Chapter 352 Ready to Go
"Home-cooked food is still more delicious." Ning Yuan came out of the kitchen holding a plate, chewing something and speaking vaguely, looking like he had eaten secretly.
At this time, Xi Shi, who was being pulled by Zhuang Aiyi to be introduced to his younger brother, turned around and smiled at them, "Then you should eat more. I prepared a lot knowing you would come back."
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Xi," Lu Xi said flatteringly while helping to place the chopsticks.
"I told you to learn how to cook in advance, but you're stuck like that, right? How are you going to find a partner in the future like this?" Xiong Jie looked like a worried old father.
"I will find a wife who can cook in the future," Ning Yuan immediately retorted.
Xu Sa glanced at Liu Rui bluntly, and asked teasingly, "Partner?"
Liu Rui pursed his lips and smiled, his ears turned red, and he said in a low voice, "I... I will learn."
"Fuck, can you guys please take into consideration the psychological trauma of single guys? It's the end of the world and they still have to eat dog food," Ning Yuan complained, "I've only heard of the beauty trap, this is the first time I've seen the handsome man trap."
"This is only suitable for good-looking people. You...may be a little bit behind." Xu Sa stared at Ning Yuan's face and teased seriously.
"Go to hell with you, I'm a tough guy and I don't rely on my looks to make a living." After Ning Yuan finished cursing, he turned to Dean and encouraged him, "Dean, have you learned anything? Teach your big guy a skill so that he won't have to go hungry when he goes out in the future."
Dean did not accept his suggestion, turned around and handed the chopsticks to Antonio, "It's already the best."
Antonio raised his eyebrows provocatively at Ning Yuan, and happily handed Dean a glass of iced drink.
After everyone sat down, Zhuang Mingxu stood up with a cup of cold tea and said, "Xiaoyi is not feeling well today, so I will say a few words for him."
“In the past year or so, he was able to come here from Qingyuan with me, a disabled person and a child, all thanks to your care. Even this trip to Kyoto was supported by you all. I am now standing here. Here, I would like to thank you all with tea instead of wine.” Zhuang Mingxu toasted everyone.
"We are all brothers, there is no need to be so polite"
"That's right. We went through life and death together, and Lu Weiyi saved us more than once."
"If it weren't for him, we would have died a long time ago and wouldn't have the stable life we have today."
Everyone responded at once, but Zhuang Mingxu continued, "Secondly, I would like to express my apologies to everyone for the many twists and turns that have occurred in Kyoto this time."
"It's all in the past, let's look forward." Several close friends didn't say anything, and finally Antonio responded for everyone.
"Thank you," Zhuang Mingxu raised his glass again, "I hope that with our joint efforts, our base will become better and better in the days to come."
“It’s getting better!”
Everyone at the table raised their glasses and had a lively meal. They then talked about what had happened during this period.
While others could rest, Zhuang Mingxu, who was planning to take over the base's administrative affairs, was working non-stop to understand the current situation of the base.
When Lu Weiyi woke up, the whole villa was quiet.
He pinched his brows and went out, and saw Xi Shi sitting on the floor in the living room, peeling melon seeds for Taotao and listening to Zhuang Aiyi telling stories along the way.
"You're awake. I made some soup for you." Xi Shi stood up immediately when he saw someone coming out. "Mingxu said that you had an operation and haven't had time to recuperate, so your body hasn't recovered well. I asked an old Chinese doctor about medicinal food for postoperative recovery and stewed some soup to restore your vitality. I saw that you've lost weight after going out, so you have to take good care of yourself when you come back..."
He chattered incessantly with the concern that only an elder could show. Lu Weiyi leaned against the door frame and responded, watching him serve the soup.
The soup with the taste of herbs was not tasty. Zhuang Aiyi sat beside him cautiously, looking at him worriedly, and coaxed him, "Little daddy, take your medicine well. Aiyi will give you some candy."
Taotao, who was standing by, also took out her treasured candy and pretended to give it to him.
Lu Weiyi touched the two children's heads and didn't answer.
He is not a person who cannot endure hardship, but having experienced the end of the world, he would like to live a more comfortable life if conditions permit.
When Xi Shi saw that he had gone out, his relationship with the children became much more harmonious, and she was happy for Zhuang Aiyi. With two powerful fathers caring about him, he didn't have to be so cautious and try to please them.
"What about them?"
"Mingxu and Damu went out to resettle the new residents. Wu Yue and Daxiong were called away for matters related to the base. Bai Miao and Li Dongsheng have been busy harvesting the first batch of wheat planted. They go out early and come back late, and they don't have time to come back at noon. Everyone else has gone back to their rooms to rest," Xi Shi said, and told him about the current situation at the base.
Before they left, Li Dongsheng and Bai Miao had already led people to till the land. Although the season is uncertain now, with the assistance of appropriate supernatural powers, there will not be any major problems.
Later, according to the plan left by Zhuang Mingxu, as more and more people came to seek refuge, more and more land was reclaimed, and ordinary people were gathered together to grow crops.
These safely planted seeds will be kept as seeds for the future. Ordinary people don't have special powers, so there is no need to worry about them using their special powers to do anything. They can be used with peace of mind, and it can also solve most of the labor problems.
