Chapter 791: Separation and Waiting
While Zhuang Mingxu was introducing the new base to each team, the three captains who were forced to stay were also asking about the situation of the new base.
Lu Weiyi naturally didn't have the time to give them an answer, so Zhao Gang and his companions, who rarely came into contact with the psychics in the base, became their targets.
If everyone was not used to following Lu Weiyi at the beginning, they have become more accustomed to life under the normal social order now, especially Zhao Gang, the person in charge. The stiffness on his face has not improved, but no one dares to look down on him.
This made other people with obvious superpowers in the same group gradually stop paying attention to their appearance, and even began to enjoy the days without having to worry about their safety at all times.
The atmosphere of the Suicide Squad began to relax, and they usually looked like normal people.
At this time, Wang Xi had a stiff face and was sitting in the corner eating melon seeds. Fei Mo and Yang Zhiguang were holding daggers in their hands and whispering something. Hua Rui listened gently to the chattering of the outgoing Yu Mengchu. Wang Bing and Zhao Gang became the main subjects of questioning.
"The area is not very large, the mutant animals are of a very high level and very large in size, so there is no need to worry about food over there," Zhao Gang concluded succinctly.
"You guys..." Wang Bing glanced at the place where Lu Weiyi was resting alone, and lowered his voice, "The base commander also captured a mutant peacock about four meters long and placed it in the base. I heard that it is acting as a bodyguard."
"Is it true? Can I ride it? Is it beautiful?" Xu Sa heard the noise and immediately responded.
"It's beautiful and rideable, but..." Zhao Gang's stiff face showed his instigation, "SSS level, you can go and try it."
Xu Sa immediately waved his hands and said, "We have no grudges against each other, brother, please don't harm me."
"You don't know?" Ye Jia was surprised.
"I've never been there, so how can I know the situation there?" Xu Sa tore off half of the half-eaten biscuit in Ye Jia's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, not forgetting to ask him where it came from.
"Go away, I brought it myself." Ye Jia dodged him.
"With your awareness, you still want to know the situation over there, tsk tsk tsk..." Xu Sa sat aside leisurely.
"Don't you know?"
"We are all in the same family, so we should know a lot by just listening."
Ye Jia gritted his teeth, but still took out a piece from the space and gave it to him, "I left in a hurry, so I only packed this little."
Xu Sa took it without hesitation under Ye Jia's distressed gaze and ate two bites. At the other party's urging, he slowly said, "The radiation level over there is low and it will not affect our normal life."
Du Ping and Chen Xing both looked over and saw that Xu Sa was concentrating on eating and had no intention of continuing talking.
"What else?" Ye Jia couldn't help but ask.
"That's all." Xu Sa stuffed the last bite into his mouth, spread his hands and said vaguely, "That's all I know."
After saying that, he mumbled good night, stood up and prepared to go back to his room to continue sleeping.
Ye Jia flipped him over the stool and grabbed him by the collar, "Fuck, give me back my cake."
"Didn't I tell you?"
"You can call this telling? Does the base commander know that you are cheating on food and drinks?"
"How can this be called a lie? Isn't it news that you don't know?"
…
The two were chattering over a pancake, and Liu Rui was standing at the door watching and laughing. Then he saw Yang Zhiguang and Fei Mo, who had been talking in a low voice, walking towards Liu Rui very solemnly.
He asked very politely, "Can I ask you something?"
"Me? Me?" Liu Rui pointed at himself in surprise.
"Yes." Yang Zhiguang wanted to smile in a friendly manner, but showing his white teeth seemed like a provocation, so he shut up in embarrassment.
Being used to being given orders in a arrogant manner, both of them were a little uncomfortable with such polite inquiries.
Seeing this, Xu Sa and Ye Jia stopped and looked over silently.
"You, you say."
"I want to ask you, when fighting with the mutant shark, how did you pierce its skin?" Fei Mo asked bluntly.
As the strongest metal-related mutant in the Panshui base, he felt that there was nothing that the metal he condensed could not pierce. However, this attack made him realize the gap.
When the others heard this, they immediately looked over with interest, but Liu Rui looked confused and said, “It’s, it’s, normal...attack.”
He waved his hands twice as he spoke. Seeing that both of them looked puzzled, Liu Rui didn't know how to explain, so he turned to Xu Sa for help.
"No difference from usual?" Xu Sa asked.
Liu Rui nodded, and Xu Sa did not hide anything and told the other party their close-range attack method.
"How is this possible? This is the most common method of attack." Yang Zhiguang said whatever he thought.
It was as if he was saying that they were keeping something to themselves, and the smile on Xu Sa's face faded a little.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little bad, Lu Weiyi walked out of the room and saw a group of people gathered here late at night. He glanced at them, walked towards Ye Jia and gave him a map, "Choose where your respective bases are located. Construction must begin now. The rent is marked on it."
Several people still couldn't make a decision. In order not to delay the construction, Zhuang Mingxu had to ask Lu Weiyi to hurry up and ask several team leaders.
