Chapter 723 Where the Sugar Cube Goes
"I know some good kids. Let me find out more about them. If I really go with you, I will be under your command." Zhuang Mingxu gave a definite answer, and Zhou He immediately smiled happily.
Lu Weiyi woke up at this time and came out yawning. He looked unkempt and slovenly. He walked towards the dining table without washing his hands. He sat down and saw people. His eyes were blank for a long time. He greeted them as if he was stuck, "Have you eaten?"
"...eaten it." Zhou He couldn't help laughing. He had never seen Lu Weiyi like this. He used to be cold and aloof, keeping a distance from everyone. But after waking up this time, the transparent film on his body seemed to have disappeared, and he became much more down-to-earth.
"Don't sleep a little longer? It's the same if I let Zhou He take them there himself," Zhuang Mingxu asked, and went to get water for washing his face. He didn't care about the child and just put the small bowl in front of him, letting him hold the spoon that he couldn't hold steadily and get porridge all over half his face.
Zhou He, who couldn't stand it any longer, stepped forward to take over, clumsily feeding Tao Tao again, and complained, "Lao Zhuang, you are spreading false military intelligence. Didn't you just tell me that you guys discussed this?"
"Didn't you strictly demand that you must upgrade this time? I'm giving you a chance to practice." Zhuang Mingxu didn't think it was abuse of power for personal gain. "You can fight harder without backup, so the chances of upgrading won't be higher, right?"
"You are cruel." Zhou He was blocked and couldn't say anything else.
Before they had their meal, Wu Yue came to inquire about the arrangements.
"It's just right that I don't have to look for you. This is what I thought. While Zhou He is leading the team to upgrade, you and Xiaoyi should go back to the base and explore the way back."
"No." Before anyone else could say anything, Lu Weiyi had already rejected it directly.
"?" Zhuang Mingxu looked at him.
"People like Zhao Gang are unstable. Whether they follow me to the base or stay here, they are time bombs at any time. It is difficult for anyone except me to control them for a long time," Lu Weiyi said seriously, "These people are indeed afraid of death, but the fact that they can climb up without bottom line means that they will stop at nothing and try every way to get out of control."
"I can't possibly keep a group of these killers far away from me," Lu Weiyi decided.
"I saw them this morning..." Zhou He said. Knowing that Lu Weiyi didn't see the scene, he was about to describe it when he saw Lu Weiyi shaking his head.
"It's only a temporary solution, and the effect will weaken over time," Lu Weiyi said. "My original plan was to take them to the Yuebanwan base and then implant a controller in their hearts without the help of a human surgeon, just like..."
He looked at Zhuang Mingxu suggestively. They used this kind of thing to control the spies outside several bases.
"You must go back to the base to explore the way. If it were someone else, who knows what might happen on the way." Zhuang Mingxu put Taotao, who had eaten and drunk his fill, on the ground, and the little tiger urged him to walk out of the yard.
"What if I stay? I should be able to control it a little better," Wu Yue asked.
How could an SS-level person suppress a group of S-level people?
"How about this, after we successfully upgrade, the base commander will go explore the way. I think our team can upgrade at least six or seven psychics this time. So many SS-level ones can at least give us a shock," Zhou He said.
"Okay." After weighing the options, Zhuang Mingxu felt that this was the most appropriate choice at the moment.
"Then you better hurry up next time."
After the four of them had discussed it, Zhou He and Wu Yue prepared to lead the team to the Nanzuo base.
As soon as the team had a chance, they were blocked at the gate by Fangtang and his men, looking at a few adults mixed in with a group of radish-headed people.
Wu Yue looked at Zhou He inquiringly, and seeing that he also shook his head, he asked about the purpose of their visit.
"Brother Zhou, are you leaving?" Fang Tang was silent for a moment and asked tactfully.
"No, we are going to clean up the zombies, what's wrong?" Zhou He didn't think this was something that couldn't be said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the little kids who followed Fangtang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Can we come along?"
"I'm very good at killing zombies." Li Jing waved his fleshless arms and made a ferocious expression, saying viciously, but Zhou He and Wu Yue only saw cuteness in their eyes.
"Me too, I can kill zombies too," Pang Qin responded in a low voice.
"Yes, we are all at a high level and can definitely help."
"Captain Wu, take us with you."
"Brother Zhou, we promise not to fall behind."
"We don't want the crystal cores we got, so we'll give them all to you, okay?"
Everyone started talking at once and knew something was wrong. Zhou He and Wu Yue looked at each other and motioned for everyone to be quiet. Then they looked at Fang Tang and asked him directly what he wanted to do.
Fang Tang lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Zhou He's face gradually darkened. He had just pleaded for a few people in front of Zhuang Mingxu half an hour ago. Now they were openly blocking his way here, which was tantamount to stepping on his face. Knowing that this child grew up in a different environment from others, he tried his best not to be emotional and said, "Tang Tang, tell me the story!"
