Chapter 109 Return
Lu Weiyi had originally wanted to save some snow water, so he used his mental power to store all the snow on the road in front of the car into the space. He took a water cup and placed it on the passenger seat, and took the bead core from the space and put it together.
With his mental power to lead the way, he could walk more easily than the other two. He also knew that the two people's bodies would only become more and more uncomfortable. This was why Lu Weiyi was anxious to find them within three hours. If it took any longer, the two of them would probably become a burden.
The external loudspeaker kept calling out Lin Yimu's name. Lu Weiyi had already tried to reduce the speed to the lowest possible level. After driving along two roads, there was still no news of the two people. He looked at the time and saw that there was less than an hour left before three hours. Lu Weiyi decided to try his luck on another road that was a little further away.
The heavy snow was whistling in the wind. Although he had a loudspeaker in his hand, Lu Weiyi was still not sure if they could hear it. Just as he was hesitating, he decided to walk down the street and go back to the base if he couldn't find them.
A gunshot rang out not far behind him. The heavy snow blocked his view. Lu Weiyi could only confirm that the sound came from behind the road he walked, but he could not determine the exact location.
He slammed on the brakes, turned around, and drove back along the same route.
Less than a hundred meters away, two people huddled together in quilts appeared on the road and walked towards the car with difficulty in the wind and snow.
"Hiss, Wei Yi" Ning Yuan opened the back door and sat directly in. He shook the snow off the quilt and put it at his feet. The hot wind made him tremble all over and he was shaking even when he spoke, "It's so cold."
Lu Weiyi turned off the speaker and looked at the two men. He saw no injuries, so he put the blankets under their feet into the space, and took out two sets of thick camouflage clothes with boots for them to change into. Then he took out two servings of hot and sour noodles that he had packed at the snack street before the end of the world and gave them to the two men.
Ning Yuan brought it over and took a sip of the soup first. The spicy and hot soup flowed into his stomach, bringing up a burst of heat, and his whole body felt warmer. In just a few minutes, the whole bowl of hot and sour noodles was finished. Both of them sweated a little and felt warmed up.
"Still eating?" Lu Weiyi looked at the two of them in the rearview mirror.
"Let's go back and eat first. We have to hurry back in this horrible weather," Ning Yuan said, and asked Lu Weiyi, "Where are Li Zhuang and Antonio? Why are you alone?"
"They went to look for you a few streets over. We've agreed to meet there, so just go over there now," Lu Weiyi said, and then asked, "Why are you here?" This street obviously turned away from the street they started from yesterday. If Lu Weiyi didn't have free time, he wouldn't have come here.
"Let's go after that bastard Li Ji."
"Is he dead?" Lu Weiyi asked.
“…maybe not,” Lin Yimu said, “When I was chasing him yesterday, my vision was blocked and I couldn’t see anyone, so I could only snipe blindly.”
"But both of my bullets hit his legs, and at least one of them must have hit his knee." Ning Yuan had always wanted to break Li Ji's legs himself, and now he was half successful.
"Then we'll find a chance to kill him later," Lu Weiyi said.
"Yeah, later on, the wind and sand were so strong that we couldn't see the road. We had been planning to go back to find you, but the visibility was too low, so we could only find a place nearby to stay for the night. Luckily, there was a hotel there, and we had all the quilts and other things, otherwise we would have frozen to death before dawn." After Ning Yuan finished talking about his own situation, he asked Lu Weiyi and the others about what happened afterwards.
Lu Weiyi spoke briefly and returned to the meeting place. Antonio and Li Zhuang were already waiting there. The two got into a car and parked in an inconspicuous corner. Li Ji, who was in the driver's seat, saw them coming and honked the horn, but did not move.
It was not until the three of them got out of the car that they saw that the two people in the car were in a bad condition. Li Zhuang's face was pale and cold sweat was pouring out. He was leaning over the steering wheel. When he saw the car door was opened, he just glanced at it without moving at all. Antonio, who was tall and strong, huddled up in a ball, holding the door handle with one hand, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, and his lips were bleeding from being bitten by him. He didn't react when someone opened the door.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Yimu stepped forward and asked. Li Zhuang opened his mouth but didn't say a word.
"This heavy snow may have some effect on people with special abilities. Are you okay?" Lu Weiyi said, looking at Ning Yuan.
"Is it... a little pain in the body?" Ning Yuan didn't feel it obviously and thought it was caused by excessive exercise. He didn't expect it to be like this.
Lu Weiyi nodded and asked them to move Li Zhuang to the back seat. Antonio, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was not very mobile, so he did not move. Lu Weiyi got into the driving seat and said to the three people, "You'd better hold on. If you can't, you might die. When you can't bear it, use your superpowers to travel through your body and share some of the burden. Tell me when you've used up your superpowers."
This was a method that scientists finally developed in the previous life. Although it was of no use at that time, it was naturally not made public. Lu Weiyi only knew about it when Zhuang Mingxu mentioned it inadvertently. This heavy snow claimed the lives of many people with special abilities, but those who managed to survive became prominent figures in the later period.
