Chapter 852: Meet in the Future
"Does that mean there is no zombie energy in the bodies of SSS-level mutants?" someone asked.
"Yes, strictly speaking, the reason why people with special abilities self-destruct when upgrading is because the zombie energy in their bodies is out of control, causing a riot," Lu Weiyi said, flipping through the space and taking out a few physical examination forms from each time he upgraded.
"This is my test sheet for when I was upgraded to S-level and every time since then." Lu Weiyi tore off the specific energy content marked on it (the energy content of each person at the same level is different, and strictly speaking, one can guess a lot about the other party's abilities by looking at this value), and only kept the zombie energy content, and handed the sheet down for them to circulate.
"The research institute used my test report as a template a long time ago and began to popularize it to every mutant who was about to upgrade at the Yuebanwan base. The very obvious difference between this test report and others is that the zombie energy in my body is constantly decreasing with the upgrade."
"How is that possible? Based on the upgraded safety values we obtained, the safety value of zombie energy has also increased."
"Yes, and each level up will definitely absorb a large amount of crystal cores. Even if the purified crystal cores still contain a certain amount of zombie energy, the accumulation of small amounts should not be a decreasing trend."
After everyone looked at the list that was circulated and asked each other, they looked at Lu Weiyi in confusion.
"The theoretically safe value is just the range of successful upgrades within a controllable range. It is not absolutely safe. This value is suitable for most people, but not everyone. Moreover..."
"There is too much zombie energy in the human body. Do you think it will be okay?" Lu Weiyi asked back.
No one responded, so Lu Weiyi continued, "Of course this is just a guess based on my template, and I cannot guarantee its authenticity, but in the process of upgrading SSS, it is a very difficult process to completely expel the zombie energy from the body."
"Is it because of this that your upgrade process only lasted more than half a year?" someone suddenly asked.
"..."Lu Weiyi.
He thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure. To be exact, I was caught up in an... obsession."
The people below started whispering again, asking what he meant. Lu Weiyi explained with his limited language, "It's similar to... Everyone should have read novels about cultivating immortals. I think it's similar to the inner demon mentioned during the upgrade. It was the one thing I couldn't let go of at the time."
"Then how did you wake up in the end?" someone asked the key question.
"…I didn't wake up by myself," Lu Weiyi said, "it was Zhuang Mingxu who woke me up."
These things sounded very mysterious, and everyone had a look of confusion on their faces, but Lu Weiyi couldn't go on to explain in more detail. "It involves some specific privacy, so I can't go into details, but if you encounter such a situation, the only thing that will help is to stick to the status quo. Even if it is something that you regret deeply and are terrified about, you can only get out of it after you overcome it."
Lu Weiyi thought about his original illusion and finally concluded, "The enemy deep in your consciousness is yourself. You can only wake up if you make a choice that even you approve of."
Everyone was still busy when they heard Lu Weiyi continue, "Now let me briefly summarize the method of integrating energy into my body when I upgrade."
It was nothing more than re-explaining what he had taught He Song at the beginning. He Song also came this time. As the only person who had been in contact with him a long time ago, there had been no progress so far. This was also the reason why he specifically applied to come here this time.
"This is the process in principle. Next, I will use my supernatural powers to mobilize the energy in your bodies so that you can feel the process. Those who want to experience it can raise their hands." As soon as Lu Weiyi finished speaking, the people in Yuebanwan immediately raised their hands, and even the ones closest to them wanted to rush up.
Lu Weiyi naturally had no reason to seek a distant goal instead of a near one, but there were many people present, so he did not take direct action like he did when he taught He Song. Instead, he extended his mental tentacles and touched the other person's brow.
The people who were still hesitating immediately looked over here, and some even walked closer, "Don't move from where you are, I'll come over."
"Li Zhuang, relax."
"Ye Jia, don't resist."
"Song Xian, take back your supernatural powers."
Most of the psychics in Yueban Bay have improved their abilities through repeated battles, and those who can now be on the scene are no exception. In particular, they have been specially trained to fight against psychic abilities, so it is a little difficult for them to fully accept it at this time.
Lu Weiyi had to remind them one by one, "Mobilize your supernatural powers and follow my energy."
"At the beginning, the energy mobilized should be small, and then it will increase little by little, rotating like a whirlpool, using centrifugal force to separate the zombie energy from the crystal core energy."
"This process is very slow, don't be anxious. It is determined by the zombie energy contained in your body. If you mobilize too much energy, it is easy to lose control halfway, so the energy needs to be increased bit by bit."
Lu Weiyi instructed, and after making sure that everyone had felt it, he switched to another batch.
Even if it was a good thing, there were many people who, for various reasons, did not accept Lu Weiyi's personal demonstration.
