Chapter 170: Leaving at an Appointment
"Kyoto is far away from here, especially in this weather. No one can predict what dangers we may encounter on the road. I cannot even guarantee my own safety, and I am not sure if you can survive by following me. I hope you will be responsible for your own safety." Lu Weiyi looked around at the companions he spent every day with.
Finally, he said, "We will leave when Ai Yi feels better. In the meantime, you should all think carefully about this."
"Once you go to Kyoto, are you going to stay there forever?" Li Zhuang chewed a lollipop as if he was holding a cigarette.
"……"no.
Kyoto is too chaotic, with all kinds of forces gathered there. If you don't have the ability or foundation, you will just be a scapegoat in such a place, although Zhuang Mingxu's family has a place there.
But big families are concerned about interests. Now that Zhuang Mingxu has no special abilities, he will be restricted if he goes back. It is very likely that he will also suffer and must stand on one side.
Besides, Kyoto isn't that safe...
Lu Weiyi thought of the times in his previous life when he had no control over himself. He rubbed his fingers and remained silent for a while.
"If you have any ideas or plans, tell us and we can discuss it together. We are all trying to find a way out. After all, it's the same everywhere," said Li Zhuang.
"The forces in Kyoto are complicated and it's not a good place to stay for a long time." When Lu Weiyi said he was going to Kyoto, Zhuang Mingxu had already thought about the situation he would face. He thought Lu Weiyi hadn't thought about it.
But in the moment of his silence, he knew that the boy knew everything in his heart, but because of his legs, he decided to go through the dangerous and dangerous places.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Mingxu had a gentle smile on his face, but he also told everyone clearly, "My family may have some influence over there, but my situation now... if we go there together with your abilities, you may become a knife of the forces behind me. No one can guarantee whether it is good or bad."
"Now that you've cured Brother Mingxu's leg, where do you want to go?" Xu Sa asked Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi turned his head and glanced at Zhuang Mingxu. Zhuang Mingxu nodded. He also wanted to know.
"...a crescent moon," said Lu Weiyi.
A dozen people looked at each other. None of them had heard of this place. Xu Sa asked tentatively, "How romantic?"
Zhuang Mingxu looked at him speechlessly and explained, "It is the name of a private island located in the sea southeast of Kyoto."
"Oh, I remember now. It's the island you bought for Lu Weiyi as a coming-of-age gift, the crescent-shaped one?" Wu Yue said with a look of sudden realization.
"...Poverty limits my imagination." Gu Qingyue looked confused.
"Jealousy has changed me beyond recognition," said Xu Sa.
"Envy makes me split apart?" Gu Qingji rarely responded to a joke.
Zhuang Mingxu ignored the others and asked in confusion, "It's surrounded by the sea. You need a yacht or a private plane to go there. It's safe, but it's a bit isolated from the world, right?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head. The earthquake changed the earth's crust. The movement of the earth's crust also caused several nearby islands to overlap, separating out an island similar in shape to Hainan Island.
In his previous life, Lu Weiyi remembered hearing Zhuang Mingxu mention that the place was occupied by an earth-type mutant who had built a powerful base that was ranked among the top bases in the country.
The first thing he thought of after the end of the world was to go there. Later, because of Zhuang Mingxu's leg, he had to make other choices. But if he really wanted to go, there must be the most suitable place.
There was no way to tell them all this. He was silent for a moment, and finally said, "I roughly estimated the distance the earth's crust moved after the earthquake. The island should be close to the inland and close to the city of Pingjin. It is convenient to find supplies, independent from the outside world, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and very suitable for survival."
"How big is the area?" Li Zhuang asked.
"... maybe dozens of square kilometers," Lu Weiyi said ambiguously.
"This is bigger than any small country in the West. How much money can you afford to buy such a big island?" Antonio thought he was a rich man, but in comparison, he felt like a pauper.
"Yeah, good, rich," Dean responded, giving Zhuang Mingxu a thumbs-up gesture.
"..." Zhuang Mingxu knew best how big the crescent moon was. When he heard what Lu Weiyi said, he thought it was his unspeakable ability similar to foresight, so he did not expose it. He tapped his knee with one finger and said after a moment, "What do you think about us building our own safe base there?"
The group was stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and a smile gradually appeared on their faces.
"I agree," Xu Sa raised his hand first.
Liu Rui nodded.
"Yes"
"+1"
"+2"
…
Not a single person among the dozen or so people objected, and they all agreed. This surprised Lu Weiyi a little. He didn't expect that Zhuang Mingxu would have such a big idea.
However, thinking about it, it seems that this is in line with his personality. After all, he is a leading figure wherever he goes. Even though his leg is injured now, Lu Weiyi does not think that he will be someone who can't get up again.
“We still have to take the risks along the way into consideration. Setting up a base is very troublesome and there will be many things we will encounter. It is better for everyone to think carefully.” Zhuang Mingxu created a dream and did not forget to pour a basin of cold water on everyone at the end.
