Chapter 285: Besieged
Lin Mo's eyes silently moved around the few people who could move. Zhuang Mingxu looked like a big boss even when he was sitting in a wheelchair. Xu Yi wanted to cross his arms and write "you bunch of mortals" on his face all the time. As for the other Dean...
Lin Mo looked at Antonio's bulging arm muscles and silently withdrew his gaze, "I think you feed him very well, really."
Qi Lin laughed without giving any face.
Dean had already brought a bowl of porridge and sat on Antonio. The two of them took turns eating and ate lovingly.
When Xu Sa saw Xu Yi holding his chest and was about to give him a way out, he saw Li Zhuang next to him looking at Xu Yi with a smile on his face.
Xu Yi froze unconsciously, picked up a bowl of porridge and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
She looked like a young wife who had been wronged, and Xu Sa was very surprised.
"No need, please help me bring it to me, Dr. Xu." Li Zhuang looked unusually polite, and even his smile was very friendly.
But Xu Yi is extremely well-behaved.
Xu Sa suspected that there was something going on between them, but when he met Li Zhuang's evil smile that seemed to be welded on his face, he silently pretended that he saw nothing and turned to look at Liu Rui who had fallen to the ground, "Can you do it?"
Liu Rui sat on the ground with his head facing a bowl of porridge, holding a spoon in his hand, which kept shaking, giving people the feeling of having senile epilepsy. He slowly scooped a mouthful into his mouth and nodded, "Okay...Okay, I...I...feed you."
His strong will despite his disability was clearly revealed, and Xu Sa felt embarrassed that he could dig out a large villa with his feet.
Zhuang Mingxu had already brought out the stewed dishes and added a spoonful into several people's bowls. "I stewed some dishes because I was worried that you might not be able to digest them well. I'll see if I can ask the people in the laboratory about your situation in the afternoon. Try to eat something nutritious at night."
He picked up a bowl and was about to feed Lu Xi, when he saw Zhuang Aiyi running over with his own small bowl, looking up and saying sweetly, "Uncle, Aiyi will feed you."
Taotao, who was even smaller than him, followed him like a follower. She couldn't even hold her own bowl steadily, but she imitated him and said, "Taotao, feed me too."
"Thank you Aiyi, Aiyi is awesome." Lu Xi happily accepted the food from his nephew.
Zhuang Mingxu had no choice but to turn to the Gu Qingyue brothers, took a look at them, and walked towards Gu Qingyue first, "Respect the elderly and love the young, you go first. It's not convenient to go outside to find help now, so everyone just put up with it."
"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Zhuang." Gu Qingyue's physical condition was not outstanding among the crowd, and his recovery was not as good as others, so he did not bother to be polite.
Although he was just making do, compared to the clumsiness of others, Zhuang Mingxu was much more skilled than others.
"Brother Zhuang, you have to say, the meal you cooked is quite delicious. I never heard that you can cook before." Lin Mo and a few others were sitting next to Qi Lin. He held a small stainless steel basin and sat among them. Everyone took a bite and no one looked down on anyone else.
While eating, he did not forget to talk to Zhuang Mingxu.
"Did Mingxu make this? I told you that your craftsmanship couldn't improve so quickly," said Liu Yang, who came out last.
Qi Lin didn't respond to him, but immediately stuffed the porridge that was supposed to be fed to him into Lin Mo's mouth.
"Are you still thinking about me cooking for you in a wheelchair?" Zhuang Mingxu said with a smile.
Qi Lin thought about his previous situation and felt that it was indeed inconvenient.
However, Zhuang Mingxu would never have said this before. There was always a thin layer of separation between him and the only team member who had been through life and death with him for more than a year. Until his leg healed, he has become a much more cheerful person.
"Our Mingxu has children at home," Ning Yuanyi said happily.
Everyone thought they were talking about Zhuang Aiyi, and then they heard Ning Yuan say, "He is the typical dad-like boyfriend."
"What is a daddy boyfriend?" Several straight men looked at each other.
It was the internet celebrity Gu Qingji who coughed awkwardly and explained, "A boyfriend who is like a father."
There was a burst of laughter in the living room.
After some twists and turns, the atmosphere between them became more harmonious.
After the meal, Zhuang Mingxu saw that they were in good spirits, so he told them about their current situation and future plans.
"Our health is in this condition now. It's too unsafe to stay here. Why don't we discuss it with Major General Lu and have him take his men and leave the Kyoto base and come to our place." Ning Yuan felt that it was not reliable to stay.
"The Zheng family has already set their sights on us. If we leave now, we'll be easily sniped from outside the base," Antonio disagreed with Ning Yuan's words, "If we bring more people, they will take away more resources and supplies, which will only speed up their actions."
"What if we leave quietly?" Xu Sa asked.
Zhuang Mingxu pointed at himself, Qi Lin, and Xu Yi in turn, "What is the probability that the three of us can bring you back to the base safely?"
After these words were spoken, no one said anything for a while.
