Chapter 491: Mr. Zheng
"Captain Lu..." Qian Min had been thinking from the beginning that the law does not hold everyone responsible, and if everyone concealed the truth and took the responsibility together, the other party would not dare to attack so many people, so he planned to take a chance.
Now that he found that the teams he had secretly notified had all appeared, Lu Xiao showed no sign of relaxing and immediately became nervous.
Lu Xiao ignored his words and waved his hand. Dozens of people were immediately taken away with their mouths covered.
As soon as the other person left, a group of people came to the door in a mighty manner, led by the previous head of the Zheng family, Zheng Yi's grandfather, Zheng Congzhong.
This man used to be Lu Xiao's boss, but later the Zheng family split into two factions, and Lu Xiao joined the family. However, compared to the more selfish old man of the family, General Zheng fought his way up on the battlefield and has an extremely strong sense of patriotism.
Before he could speak, Lu Xiao said first, "Grandpa, you've done a bad job of teaching your grandson. He's always trying to be friendly with my nephew and get benefits, but then he turns around and stabs me in the back. It's really a disgrace to your Zheng family."
"The news isn't confirmed yet, and everyone else knows to sit tight, but he's in a hurry to step forward. He has a really unstable temper." He shook his head and complained with a hopeless expression.
"He definitely needs some training," Old Zheng glared at Zheng Yi, trying to exonerate him. "But he certainly wouldn't do something like stabbing his brother in the back. There must be a misunderstanding."
Of the three major forces in Kyoto, except for Lu Xiao, who has a blood relationship with him, the harmonious and friendly relations between the remaining two and Yueban Bay are almost known to the world.
Especially every time they came and went, Zhuang Mingxu would make it full of ceremony when sending something, letting everyone know that they had a very good personal relationship. On the one hand, this made other bases fearful of taking action against them, and on the other hand, it was to prevent the two groups from taking action at any time.
The higher you are in a position, the more you need character to support you. You can be vicious, have low morals, or even have no legal awareness, but if you are ruthless to friends who treat you well, then people around you should consider whether this person is suitable to follow.
At this moment, Mr. Zheng understood at a glance where Lu Xiao was leading him, and hurriedly said, "Zheng Yi! Tell your Uncle Lu what's going on?"
No matter how slow Zheng Yi was, he could still sense it and broke out in a cold sweat on his back. "I didn't backstab my friend. I just received news that Uncle Lu sent out a helicopter to attack the psychics, so I came here to inquire about the situation."
Lu Xiao looked at him with a smile, not saying whether he believed it or not.
"The superpower conference organized by us in Kyoto has just ended. If the superpowers in the base are intercepted, Zheng Yi is also worried that people in other bases will think too much." Old Master Zheng helped Zheng Yi to exonerate himself and reminded Lu Xiao of the seriousness of the matter, hinting that he should not make things out of control.
He patted Zheng Yi on the back and said, "I told you to keep a low profile. You are so young and always surrounded by people wherever you go. You caused your Uncle Lu to misunderstand you, and you haven't apologized to him yet."
"...Sorry, Uncle Lu, I didn't mean anything else." Zheng Yi was suppressed like this in public, but his expression did not change, which showed that he was able to keep his composure.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, just talk it out. How can I, an uncle, argue with a junior?" After Mr. Zheng handed over the Zheng family to Zheng Yi after the end of the world, he began to live out his days in retirement. Lu Xiao still had to give him face, and took advantage of Zheng Yi's words, made a gesture of invitation, and drove him away.
"Don't worry, I also heard that there were some mistakes in your trip this time." After Mr. Zheng finished speaking, he saw that the smile on Lu Xiao's face had faded a little, so he stopped talking, "If you need rescue, you can come to Zheng's army at any time."
Lu Xiao looked at him intently. Old Master Zheng said frankly, "The emergence of every high-level psychic is a treasure for mankind and plays a vital role in our fight against zombies. None of them can be sacrificed in vain."
He turned his head and looked at the various teams that had followed Zheng Yi. He stood straight and said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "As a countryman with courage, you should shed your blood on the battlefield and on the road to making a living for all mankind, instead of hiding in safe houses to engage in intrigue and consume our hard-earned psychics."
"Today, I, Zheng Congzhong, on behalf of the entire Zheng Family Army, am making this clear: Anyone who tries to do something unbecoming to me is against my Zheng Family Army and will be thrown into the front line of the War of Resistance."
Everyone said that the existing people with superpowers should gather their strength to fight against the zombies, but while they were saying it, they were secretly making their own plans.
Lu Xiao knew it in his heart but was powerless to do anything. But when Mr. Zheng stood up again with gray hair, he felt once again the transitional era when the country went from turmoil to peace.
It is because of their mountain-like backs that the country can return to peace.
There was silence around for a moment, and at this moment a buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky again, coming from far away and getting louder and louder.
