Chapter 192: A sneak attack by a superpower
"Ahem..." Su Yan felt a little embarrassed and stopped pretending. He snatched half a handful of melon seeds from Lin Yimu and said, "I am telling the truth. Otherwise, how could I let my wife, a wood-type mutant, go with me to look for supplies? Alas, I am really poor now."
"Just tell me, what do you want to do?" Wu Yue asked from a distance, spat on the melon seed shells, took a cup and asked Ning Yuan to add some water.
Su Yan coughed twice, looked at Zhuang Mingxu, and asked, "Is the news true?"
Zhuang Mingxu nodded.
"I bought the news together with the Xu family, but... well, can you give me that experimenter? We are all family, so please give me a discount. I really can't afford 5,000 crystal cores," Su Yan said, "I..."
"Hush" Lu Xi suddenly walked over and winked at Zhuang Mingxu and Lin Yimu, while Wu Yue and Ning Yuan next to them had already noticed it.
Su Yan, not knowing what was going on, looked at the few people and saw Lu Xi walking towards them quickly. He put up a mental barrier and whispered to Su Yan, "Someone is using supernatural powers to eavesdrop on your conversation."
Su Yan was surprised. He had never heard of this kind of ability. "What kind of ability?"
"Don't talk about psychic powers anymore, otherwise he can see everything you say and everything you do," Lu Xi said, and then reminded, "Feel the energy fluctuations around you carefully, you can feel it a little bit."
Su Yan nodded and immediately changed the subject, talking about his past in the military.
Until Su Yan left, Lin Qingya's mental power had been wandering among the group of people.
Lu Xi was not much different from her and did not dare to explore her location. However, Lu Weiyi noticed where she was hiding at a glance and recognized her as the girl who followed Gao Tianpeng during the day.
After telling Zhuang Mingxu about it, Zhuang Mingxu thought for a moment and said, "Gao Tianpeng might want to eavesdrop on the news directly through her. If we can't get it here, we can eavesdrop on others, which will cost the least. As for Meng Da, it's obvious that he wants to get it by force. As for the remaining Su Yan and Xu Sen... who do you want to give them to?"
"Do you want to give it to Su Yan?" If the person had no idea and wanted to pay directly, Zhuang Mingxu would not ask.
"It's not necessary to give it to him, but we are comrades after all, and we are doing him a favor and getting the crystal core in return, so it's not a loss," said Zhuang Mingxu.
Lu Weiyi nodded, "How much do you think is appropriate to give him?"
"Four thousand, give it to me privately," Zhuang Mingxu said. A thousand yuan off was considered a good deal. "Also, let someone tell Xu Sen and Su Yan about the girl next to Gao Tianpeng. There's no such thing as getting something for nothing."
Lu Weiyi nodded, called Lu Xi over, and after talking to him, asked, "How is your research going?" They now have two trucks, one of which is filled with Lu Xi's experimental equipment. Lu Xi stays in it almost all the time.
"I have already measured the energy body in the snow water and am now trying to simulate it. I will tell you when there is any effect." Lu Xi became very excited when he talked about this.
"Okay, tell me anytime if you need anything." Once the research is completed, there will be no need to worry about running out of snow water at any time. That will be the time to really generate income. With the money, plus Lu Xi's professional research on weapons, at least they will have the capital to establish a base. "Go find someone to go in with you, don't go alone."
"Okay," Lu Xi said, looked around, and finally fixed his sights on Xu Sa and Liu Rui.
Lu Weiyi did not ask how Lu Xi told them, but after the three of them came back, he gave him 200 crystal cores, calling it teaching fees.
Later, when Xu Sa talked about this with the team, Lu Weiyi realized that these three people not only told them who the psychic powers were and some basic abilities, but also asked them if they wanted to experience the energy fluctuations during psychic power detection to prevent being exploited in the future.
The experience fee is 200 crystal cores per hour.
Lu Weiyi found the news very funny. Their entire team was now developing a trend of being obsessed with money.
I don’t know what they did, but Lin Qingya’s investigation disappeared soon after.
In the evening, Xu Sen, Su Yan and Gao Tianpeng came outside together, saying that they wanted to verify the authenticity of the news. Of course, the experiment subjects were from the Xu family.
After counting the five thousand crystal cores, Lu Weiyi did not hesitate and let the person into the tent and started absorbing the crystal cores. Half an hour later, a new first-level mutant was born.
Although I could still hear the other party's screams of pain when they upgraded, the most important thing was that they survived and successfully upgraded.
"I bought the news," Xu Sen said to Lu Weiyi after he asked the psychic if there was any problem.
"I'll contribute a part," Su Yan said, and he and Xu Sen looked at Gao Tianpeng at the same time.
The girl who was following Gao Tianpeng at this time was no longer the same one as before. Although he did not show anything on his face, his fingers that kept rubbing showed that he was anxious. Until the two people impatiently wanted to leave him, he said reluctantly, "Together."
The three families paid their share of the five thousand crystal cores respectively, and Lu Weiyi did not hide anything and told them directly.
