Chapter 359 Fusion
Zhuang Mingxu quickly came in and closed the door.
"Awake? How do you feel?"
"It's really good." Lu Weiyi paused and added, "I feel relaxed all over."
"Then let's go check it out now?" Zhuang Mingxu couldn't hide his excitement.
The two of them quickly packed up and went to the laboratory downstairs. Although Zhuang Mobai was dissatisfied with the other party interrupting his research every other day, he had no say now and could not do anything about his dissatisfaction, so he quickly examined the two of them.
"You guys are frequently diverting my attention to other things, which can easily delay the progress of the current project." Zhuang Mobai reminded while waiting for the results.
"If you have any questions about the progress of the experiment, please communicate directly with Antonio," Zhuang Mingxu said directly.
Zhuang Mobai choked. He had seen with his own eyes a few days ago how miserable Shen Xiuzhu was when he was beaten up by Antonio because he thought he was slow. Especially the cruel words he said with a smile before leaving. He would start cutting off his hands and feet next time. Anyway, the team had a healing system to pick up the pieces so they could keep cutting off their hands and feet.
"You are really my grandson," Zhuang Mobai said coldly.
“There’s still a layer between us.”
Zhuang Mobai didn't want to waste time with him. When the test results came out, he immediately threw them to Zhuang Mingxu and left without saying a word.
Zhuang Mingxu had been paying close attention recently and already knew how to read the results. He pulled Lu Weiyi and directly saw the value he wanted to see. He nodded at him and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two left the laboratory happily.
“It seems that thing can really clear the zombie energy in the crystal core. Maybe I can let Zhuang Mobai study its composition in the future.” Zhuang Mingxu pulled people back to the villa, his steps more excited than usual.
"He's not studying this now?"
"Of course I have to finish this first," Zhuang Mingxu said without hesitation, "Isn't there much snow water in your space?"
Lu Weiyi turned around in surprise, with a look on his face that almost said "how did you know?"
"I estimated the quantity, and Zhuang Mobai is also urging us." After this incident, Zhuang Mingxu had to admit that Zhuang Mobai had something on his plate, and he was really good at seeing the problem right away.
"He is a research fanatic. I deliberately left your test result sheet with him just now. After he sees it, he will definitely be anxious to know the situation. I will then tell him that this one is successful and give him the next one." Zhuang Mingxu did not hide his routine at all.
"You are so mean," Lu Weiyi commented, but a smile appeared on his face.
As Zhuang Mingxu expected, Zhuang Mobai discovered the miracle when his assistant was packing up and handed it to him.
Zhuang Mobai was excited for a long time, looking forward to Zhuang Mingxu coming every day so that he could find an excuse to ask them what they had done. It was not until he asked Antonio who came to check the progress that he realized the trap set by his good grandson. However, he was so itchy that working overtime day and night became the norm, and the progress of the experiment was advancing by leaps and bounds.
As soon as he returned that day, Lu Weiyi began to experiment with the process of fusing the crystal core into his body.
Although there are some leaks and it is not easy to gather all the energy, compared with the previous obstruction of zombie energy, the energy now flows smoothly as if it is a part of his body. He is used to mobilizing superpowers and can mobilize energy with ease.
In less than half an hour, he mastered the rules. With the mobilization of all the energy, it began to spread from the inside of the crystal core to the surrounding area, eventually forming a vortex-shaped energy ball. Every time it came into contact with the crystal core wall, a layer of the crystal core wall would be reduced, and eventually it completely became a part of the energy.
The location of his original crystal core also became a ball of energy. As he guided it, it dispersed into thousands of threads and gathered in various parts of his body.
The problem that had been unsolvable for a long time was finally solved so easily. Lu Weiyi felt the energy distributed throughout his body like nerves, and he was stunned in disbelief.
After Zhuang Mingxu knew this, his tense nerves finally relaxed. He hugged Lu Weiyi tightly for a long time without saying anything. Feeling the uneasiness that Zhuang Mingxu had been suppressing, Lu Weiyi inevitably felt sad.
"This is a good thing. Do you know the quantity?" Zhuang Mingxu looked at the peaches in his hand that could be put on a plate to make birthday peaches at any time, and wondered how to maximize the profit.
"There are less than ten fruits on the tree. I used four and they never grew again," said Lu Weiyi as he looked at the fruits on the tree in the space.
"Let me ask Taotao." Zhuang Mingxu looked around and found Taotao who was climbing the slide with Zhuang Aiyi in the game room and called her over.
Taotao heard his question and thought for a while, "There are only so many, it takes a very long time to produce one."
This almost ruined the idea of mass production. Fortunately, Zhuang Mingxu was prepared and didn't feel disappointed, but...
"Is this the fruit you grew?" Zhuang Mingxu remembered that Taotao seemed to be one with the peach tree.
"No, it's the fruit of a big tree," Taotao said.
“Aren’t you a big tree?”
"No, I am a jade pendant."
"Are you a jade pendant?" Zhuang Mingxu asked doubtfully.
"I... Am I not a jade pendant?" Tao Tao immediately became unconfident. With a confused look on his face, he muttered, "Then what am I?"
