Chapter 878 Cooperation
"You just killed one more than a month ago," Qin Jin exposed his nonsense.
Lu Xiao chuckled twice and said, "No one would complain that it's too much."
"The crystal core of the mutant giant tree belongs to you, but I must get the crystal core of the zombie," Qin Jin said, looking at Ning Yuan who was silent, "This is very important for my advancement of supernatural powers."
Ning Yuan scratched his head and looked at Lu Weiyi, only to see that Lu Weiyi was still with his head down, adding details to the painting in front of him, with no intention of participating at all.
Even though he knew it was inappropriate to speak, he still looked at Lu Xiao hesitantly.
Fortunately, Lu Xiao didn't wait for him to speak, "Okay, what about the remaining zombie crystal cores?"
According to Qin Jin's previous estimation, the zombies here were most likely SSS level, so he took the crystal core and let Lu Weiyi take away the rest of the low-level ones.
The zombie teams do not trust each other as much as the psychics do. He has to control the abilities of Cheng Qi and the others so that they do not exceed his own, and also try his best to prevent them from being too low and dragging down the team's strength, so he did not think about helping them.
But after seeing the level of the zombies under his command, Qin Jin was a little shaken. Those SS-level zombie crystal cores would also be a huge amount of energy in his hands.
Just as I was thinking about what to say, I heard Lu Xiao say, "How about this, let's not talk about which crystal core belongs to whom, how about we just make a deal?"
"What?"
Lu Xiao took out a special metal box from the space. After opening it, a black crystal core was revealed inside. It was exactly the same as the two that Lu Weiyi had given him to replenish his energy.
"You should have used this before, and the effect should be good. The purification crystal core of our base purifies the zombie energy in the crystal core and uses the retained energy, and what is included here is the extracted zombie energy."
"Compared to when you absorbed the zombie crystal core and were injured by the energy of the mutant inside, this should be purer."
Hearing him say this, Lu Weiyi couldn't help but look up. Although he really wanted to say that after reaching the SSS level, the body can automatically eliminate energy that is not suitable for itself, but thinking of the countless benefits that his negotiation results will bring to his subordinates, he silently put the drawing into the space, passed it to Zhuang Mingxu, and scolded him by the way.
"So, what does Major General Lu mean?"
"Why don't we cooperate with each other and give all the crystal cores we get to our base for extraction? Then we will give you the zombie energy inside, and we will extract and use the energy of the superpowers that you don't need. How about that?"
"This is specially prepared for me," Qin Jin laughed, "Zhuang Mingxu really doesn't want to miss anything."
"This is the plan that Mingxu asked the research institute to adjust after he heard about your situation." Ning Yuan was afraid that Qin Jin would think that Zhuang Mingxu was targeting him, so he took the initiative to say something good. "He thinks that the sources of crystal cores outside nowadays, animal crystal cores and plant crystal cores are purer, and you may not be able to absorb them. If it's only zombie crystal cores, the psychics will also compete with you for them, so what you can get will be very little. That's why he is thinking about whether they can cooperate with each other."
"Moreover, the base is under our control, and we will definitely not harm you in this regard." Ning Yuan spared no effort, but in front of Qin Jin, who was as steady as an old dog, he always felt like a kindergarten kid defending himself in front of an adult.
"I didn't say I disagree, it's just that this thing is not very tempting for someone at my level." He raised his chin towards Lu Weiyi, "You ask him."
The two people who originally thought it was a win-win situation looked at Lu Weiyi at the same time. Lu Weiyi stopped writing the curse words about Zhuang Mingxu, looked up at the two of them and sighed. He had thought that Zhuang Mingxu made this thing for Qin Jin's sake, but he didn't expect that there was a deeper ulterior motive. "The SSS level can eliminate unnecessary energy in the body. I should have made it very clear when I talked about the upgrade before. After the upgrade, the energy in the body will be very pure."
"That is to say, even if I absorb the zombie crystal core, my body will automatically eliminate the zombie energy in the crystal core. He..." Lu Weiyi turned his head and pointed at Qin Jin, "It should be the same."
Seeing the two people's expressions of disappointment, Lu Weiyi looked at the calm Qin Jin, "The energy contained in this crystal core is much higher than that of ordinary crystal cores. Are you sure you don't want to cooperate?"
"..." Qin Jin.
He felt that Lu Weiyi was simply everyone's nemesis, so he couldn't stand against him and pretend to be cool.
He gritted his teeth, and the creaking sound made Ning Yuan and Lu Xiao couldn't help but laugh.
"Has anyone ever told you that you're particularly unlovable when you're not autistic?" Qin Jin said word by word.
Lu Weiyi thought about it seriously and shook his head, "No."
Finally, he added, "Even if there is, no one dares to say it."
"Well now I say it."
Lu Weiyi took the note of apology from Zhuang Mingxu in his hand. It felt like passing notes during his school days. When he saw the words of apology written in a strong pen, Lu Weiyi's mood suddenly became particularly good. He shrugged at Qin Jin, stood up and snorted, "Who cares what you say."
