Chapter 425: A Show of Power
"Okay." Dong Hongyuan remained silent like a piece of wood, but he had been tanned a lot from going out fishing at the base this year, and his body became stronger. He took Dong Baobao in his hand. The child was like a little toy in his arms, struggling hard, but he pressed him down lightly with one hand.
Lu Weiyi was about to leave when he heard Dong Hongyuan ask, "There are no clothes for babies in the base. Can you give me some of Aiyi's old clothes?"
Lu Weiyi's eyebrows jumped. Dong Baobao and Qin Nian were the two children conceived after the end of the base. They had always been treated well by the base. They all drank milk powder until they were one year old, and they never lacked clothes.
Especially Li Zhuang and Dong Hongyuan took good care of her and even adopted Dong Baobao as their daughter. They would send her a portion of whatever they had, so it was impossible for anything to be missing.
Besides, Dong Hongyuan would go to Li Zhuang when he had problems, and would never ask an acquaintance like himself for anything.
"I have them in my space, you can go over there and pick a few," Lu Weiyi pointed to the lobby of the government building.
"Okay." Dong Hongyuan held the child and avoided the crowd before speaking. "A few days ago, someone claiming to be from the Biological Research Institute came and wanted to take the baby away for examination. I didn't let them. They wanted to rob me, but I beat them up and they ran away. Brother Zhuang is not in the base, and I can't contact him."
"The LAN signal doesn't cover the oil island." Their base has now repaired a signal tower, and mobile phones can be used in the base. However, if the weather gets colder, the phones will automatically shut down and cannot be turned on.
Lu Weiyi thought about what he said and asked, "Does Yin Jin know about this?" Yin Jin is now in charge of the affairs of the children's home, and his workplace is not far from where Dong Hongyuan lives.
"I didn't ask, I just tried it out and he didn't know." Dong Hongyuan is very vigilant and won't talk about trust with others easily.
Qin Nian was left on the central island to play with the two children at home. Occasionally, when he went out, he was followed by three wolves that were almost as tall as a man. The central island seemed to have no defenses, but there were superpower jammers installed around it. Each of them carried a shielding device, so people with superpowers would not be in any good if they got close, and no one ever thought of paying attention there.
"I understand. I'll have someone investigate privately," Lu Weiyi said, taking out some winter clothes for the children from the space.
Dong Hongyuan lowered his head and carefully selected, even gesturing on Dong Baobao from time to time, "I fell asleep on the yacht last Monday. Someone rented a yacht to go out to sea, and I accidentally heard them holding a meeting to plot the base's purification crystal cores and energy jammers, wanting to create unrest."
Li Qing paused as he was helping, "Do you know which team he is from?"
"I don't know, they have special abilities, I didn't dare to expose them."
"Okay, I'll be vigilant." Wu Yue mentioned at home some time ago that there were constant conflicts among the psychics in the base. In addition, each base had made many attempts this year, so Lu Weiyi was not surprised.
"You must protect the children," he warned, and took Li Qing and Li Yan into the government building.
Dong Hongyuan slowly picked up the clothes and returned to the team. When someone who wanted to take advantage of him asked him about his daughter, he replied coldly, "My daughter is young and needs a lot of care."
The base's care for children has always been limited by age. Everyone looked at Baby Dong who was being held by him and did not ask any more questions for a while.
After entering the government building, Li Qing asked implicitly, "What do you think?"
"Normal" After all, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. This year, spies sent by other bases were caught. They are guarding such a huge treasure, but they have not shared it with the various forces in the base. It is surprising that no one has stirred up trouble.
"They are so damn idle. Now that the zombies have begun to besiege various bases, they still have the mind to plot against humans," Li Yan gritted his teeth.
Yes, so sometimes humans deserve their extinction.
But the upper class deserves what they get, and it is indeed compensated by the lives of the lower class.
Lu Weiyi ignored those things. Li Qing asked worriedly, "Who do you think might be involved?"
“Anyone is possible”
"Those ones?" Li Qing was referring to several teams at the base, which had become the backbone of the area because of the presence of S-level psychics.
"One hundred percent profit can make people ignore everything." Lu Weiyi maintains a bottom line for himself, but does not have any expectations of human nature.
Seeing that they had arrived at the conference room, the three of them stopped talking.
All the teams in the conference room have taken their positions, even Zhuang Mingxu has already reached the podium, leaving only Lu Weiyi.
"Sorry, I'm late," Lu Weiyi said politely as he sat next to Zhuang Mingxu.
Li Qing and Li Yan found Ning Yuan's seat and sat next to him.
"There are two main topics for today's meeting. The first is the arrangements for this winter." Lu Weiyi notified the agreed plan as if he was endorsing it, and was about to talk about the more important second point.
Suddenly someone asked, "Captain Lu, I think it's inappropriate to close the base in winter?"
