Chapter 456 Growth and Death
Although Lu Weiyi couldn't understand the meaning of wearing sunglasses under the awning, it didn't affect the other party's pretense at all.
Anyone with special abilities can participate here, and the personnel are very mixed. Lu Weiyi's attention is always on Zhuang Mingxu, for fear of any unexpected situations.
"If I was worried about you, why didn't you follow me?" Xu Yi had no manners at all and spit out melon seed shells all over the place.
"Too troublesome." Lu Weiyi grabbed a handful of melon seeds from his hand and glanced at Xu Sa.
Xu Sa noticed his gaze, smiled, took all the remaining things from Xu Yi, and gave half to Liu Rui.
Xu Yi was in a good mood because he had made some money. He didn't bother with the two of them at all. He even took out other snacks from his backpack and put them all over the table, as if he was rewarding them. "You're welcome."
Xu Sa and Lu Weiyi ignored his boasting. Their carefree and blatant vacation looks made it clear that they were from the same base.
They were sitting in a high position, surrounded by high-level people from various bases, so no one came to disturb them. Compared to the groups of people not far away, they felt extremely comfortable.
"Hey, someone downstairs wants to have a sparring match," Xu Yi suddenly said.
"Hmm? Then...is it Yu Mengchu?" Xu Sa asked.
The four of them looked and saw three people walking towards the competition stage. Standing in the middle was the handsome Yu Mengchu.
"She's sparring with someone?" Xu Sa leaned over to look at Lu Weiyi.
Yu Mengchu has fire-related abilities and is now very powerful with S-level combat capability. He is not as strong as Liu Rui, but he is well-known in other bases.
When she first came in, Lu Weiyi took a special look at the members of Yuebanwan. At that time, she and Lu Xiao were chatting and laughing with a group of fire-type psychics.
"Are we going to bully the weak?" Xu Yi was very excited. He stood up and looked around, then pointed in the direction of the entrance. "Bet over there, do you want to play a game?"
The three of them shook their heads at the same time. Lu Weiyi was not interested in these things. Xu Sa and Liu Rui were really poor.
"I'll lend it to you," Xu Yi said to Xu Sa, patting his chest.
"Is it the kind of loan where if I win it's mine and if I lose it's yours?"
Xu Yi looked at him with contempt. Since others might not play with him, he could only nod and pull Xu Sa to trot towards the gambling table.
There was already a dedicated host holding a microphone and introducing the people on stage. Two A-level fire-type psychics were competing, and Yu Mengchu was the referee to prevent people around from getting hurt.
Nowadays, innovation in superpowers only exists at high levels. If the superpowers are low, they cannot support the development of new attack methods. The two people below are still at the initial level of fireball, fire dragon, and fire wall. They can only attack but not defend. They are okay fighting against unconscious zombies, but their weaknesses are immediately exposed when facing opponents with subjective consciousness.
The duel was not over yet, and the people around who were originally attracted to the duel went back to their own business.
Lu Weiyi took a look and lost interest. He turned to ask Liu Rui, "Are you in the middle stage now?"
"Almost..." Liu Rui had little experience, and everything he saw was curious. At this moment, he was eating snacks and staring at the ground below, as if he was watching some attractive performance.
In the past two years, there have been more auxiliary machines in their base, and they have weapons to assist them when they go out. They no longer rely solely on superpowers to fight. Lu Weiyi hasn't paid attention to everyone's fighting methods for a long time, and he doesn't know whether new offensive and defensive methods have been derived as superpowers continue to improve.
The two people who went to place the bets have not returned yet, and the battle below is almost over.
"I thought it was Yu Mengchu. If I had known it was someone else, I wouldn't have made this trip. It's such a waste of energy." Xu Yi returned mutteringly and sat on the stool with his arms folded. "Do we have to stay here all day today? We might as well go shopping and sleep instead."
"You still dare to go shopping?" Lu Weiyi also felt bored.
"I dare you. It would be great if someone brave enough comes and kidnaps me." His cheerful look easily makes people think that he has a problem with his brain.
Xu Yi clapped his hands and said, "This way I can get another 20,000 crystal cores."
Lu Weiyi was just about to scold him for wishful thinking when he saw Xu Yi turn around and said, "I'll give you half when the time comes."
"..." The words on his lips were swallowed back.
"It would be faster for you two to just blackmail them," Xu Sa complained.
Xu Yi quickly turned around and looked at Lu Weiyi, his eyes sparkling, as if he had thought of a way to make money.
Just because he didn't notice the silent attention paid by the nearby team members doesn't mean that Lu Weiyi is also indifferent. If his words are misunderstood, who knows what version of the story will be spread in the future.
"Do you know how much crystal core income the Yuebanwan base earns in a quarter?"
Xu Yi was confused by the question and shook his head and looked over.
"Since the beginning of this spring, our base has hired more than 10,000 earth-type mutants, and the daily salary alone is 80,000 crystal cores. So many people have served in the construction of our base for more than two months." Lu Weiyi looked over with a calm expression, "You can calculate how much crystal cores have been consumed."
