Chapter 379: A Visitor from Kyoto
"I will supervise everyone to repair the machinery as soon as possible and put it into use." Han Jing equipped each person with a gun and sent them on board.
Eric and Qin Yu took a dozen people who left with them. Lu Weiyi took away some earth-type mutants and all the women who wanted to leave, and set out on the return journey with Li Zhuang.
The cargo ship had just started to turn around when someone on the beach shouted, "Wait a minute."
"Stop," Li Zhuang notified the cockpit via the intercom.
Looking back, Dong Hongyuan was running towards this side holding He Mei, who had not appeared in the past few days. He ignored the sea surface and rushed directly into the water. Lin Mo couldn't bear it anymore, so he took him a few dozen meters on the small motorboat left behind and boarded the cargo ship.
"Are you crazy? You want to swim across a sea of dozens of meters?" Qin Yu cursed.
"I was negligent," Dong Hongyuan said, looking at Li Zhuang nervously with his wooden face, "Brother Zhuang, do you have a doctor? She is not feeling well."
"I didn't bring it," Li Zhuang replied when he saw Lu Weiyi shaking his head.
These days, he wanted to persuade Dong Hongyuan to live in Yuebanwan, but the other party was not interested and did not want to leave at all. They have spent half of their lives fighting, and being able to spend the rest of their lives in a quiet environment is what many people who want to retire hope to spend.
Now that he had achieved it, Li Zhuang was willing to do it reluctantly and even said hello to Lu Weiyi.
I didn't expect it to be so effortless.
"Tsk, you're just pretending." Qin Yu crossed his arms and looked at the nervous woman who was holding her stomach with bright eyes.
Dong Hongyuan lowered his eyes to look at her. The woman held her stomach like a frightened bird, "It hurts, it really hurts, he's turning over and making a fuss..."
Dong Hongyuan lowered his eyes and looked at her belly which was propped up by the long skirt. There was indeed a small bulge on it, which then slowly returned to normal.
It was impossible for the cargo ship to wait for him like this. There was no doctor now, and considering how much he valued the child, no one could guarantee that He Mei was just pretending.
Li Zhuang suggested, "We have a hospital in our base, let's take her there for a check-up. She's about to give birth anyway, so it will be safer."
He Mei's hands, which were covering her stomach, tightened unconsciously, and she looked at Dong Hongyuan hopefully.
Dong Hongyuan is just dull and rigid, not stupid. How could he not see what she is thinking at this moment?
He thought for a moment, nodded, and suddenly asked, "You want to go to Kyoto?"
He Mei didn't dare to speak, for she was afraid that what she said would displease him and she would be taken back to that isolated devil's place.
"I will let you go once you give birth to the baby safely." Dong Hongyuan put her on a stool aside.
He Mei looked at him in disbelief. His eyes contained no emotion, but she always felt that there was a hint of sarcasm in them, silently rebuking her naivety.
She turned her head and looked at the group of women crowded in the corner. They looked at her with envy and jealousy, and some even had a malicious look of gloating.
This made her even more confused, not knowing whether her choice was right or wrong.
But after Dong Hongyuan finished speaking, he followed Li Zhuang somewhere else without paying any attention to her. The noisy waves around her eventually made her lose herself in the illusion of freedom.

It was almost dusk when we returned to the base.
Dean had work at the hospital today, and Antonio went to pick someone up. Zhuang Aiyi hugged him and asked him to go out and play, so he was the only one on the way back, carrying several bags of snacks and three children holding grilled sausages.
"David" a voice came from behind. Antonio froze for a moment, then grabbed Dean and rushed forward.
A figure quickly jumped out from Lu Weiyi's side and chased after Antonio.
"Wow!" Lu Weiyi looked ahead at the scene where Dean was dragged down by his slow speed and finally caught by Eric. The two strong men hugged each other. He clicked his tongue twice and asked Li Zhuang beside him, "Is this the legendary "He chases, he flees, he can't escape even if he has wings"? "
"What nonsense have you seen recently? Do you need me to tell the deputy base commander?" Li Zhuang asked.
Lu Weiyi pretended not to hear, walked quickly forward, and called out to Zhuang Aiyi and Taotao who were with Dean.
"Little Daddy"
"Father"
The children's voices rang out in excitement and they ran towards him. Dean held up a half-eaten ham and handed it to Lu Weiyi's mouth, "Handmade sausage, delicious."
Lu Weiyi took a bite and said, "Hey, not bad."
"Of course, I've tried all the street snacks," Dean said proudly.
While the two were sharing the food, the scene in front of them had changed. When they looked up, the two people who were hugging each other just now had already started fighting with fists.
The fists as big as sandbags hit each other bang, and almost at the same time, they raised their legs to kick each other.
The two of them were in perfect harmony, like two people separated by a mirror, their movements were surprisingly consistent.
"David" Dean exclaimed and immediately prepared to rush forward.
Li Zhuang, who had caught up with him, grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back, screaming fiercely. "I want to help."
