Chapter 231 Mutated Sea Creatures
Xu Sa breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, even if we break up, it doesn't matter..."
"No, let's break up," Liu Rui suddenly interrupted him and said angrily.
"I mean, what if..."
"No!"
"I……"
Lu Weiyi didn't let the two continue. He slapped the table to attract everyone's attention and said, "I'm just telling you, I don't recommend it. If you insist on being together, I won't force you, but——"
"Once a personal conflict occurs, the person will be transferred to the reserve team at best, or leave the team at worst. There will be no mercy."
"I hope you will consider carefully before making a decision."
Knowing the current critical matter, Lu Weiyi began to take Xu Sa and Liu Rui out every day.
It was finally discovered that the cause of the changes in the space were several boxes of jade raw materials.
"I guess the best ones in there were directly absorbed by you." Zhuang Mingxu asked someone to put all of them into the backyard of the villa, "You try to put these in the space."
"These are all stones." The raw materials in front of him were no different from the stones outside. Lu Weiyi seriously suspected that Zhuang Mingxu had made a mistake. Moreover, the jade was directly integrated into the well water. Lu Weiyi had drunk it before. If some beautiful jade was put in, it could be tolerated, but putting stones in would be a bit uncomfortable.
"It's a raw stone. I've checked it." Zhuang Mingxu pointed to a pile that had been opened and contained slices of jade materials of various qualities. Indeed, there was nothing wrong with it.
Lu Weiyi scooped a bucket of water from the well, picked up a few stones and threw them in tentatively, but there was no reaction.
After thinking about it, he washed the stones, put them into a small bucket and carried them into the well. As the water in the well rippled, the space began to tremble slightly. If Lu Weiyi had not been paying attention at all times, changes in such a large area might not have been noticed.
"It's useful," Lu Weiyi whispered, "Let someone clean it."
Putting it in while it's dirty will make Lu Weiyi feel uncomfortable when he needs to drink it someday, but he won't be unable to drink it. When he has a choice, he still wants to make himself feel comfortable.
Zhuang Mingxu found a few water-related psychics and worked overtime to wash the raw stones overnight. Lu Weiyi also spent most of the night going through all the raw stones.
"It's not completely repaired," Lu Weiyi said, looking at the remaining corners of the circle.
Zhuang Mingxu lowered his head, moved close to Lu Weiyi's abdomen, and rubbed the circular mark under his belly button, "There's still half a circle missing."
"Let's go back to Kyoto and collect the information. It should be enough. If not, we can think of another way," Zhuang Mingxu thought, his fingertips touching unconsciously.
"I..., what are you two doing so early in the morning?" Wu Yue knocked on the door twice and didn't wait for anyone's consent. He pushed the door open to see an ambiguous scene. He quickly blocked his view with documents and emphasized loudly, "This is the office, the office!"
"What are you doing? Is there a play to watch?" Ning Yuan, who was following behind him, tiptoed to look over, and when he saw nothing unusual, he walked past Wu Yue and came in.
Zhuang Mingxu pulled Lu Weiyi's clothes straight and took the drawing handed to him.
"We will first conduct an experiment on the closest North Island and West Island. We will use three small cargo ships of the same model to link together to form a 360-meter channel embedded in the foundation. With the help of the psychics..."
"I'll go first." Lu Weiyi has been going out early and coming back late recently. He has been busy towing various boats back. Now the island is surrounded.
It seems like a lot, but there are not enough for travel. However, there are some pedal boats that provide convenience for others. They can pedal to fish nearby, which is convenient and saves trouble.
"Be careful." As there had been no danger, Zhuang Mingxu relaxed his vigilance. He was not as nervous as he was when he first went out. He casually gave a reminder and lowered his head to continue discussing with the two people.
Lu Weiyi only needs to go out and consider bringing back various things, but Zhuang Mingxu has to oversee all projects in the base.
Antonio has connected the lines in the basement. It is not cost-effective to keep the power on all the time relying solely on the generator, so he can only set up many switches and turn them off when not in use.
The underground floor was used as Lu Xi's research site, and the rest was used to store scarce supplies. After taking them all out, Zhuang Mingxu had a clear idea of how much supplies Lu Weiyi had.
The entire three floors are filled to the brim, and this is just a part of it.
Some large gas tanker trucks and oil tankers only fill half of the tanks.
Besides himself, only Lu Weiyi had access to the basement, and even Lu Xi's authority was limited to the first floor. However, Zhuang Mingxu reserved a few rooms in the corners to store the family's daily necessities for Xi Shi to use, and the rest of the space could be used as a shelter.
The central Moon Bay where they live is a relatively small shallow island, which means that stronger winds and waves are enough to submerge it. It takes time to raise the foundation, and for the time being they do not have enough psychics to consume again.
Only the original team members lived on the island.
This is Lu Weiyi's private territory. Zhuang Mingxu made it very clear from the beginning that everyone can live here, but if they start a family in the future, they cannot settle here.
All the military personnel lived together on West Island and reclaimed a thousand acres of land, most of which was planted with wheat and some beans and vegetables.
Bai Miao leads the plant-type mutants to stimulate the growth once a week. Now that the wheat seedlings have sprouted, the rest of the time will be spent on growing edible materials, including potatoes, sweet potatoes and other vegetables.
