Chapter 201 Weapons Research
"Yes, I saw that he seemed to be living very well. Could it be that his father's people rescued him? Will he come to take revenge on us?" He Jun said in panic.
"Him?" After the end of the world, Liu Mo had the jade space given by his father, and he also awakened his water-related supernatural powers. He lived a comfortable life and had long forgotten the existence of Lu Xi. It was only after a moment of reaction that he remembered him.
"Now the entire base belongs to my father. Even if they want to do something, they have to see if they can do it. He must know the principle that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake."
"His father is a high-ranking military official. The people should not fight against the officials." He Jun was still worried.
Liu Mo looked down upon his behavior of having the courage to do bad things and then being scared out of his wits, and sneered, "In this world nowadays, where are there any officials? My family is the official, and I am the reason here."
Her tone was arrogant, and it was obvious that she was usually flattered by others. "If he doesn't come over, we'll just pretend nothing happened. If he comes over to make a fuss, then we'll send him away again. It happens that my good fourth brother likes beautiful things, so maybe I can get a jade space from him. It is said that the jade my father gave him opened up two spaces, but he has never used them."
He Jun felt a little relieved after hearing her confident words. The two chatted for a few more sentences and then He Jun went to help pack up the things with peace of mind, leaving Jing Yang and Liu Mo at home.
Liu Mo leaned against Jing Yang, and her fingers with red nail polish slowly stroked across Jing Yang's chest. "What are you thinking about? Why don't you say anything?"
"I was thinking..." Jing Yang paused and said, "I remember Zhang Qian said that Lu Xi is a genius in weapons manufacturing."
Zhang Qian is another one of them, an ordinary person, now working as a researcher in the base's research institute, specializing in weapons manufacturing. Liu Dali was not advanced enough to ask her to manufacture crystal core weapons, but only asked her to study existing weapons such as cannons.
"Yeah," Liu Mo nodded.
"Zhang Qian said some time ago that the crystal core contains a large amount of energy. If it can be extracted, maybe we can develop crystal core weapons. I asked her to study it privately before, but the effect was minimal. If we can get Lu Xi here, maybe we can have significant results." Jing Yang rubbed Liu Mo's body with one hand so as not to delay his thinking.
"Under the current circumstances, crystal cores are easier to obtain than other energy sources. If we have crystal core weapons, then we won't have to worry about your big brother anymore."
"But...what we did back then, do you think he would be willing to come?" Liu Mo asked.
"It was He Jun's idea at the beginning. At worst, we can throw He Jun out and say that we didn't know about it. Then we can use benefits to tempt the members of their team to abandon Lu Xi. With these two approaches at the same time, Lu Xi, who is desperate, will have no choice." Jing Yang said this lightly, and it seems that he has done a lot of bad things.
"If it really doesn't work, we can then unintentionally lead your fourth brother to meet Lu Xi. Lu Xi is young and good-looking, so he will definitely attract his attention. When he is harassed, we will help him. Using both kindness and force, he will come willingly."
"Okay, then what should we do now? Should we go find him?" Liu Mo asked.
"No," Jing Yang said, holding Liu Mo with one hand and stroking his chin with the other hand, "I will find someone to inquire about their situation first, and by the way, ask about Lu Xi's abilities and his position in the team, so that I can know myself and the enemy."
While they were inquiring about the situation, someone from Liu Bei's place was also inquiring about them, but the two parties were inquiring about different focuses. One was Lu Xi, and the other was Lu Weiyi. However, they had just arrived and knew only a limited number of people, so the information they inquired about was basically nothing.
After Ning Yuan, Xu Sa and other three followed into the base, they did not see Liu Dong. It was He Kai who was entertaining them the whole time. When Liu Dong found out that both parties were asking about this team, he immediately arranged for someone to ask them questions and called He Kai over.
"Brother Dong," He Kai looked at the gentleman in front of him with glasses, "It's so late, is there something you want me to do?"
"It's not a big deal. It's just that Liu Bei and Liu Mo asked people to inquire about the only new team at the same time, and I was a little curious." Liu Dong spoke slowly, with a string of beads on his wrist, giving him the feeling of being in control of a strategy.
He Kai raised his eyebrows and said, "Liu Bei took a fancy to someone in their team in the afternoon, so he might be going here. As for Liu Mo... I don't know."
"I asked someone, and they are mainly looking for a young man named Lu Xi. Jing Yang is a person who won't help others unless there is something beneficial. Do you know who this person is?" Liu Dong asked.
He Kai shook his head and said, "There were only four of them, two of them were very good at socializing, and I didn't get any information out of them after having a meal with them."
He Kai was also tired of this, "However, they want to exchange some supplies, including ordinary meat, live poultry, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and jade... Jade without space is also fine, as long as the quality is good."
"Jade," Liu Mo murmured, pinching the beads on his wrist, and asked after a moment, "How many spaces are there in their team?"