The reason they had a smooth journey before was because of their powerful superpowers, and no major problems occurred due to teamwork, but there were still a few thrilling moments. When returning home, all the combatants encountered problems, and any gregarious mutant animals were enough to take their lives.
Just as everyone was thinking, the door of the bedroom on the first floor opened. Lu Weiyi leaned against the door frame and looked over with a cold gaze, "It's okay, I will take you back."
Zhuang Mingxu stood up and strode over to place the exhausted Lu Weiyi on the sofa. "How do you feel? Do you still have a headache?"
"Much better," Lu Weiyi said, taking the water he handed over and taking a sip.
"If all the forces in Zhengjiaji target us, even if my uncle's forces leave with us, the base will inevitably hunt us down. They are targeting our supplies. In more serious cases, when we return to the base, we may even bring them all back. At that time, they may target the base that we have worked so hard to build." Lu Weiyi looked at everyone and spoke softly, which made him look much weaker.
Coupled with his already youthful face, he looks even less like a team leader.
Having visited so many bases, I found that the security of their base is incomparable to other bases. I didn’t feel it before because the base was isolated from the world, but now that I have arrived at the Kyoto base, I can hear people say from time to time that a certain base has been attacked by zombies again.
And this situation could not happen at their base.
"It's better to just stop them from having this thought and make them never dare to have this thought again." Lu Weiyi's light and indifferent voice carried a cold and murderous tone.
Kyoto Base is one of the few bases close to Yueban Bay, and the supply points that are a little further away will overlap.
Although the bases cannot reach production capacity now, there is no shortage. If a large number of zombies or mutated animals appear later, who can guarantee that they will not move to a safer place? At that time, the struggle between the bases will be imminent.
Their base does not have an advantage in terms of numbers, and there are even quite a few ordinary people, so Lu Weiyi has to make preparations in advance.
"You guys rest first, don't worry about anything else." Lu Weiyi didn't explain much, "I will take you away someday."
"Actually... I don't mind dying here." Xu Sa shrugged and held Liu Rui's hand beside him tightly, "Don't take everything on yourself."
"Yeah... yeah, that's right." As long as Liu Rui is with Xu Sa, nothing else matters to him.
"That's right. We are all in the same team. We are older than you. How can we let you take on everything?" Gu Qingyue spoke like an older brother.
Gu Qingji didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Yes, captain, as long as we are together, life and death don't matter." Qi Lin glanced at the people around him and punched them on the shoulder.
Although they spoke passionately, Lu Weiyi was not moved at all. He thought for a while and said, "I've thought about the scene of death."
Everyone fell silent and listened to him, "It could be that he died when he was surrounded by zombies and he was using up his last bit of strength; it could be that his base was attacked and he was protecting his home; it could also be that he was attacked by mutant animals and he was fighting hard against them."
"But it must have been after hard struggle, and it is definitely not the case that I am at the mercy of others now."
Yes, in their current situation, there is no room for resistance at all. It would be quite shameful if they died here.
It was a waste of the supernatural powers that everyone had worked so hard to gain.
"Let's discuss it first and try to find a more appropriate solution." Zhuang Mingxu also didn't think it was appropriate to put all the responsibility on Lu Weiyi alone.
All he could do was to put these people into space at the critical moment, or use his supernatural powers.
But given his current situation, Zhuang Mingxu didn't want him to use his supernatural powers unless he had no other choice. He glanced at Lu Weiyi's brows with concern.
He brought over a bowl of porridge and without letting Lu Weiyi do it, he fed him spoonful by spoonful, then looked at the others and said.
"I have agreed with Major General Lu that I will be the one to persuade the Zhao family. I have already informed Zhao Qiang of the meeting and will try to prevent them from cooperating with the Zheng family. Major General Lu said he will take care of the rest," said Zhuang Mingxu.
"How do you want to convince him?" Lu Weiyi leaned on the sofa, slowly eating the porridge that was fed to him, and watched Zhuang Mingxu wipe the corner of his mouth skillfully.
The way he looked was obvious, he was used to being served.
"Zhao Qiang absorbed too many crystal cores. It is said that his level is similar to theirs. He almost died the last time he upgraded. Now he is acquiring plant crystal cores at all costs," Zhuang Mingxu explained.
"Do you want to sell him the plant crystal core?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"No, he can just detain all of us, and then we'll have to hand over as many plant crystal cores as we can." Zhuang Mingxu paused and said, "Can we just promise to help him upgrade safely?"
"...Okay." Although it consumes a lot, it is worth it at this time.
But even so, the pressure on Lu Xiao is still a bit great, because Lu Weiyi knows the power of the Zheng family.
The number of people under Lu Xiao's command alone is estimated to be less than one-third of the other side, and when combined with other forces he has united, he does not have any advantage at all.
He chewed his food slowly, trying to recall what happened at this stage in his previous life, hoping to get some useful information.
After a long while, Lu Weiyi smiled, his eyebrows curved, and he said with a relaxed look, "I have a solution."
