Chapter 141: Killing Each Other
At five o'clock in the morning, the Xiangning City base came into view.
Like the Qingyuan base, this base was built in the suburbs and incorporated several surrounding villages on the outskirts of the city, so its area appeared to be quite large.
The three men arrived at the gate but did not go in directly. The materials they needed to pay were not beyond their reach, but there was no need to pay.
Lu Weiyi was not good at finding people, so Li Qing directly asked him how many chocolate Snickers bars he had taken and asked the guard about the situation inside.
Su Yan controls the entire police station and is indeed a force that cannot be ignored in the base. It is not difficult to find him.
After a while, Su Yan drove out with a person in the car. When he saw Li Qing, he asked hurriedly, "Why did you come to see me at dawn? What happened?"
He got out of the car in a hurry and looked at Li Qing. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was injured.
"I'm fine. I just want to talk to you about something small." Li Qing said with a smile. He introduced Lu Weiyi and Lu Xi, and emphasized that Lu Xi was Lu Xiao's son. He continued, "Lu Xi came here this time because he wanted to collect some high-quality jade. I want you to help. It will only take a few days. We will pick him up when we come back from collecting supplies."
"Jade?" Su Yan was quite happy when he knew Lu Xi was Lu Xiao's son, but when he heard the tone of collecting jade, he felt something was wrong. He pulled Li Qing away and asked in a low voice, "Don't you know that some jade has space?"
He didn't think that Li Qing would cheat him, he just wondered if the other two people thought he didn't know and were treating him like a fool.
"I know." Li Qing handed a cigarette to Su Yan, "You know that after the instructor retired from the army, he used Zhuang Mingxu's relationship to take care of a young master, right?"
"Instructor Lin? I've heard of him," Su Yan said.
"The beautiful one is Zhuang Mingxu's lover," Li Qing introduced.
Su Yan took a deep breath. After all, the news that Zhuang Mingxu gave up a bright future for his lover was widely spread in the army.
Su Yan turned around and looked at Lu Weiyi carefully, "I don't see what's good about him? He's just good-looking."
"I advise you not to talk nonsense. It's very cruel. Do you know there is a mutant plant on the road ahead?" Li Qing nudged him with his elbow.
"I know. By the way, how did you get here? The roads here are blocked by mutated plants," Su Yan asked.
"He killed a person," Li Qing said exaggeratedly.
Su Yan was surprised and looked at Lu Weiyi again without leaving a trace.
"People like jade, and Zhuang Mingxu collects it from all over the world. This is not the end of the world, and he won't change. Some of them are material exchanges. Anyway, as long as the quality is good, it doesn't matter if there is no space," said Li Qing.
"The base mission is to find something in the next city. I happened to pass by here, so I wanted to collect some at the Xiangning City base. If your people have time, they can also go to those jade shops to look for it and come back to sell it to him. You won't be short of supplies." Li Qing did not tell them their destination. After all, Zhoujia County is in an awkward location, and they can look for salt anywhere.
Su Yan was really tempted by this suggestion. The Jade of the Doomsday was not as practical as instant bread. "Are you sure he has the supplies?"
"Don't worry, if you don't cheat him, he won't let you lose anything," Li Qing replied, and asked, "How about it? Will you help?"
"It's a small matter. I'll ask my subordinates to publicize it," Su Yan said, "but I'm not sure how many people will come to exchange it."
"Okay then, Lu Xi will stay here and take care of this. The child is underage, so please take good care of him and don't let him get bullied," said Li Qing.
"rest assured"
After the two men had reached an agreement, they walked towards Lu Weiyi. Li Qing talked to him, and Lu Weiyi directly took out a hundred unprocessed crystal cores from the space and handed them to Su Yan, and then took out a few kilograms of apples and peaches that he had collected before and handed them to him.
"Lu Xi is here for the past few days. Please take good care of him. I will come to pick him up in a week at most. If he makes any mistake or gets into trouble, I will come back to handle it for him. Of course, if I haven't come for more than half a month, something must have happened. Please ask someone to escort him back to Qingyuan base. Zhuang Mingxu will definitely reward you with supplies."
"Brother, don't talk nonsense," Lu Xi said a little annoyed, "I'm just waiting for you to pick me up."
Lu Weiyi touched his head and made no promises. The end of the world is full of life and death tests.
Crystal cores are now used for upgrades, and they are snatched up fiercely when they appear. He was able to give away a hundred of them without changing his expression, and also took out fruits swiftly. Su Yan finally believed what Li Qing said about there being plenty of supplies, "You're welcome. Don't worry, I'm with me. I will definitely hand them over to you in good condition."
"Thank you." In addition to the things given to Su Yan, Lu Weiyi kept some supplies. "Lu Xi knows the pricing. If it is not enough, please advance the money and I will pay the interest."
After a brief communication, Lu Weiyi and Li Qing drove away. Su Yan led his men to take away the remaining supplies, paid Lu Xi a few days' temporary accommodation fee, and brought him into the base.
