Chapter 521: Supporting Newcomers
Wu Yue was extremely generous. He took out 10,000 purification crystal cores from the space and gave them to Zhao Yu. "This is our base's thanks to you two for your trip. When our base commander is successfully upgraded, he will come to thank you in person."
Although Zhao Yu was dissatisfied with having to stay here for a month, he immediately lost his temper when he saw the pile of crystal cores that could crush him to death. He sublimated the friendship between the two parties with a very friendly attitude and took Dong Xiaoxiao onto the plane in a happy mood.
Compared to Zhao Yu, the thing given to Eric was only a palm-sized bag. Eric felt it and looked surprised. Inside was two A-grade spirit crystal cores and three A-grade water crystal cores.
For high-level psychics like them, ordinary crystal cores can only be regarded as circulating currency. If they want to upgrade, they still need higher-level crystal cores, especially crystal cores with corresponding attributes, which are hard to come by.
"I hope we can have pleasant cooperation in the future," Wu Yue said meaningfully as he shook hands with Eric.
"Of course, Hunter has always been Yuebanwan's most loyal partner." Hunter is the hunting team of mutants formed by Eric with the secret support of Yuebanwan.
Wu Yue kept a friendly look on his face as he watched the plane take off and disappear from his sight. Only then did the smile that was almost hanging on his face fade away.
The rest became members of the base army. Wu Yue waved his hand to let everyone be alert, climbed up a tall tree in three or two steps, and looked at the figure in the distance that was almost buried by weeds with a telescope.
The area covered by the mental power was decreasing over time, and its intensity was also weakening, but it was still not something they could resist.
As the mutant animals died, new ones kept entering. Now they were getting closer and closer to Lu Weiyi. Those who had entered with bad intentions had long since turned into dry bones, and their flesh had been eaten clean by insects. From a distance, it looked like a burial ground.
Wu Yue sighed, not knowing what solution Zhuang Mingxu had come up with.
**
Autumn is the harvest season. Everyone in the farmland of Yuebanwan is rushing to harvest, creating a lively scene.
After receiving the news that Antonio had woken up, Zhuang Mingxu went to the underground laboratory again.
With the joint efforts of Zhuang Mobai and Shen Xiuyin, and with the help of psychics, they have now developed the first generation of shielding equipment that can resist the erosion of mental power. However, it is not easy for psychics to upgrade, and their base is not of a high level now, so they are unable to confirm whether this thing is effective on Lu Weiyi.
"Your aesthetic taste is really bad. Can't you design a nice style? This is the nth time I have seen a helmet like this?" Zhuang Mingxu, who had become increasingly taciturn, looked at yet another helmet and complained. Before, it was the helmet that controlled the crystal core energy of zombies, and later it was still the helmet that reduced the zombie energy in the body of the psychic. Later, it was simplified into a headband for ease of carrying, but now it is the same again.
"The crystal core is located in the brain, and mental attacks also affect the brain, so this is naturally the first place to be protected." Zhuang Mobai's temperament did not change at all. A life without seeing people did not cause any impact on him at all. He even felt a lot more relaxed because he did not have to worry about the sources of various experimental materials.
Shen Xiuyin picked up the helmet to help Zhuang Mingxu adjust it, and bluntly said "It's fine as long as it works" to stop Zhuang Mingxu from continuing to speak.
"You want to try it yourself?" Zhuang Mobai looked at Zhuang Mingxu suspiciously. After sizing him up, his eyes flashed. I don't know what he thought of, so he asked, "Did you fall out with Lu Weiyi? Are you starting to be wary of him?"
Zhuang Mingxu didn't even look at him. After debugging, he said to several psychics who were cooperating in the experiment, "Let's start."
After staying in the laboratory for a day, Zhuang Mingxu left the laboratory with a pale face as if he had been tortured by mental power, and immediately started vomiting.
The equipment was still in the experimental stage, which was quite difficult for an ordinary person like him who had no resistance to mental power to operate. He barely left the laboratory relying on his strong willpower. The dizzy feeling could no longer support him, and Zhuang Mingxu fell into a pool of vomit.
Li Qing, who came to see Lin Yimu after get off work, saw him and strode over to support him, "You..."
The buzzing sound in his ears made it impossible for him to tell who the person was. Zhuang Mingxu closed his eyes tightly, then opened them again and recognized Li Qing, waving at him.
"fine".
Li Qing didn't listen to him, quietly buried the vomit on the ground, took the person to the backyard, gave him a simple wash, and then put him on the lounge chair under the pavilion.
Even when his legs were broken, he had never been so embarrassed. His tone was a little aggressive, "What are you researching? There are so many psychics, aren't there enough for experiments?"
Zhuang Mingxu drank ice water and gradually regained consciousness. He argued with Li Qing, "Everyone is equal. How can we let others do experiments?"
Li Qing looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Don't talk nonsense to me."
Knowing that this was unpleasant, Zhuang Mingxu stopped talking and remained silent for a long time before asking, "Li Qing, what do you think about the separation of military and political affairs in the base?"
