Chapter 89: Serving the People
Lin Jun thought for a moment and said, "I'll exchange it first. If the beads come back tomorrow, can I exchange them for supplies?" Before Lu Weiyi could speak, he quickly added, "It's still today's price."
"Sure," Lu Weiyi replied.
Lin Junshen nodded and said, "I hope others will hear that the water was exchanged from you." Things like guns must always be used as secret weapons to achieve unexpected results.
Lu Weiyi nodded.
Although the conditions were agreed upon, the price was not small. Lin Jun no longer had any intention of saying hello. He just said "goodbye" and turned to walk out.
"Do you think he believes it?" Li Zhuang said to Lu Weiyi with helplessness on his face.
"Believe it or not, they will ambush us. If you come back alive, I will give each of you several hundred kilograms." Lu Weiyi walked in in a very good mood.
"There's no need to divide it, just support me," Li Zhuang said with a smile, like a fox.
"You're ugly but you have beautiful thoughts," Lu Weiyi said sarcastically, then turned around and went back to look at the new jade he had acquired.
The quality of this batch of jade is top-notch. The vibration caused by the space is not small, and the time is several times longer than before. When the vibration disappeared, Lu Weiyi took a look and found that the original cracks inside had been repaired by about half, and the size had increased several times. The original materials seemed to be stacked sparsely.
Not knowing when Lin Jun would come to deliver the supplies, and expecting Zhang Xun and Liu Qiang to come, Lu Weiyi was discussing with Zhuang Mingxu how to find an excuse to put away some of the supplies at home when Gu Qingyue took over the conversation.
"Weiyi, if Lin Jun and Zhang Xun both exchange things, where should the supplies be placed when they are delivered?"
"I have been striving to upgrade my superpowers, and they have expanded a little. I will collect some of them later and work on it at night. I should be able to get almost everything back by tomorrow." These words were false after all. After Lu Weiyi finished speaking, he turned to look at several superpower users without waiting for others to ask further questions and said, "My wood-type superpowers have been upgraded."
As soon as they heard that his superpower had been upgraded, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it. Suddenly, no one paid attention to the matter of space anymore, and everyone immediately asked him to demonstrate it.
Lu Weiyi manipulated the small green branch to meander around the few people, then retracted it. "For now, I can only sense the change in the length of the path. I need to explore other abilities. How are your abilities?"
Antonio stretched out his hand and swung out two eyebrow-trimming blades. They quickly circled around the few people, flew a little further away, and fell to the ground. Antonio shrugged his shoulders, took a few steps towards the flying knives, stretched out his hand to call them back, and said, "It's only this far."
It was about three meters tall. Everyone's ability at each level was different. Even if they were abilities of the same type, Lu Weiyi didn't know what level he was at, so he asked, "Do you feel like upgrading?"
Antonio shook his head, his fierce and bandit-like face was a little confused, "What do you feel?"
"...that's it." Lu Weiyi thought about it and couldn't describe it. "I can't explain it clearly. Anyway, you will know it when the time comes." He turned to look at Li Zhuang.
"Is it... very tight... tight?" Liu Rui frowned and racked his brains to think of how to describe it, but he didn't know how to express it. He stretched out a fist and kept exerting force to open it slightly, as if something was stretching it.
Lu Weiyi's eyes lit up and he nodded. There was a kind of invisible supernatural power spreading throughout his body, and he felt a slight swelling all over. But as the supernatural power was consumed, the feeling would disappear again. As the supernatural power was restored, this would repeat until the upgrade was complete.
However, even with this feeling, there is still some distance to go before a real upgrade. It's like a plastic bag of water. If the water wants to burst the plastic bag, it needs to keep squeezing it, first squeezing the plastic bag into thinner, and then it can break.
"That means it's almost there. You still need to continue practicing," Lu Weiyi said, looking at Li Zhuang and raising his chin.
Li Zhuang shook his head and said, "It can control the movement of some earth-related things, and the distance is about two meters."
Lu Weiyi looked at Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan suddenly had the illusion of being a primary school student being checked on his homework. He took a mineral water bottle and manipulated his supernatural powers. Invisible energy entered the bottle and gradually gathered into water. When the bottle was about half full, Ning Yuan's face gradually turned pale.
"Water-based abilities can turn into ice, like Wang Ning did, and directly attack people with ice needles. You can also use a drop of water to accelerate the attack, or turn it into an ice shield or water shield for defense. It's not just for draining water," Lu Weiyi reminded Ning Yuan.
"Isn't Wang Ning an ice-type ability?" Ning Yuan had secretly inquired about Wang Ning's abilities after seeing his ice needles before, but many people privately said that he had ice-type abilities.
"Isn't ice water?" Lu Weiyi asked back, "It can just change its shape, just like he can use a blade to manipulate a dagger and even open a lock." He pointed at Antonio who was whispering to Liu Rui over there.
Ning Yuan thought about it and nodded, "I'll try it."
"Well, it's up to you to drink water from now on." Lu Weiyi gave a very important task.