Looking at his leisurely back and Qin Jin's dark complexion, Ning Yuan clapped his hands on the table and laughed. Lu Xiao couldn't help but curl his lips.
The originally formal atmosphere suddenly became a lot more relaxed, and people on both sides began to be frank, and finally reached an agreement half an hour later. Not only this time, but they can even conduct transactions on crystal cores in the future.
When night fell, Lu Xiao had already arranged a clear battle plan. After dinner, he divided the team into groups, and everyone in the team set out together.
"The level of zombies over there is very high. If you don't want to go, just stay here." Before leaving, Qin Jin rarely said to Cheng Qi and the others.
They will dig out the crystal cores of other zombies, and other zombies will also regard them as prey. They are creatures without any values or so-called moral constraints.
Yu Li looked at Xu Xiao first. He really wanted to go and take a look. According to his current level, if he absorbed a few more zombie crystal cores of the same level, he might be able to upgrade to the next level.
But since Xu Xiao was with him, he also needed to make sure she didn't become someone else's prey. He hesitated for a while, "Yes... everyone... going?" He looked at the larger team of psychics.
Even though many people in the team knew that they were zombies, they were still somewhat curious at this moment. The looks they gave him contained a little malice, but there was some malice as well.
"No, the psychics who are not good at fighting will not go this time," Lu Xiao shouted to Cong Qing who followed him. Cong Qing turned his head and responded, then found that everything was fine, and turned back to do his own thing, "That is the person in charge this time."
"Can you help me keep an eye on her?" Yu Li pointed at Xu Xiao.
Lu Xiao did not agree immediately. Not every human can coexist peacefully with zombies. Some of them kill zombies, but some of their relatives have turned into zombies and been killed by others. What's worse, many people have seen their loved ones being injured by zombies with their own eyes.
So their feelings towards zombies are very complicated, some people know that they are innocent, but some also attack every zombie indiscriminately.
"Okay," Lu Weiyi, who heard the noise, responded from afar.
However, Yu Li was not reassured by this brief response. He looked at Lu Weiyi stubbornly and said, "I want you to ensure her safety."
Although Yu Li and Xu Xiao's presence in the team has always been low, they, the zombies, spared no effort to help clean up the attacks of mutant animals brought by Lu Weiyi, the human, along the way. Otherwise, Lu Weiyi would probably have no time to rest in peace if he were alone.
"I promise," Lu Weiyi responded, and then he found that Lu Xiao touched him silently. Lu Weiyi smiled at him and casually swept his eyes over the group of people who stayed behind. "Yuebanwan implements the collective responsibility system. If one person makes a mistake, the whole family will be punished. If one person misbehaves, the whole team will be expelled. Those who want to disobey me had better think clearly about the consequences."
There was silence all around. These words reminded them of what happened recently in the base. The faces of those who were dissatisfied turned ugly. However, those teams that originally belonged to Yueban Bay did not react at all. They had long been accustomed to the style of the base leaders who were gentle and kind at ordinary times, but ruthless and cruel at critical moments.
Lu Weiyi looked at Qin Jin. They were the first two to set out in the team. Only if they attracted the attention of the mutant giant tree first would it be possible for the people who stayed behind to avoid being attacked.
Qin Jin looked at Cheng Qi and his group. They all decided to set off with the team. He didn't give any further instructions and followed Lu Weiyi to leave in the direction of yesterday.
The team behind them followed them at almost the same time, divided into small teams.
Yu Li looked around and walked towards Cong Qing, handing Xu Xiao to him, "I... will come back to ask you for it."
"You little brat, you've got your eyes on me." Cong Qing looked at Xu Xiao who was swallowing her saliva at him and was a little speechless, "She won't want to bite me, will she?"
"She can't bite you," Yu Li said seriously.
After all, the purpose of bringing these people for the first time was to gather information and find out the other party's background. There were only a handful of people with supernatural powers below A-level, let alone those at Xu Xiao's level.
In their eyes, Xu Xiao might be something that could be easily solved.
Seeing him admit it so frankly, Cong Qing became even more speechless, "I tried my best to protect her."
After getting Xu Xiao's promise, Yu Li quickly left with Cheng Qi.
Xu Xiao stared blankly at the direction where Yu Li left, as if he couldn't believe it, and then he chased in the direction the other person left. When Cong Qing discovered him, he hurried to try to stop him, but Xu Xiao was like a lioness who had been violated, and showed her ferocious side.
She bared her teeth and stretched out her claws towards Cong Qing ferociously, waving her black nails. Even if the opponent was of low level, no one was willing to be hit by her.
Someone in the crowd created a mutant plant that tied Xu Xiao up directly. Without anyone attacking her, she fell to the ground because she was tied into a cocoon and her movements were affected. She couldn't stand up anymore.
Cong Qing walked forward, picked up the plant vine on her body, put her in the corner, and reminded her in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "You have heard what the base commander said, and you are also aware of what has happened in some teams recently. It is best not to do things that you should not do."
"Besides," he glanced at the zombies tied up in the corner who were trying to tear the vines with their teeth, "if they had a choice, they wouldn't want to become zombies, so don't punish them with their misfortune."
