Chapter 829: Feelings and Interests
Lu Weiyi returned to the passage and entered the space directly. In the space, Zhuang Mingxu was planning to rebuild a residence with two children.
Taotao participated enthusiastically and said that she could use the branches of the peach tree to manipulate the branches to build a bigger tree house. Because the house was a bit far from the peach tree, she dragged all the branches to one side. Zhuang Mingxu felt sorry for the tree when he saw it.
Zhuang Aiyi was more practical and consoled him by saying that the tree house was not fireproof, limiting the space he could use to his own room.
He discussed the layout of the house with Zhuang Mingxu like a little adult.
When the three saw Lu Weiyi appear, Taotao was the first to notice him and jumped over and hugged his thighs.
Lu Weiyi picked the man up and estimated his height and weight.
"He has gained three pounds in weight and about one centimeter in height." Zhuang Mingxu has always kept his situation in mind. "I have specially visited Taoist priest Tianning before. He said that his growth rate may be similar to that of ordinary children in the future, so we just need to be careful not to lose weight."
Zhuang Mingxu took him and put him on his lap, and asked directly, "Are you going to talk about those experts?"
"Yes." Lu Weiyi pulled Zhuang Aiyi to sit on the stool.
"They are all participants in several incidents at the institute. I don't deny that some of them are indeed talented, but it is not a solution to keep having second thoughts like this. We may need to work together to face more challenges in the future. It is not safe to keep these highly intelligent people with ulterior motives in the team. We might as well take the opportunity to send them away."
These people have been living under comprehensive protection and have become somewhat isolated from many situations in the outside world. If they are attacked, it will be a question whether they can survive.
Even if they were lucky enough to return to their previous bases, few could achieve the comprehensive protection of Yueban Bay.
"Did they ask for it themselves?" Lu Weiyi frowned.
"That's not the case. The surveillance showed that there were some problems with these people, but I didn't say to let them go. It's just an opportunity. We welcome them back, and we don't care if they leave."
"But they should be involved in the research. What if the research project is leaked..."
"Then consider it as their benefit to the rest of the people." Zhuang Mingxu saw that Lu Weiyi was not very happy and pinched his obviously thinner cheek. "Do you think the raw materials are so easy to get? Even if they can completely restore it, there may not be a base that will spend energy on it in the future."
"What if it is true? What's the difference between that and picking our fruits?"
"Even if they are lucky, we are all leaving. We should at least leave others with some belief in survival. If we can't give them fish, then we might as well teach them how to fish. As for whether they can catch any fish, that is their business."
Lu Weiyi didn't say anything, and after a while he muttered, "You just deliberately want to announce it to all bases, but we don't have time to do so now, so let these people be the messengers."
Zhuang Mingxu smiled and did not refute, "I hope everyone can survive."
After talking to the two children for a few words, Lu Weiyi hurried to leave the base. Zhuang Mingxu took the opportunity to remind them, "There will definitely be bases that can't survive and will cause trouble. Remember to remind Ning Yuan not to do things to the extreme. If you can give in, give in a few steps. Safety comes first."
"Got it," Lu Weiyi responded and left, leaving the three of them to continue discussing the layout and size of the room.
Even though he didn't know the specific situation, Ning Yuan still arranged for everyone to rest in the place with the lowest radiation as much as possible. Although the ventilation and layout of the rooms temporarily built by earth-type mutants were not very good, the high safety factor left the group speechless.
After Lu Weiyi came back and told the other party about Zhuang Mingxu's idea, Ning Yuan didn't say anything. He just said he understood and would arrange it immediately.
In just a short while, Wen Jing had urged him several times, and this time Wen Xing also waited with him.
The heavy cloak on his body made him look even more frail, as if it wasn't summer.
"I thought Commander Ning was deliberately delaying us?" Wen Xing said with a half-smile.
"Not really." Ning Yuan pretended not to hear the ulterior motive in his words. "We have just dispatched the experts. We will set up the venue later and we can start."
"No need to arrange it. We only have this one. Just go to our residence and the price will be deducted from the medicine we purchased. If you are still worried, you can also mortgage it from the supplies." Wen Jing said anxiously, and Wen Xing pursed his lips and said nothing.
Ning Yuan met his gaze meaningfully and saw Wen Jing's sincere expression, "Whether it is with Zhuang Mingxu or your base commander Lu, this is not the first time we have cooperated. I wonder if you can extend this small privilege? Thank you very much, Wen Jing."
Ning Yuan swallowed his saliva. His impatient attitude was tantamount to confirming some of their guesses.
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense. Wen Xing lowered his eyes, looking like he was not participating in the conversation between the two, but the invisible mental power around them enveloped the three of them, and Ning Yuan's whole body was covered. If he could see the concrete form, he would find that as long as he had other intentions, all the mental power would be suppressed towards him in an instant. Even if his superpowers were strong, he still might not be able to withstand the life-and-death attack of a psychic.
