Chapter 176 Entrustment
"Mr. Zhuang..." Shen Xing said, speechless for a moment.
"Don't worry, Li Qing and the others will take care of you," Zhuang Mingxu patted their shoulders, "If you can't make it in the future or something happens, you can come to us. If you are not in Kyoto anymore, you should have gone to Yuebanwan. Shen Xing knows the location."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhuang," said Mr. Chen.
"Don't be so polite. You two just organize your things and I'll take you to Li Qing's place tomorrow. Go there early to adapt to the world and rest early after a tiring day." After Zhuang Mingxu finished speaking, he hurried back to his room with a happy heart.
The next morning, Lin Yimu took the initiative to find Li Qing and entrusted the person to him.
"We have a lot of people in the army, and there are many eyes around. You have so many things with you. Although the soldiers won't take your things, you'd better be careful. There is a shortage of supplies everywhere, and people are uneasy. There have been cases of stealing and killing in the past two days." Li Qing took the initiative to introduce the situation and said, "Do you want to consider putting your supplies together with the military's supplies and taking them when needed? Of course, I won't embezzle your things."
"Yes" it could be placed separately, but they didn't have a good place to put it, so they agreed immediately.
"Okay, then I'll ask them to separate a little bit." Li Qing gave some instructions to the people who followed him to move things.
"Do you two want to follow the military?" Lu Weiyi asked Guan Tong and her daughter, who had been reducing their presence since they came back yesterday, "It is not appropriate for us to take you along."
"Ms. Guan is a national-level orthopedic surgeon with excellent medical skills," Lu Weiyi introduced to Li Qing. They were going to Kyoto, where there would definitely be better doctors. Plus, it was not suitable for two women to follow them along the way, so the best way was to find them a new place.
"Then I'll trouble you all from now on," Guan Tong said knowing the situation.
"Welcome" Li Qing's message has not been updated yet. While speaking, he glanced at the other members of the team from time to time to see if he could get any latest news, but no one paid attention to him.
"Xiao Yi, leave 100 kilograms of rice and some clothes and daily necessities for Ms. Guan," Zhuang Mingxu took the initiative to say. It was too difficult for two ordinary people to start with nothing.
Lu Weiyi nodded and threw out a few more things.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhuang," Guan Tong bowed and thanked him.
"...Thank you," Yun Lu also said in a low voice, and after a moment, added, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay. Don't be bewitched by others in the future. It's not easy for your mother to take care of you." Zhuang Mingxu's magnanimous look reminded Li Qing of the mistress of the ancient times, who told the concubine to serve the master well in the future...
Li Qing shuddered and didn't dare to think about it any further. He let others take them away, then looked at Lu Weiyi and told him the purpose of this trip, "I'm here to ask for your help."
"Now the new base has been chosen on a hill a few miles away. The earth-type psychics have already built a wall at the foot of the mountain. The major forces have allocated the areas and are preparing to build houses. But there are no things like steel bars and bricks, so the earth-type psychics can only be separated from the current houses."
"The level of supernatural powers in your team is generally high. Can the earth-type supernatural beings come over to help? By the way, can you also help with space transportation so that we can set it up earlier? We also want to get some supplies out as soon as possible."
"Can't we just build a house with earth walls? Why do we have to dig bricks?" Li Zhuang's ability is enough for him to build an airtight "room" at any time, so he was a little puzzled by Li Qing's statement.
"Brother, not everyone has your special ability. They can't do it, right? Besides, we are worried that if we use earth wall directly, it will not be strong enough," said Li Qing.
"Okay, then I'll help separate the bricks and steel bars?" Li Zhuang asked.
"Yes," Li Qing said, and looked around, "Other earth-type ability users have to help too." The only team does not cooperate with other teams when going out, so no one knows the abilities of some of the team members.
"Antonio, you have to help us get some steel bars. Metal parts are too hard to find, especially high-level ones," Li Qing said to Antonio.
Antonio gestured "OK" and turned around to flirt with Dean again.
Among the three earth-type ability users in the only team, two were above level B, and they were able to separate the objects several times faster than the others. In addition, the metal that Antonio handled turned into steel bars in a short while. In just one morning, a large pile of things could be seen in front of Li Qing.
Before Lu Weiyi came, he took out some of the supplies in his space, cleared some space, and directly loaded all the things into the space and transported them to the hill.
After a flood, cars were completely rendered useless and people had to walk everywhere. All the people in the base temporarily joined together to make the road a little smoother, so there were no potholes everywhere.
Li Qing, Lei Jun and Zhang Peng "escorted" Lu Weiyi up the mountain, and when they entered the "encirclement" at the foot of the mountain, they introduced to him, "The entire mountain is not large, but there are not many people alive now, so it's enough for living for the time being."
