Chapter 800 Controlling Zombies
"Sure," Hua Rui said without any hesitation, "As long as I can live a normal life, I'm willing to do it even if I don't have any super powers."
When Lu Weiyi heard her say this, his gaze stayed on the location of her crystal core for a moment.
If he wanted to make someone lose their superpowers, he could do it, but at this level...
Glancing at the parts of her body that had been changed by energy, he wondered what would happen to the supernatural powers that had been scattered and integrated into her body after they were completely lost.
Zhao Gang and Wang Bing had the same idea, but Wang Xi was different. He asked directly, "Since the research institute can study this aspect, can they also think of a way for us to upgrade?"
In such an unstable world, he prefers powerful supernatural powers as a guarantee.
"I... now that we have upgraded, we can provide better services to the base."
These words coming from the mouth of Wang Xi, a stubborn man, surprised the others, let alone Lu Weiyi.
He raised an eyebrow and nodded, "I'll go ask, but I can't guarantee the results."
Wang Xi nodded immediately, and reminded, "More than a hundred SS-level psychics will be an explosive presence no matter which base it is."
"If there are so many SSS psychics, they will definitely be able to dominate every base."
These words were almost like putting one's own value in front of others, which made several people feel ashamed. Lu Weiyi directly exposed it, "Don't be so optimistic. People have good and bad talents. Even if given the same resources, not everyone can upgrade."
Just like the base troops can now clearly distinguish the high ground.
Some things just can't be achieved by hard work alone.
"..." Wang Xi gritted his teeth. He really wanted to say something back, but since he had to ask someone for help, he could only turn his face away and pretend to be ignored.
With Lu Weiyi's assurance, the mood of several people was relieved a lot, and they had the motivation to continue learning. After all, in today's world, learning a little more may save your life at any time. What's more, if someone teaches you without reservation, it would be stupid to miss it.
He lost all desire to sleep and immediately looked for the corresponding psychic to discuss the matter.
After turning around twice and finding no danger around him, Lu Weiyi sat on the eaves with his legs swinging, looking up at the bright starry sky above his head.
Various disasters continued to occur, but there was nothing unusual in the sky, the stars were still shining, and the insignificance of human beings seemed even more insignificant.
"Lu Xiaoyi, don't stay in such a dangerous place. A mutant bird can drag you away if it comes over," came Xu Sa's low voice of warning.
"I got it." Lu Weiyi said this, but he didn't move, and even lay directly on the ground with his upper body.
"Hurry up, don't force me to go over," Xu Sa threatened.
Lu Weiyi pursed his lips and realized that Zhuang Mingxu had entered the space. He stood up in surprise and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
"I'll go with you." Xu Sa walked towards him.
Lu Weiyi waved at him and gave him a look. She didn't quite understand, but she could tell that his words were an excuse.
"Come back soon and don't let anyone worry."
Lu Weiyi made an OK gesture and walked downstairs. When he reached a deserted place, he turned around and entered the space.
"What's up?"
"I found out some information about the laboratory and will tell you the details." In addition, I also wanted to see if he was injured.
As time was running out, the two men didn't exchange much pleasantries and quickly communicated the situation on both sides.
But when it came to giving up the search for Wen Jing, Lu Weiyi still explained, "Qingji's surgery was done in a hurry, and the healing ability of the Henren Team was not enough to repair his organs, and he is still weak. Yu Mengchu should have injured his internal organs as well. The unknown places are too dangerous, and it's a bit risky to take them with him."
"After sending them back, if the Ruthless Team comes looking for someone, I can accompany them."
After all, Zhuang Mingxu has a good relationship with Wen Jing, and Wen Jing was happy to help with Taotao's previous affairs. It's not like Lu Weiyi is ungrateful for his kindness.
But there is no need for other team members to follow suit.
"No need to explain. It's not our problem even if we don't help. In this world, everyone is prepared to die at any time." Zhuang Mingxu realized that he was wrong and immediately made up for it, "Except you."
He held the person and sat him on his lap, "As long as you can survive, I can accept giving up anyone."
Lu Weiyi rubbed his cheek and felt the unshaved beard on his face. He felt a little disgusted, but Zhuang Mingxu pulled him back and rubbed his face for a long time.
"I'm not Taotao," Lu Weiyi pushed him away.
"There is no difference, they are all children," Zhuang Mingxu said with a smile.
Lu Weiyi rolled his eyes at him and told him about the situation of Zhao Gang and the others.
"They are right. These people are more valuable to us if they are alive, and even more valuable if they can be upgraded to a higher level." Zhuang Mingxu affirmed Wang Xi's words, "I will let Shen Xiuyin take a look at their situation later. He is quite suitable for these strange studies."
Since someone was worrying about him, Lu Weiyi didn't take it to heart. He checked the time and was about to say goodbye, when he saw Zhuang Mingxu holding something similar to a walkie-talkie in his hand and gave it to him, "Try this."
"What?"
"The thing that controls zombies" This is what he finally managed to extort from Qi Le's mouth.