On the spacious coastline, many people nearby who had heard the news were rushing over here. Seeing this scene, curious people gathered not far away and watched, wanting to be the first to get the news.
Time seemed to be stretched out for a long time, but in fact it was only a few tens of seconds, and Wen Xing's spirit was getting closer and closer to Ning Yuan.
Just when Ning Yuan realized something was wrong, a more precise mental power rushed in from a distance, and with a bang, it broke through the mental power blocked by Wen Xing.
Wen Xing was knocked back two steps by the impact, but was quickly supported by Wen Jing, who then looked towards the island in the distance.
On the bare cliff of the island, without the original protective wall, a conspicuous figure of three or four meters tall was pounding his chest. Next to it was an inconspicuous person, not even as tall as his legs, standing there and looking insignificant. However, the sound resounded throughout the entire beach, as if exploding in everyone's mind.
"Don't cause trouble on my turf!"
The lingering sound was buzzing, and many Psychics who were nearby covered their heads and shook them, as if trying to shake out the sound echoing in their heads.
Wen Xing looked calmly into the distance, as if he felt nothing. Ning Yuan reacted and took two steps back. Thinking of Zhuang Mingxu's reminder, he suppressed his temper and did not lose his temper on the spot.
Wen Jing shouted directly into the distance, "Captain Lu, can we meet and talk in detail?"
"The doctor will be here in half an hour." This time, Lu Weiyi's voice was only heard among the three of them.
Wen Jing made a gesture of thanks from afar, and saw the small figure disappear from sight in an instant, along with the giant beast beside him, as if he had never appeared. But looking around, some people with low levels of supernatural powers still couldn't get rid of the lingering sound in their heads, and they were staggering when they walked.
Ning Yuan nodded to the two of them, turned and walked towards the island.
"Second brother, are you okay?" Wen Jing returned to the residential area and asked Wen Xing in a low voice.
Wen Xing shook his head, "He didn't attack, so he is Lu Weiyi, the actual person in charge of Yueban Bay?"
Wen Jing thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say who is in power between the two of them. Some people also say that he is a puppet of thugs. We can only say that both of them have weight in their words."
Wen Xing nodded and looked back again.
With the appearance of Lu Weiyi, the forces on the island that were originally ready to make moves have become much more restrained.
Half an hour later, Ning Yuan appeared at the temporary residence of the Mengbei base with several tightly wrapped researchers. Wen Jing had been waiting for a while in advance. When he saw them, he immediately walked in and apologized to Ning Yuan.
"It's okay. I can understand. Base Captain Lu said that human beings are one. We should talk about interests when it is time to talk about interests, and we can also ask for favors when it is time to talk about favors. There is no conflict, right?" Ning Yuan smiled, but he was thinking about how to take advantage of them.
But Wen Jing didn't even need anyone to ask, he just took out a wooden box, stuffed it into his hand and said, "Department Director Lu is righteous, I know he likes jade, this is the tourmaline passed down from my family, only he can appreciate it, I hope he doesn't mind that everyone in the family is reckless."
"It's a small matter. We are brothers who have fled together. You are too polite," Ning Yuan said, which did not affect his speed at all.
Inside the temporary residence of the Mengbei base, there are high walls surrounding it, and there is a passage leading directly to the underground. Ning Yuan led his men in, and immediately an earth-type mutant sent the group underground. It was estimated that they reached the bottom after nearly two hundred meters.
Ning Yuan first measured with the machine, and then took out the instrument he brought specially into the space and asked a group of professionals to debug it.
Similar to the inside of the cave, several psychics on duty were guarding a quiet cage. Someone went to observe and asked if the person inside could be completely imprisoned.
"He is conscious and can be controlled." Wen Jing obviously felt that it was inappropriate to treat the "person" in his eyes in this way.
"There have been precedents of test subjects breaking free and injuring researchers during drug trials. I hope you can understand. Also... the drug may be painful when it takes effect."
"Okay, I'll cooperate with you in everything." Wen Jing walked forward and opened the cage himself.
The person in the cage opened his eyes, revealing a pair of eyes that were constantly shrinking, which gave people a weird feeling when directly annotated.
But the experimenters present were exposed to these things every day, and Ning Yuan had seen zombies and half-zombies before, so naturally he had no reaction. Instead, Wen Jing showed the most obvious emotions.
Hearing his breathing speed up, Ning Yuan asked considerately if he needed help.
"I'll do it," Wen Jing replied, turning to repeat to the man in a low voice, not forcing him to do what he was going to do.
After a while, the man seemed to digest the meaning of his words and walked slowly towards the bed.
His joints seemed a little stiff and he staggered when he walked, but fortunately he had no intention of attacking.
After the man lay down, Wen Jing continued to explain and took control of his entire body. Someone immediately started testing him and asked questions from time to time.
From the time of injury to the treatment in between, a string of numbers appeared on the machine in a short while.
The experimenter in charge nodded towards Ning Yuan, who then took out a refrigerated box and handed it over.
