Chapter 250: Stand Up
"Brother, you really don't care?"
Zhuang Mingwu chattered on for a long time and then questioned.
Zhuang Mingxu looked up at him with a calm gaze, "Why should I care? My broken legs? The Zhuang family's illegitimate son can even walk in front of me, what qualifications do I have to care about others?"
"Besides, Mingwu, you are not a child anymore. Go back and ask your grandfather, does he have the nerve to ask others to consider the banker? You should be grateful if Xiaoyi doesn't take the opportunity to step on the banker."
Zhuang Mingxu directly exposed the superficial harmony. Zhuang Ming hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a word.
Looking at his cousin who was so careless at this age, Zhuang Mingxu sighed, "Are you going to use it when you level up?"
"......Well" Zhuang Mingwu sat aside dejectedly, "In order to become stronger, I absorbed too many zombie crystal cores, so the upgrade is bound to fail."
"Brother, those who failed were fried into meat paste, I'm scared." Zhuang Mingwu looked up at Zhuang Mingxu with helplessness in his eyes.
When he was young, the family had an eldest child who was responsible for important responsibilities, and there was no need for a second child who was too outstanding. Zhuang Mingwu was never deliberately cultivated. When he grew up, Zhuang Mingwen got into an accident and his health was ruined, and Zhuang Mingxu retired from the army, and the family needed him to support it.
Zhuang Mingwu, who had already grown up, could not accept the darkness that he faced in his high position, so he called him in the middle of the night and cried, asking him why.
He couldn't bear the burden of the family that was soaked in blood and turned black, but he had to hold it up.
Zhuang Mingxu reached out and touched Zhuang Mingwu's head, "How much jade can you take out of your family?"
"I tried to increase the weight to 7,000 kilograms, but my dad stopped me," Zhuang Mingwu said.
"Then it's 7,000 kilograms. There's a plant crystal core in the team. I'll help you use it." Zhuang Mingxu said, and Zhuang Mingwu's eyes lit up instantly, "But——"
"Mingwu, whether your family is willing to pay for you is up to you."
"If you can produce it, I will help you negotiate. If you can't, don't say anything. I don't even have a say at home in this state, let alone in the team. Don't make things difficult for me."
Zhuang Mingwu nodded like a puppy and said, "Brother, I will go back and tell Dad now."
He hurried out the door without ever asking about his leg.

After Liu Ma left, Lu Weiyi went upstairs to find Xu Yi.
With Xu Yi's special abilities, it would not be a problem for Zhuang Mingxu to recover completely from his injuries.
"It's time for dinner." There was a knock on the door, and it was Xu Yi who came to open the door, looking like he hadn't slept well.
Li Zhuang leaned against the windowsill, wiping his triangular knife in his hand, with a half-smile on his lips.
"You're like a pervert," Lu Weiyi said with disgust.
"If you don't do this, you are not worthy of our team." Li Zhuang stood up and followed Xu Yi downstairs.
"Zhuang Mingxu had surgery last night, and I need you to treat him first," Lu Weiyi said bluntly.
Xu Yi nodded.
Worried that this malicious person would do something bad at this critical juncture, Lu Weiyi looked at the breakfast prepared on the dining table in the living room.
"Do you like tofu pudding?"
Xu Yi followed his gaze and nodded, then saw a basin on the table disappear instantly.
Xu Yi rubbed his eyes and looked around. Lu Weiyi beside him looked over calmly, holding a steaming pot in his hand. The aroma was gushing out from the close distance.
Lu Weiyi stretched out his hand and disappeared again, appearing at a dining table in the distance. Several people holding spoons were arguing, asking if they could eat properly.
Xu Yi didn't know what this meant, so he turned to look at Lu Weiyi, and heard Lu Weiyi ask calmly, "Do you think it's possible that a person's brain could be suddenly moved to another place, and that they could die silently?"
Li Zhuang behind him made a "puff" sound, and Xu Yi's face turned pale instantly.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I will never target you, retaliate against you, or go against you again. Do you think it's fun to do this every day?" Xu Yi was so angry that his eyes turned red. He used to be a bad guy, but he had many lackeys around him. He was not often suppressed by others, and every time it was related to Lu Weiyi. "I am so unlucky to meet you. If you can't do it, just kill me."
"No, you are still useful." Lu Weiyi took him to Zhuang Mingxu's bedroom, "He just had surgery last night."
Lifting the quilt to reveal Zhuang Mingxu's tightly bandaged legs, Lu Weiyi looked at Xu Yi beside him and warned him for the last time, "Xu Yi, don't do anything that you will regret. You haven't experienced enough of the good days after getting rid of the Xu family. You don't want to experience the consequences."
Xu Yi glared at Lu Weiyi fiercely, then turned around and hit Zhuang Mingxu's knee, his supernatural powers surging out continuously.
Zhuang Mingxu nodded at the alert Lu Weiyi.
Ten minutes later, Xu Yi sat down on the ground exhausted. "It's all fixed." He looked up at Lu Weiyi. "When will you return my arm to me?"
"Wait until you come back to the base with me," Lu Weiyi said.
He took a pair of scissors and cut off the gauze wrapped around his knee, revealing the intact knee inside. He reached out and touched it gently, "How is it?"
Zhuang Mingxu turned his body, let his lower body droop off the bed, and tried to bend. The once stiff parts became smooth.
He opened his mouth, murmured for a long time, pursed his lips, and stepped on the ground.
As he gradually exerted strength, he stood up.
Zhuang Mingxu's eyes were red. He reached out and hugged Lu Weiyi in front of him, his voice hoarse and choked, "I stood up."
"I stood up."
He thought he would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, but now he is standing up.
The group of people waiting at the door to see the results applauded and congratulated continuously.
"Thank you everyone." Zhuang Mingxu hadn't walked for a long time. He stood for a while and then sat back on the bed.
Lu Weiyi brought him breakfast and ate with him, discussing whether to go back to the hospital directly for examination or go later.
"Go ahead, I can't wait to do rehabilitation," Zhuang Mingxu said excitedly.