Then, Taotao covered her head with her hands, as if enduring great pain, "I am not the jade pendant, I am Taotao, Taotao... Who is Taotao?"
When Zhuang Mingxu saw this, he looked at Lu Weiyi, and hurriedly hugged the child tightly in his arms, constantly comforting him, "You are Taotao, you are Taotao, you are nothing but Taotao."
Taotao's small body was trembling. "Am I, Taotao?"
He looked at Lu Weiyi helplessly.
Lu Weiyi nodded seriously and pinched his tender cheek, "It's Taotao, Aiyi's younger brother."
"Yeah." Taotao stared at his pale face and smiled at him.
Zhuang Mingxu didn't dare ask more questions. He just talked to him for a while, and when he saw that he had calmed down, he let Zhuang Aiyi take the others out to play.
"He has forgotten a lot of things," Zhuang Mingxu sighed. He was really worried about keeping such an unknown creature around. This was also the reason why Zhuang Mingxu was determined to find out what he was.
But after all, she has a baby face and a tender body, so I really can't bear to be cruel to her.
What's more, the child has been calling "Dad" affectionately for so long.
"Let's talk about it later." Zhuang Mingxu took out a space jade from his own space and handed it to Lu Weiyi, "This is the one I left for Aiyi yesterday. I'll give it to him when he grows up. It's safer to keep it with you. Please help him keep it."
Lu Weiyi nodded and threw it onto the stone table under the big tree in the space.
Zhuang Mingxu gave a few more instructions, and seeing that it was almost four o'clock, he hurried back to Beidao to work with his parasol.
Lu Weiyi, who felt well, got bored after staying at home for a few days. He was used to going out and couldn't stand such a relaxed life, especially when most of his teammates were not at home.
"Wei Yi, do you want to pick vegetables with me? There are a lot of ripe beans, tomatoes and cucumbers in the garden. We can pick them and process them. They can be preserved until winter." Xi suggested when he saw him sitting on the sofa in a daze.
"Little dad, persimmons are delicious." Zhuang Aiyi also carried a small basket and handed a cherry tomato to Lu Weiyi's mouth.
Taotao next to her had a red circle on her mouth from eating so much, and she kept smacking her lips. She nodded in affirmation with her pair of black eyes.
"Okay." Lu Weiyi walked with them to the West Island holding a woven basket, "Isn't it in our yard?"
"We don't grow much in our yard, but that's what we eat on a daily basis. West Island is large, so in addition to the 1,000 acres that the military initially reclaimed and planted, we also planted ten acres of vegetables, five acres of which were reserved for seeds, and the remaining five acres are for everyone's daily meals." Since Xi Shi came here, he has been solely responsible for logistics, and has made clear arrangements for the eating, drinking, and defecation of everyone in the family.
"Now is the time to dry the vegetables. Let's dry more. In the winter, we can still have vegetables to eat even if there are no wood-type psychics." Lu Weiyi didn't say anything. Xi Shi knew that he couldn't understand. After all, the wood-type psychics in his team were all very powerful.
"In fact, I didn't think it was necessary at first, but when I saw that both the soldiers and ordinary people couldn't even get food because there were no wood-type mutants, let alone vegetables, I felt a sense of urgency to store some."
"It's no big deal. It's always a good idea to store some dry goods." As they spoke, the four people and three wolf cubs walked to the edge of the promenade, where they could see a fishing boat returning to the North Island Pier.
"Old Xi, do you want some fish? We have some cod today, which is just right for the children to eat." A rough man was standing at the bow, wearing only a vest, with his chest open to reveal his tanned belly, and he shouted over here.
When Xi Shi heard this, he stopped immediately and shouted at him, "Is it a mutant?"
"It seems that one of them is not mutated, but two of them are mutated."
"I'll go and take a look. Non-mutated cod are rare. I'll bring it back to add to Ai Yi's dish." Xi Shi stuffed the basket he was carrying into Lu Weiyi's arms. He moved so quickly that he didn't look like a man who was nearly fifty years old.
"You go to West Island, I'll turn." The man shouted to the person who was driving the boat, and the bow of the boat visibly tilted to an angle.
Xi Shi hurried back to West Island. Lu Weiyi, who walked so quickly, even wondered if he had really become sick after raising the child for so long?
"Grandpa Xi, Aiyi wants to see it too." Zhuang Aiyi trotted over, and Taotao followed closely behind. The three wolf cubs pushed and shoved each other to get closer.
Only Lu Weiyi was left holding two baskets, walking slowly and out of place.
When I went to practice, I had already got three cods and was keeping an account book with the people on the boat.
Lu Weiyi took a quick glance and didn't recognize what the cod looked like, but the largest one was obviously as tall as Taotao. Even though it was killed, its reflex arc was still there. Its tail struggled and twitched from time to time, revealing a mouth full of serrations like a shark, scaring Taotao so much that she hid behind Zhuang Aiyi.
Lu Weiyi looked towards the boat and saw several large plastic barrels with a diameter of two meters on the boat, which were filled with various fish. The most obvious one was a squid that took up most of the barrel.
"Are these all mutated seafood?" Lu Weiyi asked.
