Chapter 850: Routines and Anti-routines
The little monkey couldn't understand the complicated reason, he only understood that Lu Weiyi said it couldn't be eaten. He slammed the ground with his fists twice again, leaving two holes, and looked up at the sky.
From time to time, there are mutant seabirds circling overhead. This is the result of the recent random hunting by many people around. Otherwise, with them landing from time to time to catch a few people, not everyone would be able to move around on the ground.
The little monkey jumped twice but failed to catch the mutant seagull. Instead, it made Lu Weiyi, who was close to the cliff, so scared that he felt the cliff was about to collapse.
He hurriedly stopped the other party and captured a few more with his mental power. Unfortunately, the mutant birds did not dare to attack humans and their level was not very high, so the probability of mutation was too high.
After failing to eat several of them, Lu Weiyi decided to take the little monkey to the beach to check out some seafood.
The two had just stood up after communicating, when they saw a team migrating towards Yueban Bay in the distance, and their end was visible to the naked eye - Lieyan's team had all arrived.
Without having time to take the little monkey hunting, Lu Weiyi waited for a while and Lu Xiao brought his team to the island. Accompanying him were Wu Yue and the psychics from various teams who had followed him to help before.
These people have been helping out these past few days, so it is only natural for Yuebanwan to host a meal together. Ning Yuan had already arranged everything before he left, but it seems...
Lu Weiyi looked at Wu Yue who was waving at him and the soldier who said a few words to him and then ran towards him, and he knew that he was needed to go over there.
"Hey, I have to go to work again, you can go find someone else to eat with," Lu Weiyi said to the little monkey and walked towards the beach.
Now the boat bridge connecting Yueban Bay to the shore has been taken away, and an ice bridge on the sea level leads directly to the shore. Waves are surging on both sides, and the ice is covered with wet water. Lu Weiyi has seen with his own eyes that someone fell into the sea without paying attention. He felt it was unsafe, but they thought it was cool enough.
When stepping on it at this moment, Lu Weiyi had to be very careful with every step, for fear of accidentally falling and losing face.
When he finally reached the shore, Lu Xiao was already waiting for him. Beside him, besides Zheng Yi, there were many other members of the Kyoto team. Some familiar-looking people came up to greet him, while others came up to make themselves known.
After Lu Xiao introduced everyone, Lu Weiyi had a rough idea in his mind that almost all teams in Kyoto base had sent people over. Even if some of them were not captains, they still had a high status in the team.
"We encountered a group of mutant cattle on the road. Thanks to the help of brothers and sisters from various teams, otherwise we would have arrived at night." Lu Xiao was very considerate of the group and pointed at the corpses of mutant cattle they brought with them, "Pick out the edible ones as a snack for us."
"Thank you all," Lu Weiyi thanked on his behalf and asked if anyone had handled the matter.
"Wu Yue has already asked someone to deal with it," Lu Xiao said, and immediately acted like a host and said to the people around him, "There is a place to rest over there. Everyone, make some adjustments, and we'll see you later for dinner."
"If you need anything, feel free to ask for help anytime," Lu Weiyi also said politely.
"I want to see the zombies release the potion," Zheng Yi asked, looking around, "Aren't there going to be a drug testing meeting?"
The others also looked over to greet him.
"The drug trial meeting ended this morning," Lu Weiyi pointed to a spacious place that looked like a factory building, "Transactions are going on there now, and there are professional scientific researchers there. If you are interested, you can go over and consult."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Yeah, we haven't even arrived yet, is this the end?"
"This really shows that you don't take the Kyoto base seriously."
"At once……"
Someone in the crowd murmured in a low voice, but unfortunately everyone around was a high-level psychic. Lu Xiao's face suddenly turned dark, but he did owe these people a favor on the way, and reprimanding them at this time would seem like he was destroying his own bridges.
On the contrary, Lu Weiyi seemed not to notice their dissatisfaction, and said with a smile, "The number of zombie potions is limited, and it cannot be supplied to every base. It is on a first-come, first-served basis."
If you are not proactive, you can't blame others.
When they heard that the number was not enough, no one bothered to say anything and immediately said goodbye and walked towards the bustling crowd.
"You guys should go and have a rest too," Lu Xiao said to Golden Eagle Cong Qing and the others who were following him, then he took Lu Weiyi and walked towards the temporary resting place of the Flame Team.
"I told them to rest first, but you insisted that it was inappropriate not to meet you, and then caused trouble when we met." Lu Xiao was also dissatisfied with these people's attitude.
"It's a small matter." Lu Weiyi had long been accustomed to the multifaceted nature of human nature and didn't mind at all. "Something happened over at Laoshan these two days, plus there was a laboratory accident. It's a bit chaotic. Uncle, you should be mentally prepared."
He told Lu Xiao what had happened, "Thirty thousand people have been sent there now, and the rest are all here. The first few days may be chaotic."
Lu Weiyi said as he took out a stack of plans prepared in advance by Zhuang Mingxu from the space and handed them to Lu Xiao, "This is a plan made in advance, take a look at it and you will have a clear idea."
