Chapter 435: Land Reclamation
Lu Weiyi had already turned two pages of the document. The interrogation date started from the day of the accident at the base, and there were interrogations every two or three days thereafter. Until the very end, someone wrote a line of words in red pen, [Superpower Transplantation].
Lu Weiyi looked up at Zhuang Mingxu in surprise, and Zhuang Mingxu nodded, "It should be the people who left Zhuang Mobai's laboratory. I asked Zhuang Mobai, and he himself said that there were some people with special abilities who left. They obeyed the laboratory and did some shady work in private."
"We made quite a big noise at the time, so they must have sensed the danger and went into hiding. Now, for some unknown reason, they are bringing out this news in exchange for benefits."
Zhuang Mingxu sighed. Too many things happened at the Kyoto base back then, one after another, and he didn't have the extra energy to ask about this matter. Zhuang Mobai didn't mention it, so he naturally ignored it. He didn't expect that he would pop up and bite them at this time.
"Has he seen that person?" Lu Weiyi asked.
Zhuang Mingxu shook his head and said with regret, "He was met by a businessman from outside who came here to do business. He asked him to cooperate with another group of people. Those people were killed at that time and the clues were lost."
"There are many ordinary people in our base. Who knows if someone will use this banner to lure them? So I think we should stop accepting residents in the future. The current population of more than 80,000 is not small, not to mention that the base relies on strength and has little to do with population."
"Okay, then you go and notify them later," Lu Weiyi said, thinking for a moment, "It may be impossible to completely eliminate it. After all, there are still many people looking for their relatives and friends. With this relationship..."
"Then we'll use the recommender method. If anything goes wrong, the recommender will be jointly responsible," Zhuang Mingxu decided promptly.

When all things were reviving, the news that the Yuebanwan base would no longer accommodate residents was broadcast to all the connected bases. In addition to the news that zombies were besieging the city again, the feedback also included the rise of mutant animals.
Many bases were attacked by mutant animals that had been hungry for a whole winter, causing heavy casualties.
At the same time, a murderous organization called the Avengers suddenly appeared. They moved silently in the base, slaughtered the entire family without any warning, and left the word revenge behind.
From north to south, forces in the Mengbei Base, Changhong Base, Pingjin Base, and Kyoto Base have been hunted to varying degrees. The forces in several bases are trembling with fear, and people keep trying to unite and track down the specific murderer.
The Yuebanwan Base, which is also to the north and not far from several bases, did not hear any news. Some people turned their suspicion to the Yuebanwan Base. Some forces then remembered the Kyoto Base and wanted to put pressure on the other side to investigate.
Lu Xiao told Zhuang Mingxu the news on the same day. A few days later, the entire family of the leader of the faction who proposed this suggestion was massacred. After that, all the forces were trembling with fear and no one mentioned it again.
The murderer who frightened them was currently sparring with his younger brother.
The two big guys were moving back and forth on the beach without any scruples, splashing sand everywhere from time to time.
The weather had just warmed up, and Qin Yu was not afraid of the cold at all. She lay on a beach lounger in a bikini and basked in the sun with sunglasses. From time to time, she heard the sound of flying sand and elegantly dodged by holding the red wine glass.
Dong Hongyuan, who was sitting next to him, had a mother and baby backpack next to him. In the open pockets, one could see a water cup, tissues and spare clothes. His head was turned 90 degrees, his eyes looking behind him.
There, Taotao was throwing a ball with Qin Nian and Dong Baobao. Three wolves, each as tall as a man, kept running around, as lively as huskies. Occasionally, the small ball would fly towards the two people uncontrollably, but would be accurately caught by one of them and thrown back.
The naive Qin Nian thought that the two were playing with him, so he threw the ball over. Baby Dong drooled and giggled, turning his little head around from time to time.
Li Zhuang leaned against the side of the pavilion, holding his mobile phone to record a video for a while, then sent it out. A Didi message came in, and he didn't know what it said, but it made him smile.
In the reclaimed land in the front yard, Xi Shi was sowing vegetables for a year's consumption. Dean held the seed box, carefully pinching a seed from time to time and asking what it was.
In the villa, Zhuang Aiyi recited the multiplication formula intermittently, accompanied by Xia Qiao's voice of correction.
If it weren't for the basin-sized crab that quickly jumped into view, the atmosphere would have been so warm and harmonious that it would have felt like a vacation.
Before the two people who were fighting could react, Dong Hongyuan had already kicked the crab back into the sea with a swift kick.
Li Zhuang stood up and said, "Tsk, can't you just grab it and have it for lunch?"
Dong Hongyuan reacted for a moment and turned back woodenly, "I'll go catch it again?"
Li Zhuang waved his hands helplessly. Qin Yu beside him didn't even take off his sunglasses and laughed. The two people next to him were interrupted by the small ball thrown at them again and stopped tacitly.
Eric held the empty water cup on the table and passed it to Qin Yu. Qin Yu snapped his fingers, and the water in the cup increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He drank it in two gulps and asked, "Do mutant animals often come ashore?"
