Chapter 292 Zhao Qiang
The hot water on the table has gone cold.
He glanced at the time and saw there were still five minutes left.
"Let's go, no more waiting." Lu Weiyi had just stood up when someone pushed the door open. It was Zhao Qiang himself.
"Sorry, I can't get away because of something in the team," Zhao Qiang said, and asked someone to get a cup of hot water. Seeing that Lu Weiyi looked like he was about to leave, he glanced at the time and said, "I'm not late, am I?"
Indeed not.
Lu Weiyi had never been blocked like this before, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Zhuang Mingxu is used to it - in the past in the business world, he was not as powerful as others and had seen all kinds of faces.
He pulled Lu Weiyi, whose face was full of unhappiness, back to his seat and took the initiative to greet Zhao Qiang.
Lu Weiyi closed his eyes, crossed his arms, and looked away.
After a few words, Zhao Qiang got straight to the point, "I heard from Captain Meng that you two have something to discuss with me that concerns my life..."
He looked at the two people in front of him with a cold and oppressive gaze, as if they would pay the price if they didn't say anything.
Zhuang Mingxu was not frightened. He still maintained a talkative demeanor and asked, "Has Chief Zhao accumulated enough plant-type crystal cores for upgrading?
Zhao Qiang looked at the two of them and asked with a smile, "Why? Do you two have any plant crystal cores to sell to me?"
"That's not the case," Zhuang Mingxu refused bluntly.
Zhao Qiang felt like he was being tricked, and his face looked a little unhappy.
"We can ensure that you survive when you upgrade," Zhuang Mingxu put away his casual look and said solemnly.
Zhao Qiang's eyes flickered as he looked at Zhuang Mingxu. Not realizing that he was lying, he smiled after a moment.
"You guys are already in danger of upgrading yourself? You're writing me a blank check." His face turned cold, and he spoke word by word, "Mr. Zhuang, are you kidding me?"
"Does our team's strength look like it could be dangerous?" Zhuang Mingxu asked calmly.
Zhao Qiang's eyes swept over Zhuang Mingxu, and finally stopped at Lu Weiyi. He asked tentatively, "You can't see that Captain Lu has a problem with the upgrade, and is on the verge of life and death, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Mingxu, who was planning the strategy, froze and turned his head abruptly to look at Lu Weiyi.
He opened his mouth to say something, but suppressed it again.
"Haha," Zhao Qiang laughed, "It seems you really don't know. That's right, you are an ordinary person, it's normal that you can't see it."
"But Captain Lu, don't you feel anything? There must be something wrong with your crystal core, right?"
"I thought you didn't look like someone who could endure hardship before, but now I take that back. You're already amazing for being able to endure the pain that feels like it could explode at any moment and maintain basic decency."
Zhao Qiang's words caught Zhuang Mingxu off guard. The other party directly hit his soft spot, and Zhuang Mingxu couldn't even maintain the most basic composure.
"So...you two, why do you threaten me with my life?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Qiang's supernatural power came out. The small room was suddenly surrounded by a layer of earth walls, the windows disappeared, and the surroundings instantly became dark. With the last ray of light, Zhuang Mingxu saw countless earth thorns growing rapidly and coming towards the two of them.
He quickly stretched out his hand in the direction of Lu Weiyi, and just as he grabbed the person, he felt the surrounding earth walls fall down, and the light returned all around, as if nothing had happened.
Except for that, there was a loose circle of soil half a leg high on the ground, and Zhao Qiang lying on the ground.
"you……"
Zhao Qiang coughed twice and spit out two mouthfuls of blood. He looked at Lu Weiyi with vigilance.
Lu Weiyi, who was sitting on the stool, never left his seat. He just opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Qiang without any emotion.
Like a killing machine.
At this moment, Zhao Qiang felt that apart from his face that could lower people's guard at any time, it would not be surprising for the person with this look to do anything.
After realizing that the pressure on his body had disappeared, Zhao Qiang climbed up from the ground with dignity.
"Because you are weak," Lu Weiyi answered his previous question.
"Are you an S-level superpower?" Zhao Qiang ignored his disparagement and asked back. Without waiting for anyone to answer, he said, "No, I have seen S-level zombies." Although he had never fought one, the possibility of being defeated in one move was simply non-existent.
"Are you SS level?" Zhao Qiang stared at Lu Weiyi in surprise.
Lu Weiyi ignored him and stood up, "When you reach S-level, I will protect you once."
He pulled Zhuang Mingxu, who seemed to be shocked by the news, out and reminded him, "You know what to do."
"Wait a minute." When they reached the door, Zhuang Mingxu grabbed Lu Weiyi's arm and turned to look at Zhao Qiang, "How did you know that there was a problem with his upgrade?"
"I heard that when you were promoted to A-level, you had some emotional problems for a while..."
"Yes," Zhao Qiang did not hide it, "I almost died at that time, and I had a splitting headache all day long, so naturally I needed to vent."
When he was upgraded, his condition was not very good. When the news spread that he was going to die, many people in the team began to get restless.
After he survived a near-death experience, they actually wanted to attack him when he was feeling unwell. At that time, Zhao Qiang endured the pain and cleansed the entire force.
Even though there were rumors among other teams that he might not be able to survive the next upgrade, no one in the escort team dared to say a word or have any second thoughts.
