Chapter 332: Chen Xiuyue's Broken Finger
Lu Weiyi did not wake up until the next morning. Zhuang Mingxu stayed with him all night, and he immediately noticed any movement.
"Xiaoyi?" he called softly.
Even though the voice was low, everyone in the room looked over.
Xu Sa whispered closer, and saw Lu Weiyi's eyebrows tremble slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were wet in an instant, "... awake?"
Lu Weiyi stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time before returning his gaze to the few people. After a while, he slowly smiled.
"You scared me to death." Xu Sa wanted to hit him on the head, but ended up just tapping it lightly with his hand.
"Brother, brother." Lu Xi knelt at the head of the bed, choking with sobs.
Zhuang Aiyi also looked at him with tears in her eyes with Taotao.
Zhuang Mingxu held his hand, his expression as gentle as ever, "How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head. Apart from feeling a little tired and weak, he didn't feel much.
Knowing that he had woken up, the whole team was very happy. Ning Yuan, who had been busy all night, brought some fish and said he would make soup for him to nourish his body.
"Haven't we eaten the fish there before..." Xu Sa didn't continue, but everyone knew it.
"How can they eat all of them? They have to eat some themselves. The breeding area is quite large, and there are many species of fish in it," Ning Yuan handed it to Zhuang Mingxu who finally survived, "This is a mutant crucian carp. Stewing it into soup will definitely be nutritious."
"This longhair fish is for making sauerkraut, right?" Xu Sa looked through the small bucket he brought back.
"Okay, there are still a few non-mutated fish in there, leave them for Mingxu and Aiyi to eat." After Ning Yuan gave the instructions, he reported to Lu Weiyi about their harvest.
Although Chen Xiuyin was in control of the supplies of a small base, not all of the ordinary people who had entered the city with him stayed in his team. Some of them left. He distributed some supplies at the time. In addition to the consumption over the past six months, he had to exchange some supplies with surrounding bases from time to time for things needed for experiments, so there was not much food.
Even if they don't come, it will take at most two years for the energy to be used up.
Perhaps Shen Xiuyin did not think so far ahead at the beginning, so he did not think of any source of income for the ordinary people who stayed behind, and they have always been in a state of living off their savings.
But he should have had this idea recently, which is why he wanted to research how to control more psychics after seeing Lu Weiyi's situation.
"The food is average, but there are quite a few weapons. He has a lot of crystal cores as well. Together with the zombies we killed, there are tens of thousands of crystal cores alone." Ning Yuan looked happy, "Most of them are high-level, and there are even quite a few A-level ones."
"In addition, his superpower jammer is really useful. No matter what level of zombies, as long as they are within the range of the jammer, their superpowers cannot be used. It's simply bullying. It's a pity that you missed the scene of us killing everyone."
"I think we can bring this thing with us when we go out to hunt zombies in the future. The scene...tsk tsk tsk..." Ning Yuan waved his hand, looking like he had the world under his control, which made Lu Weiyi laugh.
His face was still a little blue. After examining him, Gu Qingyue said that he still needed to recuperate for a period of time, as several cardiac arrests had indeed brought some effects.
Ning Yuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, "You have really suffered this time. We have arrested Chen Xiuyin, you can vent your anger however you want."
"No need. Let him research more jammers. It will be beneficial to both us and the base," said Lu Weiyi.
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became quiet for a moment.
When Zhuang Mingxu took him to climb the ventilation shaft, he was worried that they would miss any message, so the intercom was on, and everyone heard what he said.
No one expected that he was silently planning a way out.
Everyone wanted to ask a few more questions, but felt that it was not appropriate at this time, so Zhuang Mingxu broke the silence, "Ningyuan, go slice the fish and cook it later."
"Oh, okay," Ning Yuan responded and started to get busy with others.
After breakfast, the group prepared to pack up and set off.
Ding You and Bai Shu came over with their children to say goodbye.
"We are not going back to the base, and it is not convenient for you to travel together. If you have nowhere to go in the future, you can go to our Yuebanwan base." Ning Yuan represented everyone and left the address to them. "We have doctors there who can remove the bomb in your heart. Then you will be free."
"I'll take my sister out for a look first, and I'll come to see you guys when I have the chance." Bai Shu said goodbye to a few people and left with Ding You.
Although Ning Yuan allowed them to take whatever supplies they wanted, the two of them, with four hands, did not take anything else except some things for the children.
"What about us? Should we continue?" Ning Yuan looked at Lu Weiyi, but his eyes always inadvertently looked at Zhuang Mingxu.
"Continue," Zhuang Mingxu said. Having come this far, it was impossible for him to leave just because of Lu Weiyi's words.
"Then they..." Ning Yuan pointed at the Shen Xiuyin siblings in the room.
Shen Xiuyue had three fingers broken by Xu Sa. Although Shen Xiuyin was not seriously injured, he looked beaten all over his body. His face was so swollen and bruised that it was unrecognizable.
"Go find his teacher," Lu Weiyi said, and took the two of them into the space.
