Chapter 733: Revenge
"No wonder he insisted on following out to watch the mutant snakes hunting zombies. He probably wanted to wait until the distance was farther so he could take action."
"We lost several people even though we were so far away, and so many were injured. What difference does it make?"
Everyone was talking in a low voice, and finally Zhou He said, "He was the one who pushed me away, otherwise the snake venom would have attacked me."
This made the room quiet for a moment. No one could say that this act of revenge was wrong, but it brought more serious consequences.
"Since you can't accept it, why don't you say it right away?" Lu Weiyi, who rarely interfered with management, spoke for the first time.
He knew that he could not empathize with their pain, otherwise he would not have adhered to the so-called overall situation and kept those people in the Panshui base, let alone let the mutant snakes serve them.
These are enemies who have been stained with the blood of their base’s people. The most correct way is to kill them directly and avenge their comrades.
The reason why he can talk about the overall situation in a condescending manner is simply because he himself is not in pain.
If they had hurt someone close to him, Lu Weiyi would never care about the overall interests and would instead take revenge first, so he didn't blame Liu Run at all for killing the mutant snake.
But he shouldn't have kept silent in public and made a move behind the scenes, which made Lu Weiyi feel like he was being stabbed.
No one spoke in the silent hall. Everyone became nervous when they saw Lu Weiyi's sharp eyes sweeping across everyone.
Lu Weiyi is a very casual and easy-going person, he owns a lot of things but cares about very few things, which determines that he basically does not participate in the usual behaviors of these people. Before he fell asleep, it was Zhuang Mingxu who managed them, and now that he wakes up, it is still Zhuang Mingxu who manages them. Rather than saying that he is the base commander, he is more like a thug. No wonder some people in the base are jealous of Zhuang Mingxu and say sourly that he has a good dog.
This was the first time he had turned hostile so sternly, and for a moment several familiar people dared not say a word, but he did not say a word of scolding, but just said lightly, "I feel you have let me down."
"Mo Tiantian, come with me." Lu Weiyi ignored the people in the hall, called Mo Tiantian and walked towards the door. The people in the hall immediately made way for him.
Zhou He wanted to speak out to stop them, but Wu Yue grabbed him and motioned him to go see Zhuang Mingxu.
At this moment, Zhuang Mingxu's expression could no longer be described as gloomy. He did not follow Lu Weiyi out, but his eyes did not leave him.
Zhuang Mingxu waited for a while until the people disappeared from his sight before retracting his gaze. He looked directly at Zhou He, who was at the front of the crowd, and asked him, "What do you think should be done?"
Zhou He was confused by the question. The person was already dead, and there was no point in holding him responsible. What else could he do...
But this cannot be said directly.
"Compensate the injured or deceased comrades, announce the murderer to the entire base, cancel all posthumous benefits, and the other family members will never be enrolled in the base army," Zhou He said tentatively, and found that Zhuang Mingxu's expression did not improve. He scratched his head and looked at Wu Yue for help.
Zhuang Mingxu did not comment on whether his answer was right or wrong, but said bluntly, "Zhou He, this is not the first time that there have been problems with your subordinates. You make me doubt whether you can manage the team well."
These words were really heavy. Qu Zhu, Guan Wei and the others who had been following Zhou He had their faces changed instantly. The original foundation of Yuebanwan was the players who came from Qingyuan at the beginning. Each small team expanded into a large team. Each of them was still a member of Zhou He's team, but they all managed different teams.
"I'm sorry, base commander, it's my fault for not managing the team members well. I'm willing to take the responsibility. It has nothing to do with Captain Zhou." Qu Zhu stepped forward to take responsibility. Liu Run was a member of his team.
"I am the captain, it is my responsibility," Zhou He said immediately.
"I……"
"I don't want to know whose fault it is," Zhuang Mingxu interrupted the argument between the two. "This is the last time. If this situation happens again in Team 4, all the personnel belonging to Team 4 will be transferred to other teams, and Team 4 of the Base Army will become history."
The entire living room was in an uproar, but it didn't affect Zhuang Mingxu at all. "The base's original plan was to gather all the S-level psychics in the Panshui base into a suicide squad to carry out various dangerous missions for the Yuebanwan base."
He looked at Zhou He, "You said you wanted to deal with the person who attacked you yourself. Captain Lu handed the person over to you without saying a word. Did he make any requests to you?"
"Now all hopes of returning home rest on him alone. We finally found a thug, but now you have failed?" Zhuang Mingxu sneered and said sarcastically, "You guys are really great."
The table was slammed hard, and it broke in the middle, causing the people standing there to take a step back unconsciously. Zhuang Mingxu said sternly, "Backstabbing the base commander, lacking any team spirit or sense of the overall situation. This is what the base troops in Yueban Bay did."
