Chapter 416 Demonstration
"Colonel Qin Xing is at the base," Wang Qing said with grief on his face, "and the remaining comrades are buried underground."
The man who spoke first had a bitter look on his face, "We lost 2,382 comrades."
"Has the country forgotten us?"
About fifty soldiers came out of the yard behind them one after another. They looked at them expectantly and sadly, as if silently asking, why didn't you come earlier.
"Country" Ning Yuan's voice also became hoarse.
"It no longer exists."
Ning Yuan didn't tell them in detail, but just asked to see their highest commander.
"Qin Xing, 41 years old? Retired from special forces?" Li Qing suddenly asked.
"Yes, do you know our colonel?" Wang Qing asked.
Lu Weiyi and a few others also turned around. Since there was someone they knew there, it would be easier for them to communicate later.
Li Qing shook his head and said, "I've only heard of him, but he and my instructor are comrades-in-arms, so they should know each other."
He turned around and explained to his teammates, "I heard from the instructor that they are a special operations team and have been on many missions. When I went on my first mission, he came to support us as a backup."
"Brother Damu?" Lu Weiyi asked.
He had never heard Lin Yimu mention anything about the army. Only those who had seen the army after the end of the world knew about its past glory from their mouths. They knew that it was once a dazzling existence, but for various reasons, it was forced to live in a villa and engage in intrigue with women.
Lu Weiyi felt a little regretful, as if he was a brave general being detained in a large mansion.
He turned his head to look at Li Qing who was talking to someone. This man was still young, and even after going through hardships, he was still enthusiastic. He was completely different from the calm Lin Yimu, but maybe this was the right fit.
It would be nice to have such a lively person to accompany him for the rest of his life.
Lu Weiyi suddenly felt less awkward.
He really cares about Lin Yimu, so he also wants him to live a good life.
"What, what's wrong?" Li Qing noticed that Lu Weiyi was looking at her and asked tremblingly.
"It's okay." Lu Weiyi patted his shoulder and said inexplicably, "Do a good job."
Li Qing looked at him fearfully, not understanding what he meant. He turned to ask his teammates and found that most of them were just watching the fun. Even Dean was laughing unabashedly.
He wanted to ask but was afraid of offending this ancestor, so he could only think about it himself.
Not long after, Qin Xing came running over with a dozen people.
Compared to Lin Yimu's lean body, Qin Xing's body was full of tendon muscles. His physique was almost the same as Antonio's, except that his oriental features gave him a bit of a Northeastern gangster vibe.
His sharp eyes swept over several people, and finally fixed on Li Qing. He narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion, "Liming?"
"Here." Li Qing stood up and saluted instantly, "Hello, Colonel Qin."
"Hello," Qin Xing saluted in return, "Are you a member of the team coming to support us?"
"..." Li Qing was silent.
"Wang Qing's people just told me that the country no longer exists. What does that mean?" Qin Xing realized something was wrong and asked again.
Li Qing sighed, asked Qin Xing to step aside, and told him briefly about what had happened outside in the past two years.
Someone among the people following him laughed and asked, "Are you kidding?"
"What era is this? There are still zombies?"
"You've watched too many movies."
Ning Yuan just looked at them with pity, and stretched out his right hand in the air. A drop of water gradually condensed and grew a little bit bigger until it became as big as a football, and then instantly condensed into an ice ball. As he squeezed it hard, it suddenly shattered into ice chips.
As everyone was staring in astonishment, several fireballs appeared in Li Qing's hands and swayed back and forth on his fingertips. "This is supernatural power. Now some people or zombies or even animals and plants out there have developed this supernatural power, and it has brought about constant fighting. As for how many people are still alive in the country, there has been no specific statistics. Communications have only recently begun to be restored intermittently, and we have not yet contacted all bases."
There was a suffocating silence.
"How did you get here?" Qin Xing was the first to calm down.
"Major General Lu Xiao of the Northwest Theater said there is a batch of military supplies here."
"You want to come and take it away?" Qin Xing turned his gaze to the group of people in front of him and spoke calmly.
Ning Yuan didn't say anything, seeming a little embarrassed.
"Yes," Lu Weiyi said directly.
He had been using his mental power to explore the surroundings all the way here. Apart from the fault and separation of the layer, there was basically no damage here. Many military equipment were intact. He had already seen quite a few military equipment.
But there are quite a few soldiers here, and Lu Weiyi doesn't want to fall out with them. If the other party doesn't want to give it, he really has no good solution for the time being.
"This is the only place I know of that remains exactly the same as it was before the apocalypse. I hope you will try not to disrupt this balance."
He took out a mobile phone from the space, which contained some photos he had occasionally taken over the years, including some pictures of mutated animals and plants, and even some attack videos.