"It will take about a week to register the population. People without identity and household registration are not allowed to live in here, so travel will be restricted during this period." Lu Weiyi paused here and looked at Lu Xiao with some worry, "Uncle, have you thought about how the team will live?"
"..." Lu Xiao looked at his worried expression, laughed and stroked his hair, "Uncle, you still need to worry about me. The teams in your base may not be able to adapt as quickly as those soldiers in our team."
After all, he is the only SS-level psychic in the base besides the base troops. Lu Xiao never worries about the survival of the team. Even if they are not in Lu Weiyi's base, any one of them can survive well.
Lu Xiao flipped through Zhuang Mingxu's plan, which even gave the exchange prices for some supplies. He exchanged some of the supplies they didn't need for food, which was in even greater short supply at a very favorable price, which was enough for them to get through this buffer period.
It was obvious at first glance that Zhuang Mingxu had studied this carefully. The more Lu Xiao read on, the more satisfied he became. Seeing Lu Weiyi silently reading a document, he took a curious glance and saw that the document was asking Lu Weiyi how to relocate the detained people.
"Are you still in charge of the base's affairs?" The satisfaction he had just felt towards Zhuang Mingxu dropped significantly in an instant.
"Zhuang Mingxu was injured these past two days. He has a concussion and is said to be vomiting a lot." Lu Weiyi said as he turned a page. Below were the treatment methods and their pros and cons. These were the options that Yin Jin had selected.
After selecting the appropriate one, Lu Weiyi wrote a few more words of instruction before reclaiming the space. "Most of the people below can handle it, they just need to report up to make the final decision."
The political and military aspects of the base are completely separated, which means that even the deputy base commander can only intervene in political management and cannot interfere in military affairs at all. There must be an immediate superior to make the decision.
Lu Xiao did not participate in the management of the base. There were people rushing back and forth around him. It was not a place to talk about these things, so Lu Xiao asked about the potion.
Lu Weiyi sensitively noticed that there was spiritual power scattered around, and with so many people mixed together, he couldn't be sure whether someone was gathering information or simply consuming supernatural powers. "There are so few of them, and it's not easy to make. It is said that some ingredient is difficult to extract. A few days ago, someone in the team asked me if I had them."
"They haven't come into contact with them either?" Lu Xiao asked and then felt it was normal. After all, most of the members of the Only Team had strong superpowers, and the number of zombies that could hurt them was already scarce.
Lu Weiyi carefully used his mental power to lock onto the source of the surrounding mental power, and finally directed his target towards the Henren Team.
After thinking about their purpose, Lu Weiyi withdrew the lock, "... Qingji has used it. When we were chased by the mutant squid before, he was accidentally injured by a zombie. As for the effect..."
The best effect would be if Gu Qingji appeared in front of them now.
Lu Xiao thought about this and sighed, "We have been researching it for so many years, but I don't know when it will be fully popularized."
"It's difficult," Lu Weiyi told the truth, "The impact of zombie energy on ordinary people's bodies is really too great. Without the help of healing psychics, even if the zombie energy is cleared, they will be no different from disabled people."
Relying on clearing away after being attacked will only achieve limited results. The best research direction is the development of vaccines, which will allow the human body to resist the changes caused by the invasion of zombie energy. This is the top priority.
Fortunately, the base has already started research in this direction, so there is no need to talk about it on this occasion.
As the two were talking, they realized something was wrong as soon as they arrived at the temporary rest stop. According to statistics, there were seven or eight thousand people gathered there, so there was no way it could be quiet.
Lu Xiao frowned and strode forward, asking the guard, "Where are the people? They may leave at any time. Instead of staying here, where did they go?"
"Captain Xu told us to take advantage of the fact that we have nothing to do now and go to the sea to get some supplies and store them. The team will gather and disperse along the coast on both sides," the person on duty replied, pointing to the coastline on both sides.
A lot of people could indeed be seen busy on both sides. During this period of time, the surrounding bases were a mixed bag and were scattered. When Lu Weiyi saw them, he thought they were their people. When he heard the answer, he immediately sent out his mental power.
"Captain Xu? Which Captain Xu?" Lu Xiao was recalling which team's leader had the surname Xu.
"It should be Xu Sa," Lu Weiyi said. The people in their team were all ready to obey orders and be deployed at any time. No one knew what to call them, so later they just called them captain.
Such unstable transfers largely avoid people trying to use connections and reduce a lot of unfairness.
"Yes, it was Captain Xu who notified the Golden Eagle, and the Golden Eagle made the arrangements," the person on duty replied.
"It's okay, they are fishing and making salt." Lu Weiyi saw that their techniques were obviously guided by the Yuebanwan base team. Although they were unfamiliar with the methods, they were exactly the same.
"Let them go. The inland lacks these things, and they may become scarce in the future. Uncle, you should go back to the island and rest..."
"Base Commander - here, wait a moment." Xu Sa waved his hand without any image to interrupt Lu Weiyi's words.
"Hello, uncle."
"Xiao Xu is in high spirits again, thank you for your care." Lu Xiao knew that Xu Sa asked the team to collect these to accumulate supplies for their team, so he patted Xu Sa on the shoulder and praised him.
