Chapter 489 Rescue
"Okay! Taotao will be back soon." Taotao took two steps holding the note, turned around, and waved towards a place. Two buckets of water and a prepared meal floated over and were placed next to Lu Weiyi.
The energy in the forest supported him to travel day and night without feeling anything. But once he sat down, Lu Weiyi felt that he didn't even have the strength to move.
"Dad, eat quickly," Taotao reminded him, then turned and left the space.
As soon as she came out of the space, she immediately started to hold her mouth shut, and she hugged Zhuang Aiyi aggrievedly, "Brother, father is injured."
"Are you injured? Where are you injured?" Lu Xiao asked anxiously.
Taotao handed the paper in her hand to Lu Xiao, then pointed to her shoulder and said, "It's bleeding."
Lu Weiyi described on paper their situation at that time and what happened afterwards. Lu Xiao was relieved to know that they were fine. However, when he heard that they had not reconciled, he felt worried again.
While he was writing back the message, Taotao beside him was already mumbling to Zhuang Aiyi about Lu Weiyi's miserable condition.
Lu Xiao had never seen Lu Weiyi embarrassed. In the few battles he had fought, he was like a god descending from heaven, showing how he was in control of everything. His supernatural powers were so powerful that people couldn't help but submit to him.
"I'll go get the food, you take it to the little dad." After hearing this, Zhuang Aiyi turned around and ran towards the restaurant, and put the leftover pizza and chicken legs from the two children, along with the plate, into Taotao's arms.
Lu Xiao put the reply letter on the top. Seeing Taotao successfully entered the space again, he immediately asked the kitchen to make some more food.
After asking a lot of questions, Lu Xiao also learned that they were attacked by SS-level mutant plants. Such powerful mutant plants appeared near the base. No one would believe that no one in the base knew about it.
It turned out that intercepting and detaining the people from Panshui Base was the right choice.
[Uncle, don't come looking for us yet, there are a lot of mutated birds along the way.] He was an SS-level psychic who protected them all the way, and with the help of many attackers, they were able to land safely. If it was someone else, there was no guarantee that something might happen on the way.
[Okay, I know] Lu Xiao replied with his hand, while a plan for a successful rescue was quickly forming in his mind.
Knowing that the forest posed no threat to him for the time being, Lu Xiao instructed the other party to try his best to find someone while protecting himself.
After exchanging information and resting for a while, Lu Weiyi left the space and set off again. While Lu Xiao turned around to convey information to Zhuang Mingxu, he was also thinking about how to provide support.
While Lu Xiao was quietly preparing a retreat for the entire team and thinking of ways to rescue them, Yuebanwan also quietly entered the state of the entire base.
In a short time, the news of Lu Weiyi's accident had spread to all the bases. Tang Bai, who was closer, even asked directly whether the news was true. Fortunately, he added a sentence "Someone in their team needs help", otherwise Zhuang Mingxu, who was anxious in his heart, would definitely take note of it.
The truth of the matter is unknown, but it sounds nice. After Zhuang Mingxu thanked them, he received messages from many people one after another.
Eventually even Eric came over to ask.
Thinking of his psychic ability, Zhuang Mingxu asked and found out that he had reached the peak of Class A. He then sold him an energy-absorbing headband at a 50% discount in exchange for him bringing people to participate in a rescue.
It is too far away from the Panshui base, so if they want to rescue, they will definitely need a helicopter. There are enough helicopters hidden in their base, but there are countless mutant birds on the road, which requires a lot of psychic abilities.
Knowing that the news had spread to all the concerned bases, Zhuang Mingxu left Wu Yue to deal with the people who sent the news from each base, and went to the weapons research and development center himself.
"Brother Mingxu? The assistant said you were looking for me?" Lu Xi didn't know how long he had been absent from sleep and food. There were bloodshot eyes and his hair was messy as if he hadn't taken care of it for a long time.
"Yes, your brother went out on a mission and lost contact..."
"What did you say--?" Lu Xi took two steps forward and asked anxiously, but was held down by Zhuang Mingxu.
"I'm arranging a rescue, listen to me," Zhuang Mingxu signaled him to calm down, "You applied to your brother to do research on the modification of enemy fighter planes before, how many have been completed now?"
Lu Weiyi doted on his younger brother to the extreme. He tried his best to provide Lu Xi with all the people and things he needed for scientific research.
Lu Xi never let him down, from the crystal core weapons in the beginning to the energy converters later, and later on he wanted to do research on new energy sources. Before leaving Kyoto he even mentioned to Lu Weiyi that he wanted to try submarine transformation.
Lu Weiyi actually asked someone to inquire about the naval military base before the end of the world, thinking of getting some underwater combat weapons for transformation.
"Just the modification of crystal core weapons alone can put twelve of them into use, but..." Lu Xi pursed her lips, looking as if she had done something wrong, met Zhuang Mingxu's inquiring gaze, gritted her teeth and continued, "I have made some progress in my recent research on crystal core energy. I have never said that I first applied it to fighter jets, and I replaced the fuel of seven of them with crystal cores."
