Chapter 357 Origin
When Zhuang Mingxu heard his question, he handed the wine glass over. Li Zhuang poured him a glass. Then he spoke, "Maybe you recognized me."
Li Zhuang was curious, and then he heard Zhuang Mingxu say, "When I was in the army, I was on a mission and encountered a kidnapping case. His uncle's contact kidnapped him and wanted to get the company's shares from him and then kill him, so he rescued the person."
"My face was covered in camouflage at the time, so he didn't recognize me. Later, he attacked Xiao Yi, and I beat him up myself. I had originally planned to just cut his tendons, but I decided to break his legs because I recognized him. I felt that I had saved a social scum and harmed my family, and I was angry."
"He probably doesn't know when he found out. The last time he saved Ai Yi, I said I owed him one, and he said we were even."
Li Zhuang didn't expect that there were only a few people in the team, and each of them was very experienced. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should sigh that the world is really small.
The two chatted intermittently, and after finishing a bottle of wine, the sky was already turning pale.
Li Zhuang stood up and stretched, "A new day starts with sleep."
Zhuang Mingxu also wanted to respond, but suddenly remembered that he had countless things to do. He looked at the man who was carrying the empty bottle to hide, and suspected that this guy was deliberately trying to get him to drink.
The next morning, Lu Weiyi brought Zhuang Aiyi and Taotao to South Island and released the mutated ivy that had been trapped in the space for a long time.
"This is the supply yard of our base. You let it take root here and let the vines surround the island. If anyone lands on the island from other places, kill them directly."
Taotao was confused and it took her a long time to communicate with the mutant creeper.
The ivy obediently planted its taproots in countless containers, and the emerald green vines began to extend outward like a carpet.
The level of the mutated ivy is high enough, but it is still impossible to cover the surrounding area of South Island. Lu Weiyi can only let it give it the position that is least likely to be noticed.
The three of them planted the mutant fruit trees that Taotao brought back on the island, and then went to the villa before the high temperature arrived.
As soon as I walked to the island promenade, I saw a woman looking inside the seashore near the middle island of the north island.
Seeing the three people, he waved his hands and shouted, "Captain Lu, Captain Lu".
Seeing people looking at her, she jumped up and said, "I want to find Qingji. Can you take me there? The cable bridge here has fallen into the water and I can't pull it out."
"..." As soon as these words came out, Lu Weiyi immediately recognized who this person was.
Zhao Qianqian.
On the dock not far from her, groups of men were working, keeping an eye on the situation here, waiting for Lu Weiyi to come over and help.
Unexpectedly, Lu Weiyi just turned his head away and pretended not to see it.
"Captain Lu, Captain Lu"
"Stop shouting. What do you mean you're going to find your boyfriend? It's obvious that he doesn't even know you."
"You're not coming here to pay for it, are you?"
"Hurry up, go, go, no one is allowed to stay here."
Several men came over and talked, waving their hands to drive Zhao Qianqian away. Even from a distance, Lu Weiyi could still hear her shouting that her father was the director of the research institute.
With such a person...
As soon as we entered the island, we saw Xi Shi picking grapes with several team members in the yard. Lu Xi, who had been hiding in the laboratory for a few days, ran over excitedly and said, "Brother, I've been upgraded. I'm an A-level mutant now."
"Great!" Lu Weiyi gave a thumbs up.
Zhuang Aiyi pulled Taotao and trotted to Gu Qingyue and said loudly, "Uncle Qingyue, where is Uncle Qingji? His girlfriend is looking for him, she is over there."
"Ah?" Xi Shi turned his head to look at Zhuang Aiyi, then asked Gu Qingyue silently.
"He went out to help. I will tell him when he comes back," Gu Qingyue answered Zhuang Aiyi, and then said to Xi Shi, "I met a fan of his in the lab before, and she kept chasing after me."
"Then you have to make him understand clearly." Xi Shi was as if facing a great enemy. He put down the basket of grapes and said seriously, "Life is hard now. Many girls don't want to work. They all want to find a capable man to depend on. Some time ago, someone came to your Uncle Xiong. She was old enough to be his daughter."
"Qingji wanted to avoid him, but the girl's father is the chief expert of the laboratory and is said to be very capable." This is also the reason why Gu Qingji has always been cautious.
"Is that so?" It is indeed difficult to avoid someone with a high status, and Xi Shi could not think of any good solution for a moment. "No, let Qingji talk to him first. If that doesn't work, ask Wei Yi if he has any solution."
Gu Qingyue nodded, but did not plan to ask others to solve the problem. The sharp-eyed Lu Weiyi was in poor health and was busy every day without any rest. Not to mention Zhuang Mingxu, who went out early and came back late. It was really not right to trouble the two of them with these things.
Lu Weiyi, who had no idea what he was thinking, had already been dragged into the villa by Lu Xi.
