Chapter 448: Taking the Lead
During the confrontation between the base and the zombies, the zombie basically would not move. The occasional movements would definitely be to the place where the psychics attacked most fiercely and the number of zombies decreased the most.
In the first video, the zombie was surrounded in the middle, and then the distance he stood at gradually became farther and farther, until the last video, when the zombie obviously felt it was being filmed and threw something at it.
After watching the video, Lu Weiyi and Zhuang Mingxu's eyes unconsciously turned to Su Yan and found that he was still staring at the zombie whose face they couldn't see clearly. After a long while, he met their gazes, forced a smile stiffly, and nodded.
"These are intermittent shots of the zombie attacks on the Nanzuo Base in the north, the Xinghai Base, and the Nuoxi Base," Zheng Yi introduced. "We discovered this after countless image analyses and tactical thinking."
"This zombie has been making progress. It can be said that since the first siege, he has been constantly using practical drills to improve his success rate."
"How can this be called a zombie? Is this a spirit?"
"They all know tactics. How can humans survive?"
"Don't you have powerful crystal core weapons in your Kyoto base? Why don't you put them into use directly and just blow them up?"
"That's right. If things get worse, there's still the SS level..."
Lu Weiyi glanced over lightly, and the unusually cold look made the man avoid his gaze and did not continue speaking.
"Everyone be quiet," Zheng Yi slammed the table. "Crystal core weapons cannot achieve the expected effect against zombies that are too high in level. In addition, due to a series of reasons such as the difficulty in manufacturing and long-distance transportation, the amount put on the market is very small."
"Moreover, since the last zombie siege on the Nosi base in April this year, there has been no zombie siege again, so there is no definite information about where this zombie is."
"However, the investigation found that the zombies are still carrying out large-scale activities. There are too many specific destinations to distinguish for the time being. We estimate that the other party may have a big plan to implement, so we hope that all our bases can work together."
"Sure, our base welcomes Kyoto Base to help us through this difficult time."
"Yes, welcome, welcome."
They are all used to being independent. When it comes to getting benefits, they all want to be in the front, but no one is willing to share the burden.
After the meeting, it was obvious that all three of them were exhausted.
When Zhuang Mingxu saw the passage door closed and heard cursing from inside, he couldn't help laughing.
Lu Weiyi poked him, and Zhuang Mingxu leaned in and asked in a low voice, "Did your uncle say anything to you? For example, asking you for help?"
"No, what's wrong?" Lu Weiyi was puzzled.
"I feel something is wrong." Facing Lu Weiyi's inquiring gaze, Zhuang Mingxu whispered, "Kyoto's attitude this time is a bit low, especially the second thing, so I suspect they should know the direction of the zombie migration, it is very likely..."
He pointed to the ground beneath his feet.
As soon as Lu Weiyi opened his mouth, Zhuang Mingxu quickly covered it with his hand, and he couldn't say anything.
"Hello, are you the land base commander of the Moon Bay Base?"
A voice came from behind, and Zhuang Mingxu touched him gently, motioning him to go back and talk.
Lu Weiyi suppressed his surprise and turned around to exchange polite words with the visitor.
**
After a busy day, Lu Weiyi didn't want to say a word.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw Li Zhuang and Xu Yi sitting leisurely on the swing in the yard, cracking melon seeds and talking, and my lazy bones suddenly jumped up.
"Li Zhuang, I need to investigate some things nearby tomorrow. You will attend the meeting on my behalf." Lu Weiyi looked so serious that even Zhuang Mingxu didn't notice anything wrong.
Li Zhuang glanced at Xu Yi and asked, "You will be at the villa tomorrow?"
"I know, I know." Xu Yi said impatiently with a smile on his brows.
After returning to the room, Zhuang Mingxu asked Lu Weiyi what he was going to do.
"Nothing. Socializing is too tiring. I don't want to go." Lu Weiyi lay on the bed with his head buried in the quilt, like an ostrich with its butt sticking up.
Zhuang Mingxu couldn't help but slapped and rubbed it.
Those who came to the base either wanted to exchange for more purification crystal cores, or wanted to inquire about upgrades. The more well-informed ones came with crystal core weapons. Wherever Lu Weiyi stood, he was like a moving weather vane, and everyone gathered around him.
They were all people who could be in charge of a base, and they couldn't make things awkward, so Lu Weiyi could only patiently greet them.
Zhuang Mingxu felt it was amazing that he had been able to hold on and not get angry.
He leaned over and carried the person to the bed, "You rest for a while, I'll call you when it's time for dinner."
"Well, go check where Zhuang Aiyi and Taotao are. Why aren't they there?"
"knew".
Zhuang Mingxu closed the door and left the bedroom.
That night, Zhao Qiang and Zheng Yi suddenly came to visit.
Even though the two of them were dressed casually, with no one around them, and were carrying some things as if they were visiting a neighbor, Lu Weiyi did not dare to let his guard down at all.
"The mutated honey you brought me a few days ago is really good stuff. It tastes sweet and the energy is mild and non-irritating. My old lady has eaten it and said that her old cold body ailment has been alleviated a lot."