Strictly speaking, they did not pass through Xiangning City, but took a detour. If they wanted to catch up with the original team, they had to turn back. At noon, Lu Weiyi found a shady place to park the car and asked, "What do you like to eat?"
Li Qing saw that Lu Weiyi was not joking and immediately laughed, "Is there a choice? I like braised pork, pickled fish, cooked pork, pork skin and blood..."
"Just pretend I didn't ask," Lu Weiyi said expressionlessly, then took out a portion of braised pork and a portion of braised eggplant with beans from the space, and asked Li Qing, "Noodles or rice?"
"What noodles are there?" Li Qing took a deep breath of the braised pork, looking intoxicated.
"Noodles with soybean paste, noodles with gravy, noodles with sauerkraut and mixed noodles"
Every time Lu Weiyi mentioned something, Li Qing's eyes brightened up. In the end, he swallowed his saliva and made a difficult decision, "Fried noodles with soybean paste...Okay."
Lu Weiyi brought him a bowl of noodles with soybean paste and ate a bowl of mixed noodles himself. On such a hot day, the sour and cool mixed noodles were just what he wanted.
Li Qing had a huge appetite. Although he didn't look fat, he finished a big bowl of noodles and didn't leave any leftovers from the two dishes. He even poured the last bit of soup into the bowl and drank it. Finally, he let out a long sigh, "Delicious."
"I haven't had such a good meal in a long time. Is your team still recruiting? You can consider me." After eating and drinking, Li Qing took over the driving.
"We select people based on their looks, and you...almost..." Lu Weiyi knew that anyone could leave the military, except Li Qing. Now everyone was counting on his father Li Mu, and he had a responsibility he had to take.
"I am the most beautiful girl in the military, you have poor taste."
The two men were joking and caught up with the main group at around four o'clock in the afternoon. After meeting up, they continued walking for another day and finally arrived at the Zhoujia County Salt Field near evening the next day.
**
The salt field covers a large area and is far away from the city center. There are also some small supermarkets and employee dormitories around it that rely on the salt field for its existence. This means that if they want to stay here, they must first clear out the zombies here.
"There are no longer a few zombies," Li Qing took a look from a distance with a telescope, "there are more than 20 wandering in the yard alone. There is no sign of collapse in the residential building, so there must be some inside."
Li Zhuang was also looking through the telescope and frowned for a moment, "It seems like someone has been here. There are dried bloodstains on the ground from a fight."
Li Qing read it as he meant and said, "The vehicles that were not left behind must have been defeated and left."
Lu Weiyi had been shaken by the truck for a whole day and was feeling drowsy. When he heard their words, he curiously stood up and looked in the direction they were looking. After a moment, his face became serious and he said, "There's a Class B zombie in there... It's targeting... us."
To be precise, they should be targeting Lu Weiyi.
There was a spiritual zombie inside. When Lu Weiyi stood up and looked over, his spiritual power happened to cover him, and Lu Weiyi noticed it immediately. The two fought silently, and the other side was stronger.
Just by looking at the coverage area, it can be determined that at least Lu Weiyi has not determined his position, and his mental attack has been directed towards Lu Weiyi's head, aiming at Lu Weiyi's crystal core. Fortunately, living people have smart brains, and things like superpowers can be used to great effect as long as they are studied carefully. Lu Weiyi used his mental power to resist it at the first time.
Li Zhuang and his companions also felt the detection of spiritual energy, and they immediately took alert defense. However, Li Qing's men were no match for them. They failed to attack Lu Weiyi, and then a young soldier not far from Li Qing fell down with his eyes wide open and a round hole between his eyebrows.
Lu Weiyi shouted "Back off", but there was a commotion among the people around him, and no one would listen to his order, so no one moved for a while. Then several soldiers waved knives and stabbed their comrades beside them.
"You..." Amid the incredulous gazes of his comrades, he quickly pulled out his knife and attacked other people again, and the team was in complete chaos for a moment.
"Retreat, quickly." Li Qing didn't know what was going on, but still chose to listen to Lu Weiyi and gave the order immediately. Lu Weiyi reacted and quickly used his mental power to free the several soldiers who were controlled, and at the same time used his mental power to slightly protect the people in the three cars.
The group retreated one kilometer before Lu Weiyi asked them to stop. Li Qing went to another car to check the situation and returned with a stern look, "Two dead, three injured. What happened?"
"There is a mental zombie inside, controlling them with its mental power." Lu Weiyi glanced at the soldiers who were surrounding his comrades with envy, and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Psychic zombies" are completely unknown things. Li Qing pounded the car hard, and then heard Lu Weiyi add, "They are higher level than all of us here."
"Higher level than you?" Antonio asked immediately. After all, he felt that Lu Weiyi was the most amazing person he had ever met.
"High" Lu Weiyi replied.
"Then we have to kill him too." Someone in the team had been paying attention to their conversation. A man who had been holding the body of the little soldier whose crystal core had been taken out looked up with tears in his eyes, looking fierce and aggrieved. "Captain, Haozi is only eighteen, he will die with his eyes open."
This sentence made Li Qing's eyes redden, "Zhang Wei, calm down first, let's discuss it."
