Chapter 61 The Messenger Knocks on the Door
As soon as these words came out, the other people immediately looked over, with varying expressions of surprise and delight.
"Young Master, you...can..." Lin Yimu asked first.
Lu Weiyi knew what he was going to ask, shook his head and replied directly, "No."
"and you?"
"He is a person with super powers," Lu Weiyi replied, looking at Li Zhuang and raising his eyebrows.
Li Zhuang lowered his head and laughed for a while, then bowed with both hands, bent down and arched in the direction of Lu Weiyi, "Please, young master, please save me."
Although Lu Weiyi held back his laughter, his bright eyes showed that he was very happy, like a smug cat. He cleared his throat and said reluctantly, "Since you've begged me, then... okay. I'll wait."
Having said that, Lu Weiyi turned around and went back to the room. The others were worried that it was some secret recipe or something, so they were too embarrassed to follow him in to take a look. After a moment, Lu Weiyi took out half a bottle of black water that contained something unknown and handed it to Li Zhuang.
"Are you... sure?" Li Zhuang was a little skeptical about the half-empty bottle.
"If you don't believe me, give it back to me." Lu Weiyi reached out to grab it with dissatisfaction.
"Believe it, believe it," Li Zhuang said, and he tilted his head back and drank it down in one gulp. With his frown on his face, it was obvious that it was not that delicious.
"What's that smell?" Antonio asked in a low voice.
"Would you like to try it?" Li Zhuang held the empty bottle, unable to describe the taste in his mouth. It wasn't that bad, but it was just indescribably strange.
Antonio shook his head, took the water handed to him by Dean and gave it to Li Zhuang.
Li Zhuang took a few more sips and rinsed his mouth, then asked Lu Weiyi, "Is it ok?"
Lu Weiyi nodded and said, "It will probably hurt for a while."
The zombie energy entering the body of a psychic is just like an ordinary person being infected, except that the psychic's body will slow down the spread. In addition, the psychic's body is adaptable and will not be infected by zombie energy that is lower than their body strength. It's like a late-stage A-level psychic will not be infected by B-level zombies, but will be infected by S-level zombies. However, they will still feel uncomfortable. As for the degree of discomfort and when it occurs, it depends on the psychic's situation.
Some people with special abilities can directly use their special abilities to resist the zombie energy and expel it directly. This process is just like the martial arts masters on TV using their powers to detoxify. Similarly, if they continue to use their special abilities after being bitten, it will accelerate the spread of energy loss and the onset of discomfort until the special abilities in the body automatically expel the zombie energy.
"How about eating first? I can't die of starvation even if I die," Li Zhuang suggested, not noticing any discomfort.
There was no point in just waiting, so the others nodded in agreement, and Xi Shi immediately went back to the stove to heat up the food. The things in the kitchen were all ones he had just used, and you could see at a glance that they had been touched.
"What's wrong?" asked Xiong Jie, who was helping to light the fire.
Xi Shi whispered to him about his discovery. The previous few people who came in were all hiding from the zombie cats. Their minds were on the outside and it was impossible for them to come and touch the seasonings. As for the rest... only Lu Weiyi came in...
Xiong Jie also thought of it, but seeing that Li Zhuang outside did not show any signs of turning into a zombie, he shook his head at Xi Shi, indicating that he should pretend not to know.
Xi Shi nodded, Ma Liao heated up a few dishes, and cooked more than a dozen freshly made buns.
Li Zhuang didn't act interested, and it was inappropriate for others to keep paying attention to him. They ate the meal enthusiastically until the end, when Li Zhuang's expression changed slightly.
Sitting next to him were Antonio and Lin Yimu, who had been keeping an eye on him and started asking questions immediately.
"It hurts a little... " Li Zhuang didn't feel any discomfort except that his face looked a little ugly. Lu Weiyi took a clean knife and cut a few cuts on his arm where he was grabbed. Black blood immediately flowed out.
Several people who were eating stopped and looked at this scene in silence.
Only when the black blood stains on the wound gradually faded and turned bright red did the few people breathe a sigh of relief.
"Little friend, am I not..."
"Bang...Squeak..." The car suddenly braked, followed by "bang bang bang" knocks on the door.
The force alone doesn't sound like an intention to make friends.
Antonio and Lin Yimu stood up and quickly picked up their weapons. They stood at the front and asked, "Who is it?"
Gu Qingyue helped Li Zhuang up and walked into the house. Xi Shi and Dean quickly cleaned up the table, and the others also picked up their weapons, ready to be on guard at any time.
"A... person." Lu Weiyi was a little unsure of the result of his mental probe. To be traveling so late at night must be a person of great skill and courage, or he must be unafraid of crowds.
Antonio always felt that Lu Weiyi was hiding something and never doubted what he said. Lin Yimu had taken care of Lu Weiyi for many years, so naturally he would not question it. At this time, the two looked at each other and walked towards the door vigilantly.
Then I heard the hoarse voice of the person outside, "Excuse me...Did anyone come from the direction of Shangyang Lake about an hour ago?"
An hour ago?
Their group arrived at Shangyang Lake two hours ago, and they had been here for exactly an hour. No one in front of them was crossing the river, and as for the group behind them, it would probably take a while for them to leave, so he should be talking about their group.
"Yes," Lin Yimu replied, and walked forward and carefully opened the door. Antonio stood behind him, making sure that the two of them could cooperate to control the people outside the door at any time. "Are you looking for someone?"
The man at the door was holding a hammer, and his eyes were shining. The moment he saw Lin Yimu, he immediately became excited. The hammer in his hand moved, which immediately aroused Antonio's vigilance. He controlled a flying knife and stuck it directly on the man's neck, warning, "Don't move."
