Chapter 892: Delivered to your door
Lu Xiao led a few people towards the study. There was a heavy bookcase on the ceiling with books neatly arranged. At a glance, Lu Weiyi also found several original rare books that Zhuang Mingxu had once treasured, which were very well preserved.
He walked forward, took it out and put it into his own space, without any embarrassment for occupying it. This kind of situation was common in the end times, and other people didn't think it was a big deal.
Lu Xiao waited until he had taken everything and reminded him, "Take them all away, it's a waste to keep them."
Lu Weiyi immediately emptied the entire bookshelf and stood next to Lu Xiao. He saw that behind the half-destroyed wall, there was a small room hidden behind the bookshelf that looked like a simple laboratory.
On one side of the wall there were shelves, but what was placed on them were either various instruments or bottles and jars. On the other side was an operating table, and next to it were various thick documents,
"This is what he did for the laboratory." Lu Xiao handed the top book, which looked like an observation diary, to Lu Weiyi. "The people there appeared last winter. I speculate that Xiuyuan might have been captured and controlled by them for some reason and became their spy here."
"Everything here is aimed at Wei Minglang. They have set their target on Wei Minglang since the beginning of the year. I don't know the specific reason, but they have only started to implement it in recent months." Lu Xiao said this with a subtle look on his face.
"So, it's not that others stole our things, but that we wanted to rob others but failed?" Ning Yuan summed up, and combined with the several booklets placed on the table, everyone suddenly felt less angry.
However, when Qin Jin heard what they said, he immediately stepped forward and started reading it from the beginning.
It records everything Xiuyuan did for them, including but not limited to using various drugs and instruments with unknown effects on Wei Minglang.
With the detailed observation diary, the few people gained new insights into the unexplained instruments on the table, and they also found the liquid found in the cave, which was a spray with hallucinogenic effects that worked on both humans and zombies.
The miniature instrument they discovered was just a very simple sound wave instrument. They calculated that the sound waves of this channel combined with the hallucinogenic spray can affect all living things and can even be effective against some mutated plants.
"The subjects of their experiments have always been zombies, and their levels have been constantly rising, but they were stuck at Wei Minglang. They concluded that the SSS level is a threshold."
"Through their research, they discovered that beings above the SSS level are completely beyond the scope of human beings. The effects of human scientific instruments and drugs on them have undergone qualitative changes, and most of them have little effect. This makes them more and more interested in Wei Minglang."
After that, they started conducting experiments directly on Wei Minglang. It can be said that although they did not have direct contact with Wei Minglang, through Xiu Yuan, they had indirectly used Wei Minglang as their experimental subject.
Looking at these interlocking experiments, Lu Weiyi broke out in a cold sweat. It was hard to imagine how Wei Minglang would be treated if Xiu Yuan really handed him over to them.
He turned his head to look at Qin Jin and found that Qin Jin's face was terrifyingly gloomy. Perhaps it was because of others and himself that he felt a sense of danger. Lu Weiyi's eyes were unconsciously filled with pity, thinking that even if he became a zombie, he would not be able to live in peace.
Qin Jin noticed his gaze and turned to look at him and suddenly smiled, "Pity me?"
Before Lu Weiyi could say anything, he turned to the last page of the notebook in his arms and stuffed it into his arms. He tapped it heavily with a finger. Looking in the direction of his finger, it was clearly written, "This is the situation of SSS-level zombies. I wonder what SSS-level psychics will look like?" 】
And at the bottom of these words, the three words "Lu Weiyi" were written in large letters.
Lu Weiyi's face instantly darkened. There have been many people who have been targeting him since the end of the world, but few of them wanted to use him for experiments. This made him feel like being stared at by a poisonous snake, making him feel both nauseous and creepy.
He put the notebook into the space, took away everything in the room, and looked at Lu Xiao, "Uncle, how long will it take to clean up the battlefield here?"
"At the current rate, it will take one day."
"How many people are still at the temporary rest area?"
"As soon as this is over, I asked them all to come over. We are outside and it is not easy for people to disperse."
