Chapter 881 Thoughts
After a short rest, several people immediately took the time to hold a meeting. Before they came back, Lu Xiao had asked other people who had returned earlier to report the situation and waited for them to come back.
"This is the terrain they explored," Lu Xiao placed a hand-drawn picture in front of the two of them, "Our speed-type psychic made a circle inside the entire city."
"All zombies live in the mutant city. They are controlled by that zombie and rarely leave the city, just like..."
"I'd rather die there," Qin Jin added.
"Yes." Lu Xiao looked at him with silent questioning in his eyes.
Qin Jin shook his head and said, "I noticed it too."
He could control the zombies inside, but he couldn't control them to leave. "When Lu Weiyi and I left, we wanted to control a few zombies to follow us and hold off a little, but we couldn't get them out of this range at all."
"It's a mutated banyan tree." Lu Weiyi pinched his eyebrows, "I saw his memory."
"The zombie's name is Wei Minglang. He was a resident of this city before the end of the world. His family was from a wealthy family here."
Qin Jin and Ning Yuan signaled him with their eyes to elaborate, perhaps they knew each other.
"It's the Wei family. The most famous company in their family is called..." Lu Weiyi selected from the memories he had discovered.
"Extremely prosperous," Qin Jin added.
"right".
Qin Jin and Ning Yuan looked at each other. Ning Yuan thought carefully and said, "The Wei family has few descendants. The previous generation had only two sons. One of the two sons died early, and the other seemed to have a daughter who is now over 30 years old. I haven't heard of a son in his twenties..."
"Could it be a side branch?" Lu Xiao asked.
"I seem to have heard something that the head of the Wei family and his lover have been classmates since childhood. They can be considered childhood sweethearts, but the living standards of the two families are too different. However, the head of the Wei family still married her despite all odds, and not long after the marriage, they had a daughter."
"But this kind of family favors boys over girls and needs a son to inherit the family business. Mrs. Wei was in poor health, but she couldn't bear to see her lover being pressured by the family elders, so she had a second child. As a result, she died during childbirth. After that, there was no news about the young master of the Wei family. Some people said that such a person existed, while others said that he died at that time."
"Survived" Lu Weiyi didn't know what to say.
Wei's father had a very good relationship with his wife. After his wife passed away, he transferred all his hatred to his youngest son.
"Shouldn't we love the bloodline left by our wife more? For example, the two girls left by Lin Minghong, they are cherished in their hearts." Ning Yuan saw Qin Jin looking at him and talked about what happened when they passed through Anjiang City. "After the two girls were rescued, Mayor Lin cleaned up the base that night. All those forces were thrown into the laboratory, and we were given an injection that can suppress the superpowers of those with superpowers."
"It was only the second year of the apocalypse, and we were still floating in the wild, but people had already researched that thing. Later, in the battle with Gu Sheng, it was that thing that played a role." Ning Yuan sighed, "The gift was so heavy, doesn't it also indirectly show the importance of the two girls to him?"
However, Qin Jin and Lu Xiao's focus was no longer there. They both looked at Lu Weiyi at the same time, "Do you have any more medicine?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head, "There is only one, and... it shouldn't work on Wei Minglang."
For those who have successfully upgraded to SSS, their energy and body are completely indistinguishable, and most medicines have lost their effect. Lu Weiyi has a deep understanding of this. Since he successfully upgraded, except for occasional injuries or discomfort caused by the exhaustion of his superpowers, he has not been sick once.
The three of them all had regretful looks on their faces. Lu Weiyi continued what he said before, "When Wei's father is normal, he loves Wei Minglang very much and gives him everything he deserves. However, once he drinks, he will beat him to death and resent him for killing his lover."
"No one in the Wei family dared to provoke Wei Minglang, so they could only persuade Wei Minglang as a bystander, saying that he killed his mother and should be considerate of his father. When Wei's father was awake, he would hug him and cry and apologize, and then continue next time."
Wei Minglang grew up in such an environment until he was 20 years old. After the end of the world, Wei Minglang was one of the first people to awaken his superpowers. Perhaps it was because he had been tortured by his father for many years, he survived the heavy snow's cleansing of those with superpowers, and his superpowers became stronger and stronger, and he gradually became the blessing of the Wei family.
