Chapter 86: Jundun comes to visit
"Brother Xi, you should still help with the cooking. Steamed buns, dumplings, cakes, fried dough sticks, porridge, and rice are all available for eating at any time. Make whatever you want and as much as you can. Put everything in a bowl when it's done. Tell me anytime if you need any seasoning." Lu Weiyi turned his gaze to the five remaining people beside Xi Shi and opened his mouth, not knowing how to allocate the rest of the tasks. He blinked and looked back at Zhuang Mingxu.
Zhuang Mingxu felt helpless because he was only handsome for three seconds, but he also found it funny to see him acting like a cute little animal. He looked at Lu Xi and said, "Xiao Xi, how is your shooting skill?"
The boys who came out of the military compound were all sent to the army for training. They had good physical fitness and marksmanship. But when Lu Xi went to live in the compound, Zhuang Mingxu was no longer in Kyoto, so he didn't know him well. Moreover, seeing that he was young and didn't seem to be very strong, it would be better for him to ask Zhuang Mingxu about his situation.
"Fortunately, my father taught me," Lu Xi replied.
Zhuang Mingxu looked at Lu Weiyi. He didn't know Lu Xiao and didn't know what Lu Xiao's attitude towards children was in real life. Lu Weiyi nodded.
Lu Xiao is protective of his people, but he is a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs. He is particularly serious in this regard and will not let them off.
"Lu Xi, Dean, and Wei Yi stay at home, waiting for someone to come and exchange things. The other three of you go to the trading market and try to spread the word that we are exchanging water for supplies so that they can all come and exchange." After Zhuang Mingxu finished speaking, he motioned for Lu Weiyi to take out the guns and handed one to each of the five people.
"The people at the base might attack us, so be careful when you go out, and don't separate. As we said last night, vegetables, eggs, and meat should be prioritized, followed by rice, flour, grains, oil, condiments, and medicines. Then there are seeds, saplings, generators, and gas tanks. After that, there are solar panels, lights, and finally clothes. Let Ning Yuan tell you the exchange ratio." After that, he looked at Zhuang Aiyi who was looking at him in the crowd, "Aiyi..."
Zhuang Aiyi's eyes immediately lit up.
"Aiyi helps Grandpa Xi at home. If you need to go out, come and tell daddy."
"Okay," Zhuang Aiyi responded crisply and walked to Xi Shi's side.
After assigning their tasks, the group prepared to separate. Xu Sa saw Liu Rui off in the yard, whispering to him to be careful. Xi Shi took twenty or so pancakes from last night and some pickles, divided them into six portions, and handed them to the six people who were going to travel to pack. Ning Yuan was instructing Gu Qingyue on the exchange prices of various things.
Before getting in the car, Lu Weiyi took out six guns, "For emergencies, and to protect against living people, but it's best not to use them. Once the gunshots are heard, all the zombies around will be attracted, and it will be difficult for you to escape."
It was rare to see Lu Weiyi instructing others like this. Lin Yimu and Ning Yuan both felt relieved that their own son had grown up. Only Li Zhuang took a handful of hair from behind him, reached out from the driver's seat, ruffled Lu Weiyi's hair, and before Lu Weiyi could react, he said "let's go", drove out of the yard quickly, and saw from the rearview mirror that Lu Weiyi was stunned for a moment, then his face was obviously swollen like a puffer fish, and he laughed out loud.
Zhuang Mingxu, who was sitting in a wheelchair at the door, looked back from the departing car and looked at Lu Weiyi with deep and dark eyes, but when he turned around, his eyes quickly restrained and a hint of gentleness appeared on his face.
"What should we do with them?" After seeing off the people who were leaving, Gu Qingji looked at the group of people who were unconscious on the ground and asked.
"Tie them up and gag them to prevent them from making any sound. Put them in the room where I live. When Jundun comes to ask for them, open the door and call Zhang Xun and Lin Jun's men first." All three parties wanted to take all the benefits from them for themselves, and in this situation, no one would allow one party to monopolize it.
Zhuang Mingxu looked at Lu Weiyi and hinted with his eyes, "When the time comes, you will drag the unconscious people under the bed and I will hide them."
Lu Weiyi understood that he was covering up for himself, so he nodded and did not refute.
It was still early and there were not many people in the market, so Zhuang Mingxu asked Lu Weiyi to take out the medicines in the space and have someone sort them out. The others went to help Xi Shi cook. He took Lu Weiyi back to the room while he was giving her an IV to ask about some things in the space.
Just after nine o'clock, there was a knock on the door. Lu Weiyi, who was sitting on the bed exercising and directing the little green branch, looked at Zhuang Mingxu who was receiving an IV on the bed and said, "They are coming." At the same time, he quickly dragged several people in the corner of the room under the bed.
Two people came, one of them was Cheng Ying who came last time, and the other one had a stern face and a fierce look. After being let in by Gu Qingyue, he sat directly on the sofa and looked around. The house was decorated very simply, even a little shabby. A large number of replaced quilts and clothes were piled up in the corners, giving the feeling of a temporary residence. However, there was a smell of oil in the air, giving a feeling of living a stable home in this doomsday.
"Mr. Cheng, I wonder if you have any advice for me that has brought you here so early in the morning?" Gu Qingji and Xu Sa had already gone to find Lin Jun and Zhang Xun's people as soon as possible. What Gu Qingyue had to do now was to delay time. He looked at the two of them and asked Cheng Ying.