"They are playing." Li Zhuang raised his chin and let him go to watch.
Dean also discovered at this time that although the two were fighting, Antonio had no intention of using his superpowers. If it were someone else, he would have been stabbed into a sieve by now.
"Is this Eric?" He remembered their destination.
"right"
"Oh." Dean calmed down and took another bite of the sausage - he was so anxious just now that he didn't throw it away. It seemed that he really loved it.
The people around had spontaneously moved away, leaving a large area empty. The people who came to perform their duties wanted to step forward, but Li Zhuang greeted them and asked them to stand aside and watch the fun.
Dean finished the sausage in a few bites, took out three pairs of baby rattles from the space and handed one to Zhuang Aiyi and Taotao respectively. He pulled the two of them closer, waving them and shouting, "David, come on."
"David, come on," Zhuang Aiyi repeated.
"Come on!" Taotao responded.
The children's rattle with a small bell was shaken by two children, one big and two small, making a crisp sound. As Dean jumped excitedly, it looked particularly funny.
Antonio couldn't help laughing in the end, but he was a little slow and was hit in the abdomen by Eric's punch. He took two steps back, holding his stomach.
Eric laughed heartily and wanted to go forward to hug Antonio, but he saw a dense circle of flying knives appearing around him, swinging up and down towards him.
As he looked in astonishment, Antonio, who was holding Dean not far away, whistled at him with a smug look on his face.
Eric finally threw up his hands in surrender, and the flying knife returned to Antonio and transformed into various metal jewelry.
"This is your little boyfriend." Eric walked forward and bumped shoulders with Antonio, then looked at Dean who was in his arms.
"Yes, my sweetheart, Dean," Antonio finished showing off and asked, "Are you still single?"
Eric was obviously not as good as Antonio in taking over Guowen. After a moment of reaction, he understood what he meant. He raised his eyebrows and asked Dean directly, "Sweetheart, are you an adult?"
"I'm seventeen," Dean replied cheerfully.
"Oh, persecution of minors..." Eric looked sad.
“……”Antonio.
The eyes of the people around him suddenly became strange. They looked at Antonio as if he was a pervert. Some adults even grabbed the children beside them and took two steps back.
"I still hate you." Antonio pulled Dean and turned to leave. Eric's laughter was heard behind them.
Li Zhuang walked forward with Qin Yu, Dong Hongyuan and He Mei who had followed them in, and kindly reminded them, "The base requires crystal cores or supplies. If you don't have them, you may not even be able to find a place to rest."
Eric's laughter stopped abruptly, and he turned around to look for Lu Weiyi. Lu Weiyi had already pulled the two children towards the middle island, not paying any attention to their intentions.
"Oh, David, my dear brother, you and your sweetheart are so perfect for each other..."
Eric shouted animatedly at Antonio, running after him.
**
After staying at the base for a day, Eric has already figured out the upgrades of superpowers and the current situation of each base, and he also vaguely feels that the weapons he has are at a disadvantage.
Faced with Antonio's undisguised ridicule, Eric had no choice but to put away his weapons, rent a vehicle that day, and take a dozen people with him to fight the zombies.
All the women brought back were placed in the plantation to harvest potatoes, while Dong Hongyuan and He Mei rented a room next to the hospital and lived there.
With his previous assurance and the help of Li Zhuang's connections to arrange for a psychologist, and with the normal environment surrounding her, her condition became much more stable, and she no longer showed any signs of madness.
The next day, Lu Xiao and Zhao Qiang arrived as scheduled.
Zhuang Mingxu got the news first and sent a team to pick people up. Lu Weiyi called Lu Xi, who was working hard, out of the laboratory and waited at the entrance of the base.
At the entrance of the base, an off-road vehicle with obvious base logo was in front. Xu Sa, who was driving, lowered the window and waved at them, then quickly drove into the inspection gate.
"We have focused on clearing the road we told them about before, and we didn't encounter any high-level zombies." Xu Sa told Lu Weiyi about the level difference, "Brother Li is the last one to be held." He turned around and looked at the twenty or so cars, "They should be here soon."
Several cars that followed Xu Sa's car into the bridge stopped and the people in the cars got out one after another, led by Lu Xiao.
As soon as "Dad" stood firm, Lu Xi came to meet him.
"Hey, Xiaoxi," Lu Xiao hugged his son and gestured at his height, "You've grown taller again."
"Really? I haven't measured it recently." Lu Xi smiled and took his arm, and asked proudly, "Dad, what do you think of the construction of our base?"
Lu Xiao then looked around. The first checkpoint for the only way to get ashore was a door formed by a hollowed-out cabin. The cabin above should be guarded. Before he got close, he had already seen someone talking to people below through an opaque window. With half of his body sticking out, he could clearly see the gun slung across his body.
What was even more incredible to him was that the psychic who was in the same car with them said that his psychic powers could not penetrate inside and he could not "see" clearly what was going on inside.
At this time, all the small windows above were closed, making it even more impossible to know the exact number of people and equipment inside.
