Chapter 153 Testing the Snow Water
Lu Weiyi took out a bottle of water from the space and handed it to the person opposite, "Do you want to give him some water... Don't they say that drinking water can detoxify?"
He wanted to slap himself for making this excuse, not to mention the foolish looks the people around him gave him.
Obviously the person on the other side doesn’t think so. When people are powerless, they are willing to try and believe in anything.
The man took the water and said, "Thank you."
Li Zhuang and Antonio had a vague idea that Xu Sa was bitten at that time. They glanced at Lu Weiyi silently, thinking that he wanted to save this man. However, after drinking a bottle of water, the man's zombie transformation was not relieved.
After a moment, black blood vessels appeared on his face and he looked hideous.
"Husband--" the woman screamed and was pulled away by others. The moment the man stood up and was about to bite her, she was stabbed in the middle of the eyebrows by the metal-type mutant and died completely.
It took no more than three minutes from the beginning to the end. When Lu Weiyi saw the man lying dead, he felt relieved. He couldn't tell whether he was relieved or what.
From the moment Zhuang Mingxu asked him to give it a try, he knew what Zhuang Mingxu was planning. On the one hand, he hoped that Zhuang Mingxu would also develop superpowers.
On the one hand, I was a little scared. No one knew the specific effect of this thing. It was like a miracle drug. Maybe a hundred people would find it effective, but you might be the only one that didn't. If Zhuang Mingxu was the only one that didn't work...
Lu Weiyi cannot bear the consequences.
He would rather Zhuang Mingxu was still an ordinary person, at least alive.

"A-choo" Yun Lu's sneeze broke the silence, and Lu Weiyi realized that the clothes they were wearing were still soaked.
He stood up from the sofa, and everyone on the opposite side looked over immediately. They saw Lu Weiyi walking into a room slowly, and after a while he came out with a changed set of clothes. At the same time, he threw a set of clothes to several other people, including the two women.
"Thank you." Yun Lu raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Weiyi, her bright eyes unable to hide her admiration.
Guan Tong just held her daughter tightly and looked at Lu Weiyi as if she was examining her son-in-law. In the end, she said nothing and took her daughter into the room to change clothes.
This scene made Li Qing not so happy about getting the crystal core. He wanted to talk to Lu Weiyi. This was not a good idea. Although Zhuang Mingxu was disabled now, he had a healing ability and it would be no problem for him to recover to normal.
Moreover, what Zhuang Mingxu did for him back then was not something that just anyone could do.
But holding the crystal core that Lu Weiyi had given him so generously, Li Qing felt a little short of breath to say this again.
It is true that one who has received favors from others will be grateful. Li Qing took a vicious look at the crystal core in his hand, and finally he was reluctant to return it. So far, only two people in their military department have been upgraded, and the lack of ability is also one of the reasons why they are unstable.
Li Qing sighed, and in the end, he couldn't say anything despite all the words in his mind.
It started hail again outside, with crackling sounds of ice being thrown in from time to time. Seeing this, Li Zhuang sealed up most of the window, leaving a gap with a little light.
After this move, the twenty or so people on the opposite side didn't even dare to glance at him.
"Hi buddy, nice to meet you. My name is Zhang Lei, a metal-type mutant. This group of people are all friends and family. We are going to the Qingyuan City Security Base together. What about you?" The nearest base in this direction is the Qingyuan City base. A dark-skinned man took the initiative to speak. From the sound of his voice, it seems that he is the man who talked to them before. It seems that he should be the leader.
"Davis Antonio, we are from the Qingyuan City base. We have something to do." Antonio rarely saw people with the same attributes as him, so he took the initiative to answer.
"We are all from Qingyuan and have relatives there. We have been struggling for several months and want to go back. Can I ask what the situation is over there?" Zhang Lei asked proactively.
Antonio did not keep anything to himself. Since it was news that everyone knew, there was nothing to hide. He briefly told Zhang Lei about the situation. When they learned that so much food was needed to enter the base, the group of people looked at each other in surprise.
"What if there is no food?" asked a man next to Zhang Lei.
"There is a refugee area at the entrance of the base," said Antonio.
"Shouldn't the army rescue the people? Using taxpayers' money to build a security base, but still charging taxpayers a fee, isn't this leaving ordinary people with no way to survive?" the man shouted.
"If there is no charge, what will all these soldiers eat? Can they stay alive and save people by drinking some wind?" Li Qing knew best how difficult it was for the soldiers after the earthquake. Now he was being ostracized by major forces at the base. He couldn't help but ask, "After the earthquake, several counties and cities around Qingyuan City were rescued by the army. Why didn't anyone give them any supplies? If they die, they sacrifice their lives for the country. If they don't die, they have to continue to serve the people. Did they join the army, or did they sell their lives to you?"
"Then...what should we do?" The man actually started crying. He knew that his idea was wrong, but when a person can't survive, who cares about right or wrong.