"Brother Zhou, when can my sister get treatment?" Fang Tang looked up at him, "There are people with special abilities everywhere, I'm worried that someone will dislike me and secretly attack her."
Fangtang asked a question that had nothing to do with the topic.
Zhou He was stunned for a moment and looked at Wu Yue. He didn't know these things as well as the people in the only team.
"If you want to take it out, you can do it now," Wu Yue said coldly without waiting for the excitement in his eyes, "but your healing ability is not enough to repair the trauma caused by removal. It may cause more dangerous situations, such as internal bleeding or partial loss of internal organs, etc."
"Do you want to get it now?" Wu Yue had an attitude that said, "If you nod, I will ask someone to handle it for you immediately."
"Don't!" Fang Tang was worried that he only had one chance, so he hurried to stop it, but he was at a loss after saying it.
They now have no bargaining chips in their hands and are in a completely weak position. They cannot control anything and can only rely on others. This makes them worry about gains and losses, fearing that they will regret it.
Zhou He saw his hesitation and asked Wu Yue to gather the team first. He stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulder and led him aside. "What did someone instigate you to do?"
Fangtang said nothing, and agreed, "Brother Zhou, you will help me treat my sister, right?"
"Yes! We will definitely do it when conditions permit," Zhou He promised.
Fang Tang lowered his head, revealing a bit of the fragility and confusion of an underage person. "They said you were planning to leave secretly and thought we were a burden and didn't want to care about us anymore. After all..."
"We won't live long either."
The last sentence spoken by the child instantly hit Zhou He's heart. He endured the bitterness and reached out to ruffle the child's hair, "Why should children think so much? This is something adults should worry about."
"I have already told the base commander, and he will have someone study your physical condition. If you have the opportunity to come to the Yuebanwan base army in the future, you will be assigned to my command at that time."
"Really!" Fang Tang was rarely emotional.
Zhou He slapped him in the face and said, "Constrain yourself. I'm just applying. The higher-ups will consider it. Don't make things worse at this time."
"I know, thank you Brother Zhou," Fang Tang said, looking awkward as if he didn't know how to express his gratitude. "Let me help you kill the zombies. I have powerful superpowers."
"No, try to use your superpowers as little as possible and lead the team to defend this place. I have seriously injured comrades here."
"I will definitely protect them." Fang Tang acted as if he had received some important mission, which made Zhou He laugh. He pulled him close and whispered, "Captain Zhuang is also here, don't let anything get into trouble."
After listening to this, Fangtang nodded solemnly. Without waiting for others to say anything, he directly ordered the team to return. The herd mentality of children made some people follow him away even though they didn't understand the situation.
Wu Yue looked at the family members hiding in the corner not far away, shook his head and sighed, "Children are troublesome too." He was immature and listened to his parents. The key point was that some of these parents were short-sighted and did not realize that they were causing trouble for them.
"If there is a chance, I will teach you slowly."
After a short delay, the two returned to the team, called the roll quickly, and led everyone away quickly.
Lu Weiyi in the room had also packed up and was ready to leave, and he was accompanied by Zhuang Mingxu, who was dressed in tight clothes.
Without alarming anyone and just informing the guards, Lu Weiyi quietly left the Mountain God Base.
On the way out from the back mountain, I met Wu Yue and his group who were hurrying on their way. I heard them enthusiastically discussing the embarrassing incident that happened to them at the Panshui base that morning. In the end, they all summed it up in one sentence: I must upgrade.
Seeing that they were all full of fighting spirit, Lu Weiyi did not let the other party notice him and turned around and took another route.
As soon as they were far away from the base, Lu Weiyi released the Phoenix, and the man and the bird flew high into the sky. Zhuang Mingxu in the space had just woken up Qi Le, who had been unconscious due to the upgraded explosion, and Lu Weiyi had already told him that they had arrived.
"..."Zhuang Mingxu looked at Qi Le, who had a dazed look in front of him, and had no choice but to use the gas extracted from the abyss mushroom to make him fall into a coma again.
"So K..." Zhuang Mingxu just said this when he was hit in the face by the wind. Feeling that he was in mid-air, he unconsciously hugged Lu Weiyi tightly, "Did you scare me on purpose?"
"It's a surprise." Lu Weiyi raised his eyebrows, and his upward tone showed that he did it on purpose.
Zhuang Mingxu looked down and saw the phoenix circling in the air, with its creaking sound echoing throughout the valley.
After making sure that he had found the right place, Zhuang Mingxu took out the energy detector that he had prepared in advance from the space, constantly updating the parameters to determine the level of the mutated animals on the ground.
"The level of the mutated animals here is generally much higher."
"The reason for spring is that everything comes back to life, right?"
"It's possible. I..." Zhuang Mingxu paused, turned his head to look at the ground, and uncertainly put the energy detector into Lu Weiyi's hand, and then took out an infrared imager.
"What's wrong?"
"I found it - the mutant snake that attacked our temporary base."
