Chapter 227 Self-built Base
After the meeting, Zhuang Mingxu reminded Lu Weiyi to keep several "leaders" of the team for a small meeting.
"Let's discuss the surrounding construction," said Lu Tool Man Wei Yi, and looked at Zhuang Mingxu.
He was made to look like a puppet, and he himself was the mastermind behind the scenes, not hiding anything at all.
Zhuang Mingxu was now convinced by Lu Weiyi's attitude of giving up. He regretted that he should not have suggested that he set up position scope for the team before.
"Mainly considering another possibility, let's discuss it in advance." Fortunately, everyone in the team was familiar with each other and there were no surprises. Zhuang Mingxu said directly, "If... I mean if, the people from the military are incorporated into our team, how should we manage and be responsible for them."
Ning Yuan knew what was going on when the other party signed the IOU for supplies, so he was not surprised at all. Li Zhuang never commented when it came to making decisions, but Lu Weiyi had the strongest reaction, "No."
Zhuang Mingxu didn't expect someone to push him out. When Lu Weiyi's firm tone came out, he was stunned for a moment, "Yes...what's wrong?"
"We have no supplies." With more than 700 people, at least 500 kilograms of flour and rice go out every day, not including other daily necessities. Lu Weiyi spends every day in distress and can only secretly look at the IOU for some consolation.
Now that I know I will have to support it for the rest of my life, I suddenly feel like I have no desire to live.
Zhuang Mingxu laughed, and Ning Yuan couldn't help laughing. Li Zhuang smiled and said, "Little boy, you are so cute."
Lu Weiyi waved away Li Zhuang's teasing hand and looked at Zhuang Mingxu seriously, "We need to keep our supplies for our own expenses in Kyoto and for hiring healing psychics." Although he took whatever he saw, he was aware of the key supplies, which were related to the future of the entire team and could not be careless.
"I know," Zhuang Mingxu pulled the man over to sit next to him and explained, "The military only needs us to provide supplies for a short time. We have wood-related mutants who can induce growth at any time and can continue planting. We just need to survive these few months, and when the harvest season comes, they will be self-sufficient."
"This island is close to the inland, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If something unpredictable happens on the land, it will easily attract covetousness. It will be no problem for our team to guard this island, but it requires constant worry day and night. With the addition of these people from the military, we will have more manpower to arrange."
Zhuang Mingxu said this and emphasized, "By then, you can be a hands-off boss again."
The words "hands-off shopkeeper" immediately aroused Lu Weiyi's interest. He thought about how he had been alone at night, and later with the addition of Li Qing and his group, he could just sit around and do nothing at night...
Lu Weiyi's heart was shamelessly moved.
"It will only be tense for a period of time, but it will bring years of ease in the future," Zhuang Mingxu lowered his voice and made promises in a coaxing tone, "Also, I have calculated our supplies, so we won't be too tight." After all, we have taken supplies from countless teams in the past six months, and the consumption of a dozen people is not that much, so feeding hundreds of people for several months is not a problem at all.
"Okay," Lu Weiyi said without hesitation, and reminded, "Leave the supplies you need for surgery."
"Okay," Zhuang Mingxu convinced the key person and turned to continue the previous topic, "What do you think?"
"Li Qing's team can be directly merged into Team 2. They are a complete team and the members are familiar with each other's coordination abilities. There is no need to separate them." After thinking about it, Ning Yuan took the initiative to suggest, "The psychics below will be organized into different teams according to their different attributes. We will arrange people to manage them, and ordinary people will be counted as another part."
In the meeting of five people, Lu Weiyi habitually turned his hands off, Li Zhuang just listened and did not express his opinion until the crucial moment, and Xu Sa looked around and saw that Zhuang Mingxu and Ning Yuan were discussing with great interest and enthusiasm. They even made a plan for the security of the base in the future and even divided the five islands into areas.
"Hey, interrupt me for a moment." Xu Sa thought they were a little too fanciful. "Have you ever thought about why they want to merge with us?"
"Their combat effectiveness is not good. It is unlikely that they can defend the island on their own. They lack military strength and have no external assistance." The consequences can be imagined. This is also the only aspect that the team attaches great importance to Lu Xi's research. On the premise that they have few people but good military strength, they also plan physical support. Li Qing and his group, who have nothing, can't do it at all.
"Moreover, they must first stay alive. Even if there are wood-type mutants among them, the continuous supply of food every day cannot provide food for more than 700 people," Ning Yuan said bluntly.
"They can borrow our money for the transition," Xu Da said.
Anyway, I have borrowed it for several days.
"Will you borrow enough for a few months?" Ning Yuan chuckled, "We say we lend to give face. If Li Qing and his group have a bottom line, they won't ask to borrow supplies for a few months. If he asks for it, then there's no need to get along with him."
Xu Sa thought about it, nodded, and gestured for them to continue.
They kept talking until Lu Weiyi began to doze off. Finally, the plan was temporarily completed. Zhuang Mingxu left some "post-meeting homework" to consider how to connect to the inland area with vehicles.
