Chapter 330 Heart Stops
"Got it...Fuck..." Ning Yuan had just finished replying when he heard a scream from his other side. He didn't know what had happened.
"Can Lu Weiyi directly remove the bomb from his body?" Someone asked as the jammer was turned off and everyone's superpowers were restored.
Zhuang Mingxu looked at Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi shook his head, "It's stuck in the flesh." The skin near the bomb kept swelling, wrapping the entire bomb. If it was removed, the flesh would definitely be taken away with it. Without a healing psychic, even a slight loss in the heart position could be life-threatening.
"The level of zombies here is very high. We are not at an advantage if we turn on the jammer," Li Zhuang suddenly said.
After unlocking the jammer, Antonio jumped directly from a ventilation vent in the hall. In the pool next to him was a pool of mutant jellyfish, whose figures looked like ghosts against the dark blue light.
The metal throwing knife reappeared in his hand, and just when he thought he could kill again, the zombies in the Jellyfish House threw all kinds of superpowers at him, while another zombie ran towards him.
"They are all psychics from the previous base. After being infected and turned into zombies, they still carry their superpowers from their previous lives. Moreover... the doctor has collected crystal cores before, and I'm afraid he used them to feed them." Bai Shu's voice came through the intercom.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier--" For the first time, Antonio felt that the flying knife he controlled was somewhat out of control. It was obvious that there was a metal-type mutant who was trying to snatch control from him.
You can imagine how powerful these zombies are since they can snatch control from S-level psychics.
"I just recognized them," Bai Shu apologized, "the explosion attracted zombies around, I can only take Dean to the roof, you guys try to come up."
After Zhuang Mingxu outlined the location of the entire aquarium in his mind, he gave the order, "We are not at an advantage, you guys hide quickly. In fifteen seconds, I will activate the supernatural jammer."
Antonio below also had a very hard time holding on for more than ten seconds, especially when there were so many zombies with special powers. He was quickly covered with wounds, and the blood further stimulated the zombies' ferocity. They desperately gathered around Antonio, all wanting to get a piece of the pie.
"Time's up." As Zhuang Mingxu finished his words, he turned on the supernatural jammer again, and then fired a gun at Antonio, giving him a chance to catch his breath.
Antonio reacted quickly and climbed back up the ventilation duct.
"Li Zhuang, how are things over there?" Zhuang Mingxu asked, pulling Lu Weiyi and crawling quickly towards the ventilation shaft.
"It's no big deal. I took my men to hide in their weapons room, which contains many heavy weapons." Li Zhuang's voice remained steady.
"It can't be used for the time being, be careful of collapse," Zhuang Mingxu reminded, "I'm going to climb up to the roof through the ventilation shaft with Lu Weiyi. We'll pass by the penguin house in the middle. There doesn't seem to be any pipes on top. Can you use your supernatural power to help build a passage?"
"Okay," Li Zhuang replied after a moment, "estimated at fifty meters, two minutes."
"Be ready, I'm going to turn off the jammer. Be careful of the zombies, they have very strong powers," Antonio reminded, helping Zhuang Mingxu to push Lu Weiyi forward from time to time.
The three of them climbed up quickly in the narrow corridor. After a while, Li Zhuang informed them that it was okay and Antonio pressed the close button again.
Zhuang Mingxu took the opportunity to take out a necessary rope from the space and left some weapons for Antonio.
As everyone recovered their superpowers, the zombies below also recovered their superpowers. They couldn't see the people crawling above their heads, but they could feel the breath of living flesh and blood. The superpowers who couldn't catch people began to use all kinds of superpowers against the wall.
Among them, there was an earth-type mutant = a zombie who softened the wall, and Antonio, who was left behind, almost fell down.
"FUCK!" Antonio managed to hold onto the wall and barely avoid falling into the pile of zombies, but a zombie stretched out a hand to grab his ankle and lifted him up.
"Go first," Antonio said to Zhuang Mingxu who turned around to look at him, and kicked towards the zombie that was being held tightly with his other foot.
"Take care." Zhuang Mingxu didn't have time to waste time with him, so he turned around and pulled Lu Weiyi forward.
As soon as two minutes were up, Li Zhuang's channel was completed and Zhuang Mingxu had also arrived here.
"Liu Yang and I took the flesh and blood of ordinary people and scattered around to attract the zombies to leave the ventilation shaft. The distance over there is too far. My special energy can't help you build stairs. You can only climb up by yourself." Li Zhuang finished speaking, thinking of his legs that had just recovered, "How about I take over?"
"No, thank you." The passage built by Li Zhuang was wider than the ventilation duct, so Zhuang Mingxu could walk while squatting, which made his speed a bit faster.
Moreover, if Li Zhuang wanted to get closer to the ventilation shaft, he would have to take a detour, so Zhuang Mingxu didn't waste that time.
He turned around to look at Lu Weiyi, who was trying hard to keep his eyes open but couldn't focus, "Xiaoyi, hold on, we'll be there soon."
When Lu Weiyi heard his voice, he bit the tip of his tongue slightly to force himself to be more sober.
Zhuang Mingxu in front of him tied Lu Weiyi tightly to himself with a rope. Looking up, the distance of dozens of meters was not very high.
"Bai Shudian, are you guys here yet?"