"Is the base still controlled by people from the Li and Gu families? They all survived the drowning?" Lu Weiyi asked.
Li Qing was speechless after hearing Lu Weiyi's blunt words, but he still said patiently, "Most of the people living in Longmen Villa are fine. After all, the quality of the villa is there. Many of their subordinates died, and the team has shrunk, but the reorganization structure has not changed. Now that there are many people alive in the military, they need us to build the base, so we can have a say. It's just that there is still a shortage of supplies..."
Li Qing felt a headache when he thought about feeding so many people.
"Won't we give you supplies for your construction?" You should give benefits to those who work for you.
"Yes, but a lot of supplies have been destroyed now, and what we can give out is limited, not even enough to eat." Li Qing was helpless about this. "We are only responsible for building the wall and dividing the area, and each family will build their own base."
Lu Weiyi nodded and followed him almost to the top of the mountain, where they arrived at an area that was once again surrounded by a wall.
"The distance of 5,000 meters below the top of the mountain is divided into four parts, one for the military, one for the Gu and Li families, and the remaining small part is for other people with material resources to live in. It is now temporarily considered to be under our construction. After it is completed, the materials paid by the residents will be considered ours." Li Qing continued to introduce, pointing to the psychic who was busy building a house inside the wall and said, "This is the military residential area, and only one room has been built."
Lu Weiyi threw the supplies he brought aside, looked around, and nodded. There would definitely be no problem living here temporarily, but the area was too small for planting and the resources were non-renewable. If he wanted to plant at the foot of the mountain, there would be nothing left if there was another flood.
He told this to Li Qing. Li Qing was silent for a moment and said helplessly, "I know. Actually, I thought about leaving with you, but many people don't want to leave their familiar places. The internal vote failed. My father doesn't want to disband his legion, so he had to compromise."
Everyone has his own path, and Lu Weiyi didn't say anything. He helped them for a whole day. Finally, Li Qing was very considerate and arranged a room for each of the people entrusted by Lu Weiyi in the military residential building.
When he returned home that night, Zhuang Mingxu had already planned the route with the psychic in his family.
"We left the base and headed directly towards Shangyang City. The terrain here is relatively high, and the road will be better so we can drive. In the general direction, we will pass Anjiang City and then reach Pingjin City. This way we can first see if the location of Yuebanwan is suitable for future living. After confirming, we will turn to Kyoto to make the next plan."
"Let's go to the Xiangning City base first." Lu Weiyi still wanted to see if he could find Xu Yi. The sooner Zhuang Mingxu's leg could heal, the better, he thought. He looked at Dean with regret. If he had awakened, there would not be so much trouble.
Dean got a look for no apparent reason and immediately smiled like a golden sunflower, which made Lu Weiyi feel even more aggrieved.
"The flood is coming from the direction of the Xiangning City base. If we pass here, we may need to walk the whole way," said Li Zhuang.
Lu Weiyi nodded.
Seeing that he had no intention of changing his mind, the others didn't say anything.
"Okay, then we'll go past the Xiangning City base and then go around to Shangyang City," said Zhuang Mingxu.
After deciding on the route, everyone went to rest and recharge their batteries. When Lu Weiyi returned to the room, he saw Lu Xi sitting by the window, swinging his legs in a depressed manner, holding Zhuang Aiyi's Rubik's Cube in his hand and spinning it from time to time. He looked depressed.
"What's going on?" Lu Weiyi asked Zhuang Mingxu.
Zhuang Mingxu smiled and said, "After he heard that Li Muzi was in the research institute that day, he wanted to go and see if there were any research equipment that he could use. Today, he went there with a few people and found that most of the equipment was damaged by water, and the few that could be used were for research on the zombie virus. He came back like this."
"There must be professional weapons research equipment in Kyoto. We will be there soon," Lu Weiyi comforted Lu Xi.
"Brother, I just want to see their research progress." Lu Xi knew that Lu Weiyi was already very busy, and the whole team was counting on him, and he didn't want to cause him trouble. However, it has been so long since the end of the world, and his supernatural powers have not been upgraded quickly. The direction he wanted to research has no place to be put into practice, and he only has theoretical ideas.
"I remember that there used to be an underground military scientific research institute branch in Pingjin City. I once went there to carry out a mission. They specialized in developing some secret weapons with advanced equipment. When we passed by, we would run over and get the equipment back for you. Our little scientists will have their own research laboratory in the future," said Zhuang Mingxu.
"Really? Really? Brother Mingxu, are you telling the truth?" Lu Xi said that he didn't care, but he jumped up excitedly.
"Of course it's true. The current research directions of major bases are mostly aimed at zombies. Military weapons are not the priority compared to superpowers, so no one will touch this kind of equipment. By then, you might be the first case in the country," said Zhuang Mingxu.
