Chapter 158 Ning Yuan Upgrade
"Have you upgraded?" Li Zhuang asked.
Ning Yuan smiled and said, "It seems like." Among the five people with special abilities who awakened before the heavy snow, he was the only one who could not upgrade. Although Ning Yuan did not say anything, he was very anxious in his heart.
At this moment, he finally experienced the feeling after they upgraded. He stretched out his hand and directed the surging energy in his body towards the ice cone he controlled. The ice cone seemed to come alive under his command, and it shuttled flexibly among the zombies. Even if he encountered the same water zombie blocking him, he would be able to detect it in the first time and use his powerful supernatural powers to crush the opponent.
The falling water droplets were now controlled by Ning Yuan to condense into a circle of water curtain, surrounding everyone in the car. Through the water curtain, they could see the icicles and icicles that had been flying towards them before, now all flying towards the zombies around them.
"It's a relief," Xiong Jie said happily after wiping the blood from the wound on his forehead.
"That's amazing!" said Xu Sa.
"Brother Yuan, you are awesome!"
…
There were no more zombie reinforcements in front, and the zombies around kept falling down, and the situation was clearly becoming one-sided.
"Are you looking for death?" Just when everyone was teasing Ning Yuan, they didn't notice that the truck had stopped at some point. Lu Weiyi walked over from under the car holding an umbrella and shouted towards the car.
No one knew who he was talking about. Everyone looked at each other and were about to ask when they saw the smile on Ning Yuan's face instantly turn into astonishment and he fell straight down.
A circle of water curtain lost its support from supernatural power and suddenly poured down, soaking everyone. No one paid attention to this matter at this time, and they all gathered around Ning Yuan and called him.
When Lu Weiyi sensed a powerful energy emanating from the trunk, he thought that someone was about to upgrade. Considering that only Ning Yuan asked him for crystal core replenishment, he quickly dealt with the zombies approaching in front, asked Lin Yimu to stop the car, and planned to go to the trunk to help.
Just after he finished dealing with the zombies, an energy that was no less than the upgraded energy instantly dissipated. He cursed him as an idiot in his heart and sped up, but even so he still couldn't catch up.
"What's wrong with him?" Wu Yue asked Lu Weiyi.
"You've failed at pretending to be cool." Lu Weiyi controlled the little green branch to deal with the last few zombies and asked it to dig for crystal cores. He climbed onto the truck and took out several bags of crystal cores with great distress and placed them all on Ning Yuan.
As if there was an invisible suction force, the crystal core in his body turned into powder in an instant, and Lu Weiyi began to replenish it continuously.
"What's going on?" Li Zhuang asked.
"When you upgrade, you use crystal cores to continuously impact and upgrade. After the upgrade, a large amount of energy is stored in the body, but he has overdrawn energy when upgrading. The energy storage is not enough, and he releases all the absorbed energy. He overdraws all at once, and his body can't bear it." Fortunately, Lu Weiyi now has a purified crystal core, otherwise he can only rely on self-recovery, which will take a long time and will affect future upgrades. However, this time it will consume a large amount of crystal cores.
Lu Weiyi helped Ning Yuan absorb the crystal cores all the way in the car. When the car returned to the base villa, Ning Yuan showed no signs of waking up. Instead, his speed of absorbing the crystal cores slowed down, even though he had already absorbed more than 500 crystal cores.
Zhuang Mingxu had planned to talk to Lu Weiyi about the Ji family's affairs, but when this incident happened, he ignored it.
**
Ning Yuan woke up in the middle of the night. With a large number of crystal cores as his foundation, he looked radiant and did not look like he was experiencing the end of the world.
The next day at dinner, he immediately showed off his special abilities to others.
"You've spent almost twice as much crystal cores as others." Since they started hunting zombies, the daily crystal core income has increased, but Lu Weiyi listened to Zhuang Mingxu and still distributed the same number of crystal cores to them every day. However, he did not have to repay the crystal cores they needed for upgrades.
Seeing Ning Yuan showing off at this time, he felt distressed and said something to him.
"In the future, I will work like a slave to earn more crystal cores as tribute." Ning Yuan knew that his rash pretense almost affected his foundation, so he lowered his posture and bowed to Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi didn't want to argue with him, but since everyone was watching, it would be awkward for him to not say anything. "Who else is going to level up soon?"
"I," said Gu Qingji. He was one of the first people with special abilities to awaken after the heavy snow.
Lu Weiyi nodded and looked at Lu Xi.
"I..." Lu Xi scratched his head and shook it. He didn't feel like he had upgraded.
"The mental system upgrades slower than other systems," Lu Weiyi comforted him.
"......I" Li Dongsheng was a little hesitant. His wood-type ability was not as powerful as Gu Qingji's, and the effect of his ability was not the strongest, so his presence in the team was always low.
Lu Weiyi nodded and looked at Wu Yue.
"It shouldn't be long." Wu Yue felt that his supernatural power seemed to be reaching saturation.
"Have you reached the middle stage of B level?" Lu Weiyi asked the three people who had already upgraded.
The three of them looked at each other, and Antonio, who was the first to upgrade, replied, "It feels a little bit short, how about you?"
“I’m about to level up”
"What--"
"A-level!!!"
