Chapter 400: Zombie Army
"That's right, how can people like us fight against zombies?"
“You must give us an explanation”
“Yes, there must be an explanation.”
"Listen to me, listen to me!" Wu Yue pressed his hands together to try to get them to be quiet, but no one paid any attention to him.
Everyone seemed to have found the only solution, and they were bustling around. Some people even started to approach Lu Weiyi. They were so angry that they seemed to want to take action.
Lu Weiyi knew that they had no way out, but he didn't intend to let them go. With a powerful mental force, he instantly pinned dozens of people to the ground.
"Not taking you in will naturally be difficult for us. The reason I came here to tell you is that I want to try my best to help you solve the problem." After he spoke, no one around said anything.
"Captain Lu, how do you want to help us?" someone asked.
"There is an island in Yueban Bay. We can designate a part of it for you to temporarily live in until the beginning of next spring."
"Let's go"
"Yes, thank you."
"Thank you"
Lu Weiyi waved his hand, signaling everyone to listen to him, "That island is deserted and there is nothing. After you go up, you can only move around in limited areas. Once anyone leaves, it will be regarded as plotting against the base and will be killed directly."
"Think it over carefully before making a decision. No one will listen to your explanation then."
This was not a big deal for those who had barely enough supplies to survive the winter, but for some who were short of supplies and could not go out to find edible food, it was tantamount to shutting themselves in and waiting to die. It was obvious that some people had quieted down.
"Think about it, form groups of three to five and guarantee each other. Once one person behaves abnormally, the entire group will immediately leave Yueban Bay. I hope you will all consider each other and not implicate others because of yourselves."
After Lu Weiyi finished speaking, he noticed that there were still a few half-grown children standing in the team and estimated the supplies in the base. "For children under the age of fourteen, the base will provide certain subsidies. You can apply to register and receive them when the time comes."
"If everyone here cannot accept such conditions, then everything that happens afterwards will have nothing to do with our base. The base will not send anyone to rescue if an accident occurs. Please consider registering the information of all people who want to enter within one day."
Lu Weiyi notified them that the task was completed, and he and Wu Yue stood up and left.
"They... are so miserable." Wu Yue was glad that he had superpowers, but he was also helpless about this sudden change in the world.
"If we can't pass this level, we will be even worse off than them." Lu Weiyi looked into the distance and dispersed his mental power into countless fine threads, extending in different directions.
In a year, weeds and plants have covered the ruins of the city. The extreme cold and heat have rapidly eroded the traces of civilization. Mutated animals roam around, and occasionally zombies roam around.
"Let's go back and ask the earth-type ability users to build some habitable places on East Island as soon as possible." Lu Weiyi turned around and glanced at the people who had returned underground. "Let's do it this way. The semi-warm underground is much better than the ground."
"Yeah, Mingxu thinks so too. We have also built several emergency residential areas on the North Island in advance to provide temporary shelter when the temperature drops further." Wu Yue told him about some plans for the winter, and the two of them headed towards the North Island.
The arrival of the zombies was faster than expected, and the people waiting outside the next day had already discovered traces of the zombies. No one objected now, and they quickly signed a letter of guarantee and everyone moved to East Island that day.
Compared to the bare outside, there are several empty houses here, surrounded by a circle of walls.
Lu Weiyi felt like he was in prison when he stood at the door, especially since there was a guardhouse at the entrance of the courtyard wall.
Eleven thousand two hundred and eighty-four people were all housed here in small groups of fifty to one hundred people in a room.
Even if everyone obeyed the arrangements obediently at this time, Lu Weiyi could not pin his hopes on a vague warning. When everyone entered the yard, he pulled a handful of green plants at the door.
The huge mutant plants came closer to them in a flattering manner, and the running green leaves spread over a hundred meters. Ordinary people were so frightened by the scene that they huddled together, while those with special abilities were alert and ready to take action at any time.
The whole plant crawled in front of Lu Weiyi, stretching out its small branches and pulling at his hand.
"Guard here. Anyone who leaves this area on the ground or underground will be used as fertilizer for you," Lu Weiyi said as he took out a crystal core.
The mutant ivy was quickly picked up and instantly buried in its countless branches.
Lu Weiyi glanced at Gu Qingji who followed him. Gu Qingji kept repeating to the mutant ivy that the mutant vine wrapped around his wrist would quietly leave and wrap itself around Lu Weiyi in a flattering way when its owner was not paying attention.
Lu Weiyi also fed him a crystal core and he returned to Gu Qingji with satisfaction.
With this shock, at least they could act more cautiously. Lu Weiyi led the team away, and Gu Qingji suddenly asked, "Do you often feed the mutant vine crystal core?"
"No," he thought for a while, "it should be Ai Yi who fed him two or three times."
He had been seen by Zhuang Aiyi several times before feeding the mutant creeper crystal cores. Occasionally, when the mutant vine played with him, Aiyi would ask him for a few crystal cores. He didn't give them to others, so he must have given them to the mutant vine.
