Chapter 842: The Cub Escapes into Space
"David is a thrifty person. He says that we should not waste anything."
Lu Weiyi was speechless as he looked at Antonio, whose hands were covered in blood as he dug out human crystal cores in order to "save money".
He took out the human crystal core himself and survived after suffering so much pain. But with Antonio's steady, accurate and ruthless move, it would be impossible for him to survive.
What's more important is that these people are still alive after being drugged. They may have a clear sense of pain, but they just can't wake up. This seems to be no different from digging out crystal cores while they are still alive.
Looking at the people piled up in all directions, Lu Weiyi really felt like he had entered a slaughterhouse.
"How about... we go directly to Kyoto?" It seemed like they were not needed here at all.
Lu Weiyi asked Li Zhuang.
"Their supplies are in there," Antonio pointed to where the innermost leadership lived, "the middle is full of supplies."
Lu Weiyi glanced at Li Zhuang. Their original plan was indeed to take away all the supplies here, but now they were not the ones who took the lives of the people. If they took the "spoils" away, wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable?
"This is for you. Thank you Antonio for the news." Eric made a gesture of invitation.
"If you want to leave, you can take a few people with you." Anyway, there are all kinds of people there, so Lu Weiyi didn't think it was a big deal to have Eric and a few more people. Zhuang Mingxu had already given him a heads-up in advance - it would take some time to sort out the personnel and forces after returning.
"Thank you very much," Eric said sincerely. His appearance was obviously different from that of other Chinese people, which made it easy for him to be treated unfairly here. Especially in the current situation of material shortage, the other party might even unite against them just because he was a foreigner.
Eric has experienced such situations countless times since the end of the world. He grew up in an environment where the strong prey on the weak, so he doesn't think it's a big deal, but every sincere treatment is precious.
"However, they will definitely not be able to get used to the life in the base and will bring trouble to you. They will also be a disaster for some people in your base." Eric knew clearly about the actions of his men. Keeping a distance allows them to coexist peacefully, but if they live together and something goes wrong, it is the affection between them that will be consumed. He glanced at his brother who continued to dig crystal cores like a machine.
Even though this guy was a bit stubborn, he was still unwilling to stand against him.
Lu Weiyi nodded and walked towards the warehouse where supplies were stored with Li Zhuang without any reluctance. Their base was rich in supplies and had a large population base, so they could not afford any waste.
According to Li Zhuang's analysis, the area surrounded by them should be where people with status in the team live. No matter whether it is an attack by zombies or mutant creatures, the people on the periphery can contain them, giving the central area a chance to leave.
However, when they entered the central area of the circular building, they found that the houses in the circle were filled with supplies.
It was just a rough classification of food and daily necessities randomly divided, with the detailed ones piled up randomly. Even so, it still took up more than a dozen rooms.
After squatting down to check the underground, Li Zhuang pointed in a direction and said, "There is an underground warehouse over there. There are cars, weapons, gasoline and other things in it. It leads directly to another direction. It should be convenient for escape in an emergency."
It’s a pity that no one expected that the car would be scrapped now.
The two men collected everyone's belongings and returned to the periphery. Antonio's crystal core had not yet been dug out.
After asking the other party and knowing that they did not want to go to the Kyoto base with them, Lu Weiyi and Li Zhuang did not join the two of them, but left the place where the free man was overnight.
"Some of them should come back to tip off, so don't kill them. It's better to check whether there are any other bases involved," Li Zhuang warned meaningfully.
Eric made an OK gesture in understanding and watched the two people disappear into the woods in the night.
After walking for thousands of meters, Li Zhuang found the ruins of a house that had collapsed halfway before the end of the world. He signaled them to rest for a few hours before continuing on their journey. "You go to the space to rest, and your supernatural powers will recover faster."
"You coming too?"
"Forget it. Major General Lu won't be able to bear it in a few minutes, and I won't be much better either." After all, it was not energy that they could absorb. The scattered part that escaped was enough. The rich energy like that in Lu Weiyi's space was no longer something that people like them who were one level lower could enter. This was also the reason why Gu Qingji and Xu Sa upgraded so slowly, and Lu Weiyi didn't let them in.
"Okay, then be careful, I'll take your turn in three hours."
"No, wait until your superpowers recover before coming out. There's still early, no rush."
After Lu Weiyi made an estimate, he agreed with Li Zhuang's words and flashed into the space.
However, not long after, Taotao appeared in the space with Zhuang Aiyi and Qin Nian in a disheveled state.
"Father, help! There are bad guys who want to capture Taotao and my brother." As soon as Taotao appeared in the space, she rushed towards Lu Weiyi like a small cannonball.
Lu Weiyi caught them and held them up, then looked at Zhuang Aiyi who was walking towards them hand in hand, panting. The two children were still in their pajamas, without even shoes on their feet, and it was obvious that something had happened while they were sleeping and they were too late to react.
