Chapter 122: Team Crossing the Border
"That won't work. They are the only team that have been informed and recorded. We will be responsible if we let in too much," said the guard. "Do you have a message? If not, please move aside and don't block the road."
"...... wait" Ji Jin gritted his teeth and turned to look at Ji Heng.
Ji Heng had never been disdained by a security guard in his life, and his expression was very unhappy at this moment. He looked at the group of people and said, "I am Lu Weiyi's father. When you go inside, tell him that I am waiting for him here and ask him to come out to pick me up."
A group of people looked at each other, finally nodded, and walked into the community without saying anything.
…
In the villa, Lu Xi and Dean were preparing to go to the trading hall. Zhuang Mingxu thought again and again whether to go out himself or let Lu Xi take the jade pendant space containing supplies. Finally, he decided to go there himself. After all, an ownerless space would inevitably attract attention.
It was impossible for Zhuang Mingxu to push the wheelchair to the store, so Bai Miao specially rented a patrol car from the base and came back with the hired psychic following behind him.
Bai Miao handed the car to Dean, greeted the group of people who came with him, and prepared to take them to a shed specially built for growing plants.
"Excuse me, is there someone named Lu Weiyi here?" a man asked.
"What do you want?" Bai Miao looked at him.
"It's not me. There were two men at the door looking for him. One of them said he was his father and asked him to go out and pick him up," the man said quickly.
Bai Miao looked at Zhuang Mingxu. Zhuang Mingxu knew without thinking what Ji Heng was here for. He nodded to show that he understood, and he called on everyone else to leave with him.
"I... will help you." The dwarf Dean stood solemnly between the patrol car and Zhuang Mingxu, speaking and gesturing.
“No need.” Zhuang Mingxu pushed the wheelchair closer to the patrol car. He grabbed the handrails with both hands and pushed hard. His arm muscles tensed up and as he exerted force, his weak legs got on the patrol car and he sat on it slowly. Maybe his legs were straining, his face turned a little pale.
Lu Xi, who arrived a step too late and was unable to help, was speechless for a moment and sat in the driver's seat.
**
The road in the community had been repaired, so the patrol car drove on it smoothly. After a while, the three people arrived at the entrance of the community.
Just when Ji Heng and Ji Jin were getting impatient, they saw Zhuang Mingxu coming out in a car. They both thought that he was driving to pick them up, so they raised their heads slightly and waited motionlessly.
Who knew that Zhuang Mingxu didn't even look at them. Lu Xi didn't know them, let alone approach them. The car drove out directly after leaving the community.
"Hey, Zhuang Mingxu!" Ji Jin shouted.
Zhuang Mingxu sneered when he heard this. In the past, he always bowed and scraped to call him Mr. Zhuang, but now he dared to call out his name directly when begging for food.
"Brother Mingxu?" Lu Xi turned to look at Zhuang Mingxu.
"Wait a minute." Zhuang Mingxu felt that it was necessary to get rid of them directly, but he didn't know what Lu Weiyi was thinking. After all, as far as he knew, Ji Zhong was very good to Lu Weiyi.
"Mingxu, where is my Weiyi? Why doesn't he come out?" Ji Heng also felt that there was no need to call Mr. Zhuang anymore, after all, it was the end of the world now.
"Xiaoyi went to look for supplies. All our supplies have been stolen and we are almost unable to make ends meet. Xiaoyi told me this morning to go to Mr. Ji to get some supplies for emergency. It's a good opportunity to meet him. We are father and son, so Mr. Ji will surely not bear to see us starve to death, right? How about we go to your house now?" Zhuang Mingxu didn't wait for Ji Heng to state his request and directly outmaneuvered him.
"I..." Ji Heng was unable to utter a word. After all, what he said was the truth. Everyone in the base knew that all the supplies of the only team had been stolen.
"Everyone knows that you opened a trading house, and you exchanged so many things from the Li family. How could you not have supplies?" Ji Jin was not fooled by him, "We are the ones who don't have supplies, right? Lu Weiyi is guarding the supplies by himself and watching dad and grandpa starve?"
"How can you be so shameless? You are the son of a mistress and you have no sense of shame. Not only do you occupy other people's things, but you also have the nerve to ask others for things with a clear conscience." Lu Xi listened to the conversation between the two and figured out who the other party was. He got angry and shouted to the people around him, "Everyone, come and see, look at this shameless father and son. They killed their original wife and forced their son to take supplies with their illegitimate son..."
All the high-level officials of the base lived in Longmen Community. For those who did not go out to look for supplies, now was the time to start working. When they heard this, they all looked curiously instead of gossiping openly. However, the guards and passers-by were not so particular. Life was boring nowadays, and if there was a gossip, they could not wait to watch the fun. More than a dozen people gathered around and asked what was going on.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who the hell are you?" Ji Heng was a man of dignity, and when he was scolded like that, his face turned red and he shouted.
"My father is Lu Xiao," Lu Xi said, "Don't think that now that the world has ended, all your shameless deeds are over."
After Lu Xi finished speaking, he said to the people around him, "Do you recognize this person? If you don't, let me introduce him to you. This is Ji Heng, the president of Ji Group. He is a country boy who got rich thanks to his wife. He annexed his father-in-law's property, killed his first wife, and abused his son. Now he has kept a lot of supplies for himself, but he brought his illegitimate son to force his first wife's son to give him supplies."
