Chapter 558: Daughter's Request for Help
"Uncle Lu, I'm here." Dean ran up to him happily, reached out to take off his clothes with a distressed look on his face, and asked where he was injured.
Lu Xiao briefly told him about a few places and asked about their safety along the way.
Dean kept talking, and his supernatural power was quickly moving around Lu Xiao's body. His hands were constantly peeling off the clothes that were stuck to his wounds.
Lu Xi stood with his back to the two of them, with a mental protective shield firmly protecting the three of them.
In front of the three people, a tight battle line formed by the S-level psychics of the Yuebanwan Team protected them tightly, and no psychic attacks could hurt them.
"Uncle, you are seriously injured. Why is there no psychic here?" Dean deliberately raised his voice.
When Lu Xiao looked over, he quietly pointed at Lu Xi's back and said silently with his mouth, "Angry!"
Lu Xiao nodded with a tired smile on his face.
"The healing department is with the main force. There are too many S-level zombies here, and it's easy to cause casualties." Lu Xiao answered Dean's question and said to Lu Xi cautiously, "Xiaoxi, do you have food and water in your space? Dad hasn't eaten for a day and a night."
Lu Xi moved her body, but still stubbornly turned her back to him and did not move.
The other high-level psychics who were sitting next to him waiting for treatment looked at the tough Major General Lu with curiosity as he was rarely humble.
"Ahem... Creek..."
Lu Xiao coughed weakly a few times, and kept glancing in the direction of Lu Xi. When he saw his body stiffen, his heart immediately felt sour.
He has just reached adulthood, and although he suffered a little in the early days of the apocalypse, he has been able to get whatever he wants at the Yuebanwan base with Lu Weiyi's protection for so long. He had used all kinds of tricks before just to get him to consider himself. He had clearly promised him, but he didn't know how sad and scared he felt when he heard the message he left.
Thinking about his nephew's uncertain future, Lu Xiao felt that he was not a good father and could no longer pretend to be weak.
Lu Xi turned around slowly, took out a few bottles of water from the space and gave them to the comrades beside him. Amid their thanks, he opened a bottle for Lu Xiao and put it in his hand, and then took out some hot buns.
From beginning to end, his expression was very calm, which made the onlookers feel a little uneasy. Several teammates stole glances at Lu Xiao.
"Dad, I did blame you at first, but then I figured it out." Lu Xi's voice was low, somewhere between the clarity of a teenager and the calmness of an adult. He took off Lu Xiao's clothes stained with blood and put on a new windshield. "When Brother Mingxu went to find my brother, he hugged Zhuang Aiyi and was silent for a long time. I thought he didn't love Aiyi, but his eyes were red as if he had been crying."
"He said that there is something more important in everyone's heart, and in his heart my brother is more important than Ai Yi, so he did his best to settle everything for Ai Yi, but chose to stay with my brother."
"I didn't understand it at the time, but after thinking about it all the way here, I seemed to understand it. In your heart, your persistence in belief is more important than mine."
"..." Lu Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but he didn't know where to start. He really felt that Lu Xi would be safe for a short time, so he decided to stay.
He wants to do his best to create a possibility for human beings to unite in the future, and he hopes that the people he cares about can have a future.
"Xiaoxi..." Lu Xiao looked at Lu Xi with heartache.
"It's okay. My brother has helped me and taken care of me the best he could. It's my duty to take care of his child. I shouldn't put the responsibility on you just because I'm weak." Lu Xi said seriously, looking at Lu Xiao as if to assure him, "Dad, don't worry, I will grow up soon."
For a moment, Lu Xiao felt that his son, who had depended on him since childhood and would still act like a spoiled child to him even when he grew up, seemed to be completely away from him at this moment. It was not an outward distance, but a distance in his heart - the child had completely grown into a big tree and no longer needed the mother tree above his head to shelter him from the wind and rain.
He felt a little relieved, but more distressed. He didn't expect that the person who would help him grow up completely mentally would be himself.
The people around are exhausted and talking in low voices. There is an energy shock caused by the collision of various superpowers in front of you. The stench and blood are everywhere. It is not a good time to say these things, but it is the most suitable environment for growth.
Unfortunately, Dean didn't know how to read people's faces. Seeing that the two were talking well and had no intention of falling out, after helping Lu Xiao heal his wounds, he stood up, patted Lu Xi on the shoulder, and spoke in the unique foreign accent, "Good boy, be good to your daddy. Don't be like me. I miss my daddy so much."
He glanced towards the country on the other side of the ocean, not daring to think too much, and immediately walked towards the other injured person.
Lu Xi opened her mouth and wanted to say something to him, but seeing that he looked serious, she didn't know what to say.
When Lu Xiao saw that his cheeks were puffed up like a little puffer fish because of the naive Dean, he burst out laughing.
The tense atmosphere suddenly eased.