However, this kind of growth eventually aroused the jealousy of his elder sister. After she had tried to gain benefits from him and harmed her younger brother several times, Wei's father would always say that they were a family and there was no need to be petty.
Later, in a zombie attack, the sister's team used them as stepping stones and the entire team was wiped out.
"Wei Minglang already had S-level superpowers at that time. According to that timeline, his progress in superpower advancement is actually similar to mine," Lu Weiyi sighed. There are always people better than you. He relied on the conditions of his rebirth to reach his current level, while others could actually get ahead of him just by relying on themselves.
Years of excessive use of crystal cores made him realize that he was actually unable to pass the level of further upgrading. Even everyone knew it, so they hoped to benefit the family as much as possible while they were alive.
"But many people didn't even want him to live to see that day. During his transformation from a mutant to a zombie, his sister said some provocative words to him, which maximized his anger and resentment. This allowed him to retain consciousness."
"No wonder he showed such strong disgust when he found out that I was working with you."
Lu Weiyi shook his head, "After he successfully transformed, he quietly returned to the base once, wanting to see the residents of the base he was protecting. Unfortunately, no one felt sorry for him. He only saw everyone complaining that he died at the wrong time, as it was about to winter and zombies might attack."
"Fuck, what a piece of shit," Ning Yuan cursed.
"After that, he called on the zombies to attack the entire base in the winter and did not let anyone leave." Such things are common in a peaceful society, and they are nothing new nowadays. Lu Weiyi continued, "He accidentally contracted the mutated banyan tree when he awakened at the beginning of the apocalypse. After he became a zombie, he was able to destroy the city with the help of the mutated banyan tree."
"After the base was destroyed, all the zombies became providers of crystal cores for the mutated banyan tree. They were the corpses under the tree with banyan branches and leaves piercing their heads, including all the members of the Wei family."
"The reason why zombies are not allowed to leave the city is because plants seem unable to transform into zombies. Its zombie transformation is influenced by Wei Minglang. It shares a part of his zombie energy and suppresses the characteristics of its own mutated plants. Only in this way can their contract continue to be maintained."
“So, if he is not suppressed, he will most likely show a level stronger than you and me,” Qin Jin said directly to the point.
Although Lu Weiyi didn't want to admit it, he had to nod and said, "He is indeed the chosen zombie king. I saw from his memory that his body's absorption rate of crystal cores is very high. This is the key reason for his rapid promotion."
"The last person like this I met was Qin Nian."
"?" Qin Jin looked over suddenly.
Lu Weiyi nodded, "Qin Nian's body seems to be naturally receptive to energy. His absorption rate of crystal cores is about the same as mine now. I'm worried that this will continue to have an impact on his body. Over the years, he has been wearing a power blocker almost all the time to suppress his power. Even so, his level has reached A-level."
This was the first time Qin Jin heard such news. He stood up suddenly, with worry on his face. "Didn't you ask someone to check it out? Aren't there a lot of scientific researchers in your base?"
I don't know what he thought of, his eyes suddenly turned cold, "Are you..."
"Qin Jin!" Ning Yuan spoke harshly, interrupting what he was about to say next.
Qin Jin said sorry and wanted to ask something but was interrupted by Ning Yuan, "Let's talk about what's happening at hand first."
Lu Weiyi looked at him calmly and brought the topic back to the topic. "I saw the color of the energy body of the mutant plant that belongs to the energy body of the superpower, so I inferred that if the mutant banyan tree is stripped of the zombie energy, it is very likely to show a normal energy body. I just don't know what the contract between it and the zombies will be like at that time..."
"Excuse me, what color is a normal energy body?" Ning Yuan interrupted, and Lu Xiao also looked over.
"I can't say it's a normal color. The color of my energy body is golden like the warm sun. I'll take you to see it next time. Zhuang Mingxu said after seeing it that it was a... very sacred feeling." He glanced at Qin Jin who was obviously distracted. "His is black, as thick and inky black as the abyss."
"The contrast gives people an illusion of light and darkness."
"In that case, if we can separate their contracts..." As soon as Ning Yuan said this, he felt that it was impossible to achieve. There has never been a situation where a wood-type mutant has come into contact with a contracted plant. Even the master cannot control it, let alone them.
