Chapter 208: Unable to Upgrade
"You think it's too cruel," Zhuang Mingxu said the next words for him.
Lu Weiyi is a pampered young master. He may not be a very good leader, but fortunately he is willing to listen to the opinions of his subordinates, even if he feels uncomfortable.
Zhuang Mingxu was relieved and distressed. He walked over and hugged Lu Weiyi in his arms. He stroked his hair again and again, "You have done a great job. Besides, those people are not innocent. You know in your heart that if you let them go in the future, with their special abilities, they might become a weapon for some force again."
Liu Dali was able to exclude ordinary people from the entire base, so I know how clean his people are.
Of course Lu Weiyi knew it in his heart, but he was not a nosy person. He always felt that those things had nothing to do with him, so it was not his turn to be the messenger of justice.
He wiped his face and forced himself to be cheerful, saying, "It's okay."
"This is the jade space I got from Liu Dali. Do you want to take two more? Do you want to share it with them?" He took out more than twenty pieces of jade of different sizes from his underwear.
"So many?" It was the first time that Zhuang Mingxu felt that the space was so worthless. He took it and counted it. There were a total of twenty-eight yuan.
"He alone has twelve pieces, covering an area of more than 300 square meters. The rest belong to those psychics and his daughter. The largest number does not exceed dozens." Lu Weiyi picked out the largest pieces.
"One is enough for me, and I don't have anything else to put usually." Zhuang Mingxu took a piece and said, "I'll keep this for Aiyi for future use. With the rest, try to see if I can repair your space better. If I can, I'll repair your space completely. Maybe your jade pendant will have unexpected benefits after it is repaired."
Lu Weiyi was also anxious to repair his own space. He nodded and put several large pieces into the space. Usually, jade stones had to be placed in well water to be absorbed, but as soon as these pieces were put in, it was as if they were integrated into the world. An indescribable energy floated from the jade and then dissipated in the space. The jade directly turned into white powder and scattered on the ground.
"Hmm?...Hmm!" Lu Weiyi frowned and was about to go in to see what was going on, when he felt the entire space shaking violently, as if an invisible hand quickly smoothed out the damaged area, and a sharp pain came from his belly button.
"Xiao Yi!" Zhuang Mingxu was startled and stared at him nervously.
"It's okay, it's just a stinging pain when the space is being repaired," Lu Weiyi said, looking at the small area that had been repaired, "It's bigger than the area that was repaired with thousands of kilograms of jade before."
"It seems the effect is very good. How many places are left to be repaired?" Zhuang Mingxu was also very happy.
"Only one quarter of the space is left," Lu Weiyi looked across the space.
"Then you can use the others as well," said Zhuang Mingxu.
Lu Weiyi nodded and paused, "Li Zhuang saw it when we took the jade, and he also knew there was a jade space. Does it matter if I used them all? Should we leave a few behind? After all, the space can be repaired with ordinary jade."
Although Zhuang Mingxu couldn't see through Li Zhuang's attitude towards Lu Weiyi, he felt that he was not the kind of person who would talk nonsense. "Now everyone assumes that you are the team leader. You have the right to distribute these things, and others have no right to question it. However, what you said makes sense. Jade spaces are rare, so you can keep a few. Now the area of your space is sufficient. When it is not big enough, you can always replenish it with jade. We will try to use ordinary jade for repairs first."
"Okay, then you put them away first." Lu Weiyi handed the remaining small ones to Zhuang Mingxu, "Do you want to sort out the crystal cores?"
When Lu Weiyi talked about this, he became visibly excited. He held up his mental barrier and showed the antique gold bars to Zhuang Mingxu one by one, and finally took out the crystal core.
"They are all of five elements attributes, there is not a single ordinary one. No wonder we have to run away quickly. You have taken away all their capital." Zhuang Mingxu found it funny to think that the group of people had worked so hard for so long in the doomsday for nothing.
Zhuang Mingxu packed the crystal cores into packages of 100 according to their different properties, totaling more than 30,000. The B-level crystal cores alone were more than 5,000. Lu Weiyi was shocked when he heard this amount.
This also made him realize the current level of evolution of zombies.
"We've had a good harvest this time, so we'll give everyone 100 yuan as a team benefit." Zhuang Mingxu counted the amounts and finally reminded, "Xu Sa, you don't have to give it. Just consider it as repayment for the previous debt."
Lu Weiyi nodded and collected most of them into the space, "Take the rest and use it for daily distribution."
Psychics need crystal cores to practice. Now that they take small paths, they only see dozens of zombies a day, which is not enough for their daily absorption needs. Lu Weiyi has been using his previous earnings to subsidize them.
As soon as Zhuang Mingxu entered the space, Lu Weiyi felt a powerful mental power fluctuation and hurriedly released the mental power to protect others.
The busy people outside noticed this mental power and quickly put down what they were doing. They gathered together spontaneously, looked at each other, and their eyes all looked towards Lu Weiyi's room.
They seemed to tacitly agree that this was emanating from Lu Weiyi.
"They know that I have psychic powers?" Lu Weiyi was still a little surprised.
