Chapter 458: Framed
Xu Yi quickly opened a bottle, and seeing Xu Sa looking over here not far away, he raised his hand to him from a distance.
Zhuang Mingxu wet a towel and helped Lu Weiyi wipe his hands, reminding him to drink less, and took the opportunity to wipe Lu Weiyi's right hand twice more.
The afternoon's sales exhibition had nothing to do with the lower-level psychics. There were still people fighting on the ring, and it had even begun to take shape, no longer limited to battles with the same psychic powers. Different psychics had developed a defense and challenge mode, and the Kyoto base also gave certain rewards.
Only the leaders of the teams from each base gathered at the exhibition point to view the equipment of the two most advanced bases.
Compared to the high price of Yuebanwan, Kyoto Kyoto has adopted a completely affordable style. It even took out the crystal core weapons of inferior quality to Yuebanwan without any care and placed them next to Yuebanwan's crystal core weapons openly.
They even told the consultant directly that the quality was not as good as the one next door, but the only advantage was the low price.
For a while, it really attracted quite a few people who were hesitant because of the price issue. Seeing this situation, Zhuang Mingxu was also convinced.
Although all the goods brought out are expensive, they are closely related to life, especially the headband that can reduce the energy of zombies in the body. Because the three captains of the Kyoto base have personally tested it before, it has become the object of competition among various bases even though it is expensive.
Lu Weiyi was still looking after the overall situation and avoiding chaos at the beginning, but later he became a professional money collector. Even the few people Lu Xiao sent to help were left with only a few crystal cores.
It only took Lu Weiyi two hours to go from the initial revenue to the subsequent numbness.
Seeing that there were only a few headbands left, the captains who came with Yuebanwan could no longer hold back.
"Captain Lu, this..." Ye Jia pointed at Zhuang Mingxu, who had rolled up his sleeves and looked like a salesperson, and said flatteringly, "Should we leave a few for our team at the base?"
"Do you want it?" Lu Weiyi looked at Chen Xingyue, Qiwen and others who were following behind him.
“Who doesn’t want good things?” Yue Qi adjusted his glasses politely.
"That's the price..." Ye Jia's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd.
"You can ask Captain Zhuang if there is any surplus or discount later. I am not responsible for this." Lu Weiyi knew that he was not good at these things. The most straightforward way was to give it to Zhuang Mingxu, which would also make these captains of the superpowers feel grateful to him and make it easier to manage.
"Captain Zhuang is dedicated to the team at our base, so he reserved it for us," Yu Mengchu said carelessly, and then he shouted to the outside, "Everyone, come and take a look. This is the second-generation energy jammer, the latest generation that can set the energy jammer range and intensity..."
"Then I'll hurry up and work. Who knows, when Chief Zhuang sees my hard work, he might turn around and give me one. Hahaha..." Ye Jia joked with exaggerated movements, making several people laugh.
There was a constant flow of people, and Lu Weiyi had to rush to go to the toilet.
Unexpectedly, before he left the cubicle, he heard the sound of the bathroom door being locked from outside. He thought someone was targeting him. After all, he had stored all the crystal cores he had obtained in the afternoon into his own space. Just as he was on guard, he heard the obscene voices of two men outside.
"Are you sure the medicine you gave him is okay? Don't let him wake up in the middle of it?"
"It would be better if she woke up. What's the fun of raping a corpse? It would be more enjoyable if she struggled."
"That's right. Today I saw him trying to please the base commander, but unfortunately he ignored him."
"When someone has their ideal love, who cares about ugly things?"
"I don't mind crooked melons and cracked dates, haha, as long as they are cheap, I'm fine"
…
When Lu Weiyi put on his pants and walked out of the cubicle, what caught his eye were two wretched, fat middle-aged men with half of their clothes and pants taken off. The man sleeping on the floor had been stripped naked.
Probably because they didn't expect there would be someone inside, they both obviously recognized Lu Weiyi. They looked at each other and pulled at their pants for a long time before they shouted in a stammering voice, "Base Captain Lu."
"We...we..."
Lu Weiyi had seen this kind of scene countless times before the end of the world. Compared to others who tried to be heroes when they encountered problems, he habitually pretended not to see it.
Naturally, he didn't even pay attention to the two of them. After washing his hands slowly, he walked past them with a calm expression, opened the door, and walked out.
"Help...Help...Lu..."
The man's weak voice sounded at this moment.
It was a pity that Lu Weiyi moved faster and had closed the door again when the voice fell.
After returning to the venue and being busy for a while, Zhao Qiang came over with a few men and women. He looked at Lu Weiyi with a strange expression, turned and walked towards Zhuang Mingxu, muttering a few words in a low voice. Zhuang Mingxu's face darkened, and he looked at the man who followed him and said, "Absolutely impossible."
"Captain Zhuang, I don't want to believe it either, but my brother-in-law said that the person he saw was Captain Lu. Please give us an explanation from your base."
The man's voice was not low, and his questioning voice sounded calm, but the look he gave Lu Weiyi was not cold, as if he wanted to stab him at any time.
