Chapter 813: Zhao Qiang Disappears
"You also didn't take good care of it..."
Qin Jin's voice was still hoarse, and there were slight pauses between his words, but it was much better than the stuttering Liu Rui.
"Who gave you the illusion that I can control him?" Lu Weiyi was surprised, as if he had said something strange, which made Qin Jin not know how to respond for a moment.
Lu Weiyi calmly picked up the teacup on the table and smelled it, "Good tea. Zhuang Mingxu also likes to drink this recently. Do you have any more? Give us some."
"..." Qin Jin.
A speechless expression appeared on his paralyzed face. After a while, he looked at him with complicated eyes and asked, "Are you not going to take care of him?"
Ning Yuan next to him had already started a fight with the leading zombie. Both of them had water-related abilities, and as they fought back and forth, more and more zombies around them were implicated. Even ice knives attacked the two of them, but they were either blocked by Lu Weiyi's mental power or melted by Qin Jin's high-temperature fire flow.
Lu Weiyi gave him a look that said "what a joke" and poured himself another cup of hot tea, with no intention of interfering at all.
Until Qin Jin couldn't help it anymore and said to that side, "Okay, Ayuan."
Ning Yuan stiffened instantly, and the murderous power in his hands gradually dissipated. At the same time, his hands kept shaking and his eyes gradually turned red.
"Cheng Qi, stop it too."
"Okay, Wang," the leading zombie immediately stopped and responded in a low voice.
Lu Weiyi was amused by the title, but knowing that the situation did not allow it, he could only lower his head and try his best to hide his laughter.
Qin Jin glanced at him and looked at Ning Yuan, who was standing straight and motionless.
"Sit down." Qin Jin reached out to pull the stool, but Cheng Qi pulled it away first.
Ning Yuan took a deep breath and calmed down for a while, then sat in front of him, as if he had a thousand words to say, but when they looked at each other, only tears could not help but flow.
They were once best brothers, comrades who fought side by side, but now they have completely become different species.
The impermanence of the world perfectly illustrates this moment.
"I'm fine," Qin Jin took the initiative to say, pouring a cup of tea for Ning Yuan.
However, this concluding sentence did not make Ning Yuan feel good. He grabbed the teacup without saying a word, and was stopped by a hand just before he was about to drink it.
There was no indication of Lu Weiyi's thoughts on his face, but his actions showed it clearly.
He was clear about his own level, and no matter what Qin Jin did, it would not affect him. But Ning Yuan was different.
The zombie energy at Qin Jin's level means that he will be transformed instantly.
Although he didn't say a word, both of them understood what he meant. Qin Jin was speechless, and Ning Yuan didn't say anything either. He just opened his hand and drank it all in one gulp.
“You’ve changed a lot.”
Qin Jin said this to Lu Weiyi.
"I'm not having a good life." Lu Weiyi sighed and said something completely opposite to Qin Jin's, leaving Qin Jin at a loss as to how to respond for a moment.
They were not familiar with each other to begin with, it was only because of Zhuang Mingxu and his previous psychological condition that they had more contact.
Seeing that Ning Yuan was fine, Lu Weiyi felt that it was unnecessary for him to sit here. "How much of your memory have you recovered?"
“Most of it has recovered.”
"Then...you guys can reminisce about the past, or should I ask Zhuang Mingxu to come as well?"
"Don't," Ning Yuan tried to stop him. Seeing Qin Jin looking at him, he explained, "Mingxu doesn't have any special abilities. He's just an ordinary person. With the current intensity of radiation outside, it's easy for something to get into trouble if he stays here. In the future... in the future..."
Ning Yuan couldn't continue. Thinking of their current identities, his eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
Qin Jin nodded to show his understanding and asked Lu Weiyi, "Where is Wu Yue? Why isn't he with you?"
"We got separated after we last met and haven't found each other yet."
Qin Jin was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and frowned, "So long?"
"I've been busy lately, I'll go look for them later."
The few of them chatted casually about what had happened recently, without mentioning the past. Ning Yuan's emotions gradually stabilized, and then they asked about the purpose of his visit.
"..." Qin Jin looked at Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi lowered his eyes and looked at the water cup, pretending not to know.
"?" Ning Yuan urged him heartlessly. Except for his uncontrollable emotions at the beginning, the way he faced Qin Jin at this time was no different from before, as if the person sitting in front of him was not the zombie king who commanded the zombie army, but still the brother who used to chat and rely on each other for life and death.
Qin Jin stroked the cup in his hand, as if hesitating. After a long while, he finally asked, "That h..."
"Do you want to see your parents?" Lu Weiyi interrupted his inquiry.
He knew that Qin Jin was thinking about that child. He saw the necklace on Qin Nian's neck, which contained a picture of him and Yin Jin when they were young.
But he didn't know what Yin Jin meant, and whether he wanted Qin Jin, who had turned into a zombie, to know about the existence of the child.
"I..." Qin Jin was in a daze.
"Yes, I forgot to tell you. My uncle and aunt have been living in our base. My uncle has awakened the earth-related ability, and my aunt is an ordinary person. They both work in the nursery in the base and are in good health." Ning Yuan chattered on and on about the situation of Qin's father and mother.
