Chapter 752 Children
"Haha--" Phoenix originally held its chin high and acted arrogantly, but after hearing Lu Weiyi's introduction, it immediately spoke out a reminder.
"..." Lu Weiyi, "It thinks it is a phoenix, so its name is Phoenix."
"Looks very domineering." Ning Yuan's voice fell, and he felt something hit him. He took three or four steps back. He thought he had made the other party unhappy when they just met. "Did I say something wrong?"
“Gah—”
"It's expressing affection. It didn't control its strength well. It's praising you for having good taste." Lu Weiyi translated, and saw Li Zhuang asking him with his mouth, "Duck?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head slightly, "Peacock."
Li Zhuang didn't understand, so Lu Weiyi hinted, "the one with the screen open."
"Oh, it must be very beautiful." Ning Yuan carefully reached out to touch it, but was pushed away by the phoenix arrogantly. Lu Weiyi immediately took it back into his consciousness.
He then asked about the SSS level with great interest, and became immediately excited when he learned that a spiritual body might appear after the upgrade.
"We have eight bases that have been upgraded to SS level. The only other base is Kyoto, which has three. I haven't heard of any bases in the rest. They have all fallen into a stagnation period recently. It's impossible to get crystal cores in this weather, and the ones we originally accumulated are almost used up."
"If we have enough crystal cores, we might be able to produce a few more SS-level psychics."
Ning Yuan had just finished sighing when he heard Lu Weiyi say, "Come on, call me daddy and I'll give you one hundred thousand or eighty thousand."
He held his head slightly high, with a dignified posture, and by contrast, he looked exactly like a phoenix.
"Dad, Dad, Dad...I can keep yelling until you go bankrupt." Xu Sa's voice suddenly sounded from behind, scaring Lu Weiyi.
He was seen running towards them, followed by Lu Xi who was holding up a mental barrier to protect them from the rain.
The two of them didn't see Lu Weiyi, so they excitedly said based on the direction the voice came from, "Lu Xiaoyi, why don't you show your true identity quickly!"
Lu Weiyi laughed and tried to spread the mental barrier covering the three people to the other two people. When Lu Xi saw this, he rushed over and said, "Brother, there has been no news from you for so long, they all said..."
"They are all spreading rumors that you are dead... I... I don't believe it. I have taken good care of Ai Yi, I..." He couldn't continue and started to cry.
Lu Weiyi patted his back to comfort him, and saw Xu Sa smiling at him with red eyes, "I knew nothing would happen to you. Are you taking advantage of me as soon as you come back?"
"I was wondering who is so bold as to touch my face," Xu Sa said as he stepped forward and threw a punch at Lu Weiyi, which was caught by Lu Weiyi. The two of them put their fists against each other, and everything was said without words.
"Don't cry, I got the news that my uncle hasn't been caught, but he's missing. I'm going to Kyoto to check the situation." Lu Weiyi comforted Lu Xi, thought for a moment, took off the ferret that had been hanging around his neck, and stuffed the mother and her two children into Lu Xi's arms, "... give this... to Aiyi to play with."
He hasn't learned how to express his longing and closeness openly, so it was extremely awkward to say this.
Fortunately, Lu Xi didn't notice it either, and immediately took over and nodded, "Ai Yi is fine, I just miss you guys a lot, how is Brother Ming Xu?"
"Very good." Neither of them wanted to leave for the moment, so they simply followed each other to the weapons warehouse.
Lu Xi intimately talked to Lu Weiyi about the situation at home and his progress and research over the winter. The other people sympathized with him, a child who had just become an adult and whose relatives were no longer around, and he felt uneasy about taking care of a younger friend, so they tacitly did not participate in the conversation.
The warehouse that was originally located on West Island and protected by mutant ivy is now located downstairs of the government building.
Going down the stairs, there are two guards at regular intervals. When they see someone appear, they pause to check their ID and immediately greet them.
"Hello."
"Thanks for your hard work".
After more than ten minutes, Lu Weiyi felt as if he had just done an inspection.
"This must be... almost a hundred meters deep, right?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"It's just 200 meters, and we are considering extending it deeper," Li Zhuang said. "Nowadays, the farther away from the ground, the less damage the equipment will suffer. There are some electronic equipment in the warehouse that cannot be damaged."
He looked at Lu Weiyi and said, "Do you have any room..."
"We can give it a try." Lu Weiyi now has no idea what the limit of his space is. Anyway, he has been putting things in it and has never encountered a situation where he cannot store anything.
"Then let's put some of our electronic equipment in there, so we don't have to worry every day," said Xu Sa.
"Can".
After walking for a while, the main entrance of the warehouse finally came into view, and also the people waiting at the door appeared.
Lin Yimu was pacing in front of the door. Beside him, besides two guards, Zhuang Aiyi was playing with Dean with three mutant wolves that were almost three meters tall.
Hearing the footsteps, everyone looked over. Zhuang Aiyi probably didn't know that he was back yet, because she was still smiling when she looked up. The moment she saw him, she was stunned for a moment, then ran towards him, tears falling down her face.