"Everyone in the base knows that the supplies of our only team have been stolen. Now we can't even afford to eat. Our team members go out to look for supplies at five o'clock. He is guarding a large amount of supplies and doesn't want to send some to his son. He even brings his illegitimate son here to force others to take the supplies..."
"You..." Ji Jin hated being called an illegitimate child the most for half his life, especially being pointed at in front of so many people. He was so angry that his fingers were shaking as he pointed at Lu Xi, "Just wait for me."
After saying those harsh words, he didn't care about Ji Heng and ran away covering his face. Ji Heng was so angry that he didn't care about asking for supplies and left immediately after him.
Watching the two people walk away dejectedly, Lu Xi said angrily, "What kind of things are you? If you were in Kyoto, I would have someone break your legs."
Zhuang Mingxu covered his head, feeling somewhat helpless. As there was nothing more fun to watch, the people around him dispersed. Lu Xi drove on the road again. After hesitating for a long time, Zhuang Mingxu finally said, "Xiao Xi, don't say this in front of your brother in the future."
"...Brother Mingxu, did I do something wrong?" Lu Xi also reacted at this time. It seemed not good to publicize private matters in front of so many people.
"No, but Xiaoyi..." Zhuang Mingxu paused and said, "I value feelings."
**
All the pharmacies close to the base were emptied except for some that had collapsed.
Lu Weiyi had originally planned to let the earth-type mutants train their abilities to move the collapsed objects, but the zombies kept approaching, and with just over a dozen of them, there was no way they could protect the others and clean up the things. In the end, adhering to the principle of not wasting, Lu Weiyi directly controlled the little green branch to explore the ruins and put the things directly into the space.
"Lu Xiaoyi, you are God's biological son, right?" Xu Sa felt that Lu Weiyi was simply cheating. This one move meant that half of the things in the ruins of the city were contracted by him.
"Agree." Antonio swung the dagger hard at a water zombie's head, cutting his head in half.
“+1” Li Zhuang also said.
“+1” said Gu Qingyue.
“+1”Gu Qingji.
"I feel like we are a bit useless," Ning Yuan said.
"You can kill zombies." Lu Weiyi said this seriously while swinging out a small green branch that quickly and accurately passed through the four zombies in front of him, and then the zombies that rushed up immediately fell to the ground.
"Is he mocking us?" Ning Yuan was incredulous.
"It's possible," Wu Yue said with a smile.
Lu Weiyi looked at the tobacco and alcohol store next to the collapsed pharmacy and asked, "Do you want some cigarettes or alcohol?"
"Yes!" Li Zhuang.
"Yes!" Ning Yuan.
"Yes!" Xiong Jie.
The three of them said this in unison and smiled at each other.
"Take whatever you have. We don't need to put them back in the trading hall. Who knows who might want them. Exchange them for some crystal cores," said Lin Yimu.
"Oh," Lu Weiyi responded. After collecting the things from the tobacco and alcohol store, he moved to the convenience store next to him again, and then walked along a street, collecting all kinds of things from clothing stores, hardware stores, small appliances, and printing shops. The others protected him in the innermost part to deal with the zombies that pounced on him, and he also assigned people to dig out crystal cores.
The original plan was to go to the pharmacy first, but as they walked along the way, they found that the entire street was basically completely taken away. The group drove to the next pharmacy, and they even deliberately chose a collapsed place, so that the supplies would not be taken away, and they could also get a lot of useful things from other surrounding shops.
"I think we've become street sweepers." Xu Sa has no special powers, so he can only deal with the zombies nearby with a knife. Among the zombies with special powers, he really has no advantage.
Some of his clothes were burned by the fireball, some were wet by the waterball, and some were even scratched by earth thorns, with dirt in the bloodstains. He was panting but still talking with a smile.
The situation of the others might not be much better. After all, they are all mortal bodies and it is inevitable that they will get injured. Except for Lu Weiyi who remains spotless, the others all have more or less traces of injuries caused by supernatural powers.
"Who cares what I'm sweeping for, as long as I can get something in return." Xiong Jie's special ability had just awakened, and it was almost exhausted at this time, so he could only rely on his strength.
"A car brought a lot of zombies, let's retreat," Li Zhuang took the time to take a telescope and glance at the distance, then said to others.
"Get in the car." The group got in the car quickly and drove out first before the other car got close.
After nearly three hours of consuming superpowers, the superpowers of the few people who had just awakened were basically exhausted. Lu Weiyi asked everyone to hand over the crystal cores, and quietly manipulated the space to soak the crystal cores in the snow water collected before. When he took them out a moment later, the crystal cores had become crystal clear, and the gray and black magazines inside had disappeared.
When they reached a planned street again, Lu Weiyi asked, "Whose superpower is about to disappear?"
"I" Ning Yuan said.
Xiong Jie and a few people who had awakened after the heavy snow raised their hands.
Lu Weiyi took each person's crystal core according to their special abilities and gave each person two. "Count it in your income for today. When you run out of special abilities and have a headache, you can absorb more."