"Uncle, why are you being so polite? We are all family," Xu Sa said, moving closer to Lu Weiyi. "Something happened at the Wen family, and I couldn't make up my mind, so I came here to ask you."
"Can't you send someone to run errands?" Lu Weiyi felt a little sorry for him when he saw his forehead covered with sweat. After all, the highest temperature during the day can reach over 40 degrees Celsius. Even though they, the high-level psychics, have gotten used to it, it still doesn't stop them from feeling hot.
"Don't you know how many people you have sent away?" Xu Sa rolled his eyes at him and said, "If I can free up a few more people, I will follow them to show my status."
Lu Xiao laughed when he heard this, and Lu Weiyi felt a little embarrassed. He was not used to people following him, and he went everywhere alone, so naturally he wouldn't think about their needs.
"I'm going to go to the golden eagle to see what they have gained. You guys go and do your work first," Lu Xiao said as he walked towards a large team.
Xu Sa then whispered about the situation of the Wen family, "Didn't they think about bringing Dr. Pangqiu home before? I don't know why Ning Yuan wanted to extort some supplies from them."
"We have already discussed it. They will give up some rare earths in exchange for Professor Pangqiu returning with them safely. We have also collected the supplies, but due to the limited number of people, we require Dr. Pangqiu to finish today's exhibition before leaving with them."
"But they just told me that they want to replace some scientific research instruments..." Xu Sa said as he handed over a list with the names of various instruments on it. Lu Weiyi had never heard of some of them, but fortunately their uses were marked at the back.
"I asked several researchers, and they said that these are the things needed for research, and some are exclusive to individual projects," Xu Sa gritted his teeth, "They are telling us openly that they also want to form a scientific research team, and even their research direction is no different from ours."
"I'll ask about the storage we have and see which ones can be provided."
"Really give it to them?" Xu Sa frowned and pointed at one of them, "This is the potion needed specifically for zombie energy release, and Pangqiu is one of the main persons in charge. Once he takes it away, it will be tantamount to handing over the results."
"It's okay. Our base has limited raw materials and we can't produce much. It would be good if they could popularize it. It's all for the survival of all mankind. We don't have to seek benefits for ourselves." Lu Weiyi felt sick after he said that, not to mention Xu Sa's face that said "Are you okay?"
Lu Weiyi coughed lightly to cover up and pinched him suggestively, "But these things are very valuable. I can try my best to allocate them, but I will never do a business at a loss. Go and ask them what price they can offer."
Xu Sa stared at him for a long time and nodded, "Okay, I'll go ask."
As soon as Lu Weiyi sent the message, they received feedback. It seemed that they had already expected that they would want the instruments, and even marked the value behind them. Lu Weiyi was amazed when he saw two of them.
What was even more shocking was that the Wen family agreed and even acted quickly to complete the transaction. They looked as if their fear of others' regret was written all over their faces.
Xu Sa looked so disadvantaged that Wen Jing couldn't help but smile. When he saw Lu Weiyi at the dinner table at noon, he kept praising Lu Weiyi for his broad vision.
Seeing that the other teams didn't understand, he directly stated the transaction between the two bases. Everyone present was smart and immediately understood what he meant secretly - the Mengbei base was also going to start researching and developing zombie-releasing agents, and this was based on the premise that someone had the equipment.
This made those who had just exchanged potions at a high price from the Yueban Bay base hesitate as to whether they should go back on their word. At the same time, they also began to praise Lu Weiyi for his magnanimity, but only they themselves knew what they really thought.
After advertising in front of various bases in advance, Wen Jing turned around and began to maintain the relationship with Yuebanwan, and immediately stated that the originally ordered quantity of medicines would not be reduced.
"It's okay. There are still many bases in short supply, and we don't have enough stock. If anyone doesn't want it, they can return it or exchange it." Lu Weiyi's performance was simply that of a saint.
On the contrary, Su Yan couldn't stand it. On the one hand, he was worried that if everyone really withdrew, it would affect Yuebanwan's income. On the other hand, he was also afraid that there would be less left. If someone really needed it urgently, these people would become the target of competition.
Before anyone could think about it, he half-jokingly asked Lu Weiyi, "Since there is such a shortage, why don't you make more? We are all eager to receive the supplies."
Lu Weiyi lowered his eyes and smiled, as if he was thinking seriously. After a moment, he said, "The raw materials are really rare."
"With so many high-level psychics in Yueban Bay, do you find this difficult?" Seeing that everyone was thinking about it, Su Yan knocked the hammer hard again.
Yuebanwan has both money and people, but it is difficult to do so under such circumstances, let alone the Mengbei base which was developed from scratch. Even if it really does not take detours, mass production is almost impossible.
This calmed down many of the people present, but Wen Jing showed no sign of anything, as if he was not the one who had suggested that everyone return the goods.
The dinner became lively again. Lu Weiyi exchanged greetings and expressed his gratitude before leaving. Lu Xiao was worried that he would suffer a loss, so he didn't eat much. When he saw that he was about to leave, he immediately stood up and followed him.
He walked to a place with few people, then frowned and asked about his transaction with the Wen family.
