Chapter 410: Qingyue Awakens
"When I was with the zombie team"
"It's been more than five months." The time is enough. After all, it took him less than six months to upgrade. But Ning Yuan didn't know if there was any difference between them and Team 1.
"I don't know much about this. You can ask the team leader directly. He has always been responsible for the upgrade of the team members."
"Okay," Zheng Jun nodded.
"Then don't go out anymore. Tell your respective teams and complete the handover as soon as possible."
"Lao Ning, can you tell me where we might be going this time?" Li Qing asked.
"It's probably from Jin Province. The base plans to transport some coal back this year. I'll take you to explore it." Ning Yuan looked around and asked Zheng Jun, "Brother Zheng, you are of the Earth element, right?"
"right"
"Besides the team leader and I, we also have Li Zhuang and Antonio traveling with us this time. One of them is earth-related, and the other is metal-related. Those of you who have these two kinds of superpowers should get in touch with them more often. Their superpowers have been brought to perfection by the team leader. It's amazing, and there are many things worth learning from them," Ning Yuan said to the point.
Zhou He was from the metal department. He raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "Thank you."
Ning Yuan nodded and asked, "This time you are required to be able to fly a helicopter, so you'd better come over and familiarize yourself with a private plane when you have time."
"So when do we leave? Is there an exact time?"
"It shouldn't take a few days. Li Zhuang has gone to dig for oil. We'll leave when he comes back."
"Dig for oil?" Li Qing was surprised, "Li Zhuang digs for oil?"
Ning Yuan shrugged and said, "What's so strange about that? Haven't you seen Xu Sa generating electricity? Or have you never seen Liu Rui burning a boiler? It's just digging for oil, no big deal."
Looking at the incredulous eyes of the four people in front of him, Ning Yuan finally felt relieved. There were still people who thought this was abnormal like him.
He patted a few people on the shoulders and said solemnly, "Come on, this is the direction you are striving for." After that, he walked away leisurely, leaving a few people looking at each other in bewilderment.
Less than three days after the notice was issued, Li Zhuang returned to Yueban Bay with the base freighter, along with a ship fully loaded with gasoline and diesel.
Li Zhuang has been on that island for several months. From being unfamiliar with it at the beginning, he has now become proficient in using his supernatural powers to drain oil and become the main force in its extraction.
As soon as he got off the boat and checked with the person who came to receive him, he turned around and prepared to head for North Island.
"Lunch is prepared at home, don't you want to go back and eat?" Lin Yimu asked.
Li Zhuang turned his back and waved his hand, "I'll go to Beidao to take a look."
"Oh," Lin Yimu waited until he was far away before saying, "Dean is on duty today."
Li Zhuang paused, turned around and looked at Lin Yimu, "Brother Damu, you have become a bad person."
Lin Yimu laughed, "Xiao Xu said he was not feeling well recently and asked for leave. You can go over to see him."
"Okay, then I'll go see what happened to our Dr. Xu." Li Zhuang turned around and walked towards the military dormitory.
Xu Yi's room is not big, it is allocated according to the family compound, with two bedrooms and a living room.
Li Zhuang knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no movement from inside. Just when he was about to jump out of the window, he heard the sound of slippers tapping and someone asking who it was.
As the door opened, Xu Yi's worried and panicked face was revealed. Li Zhuang's half-smile faded and he asked seriously, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Xu Yi raised his hand to close the door, but was stopped by Li Zhuang.
He turned and walked towards the bedroom, without any of the enthusiasm he usually had when arguing with Li Zhuang. He was like a defeated rooster, without any fighting spirit at all.
Li Zhuang walked in, looked around, and didn't notice anything unusual. When he turned back, Xu Yi had already shrunk back into bed.
Li Zhuang stepped forward and touched his forehead, but Xu Yi didn't even move his eyes. If it were any other time, he would have been slapped in the face.
"What's the matter?" Li Zhuang leaned over to look at him.
"It's okay, I'm just sleepy, get out of here quickly." Xu Yi didn't open his eyes. The weather in June and July wrapped himself tightly, seeming to be cold, but also seemed to be...
Looking for security.
Li Zhuang didn't argue with him. He went out and asked his neighbors and his colleagues at work. When he didn't get anything, he turned to ask Zhuang Mingxu.
"I don't know. Xu Yi said that he had been feeling unwell recently and had not had a regular rest. He asked if he could take a break for a while. I saw that Dean was full of energy, so I asked him to be on duty every day." Zhuang Mingxu asked, "He said it was a minor problem and he didn't need to see a doctor. What happened?"
Li Zhuang shook his head and went back to Xu Yi, asking him questions and provoking him for two days, but he still failed to cheer him up.
Seeing that the day for them to set out together was approaching, Xu Yi still said nothing and looked lifeless. Li Zhuang could only give instructions to Zhuang Mingxu and leave.
The day before departure, Lu Weiyi went to see Gu Qingji who was recuperating in the hospital.
The spacious ward was no different from the room he lived in. It was a large ward with a nursing room. Gu Qingyue had been living here with him since he moved in.
Gu Qingji has woken up, but is unconscious.