In order to allow Qi Le to continue his research and not keep threatening him, Zhuang Mingxu agreed to many conditions from the other party in order to get this thing out. Fortunately, Qi Le knew his limits and his demands were not excessive, so the negotiation between the two was relatively harmonious.
"Do you remember that you put those zombies into the space when you left?" Zhuang Mingxu reminded.
As he expected, Lu Weiyi took a while to react before remembering. His mental power swept through the space with his sight and finally locked onto a place. "Bring it here?"
"Bring one here and try the effect. Maybe this thing can help you at a critical moment," Zhuang Mingxu said as he pressed the switch. Lu Weiyi pressed a finger on a place that looked like a fingerprint screen, "This requires verification, using a fingerprint."
"It is said that iris and blood can also be used, but I didn't think it was necessary at the time, so I simply set up fingerprints."
Lu Weiyi looked at the red and black buttons and asked, "Which one should I press?"
"The red one is the self-exposure device, and the black one is the call button. It has chip identification technology inside, which can communicate with the chip neurons connected to the zombie's brain, allowing the zombie to understand your instructions."
After listening to him, Lu Weiyi thought about it carefully and asked, "Is there any difference between that and me using my mental power to control the zombies?"
Even if the high-level zombies have some consciousness, they might be able to find the frequency and communicate directly with him using mental power.
“……”Zhuang Mingxu.
He didn't say anything, and Lu Weiyi felt that it was a bit unnecessary, especially since he couldn't fully recognize the language from what he said and could only transmit and distinguish part of it.
"You don't have to waste your mental energy." Zhuang Mingxu found a good excuse.
Lu Weiyi raised his eyebrows and accepted the reason, "Then let's try it."
Lu Weiyi input his fingerprint and started the controller while using his mental power to pull a zombie over. The zombie, which had originally closed its eyes, immediately opened its eyes the moment it sensed a stranger and rushed towards Zhuang Mingxu.
"Stop!" While speaking, Lu Weiyi did not forget to cover the two of them with a layer of mental barrier for protection.
Sure enough, the zombie stopped after hearing it, turned its head and looked in the direction of Lu Weiyi, as if trying to identify him. After a moment, it stood not far from Lu Weiyi. Apart from the dazed look, he really looked like a bodyguard.
"Use supernatural powers".
As soon as Lu Weiyi finished speaking, a beam of fire appeared from the zombie's hand and rushed straight towards Zhuang Mingxu.
"stop!"
"Take back the power!"
"Don't move!"
"stop!"
"..." Lu Weiyi changed several words in a row, but still failed to prevent the fire dragon from colliding with the mental barrier.
“Stop attacking!”
Fortunately, I guessed a recognizable sentence in the end.
Lu Weiyi looked at Zhuang Mingxu next to him, and the other party touched his nose, looking a little embarrassed.
Lu Weiyi threw the controller aside and used his mental power to enter the zombie's brain, taking control of the other party's consciousness.
but……
In this way, all the actions of the zombies need to rely entirely on one's own mental support. Once withdrawn, the other party may not even recognize oneself.
If you think about it this way, this thing isn't so useless, but at this level, it's a bit weak.
“What was their original purpose in studying this?”
"According to Qi Le, Dr. An He predicted shortly after the end of the world that zombies might regain consciousness as they upgraded, and he hoped to create conscious tools of war."
"It is said that it was successful, but what Qi Le was able to research is limited. There are records in the materials he took away, but his ability is not enough. I am considering whether to invest manpower and resources."
Lu Weiyi did not interfere, but returned the controller to Zhuang Mingxu, "It's not of much use to me. Why don't I study and learn the zombie language... frequency one day, and communicate directly with mental power. This way I should be able to communicate with conscious zombies."
"Okay," Zhuang Mingxu took it back and felt that his method was not bad, but cooperation was not as safe as direct control, so some research was still necessary, but there was no need to let Lu Weiyi get involved in these bloody and cruel things.
Zhuang Mingxu reminded them of the types of human-animal gene fusion experiments that the laboratory had conducted. Too much time had passed and if they didn't go back it would easily cause misunderstandings, so they had to part in a hurry.
After spending the night safely, the next morning, everyone in the team immediately started a new round of searching.
But this time they encountered nothing, were not attacked, and found no trace of Wen Jing and his group. It seemed as if they had completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
As evening approached, the atmosphere in the team became somewhat depressing.
"Do you think they are still alive?" someone asked in a low voice.
But it is destined to get no answer.
Lu Weiyi didn't want to guess. After one day without finding the person, several members of the Henren Team who were left behind even thought about separating from the team and looking for the person on their own.
However, not all the people who came to the Mengbei base were members of the Ruthless Team, and not everyone was willing to take the risk.
"I suggest that you all return with the team. The situation here is unclear, so leave your special abilities behind..." Lu Weiyi didn't continue, but his meaning was very clear. Even if a few people wanted to refute, they had nothing to say. "If the Henren Team wants to send someone to look for us when we get back, I can go with you then."
"Are you serious?"
Lu Weiyi nodded and said, "Before the end of the world, we were partners."
After he said this, several people agreed to leave and immediately found a relatively safe place to rest, preparing to recuperate and leave at dawn.
At this moment, living people appeared in this deserted city.