The man paused, threw away the hammer in his hand, and shouted to Lin Yimu, "Lone Wolf."
"You?" Lin Yimu looked him up and down, but in the dim light he couldn't recognize who it was.
"Ning Yuan?" It was Lu Weiyi who was not far away who recognized him based on a wolf tooth pendant sticking out from his neck. It was when they were on a mission in the army and encountered a pack of wolves. He was bitten by a wolf and the blood remained in his body. After taking it out, he made it into a pendant and said it was a hero's medal, and he has been wearing it ever since.
"Wei Yi" Ning Yuan almost cried when he saw Lu Wei Yi, "I finally found you."
"You...you are Ning Yuan?" Lin Yimu was a little bit unbelieving. In his memory, Ning Yuan was a stinky show-off who could change several sets of clothes a day and night. He was as fashionable as a peacock that would spread its tail at any time. He had nothing to do with the dirty coal ball in front of him.
"Yes." Ning Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to his indescribable look and shouted to Lu Weiyi, "Weiyi, Mingxu is in trouble."
"Bang!" The machete in Lu Weiyi's hand fell to the ground. "What... did you say?"
His voice was shaking, and he didn't even notice it.
Lin Yimu let Ning Yuan into the yard. Antonio looked outside and locked the door again.
"What happened to Mingxu? Tell me more specifically." Lin Yimu was a little anxious when he heard that Zhuang Mingxu was in trouble. He had no relatives. He had been with Lu Weiyi and Zhuang Mingxu for these years, and his condition was no different from that of his relatives. "Did he become a zombie or... die?"
"Neither, Mingxu was captured." Ning Yuan's voice was very hoarse.
Upon hearing that the person was fine, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Many of them had seen how Lu Weiyi waited for people every day. If he was gone, they really didn't know what to do with this seemingly weak young man.
Gu Qingyue took a bottle of water, unscrewed it and handed it over, "Drink some water first and talk slowly."
"Thank you." Ning Yuan didn't hesitate and drank half the bottle. Then he looked at Lu Weiyi and told him about their experience after the earthquake. "He stayed with Ai Yi, saying that he wanted to buy time for us. Who knew that Zheng Xin betrayed us? He wanted to kill me on the way but failed. I don't know what Mingxu will face if he returns? He also has a child..."
As long as the person is still alive, Lu Weiyi is not worried, but, "Who is Aiyi...?"
Ning Yuan was stunned for a long time, and the look in Lin Yimu's eyes when he looked at Lu Weiyi was hard to describe. After a moment, he took the initiative to say, "Young Master, your child with Mingxu is Zhuang Aiyi."
child?
How could two men have a child?
Not only Lu Weiyi thought so, everyone present had the same idea. Xu Sa asked directly, "You had a surrogate pregnancy?"
"No...right?" Lu Weiyi had lived in the apocalypse for several years, not just a month away from Qingyuan as they thought, so his memory of some things from the past was still a little vague.
"It was cultivated using the double sperm cultivation technology," Lin Yimu answered for him.
"There is such technology?" Xiong Jie looked like he had never seen the world before. After sighing, he glanced at the others and found that they had the same expression as him. He suddenly felt that it was not that he was short-sighted, but that others were too advanced.
"The world of rich people is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people," Xu Sa said with a cynical look.
"Agree," Gu Qingyue said in a low voice.
"+1"
"+1 more"
…
Amid the crowd's responses, Lu Weiyi finally pulled out the image of a weak and crying child from the corner of his memory.
When Zhuang Mingxu fostered Zhuang Aiyi, Lu Weiyi had just reached adulthood and his own mental state had just returned to normal. Plus, he was still young, so he had no feelings about the sudden appearance of a child. In addition, Zhuang Aiyi was in poor health and would only stay at home a few times a year. Before the end of the world, Lu Weiyi's impression of him was that he was weak, and after the end of the world in his previous life, there was no news about him, and Lu Weiyi really couldn't remember such a person for a while.
"He is not..." Something must have happened in the research institute. Lu Weiyi didn't know what to ask this strange child, so he asked another question, "You just said that Zhuang Mingxu has no superpowers?"
"Yeah," Ning Yuan responded.
"How could this be?" Lu Weiyi muttered in a low voice. Has something really changed? Lu Weiyi couldn't describe his feelings at the moment. He was happy that he had found Zhuang Mingxu, but also secretly annoyed that his rebirth seemed to have really changed something.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ning Yuan casually looked around and saw that most of these people were strong and there was no one who could hold them back. He felt that Lu Weiyi was probably just going back to Qingyuan with them, and he probably didn't have the power to order them to save people.
After all, in his memory, Lu Weiyi was not much different from a giant baby. Every aspect of his life was arranged for him by Zhuang Mingxu, from what university to attend and what job to do after graduation to what to eat for breakfast and what clothes to wear. Sometimes he even felt that Zhuang Mingxu was like a nanny, but he enjoyed doing it and no one could say anything.
"Their purpose must be for the supplies that Mingxu prepared in advance. I wonder how Mingxu is doing now?" That group of people was a little crazy. Ning Yuan was a little worried about Zhuang Mingxu's situation.
"If they are here for the supplies, they will definitely not touch Mingxu. We will go back to Qingyuan tonight and ask Wu Yue to call for help..."
"No, let's take a rest tonight," Lu Weiyi, who had been looking at the map, interrupted Ning Yuan.
"Zhuang Mingxu is..." Zhuang Mingxu was trying to race against time, but Lu Weiyi was still waiting timidly for dawn. Ning Yuan chased him all the way and his dissatisfaction with Lu Weiyi reached its peak. Before he could say any words of reprimand, he heard Lu Weiyi speak in his usual cold tone.
"Go directly to Dongshan County early tomorrow morning."