When Lu Weiyi arrived, Gu Qingyue was basking in the sun with him. They sat side by side under the window, wearing straw sun hats and casual clothes, which gave off a combination of Chinese and Western styles.
Gu Qingji's eyes were staring blankly into the distance. Gu Qingyue turned his head slightly and rested his head on his shoulder. In the distance, the sounds of children playing in the orphanage could be seen. The tender gurgling sounds formed a sharp contrast with the environment of the hospital.
"The doctor said that your condition has improved a lot. As long as you have a strong will, you will wake up one day."
Gu Qingyue's voice was gentle and peaceful, just like he was when they first met. Time seemed to have left no trace on him. Even though they were on the run, he was still the kind-hearted doctor.
"I've been going to the children's home to help out recently, and I suddenly realized that children are actually quite annoying, not as well-behaved as you were when you were a child."
“I don’t like them either.”
As Gu Qingyue spoke, his voice lowered and tears flowed unconsciously. He tilted his head and buried his face in Gu Qingyue's shoulder, and a choked voice came out, "I seem to understand what you said back then."
"Nothing is more important than you"
"Wake up, we are the only two relatives in this world. I..."
"I'm afraid I can't hold on."
When Lu Weiyi heard his low cry, he retreated to the outside of the yard and stood there for a long time. When he came back, he had calmed down and was pushing his wheelchair for a walk.
"Is there anything you are not used to in life?"
Except for the red eyes, Gu Qingyue has returned to his usual appearance. He shook his head and said, "Brother Mingxu has shared a large part of my work. I now have enough time to take care of Qingji."
He has now been promoted to S-level. The height of his supernatural powers means that the base will support him even if he does nothing. However, he is worried that the gap will be too big and he will be eliminated by the base and his teammates, so he insists on working. Zhuang Mingxu lets him recruit a few capable assistants to help, so that he has more time to take care of Gu Qingji.
Lu Weiyi leaned over and looked at Gu Qingji, whose eyes were lifeless. No one had expected that this handsome young man would become like this.
Along the way, he kept forcing his teammates to upgrade, hoping that they would have superpowers and not encounter danger, so that they would not regret following him and leaving.
He was afraid of disappointing their trust and that life after leaving Qingyuan would not be as good as before. This was one of the reasons that forced him to keep working hard.
During this confrontation with the zombies, he had imagined countless times who might get into trouble, but he never expected it would be him.
Lu Weiyi took out a few crystal cores and stuffed them into his wrist. Several slender stems stretched out and wrapped around the crystal cores, rotating his entire wrist in a circle, like a string of jewels on his wrist, sparkling in the sun.
In the silence around, Lu Weiyi's intercom suddenly rang, "Xiaoyi, I told Brother Xi that we will not go back for lunch, come over to my side."
Zhuang Mingxu's voice sounded crisply and fell decisively.
"Oh" Lu Weiyi replied.
After replying and looking up, Lu Weiyi discovered that Gu Qingyue's eyes were full of envy when he looked at him.
"I've always wanted to ask you, don't you care about the opinions of people around you?" Gu Qingyue still remembered that when someone in the team first asked about his relationship with Zhuang Mingxu, Lu Weiyi thought for a long time and seriously replied with two words, "sponsor."
Lu Weiyi smiled strangely, as if he thought the question was funny. "Do you think the people around me dare to look at me?"
Gu Qingyue said nothing.
There are traditional relationships in the base, and not even everyone in their team has relationships with the same sex, but when it comes to eye contact, no one does it, and everyone even jokes about it, as if they don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Of course, this depends on his current status. No one dares to offend him. "What about before the end of the world?"
"No," Lu Weiyi shrugged. "When Zhuang Mingxu started his business, my mental state was at its worst. I was completely isolated and protected. When I got a little better, his status determined that countless people tried to curry favor with me."
Gu Qingyue was a little disappointed with me. He was just an ordinary person, blending in with the general public and didn't have such strong confidence.
"All the schools I attended were funded by donations. I don't know much, but I remember one sentence: people with different ideals cannot work together. If others don't respect you, why should you consider their opinions?"
Lu Weiyi has poor empathy and cannot understand Gu Qingyue's feelings. He sincerely suggests, "How about I let Zhuang Mingxu talk to you? He has a certificate as a psychological counselor and is a professional."
Gu Qingyue smiled bitterly, "No need, but I seem to understand what Qingji said before."
When you are alive, you must know what is the most important thing.
Unfortunately, people often only truly understand something when they lose it.
"Don't cry, have you forgotten that we have two healing psychics in our base? When they were upgrading..." Lu Weiyi reminded him that when Dean was upgraded, the scene was so fierce that some of his shattered crystal cores were repaired.
Gu Qingyue was stunned and said excitedly, "Yes, yes, how could I forget this."
"It will be fine. If they are not enough, we can call all the healing systems from other bases to upgrade them," Lu Weiyi consoled. "Besides, the healing systems at B level can already set bones and raise muscles. Who knows what the healing systems at A level can do?"
"Taking care of a patient is a long process. You have to take care of yourself first." Lu Weiyi patted his shoulder and turned to go to the government building to have lunch with Zhuang Mingxu.
