Chapter 237: The Bridge is Completed
The feeling of falling into the water was all too real.
It is extremely uncomfortable to inhale water into the lungs.
Everyone in the "Hold" team never questioned Lu Weiyi's unreasonable demands, even if they were rushing straight towards the zombies. Suddenly, they were resisted silently, and Lu Weiyi's interest in watching the fun faded.
His eyebrows and eyes were originally cold, and even more so when they were indifferent. After a year of fighting, he unconsciously carried a fierce aura on him, and every move he made was faintly oppressive.
There was no force in his tone; it was just two very calm words, as if it didn't matter if someone didn't accept it.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Li Qing was about to say a few words to ease the tension when he was pulled back by Lin Yimu beside him.
Lin Yimu shook his head slightly at him.
There was silence.
Qi Lin reached out to take the blindfold and put it on slowly as if he was being humiliated.
Lu Weiyi raised his chin towards the sea, and Li Qing grabbed Qi Lin's hand and walked towards the coastline.
"I'll save you for 50 meters, if it's less than that, swim back by yourself."
As Li Qing shouted "start", Qi Lin paused and rushed towards the sea at full speed.
This time the speed is significantly faster.
Three meters.
Eight meters.
Fifteen meters.
Thirty meters.
…
Everyone around was stunned. They held their breath and stared at the person on the sea. His figure was so erratic that it was almost impossible to see his figure clearly.
Suddenly, he fell into the water as if he had lost his strength.
Lu Weiyi stretched out his hand and the small green branches instantly wrapped around the person who fell into the water. As he pulled, the person quickly returned to the beach.
The confused man didn't know what was happening and looked around for the reason. Li Qing had already taken off his blindfold and patted his shoulder excitedly, "At least ninety meters. I've never seen you so fast."
“It’s really floating on water”
“It’s like light kung fu.”
Several people surrounded Qi Lin and talked a lot. Qi Lin relaxed for a long time before coming back to his senses, "Really?"
"It can't be more real. Have you used up all your powers? Try again?"
"It's over." Qi Lin pressed his head. He had just used all his strength.
Lu Weiyi threw over a bag of crystal cores and said, "Continue, one hundred meters."
The joy that had just appeared on Qi Lin's face disappeared instantly.
He picked up the crystal core, recovered, and stepped onto the shore again.
Repeat the breakthrough again and again until you can no longer get up, the distance becomes farther and farther, and the results are obvious.
"Break through your own limits." Lu Weiyi looked at everyone around him, "You should understand better. This will all be the case starting tomorrow."
He watched Li Qing commanding his men to take the exhausted Qilin away, and reminded them, "Record the Crystal Core." His crystal core cannot be taken for nothing.
No one can tell whether it is effective or not, but it is obvious that it is torturing.
The people from Teams 3 and 4 grabbed a few people from Team 1 and asked them about the process of improving their superpowers.
"Be content. We are fighting the zombies directly. If you are slow, you will be injured. Have you ever felt the zombie energy entering your body and then being continuously discharged, and continuing to enter and be discharged?" Ning Yuan's face turned cold when he saw Qi Lin's silent resistance, "Starting tomorrow, anyone who dares to resist will have to go to land to fight the zombies. Surviving is a skill, and not surviving is what you deserve. We don't keep idle people here."
The people around who were watching the excitement stood at attention and uttered a thunderous "Yes".
This startled Zhuang Aiyi who was picking up shells on the island. The child stepped into the water and shouted, "Little daddy——".
The tender voice was only a sound after several hundred meters. If Lu Weiyi had not seen his figure and kept paying attention to him, he would definitely not have heard it.
He stretched out the little green branch, tied Zhuang Aiyi up tightly, and lifted him up and pulled him over.
"Ah——" Zhuang Aiyi's scream was heard. Before Zhuang Mingxu reminded him not to tease children like that, he heard the naughty child coming over with a loud laugh, grabbing Lu Weiyi's legs and asking to play again.
"Aren't you afraid, Ai Yi?" Zhuang Mingxu felt that this was not something a child would play.
"Teng Teng often takes Ai Yi out to play, and Ai Yi likes it." The Teng Teng that Zhuang Ai Yi mentioned is Gu Qingji's mutated Ivy.
Now that Gu Qingji has been upgraded to Class A, his thinking has become clearer and he acts like a child. When Gu Qingji occasionally takes Zhuang Aiyi with him, he will play with Zhuang Aiyi.
Zhuang Mingxu's mouth twitched, "They are all careless."
After giving some instructions to the psychic, Lu Weiyi sat on the newly moved recliner and enjoyed the sea breeze. Zhuang Mingxu was reading a report document on the side. On the beach, Meng Xi took Zhuang Aiyi to fly a kite. From time to time, they could hear their giggling, carefree, like everyone's expectation for the future.
**
After ten days of compressed training, all the psychics on the entire island have improved a lot, with the lowest reaching B level, and even five more A levels. Everyone is immersed in a conflicting emotion of tiredness but excitement.
With the continuous improvement of supernatural powers and the full investment of manpower in the construction of the ship channel, the temporary channel was quickly built and opened through joint efforts.
It is 3,200 meters long and consists of 22 ships of different sizes. The different types of ships result in different widths of the channel. The widest part can reach more than 60 meters, and the narrowest part is 30 meters. It looks uneven, but when put together, it forms a huge project.
