Chapter 488 Contact
The news of the helicopter accident soon spread throughout the Kyoto base. Zhao Qiang and Zheng Yi, who got the news, came to inquire about the information, but were dealt with by Lu Xiao.
The entire Yueban Bay relies on Lu Weiyi, the most powerful psychic, to be in charge, so that he can unscrupulously launch various weapons and equipment from various bases. If something happens to Lu Weiyi, it is likely that not only the Kyoto base will be ready to move, but every base will want to get a piece of the pie.
It is even very likely that after Lu Xiao went out, the Flame Team’s headquarters might be destroyed.
Lu Xiao had already prepared for the worst case scenario, and even returned to hold a meeting with several captains he had promoted, stating that they should gather all resources and be ready to evacuate Kyoto to Yueban Bay at any time.
"Has it really come to this?" asked a captain.
"We have always been one with Yuebanwan. If Yuebanwan is targeted, we, Lieyan, will definitely be the first to be attacked. Rather than being surrounded by enemies and losing our fire, it is better for us to choose a path first." Cong Qing explained without waiting for Lu Xiao to speak.
It was he who asked Lu Weiyi to help. Now that something like this happened, it's not his fault, but everyone would feel uncomfortable.
No one in the team was talking. They had been accepting various benefits from Yuebanwan thanks to Lu Xiao's face, and they didn't even have the face to quit at this moment.
"Uncle, can we have dinner now? My brother is hungry." Zhuang Aiyi's inquiring voice broke the silence.
Lu Xiao saw that it was already past lunchtime. He had been busy planning what to do next and had no appetite for food, and he also ignored the child.
"Let's go eat." Lu Xiao waved to the captains, stood up, picked up Zhuang Aiyi and walked towards the restaurant.
"Major General——" A chattering voice came from outside the yard.
Lu Xiao frowned and looked over, then heard the person say, "Major General, the base commander of Yuebanwan Manor has arrived, and wants you to go over and reply to his message alone."
"Okay." Lu Xiao quickly put Zhuang Aiyi on the child chair. "Aiyi, can you bring your brother to eat together? Uncle will be out for a moment."
"Okay, uncle, remember to eat," said Zhuang Aiyi's grandmother.
Lu Xiao stroked Taotao's head, who was already impatiently reaching for the pizza, and signaled the guard to keep an eye on the two of them, and he left in a hurry.
After receiving the news, Zhuang Mingxu is leading people to observe the situation of mutated animals in the surrounding sea. The over-reproduction of animals on land has also caused abnormalities in the sea.
"Since the anomaly was discovered, I have had people consciously clean up the seafood in the surrounding aquaculture areas. Our previous reclamation plan has prevented large mutant creatures from approaching the island. Apart from the occasional amphibians that land in the area, there aren't many dangers." Wu Yue told him roughly what had happened during the time they were away.
After making sure there was no danger, Zhuang Mingxu asked him to arrange for an earth-type ability user to check the island's foundation. When he was about to return, he heard the news from the communicator.
The bases that Yuebanwan dealt with most were mostly in the east and north, and there was little contact with the bases in the west and south, and there was no information channel. When he heard that Lu Weiyi's plane exploded, his mind was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to remember that he had the space in his hands, so nothing would happen.
After confirming that Lu Xiao's identity was correct, Zhuang Mingxu first asked whether Taotao had encountered any unexpected situation.
Lu Xiao's mind was full of his comrades and nephew. He became furious when he saw this question, but he endured it because of his understanding of Zhuang Mingxu and his heart full of guilt.
[It's okay, he's no different from usual].
[Taotao has no adverse reaction, which proves Xiaoyi is fine].
Lu Xiao had just breathed a sigh of relief when another message came in: [Uncle can ask Taotao, he can contact Xiaoyi at any time]. After careful consideration, Zhuang Mingxu told Lu Xiao about this matter.
Lu Weiyi’s current situation is unknown, so he cannot provide immediate help himself and can only know his situation through Lu Xiao.
[Okay, I'll go back and ask and keep you updated.] Lu Xiao felt surprised, but considering Taotao's identity, it seemed normal.
[Okay, I will also arrange support personnel to be on standby at all times].
After the two ended the communication, one quickly started to prepare personnel, while the other hurried back to look for Taotao.
At the first sight of them, Lu Xiao couldn't help but kiss Taotao hard on the cheek, "Pah, pah, pah, what did you eat, you stinky baby? It's so sour."
"Hehe, Taotao eats ketchup." Taotao happily turned her other cheek to show Lu Xiao, which was covered with red spots.
"Eat later. Your uncle has something to talk to you about now." Lu Xiao carried Taotao into the bedroom alone. After making sure that there was no one around, he said to Taotao, "Can you contact your father? Your uncle has something important to talk to him about."
Taotao pursed his lips and said nothing. He had been solemnly reminded countless times by Zhuang Mingxu and Lu Weiyi that he must not mention to others the fact that he could contact Lu Weiyi at any time.
But this person was his great uncle, and he wasn't sure if this was someone else, so he just lowered his head and picked his fingers without saying a word.
"It was your grandfather who agreed to let you contact your father."