"What's wrong? Are you affected?" Lu Weiyi looked at him.
"No, I seem to know why I upgrade so slowly," said Gu Qingji.
"Um?"
"It seems that part of my enhanced supernatural power was absorbed by the mutant vines."
Lu Weiyi didn't understand, so he listened to Gu Qingji's explanation, "Didn't you notice that I need a lot more crystal cores than others every time I upgrade?"
"Yes." Lu Weiyi always thought that this was Gu Qingji's own fault. In addition, he had more wood crystal cores, so his upgrade should not be slow with the same attributes. However, Gu Qingji was not outstanding. The Bai Miao supernatural powers that had never left the base could reach the same level as him.
Lu Weiyi has been convincing himself that this is a matter of talent and he has never thought about anything else, but from what he said, it seems that there are other circumstances involved.
"Every time I was at a critical juncture in my upgrade, I also felt that the crystal cores I absorbed were being transferred, but it was not very obvious. This time it was particularly prominent, and almost half of the crystal cores I absorbed every day disappeared."
"But in the past few days, I have clearly felt that it is gone. I just saw you feeding the mutant vine crystal cores, and it suddenly occurred to me that it should also need crystal cores to upgrade, right?"
"This..." Lu Weiyi really didn't know.
He had never raised mutant plants, so naturally he had no idea how they upgraded.
"What about when your little green branch is upgraded?" Gu Qingji looked at Lu Weiyi's wrist.
"...It doesn't feel very obvious," Lu Weiyi said, "Maybe it absorbed more crystal cores itself. So you mean it absorbed some of your crystal core energy?"
"It's possible. It's upgraded almost along with the upgrades, and now it has reached the late stage of A-level." Gu Qingji touched the emerald green leaves on his wrist, "Can I apply for a portion of the crystal core to feed it?"
"Okay, but you have to know the limits. No one knows whether the overly high level of the mutated plants will have any impact on the owner." Lu Weiyi advanced him 500 crystal cores without hesitation, "Deduct it from your income, and ask me for more if it's not enough."

Within two days after the residents of the base were settled, a large number of zombies began to pour into the Yuebanwan base. All the combat teams in the base were divided into groups and went out to hunt zombies every day.
The levels of zombies range from C to A, and at most there is S level. In the beginning, only some teams were traveling, and when the entire team of psychics was needed to go out, news came from the Pingjin base.
Their psychics have been dispatched.
"They are determined to win this time. The leaders of several major forces have all gone out. According to the statistics that have left, the psychics have brought more than 10,000 people, and 70% of them are A-level. They are approaching us from three directions." Zhuang Mingxu told the new information to the members in the meeting.
"Isn't he afraid that the rear of the base will be destroyed?" Ning Yuan asked.
"I guess with Tang Bai's instigation, he stayed in the base to stabilize the rear. If we succeed in killing these people here, he can take power in the Pingjin base. If not, their return will not affect him at all," said Zhuang Mingxu.
"You're the one who reaps the benefits. What a good plan!"
"No matter whether he is plotting or not, with ten thousand psychics, we are under a lot of pressure, especially when an S-level zombie appeared yesterday. It took the combined efforts of Liu Rui, Li Zhuang and I to kill it." Ning Yuan thought of the zombie's combat effectiveness, "If we didn't have the medical department on standby, a large number of psychics would have died."
"They are hiding behind the zombies now, waiting for us to be exhausted from dealing with the zombies, and then they will attack us. Isn't this a one-shot victory?"
"Can we just take down their lair?"
"You think he didn't consider this possibility? He kept 70% of the B-grade ones. Even if the quality is not good enough, the quantity will still cause us trouble."
"Then can we find a way to make the zombies turn around and rush towards them? After all, a team of 10,000 psychics should be more attractive to zombies."
"Yes," Lu Weiyi replied, "However, there are two possibilities. They successfully deal with the zombies or they are infected. The highest level of their psychics is A-level. If they are attacked by S-level zombies, there is still a possibility of transforming into zombies. At that time, there will be one more zombie of the same level."
This is not good news for them either.
"That will also allow them to get some of their consumption." Li Zhuang looked at Lu Weiyi. Clearly support this approach.
"...Okay!" Lu Weiyi took a deep breath.
It is said that they can be lured away, but it is not easy to implement. The sea surface has been condensed and the zombies can walk on it. Outside the entire ice wall, there are zombies surrounding in a circle, and the howling can be heard in the silence of the night.
Zombies with special powers continuously fired various special powers at the ice wall. The once smooth ice surface was now soaked with sand, dust, blood, and rotten flesh, and was thickened again by water-based special powers, gradually disappearing into the ice layer.
The team held a meeting for several hours and finally decided to use the flesh and blood that would be the most attractive to zombies.