The person who was originally asking about something immediately turned around.
"Captain Ling, what happened?" someone familiar asked.
The man looked at Lu Weiyi, who had nothing to do with the matter, and said, "My brother-in-law was knocked unconscious, and something happened..."
Everyone present immediately understood the meaning behind this implicit expression and followed his gaze which was lingering on Zhuang Mingxu.
Then the man continued, "He said he saw the captain of the land base."
Along with everyone's incredulous looks, Xu Sa's sneer appeared.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it," Xu Sa apologized without any regrets and asked, "Who is this?"
"Ling Jiaoyang, captain of the Jiaoyang team at Changhong base."
"Oh." Xu Sa folded his arms and looked at him for a moment, and suggested very seriously, "Although it is hard to find a psychologist nowadays, the disease still needs to be treated. It is not good to spread the problem of sexual fantasy."
"You..." Ling Jiaoyang glared at Zhao Qiang, "Captain Zhao, such a big thing happened to our people in Kyoto, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
Zhao Qiang looked at Lu Weiyi and said, "How about you, Brother Lu, cooperate with the investigation?"
"Investigate what?" Lu Weiyi did not embarrass Zhao Qiang in public.
"Let's go talk somewhere else," Zhao Qiang said, considering Lu Weiyi's face.
"No need. Captain Ling put a huge accusation on us right here in front of so many people. It has a huge impact on the reputation of our base and our base commander." Zhuang Mingxu looked at Ling Jiaoyang coldly. "If it was a misunderstanding, how will Captain Ling compensate us?"
When Lu Weiyi heard these two words, he immediately became excited.
"If not, I will apologize to the ground base commander."
"Apologize? Who do you think you are? Do you think you can get away with just a simple apology?" Xu Sa stood beside Zhuang Mingxu, crossed his arms and looked at Ling Jiaoyang. His whole body exuded the word: arrogance.
"How can it be so easy for a squad leader like you to slander our base commander with just a few words?"
"He doesn't even consider his own weight and can't even find a good excuse to commit fraud."
"Maybe he thinks his sister's brother-in-law is unique in the world."
"Are there any more brothers-in-law?"
"Of course, Captain Ling's sister supports a whole base of brothers-in-law, hahahaha..."
Amid the banter, everyone in the Yuebanwan base stood beside Zhuang Mingxu, showing their united stance against the outside world.
Ling Jiaoyang's teeth were grinding, and his masseter muscles were clearly visible. "Is this how you, Yuebanwan, shield criminals? You claim all day long that people with special abilities and ordinary people can coexist peacefully, but is this how we can coexist peacefully? It can't be..."
"Captain Ling," Yue Qiwen, who was standing at the edge, adjusted his glasses and interrupted him, "Adults should still be careful with their words."
"You have already affected the reputation of our base commander and the entire base, and now it has implicated our sales exhibition. These losses cannot be recovered by an apology or misunderstanding. Do you think we should..." Yue Qiwen said, turning his gaze to Lu Weiyi who was protected behind them.
Seeing the person nod, he continued, "Let's talk about the compensation issue first."
"What compensation do you want?" Ling Jiaoyang asked.
"Is there any compensation more straightforward than a crystal core?" Yue Qiwen seemed to have entered a calculator implanted in him, and a series of numbers came out of his mouth. "If Captain Ling is irresponsible, it may cause damage to the reputation of our base for a long time to come, and then affect the cooperation between the base and other surrounding bases, and involve the economic income of our base. Captain Ling will still be responsible for this part."
"Secondly, our base captain is still young and mentally fragile. If he is rashly given such a reputation, his body and mind will be easily harmed. As the only SS-level psychic at present, Captain Ling will naturally be responsible for the mental damages, otherwise..." Yue Qiwen paused and turned his gaze to the other base members who were watching the excitement around him.
At this time, all the members of the base were looking at Lu Weiyi with indescribable expressions. The man who was counting crystal cores with a calm face was seriously inconsistent with the psychologically fragile base commander he described.
"What if we are affected psychologically and unable to participate in the fight against zombies, then..."
Yue Qiwen did not continue speaking, but these threatening words were enough to make those around him who were originally indifferent to the matter to adjust their attitudes.
"In addition, we are currently holding a sales exhibition, and the average revenue per minute can reach thousands..."
"Seven thousand six hundred and eighty-four" Lu Weiyi's voice suddenly came from behind.
Before others understood what he meant, Yue Qiwen had already reacted first, "Seven thousand six hundred and eighty-four crystal cores were lost in one minute. I'm afraid Captain Ling will still be responsible for the economic losses caused."
"You are simply blackmailing us," said one of the people who came with Ling Jiaoyang indignantly.
"He's obsessed with money, he's a complete loser of a big base"
"Are you just going to watch and do nothing as the big base is bullying our small team?"
"If I don't want to talk about money with you, then what should I talk about? About feelings? Brothers, look in the mirror, who knows who you are?" Yu Mengchu rolled his eyes almost to the sky,
