Chapter 897: Retreat

Lu Weiyi's return calmed the hearts of everyone who were originally anxious about the operation, and they finally had the leisure to look at the person and the deceased at the door of the operating room.

Even though they had heard about their relationship before, rumors were not as real as seeing it with their own eyes. Seeing Yin Jin sitting upright and Qin Jin wanting to speak but seeing his evasive look and remaining silent, they all stretched their necks to gossip.

Fortunately, the gossip master Dean was in the operating room at that time, otherwise he would have come forward to ask in a very tactless manner. But because he was not there, everyone was embarrassed to get close and could only watch from afar, missing out on the first-hand information.

Qin Nian didn't know how to pay attention to the surrounding situation. He was sitting next to Zhuang Aiyi at this time. Seeing him staring blankly at the door of the operating room with his eyes downcast, he didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, he took out two candies from his pocket and handed them to him, "Brother, have some candy."

"Brother doesn't want to eat it, so Nian Nian will eat it." Even though his two fathers were no longer around, Zhuang Aiyi still maintained his adult image. Even though he was sad, he still opened the oil paper package of the candy and stuffed one into Qin Nian's and Tao Tao's mouths respectively. .

Qin Nian sipped the sweet taste and looked in front of him, "When will uncle come out?"

"It's almost done, the little daddy is in, everything will be fine soon." Zhuang Aiyi said this with a confused look, and the attention of several adults was instantly focused on him.

Xu Sa took a step forward, squatted in front of him and asked, "Aiyi, godfather is waiting here, you go back with grandpa to eat, okay?"

"If you don't go, your brothers will get hungry even if they accompany you. Why don't you take your brothers with you?" Xu Sa didn't wait for him to refuse and pulled the two little kids beside him in.

The two children didn't understand what surgery meant at all. They looked at Zhuang Aiyi with gleaming eyes. Lin Yimu stepped forward to persuade him, and he nodded in agreement, "I'll be back soon, godfather will help me watch over him."

"Don't worry, godfather is always here," Xu Sa assured him.

"I'll take them out for dinner."

Yin Jin stood up, and Qin Jin followed immediately. Xu Sa glanced at Lin Yimu, motioning him to join him, and took the initiative to entertain him, "Brother Damu, can you help Brother Qin arrange a bedroom? Wu Yue, the room next to you is empty, right?"

"Yes, Qin Jin, you can stay at my house. Feel free to ask for anything you need," Wu Yue replied immediately.

Qin Jin glanced at Yin Jin, nodded, and followed him away.

Five hours later, Zhuang Mingxu was pushed out of the operating room, followed by Lu Weiyi who was supported by someone. Compared to Zhuang Mingxu who was unconscious, he looked like the one in more serious condition.

Zhuang Aiyi, who came early after dinner, couldn't hide her panic when she saw people, and was hugged by Xu Sa to prevent her from running up.

"It's okay. My energy consumption is a bit serious. I'll be fine after a rest." Lu Weiyi's lips were cracked and he spoke weakly. He had been consuming his energy to maintain the shape of a phoenix on the way back. His energy was already depleted, and he had been highly tense and compressing the remaining energy. At this moment, he felt as if all the energy in his body was tightened and could break at any time.

"Master, I'll take you back to rest." Lin Yimu stepped forward and wanted to carry the person on his back, but Xu Sa stuffed Zhuang Aiyi into his arms, stepped forward and pulled the person onto his back, "I'll do it."

"I'm not going back. Free up my bed. I just want to rest for a while." Zhuang Mingxu is still in the observation period, and he can't leave at this time.

At this time, no one tried to persuade him and placed him next to Zhuang Mingxu. The others asked about the operation and breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that it went well.

A healing psychic was left behind to deal with any unexpected situations at any time. Xu Sa stayed nearby, Lin Yimu looked after the two children, and Lu Weiyi went straight back to the space - the space had sufficient energy, which would be more effective in restoring his psychic powers.

