Chapter 868 Old Fox
"I agree to go to Yuebanwan Base with you, but there is a condition," Su He said straight to the point, "I want to take Wanwan with me."
"She's not..." dead.
"Mu Wan's situation is a bit special. She shows no signs of life," Qin Xing added.
Lu Weiyi didn't understand how this was different from death.
"The body hasn't decayed," Qin Xing added.
"so?"
"I want to take her with me," Su He repeated.
Lu Weiyi looked at him, thinking about everything that might happen to Mu Wan. If it were an ordinary person, he might think it was just a thought, but for a scientific researcher...
The biggest warning that several years of life in the apocalypse gave him was not to underestimate any scientific researcher. It is an eternal truth that knowledge changes destiny, but it is unknown whether it is used in the right way.
"Okay, but you'll need to obey the base's arrangements after you get there." Lu Weiyi looked at his expression and didn't think there was anything wrong with his brain, so he gave him a heads-up in advance, "You must be prepared to be subject to certain restrictions when you bring her with you."
"As long as I don't separate from her, everything else is fine." Su He's tone was calm as if he had no desires or demands. This kind of calmness when facing death made people feel even more horrified.
Lu Weiyi decided to have people pay more attention to him in the future. He pointed at the little monster trapped in the cage woven with plants. He looked a little weak after most of the night.
No one understood what species this thing was. In order to avoid affecting future experimental results, he had not eaten anything in the five or six hours since he was born. I don't know if he was hungry, and he looked a little weak.
"What about him? Do you want to take him with you or do you want me to take him away?"
Perhaps noticing their gazes, the little monster looked over here. Even when Su He looked at him, he stretched out his hand towards him and hummed twice, as if he was acting coquettishly and asking for help.
A look of disgust flashed across Su He's face, "It's up to you."
The meaning of this sentence is really thought-provoking. Lu Weiyi never thought it would be so easy. "Are you sure?"
Su He did not answer. He turned his wheelchair and prepared to leave. When he reached the door, he turned back and asked, "Do you have a crystal core?"
Lu Weiyi took out a bag from the space and handed it to him. Su He took it and turned away without any reluctance. The little monster trapped in the cage seemed to have sensed something and slapped the cage, making an anxious sound in his throat, as if reminding Su He "You forgot me".
Qin Xing sighed, took out a hand-painted paper from his pocket and handed it over, "I heard from Wang Qing that you wanted to find a nearby coal mine. I asked the people in the village to recall two places that may not have been mined. When do you plan to leave?"
"This afternoon."
Lu Weiyi wanted to go back to the base. Even though he would be busy there, the constant running around always gave him a feeling of insecurity.
"So fast." Qin Xing was also surprised at his speed. "Although I also think it would be safer to go back as soon as possible, there is no need to be so anxious. How about resting here for two days?"
"No, my family is waiting for me." Although Zhuang Mingxu didn't say anything, Lu Weiyi knew that there were many things waiting for him to deal with when he returned. If he was delayed on the road for too long, the last betrayal would most likely happen again.
Qin Xing nodded in understanding, "Okay, um... I heard that the healing zombie in Qin Jin's team can repair human injuries, is that true?"
Lu Weiyi nodded, "It's just that her level is not high, her ability is not strong, and she lacks self-control. It's best not to let her come into contact with bloody wounds to avoid accidents."
"Okay," Qin Xing waved his hand, "I'll go ask Qin Jin for help, you can do whatever you want, I'll practice it for you at noon."
After Qin Xing left in a hurry, Lu Weiyi immediately sent a message to the base, asking them to take the little monster back.
This time Taotao sent Li Zhuang directly over, "Zhuang Mingxu was worried that Taotao would be in danger if an accident happened, so he asked me to run over."
Lu Weiyi nodded and pointed to the cage in the corner.
"Is this it?" Li Zhuang glanced around the single room he lived in, his eyes fixed on a small thing in the corner, and he squatted over to take a look.
"Yes, has the base been assigned to someone?"
"I don't know, I'm only responsible for running errands." Li Zhuang reached out to touch it, but before Lu Weiyi could remind him, the little monster bit his finger fiercely.
"He's very fierce, are you okay?"
Li Zhuang shook his head and pinched his mouth open with his other hand, revealing his fingers covered in mud with two deep marks on them.
"Wow, that's awesome." The enhanced superpowers of SS-level psychics can leave marks, and lower-level psychics may be injured.
He pinched the little monster's mouth open and found that it had no teeth. Its gums looked no different from those of a human baby, but appeared to be stronger.
"It seems that we need to tell those nerdy researchers to be more careful about their safety when we go back, so as not to get eaten by this thing." Li Zhuang wiped his fingers, stood up and asked Lu Weiyi about his recent situation. After learning about the changes in the zombies, he smiled and said, "It seems that what the zombies are saying is right. It seems that God doesn't give humans a way to survive. It turns out that zombies are more adaptable."
"What about the base? Has the radiation affected you in any way?"