Ye Jia, Du Ping and Chen Xing immediately gathered together. Lu Weiyi turned around and prepared to go back to his room, reminding them, "There are still many things to do tomorrow, so go to bed early."
"Wait a minute." Yang Zhiguang stopped Lu Weiyi and asked the same question again.
Lu Weiyi had no idea what happened during their battle with the mutant shark. He only found out what happened after asking.
"He thinks we are keeping things to ourselves." Seeing that the other party asked Lu Weiyi without any regard, Xu Sa smiled sarcastically and pointed out the other party's thoughts directly.
Fei Mo felt a little embarrassed, but Yang Zhiguang didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"He's right. This involves the different uses of superpowers and energy." After Lu Weiyi affirmed Liu Rui's statement, he glanced at the time. It was already two o'clock in the morning. "Let's do it tomorrow. I'll tell you in detail tomorrow. In the future, we will have a clue about how to deal with mutant animals above SSS level."
These words successfully excited everyone, but Lu Weiyi didn't care about the emotions that were aroused at all. After urging the three to make a decision quickly, he leisurely returned to his room.
Several people were still eager to continue and no one dared to stop them. However, Wang Xi, who had been sitting and eating melon seeds with a very low sense of presence, suddenly stood up, strode towards Lu Weiyi, and opened his mouth to call for help.
It was immediately blocked by Zhao Gang and Wang Bing with quick hands and eyes, and even the pistil threw out its stems to completely block the man's mouth.
"Isn't it good to leave a way out for others?" Wang Bing lowered his voice, "We would like to be completely ignored by him. Can you please not get close to him?"
“Oooooh…” Wang Xi struggled incoherently, but was suppressed by several people.
After a long time, he finally waved his hands to indicate that he understood, and then he was released.
The people from Yueban Bay just watched them making noises and even thought it was quite funny.
"Our base commander is very nice. Do you think you need to be so?" Yu Mengchu was overjoyed.
Hua Rui looked at her with a complicated expression and whispered, "You wouldn't think so if you had seen him massacre the city."
Ye Jia immediately understood what was said, and moved closer and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Come on, beautiful sister, tell me in detail."
He was even considerate enough to take a handful of dried plums and pass them over. Du Ping was too old to go over, so he just sat closer. Chen Xing, with a blank face, sat in the innermost seat and contributed a handful of peanuts.
Xu Sa, Liu Rui and others immediately didn't mind it anymore, and came over with great interest, showing their excitement about listening to gossip to the fullest.
The little group was whispering all night, which resulted in Lu Weiyi getting up the next day while the others outside were still snoring.
Wen Jing delivered breakfast, and Ning Yuan took it over. He stood in the empty hall, looking at the garbage on the floor after the party, and suddenly felt like he was a little out of place.
"What did they do at night?" The lighting in the underground residence was limited, and they were tired after a long day, so they went to bed around six o'clock. At least they would not get up late.
Lu Weiyi shook his head. In fact, he heard clearly what happened outside. However, after knowing the situation on Zhuang Mingxu's side, he wanted to remind the three captains. What Hua Rui said happened to be a good deterrent, so he did not stop it.
He looked around and saw a neatly laid out map on the coffee table, with the location of each team clearly marked on it.
Zhuang Mingxu also suggested to him that if they all liked a place at the same time, he could just let them draw lots or something like that. That would solve the problem and there was no need to make it so complicated.
After Lu Weiyi passed the map to Zhuang Mingxu, he ate his hot breakfast comfortably.
"Wen Jing said he wanted to talk to you about our future cooperation later."
Ning Yuan's words broke Lu Weiyi's relaxed mood, and he forgot to discuss it with Zhuang Mingxu.
"Got it." Lu Weiyi hurriedly ate breakfast and went back to the room to ask Zhuang Mingxu how to deal with the situation.
[Let's negotiate the terms with them first and have them send them to Yueban Bay for the transaction. I have linked all the crystal core purification machines and will purify a batch out as soon as possible].
[I will see the effect of the energy-releasing potion today and make a decision later. You should see if you can build the research institute in the base first.] Along with Zhuang Mingxu's letter came a list that gave a detailed description of the basements hidden under several long-submerged islands in the base.
What happens next? 】Lu Weiyi asked.
[We’ll talk about the future later and just say we will contact them.] Zhuang Mingxu said this, but in fact he felt that if the situation outside continued to develop, it was unclear whether there would be a future.
If the situation stabilizes, the team in the base will find a way to contact each base, otherwise Lu Weiyi will have to go there again and again. Thinking of the giant squid, Zhuang Mingxu didn't want him to take the risk and even asked him when he would come back.
【I'm going to wait for my uncle】.
Before, Lu Weiyi thought that if there were people left in Yueban Bay, Lu Xiao would at least know where they went when he came back. Now the base is gone, and if he can't see them, it would be too slim to meet again in the future.
Lu Weiyi had no idea what to do, not even where to find Lu Xiao. The only option was to wait here.
With every passing day, he could truly experience the cruelty of the end of the world. If he was not careful, the separation might really be forever.