"Here are some pictures and videos that I kept. They can be used as exchange information for the things we take away. Any supernatural person from the outside world who enters here can kill you all. You'd better hide this place completely."
"When did I say you could take the things away?" Qin Xing's eyes were sharp.
"In fact, you don't have the strength to resist, right?" Lu Weiyi stood up, and his mental power emanated from his body, pressing down the dozen people in the room so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.
"Captain, for the sake of the instructor, don't..." Li Qing hurriedly stopped him.
"Lone wolf?" Qin Xing asked.
"This is... the instructor and my family," Li Qing said tactfully.
"Even the Lone Wolf has a son this big?" Qin Xing did not hide his surprise.
"Well, half, half son," Li Qing explained in a low voice, winking at Qin Xing as a hint.
"This batch of equipment belongs to the country. We don't have the power to execute them," Qin Xing said, and then asked, "Is Major General Lu Xiao your person in charge? Where is General Zhuang?"
"The banker conducted experiments on people with special abilities at the Kyoto base and kidnapped Major General Lu Xiao's son for the experiment... There is no banker now," Li Qing said, pointing at Lu Weiyi, "This is the captain of our base, Lu Weiyi, the nephew of Major General Lu Xiao. For some reasons, he was raised by the instructor."
"Oh, so, then I am your uncle. Come on, call me uncle." Qin Xing's nonchalant tone made Lu Weiyi feel like he was possessed by Li Zhuang.
He was so blocked that he didn't know what to say.
Qin Xing was amused by his confused expression.
Ning Yuan quietly patted Lu Weiyi on the shoulder, motioning him to come and talk. Lu Weiyi stood up and walked out.
Qin Xing took a cigarette handed to him by Ning Yuan, and saw Antonio taking Dean to the yard outside to play, and Li Zhuang also followed Lu Weiyi out of the room. Only then did he restrain his expression and carefully asked about some of the outside situation and their previous experiences.
"Time flies in the mountains. Has everything outside changed drastically?" Qin Xing took a deep puff of cigarette and said nothing for a long time.
"Supplies... I can't let you take them all away." Qin Xing has experienced a lot of things in his life. Although the news he learned today was a bit big, he quickly calmed down. Before Ning Yuan could speak, he stretched out his hand to stop him, "If what's outside is really like what you said, I need to keep the weapons to protect the people here."
"In addition to the remaining 7,000 soldiers, there are more than 8,000 villagers here. If there are mutated animals or plants like the ones in the video, these are their hope of survival."
Ning Yuan was also unwilling to have a conflict with the soldiers. He pondered for a moment and said, "In fact, the weapons before the apocalypse have very little effect on mutated animals and plants. The weapons we use to fight outside are already crystal core weapons."
Seeing that Qin Xing was puzzled, Ning Yuan handed over the crystal core gun he carried with him.
It looked no different from the guns used before the apocalypse, but as an expert, Qin Xing knew the weight was wrong as soon as he took it. He opened the magazine and saw an unfamiliar device with a crystal as shiny as a gem in the middle.
"This is a new energy weapon. It's an energy core found in mutated animals, plants, and zombies. It's named a crystal core." Ning Yuan handed an unused crystal core to Qin Xing and asked him to check it out.
After observing, Qin Xing handed it to the soldiers following him.
"If there are really mutated animals and plants attacking, the weapons you left behind will probably be of no use, or even..." Ning Yuan paused here, "They will be of no use against high-level psychics."
Seeing that several soldiers were a little unconvinced, Ning Yuan borrowed Qin Xing's service pistol and shouted to Lu Weiyi in the yard.
Then he raised his gun without hesitation and shot at the other party.
A gunshot was fired, and several soldiers stood up with screams. Even Qin Xing couldn't maintain his calm expression.
The bullet froze in front of Lu Weiyi, as if blocked by an invisible barrier.
Lu Weiyi looked over with a puzzled look.
Ning Yuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Show me a demonstration."
Lu Weiyi looked at him with a smile and called out, "Antonio".
"Here it comes!" Antonio snapped his fingers, and the bullet that was originally frozen suddenly changed direction and returned to Ning Yuan.
"Fuck, this guy really holds a grudge," Ning Yuan complained, and quickly condensed a ball of ice to wrap up the flying bullet. He reached out and held it in his hand. In an instant, the ice layer disappeared, revealing the intact bullet in the middle.
Qin Xing and the few people who followed him were already stunned, and then they looked at each other, all a little bewildered for a moment.
"Since it's useless, why did you come to ask for the equipment?" Qin Xing asked angrily.
"It is easier to make new weapons with the original ones, and our main purpose is transportation."
"Although it may not sound good to say it, but you are lucky that we are the first ones you encounter with the outside world." Ning Yuan saw the cold faces of the people opposite him and shrugged, "Out there, fighting between bases with murder and arson happens every day. If others see us here..."