Zheng Yi put down the wine in his hand and said with a smile, "So no one is worse than you in researching the food for ordinary people."
"Thank you for your concern," Zhuang Mingxu invited the two of them in. "If you like it, old lady, we will have a batch of mutant fruits ripening in the autumn harvest at our base, and we will send some to you then."
"Thank you so much. Nowadays, people with special abilities have everything they need, but ordinary people have to be very careful about what they want to eat. We have to cook two servings for every meal at home. As her son, I feel uncomfortable when I see how little the old lady can eat," Zheng Yi sighed.
"Are you still short of food? Everyone in the base knows that if you sell anything that ordinary people can eat to the Zheng family, they can earn a lot of money," Zhao Qiang exposed mercilessly.
"Look how stingy this guy is, just because he didn't win the fight with me for a normal sheep last time." Zheng Yi pointed at Zhao Qiang and laughed, "Can you blame me for this?"
Zhao Qiang glared at him fiercely and handed over the two ducks and a stack of sesame cakes in his hands, "This is a hanging oven duck made by a top chef in our team. These ducks are not mutated. Let you try them."
"I haven't seen this kind of hanging oven sesame cake in several years. I used to love it. It tastes great with vegetables." Zhuang Mingxu took it and asked someone to send it to the kitchen. "Then you two can eat here tonight. I'll ask someone to prepare some snacks."
"Okay, I came here specially to have a drink with you guys." Zheng Yi saw that Lu Weiyi had a look of caution on his face, so he patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "Brother Lu, what's with that expression on your face?"
"Beware of your malicious expressions," Lu Weiyi said without hesitation, causing Zhao Qiang to laugh as well.
"Look at what you said. We are brothers. Can I still bully you?"
"Are the crystal core weapons in our base useful?" Lu Weiyi asked.
Last time, he was drunk by these two and signed a deal for crystal core weapons. It was the first time he encountered such a smiling trap, and it left a deep impression on him.
Zheng Yi and Zhao Qiang burst into laughter again.
In the evening, the kitchen prepared a few side dishes, and the four of them ate in the yard in the cool air.
This time, Zhuang Mingxu was drinking with the two of them, so Lu Weiyi just took a couple of sips out of consideration. After three rounds, Zheng Yi brought the topic back to the current situation, "What do you think of what you saw today?"
Although he asked this, his eyes turned to Lu Weiyi, waiting for his answer.
Lu Weiyi quickly turned his head to look at Zhuang Mingxu.
Zhuang Mingxu was used to it, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Qiang and Zheng Yi looked at each other, as if they had exchanged information silently. Zheng Yi sighed and spoke again, "The information sent out today is limited."
Zhao Qiang took out his cell phone and handed it to Lu Weiyi, asking him to look at it himself.
The interface that opens shows several videos that have never been played in public. In the videos, you can clearly see the zombie howling at other zombies, and the other zombies are responding. Then they will leave together in a certain direction.
However, after a while, the leading zombie seemed to have forgotten something and stopped to look around. Sometimes it would stay in the same place and wander aimlessly, and sometimes it would suddenly return in the opposite direction, and repeat this process over and over again.
"According to our analysis, the zombie's consciousness may not have fully recovered. He only remembers some fragments, and they are fragmentary and cannot be grasped," Zhao Qiang explained.
"No wonder it's been so long and I haven't heard any definite news." Zhuang Mingxu put down his phone and looked at the two of them. "What do you mean by showing this to us?"
"This zombie may be able to communicate with other zombies, or it may be able to command other zombies. Either way, it will not be good news for humans. If one day he recovers, stands on the opposite side of humans, and calls on millions of zombie armies, the consequences are simply unimaginable."
"So, we want to take this opportunity to form a legion of superpowers composed of various bases, specifically to deal with the zombie army."
"You want people from our base to participate?" Zhuang Mingxu's eyes turned, "Or, do you want Xiao Yi, the most powerful psychic, to make the call?"
Zheng Yi nodded.
Zhuang Mingxu immediately refused, "No."
Zhao Qiang and Zheng Yi turned to look at Lu Weiyi. Zhuang Mingxu grabbed Lu Weiyi's hand and said gently, "Xiaoyi, go see why Aiyi and Taotao haven't come back yet? Where did you have dinner?"
Lu Weiyi turned his gaze to the three of them, nodded, stood up and left.
"Zhuang Mingxu, you..."
"Zheng Yi!" Zheng Yi was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Zhuang Mingxu's stern shout. The shout was so loud that all his teammates in the villa came out to take a look.
Xu Sa smiled and nodded to the two of them, then called out, "Brother Mingxu?"
Zhuang Mingxu looked at Zheng Yi with sharp eyes for a moment. Several people also stood behind Xu Sa, and their gazes lingered between the three of them.
After waiting for Zheng Yi to sigh, Zhuang Mingxu said, "It's okay, you guys go eat."
"Hey, call us if you need anything," Xu Sa said, and led everyone back to the restaurant.
The three of them fell completely silent.
