Chapter 365: Yin Jin Gives Birth
Li Zhuang used his supernatural power to "grab" a stick to block the constant attacks of supernatural power on Xu Yi, allowing him to concentrate more on treating the injured.
Seeing this scene, he looked up at Lu Weiyi and asked silently.
Zheng Junyi didn't understand what was happening yet and looked around more cautiously.
Then Lu Weiyi, who had been motionless since leaving the house, spoke up and said, "Have a meeting."
Lu Weiyi picked the only building standing in the surrounding area and collected all the vehicles. "Liu Rui and Xu Sa, defend."
"Received." The two waited for everyone to reach the third floor, and one person occupied a direction to observe the surrounding situation.
After everyone arrived, Lu Weiyi asked Zheng Jun and others about their last progress in supernatural powers.
After Zheng Jun talked about everyone's progress, he concluded, "Deputy Captain Li's training is very effective."
"There's still a long way to go." Lu Weiyi looked around, pointed at Wu Yue, and handed him a standard long knife of the team, "Go and kill a group of zombies at close range."
He led a few people to the bed without glass, and used his mental power to call a dozen zombies from a distance and gather them downstairs.
Wu Yue didn't know what he wanted to say, so he jumped into the yard alone with a long knife. As the zombies approached, Wu Yue wielded the long knife with great force and cut off half of the zombie's head with one blow. As the crystal core moved, the zombies fell to the ground and could not get up.
This was the best position that Lu Weiyi had told them from the beginning. It was harder to grasp than the neck, but it was more likely to kill the zombie with one blow.
Not everyone in the team will do this, but a few people will consciously train in this way and eventually form muscle memory. Wu Yue is one of them.
"He cuts very easily, why do I feel like I'm not on the same level as him?"
"Is it because of your great strength? It looks like cutting a watermelon. Is it really that easy?"
“Is the knife sharper?”
"It should be that his superpower level is higher. His superpower is more than one level higher than ours."
While several people were chattering, Lu Weiyi did not explain. He took out an identical knife again and asked who wanted to try it.
Zheng Jun took a look and was about to reach out to take it, but Cui Wen was one step faster and said with a smile, "Let me feel it."
"Be careful," Zheng Jun warned.
Cui Wen nodded and went down swiftly.
A dozen zombies were summoned again. Cui Wen was agile, but he was obviously not as decisive as Wu Yue in holding the knife. At first, he wanted to cut off half of the zombie's head like Wu Yue did, but the knife was embedded directly into the zombie's head when he chopped it down.
As he was pulling out, a zombie next to him was already attacking him. He quickly kicked hard and pulled the knife back to chop at the zombie next to him.
The unfamiliar skills, coupled with the constant attacks from all around, soon disrupted his own rhythm. In the end, he managed to kill a dozen zombies relying on his years of combat experience.
But compared to Wu Yue's ease and safety, his clothes were left with scratches from zombies, and even a corner of his clothes was torn. He was finally helped up by Wu Yue, panting.
"Deputy Captain Li, have I ever told you that to attack zombies at close range you need to attach supernatural powers to your weapons?" Lu Weiyi waited until they saw the difference before speaking.
Zheng Jun nodded, "Is this the reason for their gap?"
"Yes," Lu Weiyi said, "One problem with soldiers in combat is that the consciousness of fighting is ingrained in your bones. When you see your opponent, you can imagine many ways of fighting. This is your advantage, but it also makes it more difficult to incorporate superpowers into the mix, which instead becomes your disadvantage."
"Most zombies nowadays are no longer able to be injured by conventional weapons. You are still relying on the original method, which is time-consuming and laborious. Moreover, the most important point is that you are now leveling up, which does not consume superpowers, but purely consumes physical strength. How can you improve your superpowers?"
"Did you also train like this?" Cui Wen asked, straightening his clothes.
"Yes, but we have been familiar with this way of fighting earlier, more than a year ago. Now we will habitually use the supernatural power to our whole body whenever we make a move." Wu Yue responded while attaching the supernatural power to his hand. He clenched his fist and swung it at a half-collapsed wall. His fist directly pierced a hole in the two-claw-thick wall.
"Let me try." Zheng Jun stepped forward, carefully thought about the method Li Zhuang had told him before, slowly gathered his supernatural powers in his hands, and swung them vigorously in a circle next to Wu Yue's attack.
A very deep fist-shaped dent appeared on the wall. Zheng Jun calmly retracted his fist. When several comrades came forward and touched the fist-shaped dent with envy, he stood behind them, clenched his fist and grinned.
Lu Weiyi, who saw it out of the corner of his eye, was very considerate of Captain Zheng's face. He pretended that he saw nothing and explained, "The perception of superpower levels will also lead to differences in ability. In short, this is the method."
"For the next day, Captain Zheng and all his men gathered here to practice practical exercises and familiarize themselves with the application of superpowers."
