Chapter 792 Storm Wall
After breakfast, Wen Jing and Su Yan finally had time to ask Lu Weiyi about their new base.
"It's in Laoshan, not far from the original water base." Lu Weiyi did not hide it.
This place was completely out of their consideration, so Wen Jing and Su Yan didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, Wen Jing asked first, "Have all the people in your base... moved away?"
Lu Weiyi nodded and said, "We'll stay and clean up the mess."
The distance is thousands of kilometers, and the contact was cut off in the early spring. Yuebanwan has been holding on because they were worried that Lu Weiyi and his team wouldn't be able to find the base when they returned, but they had no ability to send anyone to look for them. You can imagine how difficult the journey was.
But tens of thousands of ordinary people in their base were transferred away quietly.
Wen Jing now believed that SSS-level psychics might really have unknown abilities.
A mess of thoughts flashed through his mind, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. Instead, Su Yan asked about the situation in Laoshan.
"I don't know the details. I had been sleeping and just woke up for more than a month." Lu Weiyi thought for a moment and told them, "But there was none of the heavy rain and flooding that we suffered here, and according to tests, the radiation intensity is still within the acceptable range for humans."
"Are you sure?" Su Yan was surprised.
"The migration plan is made after confirmation."
"But isn't that place caught in the storm?" Su Yan frowned.
"Who told you that?" Lu Weiyi had heard many people say this, but after he woke up, he led his team to several nearby bases and never encountered the so-called storm.
"We experienced it ourselves," Su Yan smiled bitterly and talked about the situation at their base.
Hopefully the base returned safely shortly after the zombie siege in Kyoto was resolved. The arrival of winter did not attract anyone's attention at first, as they had become accustomed to the sudden drop in temperature.
However, when the snow reached its peak, the storm followed.
"The base didn't think it was a big deal at first, as it was normal to have wind in winter, until the wind got so strong that it blew the roof off, and everyone who went out was blown away." That must have been a very painful memory, Su Yan said as he lowered his head and unconsciously covered his face with his hands.
"At that time, we had no choice but to move our residence underground, but after that we never came out again."
"When spring was expected to arrive, the storm outside showed no signs of weakening. We asked a psychic to investigate and found out..."
"All the ground buildings have disappeared, and the base we built with great effort... not even a tile is left."
The farming season had passed, but they were still unable to return to the surface. Living underground for a whole winter meant that the base had no food to replenish, and countless people starved to death.
After discussion, several large teams at the base decided to migrate towards Kyoto.
"The earth-type superpowers opened the way, and we kept moving forward underground." During this period, countless people were left behind and abandoned, or even died due to various accidents. Su Yan admitted that he had experienced a lot in the apocalypse, but still didn't dare to think about those days.
In order to save the energy of the earth-type mutants, they didn't even dare to sleep.
Lu Weiyi noticed that he was on the verge of a breakdown and handed him a cup of hot water. He saw that he held it tightly in his hands, as if absorbing that bit of warmth.
After thinking about it, Lu Weiyi took out a box of cigarettes from the space and handed it over. He remembered that whenever Zhuang Mingxu was in a state of emotional upheaval, he would feel much better after having a cigarette.
"Thank you." Su Yan was not polite, and even Wen Jing took one.
Surrounded by smoke, Su Yan remained calm and even responded with, "You can't imagine how long it took us to migrate out of the storm area."
"One month".
"A month without sleep, day or night."
At the beginning of that month, some of them were still able to drive cars, but gradually the cars broke down inexplicably and the electronic products broke down, so they could only make handmade carts and rely on manpower to transfer supplies.
"Hope Base and Peace Base have merged, and now there are only 120,000 people alive in the two bases."
This number made Lu Weiyi's eyes widen instantly. He remembered that the former Hope Base alone was more than twice as large as Yueban Bay.
Du Ping and the other two who were eavesdropping openly in the corner were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths. The experience itself was not so straightforward, but the numbers were too shocking.
They feel that life in their own base is already difficult, but when they look at others, they are actually having the best time.
"One hundred and twenty thousand people," Su Yan muttered, took a deep puff of the cigarette, and started coughing violently, his eyes reddening.
No one said anything to comfort him. He didn't need such indifferent language.
After a while, Su Yan calmed down and said, "Anjiang base was also migrated because of the storm. It is said that there are continuous thunderstorms there. After it stabilized, we went back and saw that a storm belt had formed there, connecting the northwest to the southeast, crossing half of the country."
"Our current base is south of the Anjiang base. If we move northwest for three or four days, we can still see continuous storms."
"When was the last time you saw him?" Lu Weiyi still felt puzzled. He would definitely pass by these places when returning to Yueban Bay from Laoshan, but Lu Weiyi had never encountered anything.
"A month and a half ago, I led a team to..." Yueban Bay.
Su Yan coughed lightly and didn't finish his words.
"I should have set off to return to Yueban Bay at about the same time, and I didn't see the storm you mentioned."
After Lu Weiyi finished speaking, Ning Yuan coughed lightly, "Aren't you lost? Do you remember where you went?"