The psychics were called upon to produce food every day to supply the current consumption of the entire base.
Knowing that things at the base were in good order, Lu Weiyi didn't ask any more questions. Especially since Zhuang Mingxu was obviously going to take over, he felt even more relieved. After dinner, he turned around and went back to his bedroom.
That evening, after Zhuang Mingxu came back, he held a small meeting with Lu Weiyi alone to discuss the future management of the base.
"Before we were away, Wu Yue was in charge of everything, and he told outsiders that you were the base commander. I plan to do the same in the future." As soon as Zhuang Mingxu finished speaking, Lu Weiyi frowned, patted his hands, and continued, "Today I got a rough understanding of these people who came here to seek refuge. There are many promising teams of psychics among them. If an ordinary person like me takes over directly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep them in line."
"It's better to push you to this position from the beginning, and I will handle the daily matters."
As long as he is not asked to deal with trivial matters, Lu Weiyi has no objection to who manages him. Before Lu Weiyi nodded, he heard him continue, "But you must take full control of the base army in your own hands. This is the prerequisite for us to be able to deal with crises in the future."
"What's the meaning?"
"Do you know why the current forces in Kyoto base are all composed of military and police, and the political system can only be dependent on them?" Zhuang Mingxu reminded, "Because they hold the military power in their hands."
Lu Weiyi nodded thoughtfully.
"I discussed with Zheng Jun today about their future destinations, between reallocation to join the base army and building their own team."
Lu Weiyi looked over curiously, and Zhuang Mingxu didn't keep him in suspense, "He chose the former, on the premise that he wanted to have the same treatment as Li Qing and the others, including the upgrades for his psychics."
"There are not many people now, and we will slowly recruit people as the situation gradually stabilizes. Now they will be divided into two parts. One part will be those with strong superpowers who will go out to perform tasks required by the base, and the other part will be responsible for maintaining order in the base. I have asked Brother Damu to be responsible for the latter." Zhuang Mingxu said here and looked at Lu Weiyi, "And you are the person in charge of both."
After finally returning to a comfortable place, Lu Weiyi just wanted to give up, but he also understood Zhuang Mingxu's concerns and nodded to agree to his arrangement.
"It may be hard in the short term, but I will get everything running at the base as soon as possible, and then everything will be fine." Zhuang Mingxu touched Lu Weiyi's head, "Where do you want to put the lab we brought back? Should we all go to South Island?"
"Put Zhuang Mobai directly under us." Lu Weiyi had already planned to let these people live in the laboratory for the rest of their lives, so naturally he had to keep them under his nose, and "put the rest in South Island."
Considering that the plane was loaded with supplies for the base, those people might not necessarily behave themselves. Lu Weiyi thought for a moment and said, "Use mutant ivy to separate the supplies from the laboratory."
"Okay, then I'll plan the approximate location and have an idea in mind," Zhuang Mingxu said hurriedly. He was about to leave when he suddenly remembered that there was still a big gift package that had not been opened. He turned to look at him and said, "Where is the weapons warehouse? Let's put it on the West Island. The military people will live there. Take out the military vehicles tomorrow and find someone to clean them up and check if there is any damage."
Lu Weiyi nodded and quickly left the bedroom. Less than half a minute later, the door opened again. "Wu Yue has organized a party tomorrow night, which is a formal meeting between the management and each team in the base. All the teams in the base that can queue up will attend, especially you."
Seeing that Lu Weiyi looked hopeless, Zhuang Mingxu went to the study room with a chuckle. His laughter could be heard through the door. Lu Weiyi was so angry at his sudden bad taste that he threw the pillow directly at the door.
**
The next morning, when Lu Weiyi got up, the living room was still cold and quiet.
Li Zhuang sat next to Xu Yi. It was unknown what he said to him. Xu Yi's face was tense, and he looked like he was very angry but had to endure it.
During the study, he took Zhuang Aiyi and Taotao for a walk in the yard to familiarize themselves with the island's environment.
There was no trace of the others. Lu Weiyi glanced at the time. It was nine o'clock in the morning. The weather was extremely hot at noon. The rest time was from eleven o'clock to three o'clock in the afternoon. It was almost time to get off work in the morning, so why hadn't they gotten up yet?
"Breakfast is in the kitchen. Brother Xi asked me to remind you to drink the medicinal food." After Li Zhuang finished speaking, he turned around and continued to talk to Xu Yi in a low voice.
"Where are they?" Lu Weiyi asked.
Li Zhuang looked over with a meaningful look and said faintly, "Didn't you hear anything last night?"
In the stunned look on Lu Weiyi's face, he said slowly, "After being a vegetarian for so long, it's normal that you can't eat meat once you start eating meat. Don't you think so, Dr. Xu?"
Xu Yi suddenly stood up and glared at him, his chest heaving with anger, and strode to sit opposite Lu Weiyi.
Unable to figure out what was going on between the two, Lu Weiyi did not get involved. Thinking about how he had been resting since coming back, he finally had some awareness of being a captain, "Which room are you sleeping in?"