"Brother, I talked to Professor Zhong Qi on the way about some ideas for manufacturing crystal core weapons. He is very interested in this. I want to cooperate with him. When will they go to the laboratory?" Lu Xi asked.
"Wait a little longer, Zhuang Mingxu has made detailed arrangements," Lu Weiyi replied, "What do you think?"
"They had been using weapons to attack the mutant plant in the research institute before, but they felt that the primitive weapons were not very effective against the mutant plant. Later, the mutant animals they encountered along the way confirmed this idea, and they knew that you were looking for them to research new energy weapons."
"In addition, since we had the crystal core gun before, Professor Zhong Qi directly expressed that he was very interested in it and wanted to join my research and work with me. He even said he would be my deputy." Lu Xi looked a little proud.
"Do you want to go with him?" Lu Xi always liked to come alone and was quite averse to others. Lu Weiyi took the initiative to ask for his opinion.
"I think," Lu Xi said affirmatively, "some of Professor Zhong's ideas are very advanced. He will combine some previous weapon concepts and even experimental data. It is said that their team has studied laser weapons and electromagnetic weapons before, and some have been put into experiments. They are energy weapons like today's crystal core weapons. He believes that they will have the same effect."
"After I came back, I thought about it seriously and read some information. I also agreed with his idea. I think if I work with him, maybe we can research the gold energy gun quickly."
"Other laboratories cannot be put into use now, but you can invite them to your laboratory to conduct research together temporarily. It should not take more than half a month." Lu Weiyi considered the current situation and continued, "As for who will be the team leader, this depends on ability."
"I know that many scientific research institutions also have the phenomenon of bullying newcomers to replace research results. What I can provide you is that you will not face such a thing, but you can't do such a thing to others."
"I know, brother. I will communicate with Professor Zhong in detail." Lu Xi stood up straight and promised seriously. He looked like a slender poplar, and he would become more firm and upright with time.
"I believe you. Besides, our base does not need to research metal-type supernatural guns for the time being. Finding a way to stabilize the fire and ice crystal core guns and finding a more matching metal gun body is the top priority." Lu Weiyi thought for a while and added, "If you still have energy, you can also try it on the crystal core cannon. The base is in the ocean, so we still need to be vigilant against the invasion of marine mutant creatures at all times."
Lu Xi understood what he said and suddenly felt a sense of urgency, "Then I will clean up a few rooms in the laboratory and let them live in them and do research with me. Later, when other laboratories can be put into use, we will move there."
After Lu Weiyi nodded, Lu Xi hurried to find someone.
On that day, twelve researchers and assistants, represented by Zhong Qi, were selected to move into the small laboratory. The number of people exceeded expectations, so Lu Weiyi could only vacate the supplies on the second underground floor and temporarily give them to Lu Xi for use.
In the afternoon, Xu Yi once again proposed to live in Xi Island, and Lu Weiyi agreed after careful consideration.
As if he couldn't wait, Xu Yi moved there that same day. The soldiers on Xi Island gave him a warm welcome, arranged the best dormitory for him to rest, and even gave him several sets of daily necessities and clothes.
When Li Zhuang came back from helping to harvest the wheat fields all day, he found that the room was empty.
"Where are the people?" Li Zhuang asked.
"We went to Xi Island." Lu Weiyi had a serious face, but his eyes betrayed his mood for fun. Then he added, "Zheng Jun and the others are going out tomorrow to hunt zombies and practice their superpowers. They want Xu Yi to go with them, and Xu Yi agreed."
Li Zhuang paused and looked back at him, "Do you agree?"
"Actively cultivate your supernatural powers, why shouldn't I agree?" Lu Weiyi pretended not to know what he meant.
Li Zhuang looked at him expressionlessly. This was one of the rare times when he had a cold face. But Lu Weiyi was not scared at all and asked with his eyes if he had any questions.
After a moment, Li Zhuang took a deep breath and asked, "Do you agree to let Xu Yi go?"
"He told me that their abilities are weak and it's easy for them to get into trouble if they go out. It would be safer if they have a healer. It's reasonable and logical, so it would be strange for me to stop them, right?"
Li Zhuang pointed his index finger at Lu Weiyi twice, turned around and strode out of the villa. Lu Weiyi's clear laughter came from behind him.
"Aren't you afraid that he will get angry?" Dean, who was just watching the fun in the corner, dared to come over.
Lu Weiyi smiled and didn't answer. He took a piece of potato chips from his hand and said, "Just wait, he will definitely fail."
"How do you know?"
Of course, it was because of how he insulted others a few days ago, so Xu Yi agreed this time also to save face.
However, Lu Weiyi really wanted Xu Yi to get used to going out with the team so that the effect of the healing system could be maximized. It would be a bit of a waste to keep him at the base all the time.
As expected, half an hour later Li Zhuang came back as if nothing had happened and went straight back to the room.