"I haven't brought anyone with me, we'll be there soon." Gunshots were heard over the intercom, probably someone was clearing the way for them.
"Speed!" Zhuang Mingxu stretched his legs and feet, hooked his arms and feet onto the wall, and moved up little by little.
A distance of tens of meters...
In the past, it only took him a dozen seconds, but now it seemed like a distant thing in his sky, out of reach.
Lu Weiyi rested his head on Zhuang Mingxu's shoulder. He could hear his gentle breathing, as if he could disappear at any time.
"Xiaoyi, don't sleep." Zhuang Mingxu panted and pressed hard against the wall with both hands to support the two of them from falling down.
Lu Weiyi didn't say anything. After a while, Zhuang Mingxu felt a pair of hands around his waist.
It's so light that you can't even notice it if you don't look carefully.
"My crystal core has a problem," Lu Weiyi said softly, intermittently, as if he couldn't speak clearly, "I originally..."
"I plan to go back from Cangnan and tell you... that I have developed the weapon. The team will take care of you for my sake."
Zhuang Mingxu felt a sour feeling in his throat and his vision became blurred, "Xiaoyi! Don't talk."
A hoarse voice came out of his mouth, and he climbed up with even greater force.
"As long as you have supplies in the jade pendant, you will have strength and a foothold." Lu Weiyi's thoughts had become unclear. He had nearly died several times in one day, which had made him numb to the pain in his heart.
"In this life, I want to die first"
"I don't want to be left behind"
'It's so painful'
Lu Weiyi recalled how he felt in his previous life after he learned about Zhuang Mingxu's death, the feeling of being abandoned by the whole world, with no one to rely on and no one to depend on.
Zhuang Mingxu didn't say a word. He clenched his teeth tightly. His hands that were supporting the wall were soaked with blood. The two of them slid down a section unconsciously, but he stopped them with his forearm and moved up again.
Lu Weiyi looked at the profile of the person in front of him. He has always been so tough, with an indomitable spirit in his bones. He wondered how such an outlier could appear in a place like Zhuangjia.
He wanted to wipe the sweat from his temples, but he was too weak to do so and could only lean in and kiss him.
The bitten lips were wet with salty sweat, with a slight stinging pain and a familiar unique taste.
That was the smell that accompanied him day and night in both of his lives.
He thought of the question Li Zhuang once asked him, Do you love him?
Lu Weiyi felt that he couldn't say for sure whether he loved her or not at this moment, but he was willing to live and die with this person, and was also willing to pave a peaceful path for him for the rest of his life before he died.
"Zhuang Mingxu, you..." Lu Weiyi wanted to say, "Please die with me," but when he thought of the obedient little boy who called him dad, he softened his heart again.
The two people who had no family died, and he was left without any relatives.
"Do you remember," Lu Weiyi paused for a long time and said softly, "raising a child."
Zhuang Mingxu didn't say a word, but just tried his best to climb up.
"Hurry up, here, here..." There were constant gunshots and explosions around. On the roof, Qi Lin and Gu Qingyue looked at Zhuang Mingxu who was already in front of them and grabbed his arm, which had been ground into a pulp.
On the other side, Bai Shu and Dean reached out to grab Lu Weiyi from his back.
At this moment, Zhuang Mingxu felt the head on his shoulder suddenly sink, as if it had lost support. Although he leaned on it very lightly, it felt like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.
Zhuang Mingxu's eyes widened and his body stiffened as he let them drag the two men up.
"Dean, hurry up!" Qi Lin shouted, and Dean had quickly input his supernatural powers into Lu Weiyi's body.
With a steady stream of repair energy entering his body, Dean could clearly feel that the position of his heart had returned to normal, but Lu Weiyi still had no reaction.
His face was pale and his trembling hands touched Lu Weiyi's breath.
He trembled all over, looked at others helplessly, and dared not say a word.
No one spoke at this time. Qi Lin quickly took the man off Zhuang Mingxu's back and laid him flat on the ground.
"Xiao Yi?" Zhuang Mingxu wanted to force a smile, but his smile was uglier than crying.
"Don't worry, there is hope," Gu Qingyue said loudly to Zhuang Mingxu, "Where are the medical equipment? Prepare the defibrillator, quick, four minutes, the golden four minutes!"
"Instruments, instruments!" Zhuang Mingxu murmured a few words.
All their medical equipment is in Lu Weiyi's space, Lu Xi's space is full of his scientific research equipment, and Dean and Zhuang Mingxu's spaces are filled with weapons and food.
"There is one in the doctor's laboratory," said Bai Shu.
"I'm going to clean up the zombies in the lab," said Antonio.
"I'll go to the Penguin House," said Li Zhuang.
"Let's go to the jellyfish museum," said Liu Yang.
"I've brought people here too," Ning Yuan said.
"Turn off the supernatural power blocker, I'll go get it." Qi Lin's eyes were red, he turned around and slid down the ventilation duct.
"I'll go with him," Bai Shu followed him down.
Gu Qingyue continued to press on his chest, and Dean's supernatural power also roamed through Lu Weiyi's body again and again, but he just didn't respond.
Dean's tears were streaming down his face, but he didn't dare make a sound, for fear of upsetting Zhuang Mingxu, whose eyes were already red.
