Chapter 439: Intense Reproduction
Lu Weiyi immediately thought of Xi Shi who was full of energy all day, "I thought it was the effect of the mutant fruit."
"I was just thinking about it before, but this time when I saw Mingxu recruiting earth-type mutants with great fanfare, I thought we might as well take this opportunity to form an engineering team composed of earth-type mutants to specialize in building underground passages connecting various bases."
Lu Weiyi looked at him, pursed his lips and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, you don't want us to pay for this, do you?"
"Haha, of course not," Lu Xiao pressed him with his big hand, "Which base wants to join, which base wants to take the crystal core, there is no such thing as coming here for nothing."
"That's good," Lu Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief. He thought his uncle was selfless enough to encourage him to take risks. "Then I'll go back and discuss it with Zhuang Mingxu."
With the careful care of Lu Xiao's people, Lu Weiyi recovered almost completely in no time. With him in charge, the tension of his teammates was relieved a lot.
A few bored people even followed Lu Xiao's team out to clean up the zombies.
"Captain, guess what we found out during this outing?" Lin Mo came back and asked mysteriously.
"What?"
"Crystal core weapon" Seeing him turn away and look uninterested, Lin Mo quickly pulled him back and added, "It's a crystal core weapon developed by the Kyoto base itself."
"How powerful is it?" Antonio immediately became interested.
"The power is okay, but the consumption of crystal cores is high. We can fire one crystal core several times, but they have very few. Also, I heard that the barrel will bend easily due to heat, and it will explode if you shoot too many times."
Antonio glanced at Lu Weiyi and felt that it was similar to when they first researched it. "I heard that their factory is still manufacturing pre-apocalyptic shells. They invested a lot of these weapons to assist in clearing out the zombies before."
“How effective is it?”
"They are definitely not as good as us, but they can still play a supporting role. Not all zombies are high-level zombies. They are still clearing out the zombies in Kyoto."
"Indeed, most of the teams here have stopped collecting supplies from outside, unless they are scientific research equipment or machinery that are offered as bounties by some bases. The rest are either cleaning up zombies or switching to business."
"Isn't this normal? It's been four years, what else is out there that hasn't expired?"
Li Yan's words successfully silenced everyone.
Yes, it’s already the fourth year since the apocalypse.
We have been struggling for so long without realizing it, and a new order is slowly being established.
After staying at the Kyoto base for more than half a month, Ning Yuan finally rebuilt one of his kidneys with the efforts of the two treatment departments, and was out of danger.
Paying special attention to his daily diet made him lose a lot of weight. He looked weak all over, without anyone telling him. Fortunately, his supernatural powers were completely restored.
However, Xu Yi and Liu Rui were able to sit up with difficulty after being exposed to various antidotes.
After discussing with everyone, Lu Weiyi decided to return to the base.
The return plane was attacked by mutant birds again, but this time with Lu Weiyi's help, the situation became a little easier.
Not long after the plane entered the center of Pingjin City, the sound of gunshots for help was heard in the city. Looking down from the cabin, it was impossible to tell whose team it was. One could only see that the other side seemed to have been attacked by some animal.
Just when a few people asked Lu Weiyi if he could help, a horn sounded from below.
"Base Commander, help me—"
The first animals startled by the explosion in the silent wilderness were the carnivores. From high above, one could see animals moving through the woods and running in the direction of the sound.
Li Yan covered his forehead and looked at Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi waved his hand downwards, indicating to lower the car a little, "Let them get in the car and help them leave."
"Got it," Lin Sheng responded and opened the window to notify the people below.
Li Yan fired a shot in the direction the animal was running, and Lu Weiyi's mental power rushed downward, "It looks like a rat... or a weasel?"
The following situation also appeared in the eyes. There were densely packed saw-toothed animals the size of washbasins, with two large front teeth as big as palms, which were fat and bumped into people. If they knocked them down, they would start to bite them.
There were those with powerful superpowers that could not be approached, and then there was a being that came out of nowhere and suddenly approached, releasing a gas, and then fled in an instant. In a short while, the people who inhaled the gas began to become dazed. Some people just smiled foolishly and did not move, while some people started to attack randomly as if they were out of control.
After Lu Weiyi used his mental power to rescue them, he protected them and walked towards the car. When they arrived, they saw that their car was full of potholes and the tires were gone.
Lu Weiyi sighed. He couldn't just leave hundreds of people alone, so he had to send three trucks down, use the little green branches to throw everyone on, and escort them out of Pingjin City.
The Yueban Bay base looked almost the same as when we left, but what was particularly obvious was the dense crowds of people working on the frozen sea.
The plane landed directly on West Island. As soon as the cabin door opened, people who had been waiting came up to greet it.
"Captain Lu, Captain Zhuang has already arranged a hospital and he is waiting for you there. Please go there for a check-up."
"Okay." Lu Weiyi moved away from the cabin door and asked them to carry Xu Sa, Liu Rui and Ning Yuan to the car. The car then drove quickly towards Beidao Hospital.