The management of the base has always been separated between political affairs and military affairs. Just as Zhuang Mingxu said at the beginning, while he firmly grasped the political affairs in his own hands, he trained a group of skilled police officers to assist in the management of the entire base.
Lu Weiyi took the military power into his own hands. Except for a few base military teams that he directly managed, the rest of the ordinary soldiers all obeyed Lin Yimu's management and were responsible for all aspects of the base security.
The psychics within the base must also accept the management and deployment of the Psychic Association when necessary. This arrangement allows them to have full control over the entire base.
Regarding the unification of bases like this, decisions have always been made by the upper echelons and followed by the lower echelons. He is the first person to raise questions about this.
Lu Weiyi took a look and saw a unfamiliar face, so he knew that it was a team that had just arrived this year.
"Which team are you from?"
"Spark Force".
Zhuang Mingxu knew that he didn't know, so he flipped over the information of the various superpower teams at hand and handed it to him.
There are more than 500 people in the team, 131 of them are psychics. The captain is Zhang Hang, who is an A-level fire element. He has been here for four months, and apart from some minor fights, he has not made any contribution to the base.
"Are you representing yourself or all members of the team?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"... on behalf of our team" Zhang Hang felt that something was not right and could only use as many people as possible to increase the leverage.
"Is there anyone who has the same idea as him?" Lu Weiyi looked around and found that there were indeed many unfamiliar faces.
This year he either led a team outside to improve their abilities, or went to a farther place to collect supplies. The total time he spent in the base was less than a month. He mostly rested during the few days he was back. He only mentioned these things to his subordinates to get a glimpse of the situation, but he did not communicate with everyone in detail.
Everyone in the conference room looked at each other, but no one took the initiative.
"Very good." Lu Weiyi looked at Lin Yimu, "Commander Lin, Xu Chu."
The two "base commanders" stood up and looked over.
"Go and count all the members of the Spark Team, including people and supplies, convert the contribution points into crystal cores and return them to them, and expel them all from the base before six o'clock. Any team that asks for mercy will be dealt with together."
Amid the uproar in the room, Lu Weiyi said expressionlessly, "Let the signalman send a notice to each base, and post a few big-character posters in the base. The Spark Team is disobeying the base management and attempting to shake the relationship between the base leadership and the Psychic Team. All supplies and crystal cores will be returned, and the money and goods will be paid off, and they will be expelled from the base."
"Yes!" Lin Yimu responded first.
"Yes," Xu Chu also said.
Everyone present was so shocked by this scene that they didn't know what to say. Zhang Hang, who had a righteous look on his face just now, saw a person with superpowers walking towards him and said, "Wait a minute."
"Captain Lu, I am..."
"No buts. This is not the time before the apocalypse when it comes to democracy, fairness and justice. If these two years of the apocalypse haven't taught you what to say and when, then consider it as a lesson that Yuebanwan Base has taught you." Lu Weiyi used his supernatural powers to suppress Zhang Hang and had him taken away from the meeting room.
"The same goes for everyone here. The base management regulations you signed the first time you entered the base clearly state at the bottom that you are just renting here and need to fully obey the deployment of the base management when necessary, including but not limited to obeying the base's coordination arrangements and working with the base to fight against zombies."
"The Yuebanwan base is second to none among all the bases in the country in terms of preferential welfare and fee policies. The management will protect the safety of this base so that you will have a stable rear base when you are out. What you need to do is to assist and cooperate in fighting against all situations that are not conducive to the survival of the base. While you enjoy yourself, we also hope that you know what not to do."
Lu Weiyi looked at everyone present with an already cold gaze, and added word by word, "You shouldn't think about it."
"Don't be naive and think that the disaster will not affect your family. Yuebanwan's punishment principle has always been that if one person makes a mistake, the entire team will be punished. I hope everyone will think carefully before doing anything."
"I don't mind spending money and resources to hunt down anyone in each base." The crystal cores and weapons that the base now has are his confidence. "Any other questions?"
"without……"
"there is none left"
"No!"
Lu Weiyi then began to notify the second item, "The second point, through the contact with various bases, statistics found that since September, zombies have launched large-scale collective attacks on bases. The first base to be attacked was the Nanzuo base located in the southernmost part of the country. So far, the Nanzuo base has been breached and there has been no news."
"In October, zombies appeared and besieged the Xinghai Base. It suffered five attacks in a month and a half. The number of zombies was counted at around 50,000 in the first attack. The number of zombies increased successively and reached 300,000 half a month ago. The Xinghai Base and the surrounding bases barely survived, losing more than half of their population."
"A week ago, the Pingchuan base came under attack. The initial statistics put the number of people at around 100,000. Because we were prepared in advance, the psychics killed them day and night for two days and retreated five days ago."
After this news came out, no one in the conference room paid attention to what had just happened.