"No situation has occurred in the base for the time being, but radiation has been detected. I have not been out, so I am not clear about the changes. Others are still in the exploratory stage, but Zhou He said that the level of the mutated animals is higher." Li Zhuang said, remembering the recent news, "The mutated peacock you left behind has not come back since it flew away last time. It is said that someone has seen it in the mountains."
"Leave it alone, just don't provoke our base, and tell the people in the base not to provoke it."
"Did the interrogation of the Suicide Squad yield any results?" Since he set off, Zhuang Mingxu did not tell him many things in detail. Lu Weiyi was not sure whether what he said was all good was really good or just a pretext to avoid worrying him.
"They see no hope of survival, so naturally they want to find someone to die with." This situation is inevitable. "Zhuang Mingxu found some people among the scientific researchers who went there to be in charge of their project. This way, they can see some hope, and they will naturally be content."
"Are there any people studying these things among the people this time?" Lu Weiyi had the illusion that someone was giving him a pillow when he went to sleep.
Li Zhuang looked at him with that half-smile in his eyes again, as if silently mocking his naivety, making Lu Weiyi unable to help but grit his teeth.
"What are you thinking about? Our base is not short of people nowadays. What we lack are people who can create value. Naturally, the higher-ups will select the necessary projects and let them research on them. If they can't produce results, it means they themselves are not capable enough."
"What will happen if I don't have the ability?" Lu Weiyi had a bad feeling.
"You'll know when you go back." Li Zhuang didn't say it clearly. He propped his head up to look at the ceiling and sighed rarely, "It won't be easy to manage too many people."
"I'll go back as soon as possible." Lu Weiyi had no idea what he was thinking about, and his tone was serious, which made Li Zhuang laugh.
"Zhuang Mingxu said that you don't need to leave in a hurry this time. You can go to the coal mines around here and get some energy for us. I'll go with you?"
"...Is it convenient?" Qin Jin and a group of zombies followed him.
"Qin Jin himself has seen you use the space channel, as for others... you don't have to pay attention to them." Li Zhuang didn't take those low-level zombies seriously. He even felt that it was a bit redundant for Qin Jin to bring them along. If the base wasn't in turmoil and integration and needed high-level psychics to guard it, he would be willing to follow Lu Weiyi and go back.
There are constant intrigues in the unknown wilderness and the base, and everyone knows what to choose. Li Zhuang touched his chin and was very tempted.
"Okay, I'll tell them we'll leave in the afternoon, and you guys can come then." Lu Weiyi also wanted them to come and experience it to see if there was anything they hadn't discovered.
At noon that day, Qin Xing played the role of a good host and had the army kitchen kill a pig to send them off. The pork was naturally fed without any feed, so it was difficult for Lu Weiyi, who had never lacked food, to raise his head from the table. Lu Weiyi even took away two pigs. After they parted, Lu Weiyi couldn't help but tell Qin Jin that it was worth it to be such an uncle.
At this time, they were walking on the passage leading to the ground. Wang Qing, Liu Zhuo and several other team members came to see them off, mainly carrying Su He, Mu Wan and the wheelchairs they needed. Qin Jin walked behind to separate them from the zombies.
Hearing his words, he paused and looked back at him as if he was a fool. Lu Weiyi immediately realized something was wrong. He suspected that Qin Xing had cheated him out of money again in an unknown place.
"Xu Xiao examined the 932 seriously injured villagers in their village and treated 76 of them. If you count so many people, how much would the healing psychics in your base charge?"
"..."Lu Weiyi.
He asked carefully, "Didn't you ask for supplies?"
"I don't have to eat or drink, and I don't need any supplies. As for the crystal cores... they don't have them either." Qin Jin looked at him, "I'll ask him to ask you what you need."
"So, he gave me two and a half pigs?" Lu Weiyi gritted his teeth, feeling as if there was a breath stuck in his throat, neither going up nor down. He looked back at the place where he had already walked half the distance, and cursed, "This old fox."
The few people who heard the sound in front couldn't help but hold back their laughter, and at the same time quickened their pace, fearing that the leaders' "friendly exchange" would involve themselves.
"It's not even two and a half. Didn't I give you the one I killed? It's just cooked food for you to eat on the road." Qin Jin made fun of him and sighed, "It's a miracle that your base has not collapsed yet."
Lu Weiyi suffered a loss and remained silent until he reached the ground.
The little monkey, who had been left on the ground waiting for a whole night, immediately came up to Lu Weiyi and rubbed him intimately when he saw them appear. As a result, he pushed the man who was in a bad mood and almost fell down, causing several people who followed him to laugh uncontrollably.
Wang Qing put Su He back on the wheelchair and placed the tightly wrapped Mu Wan in his arms. Then he took the initiative to say goodbye to Lu Weiyi, "Captain Lu, we won't see you off on the rest of the way. I hope you have a safe journey."
“See you later.”
After saying goodbye to the group, Zhang Qing pushed Su He and they set out on a journey to find a coal mine.
A zombie was pushing a wheelchair for a human whose superpower level was not as high as his own. Zhang Qing did not say anything, but he expressed his dissatisfaction vividly.
Even though the wheelchair Su He was sitting in was special, it was still tilted by the bumpy road surface he was walking on. Su He looked like he was riding a roller coaster.
