Chapter 363 Capturing Zombies
"It's okay, maybe I fell asleep." The dark circles under Li Zhuang's eyes were as heavy as a panda's, and his eyelids even had several layers of double eyelids.
Liu Rui got off the card and stumbled, but was caught by Lu Weiyi and prevented from falling.
He pointed at the truck bed and said weakly, "Be careful."
He went forward and pulled the front door, and as soon as it opened, the situation inside was immediately revealed - everyone was either leaning, leaning, or even lying directly in the aisle, and those who were sleeping were unaware.
They weren't awakened by the noise, so it would be difficult to wake them up. Lu Weiyi made a prompt decision and "let them sleep like this."
"Brother Xi, prepare some water for them to wash." After reminding Xi, Lu Weiyi stepped forward and lifted the truck's cover.
Inside were several zombies entangled in metal chains. The originally quiet zombies struggled more violently after being exposed to the light, and there was even a stream of water attacking Lu Weiyi.
"This..." Xi Shi took two steps back in fear, protecting Zhuang Aiyi and Taotao behind him, and watched vigilantly as a dozen zombies rushed towards them, struggling from time to time.
"How did you catch the zombies? Do they have super powers? What are they going to do?" Lu Weiyi moved aside a little, and seeing that they were all tightly entangled in chains, he turned around and asked.
“The ones Zhuang Mingxu asked us to capture are all Wood and Water type, they are not very dangerous.” Li Zhuang threw the dirty clothes on the ground, took a bucket of water and poured it over his head to rinse off the dirt, then got up and went to the bathroom.
After hearing this and confirming that there was no problem, Lu Weiyi covered the block cloth again, asked someone to keep an eye on it, and went to West Island to check on the situation of Zheng Jun and his group.
Everyone here was exhausted. When Lu Weiyi came over, Lin Yimu had already put everyone to bed. Only Xu Yi seemed to be in better spirits, having just come out of the bathroom.
"What's wrong with them?" Lu Weiyi took out a can of eight-treasure porridge from the space and asked him to fill his stomach first.
Xu Yi tore it open without hesitation, drank it in a few gulps, then said with a dark face and gritted teeth, "Ask that lunatic on your team."
As soon as I heard it, I knew it was Li Zhuang.
"What's wrong?" Lu Weiyi handed him another hamburger.
Xu Yi took a big bite without any image and said vaguely, "He is simply a pervert. He rests for no more than four hours a day, and the rest of the time he is thrown into the pile of zombies and fights desperately."
Xu Yi had previously thought that the people he saw on the way back had already fought very hard, but at least they were not thrown into the pile of zombies. This time he saw the cruel side of these people.
The zombies surrounded a dozen people, gnawing at them with their nails and teeth. If they weren't careful, a piece of flesh would be lost. He seemed to be able to hear the chewing sounds.
"Is there any death?" Lu Weiyi asked.
Xu Yi shook his head and said, "He will save her."
“Is anyone dissatisfied and protesting?”
"In the beginning, yes, but later... no one had the energy to talk about that anymore."
I guess I have seen progress and have nothing to say.
Lu Weiyi knew the situation so he didn't ask any more questions. Seeing Xu Yi's humiliated look, he asked curiously, "He didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"How could there be none?" Xu Yi shouted immediately, angrily, "He asked me to fight him, using the fighting and killing technique."
As Xu Yi spoke, she started crying while holding the hamburger. She really looked extremely aggrieved, "I just want to live a life of idleness and wait for death, why should I be treated like this?"
"Look, look at me." Xu Yi put down the burger in his hand and immediately lifted up his clothes. "My body is full of wounds from his beatings."
Lu Weiyi stared at his fair skin without any scars and raised his eyebrows.
"I'm a healer, of course I can heal it directly," Xu Yi put down his lifted clothes and said angrily, "He also asked me to practice shooting, the recoil was so strong that my arm could be broken."
Lu Weiyi listened to him complaining in silence, took out a handful of melon seeds from the space, looked at them leisurely, and nodded from time to time.
Li Zhuang had never fought with anyone before, and except for training in the training room, he had never shown off his skills. Who would have thought that the one time he fought, it was to teach Xu Yi a lesson.
Lu Weiyi looked Xu Yi up and down, which frightened Xu Yi. He took two steps back silently, raised his head and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"You don't look good, your figure isn't good, your personality isn't good, and your character isn't good. How did you win over our vice-captain?"
Xu Yi choked and became furious. He pulled Lu Weiyi up and pushed him out, "Get out, get out, get out."
Lu Weiyi was not angry and staggered back to the central island.
Zhuang Mingxu, who had received the news, had returned and was lifting the cover to look at the zombies below.
"What do you want this for?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"I want Chen Xiuyin to research some instruments that can control superpowers." Zhuang Mingxu did not hide it. Whether it was mutated plants or animals or people with superpowers, they could not be used for experiments at the moment. They could only try using zombies with superpowers first.
