Chapter 539: The Boy Running Towards Love
"Later, he became the captain and was responsible for the lives of his teammates. He also had a company and was responsible for his partners and employees who followed him in starting a business. He was also responsible for his wife, his children, his teammates, and the people of the entire base..."
Ning Yuan answered the doubts in everyone's mind. Under the pressure of such huge mountains, even the most lively person would calm down.
The heartache only lasted for a second, and he wailed, "This bastard has completely given up on the base!"
This means there will be endless things to come...
The people in the living room figured it out and sat up straight. Antonio, who was sitting in the corner, stretched lazily as if nothing had happened and said to Dean beside him, "Baby, I think my body may need your examination."
"Are you injured?" Dean stood up anxiously and pulled him to the second floor, "Let me check you out."
“Hey, you haven’t even experienced close combat…” Ning Yuan pointed at Antonio, making him run faster.
"Brother, the mutant vine was burned by fire. Let's go and take a look together?" Gu Qingji quickly pulled Gu Qingyue's hand and followed the two people in front of him upstairs. Before Ning Yuan could speak, he disappeared in the corridor.
Ning Yuan crossed his arms and looked at the other people in the living room, forcing a smile. He saw Xiong Jie glancing around as if nothing had happened, and coughed awkwardly, "Xi Shi, is there anything to eat at home? I feel hungry again."
"Yes, I'll get it for you." Xi Shi, who was out of state, immediately stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Xiong Jie followed him quickly and closed the kitchen door neatly.
Xu Sa looked at Lin Yimu and Li Qing on his left, and Ning Yuan who was standing against the wall on his right, and suddenly missed Liu Rui a little. He stood up as if nothing had happened, turned his waist, and walked towards the building.
"The owner of this base seems to be Lu?" Ning Yuan suddenly said.
Without waiting for anyone to answer, he sighed, "I always tell him to make more friends so that he can be used when it matters, but he just doesn't listen. Now look what happened... Oh..."
Xu Sa stepped onto the stairs and paused, then looked up at the four figures who were peeking and eavesdropping at the corner of the stairs.
"Oh...character..." Ning Yuan's voice came louder.
Xu Sa turned around speechlessly and sat back on the sofa. "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
As he turned around, the few people who had left reluctantly returned to the living room, and Ning Yuan's face suddenly broke into a smile.
Before Zheng Yi returned to the base, the news that his men had broken into the joint research institute and caused thousands of deaths had spread to all the bases.
Even though Yuebanwan provided definite evidence, it still took the initiative to admit that there was security negligence, took part of the responsibility, and promised to give partial compensation to each base. As for the bulk of the money, it would naturally be paid by Zheng's army.
The entire Zheng family army has already been over-consumed in order to push Zheng Yi, an S-level psychic, to the next level, and now there is a huge expense hanging over their heads. This has caused many people in the family to become dissatisfied with Zheng Yi's leadership.
There are more than 2,000 researchers, the largest number of whom are located in the Kyoto base. In order to control these researchers and prevent them from defecting, each of them had their family members kept in the Kyoto base. Now these family members have spontaneously formed a team and blocked the Zheng family office to demand compensation.
Many of them belonged to the Guards and Flame Team, which made it impossible for the Zheng family to even suppress them by force.
But if it comes to compensation, even if the entire Zheng family is emptied, they still can't come up with so many crystal cores.
A second voice gradually began to emerge within the Zheng family army, which knew the inside story.
When Lu Xiao told Zhuang Mingxu about these things, he could not hide his sigh in his tone, and he did not forget to ask about the authenticity of the incident.
He had some understanding of Yuebanwan's hidden strength, and he absolutely did not believe that it was possible for someone to break into such an important place without alerting anyone, let alone silence all the different voices in the institute by such a coincidence.
[There are still researchers here, so the project can continue.] After Zhuang Mingxu gave the hint, he informed the other party of the situation of the zombie army and reminded them to [hurry up and investigate the source of the leading zombies and solve the problem fundamentally].
[Zheng Yi single-handedly diverted the attention of all the teams in Kyoto base to the struggle between bases. How could they put so much energy on this?]
The disunity among the people has made the entire Kyoto base seem like a pile of loose sand. He even hopes that Zheng Yi can successfully upgrade as soon as possible.
At least he has successfully upgraded and is considered a prominent leader. He now has the strength to unite all teams to face the outside world. There may even be clingers from other bases who worry that the same danger will happen in their own bases and decide to fight together, instead of each taking care of their own business.
Lu Xiao looked at the message sent to him and combined it with the current situation of the major teams in Kyoto, he suddenly felt powerless.
He felt that the Kyoto base might not be able to survive this time.
But these have nothing to do with Zhuang Mingxu anymore. He said, "I will go to Laoshan to bring Xiaoyi back soon. The return date is not yet determined."
【if……】
[If you can’t hold on any longer, bring people here].