After turning off the supernatural jammer and using his mental power, the headache came back again and Lu Weiyi couldn't help but frowned.
"Otherwise, we can lock them up on the second floor of the truck. Didn't we raise ducks and chickens next to Lu Xi's laboratory? They have never been demolished. Two people can squeeze in and it won't be a problem." Everyone only vaguely knew that people could enter after Lu Weiyi's space was upgraded to S-level, but there was a limit on the number of people. Seeing him frown, they thought it was too much and it would be uncomfortable, so Xu Sa hurriedly said.
"Okay, I can't stand it anymore. I'll let them out." Lu Weiyi disagreed. They might talk about something in the car at any time, and having outsiders around would require them to be cautious from time to time, which made people feel uneasy.
After the matter was settled, Lu Weiyi gathered up all the supplies they had sorted out before leaving, and the group set out again on their way out.
It was still the original way of guarding, but Antonio used the excuse of hurrying on his way and turned on the supernatural jammer, and the team no longer wasted time fighting with zombies.
When encountering zombies that are surrounding you, the main approach is to leave without staying for too long.
In the small room in the carriage, Lu Weiyi sent Zhuang Mingxu and Taotao into the space. While sorting out the supplies, he also went to check the situation in the laboratory.
He stayed in bed and taught Zhuang Aiyi to write. Zhuang Aiyi curled up in his arms, looking tiny. After writing a few words, he looked up at him.
Lu Weiyi reached out and touched his head, and the child started writing seriously again.
In the space, Zhuang Mingxu arranged the newly collected supplies and sat alone under the peach tree.
Compared to the original peach tree and well, there are many more things here now.
The bird's nest is usually a rattan chair hung directly on the tree, a house built in mid-air by woven branches, with comfortable pillows placed inside.
Zhuang Mingxu was rocking in the rattan chair in silence. Taotao was running between the branches next to him. After a moment, she handed him a fresh peach and said, "Dad, have an eat."
Zhuang Mingxu had heard Lu Weiyi mention the unknown effects of this peach, but he didn't respond and said, "Hide the peach and eat it yourself."
Taotao pouted and thought about it, but didn't force it. She climbed up the tree trunk and came down empty-handed after a while. She sat next to him. When she heard his sigh, she propped up her chin and looked up at him, "Dad, what's wrong?"
"...your father is sick." As if he didn't know who to talk to and was powerless to do anything, Zhuang Mingxu said softly, "His crystal core is cracked...he has a headache all day long..."
It has come to the stage of arranging funeral affairs, and Zhuang Mingxu has no idea how serious the situation is.
"Absorbing Jade"
"What?" Taotao suddenly spoke, and Zhuang Mingxu didn't hear clearly for a moment.
"Absorbing the jade," Taotao repeated, "Taotao absorbed the jade energy and her body recovered."
Zhuang Mingxu frowned and thought for a while. He felt nervous when he remembered that Lu Weiyi said his jade pendant was broken and it was finally repaired by absorbing the jade.
Jade and crystal cores are both things that store energy, and in essence... they are similar.
"Do you know what a crystal core is?" Zhuang Mingxu asked experimentally.
Taotao nodded seriously and said, "Energy storage." He stretched out his hand towards Zhuang Mingxu, and saw a virtual yin-yang protective jade pendant on his white finger.
That was bought by Zhuang Mingxu, so of course he knew it. It was obviously exactly the same. "What is this?"
"Taotao's crystal core," Taotao said in a cocky tone.
Zhuang Mingxu tightened his fingers, "Did it break, too?"
"I'm already well. My father gave me some jade supplements," Taotao said with admiration in her eyes. "My father is very powerful."
"Then can your father's crystal core be cracked by replenishing jade?" Zhuang Mingxu thought it was unlikely, after all, the energy stored in jade and crystal core is not the same.
Taotao was confused for a moment and obviously didn't know either.
Zhuang Mingxu sighed and thought to himself that he was really stupid for asking an ignorant child for his opinion.
Then Taotao on the side took out a peach from somewhere and handed it to Zhuang Mingxu, "Eat Taotao, you will feel better after eating Taotao."
"Hehe" Zhuang Mingxu did not refuse him this time. He put the peach on his body and stood up. His face had become solemn. "Let's go. Take Dad to the laboratory. There are still many things to do."
In the laboratory, everything was the same as before, except that I read about the Shen Xiuyin brothers and sisters.
Li Wenliang was looking at the two people who appeared out of nowhere and didn't know what to do. At that moment, Zhuang Mingxu came out of the room assigned to him holding Taotao.
"Mr. Zhuang? Who are they?" Li Wenliang asked.
"These are Zhuang Mobai's students and researchers. Arrange a few laboratories for them," Zhuang Mingxu said, looking at Shen Xiuyin who was beaten beyond recognition. "You and your sister will live here from now on. I need a supernatural jammer and a shield. You can list all the materials you need."
He said as he looked at Shen Xiuyin and smiled, “If you don’t listen…” He turned his gaze to the curled-up hands of Shen Xiuyue, one of which was missing three fingers.
