Chapter 197 New Year's Eve
"It's time to eat," Xi said at the right time and asked people to help bring the food to the table while boiling dumplings in hot water.
"You guys eat first, I'll be on guard to prevent any zombies from attacking," said Li Dongsheng.
"I'll go together," said Lin Yimu.
"No need, I'll be on guard, let's eat together." Lu Weiyi directly threw the little green branch out. Now the range of the little green branch has reached about 1,200 meters. Their night guard is not as good as the little green branch's patrol.
“It’s a rare holiday, let’s do it together.” Zhuang Mingxu gave Zhuang Aiyi a pair of chopsticks and asked him to place them.
"Let's go together, Happy New Year," said Xu Sa, and asked Lu Weiyi to take out a bottle of wine. They poured a small glass for each of them to create a good atmosphere, and did not forget to wink at Lu Weiyi, thinking about the roast duck.
Lu Weiyi took out two roast ducks from the space and placed them on the table, making the table full of chicken, duck, fish and meat. He lowered his head and smelled the cup of white wine next to him, took a sip, and frowned as he gave it to Zhuang Mingxu on the side.
Amidst everyone's laughter, he and Zhuang Aiyi raised a glass of juice and clinked glasses together.
"cheers--!"
“May we have a better tomorrow”
“The future will be better”
The lively atmosphere filled the environment with warmth as the temperature dropped slightly. There were no parties, no firecrackers, no lights, and even no more people. In a half-collapsed building, a group of people were full of hope, blessing each other, hoping that tomorrow would be better.
**
After a while of commotion, life has to go on.
After dinner, Gu Qingyue and Xiong Jie upgraded their superpowers to level B. Lu Weiyi gave Xu Sa 100 crystal cores, "On credit. You should upgrade as soon as possible."
Xu Sa took it and thought that Lu Weiyi wanted to give it to her secretly in the afternoon. He was in a bad mood because he had too high a sense of morals, but he did not doubt it. He was afraid that other people would be dissatisfied with Lu Weiyi, so he said openly, "I will pay back the interest."
Lu Weiyi now distributes a fixed amount of crystal cores to each person, but everyone's absorption ability is different. Even if they have crystal cores in their hands, the gap is gradually widening.
The thing about Xu Sa is that he doesn’t have enough crystal cores, but Lu Xi obviously has some left over.
Lu Xi looked at him with envy. Lu Weiyi moved closer, touched his head and comforted him, "Your strengths are not here anymore, don't worry."
Lu Xi nodded heavily and looked up at Lu Weiyi, "I have already synthesized that energy substance, but it is not stable yet. I am thinking of a way. Once it is stable, we can use the crystal core for experiments."
Lu Weiyi was surprised and praised, "I knew you were a little genius and you would definitely be able to figure it out."
Perhaps he knew that his superpowers were not good enough, especially since the zombies have been upgraded recently and primary psychic powers are basically not very aggressive. Apart from protecting a few ordinary people during battles, Lu Xi basically stayed in his simple little laboratory most of the time. Needless to say, he spent a lot of time and energy on it, so it was not surprising that he got some results.
"Hehe" Lu Xi smiled embarrassedly, but also a little happy that he also made a contribution to the team.
The group swept the entire village before leaving. There were so many supplies that they had to enter the next base to collect jade.
"There is a small urban area nearby, and Shangyang City is further back. The directions of the two places are somewhat different. Should we go directly to the Shangyang City base or look around here?" Before going to bed that night, Lin Yimu took a map and looked at it and asked.
Lu Weiyi looked at the map and whispered a few words to Zhuang Mingxu, and they informed each other, "Let's go to Linqi City first, and then to Shangyang City. We will visit the nearest places where there may be large bases." Judging from their attitude of collecting everything they saw along the way, Lu Weiyi felt that repairing the space was the top priority.
There was no rush to travel, and without any objection, Lu Weiyi distributed all the B-level crystal cores he had collected. "These are all B-level crystal cores. You can absorb them yourself later. Besides, we have to go to the base, and we will inevitably enter towns and other densely populated areas. There will be more zombies, so let's hold a small meeting to discuss some plans for the future."
After Lu Weiyi distributed the crystal cores, he did not let anyone leave and spoke.
Hold...a meeting!
More than a dozen people were shocked, especially Zhuang Mingxu. Even he didn't know what Lu Weiyi was going to talk about. Everyone looked at each other. It was quite strange that Lu Weiyi, who didn't care about anything, began to tacitly become the captain and take responsibility.
At this moment, I saw him take the initiative to mention the meeting. I looked at him curiously, waiting for him to continue.
"I studied everyone's battle pattern last night and re-planned the grouping and fighting methods." A notebook appeared in Lu Weiyi's hand, which clearly recorded everyone's abilities and current levels, with a mess of drawings below.
"The zombies we see nowadays basically correspond to the five elements. The same is true for most of the psychics' superpowers. When psychics with the same attributes fight each other, it is basically impossible to win unless the level is high. So I divided our team into two groups according to the five elements."
