Chapter 843: Zombie Attack
Adults can compress the absorbed energy towards the crystal core little by little, but Qin Nian doesn't understand it at all. He was born with superpowers and is sensitive to energy, so it was unexpectedly easy for him to upgrade. Energy seemed to have a natural affinity for him.
Even though they never specifically gave him crystal cores to absorb, he relied on his own daily recovery and became A-level in a very short time.
"Okay?" Li Zhuang was forced to retreat far away by the strong mental power. At this time, he realized the stagnation and heard the voice from afar.
Lu Weiyi shook his head and said, "The energy in his crystal core has been consumed, and some of it has been absorbed into the body."
"I will help him absorb or excrete as much as possible." However, this may take a long time, and the current situation is obviously not appropriate, especially since he is not clear about what happened at the Laoshan base and how Zhuang Mingxu is doing.
Zhuang Aiyi, who was left in the space by him, was also a little unstable. Although he had a carefree Taotao, children could not give him a sense of security.
Li Zhuang understood what he meant and thought for a while, "I will hide you underground. It's not far from where Antonio is. I will call him over."
Two SS-level psychics, no matter who returns to the base, can help.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Also..."
"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret from Eric." While Li Zhuang was speaking, he had already begun to control the surrounding land. The broken walls slowly moved and sank, and soon Lu Weiyi, who was holding Qin Nian, was moved underground.
"There are only ventilation holes around, so please pay attention. I'll be back in half an hour." Li Zhuang's voice penetrated the soil with a muffled feeling.
Lu Weiyi left a trace of mental energy to guard against the surrounding situation, and put his attention back on Qin Nian. The depleted crystal core energy made Qin Nian feel uncomfortable all over. He frowned, not wanting to cry.
But his bloated complexion had improved a lot, but the burning temperature in his body had not subsided. It was as if something had been injected into his skin, with earthworm-like bumps moving around inside his body and even occasionally appearing on his face.
This scene is exactly the same as when zombie energy flows through the body.
Lu Weiyi had never guided others to absorb energy before, so when he saw this scene, he had a guess in his mind - they are both energy, and since the zombie energy can be forced out of the body, then can the absorbed supernatural energy be forced out of the body as well?
Unable to think of a better way, Lu Weiyi immediately implemented it. He decisively cut a wound on Qin Nian's lotus-like arm and probed his mental power into Qin Nian's body, but...
The spiritual power that entered the body could not be clearly distinguished from the energy in the body. It was like using water flow to guide water flow. What could be detected only after it was forced out of the body might be what he had just explored, while only a little bit belonged to Qin Nian's body.
Having already made preparations for the difficult task, Lu Weiyi did not lose heart and just started to channel the energy little by little. However, the biggest consumption in this process was Lu Weiyi's mental power. His limited supernatural powers were almost used up in a short time.
Lu Weiyi didn't dare to completely use up his supernatural power when no one was around, so he hurriedly took out the mutant squid tentacle stored on the static side of the space and absorbed it.
At the same time, the wounds on Qin Nian's body were increasing. He couldn't direct all his energy to one wound, so he could only heal the wounds nearby. Fortunately, the energy flowing under the skin was gradually decreasing, proving that it was effective.
"Uncle" a weak voice sounded, and Lu Weiyi's tense breath finally fell.
Not to mention the affection between him and the child who grew up around him, just look at Qin Jin's current situation. If he knew that Qin Nian was in trouble, I'm afraid that based on the consequences of him being affected by the zombie energy, they would definitely become enemies.
"Uncle, it hurts," Qin Nian said aggrievedly.
Lu Weiyi leaned over and touched his forehead, "It's okay, uncle will help you use up your energy, it will be fine slowly, don't be afraid."
He took out a piece of treasured chocolate from the space and stuffed it into Qin Nian's mouth, "Bear with it for a while."
Qin Nian pursed her lips and responded. Although she could feel his body trembling every time Lu Weiyi cut his wound, he never shouted again.
This made Lu Weiyi's eyes filled with sadness, but before he could become sentimental, he heard the chuckling sounds of zombies on the ground - zombies attracted by the smell of blood.
Some zombie heads have already come up to the ventilation hole that Li Zhuang had deliberately left. It's not known whether they can see the situation underground, but their eyes filled with white are clearly staring at them.
Lu Weiyi was unwilling to waste time and supernatural powers at this time. After realizing that the zombies were just roaring but couldn't come down, he didn't want to care about it anymore.