"Uncle, can you let my great-grandfather tell me?" Taotao asked, staring at him with her bright eyes.
How can you explain that thousands of miles away, all communications rely on radio?
Lu Xiao was very anxious, "Your father is in trouble now, can Taotao help your uncle ask if he is injured?"
"Father is not hurt. He was sleeping on Taotao and he was not hurt." Taotao looked at Lu Xiao with an increasingly strange look in her eyes.
Lu Xiao reacted for a moment, not understanding the meaning of his words, so he could only try his best to persuade him, "Uncle Grandpa misses your father, doesn't Taotao miss your father? Can you go find him? Tell him that Grandpa misses him, and Taotao misses him too."
"When you tell him, your uncle will have someone give you some candy. Very beautiful candies in various colors, okay?"
Lu Xiao suppressed the violent emotions in his heart, tried his best to maintain a gentle smile on his face, and coaxed in a low voice.
He swore that neither Lu Weiyi nor Lu Xi had ever been coaxed by him like this.
"...Okay." Taotao picked at her fingers, her dark eyes twinkling as she said, "Then uncle, give it to me first."
Lu Xiao's mouth twitched, "Okay, uncle will get it for you, just wait." He remembered that Cong Qing bought a lot of snacks for these two ancestors and put them in the villa. He immediately got up and left the bedroom.
Not even two steps away, he heard someone opening the door. Turning around, he saw Taotao running very quickly with her short legs towards Zhuang Aiyi who was eating in the restaurant, calling him "brother" all the time. She looked like a dog was chasing her from behind.
Lu Xiao had a bad feeling when he saw Taotao holding Zhuang Aiyi's head and whispering in his ear.
Zhuang Aiyi looked at Lu Xiao with scrutiny, probably remembering that he was his uncle. She pursed her lips and asked, "Uncle, my brother said that you lied to him and my little dad was injured."
Lu Xiao moved closer and squatted in front of the child, looked up at him, and said in words that the child could understand, "We can't find your little daddy. We have lost contact with him."
"Your big dad wants Taotao to help pass a message to your little dad. Can you tell our Taotao about it?"
Zhuang Aiyi looked between Tao Tao and Lu Xiao and hesitated for a long time, "Uncle Grandpa won't lie to me, right?"
"No, uncle makes a pinky promise with you." Lu Xiao stretched out his little finger.
Zhuang Aiyi solemnly stretched out her little finger and clasped it with Lu Xiao's big hand, and pressed their thumbs together.
Seeing Zhuang Aiyi agreed, Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and took the two children back to the bedroom.
"Go find your little daddy, your brother is waiting for you here." Zhuang Aiyi himself had entered the space before, and he had also been brought in directly by Taotao when he was in danger before, but he still remembered what Lu Weiyi had told him, and only entered in front of others when he had no choice.
Taotao looked at him and wanted to say something, but Zhuang Aiyi pushed her and she disappeared from the spot.
Even though Lu Xiao knew that Taotao was related to the jade space, he did not expect this to happen. Seeing that Zhuang Aiyi looked normal, he tried his best to conceal his surprise.
As soon as Taotao entered the space, she immediately shouted Lu Weiyi everywhere, and ran towards the snack area with her short legs. She lay on the extremely tough dividing membrane, staring at the various snacks in the static space opposite and swallowing her saliva.
The little hands were raised and put down, put down and raised again.
"Father...Father——"
The child's clear voice resounded throughout the space. Lu Weiyi, who was hurrying on his way, heard the noise and thought something had happened to him, so he quickly slipped into the space.
Sensing someone's presence, Taotao turned around happily and saw him sitting on the ground, covered in dirt and with no image at all.
"Father, what's wrong with you?" Taotao was shocked. She took a few steps forward and tried to take off Lu Weiyi's clothes without caring about the dirt.
"Don't move, be careful not to get hurt." The mucus of some insects is corrosive. Even though Lu Weiyi was wearing two layers of clothes, his skin was still injured.
He struggled to take off his clothes, panting, and threw them in the corner. He used his mental power to get Taotao a few bags of pre-apocalyptic snacks, and then asked what had happened.
When he heard that Lu Xiao was looking for him anxiously, he guessed that the news of the plane crash must have been reported back to the Kyoto base.
"You tell your uncle..." Lu Weiyi looked at the little boy who was squatting and looking up at him, and was speechless. He decided to write it down himself.
Seeing that his hand was shaking as he held the pen, Taotao opened her snacks and fed them to him with a distressed look on her face. She would occasionally get close to his shoulder and blow on the corroded wound.
After finishing writing tremblingly, Lu Weiyi asked Taotao to take him out of the space.
"Father, come with me. Let's go find Grandpa. Grandpa will protect us." Taotao's round eyes were full of trust in Zhuang Mingxu. He couldn't feel that Zhuang Mingxu was just an ordinary person who didn't have as strong fighting ability as him. He only knew that Zhuang Mingxu could solve all the problems that he couldn't solve. In his eyes, that made him the most powerful person.
"Go ahead." Lu Weiyi had never tried to follow Taotao to different places, and wondered whether he could return to the place where he entered the space. He couldn't leave with him rashly at this time. "Father is waiting for you here."