Without waiting for Xu Yi to answer, Lu Weiyi continued, "The 20,000 yuan as compensation for your kidnapping was just a token of respect since we are all united in fighting against the zombies. Who would be interested in such a small amount of crystal cores? Is this blackmail? I'm embarrassed to even say it."
This pretense was unintentional yet very stimulating. After all, those who didn't have the ability at the moment didn't have enough crystal cores to obtain upgrades. The people around who were listening to the noise looked embarrassed and envious.
"Tsk, so many crystal cores weren't given to me." Xu Yi saw clearly that it was impossible for a private individual to have such a large number of crystal cores nowadays.
Lu Weiyi didn't want to hear him showing off his wealth in public, especially since he was still a weakling. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Yi, "I suddenly feel that your supernatural power seems to have other development directions."
The smile on Xu Yi's lips faded a little bit. Xu Sa on the other side quickly pulled Liu Rui up and said, "I see those with lightning abilities over there exchanging experiences. I'll go over and communicate with them."
"I..." Xu Yi looked towards the gathering place of the treatment department, and was pushed back to his seat by Lu Weiyi. He said with a sad face, "I was just kidnapped and my body and mind were hurt. Can't you give me some time to relax?"
"I originally wanted to give it to you, but you really..." Lu Weiyi was embarrassed to describe it.
He swiftly took out the small notebook that was famous among all his teammates from the space, spread it out on the table, pointed his index finger at Xu Yi, and whispered, "Yesterday, based on the manifestation of healing abilities, I thought of several invisible ways to kill people..."
It is said to kill people without being seen, but in fact its implementation is also based on the unique characteristics of the healing system. Compared with other abilities that have attack attributes, the healing system has been classified as a nurse attribute from the beginning, and almost no one thinks of using abilities to protect themselves.
Compared to other superpowers which would be instinctively rejected when entering the body of the person with the superpower, the healing power feels more gentle, which makes almost everyone who is accustomed to the healing power not to be on guard, and it is easier to succeed.
"After successfully upgrading your superpowers, you and Dean have been working towards medicine. The basic structure of the human body should be fine now, right?"
"No problem." When talking about business, Xu Yi also looked serious.
"I think that since the healing system can help repair injured parts, tissues, nerves or bones of the human body, is there another possibility, such as..." Lu Weiyi looked at Xu Yi and tentatively said, "over-repair."
Xu Yi frowned, not quite understanding.
"To give a very simple example, the injured leg nerves have been restored to normal after being repaired by a psychic. But what if... the repair is excessive? What if the normal nerves are catalyzed by the healing power and produce unnecessary proliferation?"
"Cardiovascular hyperplasia caused blockage...Cranial nerve hyperplasia changed brain tissue...Bone hyperplasia caused deformity..."
Lu Weiyi spoke softly, and the scene he described immediately appeared in Xu Yi's mind. He swallowed hard and turned to look at Lu Weiyi, "...But...Is it okay?"
"I'm just making an analogy to give you a way to protect yourself." This kind of thing is a bit cruel after all. Lu Weiyi put away his notebook and acted indifferent again, "As for whether you can succeed, it depends on you."
"It seems like the water-based mutant is coming on stage," Lu Weiyi pointed at the audience.
"...Yes, it's the water system," Xu Yi agreed, but in his mind he was thinking about the possibility he just mentioned.
Or it should not be called possible at all, it is a completely feasible situation. After upgrading to Class A, he has been able to successfully reshape his organs, and it is a piece of cake for him to over-stimulate local growth.
In the past, he had assumed that the healing class was the one being protected, so he never thought about it in this regard.
When Lu Weiyi said this, Xu Yi felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.
"I asked you to use it to protect yourself. If you use it for other things..." Lu Weiyi glanced at him sideways and said nothing, but it seemed as if he had expressed all his meaning.
"I know my limits."
"Haha, that's better." When Lu Weiyi told Xu Yi about this possibility, he had already prepared for the possibility that he would use it for anything, and naturally he had also thought about how to deal with it.
"Cherishing life is a good habit." He patted Xu Yi on the shoulder, stood up and walked towards Zhuang Mingxu.
Xu Yi was in a daze for a moment, then realized what he meant. He stared at his back and gritted his teeth, but Li Zhuang, who was always paying attention, saw him and gave him a questioning look.
Xu Yi rolled his eyes at him and looked away.
The gap between the psychics is very obvious. Even at the same level, the difference in their mastery of psychics is huge. But without exception, the psychics are at the top and are respected in every base.
Nowadays, even in places where people with special abilities gather, many people still have the habit of being superior, and it is inevitable that they will become belligerent in the confrontation, and the agreed competition has begun to change.
The person in charge of the Kyoto base was very open-minded and directly arranged several powerful psychics who could control the field to serve as security guards, and even the healing psychics were ready.