"Let's think slowly about whether to leave or not. Should we take this opportunity to get some supplies back?" Li Zhuang raised his chin and pointed out the window. "More than half of the people in the base are missing now, and most of the supplies have been flooded. Should we take some time to pick up some supplies?"
“Don’t pick up other people’s leftovers yet. We still have tens of thousands of kilograms of frozen potatoes in the Greenland community. They must have been flooded now, and I don’t know if they have been washed away?” Although Zhuang Mingxu felt a little disappointed that the potatoes were frozen, he would be heartbroken if they were lost.
"Fortunately, we took out all the supplies from the military warehouse early on. Now most of the supplies are in the space, so the loss is not too much." Wu Yue was somewhat glad that Zhuang Mingxu had someone take out the supplies that the Li family had cheated from the military warehouse as soon as he arrived at the base. Otherwise, the flour would have been soaked and everything would have been finished.
"Hey, does this mean that we can dive and take the opportunity to steal other people's supplies..." Ning Yuan rubbed two fingers and smiled very cunningly.
"Here I have the possible locations of the warehouses of the major families in the base." Bai Miao's eyes lit up and he quickly replied.
They were all a group of wolves, and they reached an agreement in a few words. Then they checked the location and decided to implement it the next day. After confirming the action, they hurriedly went to find a place to rest.
They said they were going to take a rest, but before anyone fell asleep, Li Qing's voice calling for people was heard outside.
The next day, several people with special abilities decided to go grab supplies. The flood outside was raging and it was not very safe. The people arranged to keep watch tonight happened to be two ordinary people, Lin Yimu and Shen Xing.
The rain had stopped. The motorboat was approaching and Li Qing was shouting. Lin Yimu noticed it immediately and moved closer. He flashed a flashlight and Li Qing shouted happily, "Captain, are you okay?"
"It's okay. Why are you here so late? Is there something wrong?" Lin Yimu looked like he would go and call someone immediately if there was something.
In the dark night, Li Qing's white teeth were particularly noticeable. He smiled and said, "No, Chen Zhong and the others asked us to help send them over. I also wanted to see you, so I came here."
"Lao Lin" Chen Zhong leaned his head out from behind the motorboat, holding his wife and children by his side.
"It's good that you're okay, come up quickly..." Lin Yimu reached out to help Chen Zhong over. He dodged and immediately saw Yun Lu and her daughter hiding at the back, and paused for a moment.
"They... have to come together." Chen Zhong knew the team's attitude towards Guan Tong and her daughter, and felt that it was not appropriate to bring them here. However, Yun Lu was very good at using Lu Weiyi's reputation to speak, and Lu Weiyi's ambiguous attitude made it difficult for others to make a decision.
Lin Yimu nodded and said nothing more.
Chen Zhong's family consists of three people. In addition to his wife, he also has a 13-year-old girl. She is neither too old nor too young, and it is not very easy for her to move around in a team made up entirely of men. So the family lives in the Green Land Community. They usually help others with odd jobs under the Bai Miao trees. When Chen Zhong goes out with the team, the family lives a good life.
"The green area is too crowded, I..." Chen Zhong is just an ordinary person with no outstanding abilities in the team, so his contribution is naturally not great. Now there is no supplies at all, and his family has been hungry for a day. He had no choice but to come here with a thick face.
"We are all members of the team, and there are too many things to do here, so we overlooked you for a while. It saves me the trouble of picking you up again because you can come back," Lin Yimu said, looking at the two people following Chen Zhong, "In this weather, you should take your sister-in-law and the children in first. Shen Xing, go and see if there are any dry clothes and bring them out, and also make some hot meals."
"Okay, Brother Chen, come with me." Shen Xing led the family of three out of the room and walked to the other side.
Facing Guan Tong and her daughter, Lin Yimu didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only nod and let them follow Chen Zhong.
"Hello, where is Wei Yi? Can I go find him?" As a girl, Yun Lu instinctively looked for the person who felt the safest in her heart.
Li Qing raised his eyebrows, tied the motorboat to the window sill with a rope, and pretended not to hear. Lin Yimu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say to a child, so he turned to look at Guan Tong and said, "Take her over there."
Yun Lu wanted to say something, but Guan Tong pushed her to follow Chen Zhong and the others and leave the room.
"Captain, what's going on? She told me that she is Lu Weiyi's girlfriend. Is Lu Weiyi planning to have two girlfriends at the same time?" Li Qing turned to ask Lin Yimu.
"Don't talk nonsense, Master... he must have his own plans. He hasn't paid any attention to them since he came back. How could they be his girlfriends?" Lin Yimu touched Li Qing's still wet clothes and frowned. "I'll go find you some dry clothes to change into."
"Okay." Li Qing followed Lin Yimu out of the leaky room and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you ask Lu Weiyi what he thought?"
Lin Yimu shook his head. This matter was too private and no one could interfere.
"Where is Zhuang Mingxu? He doesn't ask either?" Li Qing felt that this did not match his understanding of Zhuang Mingxu, "This is not like him."
Lin Yimu sighed and said he was not sure.