In less than half an hour, Lu Weiyi had walked to the last corner of the classroom.
Hiding in the last corner was a hunched-over man, wrapped tightly in linen clothes, looking particularly unlike a good guy.
In front of a group of men who were almost naked because of the hot weather, her abnormality was extremely obvious and immediately attracted the attention of those around her.
"Which base are you from?"
"How come we have never seen you before?"
"Captain Lu, don't get close to him yet. Those who come here are all well-known names from various bases. This person looks abnormal because he is acting sneaky. Who knows if he has any purpose? Safety comes first, so don't get close to him."
The people around stopped Lu Weiyi and even protected him behind them. Li Zhuang, who followed Lu Weiyi, also signaled him not to get close.
"I... I'm a hunter of superpowers..." The man lowered his head, his voice hoarse as if it was squeezed out of his throat, "I... want to..."
Eric in the crowd suddenly asked, "What a coincidence, I am also a hunting mutant. Which team are you from? Tell me so I can get to know you."
The man didn't seem to expect that there would be a roaming hunter with special abilities in such an occasion. He got stuck for a moment, which made the people around him more alert.
Lu Weiyi never said a word. Perhaps others were not sensitive enough, but from the look in his eyes, this man had powerful energy. The energy in his crystal core was like a dazzling little sun. There were no more than five people on the scene who could match his strength.
Apart from the few in Yueban Bay, only Zheng Yi and Lu Xiao were similar to him. In addition to the zombie energy with black mist, his little sun was also mixed with energy that did not belong to him.
It's obvious who this person is.
The whole Kyoto said that he was missing. Lu Weiyi didn't expect him to be here. He glanced at Li Hua who was maintaining order outside the meeting room, and didn't know what he felt.
"Forget it. It's not easy to come here from thousands of miles away, and he may not be able to hurt me." After Lu Weiyi finished speaking, he covered him with his mental power and reminded him in a low voice, "Relax."
The man raised his head slightly, revealing mottled black on his face. Lu Weiyi was not good at disguise, and he could not tell whether it was his disguise or he really looked like this. But when he thought of the person who used to be his deskmate and was a close friend, he could not help but sigh.
Apart from a pair of similar eyes, others would not be able to recognize who he was even if they saw him. However, the moment the two looked at each other, they knew each other clearly.
Without exposing his identity, Lu Weiyi returned to the podium and continued, "I use this method to eliminate the zombie energy in my body. If you have any better ideas, you are welcome to discuss them together."
Perhaps it was because he saw Zhao Qiang that Lu Weiyi remembered something he had overlooked, "The second thing, let's talk about the person who upgraded his psychic crystal core."
In the corner, Zhao Qiang, who was still trying, suddenly stiffened and all the muscles began to tense. He glanced towards the podium, his eyes darting around, trying to find the fastest way to leave.
Then Lu Weiyi said, "The crystal core of a mutant can indeed enhance one's abilities, but this is a road of no return. I won't talk about the moral aspects. I will mainly talk to you from the perspective of my own interests."
As he spoke, his eyes moved around and stopped at Wu Yue. He pursed his lips, not knowing whether he should continue.
Wu Yue looked at him with a smile, as if he didn't know what he was hesitating about, and nodded for him to continue.
Lu Weiyi looked at the table and hesitated for a moment. He knew why Wu Yue had to upgrade in the first place, but hearing this now was tantamount to a public execution.
"Captain of the Land Base?"
Someone thought he was distracted and reminded him, so Lu Weiyi had to continue.
"The world seen by SSS-level psychics is different from that seen by everyone else. They no longer need to use their superpowers to detect other people's superpowers, but can distinguish them with their naked eyes."
"Everyone's body is no longer flesh and blood, but streams of energy. This energy is mixed with zombie energy, which makes the energy in some people's bodies not connected, but presented in sections. This is the state of a psychic during a normal upgrade."
"However, if you have absorbed the crystal core of a psychic, his energy will be integrated into your body. But everyone's energy is different, just like there are no two people in the world who are exactly the same. Everyone's energy is also different. When the energies of different psychics are mixed in the body, it will present a... mottled color."
"Captain Lu, is this the reason why you were able to tell at a glance that Zhao Qiang had absorbed the crystal core of a mutant?" Someone suddenly spoke, making the meeting room quiet for a moment.
After a while, Lu Weiyi nodded and said, "There was a so-called SSS-level psychic in Laoshan before, Gu Sheng, you should all have heard of him."
"He relied on the crystal cores of psychics to rise up. There are rumors that he is crazy or schizophrenic. In fact, it is just the remnants of different psychics in his body. This is an invisible thing that may erupt at any time. It is probably similar to the possession mentioned in superstition."
