Chapter 441: Eavesdropping
"Heh," Zhuang Mingxu paused while checking the base's bill and said sarcastically, "How cooperative is he? He asked for an autopsy the first time they met, and when that didn't work, he collected all the specimens that could be collected from a human body, which was not enough. It's been such a long time and we haven't come to any conclusion yet, and you still dare to make demands?"
Zhuang Mingxu almost had the word "waste" written on his face, "Reject it, tell them not to have this idea. If Cheng Chuan hadn't helped to control the zombie riot in the residential area last time, who knows how many people would have died. It's not the right way to cross the river and then destroy the bridge."
"Okay, I'll contact them." Yin Jin wrote it down and asked again, "Major General Lu from the Kyoto base sent a message asking about your progress. What do you think of the suggestions he made earlier?"
Before Zhuang Mingxu could react to what was happening, Lu Weiyi's dazed voice rang out from where he was sleeping on the sofa, "Tell him I agree, and ask him if he has any talent suggestions."
"Are you awake? Do you want to eat something?" Lu Weiyi had just moved back from outside and didn't want to listen to Zhuang Aiyi reading textbooks at home, so he simply ran to Zhuang Mingxu's office to sleep.
Lu Weiyi shook his head and told Zhuang Mingxu about Lu Xiao's suggestion, "I think it's worth considering. The Kyoto base is only more than a thousand kilometers away from our base by land, but it takes about fifteen days to drive there now, assuming the journey is smooth and there is no attack."
Lu Weiyi took the water he handed over and took a sip. "According to the current situation of the mutant animals outside, it will take even longer, and we may not be able to reach the destination smoothly. Not to mention the fuel consumption of the plane, the mutant birds are also..."
Lu Weiyi sighed and said, "The plane we flew this time was attacked and crashed."
Zhuang Mingxu looked over suddenly.
"It's okay. I put it into space and it didn't crash completely. The propeller is broken, so if we want to continue to connect with various bases, we must find a new connection channel."
"An underground passage is not so easy to build. We need to consider the route, load-bearing capacity and other conditions." Zhuang Mingxu pinched his brows, feeling that nothing has gone smoothly since the beginning of this spring. "I'll think about it again and let someone make a plan first."
After a busy month, the coastal area of North Island was finally completed. During this period, mutant animals more than ten meters in size appeared around the island. If there had not been so many psychics, the consequences would have been unimaginable if they had been killed directly. Since then, there have been no more rumors of dissatisfaction in the base.
Ning Yuan's missing kidney was successfully reconstructed by two healing systems. As for the effect, it was not visible from the outside. Anyway, since Ning Yuan's accident, he has not been allowed to do anything at home, and even his supernatural powers have been used less frequently.
After discussing with Xu Sa and Liu Rui, everyone in the team looked at the calendar and picked a day that everyone agreed was a good day for Dean to upgrade.
When Dean got up early that morning, he learned a set of feudal superstitious procedures from somewhere and took a bath and burned incense.
There was no sandalwood in the villa, so he used perfume instead, under the euphemism of adapting to the development of the times.
The toxins in Xu Sa and Liu Rui's bodies have not disappeared, and now they are still in a paralyzed state. Even the most optimistic people have become a little more silent.
Now Dean is the hope of the whole team and shoulders a heavy responsibility, but he seems to have no awareness of this. He reminds Xu Sa and Liu Rui to stay closer to him so that they can bathe in more "holy light", and reminds Ning Yuan not to be embarrassed.
In the end, he made several people grit their teeth.
"Shorty, have you been with Xu Yi for too long and picked up his mean habits?" Xu Sa couldn't stand it any longer.
"You're the fucking bitch." Xu Yi, who came over specially, crossed his arms and looked like he was watching the fun.
"How can you nickname someone? That's so rude" Dean accused.
"It's not me, it's Lu Weiyi."
A big pot fell from the sky. Lu Weiyi, who was eating breakfast, reacted for a moment and then remembered that he had indeed called out like this a few times when he was fine. He turned his calm gaze to Dean.
Dean pointed at him, looked at him for a moment, then turned around and pointed at Xu Sa again, "You are so rude."
"Come on, everyone, welcome. Dean is performing on stage, bullying the weak and fearing the strong." Xu Sa applauded.
The people around laughed out loud, which eased the tense atmosphere a lot.
"Okay, let's get started," Lu Weiyi stood up and said seriously.
Dean nodded and sat in the middle of the empty living room. Antonio, Xu Sa, Liu Rui and Ning Yuan surrounded him, leaving Lu Weiyi with no seat at all.
Antonio moved a little to the side and said, "How about squeezing in?"
"No need." Lu Weiyi stepped forward and took off the forehead guard that Dean had been wearing for the past few days. The skin could not recover on its own after wearing it for too long, and the needle hole left behind could be clearly seen at the center of the eyebrows.
He handed the crystal core to Dean, and finally reminded him, "Nothing will happen, just stay awake and hold on."
Dean nodded seriously, tilted his head to kiss Antonio, and began to absorb the crystal core.
Just as Lu Weiyi said, Dean had been preparing for the upgrade for a month in advance. Compared to Xu Yi's initial pain, Dean could only be considered to have suffered a little torture.
