenly exploded with a piercing and sharp cry.

Before Lu Weiyi could clearly see the radiation value displayed on it, the instrument puffed out a thick smoke and became scrapped.

"Hurry, go underground," Lu Weiyi shouted to the earth-type zombies in the team.

"Hurry up!" Qin Jin urged, and the ground beneath their feet instantly began to move underground.

The sight in front of him immediately began to drop, and soon disappeared on the ground. The lit fire also began to go out. The little monkey moved uncomfortably, and while leaning forward to look outside, he was also thinking about jumping out.

After being comforted by Lu Weiyi twice, the group continued to move underground. After nearly a hundred meters, Xu Xiao's ferocious expression began to ease.