"Did you hide everything?" Zhuang Mingxu was helpless about his carelessness.
Thinking about how many times he had leaked information inadvertently, Lu Weiyi felt that his teammates were really good.
Then another wave of mental power suddenly spread out, and Bai Miao shouted, "Oh shit!" The sound seemed to explode in the quiet surroundings.
"Bai Miao?" Several people shouted and walked towards the room.
Lu Weiyi withdrew his mental power, "Lu Xi has been upgraded, and Bai Miao was slightly injured."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xi knocked on the door anxiously, "Brother, brother, Bai Miao has a nosebleed, can you go and see what's wrong with him?"
Lu Weiyi opened the door and said, "The mental power you exuded stimulated his brain. When you upgrade next time, be careful to restrain it. Just apply ice and rest for a while and you'll be fine."
Lu Xi hurriedly went outside to find ice. Antonio was standing in the yard holding a wrench like a repairman. He leaned over and said, "Lu, I need metal to make a bed, and also, crystal cores."
In the yard, Antonio had wrapped the carriage of a nine-meter-long truck with metal. It had two floors, about seven or eight meters in total, like a walking two-story building.
Lu Weiyi took some metal products from the space and threw them on the ground. He also gave him 200 crystal cores and went to look at the design drawings on the side.
"Near the front of the car is a 1.5-meter-wide bed, leaving 80 centimeters for cooking. At the back, there are 1.8-meter-wide horizontal and 1.5-meter-long beds staggered in an alternating pattern, all with upper and lower bunks, so everyone has a place to rest," Antonio explained to him proudly, pointing to another one and said, "Second floor, three areas, a generator, a chicken coop, and Xiao Lu's room. Perfect."
"Perfect." Lu Weiyi gave him a thumbs up and left him another hundred crystal cores as a "reward."
"Oh, thank you." Antonio took it swiftly and handed it to Dean who was wrapped in a cotton coat, "Baby, all for you."
Dean took it happily and kissed Antonio on the face. The big guy then went forward and gave him a passionate French kiss.
Lu Weiyi turned his head and looked around. Gu Qingji and Li Dongsheng were sitting on the roof, each guarding one direction, and the abnormal ivy had surrounded the house half a circle.
Lin Yimu and a few others were busy preparing the next meal. The bowls and plates filled half of the living room. Aiyi huddled next to the group of people, being fed a bite from time to time, in return for his babyish thanks and compliments.
Xu Sa and Liu Rui watched over Li Zhuang as he upgraded, replenishing his consumed crystal cores from time to time. Almost an hour had passed, and he was still in a leisurely state.
After Xishi had prepared dinner, Xiongjie lingered at the door of the room and listened to the noise.
"Let's eat first," Lu Weiyi said, looking at Ning Yuan and Wu Yue who came in with him after their inspection.
The two of them showed undisguised joy on their faces.
"There are live animals in this village. Should we exchange some?" Ning Yuan ran to Lu Weiyi and asked in a low voice.
"There are cows, sheep, rabbits, chickens, ducks, and so many of them just from what we saw," Wu Yue added.
"The opportunity cannot be missed," Antonio responded immediately and whispered a few words to Dean. Dean looked at Lu Weiyi eagerly.
Lu Weiyi looked through the dirty glass covered with spots and saw Zhuang Aiyi in the hall holding a small bowl. He took a sip of soup, looked up with a smile and praised it for being delicious.
Xi's eyes were full of kindness, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were gentle. "This is an ordinary sheep bone. It tastes good, you can drink more. There is also meat to eat."
The weather was cold, so everyone cooked mutton soup to warm themselves up. There were two large pots full of meat and bones, served with a handful of noodles, chopped green onions, coriander and chili oil. Each person could eat two large bowls.
The freshly baked pancakes are steaming hot and look appetizing at first sight.
Before the meal started, several people in the hall had already secretly eaten several meals.
Lu Weiyi glanced at the space. The huge area was compactly packed, and the subdivided categories were just like that. When averaged out per person, it seemed even smaller.
"Ask them what they need." Lu Weiyi sighed silently, his eyes swept around the truck, hesitating between modifying a new one to carry the live animals and killing the storage.
**
Halfway through the meal, Xu Sa opened the door, looking anxious, and called out in a low voice, "Wei Yi, come and take a look, something seems to be wrong."
Everyone in the hall put down their bowls and chopsticks, followed Lu Weiyi towards the room, and gathered at the door.
Li Zhuang leaned casually against the wall in the room with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed. Sweat dripped from his forehead. The crystal core in his hand was still being consumed, but at half the speed.
"What's wrong?" Lu Weiyi approached and could feel the energy fluctuations around him were unstable, as if he was on the verge of success and couldn't make it work.
"...cannot upgrade." Li Zhuang's whispering voice sounded unusually clear in the quiet environment at this time.
The energy was already full and could be upgraded successfully if it broke through the barrier, but even with thousands of crystal cores entering his body, he still felt something was missing. His body had reached its limit and instinctively stopped absorbing energy.
No one in the hall had ever heard of such a situation. They looked at each other and finally focused their attention on Lu Weiyi.