"Since there is only one metal element and one fire element, Antonio and Liu Rui must participate in the battle between the two teams. Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, Antonio, Gu Qingji, Gu Qingyue, Liu Rui, Wu Yue and Xiong Jie, these six people are in one team, and the second team is Antonio, Li Dongsheng, Bai Miao, Ning Yuan, Liu Rui and Li Zhuang."
Due to the difference in the number of zombie crystal cores, the abilities of the psychics gradually became different, and it was obvious that the earth, wood and water three series were faster.
Li Zhuang's earth-related ability has now reached the A-level threshold, and it will probably not take long to upgrade.
Antonio and Liu Rui also had fewer corresponding crystal cores. Antonio, who upgraded first, fell behind. Lu Weiyi had to take the strength and aggressiveness of everyone's abilities into consideration when making the distribution.
"Do you have any objections to the division?" Lu Weiyi looked at the people in the circle.
Everyone shook their heads, and Xu Sa asked, "What about me?"
"You can talk about it later," Lu Weiyi said, and continued, "Each team has the five elements' abilities, so when fighting, we follow the principle of the five elements' mutual restraint. Just like yesterday's battle, each team will attack the zombies with the restraining attributes."
"In this way, even if the opponent's level is slightly higher, we can still fight. However, everyone's levels are different, and some superpowers are not very aggressive, such as Li Dongsheng and Bai Miao. So we need timely support from Li Zhuang and Ning Yuan or two other people in the same team."
"Xu Sa's superpowers are highly offensive, and when combined with water-based superpowers, they can attack on a large scale. I will make adjustments at any time based on the differences in the superpowers of the two teams," said Lu Weiyi.
"In other words, I'll be the same as Antonio and Liu Rui, running in two teams," said Xu Sa.
Lu Weiyi thought about it and nodded, "If a large number of zombies appear and two teams need to go out at the same time, like yesterday, we will follow yesterday's positions, with Antonio and Liu Rui as the dividing line, and the rest of the psychics will be scattered in a circular shape on both sides. At that time, Xu Sa will follow Liu Rui for support, and I will try my best to take Antonio's side into consideration."
"Is there anything that needs detailed explanation?" Lu Weiyi asked.
They just had a preliminary practice yesterday. Although the coordination was average, it was pretty good for a first time. The others pondered over it silently and roughly understood it. Wu Yue said, "We'll do a specific experiment to hone the coordination some other time." This kind of thing still needs practice to know the problem.
Lu Weiyi nodded.
"What about them?" Antonio asked, pointing at Dean and his group.
"When one team is needed, the other team will protect themselves. When both teams go out at the same time, Lu Xi will use the mental barrier to ensure their safety for a short period of time. I will also be a little concerned," Lu Weiyi said, "If there is an unexpected situation, I will reallocate personnel."
After the meeting, Lu Weiyi left Antonio alone.
"Can you use your superpowers to make this kind of bullet?" He took out a few gun bullets from space and handed them to Antonio.
Antonio shook his head and said, "It's very complicated. Gunpowder. Metal alone won't achieve the desired effect."
"A warhead will be fine. Try using your superpowers to compress the metal and let your superpowers blend into the metal," Lu Weiyi gave a brief explanation.
The zombies' bones will become harder and harder as they upgrade, and ordinary bullets and weapons will find it more difficult to cause damage. Before crystal core weapons appear, gun bullets reconstructed with superpowers may be able to hold out for a while.
"It's just a guess," Lu Weiyi said, taking out a machete and asking him to do the experiment, "Start with this blade."
In his previous life, Lu Weiyi remembered that there was a deputy captain of a team in Kyoto. His means of attack was a slingshot. The metal slingshot ball could break any zombie's bones no matter how hard they were. Coupled with his accuracy, many zombies were killed in one blow.
Someone even picked up his marbles and studied them. They looked no different from ordinary marbles, but the attack effect was surprisingly good. Later, a rumor spread among their team that it was his unique ability.
When Lu Weiyi was emitting his mental power out of boredom, he accidentally found out that he was just an ordinary person, and the marbles were given to him by his brother, the captain who had metal abilities. Lu Weiyi thought of letting Antonio try it.
The ordinary people in their team are generally good at shooting. If that is true, they also have a certain ability to protect themselves when facing zombies.
"OK, I'll try it." Antonio took both the bullets and the machete.
Lu Weiyi took out two hundred crystal cores from the space and gave them to him, "The team will compensate you for the superpowers you have consumed, and we will give you five hundred more after we finish the research."
"Wow, I tried hard." Antonio took it and handed it to Dean as soon as he went out the door, as if he was handing over his salary.
Before going to bed, Zhuang Mingxu took the opportunity when Lu Weiyi took Zhuang Aiyi to the toilet, pushed his wheelchair and followed out, and stood outside the hall door waiting for the two of them. There are people on guard outside, so there is basically no danger around.
"Is there something?" Lu Weiyi brought the jumping Zhuang Aiyi over. At nine o'clock in the evening, the temperature outside had dropped to around below zero, and white steam was coming out between their breaths.
Zhuang Mingxu asked Zhuang Aiyi to go back to sleep by himself.
Lu Weiyi pushed Zhuang Mingxu to the side, used his mental power to block others from eavesdropping, and this time nodded at him, motioning for him to speak.