"..."Lu Weiyi.
He really doesn't know.
But Su Yan and Wen Jing were both watching, so Lu Weiyi could only think carefully about the exact place, and finally said awkwardly, "Volcano."
Su Yan turned his head to look at Wen Jing, who looked strange, "Did you see the erupting volcano?"
"Post-eruptive".
"Then it's north of the Mengbei base. How did you get there?"
Lao Mountain is located in the southwest, and the volcano is in the northeast. These are two directions that he had no intention of visiting, but he actually "passed by" them. Wen Jing didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Anyway, I really didn't see Bao Feng," Lu Weiyi brought the subject back forcefully, "I'll ask them to pay more attention, and contact you as much as possible if there is any news."
The three of them chatted for a while about the situation near Laoshan, and Wen Jing then turned the topic to the purification of crystal cores and energy-releasing potions.
This is not Lu Weiyi's forte. He only said that he would stay for a while and could complete the first transaction during this period if necessary. As for the specific exchange ratio, he left it to Ning Yuan to continue discussing.
After finishing everything, Lu Weiyi left the underground residence.
On the sea not far away, the mutant squid was still waving its tentacles and searching for their traces around.
Half of the island that was being toyed with between its tentacles had completely lost its original shape under its great strength, and the buildings on it were destroyed beyond the reach of even a trace.
The collapsed area does not look like an island, but rather like a towering mound of earth.
Thinking that this was a place they had built bit by bit, Lu Weiyi became more and more annoyed. If this thing had not come inexplicably, this would have been their retreat.
With the mutant squids around, it is almost impossible to reach the other islands close to the seabed. Instead of wasting time here, Lu Weiyi decided to hurry to the Kyoto base.
Gu Qingji, who was the last to be injured, woke up once in the morning and now had a fever, so it was almost impossible for him to travel with her. Yu Mengchu didn't seem to have any external injuries, and the treatment department also said that she might have internal bleeding after the impact, so it would be best to have a check-up.
After discussion, Lu Weiyi decided to send them back to the base for treatment, while Xu Sa, Liu Rui and Ning Yuan stayed here to see if they could wait for Lu Xiao or Wu Yue. He then took Zhao Gang and his party to Kyoto.
After hearing this, Wen Jing and Su Yan were eager to try it out, as if they wanted to experience it for themselves.
"It's okay to send you there, but you need to rely on yourself to come back," Lu Weiyi coaxed.
"Is there any limit to this?" Wen Jing was very curious.
"Yes, it's mainly because I just got the upgrade not long ago and am not proficient in SSS-level abilities. If it weren't for the rush this time, it might have been implemented slowly."
After hearing what he said, both of them put their thoughts to rest. "If you have anything that needs to be exchanged, please have someone send it over as soon as possible. I will be here again in a short while."
Needless to say, both of them thought of Lu Xiao. Although they didn't say anything, Lu Weiyi sensitively noticed that when they looked at each other, there seemed to be some tacit message flowing.
Since this matter involved Lu Xiao, Lu Weiyi's expression immediately changed, "Are you guys - hiding something?"
As his voice deepened, the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly changed. In particular, the pressure from the high-level psychic that he had hidden in the past now spread from his body. The invisible pressure was like a mountain slowly pressing down. Su Yan and Wen Jing were still able to maintain their bodies, but it became difficult for the few people standing guard at the door to stand straight.
Seeing that Lu Weiyi was really angry, Li Qing immediately stepped forward and bumped into Su Yan, "Old Su, you know that our base commander is looking for Major General Lu, this matter cannot be concealed."
As he spoke, he signaled with his eyes that he should not seek death.
Su Yan waved his hand at Lu Weiyi and said, "I really have no news about Major General Lu."
"I'm afraid there won't be any news about Major General Lu in other bases."
"What do you mean?" Lu Weiyi's heart sank.
Su Yan continued, "Don't think too much, Major General Lu may not show up."
"Now that the communications are cut off, you say you are releasing the news, but in fact, the only ones who can receive it are a few teams in charge of each base. They tacitly...issued a bounty to capture the person."
Lu Weiyi immediately understood the difference, and Ning Yuan sneered, "What a big appetite you have."
"This is a way to maximize benefits," Su Yan looked at Lu Weiyi frankly, "You should have been to various bases and seen their living conditions. It's difficult to survive, so who cares about the consequences?"
He was hinting at the supplies that disappeared from each base. Lu Weiyi didn't say anything, but Ning Yuan was puzzled, "He got lost tens of thousands of miles away, how could he have the time to go to each base."
Su Yan didn't want a result, so he laughed and changed the subject, "Major General Lu should have seen the bounty order at the Changhong base, so he will definitely not rashly contact anyone from any base again."
With the opponent's skills, it would be easy for him to avoid being tracked, but there are more dangerous people outside than just humans.
But even after knowing this news, Lu Weiyi was powerless to do anything, which made him even more anxious.
Just when everyone was silent, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the person who had been following Wen Jing strode in and shouted at him, "Oh no, Captain, someone went to kill the mutant squid."