"I'm sorry, he just... doesn't see any hope," Zhang Lei said helplessly, "There were 72 of us in the beginning, but only these are left. We don't know if we can reach Qingyuan safely."
Li Qing shook his head. He understood that the other party was just venting his anger on others, and he had accumulated too much anger. He pursed his lips and calmed down. "It's still a day's journey to Qingyuan. This road is far away from the city and there are not many zombies. We might as well go look for supplies instead of complaining. The world has become like this. We can't survive by blaming others."

The rain today was not as heavy as yesterday, and the temperature dropped significantly after the rain. With yesterday's experience, everyone took out their thick clothes in advance. Lu Weiyi also gave a down jacket to Guan Tong and her daughter, which again earned Yun Lu's shy thank you.
In the evening, Yun Lu and Guan Tong, mother and daughter, were still cooking. The other group of people looked at Lu Weiyi with envy as he could take out anything from the space, but no one dared to make any moves.
Guan Tong said that she could cook, just a little better than some of the men. In the evening, she made rice soup, mixed some cucumber salad, and heated up the steamed buns she had prepared during practice, and that was considered a meal.
Each person was served a bowl, and before the men came over to serve the food, Yun Lu served a bowl to Lu Weiyi first, "You... have eaten."
Lu Weiyi was looking at the heavy rain outside the door and thinking about his past life, when he was suddenly interrupted. He glanced at Yun Lu with a calm gaze, and her face turned red instantly.
He placed the bowl of rice soup on the coffee table, turned around and left in a hurry.
Lu Weiyi had servants at home since he was a child, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with things like serving tea and water. As for girls, he had very few contacts with them. Being a typical straight man, he naturally couldn't understand her little thoughts. He just thought that this person was being inexplicably shy.
"Young master, you are so charming." Among the few people, only Li Zhuang would joke with Lu Weiyi unscrupulously.
Lu Weiyi rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.
Li Qing interjected, "Your team is very powerful. The major families in the base held a dance party some time ago. It was actually a blind date party for bonding. At that time, most of them wanted to pick a son-in-law from your team, but in the end no one from your team went."
"There is such a thing? How come I didn't know about it?" Antonio looked at Li Zhuang inquiringly.
Li Zhuang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
"You don't know? The invitation was delivered to Zhuang Mingxu at that time..." Li Qing said, glancing at Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi calmly drank a mouthful of soup and thought about it carefully. It seemed that he had heard of such a thing, but Zhuang Mingxu really didn’t mention it. Naturally, he wouldn’t say he didn’t know, "I refused."
"Why? Don't you think about the single guys in our team?" Antonio asked.
"You are all single guys who rely on me for support. Those with weak superpowers will die as soon as they go out. What qualifications do you have to date? Can you afford to support a partner?" Lu Weiyi said as if it was a matter of course, and glanced at Antonio. "Does Dean know that you want to attend a blind date? Do you want me to tell him?"
"I hate blind dates the most. Isn't it better to eat and drink enough and practice your supernatural powers? Why go on blind dates when you have nothing to do?" Antonio took a big bite of the bun angrily and lowered his head to drink his porridge.
Lu Weiyi turned around to look at Li Qing and smiled very friendly, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. Brother Damu is indeed not young anymore. He has been delayed all these years because you have been taking care of me. Now that I am in good health, it is time to find a partner for him. I will persuade him when I go back."
Li Qing raised his hand in surrender and made a zipper-like motion towards his mouth.
Lu Weiyi easily ended the two battles and continued eating calmly.
"Why don't you say anything about him?" Antonio pointed at Li Zhuang and asked with a look of grief and anger.
"After all... I know myself well," Li Zhuang said with a smile, snatching the last bun from Antonio's hand. When Antonio tried to grab it, he took a big bite out of it.
Having said that, Li Qing suddenly wanted to remind Lu Weiyi that there was another person at the base. He cleared his throat and said, "When you left, you said you would be back in a week. Now that you're a few days late, Zhuang Mingxu must be worried."
"Yeah," Lu Weiyi nodded, and took out a few meat patties from the space and threw them to the two people who were fighting for a bun.
A punch on cotton.
Li Qing took a sip of soup and said with a smile, "I saw your son the other day. He's your son, right? He's so cute. How old is he?"
Yun Lu, who had been secretly eavesdropping on their conversation, suddenly raised her head and stared at them at a loss, with an expression as if she had met a heartless man. Li Qing felt a little embarrassed when he glanced at her, but he did not regret it.
"Of course he's my son." Lu Weiyi could now understand the feelings of his old father. After saying that, he smiled gently and said, "He's three years old and very well behaved."
"Then you..." Li Qing was about to make another effort when Zhang Lei came over and said to Lu Weiyi under everyone's gaze, "Brother, can you exchange some hot soup? I'll exchange two packs of bread for a bowl. The temperature has dropped too much, and my wife is still pregnant..."
