Chapter 195: Zombie Surrounding
"It's okay, let's go together tonight." Xu Sal happily followed him out.
The town was neither big nor small. The two walked out of the government building. There were places selling things on both sides. Lu Weiyi used his mental power to investigate but didn't see anything suspicious. Xu Sa looked around and whispered from time to time to ease the tense atmosphere.
The place they walked through was desolate and there were few zombies. If they didn't talk, it would be easy for them to have the illusion that they were the only ones left in the world. If this went on for a long time, they would easily have psychological problems. Gradually, they developed the habit of talking a lot and would say a few words from time to time.
After walking around the streets around the government, the two of them walked a little further away. Xu Sa finally realized something was wrong. He turned his head and looked at Lu Weiyi, "Do you have something to tell me?"
Normally, whenever Lu Weiyi went to a place for inspection, he would go there in person, but he usually brought along either Li Zhuang, Antonio or Liu Rui, the people with the strongest superpowers. He rarely even brought Ning Yuan, who had relatively weaker attack power, let alone himself, who was the lowest level.
"..." Lu Weiyi glanced at him, not knowing how to start.
"If you have something to say, just say it. We have known each other for so many years, there is nothing that cannot be said," said Xu Sa.
"Do you... want to improve your superpowers quickly?" Lu Weiyi pursed his lips and decided that it would be better to say it out loud. It was just a matter of agreeing or rejecting, and he didn't intend to force anyone.
"Of course I have. Is there any need to ask? You..." Xu Sa was surprised for a moment, paused for a moment, and whispered, "Do you have a solution?"
Lu Weiyi lowered his eyes and said nothing.
The crystal core of Meng Da and his group is now in his hands.
After his rebirth, Lu Weiyi's superpowers have never been weak. Lu Weiyi never thought of digging out the crystal cores of those superpower users who died in the past.
In his previous life, Zhuang Mingxu secretly absorbed a lot of crystal cores from superpowers without telling him. Compared with zombie or animal crystal cores, this thing is more suitable for humans. He didn't know it at first, but after using it more, he got a rough idea of it.
Zhuang Mingxu was thinking only of him at that time. Although he felt uncomfortable, he had no right to say anything disgusting. Even after he knew about it, he just pretended to be stupid.
Now that he has people under his command, if he gives up those crystal cores, Lu Weiyi always feels like he is throwing away the materials he has obtained - a waste. His first thought is that if he doesn't need them, he can give them to them.
I originally wanted to let them use it secretly, but I was worried that if they found out about it later, they would feel uncomfortable and there would be a gap between them.
Finally, I decided to ask Xu Sa, who I am close to, whether he wants to use it. If not, I will just sell it later.
Looking at the hundreds of crystal cores of the space users with special abilities at this moment, Lu Weiyi was actually thinking that if he had known this day would come, he should have dug out the crystal cores of the space users with special abilities he met at the beginning. Who knows, whoever absorbed them could awaken the space ability.
When this thought came to his mind, Lu Weiyi trembled unconsciously, and he suddenly felt as if he had changed.
This act similar to murder and dismemberment actually became so normal in his eyes, even regrettable...
Luo Yunqi's face turned pale.
"Lu Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you?" Xu Sa touched him, causing Lu Weiyi to shudder violently.
There was obviously something wrong with his mood, so Xu Sa didn't bother to continue his patrol and took him back to his temporary residence first.
"So fast?" Li Zhuang climbed up from the roof, jumped to the ground in a few steps, and circled around the two people.
"Brother Li, come with me to patrol. Lu Xiaoyi is so tired that he can fall asleep directly." Xu Sa pushed Lu Weiyi towards Zhuang Mingxu who came out, and covered up with a smile.
Zhuang Mingxu held Lu Weiyi's hand, his palms were full of cold sweat, and he was also a little dazed and visibly confused. This was obviously not right.
Zhuang Mingxu pulled Lu Weiyi into the only room and made him sit on his lap.
Lu Weiyi sat down and then he was distracted. He remembered that Zhuang Mingxu was holding him down and said, "It's okay. You can press on your legs. Don't you know that?"
He said something dirty in a gentle voice, and when Lu Weiyi came back to his senses, he asked, "What happened?"
Lu Weiyi rested his head on Zhuang Mingxu's neck, and after a long while he briefly told Zhuang Mingxu what happened.
"I... I don't know why I thought this way, I..." At the end, Lu Weiyi was a little incoherent.
If Lu Weiyi could have such obvious emotional ups and downs in the past, Zhuang Mingxu would definitely be very happy, whether it was good or bad, but now, Zhuang Mingxu is left with only heartache.
He was forced to grow up.
If thoughts cannot keep up with abilities, it is only a matter of time before one goes astray.
Fortunately, he discovered it before it was too late.
Zhuang Mingxu slid his big hand along his back, easing Lu Weiyi's excitement. He whispered to comfort him, and it took a while for him to calm down.
"You were right not to tell Xu Sa. No one can know about this," Zhuang Mingxu said to Lu Weiyi, "The future of a team is determined by the vision and behavior of the leader. If you set a precedent in using human crystal cores, it means that you condone this behavior."
