Chapter 819: Befriending Zombies
Qin Jin was obviously in a good mood after hearing this and shook his head, "I can't absorb the crystal cores of mutant animals."
"What's the meaning?".
Qin Jin was able to give up his high-level crystal core without hesitation, and he did not hide his thoughts. He just said with a little emotion and sadness, "I am a zombie. The energy body in a zombie's body is different from that of a mutant."
In order for a psychic to upgrade, he needs to clear out as much zombie energy as possible from his body. Does that mean that for a zombie to upgrade, he needs to clear out as much psychic energy from his body as possible?
"Yes, it's just what you think. So the reason I don't attack the people with special abilities is not because I still have a conscience, but because it's useless." Qin Jin sneered, raised his head slightly and looked into the distance with a look of condescension that looked down on everyone.
Xu Sa was horrified when he saw this. He doubted whether such a person would give any leeway just because of their past friendship.
After all, the species are different now and the perspectives are also different.
Even if they are not completely opposite, they are still rivals.
"Everyone only looks at the results, who cares about the reasons? Come to think of it, I haven't asked you what your plans are for the future?" Zhuang Mingxu said in a flat tone, as if he didn't hear his sarcasm.
When Xu Sa heard that the two were discussing private matters, he immediately left quietly.
"Let Cheng Qi take people to help. Mutated animals are not willing to provoke high-level zombies. Rely on Lu Weiyi to be cautious, and the energy will be dissipated after they are killed."
Qin Jin didn't call the roll, and Xu Sa understood that he was talking to her, so she immediately thanked him with a smile and trotted away.
"Is there such a flexible child around Lu Weiyi?" Qin Jin talked about the incident when he snatched Qin Nian from Xu Sa. "He almost blocked that sea area with lightning, but later he gave up because he thought Qin Nian was a human. I thought the old things would be brought up again during this meeting."
"You can't underestimate our Xiao Xu. He is Xiao Yi's best brother. The two grew up together and their experiences... haven't been easy. They can be considered to be supporting each other," Zhuang Mingxu said with pride, as if he was bragging about himself, "He usually has a bad relationship with Xiao Yi, but he will definitely protect him at critical moments."
"I heard that with Lu Weiyi's personality, it's good enough that he can look people in the eye. How could he possibly call me brother?"
"That's because your information is delayed." After Zhuang Mingxu finished speaking, he saw Lu Weiyi, who had already learned that Qin Jin asked the zombies to help, immediately put the squid tentacle that had absorbed half of the energy into the space, and trotted over with a happy look on his face, "Brother Qin Jin, thank you for your help."
Qin Jin glanced at Zhuang Mingxu in surprise, causing the other party to laugh, and then heard Lu Weiyi continue, "If you need anything in the future, I will say a few good words for you in front of Nian Nian. After all, he has called me dad."
“……”Zhuang Mingxu was speechless.
"..." Qin Jin sneered and gritted his teeth, "He called you dad?"
The cold air all over his body made Zhuang Mingxu, who was wearing a heavy suit, feel cool without making ice. But Lu Weiyi seemed not to notice it and said cheerfully, "Yes, Nian Nian has psychic abilities. She is a natural psychic who needs to absorb psychic power since she was a fetus. Yin Jin doesn't have any abilities, so I have to do it."
Lu Weiyi clicked his tongue twice and said, "Maybe he ate it. I already had SS-level superpowers at that time, so the supply was just enough for him."
"Later, when he was born, he couldn't use his mental power and was always out of control. I took care of him for a long time, personally guiding and educating him on how to use his superpowers," Lu Weiyi said proudly. "After he could speak, he couldn't distinguish interpersonal relationships for a while, so he just called me dad."
Qin Jin's coldness was gradually replaced by warmth, and a faint smile hung on the corners of his mouth. "What happened next? Did he... still call me that?"
"No, Yin Jin said that he has his own father, who loves him very much and got into trouble because of him, so he can only have one father in this life. Sometimes he calls me uncle, and sometimes he calls me master. Anyway, kids don't have clear cognition, so they think whatever they want."
Qin Jin moved his lips, as if he wanted to ask something, but said nothing.
Lu Weiyi continued to talk about the interesting things that happened when Qin Nian was a child, including the hard work Yin Jin put in taking care of him, as well as Qin Nian's life trajectory, and his happy and bustling life with Zhuang Aiyi.
Qin Jin started laughing as he listened, his eyes filled with whites that looked a little frightened in the night, yet with an indescribable tenderness.
"Thank you, they are doing well."
"It's okay, Yin Jin is easy to get along with." Lu Weiyi did not take credit for it. He knew that he was not a person who liked to cause trouble. If Yin Jin had not been aware of the current situation and could share some things, he might have felt sorry for Qin Nian, but he would never be merciful when studying this natural-born psychic.
Now that there is the bond between him and Qin Jin, thinking back to the treatment that Yin Jin and Qin Nian endured, it seems a bit unfair, and he can only say, "It's not easy for him."
Qin Jin nodded, his voice filled with a gentleness that he himself did not even notice, "He has always been a very tough person."
