Chapter 442: Flying Team
Zhuang Mingxu, who knew what happened, was also amused. Lu Weiyi, who reacted, couldn't control his laughter and his mental power instantly made the window stop moving without wind.
"Who?" Ning Yuan shouted and looked outside quickly.
Zhuang Mingxu opened the door of the study, his eyes wandered around the people in the living room, and pointed his index finger in the direction of Lu Weiyi. Lu Weiyi bit his lip and pretended to be innocent, and when Ning Yuan looked over, he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Ning Yuan gritted his teeth in anger, shook his sleeves and whispered, "Very good." Then he slipped back to the room.

It took three and a half months, several nearby mountains were moved, and more than ten thousand psychics worked together to finally fill the sea area around Yueban Bay to the planned depth.
The base has restocked small aquatic animals in the surrounding shallow bays to supply the base with daily food, and metal nets have been installed near the islands to reduce the chances of mutant animals coming ashore.
Even power grids have been installed in some important places. Of course, the base does not have so much energy to maintain power. The power supply center is composed of two thunder zombies that are completely sealed in metal.
The tight helmet developed by Shen Xiuyin has begun to be put into use. At first, it was only water zombies, which were placed at the water source of the base.
A circle of holes is deliberately left on the wall of the deep well. The water zombies imprisoned and fixed in special metal products will shoot water swords when they hear the sound of water being pumped above. The water swords will hit the metal wall and finally fall into the well.
Layer upon layer of zombies continuously consume crystal cores, slowly recover, and consume them again and again. If they are used infinitely, they can maintain water supply for the entire base and save a large number of water-based mutants.
Wood zombies are more convenient to use. The imprisoned zombies can be directly placed in the spawning area. Any seeds within the coverage area can quickly germinate, grow and be harvested to continue the next cycle.
Since having the assistance of wood-type zombies, the number of wood-type mutants under Li Dongsheng's command has been reduced by 90%, and all of them have been transferred to the planting area, which has increased the amount of reclaimed land in the base.
Lightning zombies are rare to begin with, and the only two were supplied to Shen Xiuyin for research. They were initially planned to be deployed in the base's weapons manufacturing plant, but the current required there was fixed, and they had not yet found a way to allow the zombies to release just the right voltage to avoid damaging consumable machinery, so they could only be placed on a power grid with less stringent requirements.
The only fire-type zombies were reserved for the base's boiler. Now every household has installed central heating radiators, waiting for the arrival of winter, when the heating of the entire base will be turned on with the help of the fire-type zombies.
In order to achieve this goal, the base is also constantly collecting and hunting fire zombies.
At this moment, two pieces of news, one good and one bad, spread to all the bases.
The good news is that Kyoto has discovered the reason why humans have difficulty conceiving but animals reproduce faster.
The bad news is that the base in the north has sent accurate information that high-level zombies have the ability to regain consciousness and even command and control zombies.
The release of these two pieces of news put the previously shelved Psychic Conference back on the agenda. Each base hopes to obtain more advanced technology, form an alliance with a more powerful base, and get support when needed.
After discussion on the base to participate, the location was decided on the Kyoto base and the time was set in October when the temperature was high.
When the construction of the base was about to be completed, Zhuang Mingxu had already reached a cooperation with the Kyoto Base to build an underground passage from Yueban Bay to the Kyoto Base. By the time the meeting started, it was expected that the passage would have been completed.
They could have set out at the latest, but the base had limited crystal core storage, and considering that they still hoped to clear out as many zombies as possible along the way, they set out a few days earlier instead.
Lu Weiyi is not good at dealing with people. Many things in this conference need to be decided by people with enough weight. The team finally decided that Zhuang Mingxu and Lu Weiyi would leave together.
Compared to other bases where power is unevenly divided and concerns about conflicts of interest are raised, Yuebanwan obviously does not need to consider so many things, but it still wants its teams to communicate with other bases together.
The base notified each team of the news in advance, requiring A-level and above psychics to sign up voluntarily, with a limit of ten.
While the teams were busy, the people in the villa were also discussing who would be traveling with them. In addition to Lu Weiyi and Zhuang Mingxu, there would definitely be a need for a healer. Usually, Xu Yi would try to avoid such outings, but now, he went against his usual behavior and before Dean could say anything, he took the lead in saying that he wanted to go.
"Are you sure? The road is very dangerous now," Lu Weiyi reminded.
Xu Yi nodded without hesitation, but looked indifferent.
Lu Weiyi looked at Zhuang Mingxu. He hoped that Dean would go so that Antonio would follow and it would help with the fighting capacity.
Zhuang Mingxu glanced at Xu Yi, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement, "Then Dean will be stationed at the base this time."
"OK" Dean had a look of regret on his face but was still very easy to talk to.
This means that Antonio will also be left in the base. Lu Weiyi looked around and said, "Then Li Zhuang, Xu Sa, Liu Rui and Gu Qingji will go together." His eyes wandered between Ning Yuan and Gu Qingyue.