Lu Weiyi nodded, feeling more and more satisfied with Lu Xiao's arrangement. "How do they take turns to rest? I'll check on everyone to see if they've had the same experience as Ai Ping."
"It's a three-shift shift, and some team members should be sleeping at this time. Go find Cong Qing and ask him to take you directly there."
"OK".
Lu Weiyi led his men to find Cong Qing quickly, and the rest of the people continued to clean up the battlefield.
After a check, Lu Weiyi did not find the other party's existence in everyone's consciousness, but found out that eight of their team members were missing, and they were all Ji Zheng's men.
"This is a small team. They were still there when the battle ended. We haven't seen them since the second round of cleaning up the battlefield." Ji Zheng came over with a serious look on his face. "When it was their turn to rest, they didn't come back. I sent people to look for them, but they couldn't find them."
Cong Qing held the map and asked Ji Zheng to point out the location, while he mobilized people to be ready to go look for people at any time.
Ji Zheng simply wrote a few locations on the map, looked up at Lu Weiyi who was listening to someone report the spoils, and said, "Base commander, could you please make a trip? I don't think something is right. These are all old people who have followed me, and three of them are S-level psychics. They will not make such a mistake unless they encounter a situation that is difficult to escape."
"How about I send an SS-level psychic? The base commander needs this place to prevent anyone from doing anything bad," Cong Qing asked.
Ji Zheng didn't say anything. In fact, Lu Weiyi really didn't want to go. He hadn't had a rest since the beginning. He couldn't be said to be listless, but he was a little tired.
Seeing that Ji Zheng didn't say anything, he turned around and asked, "What do you suspect?"
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. I'm just worried that we're being targeted," Ji Zheng said. "The place they went to before was a bit remote. When I asked people to look for them, we found their past traces, but they seemed to have disappeared silently, without leaving any traces around."
Having said that, Lu Weiyi didn't know what to say, especially since Ji Zheng and his group were going out together for the first time. Combat casualties were acceptable, but if something happened because of him, it would easily affect other teams as well.
Lu Weiyi stood up and stretched his muscles. Ning Yuan, who had his back to them, touched him calmly. He glanced in the direction of Ji Zheng and made a gesture. Lu Weiyi paused and asked about the details as if nothing had happened. At the same time, his mental power probed over calmly.
As soon as his mental power sank in, he discovered signs that the other party's consciousness had been hinted. It was not very obvious, and perhaps even Ji Zheng himself did not feel it.
He nodded towards Ning Yuan, whose eyes widened in surprise. In this situation, it was theoretically reasonable for Ji Zheng to come for help and hope that the base commander would come forward to help. He was just on guard, but he didn't expect that the other party would dare to come to his door when their entire team was checking.
"Since you are worried, the base commander and I will go with you. We are all members of the base, and this is the time for the base commander to do his best. You can rest assured that the team members are fine, and we can also rest assured." Ning Yuan said it very beautifully, which made Ji Zheng, who was originally nervous, feel relieved and kept saying thank you.
"Base commander, you haven't had a rest. What the major general means is..." Cong Qing just came out and saw Lu Weiyi and Ning Yuan looking back at him at the same time and winking at him. He immediately understood.
"It doesn't matter at this moment, human life is more important," Lu Weiyi said, patting his shoulder and saying meaningfully, "I'm counting on you here."
"Don't worry, I will arrange everything," Cong Qing also assured.
"With Antonio staying here and Qin Jin in charge, there will definitely be no problem." Ning Yuan dispelled Ji Zheng's worries. The two of them had just gone out with Ji Zheng's team when Fang Tang followed and said he wanted to go and take a look.
Looking at the five children who followed him, Lu Weiyi stood still for a long time without saying a word.
"We are different from other children. We have experienced such battles countless times during the training stage. Base commander, you don't have to treat us as ordinary children." Fang Tang looked serious, and his straight posture had the appearance of a soldier as Zhou He had, and even the remaining four carrot heads were like this.