"The members of our team have different growth experiences and different thoughts. Some have too strong a sense of justice, while others have too low a bottom line. As the captain, what you need to do is to restrict everyone's thoughts to the middle stage and keep the entire team in a framework that has a bottom line but is not too saintly. Only in this way can we better integrate with each other after running-in."
"If things go wrong with you, people with a strong sense of justice won't be able to accept it and will be easily afraid of you, while those with a weak bottom line will become more unscrupulous. The incompatibility of the three views will sooner or later cause conflicts within the team, and the disintegration of the team is a matter of time."
Lu Weiyi nodded and took out more than a hundred crystal cores from the space, "Then should I throw these crystal cores away?"
Zhuang Mingxu picked it up and took a look. Compared with the zombie crystal cores, the color of these crystal cores was purer, but it was not difficult to see that there were still some impurities in them. "This is not as good as the crystal core you purified, right?"
"Well, nowadays most of them absorb zombie crystal cores to upgrade. Zombie energy has been deposited in their bodies, and the crystal cores are the most obvious, but the energy is less than that of zombie crystal cores," Lu Weiyi replied.
"There are better ones already, so there's no need to use this one," Zhuang Mingxu took it and put it into his own space. "Since I've got it, I'll keep it first and sell it when I have the chance later."
Lu Weiyi did not refute.
"Don't think too much. Everyone makes mistakes when faced with temptation. This is not a big mistake. I don't let you use it because we are not at the end of our rope. If we really reach the brink of life and death, anything can be used." As long as Lu Weiyi can survive, Zhuang Mingxu can accept it even if he betrays the whole world.
After hearing Zhuang Mingxu's words, Lu Weiyi's hesitant heart seemed to have an invisible backbone and instantly calmed down.
Just as the two were about to go out, they heard Li Zhuang coming back and asking everyone to pack up and leave.
"What's wrong?" Lu Weiyi opened the door. The confusion on his face disappeared and he regained his calm look.
"Something's not right around here. It's like the people here just disappeared. There's no sign of them turning into zombies, nor any sign of them leaving," Xu Sa explained with a frown, "The things in some shops outside are neatly arranged and haven't been moved. The cars and daily necessities in the house are still there, and it doesn't look like anyone has left."
"Did you see anything?" Zhuang Mingxu asked.
Xu Sa shook his head and said, "Nothing."
The unknown is the scariest thing.
The others said nothing and were about to pack up when they heard Antonio, who was standing on guard in the yard, shout, "A large group of zombies are coming."
The group of people rushed out immediately and jumped to a high place in a few steps. Lu Weiyi controlled the little green branch and followed closely behind. Looking around, he saw hundreds of zombies running from the east and spreading to both sides, as if they were trying to surround them.
What's scary is not the number, but the fact that several zombies are launching superpowers to attack from afar. Judging from the appearance of those superpowers, most of them are B-level.
Water arrows and fireballs were shot at him all at once. The people above dodged and responded, asking, "What should we do?"
According to the opponent's speed and the strength range of their supernatural powers, even if they drove immediately, they might not be able to leave.
"Fight," Lu Weiyi said, and looked at several ordinary people in the hall. Dispersed protection would only distract more people, so they had to concentrate.
He quickly lifted Zhuang Mingxu up, instructed Lu Xi to pick up Zhuang Aiyi, swung the small green branch in his hand, directly pushed open the corridor blocked by Wu Yue, and ran upstairs.
He climbed all the way to the roof, told those who had no fighting ability to hide, threw a few guns to them, and instructed Lu Xi, "Lu Xi stay to protect, Wu Yue will block the way up."
"Okay." Wu Yue turned around and blocked the place where the few people came up with an earth wall, and built several half-high walls in the direction where the few people were guarding to avoid the zombies' supernatural attacks.
Lu Xi, Zhuang Mingxu, Lin Yimu and Dean, each guarding a direction, launched a sneak attack with a gun. Xi Shi held Zhuang Aiyi and squatted near Lu Xi to ensure that he was protected by him at all times.
In just a short while, the zombies below had come over and completely surrounded them.
Although Xu Sa's thunder ability has not been upgraded, its attack power is extremely strong. Facing the B-level zombies at this moment, he cannot take advantage and will not suffer a loss. However, Xiong Jie and Gu Qingyue are finding it a bit difficult to hold on. Although the attack power of the water and earth elements cannot be said to be weak, they are not as good as the gold and fire elements after all, especially when facing a being of a higher level than themselves. As for the wood element, it can only tie against the same level.
This also resulted in the dozen or so of them being clearly at a disadvantage when facing the group of zombies that were besieging them.
"Brother--" An extremely fast zombie fired several fireballs at Gu Qingji's mutated ivy, and while Gu Qingji was dodging, it suddenly approached quickly and attacked Gu Qingyue beside him. Gu Qingyue was busy using his supernatural powers to help Gu Qingji dodge the fireballs, and for a moment he didn't notice that it was impossible for him to dodge.
Seeing that the zombie's bloody hands were about to grab Gu Qingyue's face, Lu Weiyi controlled the small green branch to enter directly into the zombie's eye sockets and instantly took out the zombie's crystal core. Just before he was about to touch Gu Qingyue, he fell to the ground in a daze.