Worried that Lu Xiao would behave stubbornly again, Zhuang Mingxu added, "Please take care of Ai Yi for us."
Until there is a guarantee that a new SS-level psychic will appear in Yueban Bay, Zhuang Mingxu will not agree to the psychics of the base to go to support Kyoto.
Zheng Yi has already planned to attack Yuebanwan. If their psychics are killed or wounded again, after fighting the zombies, the most likely situation they will face is that everyone will turn around and target Yuebanwan.
He wanted to nip all such possibilities in the bud, even if...
The prerequisite for doing so is the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the Kyoto base.
【good】.
After a long time, Lu Xiao replied.
Before leaving, Zhuang Mingxu took the time to visit the new research institute.
Like the weapons research and development center, the new research institute was built underground on the South Island, occupying a different location and with a structure almost identical to the original one.
When it was completed, Zhuang Mingxu went to check it out.
"A few days ago, I saw Dean Sun and his students rummaging through the ruins, trying to restore as many experimental instruments as possible." Ning Yuan informed Antonio of the places where metal-related psychics were needed. After he led the team away, he lowered his voice and asked, "You wouldn't have left those precious instruments there, did you?"
Zhuang Mingxu gave him a look that asked him if he was stupid, and Ning Yuan immediately laughed.
"There are all kinds of useless and broken machines in there. We have people counting and searching for them. On the one hand, it is for the sake of authenticity, and on the other hand, it is also for the purpose of finding them and reusing them." After all, their base does not have a factory that manufactures some metals, so whenever they need them, they directly modify things that existed before the end of the world.
"We'll ask them to move in later," Zhuang Mingxu said, then turned around and asked, "How are those experts doing?"
Ning Yuan laughed foolishly, "I have to say, they are really smart people. When they woke up and realized something was wrong, they immediately united to make trouble and put pressure on others."
Zhuang Mingxu raised his eyebrows and looked over.
"Antonio killed several of the most violent ones. They were starved and locked up for a few days, and now they are all well behaved." Ning Yuan was disdainful. These scholars were praised too highly and some of them could not recognize the current world.
"Let them start the experiment as soon as possible. It's been five years and we can't wait."
Ning Yuan thought of the newly infected mutants he saw outside, and a sense of anxiety arose in his heart.
**
Zhuang Mingxu left on a cold morning.
The temperature change between autumn and winter is extremely fast. Within a few days, the nights begin to freeze and the daytime temperatures begin to drop significantly.
A team of members stood in front of the villa, hugged him goodbye, and said with a smile that they would wait for them to come back.
Zhuang Aiyi buried her head in his shoulder, crying silently, and kept telling him that she must come back.
He seemed to feel the significance of this farewell, either a family reunion or a farewell forever.
Zhuang Mingxu kissed his hair lightly without responding.
He did not ask anyone to see him off. He carried his luggage alone and strode away in the cold wind, just like many years ago, when he had let go of everything and ran towards his love.
The end of the world has weathered his appearance and tempered his character, but in the end...
He is still the boy who was willing to do anything for his lover.
***
They have traveled the route to and from Laoshan several times, and this trip might be the last one in winter.
The temperature continues to drop, which will affect the use of the helicopter. If Lu Weiyi cannot wake up for a while, the next time he comes back may be after the spring.
The long winter is when Yueban Bay is most vulnerable to attack. The surrounding islands are frozen and mutant animals will go out less in low temperatures. It is a good time for various bases to unite.
If we miss this opportunity, the cost of manpower and material resources will be huge if we want to take action against Yueban Bay in the future.
Zhuang Mingxu looked back at the gradually shrinking base and prayed that they could get through this safely.
"Base commander, we may encounter attacks from mutant birds and the road may be bumpy. Don't unfasten your seat belt. If you get airsick..." Zhou He, who was traveling with him, handed him a crumpled plastic bag and said, "Just take it."
Nowadays, this thing is no longer produced and every plastic bag needs to be recycled, which naturally looks unpleasant.
Zhuang Mingxu did not say arrogantly that he would not do it. He took it swiftly and joked, "Thank you. I forgot that this situation might happen. If I had known, I would have eaten less breakfast."
"Not really. Our drivers have been back and forth many times. They are familiar with the route and have honed their skills."
"Speaking of which, it seems that the team that Zheng Jun stationed at Laoshan before was your team? Why is it you again this time? Have the superpowers of other team members been upgraded well?" Zhuang Mingxu glanced around and found that all the people in the cabin were from Zhou He's team 4.
"Commander Ning is worried that the base will be attacked in winter, so he wants to keep most of the combat power in the base to preserve strength. It happens that the strength of our team is in the middle, and he can rest assured if we stay at Laoshan alone." Zhou He glanced at the brothers who were traveling with him, "There will be no personnel exchange in the short term this time."
Knowing that Ning Yuan had a plan in mind, Zhuang Mingxu did not continue to ask questions. After chatting for a few minutes, the matter got back on track.
