Chapter 436: Seriously Injured
After Antonio finished explaining, he saw that there was no one else around and asked in a low voice, "What do you want this time?"
As soon as Eric smiled, Antonio said seriously, "Be serious."
It was inconvenient to talk about what happened at the base before, so Antonio recommended Eric and others to the team. They came out of the oil island late and had low abilities. Even though they had made some progress by fighting outside, their level was still insufficient compared to others.
Especially since Eric is a spiritual type, he needs to examine the crystal core to upgrade. Antonio is thinking about him, thinking that it would be easier and safer to purify the crystal core with the base.
Lu Weiyi used abundant supplies to help him build a hunting team of superpowers. Now the cooperation between the two parties is quite pleasant, but he did not expect Eric to suddenly visit him this time.
"I want to increase the exchange volume of supernatural crystal cores." Eric lit a hand-rolled cigarette and saw Dong Hongyuan walking away with Dong Baobao in his arms. He looked at the boy who looked like a daughter slave and smiled.
"How much has it been before?" In order to avoid suspicion, Antonio was unwilling to get involved. He only acted as a matchmaker and never cared about the specifics.
"Five thousand a month, one to two exchange rate"
The maximum number of purified crystal cores that an A-level mutant can absorb per day is between twenty and forty. This number is small enough, and it is absolutely impossible to develop a team. Antonio did not say whether it is possible or not, but only said, "The ratio is very low."
"Not enough" Eric bleeds.
"That's all?"
"I also want to ask about weapons transactions."
"The possibility is not high. Our base has traded crystal core weapons with Kyoto. If your side shows up, it would be equivalent to telling all bases that we are related." It would be obvious that they were the ones who had people killed in other bases.
"You think they don't know?"
Antonio spread his hands and said, "There is a difference between evidence and speculation."
"You've been with them for so long that you've picked up some of this country's... characteristics," Eric commented.
Antonio laughed, "Maybe it's what they say, 'Birds of a feather flock together.'" He saw Dean carrying a bamboo basket and a small stick in the yard, knocking around looking for mutant creatures, and added, "I like it very much."
The two were silent for a while, and Antonio suggested, "You can discuss it with Zhuang first. He agrees that there is basically no problem with the captain's side."
Eric was still thinking about this possibility when Antonio's cell phone rang. It was the base commander Zhuang Mingxu.
"Antonio, a few teams have come from the Pingjin base, saying they want to thank you for your help in the city center. Everyone else has gone out, and it will take Wu Yue about an hour to get back. I can't get away right now. Do you have time to treat them to a meal?"
These teams of psychics who come here representing the base or a certain force must either be represented by Zhuang Mingxu himself or a team of these people. Otherwise, in this era where strength matters, it is easy for the other party to feel that they are looked down upon.
Antonio turned to look at Eric, who made a together gesture.
"Okay, I'll go over now."
The people who came to the Pingjin base this time were Tang Bai, Zhou Xue and Lin Ya. These three people who had cooperated with Yuebanwan in the past have now established their own forces and are doing very well.
The main purpose of their visit this time is to deliver the crystal core.
Tang Bai and Zhou Xue had received help from the Yuebanwan base in the city center before, but many people were hurt due to misunderstandings at the time. Lu Weiyi later said that they did not need to repay the debt and just regarded it as compensation for the impulsive members of the base.
Although Tang Bai and Zhou Xue were unwilling to accept the fact, they were in a weak position at the time and still needed the other party's help to get back to the base, so they did not care about it. After returning to the base and suppressing the restless forces together, they thought that the matter was over. However, not long after, a bloodbath occurred in the base.
Afterwards, news came from several surrounding bases. As soon as Kyoto's side politely rejected the offer, Tang Bai immediately knew that Yuebanwan was settling scores.
The relationship between Lu Weiyi and Lu Xiao was not concealed at all. Relying on the weapons and purification crystal cores in their base, the Flame Team was restrained everywhere in the beginning, but now even the military and police forces have to give them some face.
The Kyoto Base has always wanted to act as the big brother among all the major bases. After resuming contact, it has been very concerned about the affairs of each base. Its current attitude can only mean that the other party knows the person behind the scenes but does not intend to care.
Of course, it may also be that we can’t afford it.
As soon as Tang Bai and Zhou Xue found out about this, they immediately prepared a lot of crystal cores, and under the pretext of repayment, came over to establish a relationship.
As for Lin Ya, she was a bit unlucky. She had directly taken over several teams under Menghu. At that time, there was no leader. She took the initiative and stood up, and some people obeyed her for a while. But as time went on, it was inevitable that some people would turn their backs on her. This time, the participants happened to include people from his team.
I don’t know who dealt with these people from other forces, but Lin Ya did it herself, just because the other party took a controller and asked her to prove whether she was still a "friendly" partner with the Yuebanwan Base.