"The mutated marine creatures are rampant in the surrounding areas. A few days ago, the hunting team said that a squid bigger than a cargo ship appeared in the nearby waters. They didn't know if it was an octopus, so the team went to hunt it." Li Zhuang picked up the fallen Qin Nian, brought him to Tao Tao, and asked them to go to the yard.
"Caught?" Eric wondered.
"No," Antonio shrugged, "but we encountered a mutant killer whale that was hundreds of meters long, and a..." He stretched out his hands and gestured towards something big, "a whale as big as an island."
"You actually managed to come back alive? That's amazing." Eric didn't know how he understood his gesture, and praised.
"It's just a coincidence that we weren't attacked," Li Zhuang frowned and pinched his brows, "Recently the team has been expelling large mutant creatures nearby, so if you want to see the captain you have to wait until night."
"If you have any problem, you can talk to Zhuang directly. He can make the decision." Antonio expressed his intention to drive people away very directly.
"It's okay, I want to consult your captain about some things related to superpowers," Eric said, looking towards the seaside, "Davis, I think fresh seafood must taste great when made into sashimi."
Antonio glanced at him, wanting to pretend he hadn't heard.
Eric immediately lamented, "Someone needs help. I traveled thousands of kilometers between several bases..."
“That was paid for supplies” Antonio didn’t want to accept the favor.
"Can I be bribed with supplies?" Eric's teasing look made Antonio grit his teeth for a long time, but he finally stood up and resigned himself to his fate to go fishing for seafood.
Fortunately, mutant seafood has been rushing to the shore recently, so it is not difficult to catch them. He got up and walked around the middle island, and successfully brought back five crabs, three scallops and two mutant fish.
Antonio put the things in the kitchen, and as soon as he went out, he saw a little shrimp as thick as a child's waist bending its body in the yard, intending to attack Dong Baobao.
"Baby——!" Dong Hongyuan shouted loudly and ran over quickly.
Antonio also quickly swung out the flying blade, but the distance was too far. Seeing Dong Baobao turned her head after hearing the sound, the shrimp-like leg with the barbed wire was about to scratch her face.
Countless green branches wrapped around Dong Baobao and pulled him to the side. At the same time, the shrimp that had jumped up seemed to hit an invisible barrier, bounced back and fell to the ground.
Antonio neatly cut it in half. Dong Hongyuan had already hugged Dong Baobao and asked with a trembling voice, "Does it hurt anywhere?"
"what happens?"
"What's wrong?"
Dean and Xi Shi put their things down and ran over here.
"There are mutant shrimps in the yard," Antonio pointed to the two shrimps on the ground and said helplessly, "Fortunately, no one was hurt."
"I was attacked by mudskippers in the vegetable garden a few days ago. We are surrounded by islands and there is no shelter. I'm afraid the children won't be able to play in the yard in the future." Xi Shi grabbed a handful of handmade candies from his trouser pocket and gave them to the three children.
Dong Baobao was the youngest and had no idea what was going on. He took the candy, giggled, put one in his mouth, and then tried to give one to Dong Hongyuan.
"I seem to feel... mental power." Eric walked over slowly and glanced at the two children before finally fixing his gaze on Qin Nian.
Taotao noticed his gaze and immediately grabbed Qin Nian, took two steps back, turned around and ran towards the villa, "Let's go, find our brother."
"He was attacked by zombies last winter, and then he developed super powers," Antonio covered up for Qin Nian calmly, "The team leader teaches him every day."
"Antonio, can you put up a metal mesh around the coast?" Li Zhuang changed the subject, "It's almost impossible for them not to leave the yard."
"I can try," Antonio said, turning to look at Li Zhuang, and asked doubtfully, "Did the captain ask you to explore the nearby sea area and come up with a way to fill the sea before he left?"
Li Zhuang raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
"You forgot, haha, you're in trouble," Antonio gloated, "I don't know what new skills poor Therapist Xu will have to learn."
Dean's face showed pity and a hint of relief. He said, "Poor Healer Xu," and immediately took out his cell phone to send a message.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhuang's cell phone rang, and Xu Yi's undisguised roar came from the other end, "Li Zhuang, you dare to let Lu Weiyi torment me, just go back to your room--".
"Wow," Qin Yu said in an exaggerated tone, "I didn't expect that you, Zhuangzhuang, don't live in your own room?"
Li Zhuang ignored the amused looks around him and walked towards Beidao. While reminding Qin Yu to help with the cooking, he called Gu Qingyue to find help.
"You just said land reclamation. What sea are you filling?" Eric was not fooled by this.
"It's not a big deal. A lot of large mutant creatures have suddenly increased in the surrounding waters this year. Fishing boats out to sea for hunting have encountered them several times. A while ago, a ship was capsized and several crew members died. The base wants to fill the depth of the surrounding waters. If the sea water is shallower, large creatures will naturally not be able to get through."
