Chapter 100: The Poor Left Behind
After entering the room, Lu Weiyi finally understood what the woman meant by "only providing the room". It was a simple triple room with nothing in it except three beds and two bedside tables, not to mention any bedding. The bathroom also had a foul odor from someone else's previous use.
"Just make do with it for now." Li Zhuang saw Lu Weiyi's expression and knew that the young master probably had never suffered such hardship. He put the bag aside on the ground and comforted him, "We will leave tomorrow morning."
Lu Weiyi also knew that now was not the time to be picky, so he pursed his lips and nodded, then walked to the window and opened it.
After a while, Ning Yuan came up after parking the car.
He looked at the situation without any expression and said to Lu Weiyi, "Bring out some food. I'm starving."
"What do you want to eat?" Lu Weiyi asked.
In this environment, no matter how nice the food is, it actually tastes a bit disgusting. Ning Yuan ordered a few meat patties, and Lu Weiyi considerately took out a few bowls of porridge. The three of them ate it up in big gulps, and Ning Yuan prepared to look for Wu Yue.
"Let's go together, so we can take care of each other if something unexpected happens," Li Zhuang said to Ning Yuan, "There are windows on both sides of the corridor, it's best to go directly through the window and try not to be noticed when you leave."
Ning Yuan thought of Li Zhuang's skills and had no objection, but Lu Weiyi asked, "Can you sneak over there?"
Lu Weiyi nodded.
Li Zhuang signaled Lu Weiyi to put away all the supplies, and the three of them took advantage of the cover of night to jump out of the window.
The streets were deserted at night with almost no pedestrians. Relying on the occasional dim light from both sides of the road, the three of them quietly approached the Longmen Villa.
Before the end of the world, the Longmen Villa District covered a very large area. Those who lived here were either rich or noble. The security facilities in the community were very good. Although it is the end of the world now, a group of people at the top of this base are still living there, and there are guards at the entrance of the community even at night.
"The people coming in and out are strictly checked here. Only people inside can go in and out. Others can go in only with the owner's consent." Ning Yuan lowered his voice and told the two the news he had heard. "We can just jump over the wall and go in. The wall is a bit high. Is that okay?" He mainly asked Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi was really not good at climbing high places. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go directly through the main gate. You don't have to worry about me. Let's go in and meet at the entrance of the villa. West District 60...1, right?"
"...Yes." With Li Zhuang here, Ning Yuan couldn't ask directly how you got in. Seeing his affirmativeness, he could only agree, "Before I left, Mingxu, Wu Yue, Zhang Zun, Zheng Xin and the two brothers of the Li family lived in 601. We don't know what the situation is now. Don't act impulsively when you get there."
"Got it." Lu Weiyi nodded, explored with his mental power, and walked towards the door. Li Zhuang and Ning Yuan did not hesitate any more and turned to walk towards the place Ning Yuan had explored before.
The entrance to the community is not much different from before the apocalypse, except that the original two gates have become three. The originally sturdy security guard at the entrance has now been replaced by someone from some force. He is wearing the same security uniform, but he looks like he can't hold it up. His uniform is baggy and lifeless, and he looks a bit out of place. He is playing Landlord in the security booth.
Lu Weiyi covered his entire body with mental power and went straight into the residential area. After a while, he used only mental power to explore the surroundings and walked towards his own villa.
Although every household in the villa area has lighting, the villas are not very close to each other, so a person walking along the road is not conspicuous, and you can even occasionally run into one or two pedestrians. No one wants to offend those who can live here. When they see a "woman" like him outside late at night, at most they will look at him a few more times, and there is no misconduct.
Before the apocalypse, each of the Longmen villas was a large villa of thousands of square meters. Most of them were bought by wealthy people as venues for occasional gatherings. They had swimming pools and gardens, and it was almost impossible to enter directly.
Lu Weiyi stood at the door and looked inside. It was still the same as he remembered. The people inside had not gone to bed yet. In addition to the lights on the first floor, there was also a light on in a room on the second floor. Lu Weiyi thought about that location and was not sure if it was the room where Lin Yimu lived.
He wanted to stick the little green branch out to see what was going on inside, but the distance between the door and the inside was beyond the little green branch's detection range, so he had to give up. He looked around and didn't see Ning Yuan and Li Zhuang, so he decided to get closer and check the situation himself. He looked at the layout and went around to the side wall of the villa.
Jumping directly in from here is the hall. Lu Weiyi hid himself in the darkness and stretched the little green branch in. There were three men sitting in the living room on the first floor. Lu Weiyi looked carefully and didn't recognize any of them. The nearest room was empty, but the bed was tidy, so someone must be living there.
Lu Weiyi asked Xiao Luzhi to climb up to the second floor along the wall. There was a person sleeping in the room closest to him. The next room was the one with the light on, and Wu Yue was in it. He was sitting alone on the bed in a daze, with an untidy beard and looking quite rough. Going up further, their master bedroom on the third floor was now empty.