Hearing his words, Li Zhuang and Antonio simultaneously used their special powers and their complexion indeed looked much better. Ning Yuan looked at their conditions and didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt more pain in his body anyway.
As Lu Weiyi spoke, he opened the cup that had contained the bead core and took a look. The full cup of snow now had only a bottom left, which had turned into water. The originally white core bead had become crystal clear like a drop of water, without any impurities at all. Just looking at this appearance, it was hard to imagine that this thing was taken out of a zombie's head.
Lu Weiyi took out another cup of snow from the space and placed it on the platform. He drove with one hand and placed the transparent core bead in the palm of his hand with the other hand, slowly covering it with supernatural power.
He wanted to rely on this bead core to directly sprint to the next level, so he tried his best to absorb it suddenly. The silent energy surged into his body along with his supernatural powers, constantly impacting Lu Weiyi's supernatural powers which had already reached the peak. After more than ten minutes, the bead core in his palm disappeared, and after a silent "bang" in his body, Lu Weiyi felt that his mental power covering the road in front of the car instantly expanded by twice.
He advanced.
In his previous life, Lu Weiyi awakened his superpowers after a heavy snowfall, and it was more than a month after the snowfall that he was upgraded to Class B. That was also when Zhuang Mingxu gave him countless crystal cores for upgrades. However, his coverage area after the upgrade was definitely not as large as it is now. Such a large coverage area is equivalent to the coverage range of his early Class A period.
No wonder those who survived are all powerful people. Their initial abilities are equal to those of others at the late stage. It would be strange if they were not powerful.
Now that all the people were present, there was no need for them to go back to the base, so the five of them went straight to the others outside the base. It took more than an hour to walk here. This time we didn't start from the base, so the distance was a little far. Plus with the weather, I estimate it will take at least three hours, and it should be noon when we get there.
Lu Weiyi drove his car and kept collecting snow on the road. Wherever he passed, a layer of snow fell off, revealing the original road surface. If no one went out in this weather, Lu Weiyi would really be worried about being discovered.
Less than an hour after they started walking, Antonio's weak voice came from the passenger seat, "Lu..."
With his mental power to see the road, Lu Weiyi was not worried about overturning the car. He turned his head to look at him, and saw Antonio with his mouth open. Lu Weiyi judged from his lip shape that he should be saying Dean's name. His eyes were unfocused, and it seemed that his supernatural power had been exhausted and the pain began to attack again.
Lu Weiyi poured out two transparent bead cores from the cup, hesitated and stuffed them into Antonio's hand, "Cover it with supernatural powers, and consume it intermittently, just this one."
According to scientists, although the abilities of the later-generation mutants are no different from those of the initial mutants in terms of manifestation, the energy in their bodies is different. The initial mutants were caused by the mutation of zombie energy, while the later ones were formed by the neutralization of the zombie energy and the energy generated by heavy snow, a kind of energy that is more suitable for humans.
Therefore, when experiencing the energy explosion of heavy snow, the initial psychic will feel uncomfortable because of the process of rejection and adaptation produced by the body.
At this time, their bodies are changing into the later stage of mutation energy. A neutralized energy bead core can replenish their completed mutation energy, but excessive amount will affect the evolution of their own bodies, and it is unknown what impact it will have in the future.
Lu Weiyi himself had heard such theories from idle scientists in his previous life. There was no practical support and he dared not make any guarantees. He could only let them explore carefully.
Lu Weiyi turned his head to look at Li Zhuang in the back seat and stuffed another pill into his hand, "You should also consume it intermittently, don't absorb it all at once."
Li Zhuang blinked, indicating that he understood.
Ning Yuan also felt it at this time. He looked at Lu Weiyi hopefully, and heard Lu Weiyi say to him, "Your ability level is too low. It will be bad if you use it. If you really can't bear it, I will give you more."
Ning Yuan was a little disappointed, but he also knew it was the truth. He regretted not having trained his supernatural powers well.
Antonio and Li Zhuang really followed Lu Weiyi's words strictly. A bead core had been waiting for them until they returned to where the others lived. There was still a bean-sized amount left in their palms. Although the two looked embarrassed, their eyes were clear and they did not show any sign of losing consciousness.
It seemed as if no one had ever been out of the yard. There was heavy snow outside and no trace of anyone walking on it. Lu Weiyi parked the car in front of the door and pushed it. It was closed from the inside, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll go in and open the door." Lin Yimu knew that he was not good at climbing over walls, so he took the initiative to get off the road.
Lu Weiyi nodded and sat back in the driver's seat. In just a moment, he felt as if a knife had scraped his face, causing a sharp pain.
After Lin Yimu opened the gate from the inside, Lu Weiyi entered the yard and saw the car he had left behind parked in the yard. He felt more at ease knowing that they were still there, but...