The distance is more than 3,000 meters, and the motorboat is not far away, so building a bridge seems outrageous.
Xu Sa felt like he was back to the age when he was dominated by homework.
**
The next day, a group of people began to land on the island and explore one by one.
When we got to the largest island, we found that it was not made up of a whole inland area, but was a mixture of adjacent areas. The asphalt roads were surging and mixed, some houses were uneven and pieced together, and the ground was bumpy, making it difficult for people to walk.
Some people died in their sleep, some left only half of their bodies, and some turned into zombies and wandered around.
This is what the scene looks like after an earthquake.
After inspecting several small islands, Lu Weiyi informed Li Qing and his party that they had decided to stay. "You guys discuss it. If you disagree, we can take you with us when we go to Kyoto later."
Li Qing's team held a meeting in the morning. Xi Shi and a few others began to prepare meals. When Zhuang Mingxu was discussing the island planning with others, Lu Weiyi was digging a basement with three earth-type mutants.
After hearing what he said, Li Zhuang immediately remembered the inexplicable sinkhole in the weapons research and development center. Thinking of that possibility, he couldn't help laughing, "Little friend, you are simply..." It is not enough to describe it as plucking feathers from a passing goose.
Lu Weiyi didn't understand.
Li Zhuang waved his hand to indicate to continue.
"Nervous!" Lu Weiyi muttered, and looked at the other two people to compare their sizes.
"Digging such a large area directly can easily cause collapse," Wu Yue said directly after listening to him.
"My ability can last for half a minute," Li Zhuang said, and Lu Weiyi knew that he had guessed what he was going to do.
After explaining it to the other two people, the four of them discussed and determined the final location of the basement.
Before taking action, Lu Weiyi gave a lot of crystal cores to each person as a temporary supplement for their insufficient superpowers.
Wu Yue and Xiong Jie worked together to compress the required underground land into the rest of the space. As the space became larger and larger, Li Zhuang's supernatural powers followed suit and lifted up the unsupported upper part with his supernatural powers.
"Not enough, speed up." Li Zhuang's face turned red and veins bulged, and Lu Weiyi urged him.
The situation of the other two people is not necessarily much better.
If it weren't for the privacy of materials, it would be easier to find more earth-type ability users, but when it comes to the foundation of one's life, no one dares to be careless.
"Ah——!" With Xiong Jie's loud roar, the compression speed increased rapidly. Wu Yue then squeezed out all his supernatural powers, and the underground area suddenly expanded a lot. Li Zhuang's pressure became greater and greater, and his face began to turn pale.
Lu Weiyi quickly put the entire basement in. As Li Zhuang's supernatural power was interrupted, the inappropriate gaps were spontaneously filled by gravity.
After checking and finding no surprises, Lu Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to hand crystal cores to the three people whose superpowers had been overdrawn.
Lu Weiyi shouted to the two people who were cuddling under the pavilion, "Antonio, come and work."
"I'm a patient," Antonio said in a strong voice.
"Dean—"
Before Lu Weiyi could finish his words, Antonio stood up and walked over with Dean, "Let me do it."
The three people nearby burst into laughter.
"There is a metal basement underneath. Either separate the wires in the metal or connect them all," Lu Weiyi pointed to the elevator entrance corresponding to an inconspicuous room in the side building and said, "There are dual iris and magnetic card detection devices there. Find the right person to help."
"..." Antonio was silent for a long time, "Lu, didn't I tell you that I am just an uneducated bodyguard."
"Even beggars have to complete their sales tasks." Lu Weiyi wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but found that he had to stand on tiptoe. He silently withdrew his hand and added before leaving, "This is about Dean's freedom to eat snacks."
The three people who absorbed the crystal cores laughed when they saw Antonio curling up his legs and leaning on Dean's shoulder in a very ungraceful manner. Lu Weiyi looked back and a relaxed smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of his mouth.

That afternoon, Li Qing brought several representatives to see Lu Weiyi.
The villa has been occupied. Everyone was busy all morning, tidying up the villa and the courtyard. Now it doesn't look desolate at all.
Li Qing sat at the corner of the sofa, pulling Lin Yimu and whispering, looking up at Lin Yimu with sparkling eyes, like a eager puppy.
Lin Yimu seemed to be in a good mood. As he listened to him, he patted Li Qing on the back of his head. Li Qing covered the back of his head with his hands, and they both laughed.
Lu Weiyi had never been treated like this before. Lin Yimu had always treated him with all-round care, as an elder treats a younger generation, which made it seem more intimate.
Classmate Lu Xiaoyi was jealous and wanted to go over to disturb them, but Zhuang Mingxu pulled him and walked towards the sofa.
Lei Jun, Li Yan and several representatives were sitting there.
There were no drinks in the villa except a few bottles of wine. During the meeting, hot water was poured out and each person had a cup. "There is only hot water in the house, so just drink it."
Apart from the initial curiosity, he quickly took over the management of the villa. In just one morning, he checked every nook and cranny and even renovated the kitchen to make it suitable for cooking.