"One," He Kai asked out of curiosity when he heard them say they exchanged things but didn't bring any supplies, "That's the one Liu Bei liked. They said he's their team leader."
He Kai looked like he didn't know how to describe it. He pursed his lips and said, "He really doesn't look like him at all. He looks like a spoiled young master with a weak aura. I suspect they are lying."
"In that case, let Lao Si's people investigate first, and you send someone to keep an eye on it," Liu Dong said. "As for the supplies they exchanged... oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar, these are non-renewable in a short period of time, so don't worry about them. As for meat... do they want ordinary meat?"
"Yes, their captain has a son, he is three years old, he is an ordinary person, he needs nutritional supplements, he needs meat, eggs and the like." He Kai felt that this child would indeed be reincarnated. Many children starved to death in the refugee areas outside, but they could specifically pick out nutritious food. "I agreed to exchange it with them."
"Hmm?" Liu Dong looked up at He Kai.
"...They exchanged it for mutant meat, pound for pound." Although there are more mutant animals nowadays, the temperature has dropped recently and their team's stock has long been gone. He Kai couldn't help but be tempted.
Liu Dong nodded.
"What about the jade... Brother Dong, shall we exchange it? The price they offered is not bad. I think a lot of it we have is of no use." The jade may exist in space, and since they collected it in such large quantities, He Kai was worried that it might have some uses that they didn't know about, so he didn't dare to agree directly.
Liu Dong also considered this and shook his head, "We don't need any, so there's no need to move for now. You can help promote them, maybe others will want to switch."
His father was a womanizer, and his children had different mothers, but he was not biased towards his children. Ever since he knew that the jade might have space, he collected all the jade in the house and divided it into several portions. Each child could choose one portion, and whether there was space depended on luck.
Therefore, every team has a lot of jade. If it is useful, you can exchange it for others, and they will have less. But if they find out its other uses in the future, you will be the winner. If it is useless, you will not be short of supplies and you will not suffer any loss.
"I think so too. I have already contacted the people under Liu Xi, Liu Nan, Liu Bei and Liu Mo. I think they are discussing whether to make a change tonight." He Kai smiled wickedly.

When Liu Bei's men arrived, it was exactly twelve o'clock that evening. Many people in the base knew about this and were watching silently to see what was going on.
Lu Weiyi, who was on guard, immediately pinned the men down, tied up the three future psychics, quietly brought them into the tent, and handed them over to Wu Yue for interrogation.
Two hours later, Wu Yue wiped the blood off his hands, came out in the dark, and sat next to Lu Weiyi. "Liu Bei's subordinates, to be exact, are the people sent by Liu Dali to protect Liu Bei. One is from the earth element, one is from the water element, and one is from the metal element."
"Metal Department?" The people in this department are all capable. Sending them out to run errands is a bit of a waste of talent, isn't it? Lu Weiyi looked at Wu Yue in surprise.
"Maybe he is so determined to get you that he has to bring you back," Wu Yue shrugged. "He's not even at level B. I just wasted some time on him."
"Just as we guessed, Liu Dali indeed had a lot of jade, which he divided equally among his sons and daughters. He controlled a portion of the supplies himself, and he had a team of psychics who were not used to collect supplies but to protect himself. The metal-type psychic just now was one of his subordinates. This time he accepted a benefit from Liu Bei and ran an errand for him." In the end, he lost his life.
Wu Yue was speechless. “There are a total of twenty-two spaces in their family, and most of them are in the hands of the Liu family. Ordinary people without special abilities must have a space in their hands.” Wu Yue himself was also amazed at this number.
However, Lu Weiyi was thinking about the more than 20 spaces. If all of them were given to him, he might be able to repair his own space. He was a little tempted...
"I also asked about the people Lu Xi asked me to inquire about during the day. Liu Mo is Liu Dali's youngest daughter and has a water element. She now manages the fourth team. Jing Yang is now her boyfriend and the actual person in charge of the fourth team. He is a B-level fire element. There is also a person named He Jun who is an earth element. It is said that he will be upgraded soon. Another ordinary person is Zhang Qian, who is now working in the base's weapons research center, specializing in weapons research and is directly managed by Liu Dali. In addition, it seems that Jing Yang and the others have also seen Lu Xi. They asked someone to inquire about Lu Xi's situation at night, but the purpose is still unclear."
"What direction are they focusing their weapons research on? Have they achieved any results?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"What was heard were heavy weapons such as cannons and rocket launchers, but in fact they were white phosphorus grenades, shotgun shells and blank bullets." When he said this, Wu Yue frowned and looked much more emotional.
Lu Weiyi was not very knowledgeable about weapons, so he couldn't hear anything and looked at him in confusion.
Then Wu Yue explained, "These are weapons banned internationally because they are extremely lethal and... are aimed at living people."
If it was targeting zombies, it would be understandable, but targeting living people would be a bit too much.