"Everyone in the only team built this base from scratch, bit by bit, and formed a team like this?"
Zhuang Mingxu didn't say anything else, but this was tantamount to a slap in the face to everyone present.
Wu Yue saw that Zhuang Mingxu did not go out, but went upstairs directly and looked back outside the yard.
A huge mutant peacock occupied a corner of the yard. Lu Weiyi stood beside it and pointed at its wings. Mo Tiantian beside him responded from time to time but looked confused.
"Old Sun, go check on that peacock. Its wings seem to be injured." Wu Yue patted Sun Cheng on the shoulder and found something for him to do.
"Everyone, take a rest for an hour, and then prepare to go out to hunt zombies. Upgrading is still the top priority at the moment. You will probably have to rely on yourself in the future." Wu Yue arranged the others, leaving only Zhou He and his team members.
The mutant peacock's wing was fractured. After a minor operation in Sun Cheng, Mo Tiantian took action again and it soon returned to normal.
After watching the mutant peacock excitedly return to the air, Lu Weiyi returned to the room.
Zhou He was still waiting there. When he saw someone coming in, he apologized and admitted that he had relaxed his management of the team.
"I don't understand management, but..." Lu Weiyi didn't comment on his management, but asked, "Zhou He, when you were on a mission before, did you also murder criminals because of your personal emotions?"
"..."Zhou He.
He had nothing to say, but Lu Weiyi asked a second question right afterward, "Have you ever dared to disobey your managers openly before?"
"...Sorry." Zhou He knew that this was a belated reckoning. He was settling the score for the team's dissatisfaction with Zhuang Mingxu.
At this time, there were only two of them in the living room, but countless people were hiding in the corners and eavesdropping. Lu Weiyi's tone was very calm from beginning to end, "Do you know why the living places and land of all the teams and individuals in Yuebanwan Base have always been rented and never sold?"
Zhou He didn't know how the topic turned so far, but he still thought about it seriously, "For better management?"
This is the reason that is most widely circulated privately.
Lu Weiyi shook his head and said, "It is convenient for those who disobey to leave at any time."
**
After Lu Weiyi returned to the room, he never came out to participate in the zombie hunting again. Only the mutant peacock's cackling let people know that he was still here.
On that day, Zhuang Mingxu settled all the salary arrears for all employees since the winter, and paid each person a high "out-of-town" allowance. However, the preferential rate for their crystal core purification was also restored to normal.
No one commented on this situation. A group of high-level zombies that were previously affected by the energy did expose themselves, but there were still some that were not so affected and were not easy to deal with after being upgraded. Lu Weiyi's cold treatment also prevented Wu Yue from taking action again, which made it difficult for them to deal with the high-level zombies.
Only then did everyone clearly feel the weight of the three words "Lu Weiyi", which meant safety and protection.
Seeing people getting injured every day, and some even turning into zombies after being scratched by high-level zombies, Wu Yue, who was observing in secret, felt very uncomfortable.
"Are you really not going to care?" Wu Yue asked in a low voice to Zhuang Mingxu who was organizing the return route.
“Who cares? Every base gets here this way. Now most of the powerful zombies in the base have been almost wiped out. The return journey will be even more difficult. The days of life and death are still to come,” Zhuang Mingxu said, solemnly drawing two deep lines on the two routes. “These are the safest routes by land and air. Come and take a look.”
Wu Yue didn't know what to say to persuade him, especially since Lu Weiyi was obviously going to turn against him this time, so he stepped forward and analyzed the situation with Zhuang Mingxu.
The next day, Zhao Gang and his group will most likely return to the Mountain God Base, and Zhuang Mingxu and Lu Weiyi will return with those who have successfully upgraded.
As expected, when they arrived at the base, Zhao Gang had already returned with his team, but this time there were fewer people. Lu Weiyi accepted the crystal cores they sent over and did not ask about their results, but everyone looked at Lu Weiyi with a hint of fear, as if they had seen something terrible, which made them so obedient in front of Lu Weiyi that they did not seem like the people who once dominated the entire base.
In the evening, several core members of the base held a meeting together. In view of the large number of people in Zhao Gang's team, he might not be able to convey the message successfully alone, so Wang Bing, Hua Rui and four others came together.
"In the next month, your task is to clear out five million zombies from this area," Zhuang Mingxu drew an area on the map and showed it to them. "It is up to you to decide how many each person clears and how many crystal cores to hand in, but--".
"Don't do things you shouldn't do. You know the consequences." Zhuang Mingxu saw the way they looked at Lu Weiyi and knew that someone must have had thoughts that they shouldn't have and was being dealt with.
"Can any of us come back?" Zhao Gang asked. He was worried about Zhao Lei.