Especially since he couldn't do two things at once, and what he was doing was completely unfamiliar. If there was any delay or mistake, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, they didn't expect that this was actually a zombie with special abilities. The fire dragon came in from the ventilation duct and did not attack the two of them, but directly filled the small underground space.
Lu Weiyi used a mental barrier to prevent the flames from hurting the two of them, but such a closed environment could not withstand the rising temperature, and the air in their nostrils began to become scorching hot.
Adults can still bear it, but it is a bit difficult for children, especially Qin Nian who is still weak at this time, "Ahem...Uncle..."
Lu Weiyi took a wet towel from the space and covered Qin Nian's exposed cheek. He glanced at the time and estimated that Li Zhuang would be back soon.
"It's okay, Uncle Li Zhuang will be back soon." Lu Weiyi's voice fell, and he cut another wound on the child's forehead.
Qin Nian nodded, tears streaming down her face.
The flames soon covered Lu Weiyi's entire body. His physical strength meant that this level of flame could not harm him at all, but his hair and clothes could not be spared and soon turned into ashes. Fortunately, Qin Nian's body was wet and was not burned by the flames.
Time passed by minute by minute, and just as the zombies on the ground roared and began hammering the ground, the sound stopped abruptly, and the surrounding flames instantly diminished because they no longer had the support of supernatural powers.
Lu Weiyi felt that the ground they were on was rising, and he knew that Li Zhuang had returned.
"What are you doing..." Li Zhuang looked at the wall that had been burned into a glass-like state, and then looked at Lu Weiyi, whose body was covered with a layer of ash. He was unable to ask the rest of the questions.
"I don't have my hands free," Lu Weiyi explained and nodded at Antonio.
Under normal circumstances, Antonio would have to record it and tell his gossip-loving boyfriend back home as a joke, but this time he didn't say a word, just took off his windbreaker and covered him with it.
"I'll guard the door." Antonio turned around and stood outside with his arms folded.
Li Zhuang took a closer look at Qin Nian's condition. When he saw the scars on his naked body that were not even as long as a fingernail, he roughly understood what Lu Weiyi was doing.
"Don't cover the wound with a wet towel, it will prevent the wound from clotting, and the blood will keep flowing, causing excessive blood loss," Li Zhuang said as he threw away his wet clothes, wiped it and wrapped himself with a dry towel.
"Uncle Li Zhuang," Qin Nian called out in a crying voice, her eyes already swollen from crying for a while.
"Poor little thing, don't be afraid, you'll be fine soon." Li Zhuang said as he took out a packet of white powder from the space, mixed it into water, and fed Qin Nian a few sips. "It's similar to anesthetic. Eric has a lot of new drugs. Let Qingji study it with him later."
"Let Antonio stay here, Taotao take me back to the base to see what happened."
"Okay, you talk to him." Lu Weiyi wasted no time. He sent Li Zhuang into the space channel and also sent Taotao to him.
Because of Qin Nian's delay, neither he nor Antonio could leave that day. It was not until the evening that Lu Weiyi drained the excess energy out of his body. After being bandaged, Qin Nian had become a mummy. Whether it was due to the medicine or excessive blood loss, the child did not wake up all day.
Lu Weiyi had been using his supernatural powers for a whole day and was not in the mood to leave. Antonio looked after Qin Nian and told him to take some time to rest.
When I returned to the space, I saw Taotao had taken out a lot of food from the space on her own initiative and placed it beside Zhuang Aiyi's bed. A woven basket at the head of the bed was used as a trash can by them. It was rare for the two children to eat snacks so freely, and they looked very happy.
"Little Daddy" Zhuang Aiyi put down the nut bar in his hand embarrassedly and licked the corner of his mouth, "Is brother Nian Nian okay?"
"It's okay now, but he can't come in here. Uncle David is watching him." Lu Weiyi rechecked the sole of his foot. The branch that was stuck in it was still there. If an adult was here, Lu Weiyi could easily take it out even if he was not skilled. However, he couldn't do it because he was pinching Zhuang Aiyi's fleshy feet.
"Don't move today. Dad is outside and there's no doctor. Tomorrow I'll ask a doctor to take it out for you, and then the treatment department will repair it for you. You'll be fine soon."
"Aiyi, I'll remember this." Seeing that Lu Weiyi looked unhappy, Zhuang Aiyi took out an energy bar and handed it to Lu Weiyi, "Dad, eat it."