Compared with the two water-based superpowers, Ning Yuan has a strong fighting ability, but the brothers Gu Qingyue and Gu Qingji...
"Let Qingyue go. Ye Jia is going to visit the Frost Society. He has good water combat ability," Ning Yuan said proactively.
Gu Qingyue looked at him gratefully. Gu Qingji's physical accident made him see his true heart. In this world full of dangers, they didn't want to be separated at all.
Gu Qingji also breathed a sigh of relief and held Gu Qingyue's hand tightly. The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
"Okay, then let's add another metal-type player." Lu Weiyi thought about the other people in the team, "Who has a higher level, Zhang Peng from Team 2 or Lin Mo from Team 3?"
"Lin Mo" Lin Yimu replied quickly.
"Then let him come along," Lu Weiyi decided.
The combat power of Team One is almost evenly divided, and with the subordinate teams gradually being upgraded to S-level, the remaining ones are enough to deal with emergencies in the base.
"Are you taking care of the children? Do Aiyi and Taotao want to come together?" Xi Shi suddenly asked.
Zhuang Mingxu and Lu Weiyi looked at the two children who had been silent at the same time. The older Zhuang Aiyi got, the more sensible he became. He was no longer as clingy to his two fathers as he was when he was a child, and he could even help take care of his younger brother.
After they left, the combat power of the island in the base was limited. Once someone with ill intentions attacked the two children, not only would the combat power of the others be limited, but they would also have people more important to protect than saving the children.
Meeting his expectant eyes, Zhuang Mingxu said, "Take it with you. It's safer to be with you. What do you think?"
"Okay" Lu Weiyi didn't care.
"Thank you, Dad. I will be a good boy and won't get into trouble," Zhuang Aiyi said excitedly immediately.
After arranging the trip, Zhuang Mingxu gave some brief instructions on what to do next at the base and then looked at Lu Weiyi.
"Brother Damu, how many people in our base army can participate in the battle now?" Lin Yimu had been in charge of the base army and the supplies in the base warehouse. As the base army expanded, he began to take over the training of new recruits.
"We started expanding from the base army. Our requirement is to be able to participate in the battle at any time. The training is also based on the training method of special forces by the troops before the end of the world. Everyone can participate in the battle immediately, and the number of people can reach more than 13,500 people."
"You told me before that apart from the logistics personnel, it was divided into three regiments?" Lu Weiyi recalled what he knew about the base army.
"right"
"Is it divided according to supernatural powers?"
"No." When Lin Yimu heard his question, he knew that he might have forgotten what he had mentioned before. Although his teammates were not outsiders, Lin Yimu still considered that he could not let everyone see that Lu Weiyi had neglected it, so he took the responsibility on himself and said, "I have discussed it with several team leaders before, and the teams are divided into those with special abilities and ordinary people. On average, each regiment has a team of special abilities to ensure that any team can carry out the mission. We have been training in this way, and I plan to report to you after some initial results."
"We referred to the organizational model of the army before the apocalypse. The psychics are divided into teams of ten to fifteen people, and ordinary people are divided into teams of twenty to thirty people. They receive different training respectively, and they will also coordinate and cooperate according to their respective situations. A team of psychics and a team of ordinary people form a squad, four squads form a platoon, two platoons form a company, two companies form a battalion, and four battalions form a regiment. There are two regiments in total, with a total of more than 8,000 but less than 9,000 people."
"The remaining 1,000-plus logistics personnel are all talents in mechanical maintenance and weapons manufacturing."
Lin Yimu briefly explained the new deployment of the troops to Lu Weiyi.
"What weapons are you using now?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"Knives, daggers and crystal core rifles or crystal core pistols enhanced by superpowers." Lin Yimu knew everything about his subordinates and answered quickly, "But the number of crystal core rifles is insufficient, and we cannot provide one to each person."
"Is it that the manufacturing speed can't keep up?" Lu Weiyi looked at Zhuang Mingxu.
"We are short of materials. Even though my uncle keeps delivering materials to us, it is still not enough to supply each person with one. Also, the number of crystal cores is insufficient." A gun must be driven by a crystal core, and this is the basic equipment, not including the replenishment of crystal cores.
Lu Weiyi nodded, thought for a while and said, "We will find a way to solve this problem. You should recruit more people in mechanical manufacturing as soon as possible, and train a group of firearms teams, including machine guns, rocket launchers, tanks and even aircraft support teams."
As soon as Lu Weiyi said this, everyone in the room looked over. Even Zhuang Mingxu had never heard of this news in advance, so he could only ask directly, "Are you planning to transfer your combat power to this direction?"
"Yes," Lu Weiyi said affirmatively, "Residents can stay at home, but we can't. If we don't have contact with the outside world, we won't know the evolution of the mutated animals and zombies outside. Moreover, the energy of our base will be transferred to crystal core energy as much as possible in the future, so crystal cores are necessary."