Several people in the living room looked at Lu Weiyi in surprise, sizing him up and down with incredible eyes. Even Zhuang Mingxu looked over in surprise. He hadn't talked about superpowers with Lu Weiyi for a long time, so naturally he didn't know that his superpowers were about to be upgraded.
Lu Weiyi nodded. He absorbed more crystal cores than them every day, so it was natural for him to upgrade quickly. "If you guys don't come, I will prepare crystal cores for myself to upgrade."
"How many crystal cores are needed to upgrade to A-level?" According to everyone's statistics, the crystal cores they have stored during this period must be over ten thousand, and Lu Weiyi is like a Pixiu, only taking in and not giving out, and he always cheats others of their supplies and crystal cores.
"I don't know," Lu Weiyi shook his head. When he upgraded in his previous life, Zhuang Mingxu got him a few white bead cores and the crystal cores of two B-level psychic zombies. It didn't cost much, but he heard that some people spent thousands of dollars when upgrading. "It never hurts to prepare more. You will need more and more for future upgrades."
"It seems that we will still have to hunt zombies in large numbers in the future," Wu Yue said.
"Yes, upgrading requires countless crystal cores," Lu Weiyi agreed with this. In his previous life, the higher the teams advanced, the fewer psychics there were. Energy riots were one reason, but also because too many crystal cores were needed, and there were not enough to provide so many people with upgrades.
"Otherwise, how about we spend the night outside like the other teams? The round trip will take at least three hours every day. With this time, we can hunt down a hundred more zombies. If we work overtime at night, we will kill hundreds more zombies." Wu Yue continued after careful consideration, "It has rained from time to time these days, so it's a bit of a waste of time."
The few who had no family members in the base naturally had no objection. In the end, everyone looked at Lu Weiyi. Lu Weiyi didn't care. He looked directly at Zhuang Mingxu, waiting for Zhuang Mingxu to make a decision.
Yun Lu asked about wanting to meet Lu Weiyi, and Zhuang Mingxu naturally knew about it. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay, don't just hunt zombies, it's better to find some supplies. The continuous heavy rain will accelerate the deterioration of some collapsed and piled up materials. The climate is abnormal, it's always better to store more things."
"Is it okay for you to stay at the base?" Lu Weiyi asked Zhuang Mingxu.
"There's nothing wrong with what we do in the base, and no one is idle enough to come and cause trouble for us." Apart from interacting with people from the military, their team never participates in other teams or some tasks issued by the base. They live their own lives behind closed doors, and no one is idle enough to keep an eye on them.
Zhuang Mingxu smiled, thought for a while and said, "Don't be out for too long at a time, three days will be enough. If there are any materials that need to be sorted out when you come back, I can arrange someone to deal with them."
"Then let's start tomorrow? Give Brother Xi a day to make some food to bring back. I really don't want to eat bread and biscuits." Antonio thought of those fast foods and looked unhappy.
"Okay, just tell me what you want to eat and I'll prepare it all today," Xi Shi said good-temperedly.
A few people ordered a random meal, and Lu Weiyi left some supplies for them, and then the group set off.
As they stayed out overnight, it was even less likely that Yun Lu, who was guarding the gate of the villa, would see anyone, which gave Ji Lin the opportunity to contact her.
The two of them are of similar age. One of them has the reputation of being Lu Weiyi's sister, and the other is obsessed with getting close to Lu Weiyi. They hit it off immediately without having to please each other. Within two days, they acted like good sisters. This also led to Yun Lu naturally believing what Ji Lin inadvertently revealed.
Another afternoon, Zhuang Aiyi was stacking Legos in Zhuang Mingxu's temporary office, while Zhuang Mingxu was in the planting field, checking the growth of potatoes and sweet potatoes with Bai Miao and making statistics.
Yun Lu, who had washed half of the clothes, pushed the remaining clothes to her mother Guan Tong, and went back to her room to get the potato chips that Ji Lin gave her but she was reluctant to eat.
"Aiyi?" Yun Lu stood at the door and called Zhuang Aiyi with a smile.
Zhuang Aiyi looked up and said, "Auntie, my great father is not here. You can go to the fields to find him." Lu Weiyi doesn't come here often. Those who come here are looking for Zhuang Mingxu.
Yun Lu had already known what this old dad meant from Ji Lin, and felt disgusted for a moment, but in her opinion, Lu Weiyi was still good to Zhuang Aiyi, just looking at the toys he piled up everywhere, and she didn't care about the existence of a child, "I won't look for him, I saw you playing alone, I will play with you, okay?"
"No need," Zhuang Aiyi said. When he saw her come in, he put down the Lego in his hand, stood up and took a few steps back defensively. "Don't come in. Grandpa doesn't let strangers approach me."
Yun Lu was young and felt a little awkward standing there. She waved the potato chips in her hand for a moment and said, "How about we go outside and eat some potato chips together?" Children generally like these, and Yun Lu felt that Zhuang Aiyi was no exception.
However, she obviously overlooked that the only child in the team, and Lu Weiyi's son who had the most supplies, how could he be without potato chips? There were all kinds of snacks for children to eat, and he could choose whatever he wanted. A bag of potato chips could not attract Zhuang Aiyi at all.