"Mutated plant crystal core?" Su Yan immediately remembered what Li Qing said about the mutant plant that was dealt with by Lu Weiyi. "Is it the mutant ivy from before?"
This was a good excuse. Lu Weiyi nodded and said, "There were several other plants there at the time."
"The abnormal ivy has been there for a long time, occupying several hilltops, and no one has dared to deal with it. I didn't expect it to have such benefits." Su Yan couldn't help but sigh, good people are really rewarded.
"That's the news. However, mutated plants are not easy to hunt, so be careful if you encounter them in the future." After Lu Weiyi finished speaking, he seemed to be sending the guest away.
Gao Tianpeng didn't even say hello and just said goodbye and left. Xu Sen and Su Yan returned to the base together, but came out secretly after a while.
"Brother, do you have any extra ones? Sell them to me at a lower price," Su Yan said to Lu Weiyi as soon as he came in. "The Xu family and I were originally evenly matched, but this is not a new start. Both families have B-level psychics. Now that they have one more, I am bound to be affected. Besides, the mutant plants are not easy to find. If they appear, I will have to fight with others to the death. If you have any extra ones, sell one to me."
Perhaps knowing that his request was not very reasonable, Su Yan compromised and said, "I can only offer a little over 4,000 for the crystal core. As for the other things, tell me if anyone is interested in them. I will give them all to you without any hesitation."
"I want meat, the ordinary meat like before the apocalypse, or meat from animals that have not mutated, chicken, duck, fish, cow, sheep, anything is fine," Lu Weiyi said directly.
When Zhuang Mingxu heard this request, he felt sweeter than eating honey.
"Meat? I have some mutant meat. I came across a few mutant sheep some time ago. Now there is some left. I'll send it all to you?" Su Yan himself is a mutant, so he naturally thinks that mutant meat is more nutritious.
"I want one without mutations," Lu Weiyi emphasized.
Su Yan thought about it and thought that it must be for ordinary people to eat. "Okay, I'll go back and check. I'll get it for you tomorrow morning."
"Okay," Lu Weiyi said.
"Then I'll go back and prepare. Also, you guys better be careful with Meng Da. That idiot is a fire-type mutant, B-level. If they don't get involved, they must be trying to take it from you secretly, either tonight or later. You better be alert," Su Yan reminded.
"I see," Lu Weiyi replied, and after thinking for a while he asked, "The girl next to Gao Tianpeng..."
"I don't know. Xu Sen handled it." Su Yan felt sick when he thought of this. "If you hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known. Several times before, news of our cases spread quickly and Gao Tianpeng's people got the upper hand. We always suspected that it was each other's conspiracy. Who would have thought that there was such a supernatural power? It's simply..."
If you don't have special abilities and can't protect yourself and dare to show up, you will be dealt with.
Lu Weiyi had faced something like this in his previous life, so he knew what was going on and didn't ask any more questions.
**
That night, after midnight, the voice of Antonio, who was on guard, was heard through the intercom, "People are coming, a lot of them."
Not planning on staying for long, the group set up a tent. The remaining trucks were two trucks. One truck compartment was set up as Lu Xi's temporary laboratory, and the other was arranged like an RV. The compartment was made of metal that Antonio had made using his supernatural powers. There were two double bunk beds integrated into the body of the truck, which could protect against wind and rain and provide a place for people to rest during the day.
Zhuang Mingxu has a problem with his legs, so in order to avoid wasting time climbing out of the car in case of an accident, he has been resting in the car, with Lu Weiyi and Zhuang Aiyi accompanying him.
Hearing the sound, Lu Weiyi jumped up from the bed. Zhuang Mingxu held Zhuang Aiyi, who was still sleeping, in his arms and pulled out a gun from under the bed with one hand.
Dean, who was on the lower bunk next to him, jumped up from the bed, doing exactly the same thing as Zhuang Mingxu; Xiong Jie, who was on the upper bunk, jumped down, picked up Xi Shi and put him next to Zhuang Mingxu's bed; Bai Miao and Li Dongsheng, who were on the upper bunk opposite, also jumped down quickly.
"I'll go out, you guys protect this place," Lu Weiyi said to the three psychics, then quietly opened the car door and jumped out.
Fearing that they would be attacked by mutant animals at night, they always lit a bonfire at night. At this time, the fire had gone out. In the darkness, a group of people formed a circle around two side-by-side trucks. The supernatural power they emitted allowed them to clearly see the team of hundreds of people in the distance.
It's really a must-win.
As the group approached, Lu Weiyi whispered an order, "One person should deal with the five in front, and the battle should be quick and decisive, and no one should be left alive."
After he finished speaking, Lu Weiyi jumped onto the roof of the truck first. His A-level mental power directly covered an area of more than 800 meters, preventing the people who were guarding the base not far away from being alarmed.
At the same time, the group of people who were surrounded took the lead in launching an attack. Shrieks of terror were heard from all directions in an instant. Lu Weiyi kept his eyes on the surroundings. Anyone who ran away when he found something wrong was pulled over and strangled to death. Even those who were observing the situation from a distance and waiting to report the news were not spared.