Not daring to delay for too long, half an hour later, Lu Weiyi returned to the ward. This time, he held the crystal core in his hand to absorb it, and then he had the energy to ask Qin Jin about his arrangements.

"I asked him to stay in the room between Wu Yue and Ning Yuan. I originally wanted Wu Yue to entertain him, but he kept following Yin Jin, and Yin Jin didn't object. I told Yin Jin to be careful and let him go." Qin Jin's identity made it difficult for them to stop him too much, as it would easily cause conflicts. Xu Sa could only make arrangements as much as possible.

"Did Yin Jin show a strong attitude?"

"Yin Jin has a calm personality. Apart from Nian Nian's affairs, he never gets too emotional. He told me that knowing Qin Jin's current identity, he will not bring any trouble to the base." This saved Xu Sa from hinting. It must be said that he is really considerate.

"That's good." Lu Weiyi yawned while holding Zhuang Aiyi who was nestled in his arms, and looked at the man on the bed with various instruments inserted. The treatment department had already restored his open head, and there was no visible scar on the outside, but the craniotomy still made him look much more haggard.

He didn't know when it started, but deep wrinkles appeared on his forehead, and he even frowned unconsciously when he slept.

"I will take over the base's affairs from now on. Tell me about the current arrangements and configurations of the base, as well as what has happened in the past few months."

Xu Sa felt a little distressed and roughly recounted what had happened, "Most of them have been resolved by Brother Mingxu, but the Mountain God Base and the Suicide Squad are hidden dangers. Fortunately, you are back now, their demands have been resolved, and they can be comforted later."

"Well, go and make some arrangements and put the treatment at the Mountain God Base on track. It's not a good idea to delay the plants in the body for a long time."

"Am I going to be busy again?" Xu Yi was curled up in bed playing a single-player game, and suddenly interrupted, "Can you send Luo Feifei from Lieyan to come with us to take turns with us?"

He paused, as if he didn't want to say it but couldn't hide it. Under Lu Weiyi's gaze, he said after a while, "I feel that my supernatural powers may be upgraded again, but..."

"I don't feel very good, and Dean's upgrade speed in the past two years is no slower than mine, so it should be fast too."

Healing upgrade...

Lu Weiyi felt a headache just thinking about it, but seeing that Xu Yi was trying his best to keep a cool face and appear calm, his hands were still stroking the game console he put down in panic, he could only nod calmly and replied that he knew and would arrange it.

"Our base now has four healing departments?"

"Yes, in addition to Xu Yi and Dean, Major General Lu brought one here. There was originally one at the Mountain God Base, but Mo Tiantian rarely receives treatment now. Her grandfather will beat out anyone who dares to come to her house."

"What do you mean?" Lu Weiyi asked.

Xu Sa sighed, "I think you once said before that their abilities are not legitimate, and they won't live long if they overuse them?"

Lu Weiyi tried to recall, "Well, they are indeed consuming their own lives using their supernatural powers."

"It's true," Xu Sa said, "After the news came out, some of the people with special abilities in the original Shanshen base began to quit the team, saying that they didn't want to continue using their special abilities in the future."

Lu Weiyi frowned and listened to Xu Sa continue, "Not everyone can carry out the task. The base distributes supplies according to the amount of labor. Ordinary people are just surviving, and few can hold on. But Grandpa Mo is different. He is an old doctor himself, and he can survive with his granddaughter. It's a matter of life and death, and no one can say anything."

"It's okay if you don't want to, but what about Luo Feifei?"

"She is still in the middle stage of A-level and she still has a few years to upgrade to S-level, but her control over the treatment profession is not good enough. Many major operations or treatments still require the intervention of our Dr. Xu and Dean."

"Give her more training." At this point, Lu Weiyi remembered that he had planned to have the two healing departments at the base develop the ability to heal at the SSS level. "How are your abilities going? Are you about to upgrade?"

“……”Xu Sa.