Zhuang Mingxu frowned, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"
Lu Xi lowered his head and listened obediently, "We don't have a shortage of fuel at our base for the time being. If my brother knew that I have researched the use of crystal core energy, he would definitely use it for civilian purposes first..."
Whether it is a helicopter or a fighter jet, the fuel modification requires major changes, which will only take longer time and energy. Even if Lu Weiyi dotes on him, Lu Xi feels that it is impossible for him to occupy some equipment that has already completed weapon modification to conduct research that the base does not need for the time being.
Zhuang Mingxu gritted his teeth. For a weapons researcher, this kind of dedication and dedication at all costs was admirable. But as the boss he was hiding the truth from, the feeling was really wonderful.
"Brother, brother, I was wrong. I will never do this again. If there is anything, I will report it before making a decision." Lu Xi had a very good eyesight. As soon as she saw that his face was not right, she immediately stepped forward and acted coquettishly, "And I have completed three and put them into trial use. Except for the loss of some crystal cores, there is no problem."
The emergence of new energy is indeed a good thing, but at this moment and under this circumstance, Zhuang Mingxu pointed at him for a long time and couldn't say a single good word to praise him, "Wait for your brother to come back and I will let him deal with you personally."
Lu Xi stuck out his tongue and said, "Except for four planes that have not yet completed the transformation, the remaining eight can be put into combat at any time."
Zhuang Mingxu nodded and said carefully, "Now that the news has spread to various bases, there may be bases that have ill intentions towards us. Your father's place may easily become the first stop for others to attack. You should take some people back to support him and bring five fighter jets with you."
He thought for a moment and added, "Take the three planes you modified with you. Are you sure they are okay? Can they withstand the journey?"
"It can withstand the test. Some time ago, I asked Uncle Yimu for a few pilots and had them do a test at sea. Apart from the consumption of crystal cores, there is no problem at all."
"Okay, let's go there and tell everyone openly that this is a fighter jet that uses crystal core fuel. Don't reveal too much."
Zhuang Mingxu asked him to pack up his things and leave as soon as possible, and called a meeting with all the base military leaders.
Li Qing and others had already learned that Lu Weiyi and others had lost contact, and they immediately offered to lead a team to rescue them.
Zhuang Mingxu did not reply to his question, but asked Lin Yimu, "How is the training of the combat air force going? Can high-altitude combat support be provided?"
"We selected a hundred people first, five or six of them we have met before, and they have good combat awareness and abilities," said Lin Yimu.
"Okay, let them be ready at all times. Also, all the psychics in the base should be prepared and can set off at any time."
"Where's the home team?"
"I will pick a few people from the team and bring some members of the Psychic Guild."
"Let them go..." Li Qing looked around the office and felt that there were no outsiders, so he asked directly, "Will there be any accidents?"
"It would be easy for accidents to happen if we let them stay in the base. The base troops will guard the base, temporarily block the base, and detain the team members and their families first." Yueban Bay is their base camp, which must not be breached.
"Then I will lead the team to rescue. When will we set off?" Ning Yuan made the decision quickly.
"Wait for news from Kyoto. First, select the team members and the necessary supplies. Prepare everything and be ready to set off at any time."
**
At this time, Lu Weiyi could already see the boundary of the surrounding jungle. The first thing that caught his eye was the patches of mutated plants. Compared to others who used their naked eyes to determine the different shapes and colors of the other party, his mental power directly detected the energy. The entire area was flashing with similar energy, which could only be one plant.
No mutant plants more powerful than this one were found in the surrounding area, and Lu Weiyi was sure that this was the one that attacked them.
The telescope could clearly see signs of a fight still left on the ground. The low trees near the edge of the jungle were broken in uneven pieces, with broken branches and leaves scattered all over the ground, and bright red blood could be seen in the hidden gaps.
A deep pit of several dozen meters has made Lu Weiyi certain that this is where the previous explosion occurred.
There are only two situations in which the crystal core of a mutant will explode. One is that there is too much zombie energy accumulated in the body, which occurs during an upgrade; the other is that the mutant's superpowers get out of control due to emotional excitement, causing the energy of the crystal core itself in the body to explode.
The latter situation rarely happens, and in the previous life it was only gradually spread after a few years. In this life, Lu Weiyi has never heard of such a situation.
Wonder what they went through?
Although Lu Weiyi felt that the gathering place was dangerous at first, it was the only open place nearby, which allowed him to better reunite with his teammates. Now that it was confirmed that someone had died, he immediately decided to change the location.
Looking around, there was only that one spot where no plants grew, while the rest were covered with dense forests that stretched to the horizon.
He now has to meet up with the other team members before they arrive nearby, otherwise the others will get close without knowing and more lives will be lost.
He didn't dare mention the possible death when he contacted Lu Xiao before. Even though Lu Xiao had made preparations the moment he learned about the plane crash, he didn't know how to bring it up.