"Haven't they always been separate?" Lu Weiyi has always been the head of the military department, while Zhuang Mingxu is in charge of all matters outside the military department.
"I mean a complete division of power?" Now their base seems to be separated, but everyone knows that without Lu Weiyi, the entire base, both military and political, will obey Zhuang Mingxu's orders. And because of his relationship with Lu Weiyi, the actual division of power is not very obvious, and they will even interfere in each other's affairs.
Li Qing was sensitive enough to sense the different meanings. Thinking about Zhuang Mingxu's actions over the past month, he looked at Zhuang Mingxu and asked, "Do you want to support a new manager?"
"Yes," Zhuang Mingxu said without hesitation, "Ning Yuan and the others have been rescued now, and they will not be far from recovery."
He turned to look at Li Qing and said seriously, "I want to go to Laoshan to take a look."
"You're crazy, over there..."
Zhuang Mingxu raised his hand to interrupt Li Qing's words, "Our base only looks stable now. The excessive reproduction of mutant animals in the surrounding area has affected the stability of the nearby ecological environment. A few days ago, the personnel stationed outside reported that the animals have formed groups."
Seeing Li Qing's puzzled expression, Zhuang Mingxu emphasized, "I am referring to some animals that originally had independent habits, such as tigers and leopards."
"I suspect that they have the awareness to use crystal cores to upgrade their levels. The news says that some carnivorous animals have begun to consciously hunt animals, not to fill their stomachs, but just to eat their heads."
"You mean their IQ has improved?" Li Qing felt a chill down his spine when he heard that.
"I'm not sure. It's also possible that the profit-seeking instinct makes them think that eating the brain is beneficial. But who can guarantee that the effect of animals eating the crystal cores of their own species will be the same as humans eating the crystal cores of mutants?" As one of the few places in the mainland where reproduction is not restricted, if this continues, I wonder how many high-level mutant animals will be born.
These mutated animals may set their sights on the base that came with ill intentions, and are more likely to target Yueban Bay.
"And now the zombie army has started to move again, and some bases have sought support from the Kyoto base. We don't know when they may contact us."
When we agreed to it before, there was Lu Weiyi, the number one superpower user, in charge of Yueban Bay, so if we wanted support, it would just be a matter of saying a word. But given the current situation, if we go, we're worried that our base will be raided, but not going would also be unreasonable.
Li Qing's expression was inevitably grim. "Can they organize teams from so many bases?"
"I heard that Zheng Yi has been in seclusion to improve his abilities..."
"Improve your abilities?" Li Qing thought of the warning that was circulating internally, "What problems will arise if we continue to upgrade?"
"I don't know either," Zhuang Mingxu shook his head. "Xiao Yi felt something was wrong at the time and wanted to tell you after he succeeded. Who knew..."
The accident happened so suddenly.
"Zheng Yi didn't believe it at first glance."
"Given his previous behavior, I guess he's afraid of our revenge."
"At most we will distance ourselves from the Zheng family. Does he think we will retaliate?" Li Qing was speechless.
"The estrangement from Yueban Bay means the obstruction of instruments and the restriction of crystal core purification, which in turn leads to the improvement of the capabilities of the team members. Why do you think all the bases are turning their greedy eyes on us?" Zheng Yi just doesn't want the team to fall from its current status. If he were him, he would make the same choice as him if he had such strength.
Zhuang Mingxu himself is such a person, so it is effortless to understand.
"Now there is news that he is about to upgrade. Some teams are beginning to take the Zheng family as their leader and plan to hold a meeting to ask Yuebanwan to share some technology and information..."
"You're dreaming!" Li Qing gritted his teeth. They had worked so hard to get to where they are now. There were so many ordinary people in the base, and the development had to rely on the few people with special abilities. Now he wants to reap the rewards just by talking. How could that be possible?
"It's just some rumors, it may not be accurate." Zhuang Mingxu patted Li Qing on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down. "This is only under the premise that he has not succeeded yet. If he succeeds in upgrading, the situation that awaits us will only become more difficult."
"Moreover, the zombie army is attacking, and the mutant creatures are gathering in the sea..."
Zhuang Mingxu sighed. He knew all the difficulties the base would soon face, but he still chose to leave. This made him feel a little sorry for his teammates who were fighting side by side with him.
"Feel sorry".
Li Qing sensed what he wanted to say and stared at him for a long time, "You want to go find him?"
Zhuang Mingxu listened to the sound of waves hitting the beach and looked at the sea and sky meeting in the distance. His tense brows softened. "If there is anyone in this world that he can't let go of, it should be me and the children."
He couldn't let Zhuang Aiyi take the risk, so he had to go by himself.
For better or worse, he was prepared from the beginning.
"You--" Li Qing opened his mouth for a long time, not knowing how to persuade.
Zhuang Mingxu, who had recovered, stood up and stretched his muscles, then brought the topic back to the topic, "Who in our team do you think is suitable to be assigned to the government?"