Even though she felt that the other party was not very friendly, there was indeed something in her chest. Except for the presence of it when it was installed, there was no sound after that. But that one time was enough to make her remember it forever.
Lin Ya also had the idea of cleaning up some people, so she could do it herself and disguise herself as one of the other party, killing two birds with one stone.
On the one hand, I came here to prove my innocence, and on the other hand, I also wanted to ask about my upgrade.
People on both sides secretly left under the pretext of collecting supplies. When they met at the gate of the base, they each told each other the direction they were going. Finally, they bumped into each other at the gate of Yuebanwan base, and it was somewhat awkward for them to see each other again.
When Antonio and Eric walked in, three people in the reception room were drinking tea. Even though they each had their own thoughts, they were still chatting politely.
Seeing the two people coming in, the three of them stood up with smiles on their faces. As a result, Lin Ya suddenly started coughing violently, attracting everyone's attention.
"Beautiful lady, are you okay?" Eric asked gentlemanly.
"It's okay, it's okay, thank you for your concern," Lin Ya responded quickly, standing a little further away from him.
She had a very deep impression of this man. He appeared in her bedroom inexplicably. Even though she didn't see his face, his figure and the dangerous look under the guise of a gentleman left a deep impression on her.
After she cleared out the team under the other party's name, she was still worried about being retaliated against and had already thought about how to deal with it, but she ended up meeting the other party here openly.
Several people looked at the two of them without saying anything. It was already time for dinner, so after a few pleasantries, Antonio took everyone directly to the restaurant.
It was not until after the meal that the person was handed over to Wu Yue, who was in charge of the reception, that the two returned to the middle island and asked about Lin Ya.
Eric said something roughly and Antonio glanced at him and said, "I just saw her flirting with you."
"I am attractive," Eric did not deny.
"Aren't you with Qin Yu?"
"We are partners."
Partners in every sense of the word.
Antonio understood what he meant by looking at his expression. He had experienced such a life before, so he didn't say anything for a while.
That afternoon, Lu Weiyi, who had been out, returned with his team. The freighter's fence was folded into a mess, and the entire hull was severely deformed as if it had been gripped by a giant object. The containers on the ship were broken into several pieces.
Xu Yi and Dean, who had received the news in advance, were already waiting at the dock. As soon as the boat docked, the two were the first to get on board.
Lu Weiyi sat on the ground, his clothes were wet and stuck to his body, his hair was half dry, and Ning Yuan, who was lying in front of him, was mumbling something, but he couldn't hear what he was saying. His eyes were already straight, and the part of his chest that he was covering was sunken, as if it could be pierced at any time.
Xu Sa was shirtless, and the exposed skin looked like something had sucked away a layer of skin, leaving circles of varying sizes. Some muscles were mostly gone, revealing bloody broken muscle fibers. With one hand he was tightly grasping the unconscious Liu Rui lying in front of him, and with the other hand he was holding an arm, which looked like it had been torn off alive.
Liu Rui in front of him was missing an arm, his clothes were burnt by the flames and the edges were charred, and his whole body was red as if he had erythroderma.
Gu Qingji was lying on the ground on the other side. His already slender body looked as if it had been pinched. His bones were concave and protruding at a strange angle, and his figure seemed narrower.
The remaining crew members were not seriously injured, but they all looked terrified and frightened.
"What happened to you?" Antonio asked as he saw the situation on the boat. Dean and Xu Yi were already running towards the people who were in the worst condition.
"We were attacked." Lu Weiyi's voice was hoarse. He turned his head and saw that his face was pale and there was even cold sweat on his forehead.
Antonio looked again and found that he was not sitting on the ground, but he was twisted into a ball at a strange angle from the thighs down, like two rotten noodles.
Antonio knew the situation was not good when he saw the tragic scene. Lu Weiyi was an SS-level mutant, and he had never suffered so much fighting against zombies of the same level. He did not dare to delay and asked someone to take a few crew members down to inquire about the situation. He instructed the two healers, "Save lives first."
"I know. Notify the orthopedic surgeon and prepare for surgery." Xu Yi didn't care about the situation. He took the scalpel and cut open Ning Yuan's stomach. A pool of blood, feces and minced meat immediately flowed out.
"Uh... um..." Without anesthesia, Ning Yuan didn't have the strength to cry out in pain.
When everyone saw his shattered internal organs, burst intestines, and bones embedded in his body, they no longer cared about the strange smell in the air.
It was impossible to reshape the internal organs in a short time. Xu Yi swiftly removed the damaged parts, repaired the cross-section, and then put the organs back in place. People around him were stunned as they watched him pull at several meters of intestine with his hands, and from time to time instruct the water-based psychic who was helping him to clean it and put it back into the abdominal cavity.