"Dad apologizes to you. I saw that there was a possibility of holding on, so I wanted to work hard to promote the formation of an anti-zombie alliance. I have asked them to be ready. If the situation goes wrong, we will leave immediately. I am sorry to have made you worry."
Seeing Lu Xiao lower his head like this, Lu Xi snorted and didn't care anymore. He took out two A-grade fire crystal cores from the space and secretly stuffed them into his hands.
The childish behavior made Lu Xiao smile with his white teeth again, which made all his teammates feel that it was simply unbearable to watch.
As Dean healed several members of the Lieyan team and moved to the side, Lu Xi quickly stood up and followed him. His mental power covered Dean's body like an invisible and tough membrane.
The feeling of being so enclosed that even the breeze could not get close to the body was noticed by Dean, who was the least sensitive to the flow of supernatural powers.
He turned his head to look at Lu Xi, and saw that Lu Xi's young face was solemn, and his whole body was tense, guarding against any psychic who approached them.
He used all his vigilance to create a safe little world for him.
This kind of undisguised vigilance naturally would not escape the crowd of psychics who were fighting all day long. They would laugh at the young man for not knowing how to cover up, but they dared not take any actual action. After all, they were all S-level psychics, and if they really caused him to misunderstand and take action, they would be the only ones who would suffer.
There was a constant melee in front with Xu Sa and his group, but they used their special powers to cooperate with each other tacitly. It was just that there were too many people, and not everyone could see the order in their chaos.
Lu Xiao stared for a while, and when he realized that they could handle it, he simply leaned against the wall with his arms under his head to take a rest, with no intention of getting up to help.
Some people from other teams were watching the show at first, and when they saw that most of the S-level zombies were killed, they tacitly hid and slacked off, until a psychic discovered that they had killed zombies and taken away the crystal cores directly. They even dug out the crystal cores of zombies that they had killed before without any moral ethics. Only then did they panic.
We are all S-level psychics, who wouldn't be jealous of an S-level crystal core? No one would be willing to let it fall into someone else's hands, but...
Someone quietly looked at the members of the three major teams. The members of Lieyan were sleeping with their eyes closed. They could even hear their snoring, as if they were not affected at all by the roar of the zombies a few dozen meters ahead. Lu Xiao was listening to the battle reports from other places with a communicator.
The Zheng family soldiers were all anxious to eat to replenish their energy. Captain Zheng Yi never took his eyes off the front. He looked so focused that it seemed as if he hadn't noticed their actions, but he had no intention of stepping out.
All the guards, including Zhao Qiang, were absorbing crystal cores. Zhao Qiang was even very friendly and asked Lu Xi if he had any purification crystal cores on him. He was willing to exchange them for double the amount.
The indifference of several people gave other psychics the illusion that the crystal cores would all belong to the base. This perception made them even less willing to come forward to work.
Without dozens of psychics, it was not so easy for Yuebanwan and his group to fight back, which instead aroused the ferocity of everyone.
When Lu Weiyi forced them to upgrade before, he used battles that pushed their physical limits time and time again. At this time, this forced-out physical memory was brought to the extreme, and everyone showed an attitude that was even less afraid of death than the zombies. Their superpowers were stretched and closed, without any regard for anything. The battle line that was originally being pushed towards the base by the S-level zombies began to shrink outwards.
command post.
After Li Yan greeted the heads of each base, he and Mr. Zheng started to monitor the situation at the front line.
The continuous sound of artillery fire made the entire command room tremble from time to time. The bright flames from the distance, which were different from those of fire-type mutants, made people feel more secure.
As the zombies were suppressed back to the vicinity of the city gate, Li Yan thought that the earth-type mutants he brought with him no longer had any negotiating advantage.
Suddenly, a huge fire broke out in the villa area of the city, followed by several explosions.
"Is that a fire ability?"
"How could there be fire abilities there? Aren't all the high-level abilities supposed to be on the front lines now?"
"That's... where the various teams in Kyoto live, right?"
"Shouldn't fire-type mutants of this level be on the front lines right now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of people from all bases turned to Mr. Zheng at the same time, as if they were silently questioning him.
Before Mr. Zheng could ask, his private phone rang first.
Mr. Zheng took a look, frowned and hung up the phone, but it continued to ring.
Li Yan, who was standing next to him, clearly saw the name written on it was the old man's daughter Zheng Tongzhen. Seeing that he was about to hang up again, he said considerately, "General, please answer it. Maybe there is something going on at home."
Mr. Zheng pursed his lips and nodded, then glanced at the guard behind him and said, "Ask what happened in the villa area..."
"Dad, help! Zombies have entered the base and are rummaging around. Several villas have been destroyed..."
A woman's voice came from the phone, which had poor sound insulation, and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"What do you mean? Explain clearly."
"I was worried about Miaomiao and wanted to wait for her in the villa, so I didn't go to the underground shelter and stayed in the villa, but...but..." Zheng Tongzhen's voice trembled.
