Chapter 749: Cause of the War
Lu Weiyi followed behind Li Zhuang, and the two of them walked until they reached a crowded area where people were leaving. Lu Weiyi suddenly changed direction and walked straight towards the person they were confronting.
Accustomed to high-tech warfare, people have always relied on electronic communications to communicate with each other. Now that things are damaged, they cannot communicate in time.
Several artillery shells from Yueban Bay suddenly became powerful and accurately attacked all the artillery positions prepared by the people who came here, while the muzzles facing forward were already pointing at them.
This caused all the crystal core gunners who were working diligently to stop. They looked at each other and waited for the next instruction.
However, the communication method that relied on human links was so slow that it made people anxious. For a while, all the bases fell into a state of helplessness.
"Young Master, long time no see." Li Zhuang saw Lu Weiyi change direction and quickly followed him. At first he was worried that someone would discover him, but after a few steps he felt that the people around them were not paying attention to them at all, so he greeted them with confidence, "Did you come back alone?"
"Wu Yue and I, we got lost and were separated by the flood, then I met Cheng Chuan and he brought me back." Lu Weiyi felt as if he were in a lifetime ago when he thought about what he had experienced in the past few days, especially since it had only been such a short time, and their base had become the target of all bases.
What's even more speechless is that no base is willing to stand with them and help...
Lu Weiyi looked at Li Zhuang with a puzzled look, "It seems that your base relationship is not very good..."
Li Zhuang laughed, "It's not so bad, some people want to help, but Zhao Qiang is crazy this time, he's determined to crush us to death, he's willing to lose money to drag us down with him."
He shrugged his shoulders and took a deep breath, "It's mainly because there have been too many natural disasters near our base in the past few months. God is not kind to us."
Meeting someone who knew everything, Lu Weiyi simply asked what happened.
"How much do you know?" Li Zhuang asked.
"Zombies besieged Kyoto." Lu Weiyi heard Zhuang Mingxu talk about how the people of Yuebanwan led the zombies to besiege Kyoto to resolve the predicament of their base. However, as contact was cut off, there was no news of what happened in the end.
Li Zhuang thought carefully about the situation when Zhuang Mingxu left, sorted out his thoughts, and told him everything that happened at that time.
Knowing that Zhao Qiang attacked them because of the crystal core, Lu Weiyi didn't find it strange, but he still felt a little sad in his heart. They used to be brothers, but who would have thought that they would become enemies now.
At that time, with the cooperation of Li Zhuang and Ning Yuan, Li Dongsheng of Yuebanwan Base was successfully upgraded. An SS-level mutant plant also shocked many bases and made them more polite.
With the information provided by Zhao Qiang's son, they successfully used Jin Yu'an as bait to restrain Pang Xinghuo, allowing the other party to pin down Zhao Qiang, providing them with a chance to leave safely.
Li Dongsheng and the SS-level mutant creeper who went to meet them made the return journey extremely smooth. Unfortunately, by the time they got there, Pang Xinghuo had already pulled Zhao Qiang and disappeared in the tide of bombs.
The remaining minions were captured by them in one fell swoop. Yuebanwan was the most powerful at that time. All the bases that had heard of them kept their tails between their legs, especially those who had taken the opportunity to offend them.
Just when they thought Zhao Qiang was dead and the situation in Kyoto might be reshuffled, Zhao Qiang, who had successfully upgraded, showed up.
Li Zhuang sighed when he said this, "Appearing with him is the person you just saw, Pang Xinghuo."
After roughly explaining the other party's identity to Lu Weiyi, he continued, "Before, because he cooperated with Zhao Qiang, we controlled Jin Yu'an and used his own method to return the favor. We let him delay Zhao Qiang, and then he disappeared. Everyone thought they died together."
"After Jin Yu'an learned the news, he committed suicide," Li Zhuang's tone showed no emotion. "As a result, Pang Xinghuo survived. After knowing that the other party was dead, he quickly joined forces with Zhao Qiang like a mad dog."
Not long after, there was a sharp drop in temperature, followed by a volcanic eruption near the Mengbei Base, which forced the entire Mengbei Base to relocate. The coastal areas were hit by a severe tsunami because of the volcanic eruption.
"Our entire base was flooded at that time. Fortunately, we built a shelter in advance, so we only lost some personal belongings." Li Zhuang suddenly asked, "Did Zhuang Mingxu tell you that Zheng Yi came to test you after you fell unconscious?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head, "Something happened over there too. I woke up a few days ago and just managed to stabilize the situation. Zhuang Mingxu felt that things might not be good here either, so he asked me to come out and explore the situation."
As a result... they got lost.
"Is it a hurricane?" Li Zhuang asked.
"You know?"
"After the contact was cut off, the base had been asking nearby bases about the latest situation in the southwest direction. Later, a large-scale storm occurred there, making the nearby bases uninhabitable, and many bases were relocated."
This is also the reason why we can gather together efficiently now that we can start taking action - all the bases capable of surviving have gathered nearby.
"No wonder we didn't find a base after we came out," Lu Weiyi sighed, "That's not exactly the case over there, there are some dishonest people nearby."
Hearing the unspoken meaning in these words, Li Zhuang also knew that they were not completely safe. He briefly talked about the research institute's affairs and the fact that Zhuang Mingxu dealt with everyone openly but secretly detained people again. "As a result, when the tsunami occurred, we didn't take care of that side, and those high-tech talents took advantage of the opportunity and contacted Kyoto. After that, other bases also knew about it."
The researchers who were sent to their base originally included people from various bases. Their original intention was to work together to research the zombie energy as soon as possible, but it was tantamount to secretly attacking various bases first.