In addition to the artillery position directly above the North Island Tunnel, there is also a cruise ship halfway through the route. The middle of the cruise ship is hollowed out, leaving room for the upper part.
Normally, the bottom floor is closed, which is equivalent to closing the entire passage, and the room upstairs is set up as the first line of defense.
The gates of the central channel connecting the island to the North Island form the third line of defense.
On the second day of the trial, Lu Weiyi led four combat teams to land and hunt zombies.
Before leaving, Lu Weiyi asked Zhuang Mingxu if he needed to collect supplies, "If I collect them, they may not have much chance to take action."
This was a very Versailles statement. Everyone in the team knew it was the truth and kept silent.
"You collect, and the others hunt zombies, and collect maps of the surrounding areas at the same time." Zhuang Mingxu handed a handmade map he had drawn in advance to Lu Weiyi.
What is marked above is the distribution of some streets along the coast of Pingjin City. This was drawn from an electronic map. I also asked some local soldiers, but the soldiers are away from home all year round during their service, so they are not clear about many things. The map is not detailed either, and some factories and the like are not marked at all, so I can only explore on my own.
"Don't be reckless. We are not familiar with the surrounding area. Safety is the priority," Zhuang Mingxu finally reminded.
Lu Weiyi nodded and said, "Be careful, I will be back within five days." He wanted to bring Zhuang Mingxu back to Kyoto on the agreed date.
"I'll wait for you." Zhuang Mingxu held Lu Weiyi's hand and said goodbye.
Four teams of psychics drove four vehicles, three off-road vehicles and one truck.
A team led the way in front, and Lu Weiyi called Qi Lin over.
In ten days, he was quickly promoted to Class B. He no longer had the initial distrust, and when he saw Lu Weiyi's eager eyes, he wanted to get close to him.
"Pen and paper, draw out all the roads in this area." Lu Weiyi handed him another bag of crystal cores and said, "The consumption team out there will provide them."
Even after hearing the good news, Qi Lin was still not happy. He pointed at the area on the map in disbelief and asked Lu Weiyi, "Captain, this area must be several thousand square meters. My ability is only capable of running 300 meters at best. You won't really let me race with zombies, will you?"
With information from a lifetime, Lu Weiyi sometimes feels that they are simply inflexible. Even if these people are encountering superpowers for the first time, and Zhuang Mingxu in the previous life was also accepting it for the first time, he can design and plan the direction and even moves of superpower derivation for all the superpower users in the team.
Of course, considering that he is the one who benefits from it, he often restrains himself and won't write "you idiot" on his face.
"You will know if you try it." Lu Weiyi did not explain, but reminded, "Pay attention to the stop position, inertia will make you unable to step accurately."
Qi Lin didn't have any emotions this time. He took it over happily without understanding and said, "I will do my best to complete it."
The reason why Lu Weiyi asked him to keep running was to maximize his speed. The most energy-consuming part of speed-related abilities is speed. The faster the speed increases, the faster the energy is consumed. This is the best way to improve abilities.
But when going out, you don't need to go that fast. It's enough as long as you are faster than the zombies. Constant pauses will give the supernatural powers time to buffer and prevent them from being consumed too quickly.
However, considering that some people are more rigid, Lu Weiyi still reminded them, "Just be faster than the zombies, and remember to find a safe place to stop." If you speed too fast and suddenly "brake", inertia will cause you to stop in a place other than the expected place.
"Yes!" Qi Lin stood up straight and saluted.
There is a separate security base in Pingjin City. If they rush in without knowing the situation clearly, they are likely to encounter danger, especially now that the level of zombies is constantly increasing, while humans are upgrading slowly due to the limitations of crystal core energy absorption.
Luring and killing zombies is no longer as easy as it was in Qingyuan. It is now dangerous, but each team needs to practice cooperation to continuously improve their strength in actual combat.
After arriving at the designated area, Qi Lin quickly disappeared with the paper. The group got off the car and found their respective bases, starting their journey to lure and kill zombies.
Lu Weiyi did not join any team anymore. He wandered among several teams, exploring and collecting supplies.
One year after the apocalypse, the supplies in these marginal areas had long been collected, and even some collapsed areas had been emptied of supplies. Lu Weiyi walked around and found nothing except bricks and stones.
He is even more shameless than me.
Lu Weiyi wanted to go to the Pingjin City base to see which team was so powerful and whether they knew Zhuang Mingxu. Otherwise, why would they be so stingy?
With no supplies to collect, Lu Weiyi began to hunt zombies alone. Compared to the others whose superpowers were flying around, Lu Weiyi was holding the small green branch and was purely harvesting.
With the protection of the mental barrier, he moved alone among the zombies as if he was in an empty space. The little green branch without special powers was not noticed by the zombies. It went straight into the eye sockets and took it into the space. The zombies immediately fell to the ground.
The highest level zombies around are A-level zombies, and his own superpowers, which are one level higher, are now in a dimensionality reduction attack, which is one of the reasons why he is eager to upgrade.
"Is this the power of psychic abilities?" Xing Zhou, who is also a psychic, was very excited.
"Come on, you can do it in the future." Li Qing gave a bowl of chicken soup for the soul at the right time.
