Chapter 279 Determination
"Then the captain is not your nephew..." Major Liu hadn't finished speaking when he saw Lu Xiao looking at him with a wicked smile on his face. He paused and took a detour, saying, "Can you help me ask him or just give me some advice?"
"Okay, I'll go back and ask for you, but my nephew has some health problems from saving people, so I don't know when the results will be out."
"We feel relieved when you say this," Brigade Commander Sun quickly replied.
The three of them walked out together, and the two who still didn't understand the whole incident began to ask about the details.
Upon learning that the banker was working with Luo Laoqi and even included people from the Hunter Guild, they were speechless for a moment. They could only say that supernatural powers were indeed fascinating.
"So their people... are they going to be sent back?" asked Brigade Commander Sun.
"Exchange supplies for people," said Lu Xiao, "No one works for free in this world nowadays."
Major Liu and Brigade Commander Sun looked at each other and understood the implication of this statement.
The two did not ask any more questions. When they arrived at the door of the villa, Lu Xiao reminded them, "Take your supplies away as soon as possible. I will take over the power of the banker from now on."
Neither of them was able to fight against Lu Xiao. After a moment of silence, they could only nod.
The villa was still the same as it had been when he had left. Most people had been busy since early in the morning and had not had breakfast yet. They simply set up a big pot in the yard and started cooking a big pot of rice.
When Lu Xiao came back, some people were queuing up for food. Each person had a bowl of stew and two large steamed buns.
Everyone lined up in an orderly manner and greeted Lu Xiao when they saw him come in.
The golden eagle was helping to serve the food. When he saw Lu Xiao hand the spoon in his hand to the person next to him, he took two steps closer and said, "Young Master Lu has a severe headache. He just asked me for two painkillers. Now he is going back to his room to rest."
Lu Xiao nodded and asked, "Have the other members of the only team recovered? Have you asked someone to go over and help check their bodies?"
"They haven't recovered yet and they can't move at the moment. They said they have no strength in their bodies and their abilities have not recovered. The healing psychics have checked their bodies and found no external injuries. It should be caused by the drugs. We are still unsure of the exact ingredients, so we dare not do anything rash."
"Qi Lin fed them some porridge in the morning, but he didn't dare to feed them more. He was not sure whether they had been injected with anesthetics and was worried that they would choke their trachea."
"Okay, I get it. Let's go eat. Have all the brothers below eaten yet?"
"Basically, everyone has eaten. We didn't let our subordinates go out today. Everyone is on high alert in case of any accidents." After reporting his own affairs, the Golden Eagle asked, "Master Xiao, let me send you one portion inside."
"Please send one over." Lu Xiao hasn't been eating well these past few days.
The golden eagle responded and cut in line to get a meal for Lu Xiao. At this time, Cong Qing had already squeezed in beside Lu Xiao.
"Our warehouses have all been taken over by our own people. After counting all the materials inside, there are no major discrepancies. The people below don't know what happened and are asking questions. Some people wanted to contact the banker but were stopped by our people. Some people are privately saying that you want to seize power."
After Cong Qing finished speaking, seeing that Lu Xiao did not respond, he continued, "All the major teams in the Hunter Guild have already started searching for Luo Laoqi's whereabouts..."
"Luo Laoqi just ran away?"
"He must have realized something was wrong. It is said that he left the villa area early in the morning without even taking his daughter with him. He hid alone. Now his daughter is being monitored, and the entire base is searching for news about him."
"Got it. Have someone keep a close eye on him and help search him when necessary." Lu Xiao still felt that it was not reliable to ask people from several teams to come to the only team to get supplies in exchange for people. If so many teams really targeted Lu Weiyi, his ability would not be able to support it, especially when the people in the team had not recovered and could not provide support.
"Okay, got it," Cong Qing responded, and asked, "Should we gather the remaining small forces of the banker?"
Lu Xiao paused and looked over.
Cong Qing explained, "Boss, this is what I think. Now we have to separate from the banker, but in the entire Kyoto base, the banker's power is already weak, and now it is in turmoil. Other forces are eyeing us covetously, and they can't wait to make some trouble and swallow us up at any time. If we don't unite more small teams, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold."
"Especially the small teams below also need to find a big force to rely on. Instead of letting others get the advantage, it is better for them to submit to us directly. We were all a force before, and it will be smoother to cooperate and manage."
Lu Xiao didn't say anything, but Qi Lin, who had been taking care of everyone in the villa hall, suddenly said, "Major General Lu, you can take your men to our base. Our base is full of soldiers and easy to manage. It's located on an island, isolated from the world, and there is no danger of zombie attacks. The area is vast and the resources are abundant. It's much better than fighting for power in this small piece of land in Kyoto."
"Is it really that good?" Lu Xiao said with a smile.
"It's no different from before the end of the world." Qi Lin gave the highest evaluation.
"Let me think about it," Lu Xiao said to Cong Qing.
Cong Qing nodded and went out to do other things.
