Chapter 164 The Flood is Coming
When one is well fed and warmed, he will think about sex.
Antonio was the first person to ask Lu Weiyi if he had any family planning products.
"What do you want?" Lu Weiyi, who was watching the rain under the floor-to-ceiling window, saw his calm and generous appearance and thought he had misheard.
"Contraceptive T, lubricant?" Antonio rubbed the back of his head and looked at the group of people sorting out the shelves in the living room. "You call it this in your country, right?"
"Yes, the pronunciation is very standard." Xu Sa gave a thumbs up with his dirty hands.
A few young adults shyly pretended to be nonchalant, the old hands laughed knowingly, and the other party, Dean, not only did not feel embarrassed, but leaned over with a look of anticipation.
The gap between Chinese and Western culture was instantly revealed.
"...Is there any?" Lu Weiyi asked Zhuang Mingxu who was sorting medicines with Gu Qingyue.
"Living area, second row, fourth shelf." Zhuang Mingxu always becomes an indispensable person in life without anyone noticing, and he answered without any hesitation at this moment.
"Hey, Lu Xiaoyi, take out more and put them in the corridor. Whoever needs it can take it. I always ask you for it..." Xu Sa saw that Xiong Jie was eager to make a move, and considering Xi Shi whose face was red, he didn't say a word and took the initiative to help.
Thinking about that scene, Lu Weiyi swiftly threw the entire shelf in front of several people.
"Tsk tsk tsk, are you so innocent?" Xu Sa was incredulous. He remembered that Lu Weiyi left with Zhuang Mingxu when he was sixteen. With seven or eight years, he should be an experienced person.
Most Chinese people are introverted. There was no way Lu Weiyi could talk about these things so openly with others, especially when there were minors around. He glanced at Xu Sa expressionlessly, then turned his gaze to the window and said nonchalantly, "Look back at the children next to you, and then shut up."
Amidst a burst of laughter, everyone continued with what they were doing.
When Lu Weiyi came out of the shower in the evening, Zhuang Mingxu was already in bed. Instead of frowning and writing something down as usual, he was flipping through a notebook.
Just like the nights of many years, he was like this, holding a bedtime reading in his hand, waiting for someone to come out of the shower, putting down the book with a helpless look on his face, and picking up the hair dryer, saying lovingly, "I'm not going to blow dry my hair again."
After a few years of living in the apocalyptic world, those ordinary days that we thought we had forgotten can be awakened again by a familiar scene.
Zhuang Mingxu picked up the towel beside the bed and waved at him. Luo Yunqi walked forward and sat with his back to him.
The two people were too familiar with each other, no one spoke, and their tacit understanding was natural.
When his hair was half dry, Luo Yun got up, took off his bathrobe and changed his clothes - in those troubled days, everyone slept in their clothes even at night.
A hand grabbed his arm and Lu Weiyi turned around to look.
Zhuang Mingxu seemed to hesitate for a moment, then he pulled hard, and the quilt was opened, revealing his naked body.
The two of them were naked against each other. Without waiting for Lu Weiyi to ask, Zhuang Mingxu held the person on his body with both arms as if he was holding a child, and then a lot of kisses followed.
**
For three consecutive days, the entire villa was filled with an indescribable sticky atmosphere.
The heavy rain continued. Wu Yue, who had already put on his long underwear, was a little worried. "How long will this rain stop?"
Antonio looked refreshed and took out a few bags of peanuts, melon seeds and vacuum-packed spicy duck from the warehouse and threw them to the people doing nothing on the sofa. Then he turned around, opened the potato chips in his hand and handed it to Dean, then put his arm around his waist possessively and said, "Who knows?"
"Fortunately, we collected supplies day and night before, otherwise we might be starving like everyone else now." Xu Sa nibbled melon seeds and instructed Liu Rui to find a few decks of cards to pass the time.
"If you have nothing to do, upgrade your abilities." Feeling that he was about to be drained dry, Lu Weiyi, who had escaped, curled up in a ball and felt sleepy. He asked with energy, "Is it time for Wu Yue and Bai Miao to upgrade?"
Wu Yue and Bai Miao nodded at the same time.
It was said some time ago that Gu Qingji and Li Dongsheng's abilities were sufficient for upgrading. Now with the addition of these two, four people are upgrading. Lu Weiyi took out two thousand crystal cores from the space and gave five hundred to each of them. "Just upgrade in the living room, and make room for the others."
"And... mine?" Li Dongsheng held the crystal core in his hand, and the honest man didn't know what to say for a moment.
"You are also a member of the team, why yours is missing?" Wu Yue pushed Li Dongsheng's shoulder and said, "Let's upgrade together."
"Thank you, Master Lu." Li Dongsheng held the five hundred crystal cores in his hand, his heart filled with excitement. Becoming stronger is every man's dream, but if he relies on himself, it is unclear how long the five hundred crystal cores will last. "In the future, I will definitely work hard for the team... until my death."
Everyone in the living room was stunned for a moment. Wu Yue held his forehead and said helplessly, "You'd better stop talking and get to work."
Amidst a burst of laughter, the four people each found a corner where they would not be disturbed and began to absorb the crystal core.
The others did not leave either. They all moved to the door, quietly eating snacks and keeping an eye on a few people. Lu Weiyi was closest to them, and from time to time he would pay attention to the speed at which the four people absorbed the crystal cores.