At the hospital entrance, Gu Qingyue kept walking back and forth, Li Zhuang leaned against the wall with his arms folded and his eyes closed, and Zhuang Mingxu stood in the middle of the main entrance with a bold move.
After not seeing each other for a while, these three people looked much thinner, and there was even a hint of fatigue between their brows.
"Xiao Yi" the car door opened, Zhuang Mingxu immediately went to greet him, looked him up and down to make sure he was okay, then held him tightly, and looked into the car, "He'll be fine."
Ning Yuan waved away the people who wanted to lift him, and got out of the car tremblingly. He looked weak all over, but he waved his hand heroically and said, "I'm alive and well."
Xu Sa and Liu Rui did not look depressed at all. They were lifted down from their wheelchairs and greeted people in a casual manner.
Gu Qingji had already stepped forward and hugged Gu Qingyue in his arms, speaking in a low voice.
"Let's go up and check it out. We'll develop a treatment plan ourselves," Zhuang Mingxu said, patting Xu Sa on the shoulder. "Don't think too much. We have all kinds of scientific researchers in our base now. We will have a way."
"It's okay, Brother Mingxu, I'll just consider it as early retirement. Lu Xiaoyi said he would take care of our pension," Xu Sa joked with a few people with a smile.
The doctors and testing equipment were ready, and the three people were pushed into different rooms for examination.
Zhuang Mingxu took the opportunity to tell Lu Weiyi about the situation at the base.
From the day they left, Zhuang Mingxu was anxious, so he held a meeting with all the people in the base. With what happened in the previous winter in mind, all the teams unanimously agreed to gather all the water and earth-type ability users in the base and begin to implement the "Reclamation Plan" with all their strength.
Tang Bai, Zhou Xue and Lin Ya happened to be here at the same time. After Zhuang Mingxu had a "friendly exchange" with the three of them, he recruited some of their earth-type and water-type ability users, and the rest were recruited from all over the country.
I originally thought I might have to wait for a few days, but as soon as the message was sent out, the bases in Pingjin, Mengbei, Changhong and Kyoto all sent messages saying that they would send people with special abilities over.
"They were all sent here in the name of the base, and most of them are A-level earth-type mutants. Now, including our base, the number of earth-type mutants has reached more than 11,000, and there are also 5,000 water-type mutants." Zhuang Mingxu was thinking that more people would speed up the process, while Lu Weiyi had only two words in his mind: crystal core.
According to the current breeding trend of mutant animals, it would be safer to deal with the surrounding sea areas as soon as possible. Lu Weiyi had no objection to his plan, but, "Do we have enough crystal cores in our base?"
"Originally, it could only hold out for a few days. However, after I opened up the exchange of purification crystal cores, they started giving out crystal cores again."
Hearing him say this, Lu Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Where are the soil and rocks transported from?"
"It's only been two days since we started working, and we're temporarily moving the material from the southwest coastline. I hope the filling material will be hard and not easily damaged. Previously, Li Zhuang has been teaching them how to solidify a hard layer of soil, which can be considered as a screening of manpower," said Zhuang Mingxu, showing Lu Weiyi the drawing they had drawn up.
The original depth of the North Sea near the coastline was less than 100 meters. This time the filling will directly reduce the depth to 10 meters, and the surrounding sea areas will not exceed 5 meters.
"Is this ship unusable?"
"Yes. The largest cargo ship our base can bear is eight tons, and it can sail when the sea level is above nine meters," Zhuang Mingxu pointed to the side of the Beidao pier. "An extended pier will be built here, and a special route will be reserved in the front for ships to enter and exit. For other small fishing boats, a depth of five meters is enough."
"The problem now is that with such a huge consumption, we can't just move soil and rocks from the southwest coastline. We need more," Zhuang Mingxu looked at Lu Weiyi.
He thought about it for a moment and understood, "You want me to transport it through space."
Even though he didn't want to admit it, Zhuang Mingxu had to say that this was the most labor-saving method at the moment. He nodded and said, "We found a few mountains. They are not very far away and should be enough."
"Okay, now that we have started, let's hurry up and try to finish it as quickly as possible." Lu Weiyi felt uneasy when he thought of the mutant squid they encountered at sea. If such a big squid appeared near the island, it would be a disaster for them.
"I met members of the base when I came back. They were mutated in the city..."
Lu Weiyi frowned, still not sure what it was.
"It's a mutant weasel that emits a foul odor that causes people to hallucinate," Zhuang Mingxu said for him, "They came here earlier and have just been sent to the second floor for examination. They are from the Frost Society, and they brought some members of the Miracle Team and the White Rose."
"I haven't been to the city center since the beginning of spring. I didn't expect that the flood there has already reached this extent." Lu Weiyi thought of their miserable appearance and looked worried.
"Not only that, recently there have been teams continuously reporting on the situation in the city. There are so many species that I can't even imagine. There are even zebras, wolves, leopards and other animals that shouldn't be here." Seeing that the people waiting around were looking over, Zhuang Mingxu explained, "We suspect that they are the ones that survived in the zoo here before."
