Chapter 358 Peach
After dinner, Li Zhuang asked Wu Yue with all the team members present, "What level of supernatural power have you reached now?"
"A-level middle and late"
"What about you?" He looked at Xu Sa.
"almost"
Finally, it stopped on Gu Qingji.
"A-level late stage"
Seeing that those he named were those who had failed to upgrade, the remaining few were a little nervous. Bai Miao carefully shrank back, while Li Dongsheng looked like he was listening carefully.
Li Zhuang only looked at the remaining four psychics and asked, "Are you going to stay in the base to do logistics or improve your combat effectiveness at the same time?"
Before Gu Qingyue could answer, Gu Qingji took the lead and said, "My brother stays in the base."
Gu Qingyue frowned and said, "I'm going out."
"Brother" Gu Qingji looked at him anxiously, but Gu Qingyue did not respond, and even lowered his eyes and did not look at him. It was obvious that they were in conflict.
"I'm going out," Xiong Jie said without hesitation.
She met Xi Shi's worried gaze and patted his hand soothingly.
"I'll stay at the base..." Bai Miao said in a low voice, and then asked carefully, "Is that okay?"
"Sure," Li Zhuang answered and looked at Li Dongsheng.
"I..." Li Dongsheng hesitated. Those in the team who awakened their superpowers at the same time as him have already reached S-level, but he is still in the middle and late stages of A-level. This is even after absorbing a lot of wood crystal cores.
"The base also needs people with special abilities to do logistics. I just follow the wishes of each of you to customize a plan that is more suitable for you." Li Zhuang rarely did what a deputy captain should do.
"Brother Li, please stay at the base first," Zhuang Mingxu said before Li Dongsheng could speak. "You lead the team to produce food. There are not many A-level wood-type mutants. If you leave, the output will be even lower. If you want to upgrade, how about waiting for Qingji to upgrade successfully and come back to help, and then you can prepare to upgrade?"
Li Dongsheng nodded in agreement, and then heard Li Zhuang continue, "Then starting tomorrow, I will lead the team to go out and hunt zombies and improve our superpowers, is that okay?" He looked at Lu Weiyi.
"You are the deputy captain, you have the final say." Lu Weiyi smiled as if he saw through his purpose, but Li Zhuang didn't mind at all.
"I'm busy, Lu Xi needs me," Antonio shrugged.
"I..." Ning Yuan has been following the seafood team to catch seafood recently to prepare food reserves for the winter.
"You stay too," said Zhuang Mingxu.
"Oh my god!" Liu Rui grabbed Xu Sa's hand, with a look of worry on his face.
"Okay, then let's meet at five o'clock tomorrow morning," Li Zhuang said, and stood up to leave.
Then Zhuang Mingxu said, "Don't hunt zombies aimlessly. There is still a part of the map of Pingjin City that we don't have. You can take advantage of the time when you are hunting zombies to complete this part of the map. I mean the distribution of supply points."
He stood up and raised his chin towards Li Zhuang, and the two of them entered the study.
The mission came unexpectedly, and Xi Shi finally reacted and asked, "Should I prepare some food for you?"
"We don't have space or place to put it," said Gu Qingji
"Doesn't that mean we have to take supplies with us when we go out?" Xu Sa leaned back in his chair and stretched himself out like a pancake.
"We are used to enjoying life with the captain. Other teams carry their own supplies when they go out. Let's try it this time." Xiong Jie is the oldest and doesn't take many things to heart. He has long been satisfied that he can be released from prison during his lifetime and live a good life with Xi Shi. At this time, he took the initiative to comfort a group of young people.
Lu Weiyi thought about it and stood up and said, "I'll go find a jade space for you."
Amid everyone's surprised gazes, Lu Weiyi stood up and walked towards Zhuang Mobai's experiment. More than half an hour later, he came back with five pieces of space jade.
The people who had been waiting in the living room looked at him in surprise. Xu Sa asked tentatively, "Lu Xiaoyi, don't tell me this..."
"Both," Lu Weiyi gave him an affirmative answer. Even Zhuang Mingxu, who had just heard the news, was surprised.
All of their jade spaces had been given to Lu Weiyi to upgrade his own space, and now they had no extra ones.
"Except for those who already have a space, you can draw lots to decide who will own these five spaces." Lu Weiyi was very democratic.
As soon as these words were spoken, the living room suddenly became lively. Several people were eager to try. In the end, Li Zhuang was the first to draw the first one, followed by Liu Rui, Gu Qingji and Wu Yue. The last one actually fell into the hands of Taotao who reached out quietly.
The child didn't know what was going on and just thought it was the adults playing. When he saw everyone looking at him, he smiled innocently and gave the number he drew to Zhuang Aiyi.
"Can Ai Yi be left to someone who needs it more? Dad will..." Zhuang Mingxu didn't finish his words.
Xu Sa interrupted, "The kid was lucky to have drawn it, but what would it be like if we, his uncles, took it away? Besides, even if there are four jade spaces, our team has the most jade spaces, so we don't need this one."
"Yes, keep it, Aiyi, and put some snacks in it." Xiongjie also spoke up.