As soon as Lu Xiao entered the door, the two babies sitting on the floor in the living room immediately looked up at him.
"Uncle"
"Uncle"
A childish voice sounded, and Zhuang Aiyi stood up and ran towards him. After taking two steps, he turned back and picked up Taotao, who was sitting on the ground and crawling up clumsily, and ran towards Lu Xiao again, hitting his thigh like a small cannonball.
Lu Xiao waved his hand and picked up the two children, one inside the other, like a pair of Russian dolls.
"Has Ai Yi had breakfast?" Lu Xiao lowered his voice a few degrees.
"Aiyi has eaten. Aiyi had meat porridge." Zhuang Aiyi straightened his stomach. "My brother also drank the porridge. We are all full."
"Aiyi is so great. He even knows how to take care of his younger brother," Lu Xiao praised. When he saw Taotao looking at him, her dark eyes were particularly beautiful, so he praised, "Taotao is great too."
The two people who received praise were put back on the ground and returned to the Lego pile in the living room.
It was quite pleasant for an adult to play with a child, and they didn't need any adult care at all. Qi Lin only needed to check from time to time that the two were safe. He never thought that children could be so easy to take care of.
Lu Xiao sat down on the sofa. The golden eagle brought in a bowl of food with three steamed buns on the side and placed it in front of Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao picked up the chopsticks and took a bite before thinking, "Has my nephew eaten it?"
"No, the team leader is not feeling well and went back to his room. He told me not to disturb him," Qi Lin said.
In fact, there are still many things to discuss with Lu Weiyi at the moment, but he looked weak and Lu Xiao couldn't say anything else. The current situation in the laboratory was completely dark to them. Fortunately, all forces were busy looking for the culprit and had not yet come to their senses to rescue the missing people.
"Okay, you just work harder. If you need anything, just call them," Lu Xiao said, and then thought for a while and said, "Why don't you all move to our villa? This villa is a bit far from our area, and it's not very convenient to take care of it."
His personnel were transferred back and forth, wasting manpower, and he was also worried that some force would take advantage of the situation and attack Lu Weiyi and his group.
"This...I'll ask the captain later."
"I'll talk to him later." Lu Xiao wiped his mouth after eating, stood up and asked, "Which room is Lu Xi in?"
"I know, uncle, I know." The lively Zhuang Aiyi raised his hand immediately. This time he did not hug Taotao, but directly pulled Taotao and walked towards the stairs tremblingly.
The barefoot child was just standing on the floor. Although the floor had been cleaned temporarily, bloodstains could still be seen in the gaps, which made the child's white and tender feet look even more heartbreaking.
Lu Xiao walked forward, picked up the child, and asked someone to find a pair of shoes for the child.
There are limited rooms on the first floor to accommodate all the patients, so they are all dispersed in their original rooms to prevent invasion by people with special abilities. People with special abilities are standing guard in the corridors and at the doorsteps of the houses to ensure that the people in the beds can be seen at a glance.
Everyone was resting, some were asleep, and some were alert and would glance over when he passed by.
Lu Xiao nodded at them and quietly entered Lu Xi's room. Lu Xi was curled up in the room and sleeping. The child's face was pale after several days of torture.
If Lu Xiao had not seen Lu Weiyi in a more serious condition, he would definitely feel very distressed. But with Lu Weiyi in front of him who was obviously unwell and had to stand up and take responsibility, with the comparison, he immediately felt that his son seemed to be fine.
It was already hot outside at this time. The child was wrapped in a thin quilt and sweated all over his forehead. Lu Xiao reached out to pull his quilt away a little, but as soon as he touched him, Lu Xi shivered all over.
"My father is... a major general in the military. He will kill you..."
"He will definitely come to save me... I want him to kill you..."
Lu Xi grumbled in a crying voice.
Lu Xiao paused and looked up to see that the other person had not woken up yet, as if he was trapped in a nightmare.
"Yes, Dad will save you." Lu Xiao half-knelt on the ground with one leg, patted his son gently to calm him down, and pulled out the quilt calmly.
As he said this, he knew in his heart that if Lu Weiyi had not taken action this time, he would probably have to continue investigating on his own, and he might not be able to wait until the end.
At this time, Lu Xiao felt that he was too lenient in dealing with the banker.
He also realized once again that the power in his hands was still too weak.
Lu Weiyi said that he had a base, but it was obvious that it was at the beginning of construction and all operations were not comprehensive. The number of people alone did not give him an advantage in the surrounding areas. If his geographical location attracted the covetousness of other large bases, it would be hard to say whether he could keep it.
And what about yourself?
Kyoto can't even stand still, let alone provide him with help.
At this moment, Lu Xiao agreed with Cong Qing's words in his heart.
He wants to gather all the power of the banker.
Even...if it's possible...
He also wanted to take down the Hunter Guild team.
This is an opportunity that has come to your doorstep, it just depends on how you make use of it.
After thinking about it, Lu Xiao stood up, carried the two children and quickly went downstairs to find the think tank in the team to analyze the situation.