"I've been very busy recently." Xu Sa covered his forehead and lay on the bed that was specially placed there. "I don't know what those people in the research institute are doing. The mutated animals in the back mountain attack from time to time. We are almost exhausted from taking turns to lead people to defend. If you don't go and take care of it, when will this end?"

"You didn't report it to your superiors?" Lu Weiyi felt that it was impossible that no one would handle such a big thing.

"Brother Mingxu said that what they are doing now is very important and there is no solution for the time being, so let us just treat it as a broken chain of supernatural powers."

"Oh, then you guys go ahead."

Xu Sa was so angry at Lu Weiyi's sudden change of attitude that he gritted his teeth, "You didn't even ask?"

"There are too many things to ask. Let me take my time." Lu Weiyi gave her a stick and immediately added sweet dates. "I will open up a space to improve your supernatural powers later, and you can stay there for a few more days then."

Xu Sa sat up all of a sudden and said, "Let me make the first batch, half... no... a month."

Without waiting for Lu Weiyi's response, he immediately played the victim, "Most of the people in the team are now SS-level, and they are not very willing for me to lead the team out. Sigh... I really..."

"Don't be shameless, the limit is half a month." Lu Weiyi rolled his eyes at him, and Xu Sa immediately became happy, "You are worthy of being a good brother, I knew you were thinking about me all the time."

The next morning, Yin Jin and Qin Jin came to the door. They were wearing the clothes that Qin Jin bought at the base. Qin Nian also took Qin Jin's hand and introduced him to Zhuang Aiyi, saying that he was her biological father.

Seeing Qin Jin carefully retracting his nails and bending down to accommodate Qin Nian's height as much as possible to walk with him, Yin Jin looked at the two of them gently without any displeasure on his face. Lu Weiyi also breathed a sigh of relief - Qin Jin is now the representative of the zombies, and Yin Jin's attitude as a representative is still crucial. Seeing that they have no conflicts, he can also feel at ease.

Qin Jin greeted Zhuang Aiyi and Taotao and gave them the gifts they had chosen. Yin Jin stepped forward to inquire about Zhuang Mingxu's situation.

"The doctor said he should wake up today," Lu Weiyi glanced in the direction of Qin Jin, "He used the excuse of escorting me back to the base. I think he wanted to meet you. Of course, if you don't want to contact him or have any difficulties, just tell me at any time. The base won't force you."

Yin Jin followed his gaze and saw Qin Jin, a grown man, clumsily taking care of Qin Nian with gentle eyes, "It's not forced. This is good too."

"Can I take him home? Uncle and aunt don't know he's here yet?"

Qin Jin also looked over when he heard his question. Lu Weiyi met his gaze and nodded, "Okay, but you know your situation. There are ordinary people at home, and the level of the psychics is not as good as yours. You'd better be careful in your life and don't hurt them." The zombie energy carried by ordinary zombies can already have an impact on the people around them, not to mention Qin Jin, the zombie king. It is not known whether he can control it. Lu Weiyi wanted to ask, but he didn't know if it was appropriate, so he hasn't mentioned it yet.

These words were a bit direct, and Qin Jin's face darkened slightly, but when Qin Nian, who didn't know the situation, pulled his finger and shook it, he immediately returned to a gentle smile, "What's wrong?"

"Let me introduce my grandparents to you. They are so nice, and the food my grandma cooks is so delicious." Qin Nian praised in a baby voice, making exaggerated movements with his little hands.

"Okay," Qin Jin responded and glanced at Lu Weiyi, as if answering him.

"Then he will be handed over to you for the next period of time. I will take over the affairs of the base. You have been busy for so long, so take a good rest," Lu Weiyi said to Yin Jin.

"Can you handle it?" Zhuang Mingxu has been in a bad condition recently, and it has been his assistant Yin Jin who has been supporting him in everything. Now that Lu Weiyi suddenly took over, he was a little worried that the other party would not be able to handle it.