Naturally, no one else had any objections. After all, it was a favor for Lu Weiyi to take it out, and no one could say anything if he didn't take it out.
Seeing that everyone was persuading him, Zhuang Mingxu didn't say anything. They had previously left a jade space of about 100 square meters for Zhuang Aiyi, but later, in a hurry, they gave it all to Lu Weiyi for upgrading. Now, the existing jade spaces basically have owners, and it is not so easy to get another one.
Zhuang Mingxu had been thinking of giving him his jade space when he grew up. Now that he had one, no matter how big it was, it would always be useful.
After Lu Weiyi gave a few instructions about the cut locations, he reminded carefully, "The jade space can be plundered. I hope that everyone who uses it outside will be careful not to be targeted by people who are stronger than you."
The areas of the four spaces are different, the large one is about 90 square meters, and the small one is only about 20 square meters. Lu Weiyi gave them some weapons support and then let them rest.
At night, Zhuang Mingxu returned to his room earlier than in the previous few days. Seeing that he was still awake, he asked about the origin of the jade space.
"Ask Shen Xiuyue where she got it. She has several of them, filled with all kinds of supplies." Of course, the supplies all went to Lu Weiyi at a lower price.
"When did you know she had a space?" Zhuang Mingxu was surprised that he hadn't heard Lu Weiyi mention it for such a long time.
"I knew it from the beginning" but she was really not in good spirits at the time and had no intention of dealing with such things. One day, Chen Xiu Yue had a mental problem and she had no idea what space was.
Zhuang Mingxu didn't ask any more questions. "Before, Zhuang Mobai asked you to think about whether there are any differences between your upgrade and others. Have you thought about it?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head, and heard Zhuang Mingxu staring at him and asked seriously, "Have you ever eaten the peaches given by Taotao?"
Lu Weiyi was stunned for a moment, then he continued to ask, "When Dean's upgrade seemed to have failed, you gave him peaches to eat, right?"
Lu Weiyi thought about it seriously and nodded, "You suspect this is it?"
"I think that's it." Zhuang Mingxu has been thinking about this matter these days. Lu Weiyi has never concealed anything from him along the way, whether it was absorbing the crystal core or upgrading. He is familiar with the process every time and never felt that there was anything wrong. If there was anything strange, it was the last time, and coupled with Dean's too obvious condition that time, it was hard not to be suspicious.
"Don't you know what the effects are?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head, "I was almost suffocated to death by energy at that time, and I couldn't upgrade. Taotao said it was a good stuff and insisted that I eat it. After I ate it, I fainted from the pain. When I woke up, my absorption rate of the crystal core was much higher."
"Then you..." Zhuang Mingxu wanted him to try, but he didn't dare to take the risk of failure. "Should we ask Taotao?"
"He only says it's a good thing." Lu Weiyi took one out directly from the space. He had eaten this thing twice, and both times were not a good experience.
In front of Zhuang Mingxu, he ate a peach directly.
Zhuang Mingxu looked at him nervously, and sure enough, after a while, Lu Weiyi began to feel uncomfortable.
He himself could not see it, but Zhuang Mingxu saw it clearly, as if there was a force of energy running rampant in his body, causing veins on his face and arms to bulge out from time to time, and dense capillaries to appear on his skin, as if they could burst at any time.
"Ouch..." Lu Weiyi was shaking in pain and rolling around unconsciously. Zhuang Mingxu stood by helplessly.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhuang Mingxu's forehead was soaked with sweat.
Under the naked eye, countless capillaries in Lu Weiyi's body oozed black and sticky liquid, like a layer of asphalt scraped on his skin, with a faint foul odor.
Zhuang Mingxu had smelled this smell in Dean's room before.
He watched with bated breath. After a while, Lu Weiyi calmed down and looked like he was dying.
Thinking about how he was forced into a desperate situation in the space and was tortured into this state, and still endured it all by himself, Zhuang Mingxu felt a pain in his heart.
"Xiaoyi? Does it still hurt?" Zhuang Mingxu asked softly.
Lu Weiyi's eyes trembled and he answered silently.
"I'll carry you to wash up." After carrying the person to the bathroom, Zhuang Mingxu came out and saw that their bed had been soaked with a black unknown substance. The stench was enough to make people faint. He was about to throw it away, but after a moment of hesitation, he decided to put it away and let Zhuang Mobai test its specific composition.
He opened the window to ventilate the room and made the bed again. When he returned, Lu Weiyi had fallen asleep leaning against the bathtub, his slightly furrowed brows revealing fatigue.
It was the first time that Lu Weiyi saw his little prince so dirty. Just as he was about to help, thinking of these substances, Zhuang Mingxu cautiously put on a pair of gloves.
When Lu Weiyi woke up from his sleep, it was already noon the next day.
After sleeping comfortably for so long, his mind was still confused. He sat on the bed for a long time before he remembered what happened yesterday.
He touched his forehead which no longer hurt, and he never thought that peach could have such effect.
Zhuang Mingxu, who was working from home and worried about his situation, quietly opened the door and saw him half-holding the quilt in a daze. His porcelain-white skin seemed to be glowing in the dim light shining through the curtains, making him look like an elf who just woke up. When he looked up at him, his heart was touched.