The upgrade was completed successfully after a short while. No one was worried about him. They all turned to look at Xu Sa and Liu Rui tacitly, with countless pairs of eyes filled with anticipation.
Gu Qingyue, who was closest to him, touched him lightly and asked, "Are you conscious?"
Liu Rui didn't say anything. Everyone felt uneasy and no one dared to say anything.
It was probably the last moment. Xu Sa was no longer as silent as he had been in the past few days. Instead, he said casually, "Come on, I'll give you one, and you give me one, and we'll test it ourselves."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped Liu Rui's arm with a crisp "snap". "Does it hurt?"
"...It hurts...it hurts..." Liu Rui said in surprise. He twisted his body with force. It seemed that his body, which he had been unable to move, suddenly became his own again and began to regain consciousness. "It's...a little...stiff...sore...sleepy..."
"That's because I haven't moved for a long time," Gu Qingyue explained, looking at Xu Sa.
Xu Sa chuckled, "It should be possible." He looked at his feet. Several toes in his slippers were moving up and down, and a silly smile appeared on his androgynous face.
As for Ning Yuan, no one knew whether he was affected specifically. He quickly returned to his previous state. At first, Xi Jinping was worried that his new kidneys could not withstand the fatigue and reminded him to pay more attention. Until he was found to have single-handedly pushed aside two meters of sea water to assist in the land reclamation plan, he never said anything again.
However, Zhuang Mingxu and Wu Yue were more directly worried. One afternoon, Wu Yue suddenly told Ning Yuan that he had arranged a blind date for him with a girl.
"She is a young girl who has just reached adulthood, just 18 years old. She has been living with her parents before. Her parents are honest and the growing environment is also okay. The girl has a good personality and a good temper. She is considered a rare flower in that area. You should go and meet her." Wu Yue tried his best not to act so deliberate.
Bai Miao, the youngest bachelor in the team, and Li Dongsheng, the oldest bachelor, were stunned for a while when they heard the news. They all looked at Ning Yuan. While he was still confused, Zhuang Mingxu also spoke.
"I've heard of her too. She's quite pretty. You can go and meet her and see if she's suitable for you." Zhuang Mingxu's words made everyone look over and listen to his high-sounding words.
"It's the fourth year of the apocalypse, and the Kyoto base has begun to study the issue of human reproduction. Anyone who wants to find a girlfriend can hurry up. Once there are results, I will help you contact them as soon as possible."
There was silence at the dinner table for a moment, and then Ning Yuan looked at Wu Yue in confusion, "You are still a bachelor? Why are you urging me to get married?"
"It's the fucking end of the world, and I'm still being urged to get married?" He looked incredulous, "You're too scary."
"I see that you're under a lot of pressure when you're on a mission, so I'm worried about you."
"I'm not the only one on the mission." Ning Yuan pointed his finger at Antonio beside him, then turned to Li Zhuang. After a circle, he found that he was the only bachelor in the team going out. He retracted his finger and said, "Then I don't need it either."
Wu Yue and Zhuang Mingxu looked at each other and exchanged glances tacitly.
"Okay, we'll be going to the Pingjin base to exchange crystal cores in a few days, so you and Wu Yue can take some people there," Zhuang Mingxu said calmly.
The topic changed so quickly that no one reacted to what was happening for a while. However, Li Zhuang's gaze moved between the three people twice, then he lowered his eyes and smiled.
Lu Weiyi, who didn't think there was anything wrong, knew something was wrong when he saw his expression, but after asking around, he was evaded by the question.
It was not until Wu Yue and Ning Yuan brought their men back from the Pingjin base, quietly entered Zhuang Mingxu's office and locked the door, that Lu Weiyi immediately probed his mental power in.
Zhuang Mingxu glanced at the two people's strange expressions and made a rough guess. Without waiting for Ning Yuan to ask, he took the initiative to say, "I'm just worried that you haven't recovered well, and I'm embarrassed to say it out loud."
Ning Yuan was embarrassed and collapsed, "Then he can't fucking listen to me, right? He wasn't wimpy to begin with, but he was frightened into wimpy."
Zhuang Mingxu looked at Wu Yue in disbelief.
"I just want to know first-hand information." Wu Yue was also very embarrassed.
He and Ning Yuan went to the Pingjin base for a tour, and on the same day he took people to Yinggeyanwu under Tang Bai. Tang Bai was very considerate and arranged clean girls for the two of them. He had something on his mind, so he drove the people away directly.
When I felt it was about time, I went to the outside of Ningyuan Gate, hoping to listen to what was going on. This was better than the embarrassment of asking later.
Wu Yue was naturally very careful in doing things that were not upright to begin with. Unexpectedly, he would be mistaken for a pervert. Coincidentally, all the guests on that floor were important people, which not only alarmed Tang Bai, but also caused Ning Yuan to come out and catch him red-handed.
At that time, Wu Yue wanted to die when he saw the strange look Tang Bai gave him.
Especially when leaving, the other party said, "When two people live together, it is bound to be conflicts. Just solve the problems. Don't ask outsiders to get involved next time. It will hurt feelings."
Wu Yue couldn't say that he was worried about some aspect of Ning Yuan's problem, nor could he explain his own behavior, and he almost suffocated to death.
