Chapter 541 Little Green Branch
But he didn't dare to underestimate it. After all, there was no psychic in the base who could affect people's brains and cause them to have hallucinations.
Seeing that he was determined, Wu Yue took a few steps ahead of him. He walked very fast, and it was only thanks to Zhuang Mingxu's continuous exercise in the past two years that he could keep up with him.
The ground that had become bare due to the previous fight had long since grown ankle-high weeds again, with withered yellow leaves swaying in the wind.
Many places were stained with black and red blood, and it seemed that the marks had been there for quite a long time.
Walking further in, a mutant tiger about three meters tall appeared in the field of vision, rolling comfortably in the grass, squinting its eyes and exposing its belly, not looking defensive at all;
Not far away from it, a black hoofed animal similar to a cow was jumping happily towards the distance. Its huge body made the ground tremble violently every time it landed.
The mutant rabbits were nibbling the weeds around their mouths, jumping leisurely, and rushing towards Wu Yue. Wu Yue dodged them swiftly and signaled Zhuang Mingxu to follow him.
Zhuang Mingxu also moved away flexibly, and when he looked back, he saw several rabbits rubbing their ears with a beautifully furred fox. Their intimate look was like the whispers between lovers, and the different sounds between species did not affect communication at all.
Even though he had heard of it before, Zhuang Mingxu still felt a sense of horror at this moment.
He stopped and looked around, as if he had stepped into an unknown and strange area.
Wu Yue, who was leading the way, suddenly turned around and punched Zhuang Mingxu in the chest with such force that Zhuang Mingxu couldn't help but wonder if he had offended him in some way recently.
Covering his chest and looking up, he saw Wu Yue, who was also wearing a mental shielding device, with an anxious look on his face, typing hurriedly on his phone, "Are you okay? Don't you see anything weird? 】
Zhuang Mingxu didn’t know whether what he had just seen counted or not, so he shook his head and signaled him to continue walking.
Ten minutes later, a simple house came into sight. Wu Yue walked up to it with his key, opened the door as if he knew the place well, pushed it open and entered. He saw the person lying on the bed at a glance - it was his boyfriend whom he had been thinking about all the time.
Zhuang Mingxu took a few steps forward and saw Lu Weiyi's face, which was so thin that only a layer of skin was left. There was a tube inserted in his nose with a syringe next to it. It was obviously a gastric tube.
There were two plastic bags hanging next to the bed, one filled with yellow liquid medicine and the other filled with liquid feces.
Zhuang Mingxu's heart felt like someone was squeezing it tightly. The pain was so severe that he could hardly stand. His vision gradually became blurred. He bent over and bit his fingers hard to prevent himself from losing composure.
Wu Yue, however, was already used to it. He quickly opened the box he had brought, sucked the warm green paste inside into the syringe, and injected it into the catheter.
After a while, the injection was completed. He quickly emptied the urine bag and feces bag, rinsed them, and put them back.
He patted Zhuang Mingxu on the shoulder, indicating that it was time for him to leave.
Zhuang Mingxu turned to look at Lu Weiyi. His calm face showed no emotion. He lay there quietly as if...
Like dead.
He went forward and wanted to touch him and feel his still warm body temperature, but Wu Yue grabbed him and dragged him outside.
The psychic's strength is extremely great. If it were Zhuang Mingxu's physique in the past, it would not be a problem for him to resist Wu Yue, but now he has almost no strength to fight back.
Avoiding the roaming mutant animals along the way, they successfully returned to the warning sign.
Taking off the mental shield, Wu Yue looked at the distraught Zhuang Mingxu, "Are you okay? Are you affected in any way?"
Zhuang Mingxu took several deep breaths to ease the sour feeling in his throat, and waved his hand, "I'm fine."
Wu Yue was afraid that he would feel bad, so he never told him the details of Lu Weiyi's situation.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhuang Mingxu quickly recovered his composure, patted Wu Yue on the shoulder, and the two walked towards the base.
"We're family, why are you being so polite?" Wu Yuedian said, holding the shielding device in his hand, "This thing is much better than the last one. Twenty-five minutes was the limit last time. This time I was afraid you couldn't keep up, so I slowed down. It delayed you for more than thirty minutes, but surprisingly, nothing happened."
"Let them keep improving." Zhuang Mingxu looked at the bag Wu Yue was holding, "What is that food?"
"The meat of mutated animals, high-level animal meat with high energy, is mixed with vegetables and mashed into a paste to prevent constipation... Now it is just to maintain vital signs."
Zhuang Mingxu nodded, and when he reached the back door of the temporary base, he turned around and asked hesitantly, "I saw... a lot of animals before..."
"That's also a mutated animal affected by mental power. We will go and clean it up every once in a while." Wu Yue said this with a smile on his face, "Li Zhuang used flesh and blood to attract an S-level mutant rhinoceros over, and took the opportunity to kill it when it was unconscious."
"You are really amazing..."
"You know what, the effect is quite good. If there were enough mental shielding devices, I would have asked them to attract more mutant animals to obtain crystal cores."