"What's wrong?" Lu Weiyi put the person directly on the table, controlled his mental power to pick up a bed from the pile of supplies, and put the two of them on it.
Zhuang Aiyi was in a good mood, but Qin Nian was obviously still in shock. She held Lu Weiyi's arm with her little hands, trying to cry but not cry. Her crying little face looked particularly pitiful.
"Uncle, there are bad guys."
"Well, who are the bad guys?" Lu Weiyi checked the ground for them and found that the two children must have run on the ground, and their soles were scratched, leaving deep scratches. Zhuang Aiyi's forefoot was even pierced by a wooden branch, leaving a bloody pit.
A not-so-thick section broke off inside and couldn't be removed with bare hands.
Lu Weiyi frowned as he watched Taotao's eyes filled with tears. He hugged Taotao's arms with both hands and said, "Brother is bleeding."
"Don't cry, brother. It doesn't hurt." Zhuang Aiyi coaxed Taotao. He had been trained by his family since he was a child, and his physique was much stronger now. He was not a squeamish person. At this time, he held Taotao and sat her beside him. He coaxed her twice and then told Lu Weiyi about the situation.
"I'm not sure what happened exactly. The base has been very busy these days, and Grandfather is often not at home, so Nian Nian was sent here by Uncle Yin Jin."
"There are more people on duty around our house. My eldest uncle doesn't let me take my brother out, saying that things are not peaceful these days and asked me to be wary of everyone."
"My grandfather accompanied me to sleep last night, but he was called away in the middle of the night. In the morning, there was a loud noise outside the house, and I saw a lot of people rushing in. Zhuang Wukong, Xiaobai and the other two stopped the people in the yard."
"Where are the other people at home?" Lu Weiyi couldn't help but ask anxiously.
Their team lived together, so it was basically impossible for only three children to be left. Moreover, as far as Lu Weiyi knew, the only place where the team lived was the area near the original mountain temple, which had now completely become the area where the base army was stationed.
If someone could break into the villa under such circumstances, it could only mean that something had happened within the base army.
"I didn't find it. There was no one at home. The uncle on duty outside told us to run quickly. My...my brother pulled me towards the passage, and then..." Zhuang Aiyi's voice trembled. Lu Weiyi reached out to hug him and patted his back to comfort him.
Tao Tao continued, "There is a big tiger chasing us from behind, it's really big..."
Taotao gestured with her hands, as if she felt the description was not enough, "Bigger than Xiaobai."
How did the mutant tiger get into the base?
Lu Weiyi didn't know what was going on for a moment, especially since the children knew very little.
"Dad, Nian Nian, what happened to Nian Nian?" Zhuang Aiyi's exclamation interrupted Lu Weiyi's guess.
When he looked down, he saw that Qin Nian's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were wide open as if they would bulge out at any time, and her whole body was burning hot.
"Oh no!" Lu Weiyi cursed and said anxiously, "You wait here, I'll go save Nian Nian."
Without waiting for the two to reply, Lu Weiyi carried Qin Nian and left the space - the energy in the space was now too strong, and even Lu Xiao, who was at SS level, could not bear it after just a few words, not to mention Qin Nian, who was only at A level.
Zhuang Aiyi is an ordinary person who is like an energy insulator and doesn't feel anything at all. Taotao herself is not sensitive to this. Lu Weiyi temporarily ignores that Qin Nian is also a superpower.
As soon as he left the space, Li Zhuang looked over and found that he was holding a child in his arms. He immediately strode over and asked, "What's going on?"
"Something happened at the base. Taotao brought Zhuang Aiyi and Taotao into the space. I forgot that Qin Nian was a psychic." Lu Weiyi explained and called Qin Nian twice. Seeing that the child had rolled his eyes, he became more and more nervous.
Li Zhuang had seen the rat that exploded after licking Lu Weiyi's blood when he was injured, so he became nervous when he heard this.
"Niannian? Niannian? Release your supernatural power?" Lu Weiyi patted the person but got no response.
There was no time to think of other solutions, Lu Weiyi instructed Li Zhuang, "You stay here, I will try my best to help him dissipate his supernatural powers."
"Okay," Li Zhuang responded, standing at the dilapidated door and repairing it a little using his supernatural powers.
Lu Weiyi pressed his eyebrows against Qin Nian's eyebrows, and his mental power instantly entered his body, causing Qin Nian's mental power to begin to wander.
Qin Nian was born with superpowers. Lu Weiyi nurtured him with his mental power when he was a fetus. After he was born, he couldn't control himself and Lu Weiyi guided him little by little. Now it is not difficult to mobilize his abilities.
With just a little guidance, his mental power immediately began to disperse along with him.
The surrounding mental energy gradually began to increase from a trace at the beginning, like the marks drawn by a brush in a hurry, without any rules and extremely messy.
Lu Weiyi activated it several times, and the energy in Qin Nian's crystal core had been completely consumed. However, the energy that his body absorbed unconsciously was not so easy to guide out.