After dinner, Uncle Zhou sent a few people to help. Some of them accompanied Xu Sa to sell seafood, some of them helped Zhou Nan look for relatives, and he himself took Zhuang Mingxu to the hospital.
"Ning Yuan, don't forget Qin Jin? Ask someone to find out about him too." Zhuang Mingxu reminded Ning Yuan before leaving.
Qin Jin is Zhuang Mingxu's comrade-in-arms. The three of them retired from the army together and then started a business together. Before the end of the world, Qin Jin was on a business trip and lost contact. The city he was in has been destroyed. The nearest Kyoto base is also the most likely place to find news about him.
"Don't worry, I've already told them," Ning Yuan patted Zhuang Mingxu's shoulder, "Go get the check-up with peace of mind."
Zhuang Mingxu nodded and left with peace of mind.
He had just been discharged from the hospital in the morning and now he returned. Uncle Zhou thought that there was a problem with the operation. Since Zhuang Mingxu didn't say anything, he didn't ask in detail.
The surgeon who was still in charge, Zhuang Mingxu, thought something went wrong when he saw them come in, until Lu Weiyi rolled up his trouser legs, revealing his intact knee. "Have you repaired it completely?"
Zhou Bo was stunned for a moment, his eyes wandering between the two of them, as if thinking about something.
"Yes," Zhuang Mingxu said with a smile, "Please check it out, doctor, and arrange rehabilitation for me. I haven't walked for a year."
"Okay," Dr. Zhang nodded calmly, took out a row of tools from the cabinet on his desk, and started knocking on Zhuang Mingxu's legs.
Half an hour later, Doctor Zhang stood up and smiled, "It seems that your healing psychics are very professional. Congratulations, you are completely recovered and can start the rehabilitation phase next."
It seems that Dean is really studying hard.
Lu Weiyi decided to give him a reward when he returned.
On the way back, Lu Weiyi felt relaxed all over. The things that had been weighing on his mind were resolved, as if most of the things in his life had been resolved.
They returned to the room and closed the door, then sat on the bed. Zhuang Mingxu kept turning his knees as if he was playing with a toy that he couldn't let go of. Lu Weiyi, standing beside him, had a smile on his lips and joy in his eyes.
"Are you very happy?" Zhuang Mingxu asked with a smile.
"Are you unhappy?" Lu Weiyi asked deliberately.
"Happy" Zhuang Mingxu couldn't help but laugh. Thinking about the past year, he pulled Lu Weiyi and hugged him in his chest, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's worth it" to have results, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it, the most frightening thing is hopelessness.

At the base market, Xu Sa, Gu Qingji and Gu Qingyue drove a truck loaded with freezers and stopped at the downtown area.
Gu Qingji and Gu Qingyue placed the board with the written information on the simple table, and Xu Sa took a big loudspeaker and turned it on.
"Don't miss it if you pass by. People from all over the world should come and have a look. Seafood, fresh seafood, all kinds of mutated seafood, try them and see them."
“Bath-basin-sized swimming crab”
"Arm-long mantis shrimp"
"A giant squid with ten legs"
"Blackfish, sea bass, flounder"
"Clams, oysters and scallops"
…
Xu Sa was able to take on three people at once, and his words were never repeated, making the two Gu brothers behind him look like decorations, not to mention the two younger brothers who were arranged to help.
Since the end of the world, zombies are rampant. Without some strength, you can't even leave the base, let alone specialize in logistics business. Fresh seafood is even scarcer.
Xu Sa set the price after inquiring about the situation at the base. The price ranges from 5 to 15 crystal cores. It doesn't look cheap, but compared to its rarity, it is nothing.
Kyoto is a place where powerful people used to rule the city, but now there are rich people everywhere. They may not necessarily be the strongest people with special abilities, but those who can stand firm must have abundant supplies or crystal cores.
After a while, a circle of people gathered around. Gu Qingji and Gu Qingyue each had two freezers in front of them, which contained all kinds of seafood that had been caught and frozen immediately, without even any sea water. The two guys helped weigh and pack the food, and they never stopped once they started working. Xu Sa even went back to replenish the food several times.
He was busy generating revenue and counting crystal cores, so naturally he had no energy to notice the person who was staring at him with surprise and then disappeared around the corner in an instant.
While all members of the only team were busy, the situation at the dealer was a different one.
Zhuang Mingwu pestered Zhuang Chengye for the entire morning but failed to get him to agree to exchange the jade for the crystal core. Zhuang Chengye refused to give it to him but just said that he didn't have that much.
Until Zhuang Mingwu got angry and went out, Zhuang Mingwen, with a sick look on his face, pointed at him, Zhuang Chengli and Old Man Zhuang downstairs, hinting who could be the key person.
Between improving his strength and putting Zhuang Mingxu in a difficult position, Zhuang Mingwu chose the former without hesitation.