The only regret is that the level of the psychics is limited, and the number produced is not enough for everyone to consume.
Fortunately, it is close to the sea, and several water-based psychics salvage nearby every day and bring in a lot of rewards. After the lives of the people in the base were guaranteed, Wu Yue put the design of fortifications on the agenda.
They are all talents trained by the country and have unique insights into military matters. After some discussion, they decided to connect to the land on the North Island.
The inland side of the North Island is higher than the coastline, and the entire island is sloped, which can minimize the distance between the two banks. The entire ship channel from the inland to the North Island forms an uphill road about 20 meters above the sea level depending on the model. Building a highway inside the North Island only requires a five-meter-long tunnel to reach the inner island directly.
With the help of this length and external objects, the island will not collapse. In addition, with a turret set up on top, only a few people carrying weapons are needed to avoid the problem of outsiders landing on the island.
Now the tunnel problem has been solved, but there are not enough people with special abilities. The connection between ships needs ordinary people to use tools, which can be completed despite taking time.
Before Lu Weiyi came out of the study and called for help, Xu Sa had already spoken.
"Brother Xi, are the meat patties ready? We are leaving." Xu Sa saw people and shouted to Xi Shi in the kitchen.
"Here they are," Xi Shi came out carrying a bowl of steaming pancakes, "Xiao Xu said you guys can eat whatever you want at noon. If you want to eat meat pancakes, I made some early."
Lu Weiyi returned to the space and turned around to look at the "casual" Xu Sa. He really didn't know where he got the nerve. What they had been eating recently were all the food that Lu Weiyi had packed before the end of the world. They had just eaten a roasted suckling pig yesterday, and Xu Sa exaggeratedly said that he could swallow his tongue.
Xu Sa smiled awkwardly, pinched one out of the basin and gave half to Liu Rui with a hissing sound. He then pulled him out and shouted, "I'll wait for you outside."
"Little daddy, Aiyi gives it to you." Zhuang Aiyi came over excitedly, holding a half-human-high pink unicorn doll, and introduced it to him as his new friend.
Meng Xi, the youngest on the island, is thirteen years old. He usually helps the adults with chores. Ai Yi is inevitably lonely, but fortunately there are many people in the team and they can take him to play wherever they go. Even if no one is watching him, he can still have fun for a long time.
On the small island outside, the collected containers were piled up everywhere, and there were also all kinds of rare things, cloth, clothing, snacks, toys, and even gems, drugs, and illegal immigrants, which made people marvel.
The two small islands had been connected by a cargo ship. A group of people stood on it holding various tools, doing the final inspection before the trial operation. When they saw him come out, they waved and greeted him.
"Captain, let's go out!"
"Captain, safe travels"
"Come back safely"
…
Lu Weiyi waved at them from a distance.
"Dad is gone, don't leave the yard alone, don't get close to things you haven't seen before, and tell adults if anything new appears," Lu Weiyi pinched the baby's soft face and warned.
"Aiyi, I'll remember that," Zhuang Aiyi responded, standing on tiptoe to kiss Lu Weiyi, then waved and said, "I'll wait for my little daddy to come back here in the evening."
"Okay." Lu Weiyi rubbed his head and got on the motorboat.
Liu Rui drove out of the island and headed in the planned direction. Xu Sa sat in the back bored and chatted with Lu Weiyi about the latest captured prey.
There are mutant yellow croakers that are longer than arms, scallops with pearls as big as fists, and crabs that can spray water as big as basins.
"The crab was not killed. They said the water it sprayed was fresh water. It was placed in a pool where it was kept to spray water. A metal room was built for it, and there was a bulletproof glass. It was treated very well. I went to see it last night. It was not afraid of people at all. It even attacked me. The water it sprayed hit the glass and fell into the pool." Xu Sa was very excited when talking about the new discoveries he had made recently. "The base has been receiving various seafood recently. Some people also said that we could engage in breeding. Otherwise, selling seafood to other bases can also increase our income."
No one responded, but Xu Sa kept chattering. The first time they walked east, Lu Weiyi was annoyed by him and said lightly, "There are teeth marks on your neck."
"..." Xu Sa shut up immediately as if his neck was being strangled. He gathered his clothes, coughed lightly, looked towards the sea level, turned back after a moment and whispered, "Don't worry, even if we break up, we won't get to the point you said, I..."
He looked up at Liu Rui's back and said softly, "I'll give in to him."
Xu Sa became alone very early. Apart from a good friend who still cared about him, there were only a group of people in prison who tried to curry favor with him.
He helped the little stutterer who was beaten once just because he took the blame for someone else's crime, and then he was forced to do chores and help with washing for him all day long.
At that time, there were countless people trying to curry favor with him, so he naturally didn't take it to heart.
After the end of the world, Xu Sa became seriously ill. The people around him took advantage of his misfortune and even worried about his health.
If it weren't for this stutterer who risked his life to protect him all the way, he would have died long ago.
He had never experienced the feeling of being protected by someone with his life. It was too good to be true and he was reluctant to give it up. However, he also knew that compared to himself, he was still young and unstable.
Who knows what the future holds?