"Let's go and see for ourselves, base commander. Uncle Zhou said that our combat awareness is very good, but we need actual combat and the experience that can only be gained in actual combat." The youngest, Li Jing, looked up at him, his pair of big dark eyes full of determination.
"If you want to go, follow me, but obey orders. Also, be prepared to die at any time in battle," Ning Yuan said first without waiting for Lu Weiyi to speak.
Lu Weiyi frowned but did not refute. It was not until the five children cheered and took their backpacks that he asked Ning Yuan the reason.
"A few kids have been looking for opportunities to get close to you in the past few days, but you either didn't go out or went out so often that you never encountered them."
Lu Weiyi looked at him in confusion, and Ning Yuan explained, "Do you think they really want to experience something? They just want to show their presence in front of you so that you don't forget about them and their families are waiting for you in the base."
Ning Yuan felt sad about the clumsy ways of these little rascals, but there was nothing he could do. The world today was too cruel and their experiences were pitiful, but he could not give up more important things just because they were pitiful. All he could do was to try to help.
"It's not easy to raise a few children," Ji Zheng sighed and asked when Lu Weiyi would return to the base.
"There are still some things to deal with regarding the future of the base." Lu Weiyi didn't say anything specific, and Ji Zheng understood and didn't ask any more questions.
After a few kids came over and the group quickly walked out, he asked Fangtang, "Did you participate in the training at the base?"
"Well, Uncle Zhou said that we are good candidates and can serve as the base army's reserve force and make contributions to the base in the future."
The minimum age limit for selection of the base army is fifteen. Several of them are under the age limit and cannot get in at all. However, they have the same superpowers and have been in the team for a long time and do not want to be separated, so they participate in the training together. Fang Tang is worried that this situation will bring trouble to Zhou He who sent them in, so he tries hard to say good things.
"It's okay, it's good for ordinary people to train more." Lu Weiyi didn't care. He had discussed with Zhuang Mingxu about the situation where everyone in the base was mobilized, but at that time everyone had to have enough manpower and energy to devote to planting. Now that there are more people in the base, it may be more difficult to implement it.
However, according to the current development trend, if the overall physical fitness of the people in the base is improved, I think they will be able to better resist unknown changes in the future.
A few people were chatting as they were led by Ji Zheng towards a deep depression created by a shell.
"There used to be a lot of holes here, like underground escape passages that were dug out. Our previous artillery attacks blew this place up, and some zombies fled in this direction. Cong Qing sent people to track them, and later sent a lot of people here to clean up."
Ji Zheng said this and strode down.
Ning Yuan observed the surroundings along the way. Compared with the urban area, this place was already similar to the suburbs. It would not take more than an hour to travel there at full speed. It was hard to imagine that someone would disappear at such a close distance.
"Are you sure this is the place?" Ning Yuan looked at Ji Zheng who was walking in with his head down and a worried look on his face, and his steps were hesitant.
"Sure, there are traces they left inside." Ji Zheng turned around to look at them, his anxiety not seeming fake.
Lu Weiyi directly took out the energy detector from the space. After debugging, he found several energy light balls crowded together at the bottom, exactly eight in number.
"It seems we are not in the wrong place, this is really the place." Ji Zheng became more and more excited when he saw it.
Lu Weiyi took out a thermal imaging camera slowly and took a picture. He found that the ground below was empty and there was no trace of any mutant animals.
The excitement on Ji Zheng's face froze in place. After a long while, he wiped his face and forced a smile towards Lu Weiyi, "Base Commander, I'll go down and take a look."
"Goodbye," Ning Yuan put his arm around Sun Tao's shoulder, "Let's just dig up the ground and see what kind of monsters are underneath."
"This... isn't this too bad?" Ji Zheng was stunned.
"We don't live here, so what's wrong with that? Besides, the worst that can happen is we can seal it off again after checking. We are capable of doing so." Ning Yuan did not move forward. "It looks unpleasant to see the darkness down there. What if we go in and get buried? That would be a big loss."
"But……"
"But this is the best way. Just lift up the roof and you can see what's going on underneath at a glance. You don't have to go down in the dark to find someone to help you."