"What?" Ning Yuan exclaimed, holding the half bottle of water, "What? Wei Yi, you didn't change all the water, did you?"
"Not yet," Lu Weiyi replied, "but you have to be aware of this, after all, water is a consumable." After a heavy snowfall, the two most common types of psychics are water and wood. The water use of large bases does rely on water psychics, which also leads to many water psychics only thinking that they can release water and have no combat effectiveness at all.
Leaving Ning Yuan to consume this information, Lu Weiyi took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was no longer on him and quietly collected all the things in the living room. He originally wanted to collect the things in the yard directly, but Zhuang Mingxu said that he was worried that someone was watching them, so he had to collect the things in the living room and have someone move the things in the yard back.
As soon as they finished moving here, someone sent Lin Jun's things over there. The few of them didn't even have time to eat and ran to count the supplies.
Four pistols, each weighing several thousand pounds, but in fact they are not that much. Lin Jun sent mainly flour, rice and instant food. There were 3,000 kilograms of rice and flour, all in 50-kilogram bags, a total of 60 bags; 1,200 kilograms of instant noodles were only 160 boxes, and the rest were bread and biscuits of various flavors, totaling 1,500 kilograms.
There were no loose items, and the handover was completed on both sides in less than ten minutes. Lu Weiyi readily handed over the pistol, probably to conceal his whereabouts. Lin Fei took a walk around the villa before taking his men away.
All the things were moved into the villa and I thought I could have a nice meal, but Zhang Xun showed up with his people.
This time he came in person, bringing Zhang Qi and Wang Yuan with him. All three of them were dressed in police uniforms, and their spirits improved a lot. As soon as he entered the living room, he immediately greeted Zhuang Mingxu, then looked at Lu Weiyi and said, "This must be Young Master Lu, I've heard of your name for a long time. It's true that a hero emerges from a young age."
Lu Weiyi didn't know him before the end of the world, and Brother Xi had already prepared the meal. After the meal, Zhuang Mingxu had to hurry up to get an IV. It was unknown when Liu Qiang, the military shield's men would arrive, and who knew what the situation would be like by then. At this moment, he had no intention of greeting him at all.
"Hello." Lu Weiyi nodded at him and went straight to the point, "Are you here to change the water?"
Having been in the officialdom for a long time, Zhang Xun was accustomed to the three-point greetings before doing things. At this time, Lu Weiyi's direct words made Zhang Xun stunned for a moment, but it was fleeting. He smiled and said, "Yes, there is a shortage of water everywhere now. I heard that you have extra water here, and I also wanted to exchange some for my brothers to save. I wonder how much water you have?" Zhang Xun looked around, paying attention to everyone's expression.
"How much do you want to exchange?" It seemed that Lu Weiyi had the final say. Zhang Xun understood and directed his next words directly to Lu Weiyi.
"I definitely want it all," Zhang Xun said bluntly, and said righteously, "We police officers aided society and people immediately after the earthquake. Countless people sacrificed their lives to rescue the buried people. Later, the zombies broke out, and we put in a lot of effort to build this safe base. I should serve the people in this police uniform, but while I am on the front line, I also hope to give them the most basic guarantees in life."
These words were enough to win the hearts of any of his subordinates, especially when Zhang Xun brought up the principle that the police should serve the people. Several people who also came from the military were also educated to serve the people. Zhuang Mingxu knew what he was planning as soon as he heard it, but he had no say among the group of people, so he could only signal Lu Weiyi beside him with his eyes not to be fooled.
However, Lu Weiyi didn't get his hint at all. He nodded seriously and said, "Yeah, it's my duty."
Zhang Xun, who was recognized, then had a sad face. "I wanted to give them a good life, but building the base took too much manpower, material resources and time. When we turned around to search for supplies, the surrounding supplies had been searched out, and the supplies we had were also..."
Lu Weiyi could already smell the aroma of food, and Zhuang Aiyi, who was sitting next to him, made an inopportune stomach growl. However, Zhuang Aiyi just wouldn't get back to the point and said impatiently, "Excuse me, are you going to change the water or not? We've been busy all day and are in a hurry to eat."
Zhang Xun had nothing to say next, so he turned to look at other people, probably wanting to see if there was any external aid, but everyone was either talking in groups of three or four, or closing their eyes to recuperate, or looking up at the ceiling. Even Lin Yimu, who had agreed with him just now, turned sideways and said something to Ning Yuan beside him, as if he didn't pay attention to this side. Zhang Xun knew that no matter how much preparation he made, it would be useless, so he simply said, "Change, but I don't have many supplies, can..."
"Then change less, maybe there won't be a shortage of water tomorrow." After Lu Weiyi finished speaking, he stood up and pulled Zhuang Aiyi up, and said to Ning Yuan in a light tone, "You talk to Director Zhang, I'll take Aiyi to eat something first, children can't stand hunger."
"Okay." Ning Yuan came over with a smile and sat in the seat where Lu Weiyi had just sat, looking at Zhang Xun, "Director Zhang, don't listen to him. Water will only become more scarce. It's definitely not wrong to store more water..."