The first one to complete the upgrade was Li Dongsheng. His ability should have been upgraded long ago, but after laying a solid foundation and giving it a little stimulation, it was completed after consuming only about 300 crystal cores.
Next came Wu Yue and Bai Miao. Gu Qingji, who absorbed the most crystal cores the fastest, was the last one.
"I feel like the abnormal spring ivy has also been upgraded." After the upgrade, Gu Qingji touched the green plant on his wrist.
"It is originally B-level, but your level was not high enough to tame it at that time, so I seriously injured it. Now that you have upgraded it, it has also recovered." After Lu Weiyi finished speaking, he explained to him with great distress, "You spent more than 800 crystal cores."
Seeing his painful expression, Gu Qingji said good-temperedly, "Earn it back later." In a few months, he was no longer the child who used to be angry with his brother. After going through life and death, his thin shoulders gradually straightened up and he became a responsible man.
"We now have nine B-level psychics in our team. Even if we really rob other people's supplies in the future, I guess no one will dare to say anything," Wu Yue said excitedly.
"Then let's wait until the weather clears up and take action. Have you chosen a location?" Antonio asked excitedly.
"Got it." Zhuang Mingxu, the head of logistics, has taken care of everything clearly.
"Let's celebrate, let's celebrate." Xu Sa took out a dozen beers from the warehouse and shouted happily.
“Come, come, come…”
**
A banquet had just been prepared, and before the crowd could sit down at the table, there was a slight tremor from the ground, subtle but not to be ignored.
"Is it..." Xu Sa looked at others in panic.
"There's an earthquake!" Wu Yue shouted, "Run out first." After that, he and Ning Yuan rushed towards Zhuang Mingxu immediately. One of them carried Zhuang Mingxu and the other hugged Zhuang Aiyi.
All of them had experienced an earthquake, and more than a dozen people ran outside immediately. Only Lu Weiyi stood where he was. The familiar tremor made him stunned for a moment.
"Lu Weiyi!" Xu Sa, who had already run out, saw Lu Weiyi standing in a daze at the bedroom door through the window and shouted, "Run out."
"Xiaoyi, hurry——" Zhuang Mingxu, who had been carried out by Wu Yue, looked back at him and shouted.
"Fuck!" Lu Weiyi, who had never uttered a swear word in his two lifetimes, was really speechless at this moment.
He had experienced this kind of tremor in his previous life, in the same place. The difference was that in his memory, it happened in early spring after the New Year, but now it happened several months earlier.
This is not an earthquake, but a flood...
The apocalyptic earthquake changed the earth's crust, causing Qingyuan City to be located in a low-lying area. The location of the Qingyuan City base happened to be at the very downstream. Recent days of heavy rain caused floods in the upstream to break out, and from top to bottom, several bases in the middle were not spared.
In their previous life, it was this flood that marked the beginning of their leaving their homeland.
The sudden flood caught them off guard and destroyed all the supplies and forces that Zhuang Mingxu had accumulated in Qingyuan City. With no other choice, he had to go to Kyoto.
Lu Weiyi had planned everything for his whole life. If the weather turned bad in spring, they would leave immediately. However, they did not expect that they would leave so early.
Unable to escape, it was another helpless escape...
Lu Weiyi's thoughts kept coming to his mind, and at the same time he mobilized his special abilities and used his mental power to quickly store all of his belongings in the villa, including the supplies in the basement, into the space. While running outside, he threw out a truck and shouted, "Get in."
Several people standing in the yard in the rain quickly climbed onto the truck. Lu Weiyi sat in the driver's seat and drove out the door.
Li Zhuang, relying on his skill and courage, directly pulled the car body from the car compartment, flipped over to the passenger seat, closed the door, and asked, "What's going on?"
"It seems to be a flood," Lu Weiyi said, and he was a little panicked. He looked around and said, "We need to go to a higher place. Where should we go?"
He was driving, not knowing where to go.
"Return to the villa" Li Zhuang made a prompt decision.
Lu Weiyi turned his head to look at him.
"If it's a flood, we can't leave now. Longmen Villa is the best quality villa in the entire base. If it can't withstand the flood here, other places will be even less likely to do so," Li Zhuang quickly explained. "The third floor of the villa is six meters high. If that doesn't work, we can climb onto the roof. The flood will never exceed ten meters, right?"
Li Zhuang's calm and composed appearance helped Lu Weiyi calm down. He quickly turned the car around and returned to the villa. Because of his impulsiveness, the door of the villa was directly pushed open, and it was extremely smooth to get in.
As soon as the car stopped, Li Zhuang jumped down first. Without him saying anything, the dozen or so people in the car had already seen the collapsed wall of the base and the flood that was coming all over the sky.
"Get to the roof!" Wu Yue shouted, but the heavy rain drowned out his voice and did not slow down the group. It was too late to run up the stairs, so Li Zhuang directly lifted the ground where the group was standing and reached the roof in an instant.
"Go over quickly, I can't hold on any longer," Li Zhuang shouted.
Just as a dozen people stood on the roof, the flood had already raged. The sudden impact caused the wall of the villa to make a "bang" sound, and the flood was blocked. The waves rose to a height of one person and hit the roof directly.
