Chapter 859: "Reserve Food"
"I'm sorry for getting you into trouble, brother. I almost got into trouble here."
"What are you talking about?" Liu Zhuo ignored him as he limped, and only expressed his surprise at the animal just now. "We have seen mutated dogs before, but this time they look completely different. I saw one of them had an extra mouth on its side face..."
There was self-doubt in his tone.
"I saw it," Wang Qing said, looking at Lu Weiyi, "Base Commander, do you know what's going on?"
"It's probably the radiation from the solar storm that caused the distortion," Lu Weiyi said as he reached the fire point. He got off the monkey and pointed at the fire. "Can you cook?"
"Yes." Liu Zhuo put down the injured Wang Qing and immediately started to pick up half of the food he had packed without saying a word.
Lu Weiyi asked the little monkey to catch two more, and the message from Zhuang Mingxu also appeared in the space.
The place where Qin Xing was originally located suffered a ground subsidence after the earthquake. Due to the distance of several thousand meters, the creatures surviving there were not affected by the apocalypse. After Lu Weiyi and his team rashly discovered it, they took away their twenty team members and left the familiar outside world.
After these twenty people stayed outside for a while, eight of them developed superpowers, six turned into zombies, and the rest remained ordinary people.
Lin Yimu took care of them, knowing that they would have to go back to follow Qin Xing, so he sent them to different locations to familiarize themselves with everything after the end of the world. The remaining fourteen lived up to expectations, and after half a year, a group of people who were considered capable of handling the situation followed the outgoing team back to Jin Province.
After Qin Xing asked the people who had returned, he decisively asked for help from Lin Yimu, who sent hundreds of people again. This time, it also included the villagers in the base. Some of them had mutated and become people with special powers, some had become zombies, but most were ordinary people.
After staying there for a while, some of them returned to their hometowns, while a few stayed. After that, their contact was intermittent until the connection completely disappeared and there was no news from both sides.
[If you meet them, you can go to their village. There is news that the Zheng family was able to come up with fetal cultivation technology last year because someone went to their place to do research.] Zhuang Mingxu reminded at the end of the letter.
This made Lu Weiyi raise his eyebrows, and he looked at Wang Qing, who was tearing off a piece of cloth from his clothes and biting it to bandage his wound. It seemed that he had just said that his wife had given birth to a child.
If I remember correctly, he seemed to have used his supernatural powers just now.
A superpower has a child?
[Didn’t the embryo cultivation experts go to our base? 】Lu Weiyi asked.
[Here it comes. The technology is limited. It will take time to promote it on a large scale. Recently, in order to stabilize the base, I am planning to recruit some people for the first batch of public cultivation after screening. However, I heard that Nabi Na has left a research institute...]
Lu Weiyi now understood what he meant. Since it was their research result, after nearly a year, there might have been further progress.
After putting away the papers, Lu Weiyi started chatting with the two people and found out that Liu Zhuo was the first group of people to follow him out, and Wang Qing was the second group.
"Is your Colonel Qin Xing in good health? How is he in the village?"
"It's all the same. Instructor Lin supported us a lot at the beginning, and we started to rebuild after we came back. Colonel Qin Xing has always followed what you said, trying to reduce contact with outside bases and avoid surrounding investigations on us. The village is still relatively safe."
"We, the people with special abilities, are also organized by Colonel Qin Xing to hunt zombies and mutated animals outside. The crystal cores we obtain are used for our upgrades. However, this is the first time that we have discovered such changes in animals." Wang Qing was obviously more interested in the changes in the mutated animals.
"When did you lose contact with the outside world?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"It was probably completely cut off in December last year."
That should be because they just happened to avoid a few solar storms. Lu Weiyi weighed it in his mind and roughly described the current situation, "It's a coincidence that you guys arrived this time. There was a solar storm about a week ago, which brought the radiation value to a new peak. It has decreased now, but the low-level psychics in the team should not be friendly."
Both of them were terrified after hearing this. They both had A-level abilities and didn't feel anything now, but if the radiation continued to intensify in the future, no one would be able to withstand it.
"No wonder I feel that this supernatural power is particularly useless." Wang Qing and Liu Zhuo looked at each other and took the initiative to ask why Lu Weiyi was here.
"Nowadays, the radiation on the ground is no longer suitable for survival of various bases. Everyone is building underground cities, and Yueban Bay has also been relocated."
"Relocate? Where to?" They obviously didn't know the news.
"Yueban Bay has moved to the Laoshan area, and most of the other bases have moved to the east. According to them, a long and narrow hurricane belt has appeared near the west, completely dividing the country from east to west. I went there to check it out this time, and happened to catch up with this storm. I stayed nearby and waited for the radiation value to decrease."
The two men calculated the distance in their minds, and finally Wang Qing took the initiative to speak, "Our village is not far from here, Captain Lu, why don't you go to our base to rest for a while?" He could also let the people in the village know the news.
"Of course it is possible, but..." Lu Weiyi looked at the little monkey that came back with a few preys, "It should not be convenient for it."