"Uh..." Cheng Ying actually didn't want to come. After all, he was the one who experienced that incident personally. Others might think that he was exaggerating, but he himself knew the situation clearly. But this time, out of the eight battalions of the Military Shield, the five captains were missing, so he had no choice but to show up.
The man sitting on the sofa, without waiting for Cheng Ying to answer, glanced at Gu Qingyue with a haughty look and asked, "Where are my people?"
Gu Qingyue looked at Cheng Ying, "Who is this?"
"Our captain of the third Shield Team is Xu Xi," Cheng Ying introduced.
"Oh, hello," Gu Qingyue greeted lightly and asked, "Mr. Xu's family members are missing? If you can't find them, you should go to the base supervisor to ask. Why do you come to us to ask for them?"
Gu Qingyue looked at Cheng Ying in surprise and amusement, "If we were strangers to each other, I would have suspected that we had offended you in some way, and you are here to pick a fight."
"Everyone here knows the truth." Xu Xi ignored Gu Qingyue's words and went straight to the point, "Eight people from Jundun came to your place last night and have not returned yet."
Zhuang Mingxu, who was listening to Lu Weiyi's live broadcast inside, said to Lu Weiyi when he heard this man directly say it, "Go out and help Qingyue. In case a fight breaks out, the people outside may not be their match." After all, he specifically chose to come after six people from their team had gone out, which didn't seem like he had good intentions. And now Xu Sa and Gu Qingji had gone out to call for help. Besides Gu Qingyue, there were only three minors and a Xi Shi who basically couldn't fight.
Lu Weiyi nodded, looked at his liquid and saw that it would take a while, then left the bedroom.
After glancing at the two people on the sofa, Lu Weiyi sat on the single sofa next to Gu Qingyue with an expressionless face. Cheng Ying looked at Lu Weiyi and sat up a little straighter. Xu Xi had heard Cheng Ying say before that this man had extraordinary abilities, but what he said was so miraculous that Xu Xi did not take it seriously. Now seeing that the man was just a child, the last bit of fear in his heart disappeared.
Gu Qingyue felt relieved and continued to chat nonsense with others.
"Last night? No, we all went to bed very late last night, after nine o'clock." Gu Qingyue looked thoughtful, and after a while he suddenly said, "Oh, I remember now, there were people coming last night, but... not the eight you said, only two came, let me think about it..."
Gu Qingyue hesitated for a long time and seemed to remember, "They... one is called Zhang Qi, the other... the other is called something Yuan."
"Wang Yuan?" Cheng Ying asked.
"Yes, it's Wang Yuan," Gu Qingyue replied, looking at the two people sitting on the sofa at the same time. He saw Cheng Ying glanced at Xu Xi, but Xu Xi didn't react. Gu Qingyue continued, "But they seemed to say they were from their own police station, and now you say they are your people? Who of you is lying?"
"They are not our people..."
"You know who I'm talking about, don't act crazy here." Seeing that Gu Qingyue was not getting to the point, Xu Xi's tense face became even colder. Before Cheng Ying finished explaining, he interrupted him, and stood up in a flash. Without giving Gu Qingyue time to react, he grabbed Gu Qingyue.
Although Gu Qingyue had escaped death from zombies several times during this period, his reaction and skills had been trained, but compared with those who worked as bodyguards before the apocalypse, his reaction ability was far inferior. Not to mention that people with special abilities could also enhance their physical fitness. In this situation, it was impossible for him to dodge. Seeing that the man was about to grab Gu Qingyue, a hand came out of nowhere and blocked Xu Xi's arm.
"Are you going to take action?" Lu Weiyi looked up at Xu Xi expressionlessly.
Xu Xi didn't take them seriously at all. If last night was a covert attack, today was an open robbery. When he saw someone coming up, he didn't care who it was and immediately stretched out his other hand, trying to subdue Lu Weiyi first, and at the same time shouted to Cheng Ying, "Cheng Ying."
Before coming, Liu Qiang had specifically reminded them that if they could negotiate peace, they should do so and get the people out first. Otherwise, several team leaders were missing, and if he just took action regardless, it would be disadvantageous if they insisted on fighting to the death. But seeing this situation now, Cheng Ying was completely confused, but things had already happened and he had no room for more thought.
The first moment Gu Qingyue reacted, he immediately moved away from the three people on the sofa. Cheng Ying wanted to attack him, so he had to chase him a few steps forward. However, before he took two steps, he saw two young men coming out from behind Gu Qingyue, one of them holding a pistol in his hand. Their postures and movements were standard, and there was no uneasiness on their faces as if it was the first time holding a gun. It was obvious that they were experienced.
Even if he had super powers, he didn't want to face the bullet at this moment. He immediately raised his hands and took a step back. At the same time, he ignored what happened to the two people fighting behind him. But then he heard a "bang" and the sound of something hitting the ground came from the yard. Cheng Ying saw that the two people in front of him had no intention of shooting. He turned his head slightly and saw that the big guy who came with him had been thrown out and fell right at the feet of Zhang Qi and Wang Ning who opened the door.
"Hey, isn't this Xu Xi, the captain of the third military shield team? Hurry up and get up. We are a little uncomfortable with such a big gift so early in the morning." Zhang Qi said with a smile, but did not retreat or give way, looking at the embarrassed look of the person on the ground.
Xu Sa quickly ran in from behind the people who came in. Xu Sa stood in front of Lu Weiyi, looked at him, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head. Gu Qingji, who followed closely behind, glanced at him and walked quickly into the room.