"Then separate the attacks." Lu Xiao took out the sorted data again and marked the weapons that could cause damage. "Liu Rui said that they have been able to cause damage to some of the mutated banyan trees today. With the help of these instruments, it should be easier."
"I'll ask Zhuang Mingxu to mobilize them," Lu Weiyi said as he transferred the paper into the space. Only then did he realize that there was an open book on the table that seemed to be for him.
He took it out and took a look. The name of the book was "Ocean Atlas". There were colorful pictures of all kinds of strange and bizarre marine animals in it. The page he opened was a small animal that looked pretty. Before Lu Weiyi could react, a piece of paper fell down. On it was a printout of the picture he had drawn, and Zhuang Mingxu's handwriting was clear on it. [Some people say it looks very similar to this, you can see if it is true].
"Is that energy body you see this thing?" Lu Weiyi said as he looked at the introduction above. "It's a little lamb sea slug with small eyes, tentacles, and a shell on its back. It can carry out photosynthesis. It lives in the waters of the Moon Country and feeds on grass..."
Lu Weiyi passed the book to Qin Jin beside him. Ning Yuan and Lu Xiao leaned over to take a look, and saw a colorful picture of a cute little creature with black tentacles and a pair of black eyes on its white face. Its seaweed-like skin was emerald green with a little pink on the top, which looked particularly beautiful.
"Quite similar."
"Is it this cute?"
"I've never heard of this species." Ning Yuan looked at the two people in front of him, "What are the requirements for animals that become energy bodies?"
"I..." Lu Weiyi recalled, "I was unconscious at the time, and Zhuang Mingxu kept describing to me how beautiful a mutant peacock he saw was. I pictured that scene in my mind, but I have no idea how it was finally formed, it was just... a feeling."
"I'm almost there," Qin Jin said, "When I encountered a pack of wolves in the wild, I felt that the wolf king was very majestic."
"I don't know how Wei Minglang could have such a thing." Ning Yuan continued to read, "It doesn't say anything about aggressiveness, and it looks like this weak thing doesn't seem to be very aggressive. Did you notice anything?"
"Not very aggressive," Qin Jin said.
Seeing that the two had no more information to add, Lu Xiao motioned for them to go back and rest. "After I summarize the information, I will formulate a corresponding combat plan. Feel free to contact me for anything you think of."
Lu Weiyi went out to ask Cong Qing, and found out that there were no problems with the people left behind, so he went back to his room to rest with peace of mind.
After everyone left, Ning Yuan said to Qin Jin with a serious face, "Let's talk."
Lu Xiao glanced at the backs of the two people leaving, and continued to lower his head to practice the most appropriate combat plan on the sand table built on the side.
Ning Yuan led Qin Jin out and left the temporary resting place. Then he spoke, "Qin Nian was left as an experimental subject. You should have known that, right?"
Qin Jin nodded, his eyes turning cold.
"He lived in the laboratory before he was born. After a full moon, Lu Weiyi gave Yin Jin a choice: either he could move freely with a controller, or he would live in the laboratory forever and never see the light of day." Without waiting for Qin Jin to react, Ning Yuan continued, "He is the only naturally born mutant. We can't give him to any base for research. You should understand."
Qin Jin gritted his teeth, intellectually he knew it was right, but when the other party was his relative, no one could accept it emotionally, "They wore it."
After he finished speaking, he thought of something and said, "Nian Nian wore it."
For Yin Jin, Qin Nian is the weak spot, and this is the weakness that controls Yin Jin.
"Yes." Ever since Ning Yuan was told by Zhuang Mingxu, he had been thinking about taking time to explain things to Qin Jin. Wu Yue was not good at talking about these things, and Zhuang Mingxu was in a high position, so it would be easy for him to have other connotations when he spoke out. On the contrary, he was the most suitable candidate.
"He was just... just born, how dare you..." Qin Jin's face turned ferocious. He could clearly see the zombie energy flowing through his body. Because of the energy depletion from a busy night, his self-control was also out of control.
Ning Yuan lowered his eyes and smiled, then quickly punched him. The defenseless Qin Jin was knocked to the ground by the punch, "Hasn't your hands been stained with a child's blood?"
