Chapter 424: Uses of Superpowers
Lu Weiyi looked at him in confusion, and listened to his explanation, "This time is enough for our base to stack up a few more S-series teams, which will increase its strength to a higher level and prevent them from making any small moves."
"Okay, then I will notify each of their teams later to bring at most ten people and ask them to hand in the crystal cores in advance?" After Ning Yuan finished speaking, he asked about the arrangements for Li Qing and the others.
"Xiao Yi, take them to Pingjin City to hunt zombies." By then, they will all be family, and it won't cause trouble if they want to bring back some zombies.
After dinner, everyone was busy. Lin Yimu and Zhuang Mingxu took Lu Weiyi to South Island first. Many factories and warehouses had been built here to store coal.
Lu Weiyi put the collected coal into the warehouse one by one, and the rows of houses were filled to the brim. "I estimate it will be enough for our base to use for two to three years."
"We still have to hurry, after all, we are going to someone else's territory to steal things," Zhuang Mingxu said happily but rationally. "This time you lead the team out to see if you can capture some water zombies and then find a way to arrange them to the water supply point of the base. This will free up a large number of water-based psychics, and then let them see if they can use their psychic powers to clean the coal directly, and solve the sewage discharge problem at the same time."
"..." Lin Yimu felt that the couple were too cruel. Thinking that Ning Yuan would be the first to be affected by the experiment, he silently mourned for Ning Yuan for one minute.
However, when he saw the various tools and vehicles he brought back from Qin Xing, he was excited but also shed tears for his old comrade.
"He asked me to give you this letter." The excited voices of his comrades around him, coupled with the various car models lined up in front of him, brought Lu Weiyi's good mood to the peak. He felt guilty towards Qin Xing and hurriedly handed the letter to Lin Yimu.
Lin Yimu carefully opened the letter and read it twice. His eyes welled up with redness. He met Lu Weiyi's inquiring gaze and explained, "He asked me to take care of the soldiers who were sent here."
"Then you can arrange it. As long as it doesn't leak the base's secrets," Lu Weiyi was willing to give him this face.
After confirming the supplies, Lu Weiyi felt that he had accomplished another big thing.
Zhuang Mingxu wanted to take advantage of the good weather to quickly get a batch of coal out and make it into coal briquettes to supply the base for use this winter. Lin Yimu had this experience and explained to him the materials needed.
Lu Weiyi was bored and wandered around West Island.
His title as base commander allowed him to go wherever he wanted, and even the soldiers on duty asked him if he wanted to lead the way.
Lu Weiyi waved his hand and walked half a circle before he saw Luo Feifei, who had come back with him yesterday, being led towards the North Island. He immediately remembered that Lu Xiao only had one healing psychic.
"Where are you going?" Lu Weiyi stopped and asked.
"Report to the team leader, Commander Lin said that Dr. Xu was not feeling well today, so he asked Dr. Luo to go to the hospital and work for a day." Following Luo Feifei were Lin Mo and Liu Yang from the third team, who were obviously Luo Feifei's protectors.
"I'm just going back, so I'll go with you." Lu Weiyi followed the three people and said when he saw Luo Feifei was a little restrained, "These two people are here to protect your safety here. There are not many medical staff in the base, so we usually arrange people to protect you when you go out. You can tell them if you need anything."
"Okay, thank you, Commander Lu," Luo Feifei said politely, "but there is no other healing department under Major General Lu at the Kyoto base. You see, I..."
“When can you upgrade?”
"The finishing touch can be done at any time," Luo Feifei said hurriedly.
"Okay, then you can help Xu Yi on duty today. After you send him back to Xi Island after get off work, come find me. We will try our best to upgrade successfully tonight."
"Okay, thank you, thank you, Captain Lu."
The four of them said goodbye at the island bridge. Lu Weiyi thought about the upgrade situation of ordinary people, waved at Lin Mo, and handed him a backpack, "Here are the potions prepared in the laboratory. Let her drink them all before leaving get off work."
"You may feel a little uncomfortable, but that's normal."
Lin Mo opened it, took a look, and put it away neatly without asking any questions.
"Be careful not to let anything touch it, this thing hasn't been put into use yet," Lu Weiyi warned.
"Don't worry, Captain, no one will be able to touch us," Lin Mo assured.
The four of them said goodbye, and Lu Weiyi turned back to the central island. It was only around ten o'clock, and Xi Shi was already picking vegetables to prepare lunch.
Qin Nian was playing in the yard, surrounded by three wolves about one meter tall. They were Zhuang Wukong, Xiaobai and Wanshida who were brought back earlier.
From time to time, she would make way for him as he walked unsteadily, or use her tail to support him when he became unsteady and was about to fall, just like a babysitter.
Yin Jin helped to clean up, looking up from time to time, and saw that he didn't look afraid at all. This scene must have happened many times.
"Brother Xi, where are those two?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"I follow Xia Qiao to the room for classes. Every morning we have cultural classes, learning Chinese and math. In the afternoon we go to West Island for physical education classes." Xi Shi laughed as he spoke, "Our Ai Yi and Tao Tao are smart. They get 100 points on the mock tests every day."