Lu Weiyi hadn't eaten for a day, so he took the bowl and started eating. Then he heard Zhuang Aiyi say, "I just asked Taotao to go out for a while..."
Lu Weiyi looked over suddenly.
Zhuang Aiyi waved his hands hurriedly and said, "The place we came from is very secluded and there is no one around."
"It's okay. What's the situation? Is Uncle Li Zhuang here?" Lu Weiyi asked Taotao directly.
"No, there is no one. My brother said that if it is safe, Dad will definitely be waiting for me there, and if there is no one, let me come back immediately." Taotao raised her little face and asked for praise. "I'm back."
Lu Weiyi touched his head and said, "Well done."
He was worried, but he couldn't stop the child from going out. After all, Taotao was still needed to go in and out.
Lu Weiyi lay next to the two children, thought about it for a while and then fell asleep. The two children, who had been tossing and turning all day, fell asleep soon after relying on the familiar scent.
A few hours later, Lu Weiyi woke up full of energy. His supernatural powers, which could not be satisfied by tens of thousands of low-level crystal cores, have now been completely restored. One cannot help but sigh at the high level of this mutant squid. It's a pity that such luck is hard to come by.
On one side, a little boy was hugging his arms tightly and sleeping soundly. Lu Weiyi moved the two of them to the middle of the bed to ensure that they would not fall down, and left the space.
Outside, Antonio was holding the crying Qin Nian and trying to comfort her. The child's crying became unusually loud in the jungle at night. From time to time, mutant creatures were attracted to the surroundings and his controlled knife harvested their lives from afar.
"He hasn't woken up yet. He has a low fever now and may be feeling unwell." Antonio handed Qin Nian to him, not knowing what to do for a moment.
People who kill without blinking an eye are always at a loss as to what to do with these fragile little lives. Seeing Lu Weiyi at this moment, they even breathed a sigh of relief.
"Could it be because of excessive blood loss?" Lu Weiyi touched Qin Nian's forehead, unable to figure out the reason for a moment.
Antonio didn't understand at all, but he knew how fragile children were, "Why don't we rush back to the base overnight or go to Kyoto."
All the people in their base are big and strong men. As for women, none of those with high superpowers can be involved with Wenrou Xiaoyi, not to mention doctors. It would be more appropriate for them to go to Kyoto.
"Can you endure it?" Lu Weiyi had just come out of his rest, and Antonio probably hadn't had a rest for two days.
Antonio gestured as if it was all right, and immediately put the things he had taken out from the ground to take care of the children into the space.
Lu Weiyi summoned the Phoenix, wrapped Qin Nian in two more layers of clothes, and said to Antonio, "You can rest..."
Thinking of his own understanding of the magnetic field corrector, he stopped talking, "...the direction you are pointing in."
Antonio laughed and nodded, and the two of them quickly flew into the air.
"Where's Eric? How did you communicate?" The temperature in the high altitude at night was extremely low, and Lu Weiyi needed to use his mental power to build a barrier for the three of them to avoid the low temperature. Antonio was surprised at first, and now he was quiet, so Lu Weiyi asked.
"Li Zhuang said he needs me to go to Kyoto."
"He believes it?" Lu Weiyi didn't expect that Li Zhuang, who was usually so considerate, could come up with such a bad excuse.
When they returned, it had been several hours since they left. According to the speed they were going, they should have left the area long ago. Only then did they remember that they needed help to go to Kyoto. Should he go back alone to get help?
Even a fool would have some doubts, right?
"Of course I don't believe it," Antonio said bluntly, "but Eric is a smart man."
Smart people know that it is an excuse and will not ask further questions.
Lu Weiyi understood his unfinished intention and nodded to ask about the situation of Eric's team.
The two of them were talking as they flew all night. During the flight, Qin Nian woke up once, drank some milk, and fell asleep again. His fever had not subsided nor was it serious, but he looked very listless.
Around noon the next day, the two finally arrived at the Kyoto base.
The Kyoto base, which seemed a little depressed the last time I came, has gradually stabilized with the return of Zheng Yi and Lu Xiao. The ground has also regained some liveliness, but the underground city still exists.
The city walls were guarded again, but with the departure of the Flame Team, the inspections were not as strict. In order to avoid alerting too many people, Lu Weiyi hid two people and quietly entered the base.