"You didn't react even after being killed?"
"...Yes, when they are seriously injured or on the verge of death, they will wake up from the illusion." This is what they discovered through experiments on the mutant rhinoceros.
"Li Zhuang suggested trying it on Lu Weiyi before, but they were stopped by the psychics here. They said that the reason why the mental power didn't attack them when they got close was because they didn't sense the danger. Once they had this idea and it was captured by Lu Weiyi's mental power, the surrounding mental power might act on one person, and there would be no guarantee that they would have a chance to get close in the future."
Lu Weiyi's body functions need someone to maintain them. For the time being, they cannot break this balance and can only give up.
"You mean, Xiaoyi's mental power can capture our consciousness?"
"That's what the psychics said, but the details..." Wu Yue shrugged. No one could explain it clearly.
The two returned to the base. Zhou He's people had already taken over the management. They checked with the previous defense personnel to check the situation of the base. When they saw Wu Yue, they immediately stepped forward to ask, "Where are Zheng Jun and the others? Why haven't they come back yet?"
Zheng Jun and his entourage led the team out to fight and improve their supernatural powers. It was almost dark today, and there was still no movement. Zhou He couldn't help but feel anxious.
"They went to the southwest, and they will return when Zheng Jun is satisfied with the upgrade of his men's superpowers."
Zhou He's mouth twitched when he heard Wu Yue's words. He looked towards the southwest, and all he saw was dense jungle and thick piles of fallen leaves on the ground. If he were to travel in the wild at this time, the invisible traps under his feet would be enough to be fatal. He sighed, "This is also a ruthless person."
Zheng Jun and his entourage as well as Li Zhuang had not returned, so the plane could not return immediately and had to stay in Laoshan and wait.
Zhuang Mingxu followed Wu Yue to where Lu Weiyi was several times, and then started to act alone.
As long as you maintain your original mind within the range covered by mental power, there will be no danger. As an ordinary person, Zhuang Mingxu only needs to pay attention to avoiding those animals immersed in beautiful dreams and will not be harmed.
At first, he followed Wu Yue's experiment and only dared to go there once a day. After finding that there was nothing abnormal with his body, he gradually began to increase the length of his stay and the number of times he went there.
Finally, within the limits of my physical ability, I limited the duration of each trip to 45 minutes, and increased the number of times I could go to twice a day.
Excluding the time spent on the journey, they only had half an hour of contact a day. Even so, Zhuang Mingxu felt satisfied.
After several months of wind and sun, the little prince who had been raised in such a pampered state looked haggard. His overlong hair was tangled and dirty with no one to take care of it, and his face was covered with marks of rain and dirt that had naturally splashed on it. In order to facilitate the urinary and fecal catheters, his clothes were only casually covering his private parts.
The time available for contact was too tight, and Wu Yue and his companions were unable to take care of these details.
"I don't know if you will be angry and refuse to recognize me when you wake up and see your new hairstyle."
"The last time you were shaved bald was when you were five years old. You cried so loudly that no matter how Grandpa Lu tried to comfort you, it wouldn't work. I hope you won't cry again this time."
"But it's okay to cry. I...I will always comfort you..."
Zhuang Mingxu looked at the thick dirt on his scalp that looked like calluses, and his heart felt as if it was stuffed with a ball of cotton.
"What do you regret?"
Zhuang Mingxu rested his forehead against Lu Weiyi's, as if he wanted to enter his thoughts in this way.
"What's so hard for you to let go?"
He asked quietly, but received no answer.
It took Zhuang Mingxu two days to shave and clean Lu Weiyi's upper body. Lying flat all the time caused permanent indentations on the skin and flesh at the bone joints on his back, and even bedsores in some places, with signs of ulceration.
Zhuang Mingxu could only apply hot compress and massage him at the same time. After cleaning his arm, he saw the cluster of grass ring growing out of the skin and flesh between his wrists.
The emerald green grass leaves were like jade, without any signs of withering.
Thinking that Taotao could control this thing, plus the space it was connected to, Zhuang Mingxu was delighted, and he gently pulled it and called, "Taotao?"
"Taotao? Can you hear me?"
"Taotao?"
There was no response. Just when Zhuang Mingxu was frustrated and ready to give up, an extremely thin stem snaked around his fingers. It was a tender yellow stem, like a newborn. He was too fragile to move.
"Taotao? Is that you?" Zhuang Mingxu was surprised.
"Can you come out? Can you leave this space?"
The little tender branches wrapped around him didn't answer, but just wrapped around his fingertips affectionately and rubbed them constantly, as if they were acting coquettishly.
Zhuang Mingxu muttered to himself for a long time and decided that there was no other way. Seeing that the time was almost up, he had to leave.
Every time he came, he would always call Taotao to come along. Except for not being able to speak, the little green branch could cooperate with him in many actions and would even help him get things from Lu Weiyi's space.
After Xiao Luzhi took the wrong off-road vehicle and truck, she finally gave him a small electric car. Since then, Zhuang Mingxu's commuting time has been shortened a lot.