"Then... will it be okay if we don't upgrade?" a voice said, and immediately defended, "I'm just asking."
"No, it's impossible to upgrade completely, but this thing is like a time bomb in the body, it may pop up at any time and give you a fatal blow." Lu Weiyi looked at everyone, "I know that many people are thinking of taking shortcuts and want to speed up, but don't do things that will drain the pond to catch fish."
His eyes inadvertently glanced at Wu Yue, and Lu Weiyi saw the sadness in his lowered eyes. He was not sure what kind of mood he was in when he took his comrade's superpowers, but no matter what the reason was, this might have ruined the possibility of further developing his superpowers.
Lu Weiyi felt a little sorry, but it seemed inappropriate to say so, so he could only turn his attention back to the topic.
"There is another way..." Lu Weiyi glanced at everyone present and said slowly, "Eating human flesh."
"Before the apocalypse, some people said that this was a taboo engraved in human genes. It would make people gradually approach zombies, become bloodthirsty, like to eat raw food, and develop an appetite for living people and animals, etc...."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Weiyi felt a noisy sound coming from not far away outside. He looked through the open window and saw someone running towards him, followed by a zombie riding on a giant wolf spirit.
The other person was wearing a long coat with an open front, his long hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and he held his head high, looking like a general returning from a victorious battle.
The moment they saw his figure, everyone in the originally quiet meeting room stood up at the same time and looked over vigilantly.
"Captain Lu...Base Captain Lu, we are surrounded by zombies."
Without being told, Lu Weiyi had already seen it.
"What do you want to do?" Before Lu Weiyi could ask, someone in the conference room immediately spoke up, "This is human territory, you zombies are too rampant."
"You talk as if this is your territory," the tall zombie following Qin Jin said mercilessly.
Qin Jin ignored everyone else and walked closer to the giant wolf who jumped off the spiritual body. He glanced at all the psychics and fixed his eyes on Lu Weiyi. "I think this island is great. I decided to live here in the future."
"..."Lu Weiyi.
He tilted his head to look at the person in front of him, and asked uncertainly, "Are you trying to...steal my territory?"
After all, everyone knew that even if he left, he had no intention of giving up the island here in Yueban Bay, and he still thought that maybe he could come back one day.
Qin Jin, "...".
He just felt that Lu Weiyi had never been smart.
Just when he was about to answer, Wu Yue, who was sitting on the side, came forward and said, "Qin Jin means that he should help us guard this place to prevent others from occupying it, right?"
He looked at Qin Jin, and the expression on his face recovered a little.
Qin Jin didn't say it explicitly, but it was considered as his tacit consent.
"Okay, but let me make it clear in advance, this island was my birthday present before the apocalypse, and it will also be mine after the apocalypse. I will take it back later." Lu Weiyi made his words clear.
Qin Jin nodded, sat next to Wu Yue, picked up his notes and started reading, then gestured to Lu Weiyi to continue.
Lu Weiyi returned to the podium and reminded, "Make some room outside and don't surround this place."
These psychics were completely surrounded by zombies, so they had no mind to continue listening.
Qin Jin waved at the zombies following him, and immediately a zombie came out and roared, followed by deafening responses from all directions.
Lu Weiyi's eyebrows jumped, and he wondered if Qin Jin had moved his old nest here.
I think everyone present had thought of this possibility, which reduced the number of questions asked and the meeting was concluded in less than an hour.
At this time, the afterglow in the sky had not yet faded away, and the sunset glow illuminated half the sky.
"Today's meeting ends here. I will take the remaining team members away to Laoshan later. If there is a chance, everyone here is welcome to visit us."
"In addition, researchers in Yuebanwan and Kyoto have made predictions about future astronomical phenomena. In the next three to five years, there may be continuous solar storms, which will aggravate the disorder of our magnetic field and have a certain impact on humans, animals and plants in nature."
It seemed as if no one had expected him to say this. There was a moment of noise around them. Lu Weiyi lifted the table and motioned for everyone to be quiet. "Research shows that towering trees, jungles and land can block radiation to a certain extent. Our base does not have to be limited to underground. We can also consider choosing a base in the mountains."
Looking at the familiar faces in front of him, Lu Weiyi finally felt that this separation might be forever. He opened his mouth and said after a while, "I hope that today's little experience can give everyone here a better chance to survive. I also hope that you understand in your hearts that our opponents have never been each other. In a small sense, we used to be a country. In a big sense, we belong to the same race. The superpowers and swords in our hands should be directed outwards, not at each other."
Lu Weiyi's eyes moved around and finally stopped on the figure in the corner, "If we are going to die one day, I hope our death will be valuable!"
"See you in the future."
"See you in the future!"
