Chapter 822: Division and Union
When Wu Yue and Zheng Yi came out, they found that Qin Jin had disappeared. The zombies, who had originally lived in harmony, suddenly became tense. Although they did not fight, the clear distinction between them and their guard against each other were obvious.
Wen Jing and Su Yan had already seen the excitement and were talking to Lu Weiyi. Lu Weiyi stood alone among the people, not at all moved by their chattering.
"What's going on?" Wu Yue didn't find Qin Jin and Ning Yuan, so he asked Gu Qingyue.
Zheng Yi also looked over. Gu Qingyue shook his head, looking embarrassed, and it was obvious that it was difficult to say.
Wu Yue walked directly towards Lu Weiyi, and not long after he got closer, he heard Lu Weiyi talking and laughing. Then he spoke directly to Su Yan and Wen Jing. "I can't control the zombies in other places, but all of you here came here for Yueban Bay. Now that their leader is not here, of course I am still alive."
"If..." His gaze paused on the two of them for a moment, with a smile on his face, and then turned to the other people surrounding him, "Anyone who dares to touch them here will be looking down on Yuebanwan."
Lu Weiyi chuckled twice, with the liveliness and innocence of a young boy, he said, "I don't want to think about any profound conspiracies or intrigues, or who did it... I'll just assume it was the team leader who ordered it."
He winked at the two of them and said, "Take care of your people. We are all good friends. I really don't want to go to war with you. Don't give me this opportunity."
After he finished speaking, he left. Wen Jing, who was left behind, looked normal. Su Yan, who was irritable, lowered his voice and yelled something to the person next to him.
Wu Yue didn't go closer and walked towards Lu Weiyi. Zheng Yi wanted to follow him, but Wen Jing caught him and greeted him.
"I said if you don't come back, I'll go look for you." Lu Weiyi stood on the coast, using his mental power to explore the bottom of the strait between the shore and the island. He knew who it was without turning around.
"The direction is too difficult to determine." Wu Yue didn't mind at all. After all, as the base commander, he must put the entire base first. "What's wrong with them?"
Lu Weiyi explained briefly, "I'm not sure if there's competition between the zombies. It's not a good idea to have someone take him away alone, so I'll let Ning Yuan and Cheng Qi guard him. As for them..."
He glanced in the direction of Wen Jing and the others and sneered, "Human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."
"They hinted that I should take the opportunity to wipe out the zombie army. Conscious zombies are really worth studying..." Lu Weiyi chuckled twice.
Wu Yue knew that without Qin Jin, Lu Weiyi would have a great chance of winning against these zombies. However, the other party had no intention of doing so. Although it was most likely because of Zhuang Mingxu, he still wanted to say thank you.
Then Lu Weiyi sneered, "Who do you take as a fool? I arrested people, I did research, and finally got the results. They want to share the results without anything valuable. The abacus beads are about to hit me in the face."
"..."Wu Yue.
"Aren't you afraid that Mingxu...will make things difficult for us?"
Lu Weiyi finally turned to look at him sideways, his eyes clearly saying "What nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Yue suddenly felt a little tight in his chest. He suddenly felt that he seemed to have overestimated their position in the base commander's heart.
Lu Weiyi also realized that he couldn't be so direct, and coughed lightly, "Of course it's for your consideration."
"..."Wu Yue.
He no longer trusted the people in front of him who had learned to flatter and please.
Lu Weiyi was embarrassed. He looked at the sea again and said dryly, "The main reason is that I may not be able to beat Qin Jin. Zhuang Mingxu said that if we are not sure, we should not ruin the relationship."
"..." Wu Yue,
Wu Yue had nothing to say.
Lu Weiyi immediately changed the subject, "Our previous bridge was broken by a mutant shark and sank to the bottom of the sea. Do you think it is necessary to salvage it?"
"Of course there are. Not to mention the metals contained in the ships that are thousands of meters long, just the fact that they are salvaged and stored may come in handy at any time," Wu Yue said as he looked towards a "hill"-like mass not far away. That used to be their island, but now it has been completely destroyed into a ruin, without any trace of its original appearance.
"Then I'll ask someone to get it out later." Lu Weiyi didn't notice his emotions, but looked at the few people walking on the sea in the distance.
On the turquoise sea, several people were talking and laughing as they came towards this side. The sea water beneath their feet quickly condensed as they walked, and then recovered again after they left, without any trace left. This miraculous scene still makes people feel awe-inspiring no matter how many times they have seen it.
"Wu Yue, you're back." Xu Sa waved towards Wu Yue and greeted him. Even though the other people had only slept for a few hours, they were in a place with abundant energy and superpowers, and they were in high spirits. Some of them even clearly felt a small improvement in their superpowers.
Thinking that Lu Weiyi asked them to come over, they naturally knew that this was because of Lu Xiao, so they greeted him when they saw him.
"Lu, I still want to sleep. I haven't rested enough." Dean took a step ahead of the others and trotted towards Lu Weiyi, not paying any attention to the sea surface under his feet. However, the sea water seemed to have the ability to bear gravity and dragged him all the way over.
"You can just go to sleep."
