Chapter 342 Contact
The woman smiled good-naturedly and said, "I used to be an obstetrician and gynecologist, so I'm not sure about this, but many people here have inhaled that kind of floral scent, and I made my judgment based on everyone's reactions. At least there's no danger to life, they just fell into a deep sleep."
When Liu Rui heard this, he felt guilty and worried - they had been making a fuss for most of the night, and he felt it was his own problem.
Reaching out to push aside Xu Sa's messy hair, he sat cross-legged on the ground and hugged her in his arms.
Unable to diagnose anything, Qi Lin simply started chatting with Song Qin and asked about their situation.
According to Song Qin, the laboratory here has only three floors, making it the smallest of the several laboratories. It also has the fewest experimental instruments. In order to accommodate people, the laboratory has even been turned into a living room.
There are a few scientific researchers, but without the conditions, they can't do any research at all.
"Have they ever thought about visiting other laboratories?" Qi Lin asked.
"How could there not be any? But according to our inference, the largest laboratory has changed due to the changes in the mountain's strata, and it is right under the roots of the mutant plants. The entrance cannot be found, and the other one is completely buried under the ruins. If we want to enter, we need to clear the ruins first." Song Qin sighed, his face full of worry, "We don't have the manpower and resources to do it."
"What about the armory?" Qi Lin asked casually.
"It is said that it is there, but the strata here have changed so much that they cannot determine its location." Song Qin did not hide anything.
"How do you know all this?" Qi Lin asked doubtfully.
Song Qin smiled and said, "My husband is a scientific researcher here. I was trapped here just to see him." When she said this, a look of sadness appeared on her face, "I don't know if my son is still alive."
Judging from her age, the child should not be very old. Qi Lin did not say those useless wishes, but instead asked about her lover's situation.
Song Qin's lover is Zhong Qi, whose position in the research institute is second only to Zhao Changming. Unfortunately, the two of them don't get along very well.
Before the apocalypse, units would be divided into small groups, let alone after the apocalypse, especially since Zhao Changming himself had awakened metal-related supernatural powers, while Zhong Qi was just an ordinary person and his status in the research institute was becoming increasingly worse than before.
If Song Qin had not awakened the wood-related supernatural power and had the ability to plant, the couple would probably have been marginalized.
Song Qin sighed, looked at Qi Lin, and asked hesitantly, "Can we leave?"
"Of course, our captain and deputy captain are outside. Their abilities are very powerful and they will leave sooner or later." Qi Lin was very confident in Lu Weiyi.
"That's really great." Seeing his affirmative expression, Song Qin began to feel hopeful. She immediately told Qi Lin about some of the power divisions among the research institute's personnel, which allowed him to obtain a lot of useful information from another perspective.
After Zhuang Mingxu and Zhao Changming had a general understanding of the situation, they did not directly ask whether they could leave, but instead asked about the situation in Kyoto.
He divorced his wife early in his life and raised his two daughters alone. The eldest daughter, Zhao Qingqing, lived with her mother, and the younger daughter, Zhao Qianqian, lived with him.
"We now have our own base. I have been in Kyoto for a few days and I am not clear about the situation there," Zhuang Mingxu said bluntly.
"What about your grandfather and his family?" His wife's family is also in politics, so they are naturally not an ordinary family if they can be said to be related to the Zhuang family by marriage. It's just that they don't have any armed forces, so they may be relatively weak in today's world. If the Zhuang family is powerful, they will probably curry favor with them.
"The banker... is gone," Zhuang Mingxu suppressed his emotions, "They conducted human experiments on their own soldiers and were caught by Major General Lu Xiao. Now they have accepted the invitation of the Flame Team and replaced the original power of the banker."
Zhao Changming sighed, but Zheng Jun, who had been silent, asked, "Who the hell is Lu Xiao?"
"Yes, Major Zheng knows him?" Zhuang Mingxu asked.
"Haha, that's my former instructor." Zheng Jun rarely showed a hearty laugh, thinking that it was a beautiful moment worth remembering.
"My father would definitely like to meet Uncle Zheng too. He said he would come to our base to see me before winter. Then Uncle Zheng and he can have a good drink together," Lu Xi quickly interrupted.
They have never said which faction they belong to before, and now is a good time to speak out.
"Who are you?" Zheng Jun puzzled.
"This is Major General Lu Xiao's son, Lu Xi," Zhuang Mingxu introduced.
"The instructor's son is so grown up now, but why is he not following your father's team? Instead... he is in another base?" Zheng Jun glanced at Zhuang Mingxu and Lu Xi.
"It's a long story," Zhuang Mingxu briefly told him about the situation of Li Qing's soldiers, "most of them are ordinary people. Nowadays, the relationship between ordinary people and people with special powers in many bases outside is very hostile. We are comrades-in-arms, so we don't feel at ease sending them to any base, so in the end we simply set up our own base."
"Fuck, they're really going too far." Zheng Jun clenched his fists and gritted his teeth when he thought about the soldiers who were protecting the people being expelled by their own people.