"Is it different from Zhuang Mobai's potion that suppresses superpowers?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"Yes," Zhuang Mingxu replied, "The inhibitory agent can directly make the superpowers disappear temporarily, while the controlling instrument is an external force. By controlling the superpowers, we can reduce the possibility of danger."
Seeing that Lu Weiyi didn't understand, Zhuang Mingxu further explained, "For example, the mutant ivy on our island, it is now only threatened by Taotao. It doesn't seem to have the intention to hurt anyone, but it is out of our control. If there is something that can control its supernatural powers, we can directly become the master and control its behavior, otherwise we will be punished."
"It could be damage to the main body, or it could be damage to the crystal core, or it is more likely to be destroyed directly. Holding the opponent's life in your hands will make you feel more at ease when using it."
After he said this, Lu Weiyi immediately understood what he meant and couldn't help but sigh at this man's foresight.
**
The group didn't wake up until the next day. Lu Weiyi then realized that they had brought everything with them when they went out, except for a change of clothes. At this time, the places outside that were not buried by the earthquake had already been searched, and they couldn't find any replacement clothes at all, so they could only make do.
"You're used to being dependent on others," Ning Yuan gloated. Usually, Lu Weiyi's space had everything. He trained these people so that they could just hunt zombies or carry out missions. He didn't need to worry about anything at the rear. Now that he was going out, it was inevitable that he would be inconsiderate.
“Hehe, you are the one who has no space, you will have to rely on us when you go out in the future…” Wu Yue leaned back on the sofa and said nonchalantly.
"Captain, someone is threatening our teammates and trying to cause disunity within the team." Ning Yuan shifted the blame to someone else and filed a complaint directly.
Everyone who was listening was laughing, and Lu Weiyi replied with an expressionless "Oh".
After playing around for a while, Lu Weiyi got down to business. Considering everyone's upgrade time, the first person he asked was Gu Qingji.
"Not yet." Gu Qingji has been a little anxious recently, and even works harder than others when he goes out, but his supernatural powers seem to be fixed and cannot improve at all. "I feel like my supernatural powers have been... stolen."
He thought about it for a long time and felt that this word was the most appropriate.
"Stolen? What do you mean?" Several people in the living room looked over. The momentary silence made Zhuang Aiyi and Taotao focus their attention here.
"It's fixed at a certain stage, and if it goes up any further it will quickly come down," Gu Qingji described.
"What's going on?" Everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi hadn't heard of it either, "Please tell me more about it."
Gu Qingji pondered for a moment, "I had already reached the late stage of A-level, and was not far from upgrading, but suddenly, half of the energy I accumulated seemed to be stolen by something."
"According to my normal speed, I should be able to upgrade when I come back this time, but now I have only achieved half of the expected results."
Everyone in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment. No one understood what was going on. They had only been exposed to superpowers for a year, so they were still in the exploratory stage for any situation that arose.
"It's okay, it's just a little slower than before. I just need to spend more time," Gu Qingji said considerately.
"Let me think about it. You should also pay attention. If you feel uncomfortable or something seems wrong, feel free to communicate with us." Lu Weiyi frowned and seriously recalled what he had experienced in his two lives, trying to find some clues.
"Okay, I understand," Gu Qingji responded.
Lu Weiyi looked at the others.
"I'm still a little short," Xiong Jie took the initiative to say.
"I still need... a little more," Xu Sa said, and then he started laughing.
Wu Yue also shook his head, indicating that it was not the right time yet.
"How is the Zheng army doing?"
"Fortunately, five of them were upgraded to Class B, and the rest are still struggling at Class B. I don't know when they can be upgraded to Class A," Li Zhuang made the final summary, "Their levels are very low, but they had no discomfort at all when they upgraded. Was it the same when we upgraded at that time?"
He has forgotten what he looked like when he upgraded to B-level.
"The B-level seems to have some effect, but it's not very obvious. The A-level can clearly feel the agitation of the crystal core energy." Xu Sa was the last one to upgrade among the group. He still had some memories and tried hard to recall.
"Most of them did not absorb crystal cores, and some directly used the crystal cores of mutant animals to upgrade. Both mutant animal and mutant plant crystal cores are more suitable for human absorption than zombies. Zombies have less energy, so naturally less zombie energy accumulates in their bodies, so the possibility of upgrade failure is low," Lu Weiyi explained.
"Has your crystal core recovered?" Li Zhuang suddenly asked.
Lu Weiyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "It's okay now."
"Have you integrated into the body?"
"right"
"Thank God, you're finally alright. We've been planning on letting you stay at the base from now on."
"Can we go out together again now?" Xu Sa glanced at Zhuang Mingxu, "I really miss your big space."
"Didn't you get the space that Liu Rui drew? Are you still not satisfied?" Ning Yuan complained.
"What do you mean you're not satisfied? Don't I have to pack the supplies I brought back? There are limited things out there nowadays, why don't you stock up a little?" Xu Sa defended himself.
Lu Weiyi leaned on the sofa, Zhuang Mingxu sat on the armrest, his arms resting on the back of the sofa and half-embracing him. They sat in a circle in the living room, talking in twos and threes, and listened to the two of them shouting and laughing.