"They are coming back, saying it's not safe for me to be alone." Dean shrugged his shoulders, his eyes sparkling, and he didn't look sleepy at all. He blinked and looked at Lu Weiyi for a hint. "David has been up for a long time and must be tired."
"I got it." Lu Weiyi stroked his hair, greeted Lu Xiao who came ashore, and whispered a few words about what happened.
"How old are you? Why are you still doing bad things? You are getting worse and worse." Lu Xiao immediately recognized that Qin Jin had let him experiment with the Abyss Mushroom on his own. He was afraid that he had suffered a loss, so he wanted to let others experience it.
He flicked the other person's forehead, and Lu Weiyi stuck out his tongue instead.
This childish action made Lu Xiao freeze. He looked at Lu Weiyi again inch by inch and grinned after a moment. No one noticed the sparkling crystals in his eyes as he smiled.
His nephew, who had been in self-isolation for so many years, now seemed to have finally recovered completely.
Lu Weiyi didn't notice his abnormality and asked in a low voice why he didn't rest for a while.
"That's enough. There are still many things that need to be dealt with quickly." When it came to business, Lu Xiao regained his serious expression and looked like he wanted to have a detailed discussion with Lu Weiyi.
"Wait for me to arrange some servants." Lu Weiyi looked around and called out, "Xu Sa, take Dean Qingji and the others back to have some rest."
"I'm almost there, but we're short of help right now, so I'll stay and help you."
"No need. Zhuang Mingxu has mobilized Li Zhuang, Ji Qian and others to come back to rebuild the base. You can allocate some time and let them take a rest." Lu Weiyi raised his chin towards Ye Jia, Du Ping and other team leaders, "Let them go with you. It's not easy for them to stay here."
"Okay, I'll take care of the arrangements." Xu Sa took over neatly and made a gesture to Wu Yue to leave.
Upon seeing this, Sun Kai and his companions immediately looked towards Lu Xiao, their eyes eagerly like baby birds waiting to be fed. Lu Xiao slapped the nearest person on the head with his big hand and said, “Are you taking advantage of me enough?”
"Captain, look at what you said, there is no limit to how much you can take advantage of," Han Fei said in an extremely flattering manner.
Lu Xiao shook his head, full of disgust, but still talked to Lu Weiyi and asked them to stay for a while longer.
Lu Weiyi waved his hand to signal them to do as they pleased, and followed Lu Xiao to the temporary resting place.
Lu Xiao said that he was going to rest with the golden eagle, but in fact he had very little time to rest. He had been asking the golden eagle about Lie Yan's recent situation. As soon as he sat down, he thanked Lu Weiyi first.
"If you hadn't brought people to help them, I don't know what would have become of them when I came back." Lu Xiao said this and gritted his teeth at Zheng Yi again, but when he thought about the situation of Zheng's army, he had nothing to say.
Seeing that Lu Weiyi was about to say it was okay, Lu Xiao waved his hand and said, "You are being filial by supporting your uncle, but you shouldn't support the entire team as well. I have asked Golden Eagle to count the supplies given out before. Just consider it as a loan from the base. I will have people replace them with corresponding items to supply you later."
Knowing that he was stubborn, Lu Weiyi did not insist on saying no. He nodded and agreed, "What do you want to do in the future? Why don't you come with me to Laoshan."
"Zhuang Mingxu told me that the forests over there are dense, and these green plants block a large part of the radiation. The new base in Yuebanwan is also located in the canyon between the two peaks of Laoshan. The mountains also have a certain isolation effect on radiation. No excessive radiation has been detected there so far."
After hearing this, Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "The population of Lieyan is huge, it is impossible to abandon any part of it. Plus, the scientific research team that is going there will exceed the capacity of your base, and it may drag down your base by then."
"us……"
"I heard from my uncle," Lu Xiao looked at Lu Weiyi with calm eyes, calming his anxious emotions, "It is impossible for all the surviving bases to completely avoid radiation. They have to adapt to the current changes. It doesn't make sense that if others can survive, Lieyan will die out."
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "If it really comes to that, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on for long."
He spread his hands and said casually, "So, don't be so pessimistic. There is always a way out. If there really is a hopeless situation, it is only a matter of time."
Lu Weiyi understood the truth, but he just didn't want to do this. He lowered his eyes and said nothing. Lu Xiao thought he was being crazy, so he reached out and messed up his already messy hair. Lu Weiyi glared at him in return, and then said, "I don't want this."
"When I came back that day, Zhao Qiang used a video of someone who looked very similar to you being tortured to threaten us..." He was silent for a while and didn't say how worried he was. He just said lightly, "Xiaoxi was very upset."
"Aren't you worried?" Lu Xiao exposed his nonchalant attitude.
"..." Lu Weiyi didn't say anything, but looked up at Lu Xiao with a serious expression, "I don't want to experience it again."
As if he felt the amount was not enough, he said again, "I don't think Xiaoxi would want to either."
"Uncle, let's go together. Even if we are really at the end of our rope, wouldn't it be nice if we could live a few more days together?"
"Before the apocalypse, we were together less and apart more. After the apocalypse, it was still like this. Now the world is like this. Even if you die, don't you want to die with us?"