"You didn't see that when we met them, they were parasitized by a mutant plant, and the plant grew in their bodies as fertilizer. They were a group of strong men..." Zhuang Mingxu continued with a look of reluctance, and his sensational words made Zheng Jun even more angry.
"The person in charge of the base is Major General Lu Xiao's nephew, who is also the captain of our team. He was the one who gave us the news from your side. The situation in Kyoto is complicated now. It just suffered a zombie riot more than half a month ago, with many injured and dead. We can't spare any manpower to come here, so we finally decided to bring you to live in our base." Zhuang Mingxu went straight to the most critical point.
Zheng Jun knew what this meant as soon as he heard it. He thought for a moment and said, "Everyone in our team is very worried about their families..."
"The base will help everyone find their families in the name of the base, which will definitely be more efficient than an individual. Moreover, with the changes in the land nowadays, bases don't even exist in many places. In the absence of smooth communications, it will be troublesome for an individual to find the base," said Zhuang Mingxu.
Zheng Jun didn't say anything, and Zhao Changming didn't respond either. Instead, he asked about leaving.
"We are in contact with the captain. Once the communication is clear, we will discuss how to leave," Ning Yuan continued.
"Then let's wait until we have a plan to leave before we talk about where to go. It's a bit early to talk about it now," said Zhao Changming.
Although Ning Yuan responded with a smile when he heard this, he looked at Zhuang Mingxu and they both understood what he meant - he might not go with them.
Ning Yuan sneered in his heart, thinking that this group of people was a little ignorant of the current situation. Not to mention that there were zombies rampant outside, just the fact that they came thousands of miles to rescue people, how could they be asked to serve in other bases.
The reason for discussing things in a friendly manner is just because we don't want to ruin the relationship. If the other party really doesn't appreciate it, there is no need to coexist peacefully.
"I just heard from Major Zheng that you are short of supplies. I did bring some seeds with me. How about sending a wood-type mutant over to help some of them grow so that we can have a good meal first?" Zhuang Mingxu asked, taking out a bag of rice and several vegetable seeds from the space. There was a mark on them saying "once", which meant that they had only been used to help the seeds grow once.
"Then Uncle Zhao will not be polite to you." Zhao Changming gave some to Zheng Jun, and quickly had someone take the rest away to induce labor.
The entire small laboratory suddenly became bustling with activity, and soon the aroma of rice could be smelled.

After receiving the news from Liu Yang, Lu Weiyi did not dare to delay and hurried out of the village with Li Zhuang. When they arrived at the group, they had already confirmed the safety of the people on both sides, except for the two children of course.
Liu Yang didn't know about the mutant monkeys and thought the children were with them, so he asked about it. Zhuang Mingxu also learned about the disappearance of the two children.
"The mutated plant is a combination of mountain tiger and hypnosis. It covers an area of meters. Its attack method is hypnosis and killing. It can absorb crystal nuclei. Be careful between the eyebrows. I'm not sure if it has the ability." Zhuang Mingxu's voice was intermittent and could not form a complete sentence. Lu Weiyi frowned as he listened.
Liu Yang, on the other hand, had already gotten used to it and kept writing down the information on paper.
After briefly explaining the information here, Zhuang Mingxu finally said, "It's safe here, let's find the children first."
"I know. I'll come find you as soon as possible," Lu Weiyi replied quickly.
The two sides communicated for a few more sentences, and the signal was interrupted again.
Although there were only a few brief sentences, everyone breathed a sigh of relief knowing how tempting it was to be safe. At the moment, the two children - Lu Weiyi turned his head to look at Xia Qiao.
After confirming that they were there to rescue people, the two men were obviously less vigilant.
"Let's go, I'll take you to find the monkey's cave." Xia Qiao looked at the others, "You can go to the village and stay at my house first, but..."
He glanced at the weapon on Lin Tian's shoulder that looked like a mortar or something like that, but there was no sound.
"Don't worry, we were all soldiers before, and we won't attack civilians without reason," Lin Tian said, but he didn't put it away completely. It was obvious that he didn't trust each other.
Cheng Chuan wanted to go along, but was stopped by Xia Qiao, who said, "You stay in the village."
"Go with him." Lu Weiyi knew Cheng Chuan's situation and couldn't leave him with others, otherwise something could easily happen if he wasn't alert.
Cheng Chuan also wanted to test how much Lu Weiyi knew and whether he had seen a situation like his. After all, he had never left since the beginning of the apocalypse. He wondered if there were people like him in the outside world.
Especially since Lu Weiyi had obviously stopped talking before and didn't say everything, if there was someone with bad intentions, it would be even more direct to kill him directly with his supernatural powers, since they couldn't beat the other party anyway.
Thinking of his recent physical condition, his eyes darkened and he stopped Xia Qiao from arguing, "I'll go."
Xia Qiao looked at him worriedly, and Cheng Chuan nodded at him.
Lu Weiyi said directly to Li Zhuang, "I will go with him and come back as soon as possible. You please be careful."
"Okay." Li Zhuang looked thoughtfully between the three people and said nothing.
Lu Weiyi was worried and did not follow them back to the village, but left with Cheng Chuan.