Zhuang Mingxu cannot be exposed to the ground environment for a long time. After the three of them said a few more words, Lu Weiyi was about to send him back to the base.
Qin Jin also advised him not to waste time. The two said goodbye. Lu Weiyi took her towards the disguised passage. Qin Jin stood with his hands behind his back, watching them go away, and walked towards the shore.
Wen Jing and Su Yan, who had already noticed that the mutant squid would not attack in the event of an accident, led their men forward to see if they could get any benefits or get any latest news.
However, all the people attacking at this time were zombies, and with Qin Jin, the zombie king whose skills were unknown, there was no way for them to step forward, so they could only ask Xu Sa about the situation.
"I don't know the specific circumstances, but it seems like they've reached some kind of agreement with the zombies, and the rest belongs to them." Xu Sa directly pushed the blame onto Qin Jin.
Qin Jin heard his words from afar, but did not refute. He even took the initiative to summon his spiritual body to help, showing clearly what he had in his pocket, and completely cut off Wen Jingsu Yan's thoughts.
Xu Sa decisively asked when they would return to the base to exchange for zombie energy release potions, "We originally stayed here to wait for our teammates, but now they are all back. We may not be able to stay for long before we have to return. This time, I miss you..."
He sighed and shook his head, "I don't know when that will be."
"The team has already gone back, and should be back soon. This is the exchange rate..."
The two of them immediately focused on the immediate interests, and Xu Sa argued again but failed to reduce the point by one point.
After seeing the two people off, it was almost dawn. Apart from the sound of the sea hitting the waves, the only sound was the occasional low howl of zombies. Many people had fallen asleep, but Xu Sa was still busy with a few psychics.
Qin Jin heard him talking about the zombie energy releasing potion, and seeing that he was free, he asked about it. When he learned that it was to fight against zombie energy, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think will happen if you inject me with one?"
Xu Sa couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but with such a dangerous guy standing next to him, he couldn't help but think too much, "Brother Qin, don't joke. We developed this to turn people into zombies after being bitten. We are not on the same level as you."
"Hehe." Qin Jin knew that he had misunderstood, and did not explain. He asked whether they were going to abandon the island completely.
On the other side, Lu Weiyi was also talking about this after bringing Zhuang Mingxu into the space.
"The energy of that mutant squid is already dissipating. I feel that the surrounding land is contaminated by the energy. It would be a shame to just give up this place."
Zhuang Mingxu had only been wearing the radiation protection suit for a while, and his whole body was already sweating. After taking it off, he carefully put it away, drank a glass of water to replenish his water, and then said, "Then we can stay here and have someone stay behind. Isn't that what we originally planned?"
Lu Weiyi also had this idea, but... "Golden Eagle came to me before and said that he wanted us to take away those high-tech researchers in Kyoto. The meteorologists there predicted the time when the solar storm will stabilize."
Zhuang Mingxu looked at him in surprise, but Lu Weiyi didn't notice and continued, "Cheng Qi was there at the time, and he didn't explain in detail. But after thinking about it, I realized that if they could do something like preserving the fire, the result might not be optimistic."
"So they also predicted it," Zhuang Mingxu said. Seeing Lu Weiyi looking over, he told him about Zhuang Mobai's discovery. "In that case, there is no reason for us to push the researchers out."
“But can our food hold up?” Even though it has been six years since the apocalypse, there are still quite a few survivors. What they lack is only top-notch scientific researchers. If they were to accommodate a large number of people, it would probably affect the life of their base.
"The base has already been put into production," said Zhuang Mingxu, "and there are also thresholds. As long as there are people involved in specific scientific research projects, the number of family members they can bring with them will also be adjusted accordingly based on their importance."
At this point, Zhuang Mingxu hesitated for a moment. "How will Lieyan's personnel be arranged? Has an answer been given?"
There are quite a few people in Lieyan. If they all move, the diversion of resources from Yuebanwan Base will be the biggest problem.
Lu Weiyi shook his head. "The people following my uncle are not all his subordinates. For example, those under Brigade Commander Zhao have real power. Without my uncle, Cong Qing cannot convince them. As for now..."
Lu Weiyi guessed that Cong Qing probably hadn't informed them of the research results yet, otherwise they would have discussed leaving this time instead of letting Jin Diao and the others, Lu Xiao's confidants.
"Anyway, we will want talents. Tell them that they need to show real qualities before they can be admitted. As for the final review and treatment, we will inform you of the specific results once we have them."
"As for the island, at worst we can send earth-type psychics to rebuild it. Now that there's no one here, we can just keep the territory for the time being. As for the arguments with Kyoto, we'll probably have to wait until my uncle comes back to have a result. In the meantime, let them enjoy the benefits first."
While Zhuang Mingxu was thinking about the earth-type mutants that could be dispatched, he reminded Lu Weiyi not to confront Qin Jin, "He looks no different, but like he said, he is indeed much more emotionally indifferent, so you have to be careful."
"I understand," Lu Weiyi responded, and started discussing the next steps.
Outside the base, Lu Xiao and his two companions, who he said would take some time to return, finally determined the location of the coastline after circumventing half of the base and saw the sea area where Yueban Bay once was.