After the incident was exposed, it immediately met with backlash from various bases, and many bases immediately sent letters of inquiry.
"You agree?" Lu Weiyi was surprised.
"Of course not. As soon as the matter was exposed, we investigated and dealt with it strictly. The person is still in our base."
However, it also aroused suspicion among the various bases. This kind of thing does not require evidence, which laid a certain foundation for the subsequent cooperation of the various bases.
"Later, Zhuang Mobai and Shen Xiuyin predicted that the magnetic field was changing and notified us in time. After discussion, we decided to trust them and make preparations in advance," Li Zhuang said calmly. "The news was also passed on to various bases at the time, but because of what happened to the researcher before, not many people believed it. Who knew that a solar magnetic storm would break out soon after, electronic machinery would begin to malfunction, radiation would become stronger, and so on."
"What is the ultimate reason that made them unite?" Lu Weiyi went straight to the point.
"Purify the crystal core" Li Zhuang replied, "Ordinary people are very intolerant to radiation. Our base had made early preparations, so although there are many ordinary people, the death rate is not high. This was interpreted by some people as our base has developed a way to adapt to the energy of zombies, so we can survive safely."
"It was then discovered that the higher the level, the less likely one would be affected by radiation. This made those with special abilities want to upgrade more than ever before. Under this premise, there was a particular market for purified crystal cores."
Li Zhuang spread his hands and said, "Our purified crystal cores are mechanically purified. The electronic products have had problems, which has seriously affected production. Even our own bases don't have enough to use, so where can we get more to provide to the public?"
This caused the various bases to unite and exert pressure, hoping to obtain a method to purify the crystal core.
"At first their actions were rather covert. But after the strong wind from the southwest completely isolated the entire area, everyone assumed that you couldn't come back." Only then did Zhao Qiang and his group become unscrupulous in their actions.
"Are all the bases united?" Lu Weiyi still found it a little unbelievable.
"Now, our base is the only one that still uses the purification crystal core. They know clearly that more people have hope of survival here, so how could they not want to get a piece of the pie? What's more, Zhao Qiang made it clear that the purification method will be sent to each base and will not be exclusive to any one base."
"Then you might as well just give the purification method to them," Lu Weiyi complained. Since it was unavoidable, why should he be the good guy?
"We have discussed this, but Major General Lu sent us a message saying that they don't intend to let us go because..." Li Zhuang looked at Lu Weiyi and asked, "Do you know Qin Jin?"
"They want to use the people in the team to threaten Qin Jin?" Lu Weiyi's mind finally worked faster.
"You already know that?"
"I saw him, he took Qin Nian away."
"Yes," Li Zhuang pinched his brows, feeling that their luck was very bad, "They have confirmed that Qin Jin has human consciousness."
Qin Jin awakened his superpowers at the beginning of the end of the world. He originally wanted to return home to find his parents, but the distance was too far. During the journey, he met Yin Jin, and the two of them traveled together towards their hometown. Unexpectedly, they ended up falling into Zhuang Mobai's team that captured people with superpowers and were sent to Zhuang Mobai's research institute.
When he first knew Qin Jin's identity, Zhuang Mobai had no intention of taking action against them. He had heard of this man who had retired from the army with Zhuang Mingxu to start a business. He was just a psychic and there was no need to affect family relationships.
Just at this time, Yin Jin was found to be pregnant, and even directly a person with natural superpowers. This attracted Zhuang Mobai's attention and instantly overwhelmed his family in his heart.
He directly took away Yin Jin's crystal core, wanting to see if the child's supernatural powers would still exist without the support of his father's mental strength.
Qin Jin was also infected with zombie energy during the experiment. After being transformed into a zombie, Zhuang Mobai, thinking about their friendship, was unwilling to take action and sent the zombie Qin Jin away.
“Perhaps the obsession before his death has been controlling him. He has been thinking about going to Kyoto for revenge. This is also the reason why the zombie army has been marching towards Kyoto.” After Li Zhuang finished speaking, he felt that life is simply a drama.
"How do you know so much detail? Did Zhuang Mobai tell you?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"Yin Jin said it himself," Li Zhuang explained when he saw Lu Weiyi raised his eyebrows, "After Qin Jin's identity was exposed, someone put pressure on him to hand over his parents. Yin Jin didn't dare to reveal their relationship with Qin Jin, but..."
"I don't know when Qin Jin hid in our base and stole the child." Li Zhuang was speechless when he said this.
"Yin Jin collapsed at that time. He found Ning Yuan and told him the identity of the child. Even if the other party was the father, he was already a zombie after all. If something happened to the child, it was at the hands of his biological father..."
Then Yin Jin might not be able to survive.
"We just found out what happened after the psychic investigated and said the child was still alive. Ning Yuan then found Cheng Chuan and hoped that he could hide as a zombie and go in to steal the child out."
"So, they want to use Ning Yuan and his men to control Qin Jin... a zombie?" Lu Weiyi felt that the person who came up with this idea might have a weird brain circuit. He had lived two lifetimes and had only heard of using zombies to control living people, but had never heard of using living people to threaten zombies.
It's a joke.
"They just want to find an excuse to get rid of Yuebanwan's management," Li Zhuang saw through it.
While the two were talking, they had already walked near the Kyoto base team. Lu Weiyi looked around and suddenly realized that he seemed not to see Zheng Yi's team.
"Where are the Zheng family's troops?" Lu Weiyi turned his head to look at Li Zhuang, "Zhao Qiang is so blatant, but Zheng Yi is indifferent?"
"…Zheng Yi is missing."