Lu Weiyi observed Qin Jin's reaction calmly, and finally found that this man had changed - his emotions seemed a little indifferent.
As far as he knew, Qin Jin was an only child, his parents were both highly educated, and the family relationship had always been harmonious.
Under such circumstances, how could I not ask about my parents' situation in the last few years of the end of the world? Now that I hear about it, it is not so indifferent.
"Thank you for your care."
"What are you talking about? Why are you so polite?" Ning Yuan punched him on the arm, causing the zombies behind Qin Jin to move, as if they were preparing to come up and bite him.
Ning Yuan couldn't feel it, but Lu Weiyi could clearly sense that Qin Jin was using invisible pressure to intimidate these people.
He was a little curious about what submission meant to the zombies, but seeing Ning Yuan's attitude of avoiding each other's surprise, he knew it was not appropriate to ask now.
Xu Sa and his companions on the periphery were getting anxious as they had been waiting for some news but to no avail. After discussing it, they fired warning shots.
"Oh no, it should be Xu Sa. I asked him to wait for news outside." Ning Yuan slapped his forehead and said, "Captain, can you go and take a look?"
Leave him alone among the zombies?
Lu Weiyi looked at him, and Ning Yuan seemed not to know what he meant. He clasped his hands together and made a gesture of request.
"You guys chat." He stood up and looked at Qin Jin. "Do you want to eat? We have been traveling all day and haven't had time to eat."
"Can".
"Then let's have some wine." Ning Yuan leaned close to him, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "Mingxu has a collection of fine wine, do you want to come?"
His eyes were shining, just like when they were doing bad things together in the army. Qin Jin couldn't help but smile, "Okay."
Ning Yuan immediately turned to look at Lu Weiyi, giving a silent hint.
"What's so good about something so spicy?" Lu Weiyi complained but still did not object.
After a few steps, he pointed to a group of psychics sitting around and asked Qin Jin, "Are you planning to detain these people?"
Qin Jin shook his head, "Take them away if you want." He said to Cheng Qi, "Go and control them, don't hurt anyone."
"Okay, Wang." Cheng Qi followed Lu Weiyi respectfully without saying a word.
"Xu Sa and the others are outside. You guys pack up and go meet up with them," Lu Weiyi said to Antonio and the others.
"Captain of the Land Forces, what about us?"
"Can we go too?"
"Yes, together," Lu Weiyi replied.
While the others were packing up, Golden Eagle and Antonio came over and asked about the situation in Yueban Bay.
"We were attacked by two high-level mutant creatures, so we decided to move ahead of schedule." With Cheng Qi beside him, Lu Weiyi was not so clear.
However, when he stood near the coast and looked into the sea, he discovered that the giant mutant squid began to dissipate energy intermittently.
"Is this thing dead?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"No," the golden eagle replied, "Qi Lin went there two days ago and was attacked, but he has behaved himself now. I don't agree with the team staying here, what a pity..."
He glanced in the direction of Qin Jin and saw Ning Yuan talking to him happily. He leaned in and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"Maybe... just to catch up?" Lu Weiyi didn't know what to say, "Let's go out first. How's the situation in Kyoto?"
"Zhao Qiang is missing."
"What?"
"Zhao Qiang is missing," the golden eagle repeated, "the guard team is in complete chaos."
Because Lu Weiyi had previously judged in front of many bases that Zhao Qiang was using a superpower crystal core, and Zhao Qiang was controlled by the surging energy in his body at the time, he was unable to use his normal superpowers at all.
Under the deliberate instigation of Antonio and his group, the Zheng family army also began to target the escort team. Coupled with the disappearance of supplies, more and more people opposed Zhao Qiang.
"The fatal blow came from within the guard team. Someone discovered that the psychic crystal cores used by Zhao Qiang were all from internal team members. Some psychics who died in missions before were actually secretly dealt with by him." Golden Eagle sighed in regret. No one could have imagined that the man who once supported one of the three major forces in Kyoto would come to this point today.
Lieyan was suppressed, Zheng's army split, and the guards scattered. The three major forces in Kyoto have become what they are today.
"So what about Kyoto now...?"
"This is exactly the purpose of our visit. Kyoto was the former center, and some of its resources are unmatched by other bases. We discussed it and would like to ask you if you would like to recruit some highly educated talents?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Our current capabilities may not be enough to help so many people survive this crisis. Since you have a way out, can you win over these non-renewable talents, give them a chance to survive, and at the same time preserve our culture and technology as much as possible?"
Knowing that more people would consume more resources, and fearing that Lu Weiyi would disagree, Golden Eagle said bluntly, "Several research institutes in Kyoto are actually quite good. For example, the embryo cultivation technology proposed by the Zheng family before, and meteorological experts, they have all predicted the end time of this crisis."
Considering that there were conscious zombies in front of him, the golden eagle could not elaborate and could only nod and say, "It's true."
He smiled bitterly, "We really have no choice. Otherwise, this would be a good time for the flames to rise, and we would not want to let you take these people away."