The child's soft body fell into his arms with a warm touch, and Lu Weiyi's eyes were a little sour after being touched.
“Dad, Dad!”
"It's okay, Dad is here." Lu Weiyi touched the child's back to comfort him, his voice gradually becoming hoarse.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yimu turned his head and wiped away his tears, looking Lu Weiyi up and down, "Young Master has lost a lot of weight."
"You've been in a coma and just woke up. You'll be fine after some rest later." Lu Weiyi had time to ask about the other person's health after he saw him.
"Nothing's wrong. Go for a physical checkup every ten days," Lin Yimu said. Dean had already jumped in front of Lu Weiyi. The dwarf had grown a little taller, and with his still golden and fluffy hair, he stood between the two of them to make his presence felt.
"Lu, Lu, I missed you so much, you're finally back." After not seeing each other for such a long time, the strange tone in his Mandarin finally disappeared.
"I can tell from the way you look that you're living a good life."
As they were talking, three mutant wolves came up to join in the fun, and their huge tongues wanted to lick them like huskies.
Zhuang Aiyi slapped them back with a rare domineering slap, and they occupied Lu Weiyi and did not allow the other three to get close. Lu Weiyi had no choice but to reach out and touch the three heads to comfort them.
Following a few people towards the warehouse, I saw two armed guards at the door with excited eyes, but they didn't move at all.
"Thank you for your hard work," Lu Weiyi said proactively.
"Don't work hard for the base!"
"Thank you, Base Commander!"
Two different voices sounded, the two people looked at each other, and spoke at the same time in tacit understanding.
"Thank you for your hard work, base commander!"
"Don't work hard for the base!"
It was another completely different answer, which made the two of them look at each other speechless, and caused Lu Weiyi to laugh.
"There are still more things sealed in the underground of West Island. The storage here is limited. Master, do you think it's enough? If not, I will bring more people to get it." Lin Yimu brought several people to the weapons storage area, and Li Zhuang immediately went to look for what they needed.
On the other side, Lu Weiyi took out all their worn-out guns from the space.
Seeing that all of these looked like they had been used for a long time, Lin Yimu knew that it hadn't been easy to have been there for so long. "It can still be used after repair. I'll ask them to arrange it in the next few days."
"Okay." Lu Weiyi followed Ning Yuan to the other side and saw that there were still quite a few cars there, but only the frames were left, like large toys.
"I dismantled it when it was still usable. I don't know if it will work if I install it now." He pointed at a pile of carefully placed machines and said, "Let's put them away first."
There were two rows of shelves, stretching for hundreds of meters. It looked like a lot, but it was far from what Lu Weiyi had collected. "Is that all?"
"The rest are sealed in the underground warehouse on West Island. We originally planned to use them as reserves in case we evacuate. You can take them with you later. Choose a new place."
"Isn't Nengxi Island flooded? Is it still possible to get there?"
"There is a passage underground, but it is not often used."
After putting the things away, the group was about to go upstairs when they heard Ning Yuan cough twice, "What did you just say..."
He rubbed his fingers together and raised his chin to hint at Lu Weiyi, "Where is it?"
He was still thinking about the crystal core that Lu Weiyi mentioned.
This was the first time since the base was established that Lu Weiyi saw them so poor. He felt a little sorry for them. He placed the crystal cores hunted by Zhao Gang and his team on the ground, and they immediately piled up into a small hill.
Ning Yuan excitedly stepped forward and opened the bag to check. Even though the level was indicated on it, it did not hinder his actions.
"The zombies over here haven't been purified, and the mutant animals over there are used directly."
"It's okay, I'll have someone purify it as soon as possible." Ning Yuan took two handfuls with both hands and sighed, "Sure enough, the sense of security brought by the crystal core is incomparable to anything else."
"Are they so poor?" Lu Weiyi was surprised.
"Our base's soldiers are owed wages, what do you think?" Ning Yuan covered his face, "We have been busy surviving this winter and have no time to look for crystal cores. The contact with the base has been cut off, and we have no income."
"I also owe them some money. I just paid it back before I left." Lu Weiyi glanced at the space. The remaining ones were all of high level. He had to take the Phoenix out, and it all depended on high-level crystal cores. He couldn't give them any more, so he could only say, "There should be another batch in a while, and I'll give it to you then."
It is estimated that the one-month period for Zhao Gang's group should be coming to an end soon, and they will have more income by then.
"Is there anyone who pays tribute to you?" Xu Sa was curious.
"We found a group of prisoners." Lu Weiyi didn't elaborate. Seeing Xu Sa's eyes shining, he chuckled, "All of them are high-level S-level, and most of them are one step away from SS-level."
"How many people? So powerful?" Li Zhuang was surprised.
The level of their psychics in each base is now at the top, but they still can't do this. It is really surprising that so many can come from that place.
"More than two hundred."
When they returned to the ground, seeing that Lu Weiyi was about to leave, Zhuang Aiyi, who had finally stopped crying, immediately burst into tears.
He didn't say that he was leaving, nor did he say that he missed him. He just hugged him tightly and cried.
The touch was obviously warm, but it made Lu Weiyi feel a continuous and intense pain.