"How did you manage to survive?" Zhuang Mingxu looked at Zhao Qiang's condition.
"This requires skills," Zhao Qiang said, looking at Lu Weiyi, "Do you feel that the energy in your brain is out of control, running around, and ready to burst out of your head at any time?"
Lu Weiyi didn't say anything.
Zhuang Mingxu knew him too well. He knew what he meant by a flicker of his eyes. He asked directly, "How do I control it?"
"I need to know what level you are at?" Zhao Qiang asked.
"Didn't you guess it?" Lu Weiyi replied.
A hint of excitement flashed across Zhao Qiang's eyes, "How did you upgrade? I have been making unlimited use of the crystal cores and I have been exercising regularly. How is it possible that someone could surpass me by so much?"
"Do you want to know?" Lu Weiyi smiled, and with his pale face he looked a little evil.
Zhao Qiang said without hesitation, "I want to."
He said his chips, "I'll tell you how to control the energy."
Lu Weiyi shook his head and said, "You know why I'm looking for you."
Zhao Qiang stared at Lu Weiyi for a long while, "Have you found a way to control energy?"
Lu Weiyi didn't answer him.
"That's right, otherwise the energy will be messy and you won't be able to use your abilities," Zhao Qiang said to himself, "You want me not to cooperate with the Zheng family?"
"I'll turn around and help you."
After this conversation, Zhuang Mingxu's emotions had eased, and he naturally took over the conversation, "That depends on how much Chief Zhao's life is worth."
Zhao Qiang didn't say anything. Zhuang Mingxu took Lu Weiyi's hand and said goodbye to him and left the office.
They were silent all the way until they returned to the villa, and he pulled Lu Weiyi directly into the bedroom.
"I'm fine," Lu Weiyi took the initiative to comfort him without waiting for him to ask.
Zhuang Mingxu nodded without saying anything. After settling the person in the bedroom, he turned around and went out to look for Cong Qing.
Not long after, Cong Qing came in with a batch of medical supplies and doctors.
"I'll have someone check you up," Zhuang Mingxu said directly. His tone was calm, and there was a tone that brooked no refusal.
Lu Weiyi didn't say anything and was directly placed on the examination bed.
Various instruments were put on the head, and the doctor standing nearby began to adjust the instruments.
Zhuang Mingxu stood beside the bed, holding his hand tightly. When no one noticed, Lu Weiyi noticed that his hand was trembling slightly, but his expression obviously stabilized, so as not to lose his composure in front of Zhao Qiang.
He suddenly remembered the moment after he rescued him, when they were returning to Qingyuan together and were being chased by someone and fell under the bridge.
Lu Weiyi touched the back of his hand with his fingertips and comforted, "It's okay."
It sounded like a reassurance to him.
Zhuang Mingxu's throat choked up when he heard this and he couldn't utter a word.
The doctor smeared a transparent substance on Lu Weiyi's forehead. As the probe moved across his forehead, a small hard substance gradually appeared on the monitor next to it.
Zhuang Mingxu stared at the screen next to him. As the doctor pressed the buttons to zoom in, the cracks on it became clearer and clearer.
The doctor turned his head carefully to look at the two of them.
"Say," Zhuang Mingxu said with a trembling voice.
"This gentleman, the crystal core in his body shows signs of breaking..."
"Can it be repaired?"
“Sorry, we don’t have much research on this.”
"Is it not possible for a healing psychic?" Zhuang Mingxu held the sitting Lu Weiyi in his arms.
"In theory, it is possible. To put it simply, superpowers are a kind of energy body. The crystal core is the carrier of the energy body. Healing superpowers are a kind of energy with repair function." The doctor paused halfway through his words and looked at the two people in front of him.
"Captain Zhao's crystal core also had cracks. We had experimented with healing users at that time." The doctor paused here, "It can't be said that it's useless, it's just that the healing users couldn't get close."
"This position is the core position of the supernatural power. It has the defensive properties of the human body and will naturally resist the touch of external energy."
"If the precautions can be overcome, can it be repaired?" Zhuang Mingxu heard the loophole in his words.
"Theoretically, yes," the doctor replied.
"Then let's do the experiment on the crystal core first..."
Zhuang Mingxu was halfway through his words when he saw the doctor shaking his head at him, "When you take out the crystal core from a human or zombie, the energy will no longer circulate, just like..."
The doctor thought about it and gave an analogy, "An organ growing in the human body will die after it is taken out."
"The healing powers of a psychic have no effect on inanimate objects."
Zhuang Mingxu quickly thought of possible solutions in his mind.
Lu Weiyi looked at Qi Lin at the door and signaled him to send the doctors away.
After everyone left, Lu Weiyi looked at Zhuang Mingxu and said, "It's okay. I had been planning to integrate the crystal core into my body after the upgrade. If it breaks, I'll just consider it as ahead of schedule."
"What do you mean?" Zhuang Mingxu frowned.
"Everyone knows that the crystal core of a psychic is located between the eyebrows. This position is very dangerous, and being able to integrate it into the whole body can be considered a form of protection." This was in the later period of the previous life. In order to prevent the crystal core from being deliberately dug out by evil people, psychics would basically transform their crystal cores into energy and integrate them into their bodies.