Lu Weiyi took out the corresponding swords from the space and gave one to each of them. He asked Li Zhuang to look after them and took the other people to other places to continue collecting supplies.
From applying superpowers at close range in the beginning to practicing long-range attacks with superpowers later, Zheng's team had new tasks waiting for the opponent every day, and the team's raids gradually moved farther and farther away from the base.
**
In the base, Gu Qingji took over Li Dongsheng's task, and every day he led his wood-type mutants to continuously promote the growth of crops.
His level is slightly higher than Li Dongsheng, and with the help of the mutant vine, the effect of his growth is obviously stronger. The daily food harvest is much more than before, which also makes Zhuang Mingxu vaguely want to upgrade more wood-type mutants.
"That's possible. I asked them, and many of them who have wood-type abilities have reached the critical point of upgrading, but they don't have extra crystal cores to impact the upgrade, which prevents them from taking the final step." After hearing his thoughts, Gu Qingji told him the results of his recent investigation.
"However, after we help them upgrade, we will face another problem. What if they leave here and join another team? I heard that some teams below are poaching people from us." This is also what he is worried about.
Zhuang Mingxu pondered for a moment and said, "The psychics serving the base have signed a contract with the base from the beginning and cannot be transferred to other teams during their service period. We cannot afford the compensation, so we can let them sign a new contract."
Gu Qingji doubted whether contracts were useful in today's world.
"The base is ours, why are you breaking the contract with the person in power?" Zhuang Mingxu chuckled. As long as they keep the base firmly in their hands, not to mention individual psychics, even the small teams in the base will not target them.
"I've asked someone to assign a new contract in the next few days. You can show it to those who want to upgrade and continue to serve in the base. Count the number of people, and we'll..."
There was a rapid knock on the door, interrupting their conversation.
Before Gu Qingji could get up, the door was pushed open and Xi Shi's panicked face appeared at the door, "Mingxu, there was a message on the intercom saying that someone in the lab is about to give birth."
Zhuang Mingxu was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and ran to the backyard, reminding, "Hurry up and call Dean back, and tell him to come over quickly."
Gu Qingji and Xi Shi looked at each other, both confused.
At this time in the laboratory, Yin Jin had been placed on the operating table, sweat dripping from his forehead. He was holding the operating bed tightly with both hands, his veins were exposed, and his bulging belly was like a small hill. From time to time, one could see a child's little feet and fists.
Xiaomei, the nurse who usually takes care of him, was trying to comfort him. When she saw Zhuang Mingxu come in, she said anxiously, "The baby is premature, he's about to give birth."
"Hmm." Zhuang Mingxu walked forward and looked at the man on the bed who had bitten his lower lip. Perhaps he had once imagined having a child with Lu Weiyi, so he couldn't help but be moved seeing him like this. "All the surgical supplies are ready, and the healing psychic will be here soon. You will be fine."
"Uh...um!" Yin Jin suppressed a groan and said to the person in front of him, "Lu Weiyi promised, promised me..."
"I know that if your delivery goes smoothly, you can go to live on the island," Zhuang Mingxu answered the question he had not asked.
With this assurance, Yin Jin felt completely relieved and focused entirely on her stomach. After a while, several doctors in surgical gowns came in and quickly set up the room into a simple operating room.
Zhuang Mingxu looked inside through the transparent glass and could clearly see that not long after the anesthetic was injected, the doctor took the scalpel and cut open his bulging belly.
"Zhuang!" Dean's voice came from the end of the corridor, followed by Antonio.
He pushed the person directly towards the operating room door and said, "Come in and help. I leave it to you."
"Don't worry." The door of the operating room was pushed open a little, and the deafening cry of the child came out.
Antonio looked at it in surprise, with a rareness of gentleness on his face, "It's amazing."
"Yes, it's the continuation of life," Zhuang Mingxu deeply understands.
The operation was carried out extremely quickly. All of them were experienced doctors, and with the help of Dean, the child was taken out. Then their supernatural powers were used, and not even any external injuries were left.
The cleaned child was shown to Yin Jin for a glance, and then was carried out by the doctor. Dean followed the doctor's steps and came over to look at the baby.
"It's a boy. Does he need further physical examination?" Li Wenliang asked carefully while holding the child.
"Do." Zhuang Mingxu leaned closer to the cradle and took a look. The wrinkled baby's eyes were narrowed into a slit, and his black hair was tangled on his head, making him look ugly.
"Little monkey," Dean commented, reaching out to carefully poke his cheek, and exclaimed in surprise, "It's so soft."
The three people were surprised for a while and asked the doctor to take him for examination. In the operating room, Yin Jin had fallen asleep under the effect of anesthesia.
"Ask the kitchen to prepare nutritious meals according to the standards of confinement meals. Report anything you need. Also pay attention to the child's superpowers and ask Zhuang Mobai to cooperate in superpower tests." After giving some instructions, Zhuang Mingxu looked at Li Wenliang.