Lu Weiyi had no idea about all this, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. Xi Shi had already given him an excuse, "You and Mingxu are busy, and I'll take care of you. I'm also responsible for Xiaoxia, and the study plan I've made for you two is very good."
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Xi. What are we having for lunch?"
"How about some cold noodles? Hand-pulled noodles, so chewy, and some cold dishes to go with it. It just so happens that I soaked some seafood in sauce yesterday, so they're now tasty." Xi Shi was full of energy.
"Okay," Lu Weiyi stepped forward to help him wash the cucumbers, "Isn't it too troublesome to prepare meals for so many people in our family? How about finding two people to cook for us?"
Xiong Jie is now managing the earth-type mutants to carry out some basic base construction. The income of thirty crystal cores every day allows him to take care of Xi Shi easily, but Xi Shi still chooses to be busy every day.
"No need, I don't have anything to do every day. We just come back to eat in the morning and evening. You go out from time to time, and we all have lunch in the cafeteria. Usually there are only two or three of us, so it's not a big deal at all." Xi Shi waved his hand to refuse.
Thinking about the time they were on missions this year, they were rarely at home. Lu Weiyi didn't insist and told him to come if he was too busy. He raised his eyes and saw the curtains in Li Zhuang's room on the second floor were still drawn, which was strange. "Li Zhuang is in the room?"
"Xiao Xu is sleeping," Xi Shi said vaguely.
Lu Weiyi raised his eyebrows, and when he thought of the A-level healing system, his mind began to run wild again, thinking about how to "utilize" it more reasonably.
Yin Jin, who was standing by, saw this scene and whispered to Xi Shi, "Xiao Xu doesn't know yet that he might be in big trouble."
Xi also covered his mouth and laughed, "Their ideas about art are always different."
That night, after Lu Weiyi helped Luo Feifei to upgrade successfully, Ning Yuan also quickly collected the crystal cores handed in by each team and prepared to lead the team away.
Lu Weiyi also quickly pointed out the base troops that had followed him and took them to Pingjin City.
He was on a mission to train team members and capture zombies with special abilities. Even though he had a special ability jammer, he didn't use it. He just let them fight desperately.
After working hard day and night for two months, three of the four team leaders of the base army were successfully upgraded, leaving only Zheng Jun, who had a low starting point.
However, the several team leaders who followed Ning Yuan out of the base have all completed their upgrades, but they owe the base a lot of crystal core debts.
But among the bases that have completed the national statistics, their base accounts for twenty-two of the twenty-five S-level mutants.
The reputation they had gained attracted more and more people to join their base. When winter came again, the population of the entire base had reached 100,000, of which 30,000 were people with special abilities, more than ten times the number in the past.
As the number of people increased, management became more complicated, and the responsibilities of team members were redistributed.
Except for Li Dongsheng and Bai Miao who have fixed positions, Gu Qingyue no longer goes out unless there are special circumstances. He is assigned to the drinking water department of the base and is responsible for the water supply situation of the entire base.
Xiong Jie is still busy with the construction of the base. The increase in population, houses, streets and underground pipeline facilities keeps him very busy.
Wu Yue was transferred to the government and established a union of superpowers, which was dedicated to managing the growing number of superpower teams under it. Among them, the team that successfully upgraded to produce S-level superpowers gradually became the backbone of the team.
When the temperature starts to drop, it means another year of hibernation is approaching. Even with a large population, it cannot change the fixed materials planted at the base in early spring.
Their lives are still tight, but compared to last year when they were barely starving, this year they can already guarantee enough food and clothing.
The increase in population has led to the diversification of the base's economy. Last year, the base was required to grow cotton and make clothes in a one-stop service. This year, some psychics bought seeds themselves to start production, which greatly alleviated the pressure on the base.
It was a snowy day when we started distributing winter supplies. Just like last year, people gathered in the square in front of the government building. The peaceful lives of ordinary people made them forget the danger outside. They talked to each other with smiles on their faces.
At the same time, the government building was preparing to hold a conference for people with special abilities.
Lu Weiyi, Li Qing and Li Yan hurriedly walked towards the government building. Passers-by made way for him. Some playing children chased each other and bumped into his legs, falling on their buttocks. They looked up at him blankly with their cheeks red from the high altitude cold.
"Are you hurt from the fall?" Lu Weiyi picked him up and brushed the snow off his butt.
"Ji... Ji..." The child wrapped like a ball pointed at Lu Weiyi and laughed, "Chief Ji".
Lu Weiyi took a look and recognized that this was Baby Dong from Dong Hongyuan's family. He had occasionally passed by and delivered milk powder to her several times.
The one-year-old child has just learned to walk. His father dotes on him and raises him to be as delicate and graceful as a piece of jade even though he is as skinny as a monkey now.
Just as he picked the man up, Dong Hongyuan's voice rang out in front of him, "Base Commander"
"Yeah." Lu Weiyi reached out and touched Dong Baobao's cheek. Although they had begun to adapt to the cold, the child's tender skin still showed signs of frostbite. "Yin Jin has some frostbite ointment for children. Go get some."