"Also, there are a few zombies traveling with me, and the signal I just sent was for them."
“……”Liu Zhuo.
“……”Wang Qing.
After a long silence, Wang Qing asked uncertainly, "Did you capture a few zombies for food reserves?"
Before Lu Weiyi could react to what this so-called reserve food meant, he heard a laugh coming from the woods nearby.
"I... am storing food?" Qin Jin glanced at the person who spoke. Wang Qing stood up instantly, ignoring his injured leg, and stood beside Lu Weiyi at the same time as Liu Zhuo, looking at the person who came vigilantly.
"You guys are so slow," Lu Weiyi accused, and then introduced them to the two, "This is the zombie with me, Qin Jin, the Zombie King?"
This title gave him an indescribable feeling, a sense of showing off that his friend was a remarkable person. Lu Weiyi himself was amused by this idea and pointed behind him, "His men."
Wang Qing and Liu Zhuo were silent for a while, and after a while they said hello awkwardly.
"Yeah," Qin Jin sat not far from Lu Weiyi, "You seem to have left smoothly."
"We suffered some attacks, but we can handle it. How about you?" Lu Weiyi looked at the remaining zombies and found that they had returned to normal, except that they consciously stayed a little further away from Wang Qing and Liu Zhuo.
"We..." Qin Jin's face looked a little strange, as if he didn't know how to continue, which made Lu Weiyi even more curious.
"After you left, those animals chased after you, and we..." Cheng Qi's expressionless face showed just the right amount of sarcasm, "We were ignored."
"..."Lu Weiyi.
"…So those mutant animals are coming for me?"
"We are all together, why do you..."
He stopped mid-sentence.
"Zombies are generally ignored by mutated animals," Qin Jin completed his words, "Similarly, even mindless zombies rarely attack mutated animals."
This is also the reason why Qin Jin thought of escorting him back himself.
"It's the end of the world and there's still discrimination," Lu Weiyi complained, but he remembered the gene fusion experiment in Yue Guo's laboratory. Their original purpose was to prevent ordinary people from attracting the attention of zombies, and at the same time to explore the reason why zombie energy would not infect mutated animals.
Wen Jing and Su Yan had both seen that information before, and they didn't know if they would also follow this path.
Lu Weiyi's mind turned over, his eyes swept over the injuries on the little monkey's body, and looked at Xu Xiao, "Can she heal the injuries?"
"...I think so." Qin Jin looked at Yu Li uncertainly, "Didn't I help you with the treatment back then?"
Yu Li nodded, moved closer to Xu Xiao and said something. The two zombies approached the little monkey. The little monkey immediately became alert. After being patted by Lu Weiyi and communicating with him for a few words, he suppressed his instinct.
Wang Qing and Liu Zhuo huddled in a corner, watching a healing zombie treating a mutant animal, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.
After the monkey's injuries were healed, Lu Weiyi looked at them and asked, "Do you want to get treatment too?"
"...Okay." Wang Qing looked at his haphazardly bandaged leg and nodded vigorously.
Although he was still a little scared, there was no one with healing abilities in the village, and it would take a long time to repair such an injury. He had to take care of his wife and children and absolutely could not get hurt.
Xu Xiao kept swallowing her saliva, especially when she saw the wounds of humans, she even showed her white teeth uncontrollably, but Yu Li next to her held her hands, suppressing her instincts with external force, and even asked Lu Weiyi to protect the two of them as much as possible to avoid casualties and conflicts.
After finally repairing her wound, she immediately turned around and fled to the farthest place.
“……”Wang Qing.
It was the first time I felt scared by zombies.
You know what, it feels pretty good.
“Thank you,” Wang Qing stretched his legs and feet, and said to Xu Xiao. He searched his body and found five B-level zombie crystal cores. He handed them to her embarrassedly, “I heard that the healing system is very expensive. I only have this one crystal core. Look…”
Liu Zhuo immediately held his hand and whispered, "You gave the zombies a crystal core?"
This is tantamount to giving a mutant a crystal core, which is no different from threatening someone.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I..." Wang Qing also thought of this, scratched his head, and quickly apologized.
Before Xu Xiao could react, Yu Li had already reached out to take it. The child said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay."
He stuffed the crystal core into Xu Xiao's hand and motioned for her to absorb it.
Wang Qing and Liu Zhuo's expressions were exactly the same as when Lu Weiyi found out that they also relied on absorbing crystal cores to upgrade. If they were not afraid, they would probably have asked directly.
The few of them had dinner and rested there until midnight. Wang Qing then took advantage of Lu Weiyi going to the bathroom and blocked him at a distance to ask about their relationship.
"What's wrong?" Lu Weiyi didn't feel the need to explain to them.
While Wang Qing was silent, Liu Zhuo, who was originally asleep, walked over quietly and said, "We would like to invite you to the base. I wonder if it is safe for you all."
"Theoretically, there's no problem, but they are zombies after all, I can't guarantee there won't be any accidents." Lu Weiyi looked at the two of them, "What do you want?"