Everyone looked at Lu Xiao at the same time, thinking that he had taken out some killer trick again, but then they saw Lu Xiao frowning and looking at the distant sky with a puzzled look.
In a short while, several black spots appeared in the sky and flew towards the Kyoto base at an extremely fast speed, leaving a long trail behind them.
"Is it... J-20?" Mr. Zheng asked uncertainly.
Lu Xiao was also so shocked that his mouth could not close. He looked up and saw four enemy fighter planes suddenly turn around when they were approaching the airspace of the base. With a bang, several fireballs instantly shot towards the mutant birds that had been following them closely.
The fire dragon, with its long tail, attacked and burned, and in a moment it pushed the mutant birds and beasts away from the vicinity of Kyoto Base. With shrill screams, the bodies of the birds and beasts fell to the ground with clusters of flames. When no mutant birds and beasts caught up, the five planes flew towards the inner city of Kyoto Base.
The leader parked directly on the top floor of the Flame Office Building. Then a young figure appeared on the roof of the fourth floor, waving and shouting to the people below, "Dad!"
"Xiaoxi!" Lu Xiao laughed and took a step forward. Lu Xi jumped down. At the height of the fourth floor, he was completely unprotected. Knowing his special abilities, Lu Xiao's face suddenly changed. Without waiting for him to say anything, a giant plant net suddenly formed around him and caught Lu Xi who was about to land. It also bounced him twice like a trampoline.
Lu Xi chuckled and climbed up to stand up. The giant plant net retreated back to the ground, leaving only traces of holes pierced by the roots of the plants.
"I have completed the task assigned by my brother. I have some vacation time, so I will come back to see you," Lu Xi said, pointing to the five fighter jets they drove over. "The latest model of fighter jets, whether it is fuel or weapons, all consume crystal cores."
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked. Crystal core fuel was a problem that all bases had been working on, but the progress was not smooth. The utilization rate of the researched results was very low and it was not suitable for use at all. No one had expected that Yueban Bay could actually use this new energy directly in combat weapons.
If Zheng Yi didn't think there was anything wrong before, he was really a little scared now.
Lu Xi waved his small hand and said in a rather heroic manner, "Are you happy that your son is honoring you?"
"Really?" Before Lu Xiao could say anything, Cong Qing stepped forward and looked up at the fighter plane that was several stories high. There was a man standing upright on it. He should be the pilot from before. "Xiaoxi, you are not kidding us, are you?"
"What are you talking about, Uncle Cong? I'm so awesome, aren't I?" Lu Xi pouted unhappily, took out a sack of crystal cores from the space, pushed it towards Lu Xiao, and said with his chin raised, "This is my salary and bonus, I'll leave it for you to use in your retirement."
Even though Lu Xiao's face was wrinkled with smile, he remained motionless. Instead, the person following Lu Xiao quickly stepped forward, reached out to untie the sack, and found that it was full of B-grade crystal cores, without even a single lowest-grade one.
"Did your brother give you too much?" Lu Xiao was worried again that his nephew would suffer.
"Those were all before, this time it's this." Lu Xi stretched out his hand towards Lu Xiao, revealing three crystal cores that seemed to be burning with bright red flames. There was no need to test them. The energy that people around could feel was enough to confirm that this was a high-level crystal core.
"My brother promised me to complete the research, and this time he gave me a high-level fire crystal core. These are all A-level crystal cores. To advance to S-level, you need a high-level crystal core. It will be safer for you to absorb it with this."
If the previous crystal cores just made Lu Xiao happy, then these three really touched his heart. Lu Xiao rubbed Lu Xi's hair with his big hand and took it, "See? This is the benefit of having a son."
"Even if we have a son, he can't reach this level."
"That's right, Captain. A child as outstanding as Xiaoxi must be blessed with great fortune. Did he just come here casually?"
"I just want to ask the Major General, which Buddha did you worship at the beginning? I will also hurry up and worship him. See if it's too late."
When the people around Lu Xiao kept complimenting him, Lu Xi seemed to have just noticed the other people in the courtyard and asked inexplicably, "Dad, are you...what's wrong?"
"Is this the child of Major General Lu? I heard he's a talented scientist?" Old Master Zheng asked first. He had a kind face and didn't have any of his previous toughness.
"This is General Zheng," Lu Xiao introduced.
"Hello Grandpa, I'm Lu Xi, the then vice president of the Yuebanwan Weapons Research Center," Lu Xi introduced herself gracefully.
"To be able to become the vice president at such a young age, you must be a very talented child. The future needs children like you, and the country needs you to save it."
As Mr. Zheng spoke, he took out an old medal from his inner pocket. It was full of traces of time, but surprisingly well preserved. He handed it carefully to Lu Xi and held his hand tightly, "This is the first medal I got for protecting the people in turbulent times. Now I give it to you."
"The future belongs to you. You need to fight and work hard to recreate our peacetime glory!"
These words sound like a handover from one era to another, full of expectations and hope.