The detection range of the little green branch is limited, and Lu Weiyi has no way to detect any room farther away, so he can only take it back. After a while, the two men still hadn't arrived. Lu Weiyi wanted to go in directly, but he and Wu Yue were not familiar with each other before. After thinking about it, he decided to wait, but -
Lu Weiyi took out a piece of paper from the space and wrote in the dim light, [I am Lu Weiyi. Zhuang Mingxu was plotted against, so Ning Yuan and I came to find you. We will go upstairs later and draw the curtains to prevent anyone from being exposed].
After writing, he wrapped the note around the small green branch and returned to Wu Yue's room.
A roll of paper suddenly appeared in front of him, which obviously scared Wu Yue. He quickly picked up a black knife beside the bed, his eyes sharp, "What..." Before he could finish his words, Lu Weiyi had already manipulated the little green branch to unfold the paper, and the handwriting was exposed to his eyes.
Wu Yue suddenly swallowed back the question in his mouth. He carefully moved closer and barely saw that there was a very thin object tied to the paper. He took the paper off and asked in a low voice, "Lu Weiyi?"
The top of the small green branch is bent, as if nodding.
Wu Yue was about to ask something else when there was a knock on the door. He then asked, "Brother Wu, I heard you talking. Who is in your room?"
Wu Yue mouthed "hide", worried that Lu Weiyi didn't understand, and waved his hand outside, saying loudly: "The moth was shaken by the light and cast a dark shadow, which scared me." He saw the little green branch stuck to the window, and it was not clear if he didn't look carefully, so he walked over and opened the door, "San'er, is it your turn to patrol again?"
A tall and thin man was standing at the door, smiling brightly, but his brows were full of gloom. He stood at the door and looked inside, but didn't find anything strange. He smiled and said, "Yeah, if I hadn't heard you talking here, Brother Wu, I would have thought someone broke in here. Other forces in the base have been losing supplies these days, and Brother Li asked us to be alert."
"It's his duty. I don't know who is so wicked that he doesn't collect things himself but steals other people's. If I catch him, I will beat him half to death." Wu Yue said this with a look of resentment on his face. The man smiled and looked inside again. "Since there's nothing wrong, I'll go somewhere else. You should go to bed early, brother."
"I was woken up from a good sleep. I don't know if I can fall asleep again. Just turn around and go to sleep. The first floor is full of people with special abilities. It's not easy for others to sneak in. Don't be too honest."
"Okay, then I'll go to Angkor first."
Wu Yue waved his hand and closed the door after he left. After the footsteps outside had indeed faded away, he turned around and asked again, "Where is Lin Yimu?" He remembered that Zhuang Mingxu said that he asked Lin Yimu to protect Lu Weiyi before the earthquake.
The little green branch looked around, not knowing how to answer him, and retreated. Wu Yue stepped back and leaned against the wall, alertly looking around. A moment later, he saw a tablet tied to the little green branch squeeze in through the open window. Wu Yue then realized that it had come in from here before. It put the tablet on the ground and turned on the screen. The branch held a capacitive stylus and tapped the input method to type on the screen, "Brother Damu is taking care of Mingxu outside the base, waiting for our news."
Wu Yue's vigilance had dropped a little after Little Green Branch's manipulation, but he still asked, "Where are you now?"
[Outside the wall on the side of the villa]
Wu Yue immediately stood up and wanted to look outside, but was afraid of being noticed. Just as he was continuing to ask something normal, the little green branch wrote again, [Ning is here].
After Ning Yuan and Li Zhuang arrived, they immediately went to the side of the villa. The gate was too far away from the villa, and it was too troublesome to go directly in and out of the villa. After walking around, they finally found Lu Weiyi, but he said he was "talking" to Wu Yue.
[I'll go up later] After Lu Weiyi finished writing again, he planned to take it back and discuss with them how to get in.
Then Wu Yue said anxiously, "Wait a minute." Xiao Luzhi, who picked up the tablet and was about to leave, paused and looked at Wu Yue, "There are six people with special abilities in this villa, and their abilities are all very strong. Don't come in. Leave your address and I will come to find you later."
Lu Weiyi turned around and told Ning Yuan and Li Zhuangyi about the situation. After they agreed, they left their room number and withdrew.
Wu Yue lay on the bed for a while, then stood up and left the room. When the three people downstairs saw him coming down, they all looked over at once.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" The man sitting on the sofa was the strongest of the three. His muscles were as strong as a bodybuilder, but compared to the deliberately trained outline, his muscles looked more natural and more ferocious and powerful. This was none other than Li Ji, who had crippled Zhuang Mingxu's legs with a single blow.
"I woke you up," Wu Yue said, taking a can of beer from the freezer and taking a sip, "Why aren't you guys asleep yet?"
"It's still early and I can't sleep, so Brother Li, show us some tasks issued by the military," a man next to Li Ji said, "Brother Wu, I heard that you have been leading a team out to look for supplies. Can you take us with you tomorrow? We just arrived and are not familiar with this area."