"Just get used to it slowly." Lu Weiyi glanced at Zhuang Mingxu. Perhaps he had a clear understanding of his own abilities. He didn't feel that he couldn't do it at all.

Yin Jin wanted to stay and help, but Qin Jin's pursed lips and look at him silently expressed his expectations. He gritted his teeth and finally said, "If you have any problems, you can come to me anytime."

"OK".

After chatting for a few words, Qin Jin winked at Lu Weiyi, made an excuse to go to the bathroom, and walked out.

"Do zombies need to go to the toilet?" Xu Sa asked in surprise with his mouth.

Lu Weiyi rolled his eyes at him, stuffed the half-fed meal into Taotao's hand, then stood up and walked out.

The two of them walked to the end of the corridor. Qin Jin was still worried and looked around to make sure there was no one around. Then he spoke, "I heard from Ning Yuan that your base has many research institutes in different departments. Is there any one that specializes in studying zombies?"

"Of course."

Qin Jin fiddled with his fingers, as if he was making a decision. After a while, he said, "Can you give me a checkup?"

"Do you want them to do a check-up?" The only SSS-level zombie. If it were someone else, Lu Weiyi would have wanted to capture him and send him to the laboratory. However, since it was Qin Jin, and he behaved no differently from a human, Lu Weiyi gave up the idea. He didn't expect that he would bring it up on his own initiative.

"It's just the control of zombie energy, especially inside the body." Qin Jin looked at Lu Weiyi meaningfully when he said this. Unfortunately, Lu Weiyi didn't understand. He frowned and looked at him thoughtfully. "Your zombie energy is all over your body. Isn't this a certainty?"

There was a "tsk" sound behind him, and Ning Yuan strode over. "He wants to ask you whether your body fluids and semen contain any ingredients that can infect people?"

After the words fell, he looked towards Qin Jin's lower three roads, and also lowered his voice, "Are zombies still okay?"

Qin Jin's face was gloomy, and he said word by word, "How about letting you try?"

"No, no, haha." Ning Yuan laughed and ran away, "I'll take you there later. The captain has other things to do and can't take care of you."

Qin Jin gritted his teeth and raised his foot to chase after the person, but Lu Weiyi stopped him with his hand, "I have something to ask you."

Qin Jin turned around and looked at him.

Lu Weiyi lowered his head and looked at him after a while, "What will happen to ordinary people who are infected by you?"

Qin Jin was about to say that he would be careful, but looking at his expression he definitely didn't look like he was worried about others. He looked towards the ward at the end of the corridor, and without asking the specific reason, he just said, "High-level zombies just contain more concentrated zombie energy than ordinary zombies, and infect faster. There is no other difference."

"Have you ever seen a high-level zombie without consciousness?"

"Yes, but most of the body has been damaged, some of the brain and some of the heart. I can't be sure what the cause is." Qin Jin saw that he seemed to be thinking about something seriously, and said frankly, "Also, the so-called recovery of consciousness of zombies is not the recovery of human memory as you imagine. It is just the recovery of human behavior and thinking. Not everyone can recover their memory."

Lu Weiyi suddenly looked up at him, and Qin Jin nodded seriously, "Li Guang only has consciousness, and his memory of the past is very vague. It cannot be said that he completely forgets it. After being reminded, he will feel familiar, but that is not what he remembers."

"But he told me about his time as a human being." Lu Weiyi's eyes were confused and anxious.

"That's what Zhang Qing told him, and he just remembered it," Qin Jin broke his expectations, "Half of his skull was cut off. The part that is intact now is a bone taken from another zombie and repaired by Xu Xiao. If you look closely, you can see the completely mismatched arcs."

Lu Weiyi fell completely silent.

Qin Jin also did not speak. After a while, he said in a sad and sobbing voice, "If...if there is no choice, it is better not to think like this. What humans and zombies will face..."

Qin Nian's voice calling "Dad" came from the front, Qin Jin strode away, and the last heavy sigh seemed to hit Lu Weiyi's heart.
