Chapter 745: Searching for a Base
Lu Weiyi didn't know what had happened to make him so crazy, but returning just after leaving was obviously giving the zombies an advantage, especially since the other party was Qin Jin's corpse. Lu Weiyi didn't want to have a head-on conflict with him now, so he was naturally unwilling to do so.
But he didn't know the reason why Cheng Chuan did this, and it was not easy for him to act on his own. Lu Weiyi could only command the Phoenix to climb over the hill that blocked the flood and fly to the other side.
The terrain of the other city is uneven, which has formed fixed channels for circulation on the ground, and there is still a place to stay in the high places.
Lu Weiyi found a collapsed building that was not flooded, and then let Phoenix put the two people and a group of mutant animals down.
"Thank you for saving me, but I...I..."
The first thing Cheng Chuan did after landing was to straighten his clothes. He immediately looked in the direction they were coming from. After making sure that it was correct, he turned around and looked at the person who saved him. The familiar face made him stop talking about what he was going to say next.
He felt that as a grown man, he shouldn't cry, but his eyes were really disobedient at this moment. He thought that he must have been eroded by the zombie energy for too long recently, and his control over his body had weakened.
"You...you..." Cheng Chuan covered his eyes for a moment and then smiled again, "You're back?"
Just from this difficult greeting, Lu Weiyi guessed how difficult their situation was.
"I'm back. How's everyone?"
"..." Cheng Chuan opened his mouth for a long time, unable to utter a good word. But if he said bad, it didn't seem that bad. After a while, he finally said "so-so".
"How did you get into the zombie den? Did something fall there?" Lu Weiyi asked about the current situation first.
"Yes, they captured Qin Nian. Our people found out that they did not kill Qin Nian, but kept him among the zombies. I disguised myself as a zombie to find him," Cheng Chuan said and became anxious again.
"Then you don't have to go. Qin Nian is with me." Lu Weiyi met Cheng Chuan's surprised gaze and briefly told him about their encounter with Qin Nian.
The entire building where they were staying had collapsed, the original walls had become floors, and the windows were right above their heads. Without glass to block the view, heavy rain rushed in from time to time, and the two of them had to take shelter to one side to avoid getting wet.
Without Qin Nian's mission, Cheng Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, sat aside and asked about their situation.
"Fortunately, some things happened and we lost some manpower, but now it is temporarily stable," Lu Weiyi said and asked about the situation at the base.
Cheng Chuan let out a long breath. The pressure that had been weighing on him was gone, and he felt relaxed all over. However, his zombie look did not diminish at all.
"You are..." Lu Weiyi didn't know how to ask.
Cheng Chuan touched his cheek and forced a smile, "It's okay, just control yourself slowly."
"The base is now..." Cheng Chuan sighed, "You'll know when you go back and take a look."
"Can you find the way back? Wu Yue and I have been lost for a long time." Lu Weiyi asked about the most critical issue at the moment.
"Experts say that the magnetic field is changing and is very unfriendly to living things. Our base responded as soon as it was discovered and introduced an artificial magnetic field to protect the residents of the base..." Cheng Chuan paused here, with anxiety on his face, "Let's go back first. There have been a lot of bastards targeting our base recently."
"Can you find the way back?" Lu Weiyi stood up immediately.
"Yes," Cheng Chuan said as he took off his shoes. After lifting the insole, he found that there was a layer underneath. He carefully dug out a bunch of small parts. After fiddling with them for a while, a small instrument appeared in his hand. "This is the magnetic field meter launched by the research institute."
"We can use this to roughly measure the angle and direction of the daily changes in the magnetic field. After inference, we can roughly estimate the direction. The accuracy is not high and it is still a test product. The leader of the base gave it to me when I left. Now we can use this to find the way back," Cheng Chuan said, adjusted it for a moment, and said in another direction, "Let's go."
Lu Weiyi summoned the phoenix again without saying a word.
When he dragged the confused Cheng Chuan up, he saw the few small animals he brought with him immediately came up, as if waiting to "travel" together.
"..." Lu Weiyi, "Are you still waiting for me to support you? Go and make a living on your own."
Lu Weiyi stroked the head of the mutant leopard that was closest to him, and when he turned around, he found that his pants were pulled.
When he turned around, he saw the mutant leopard biting his pants with its teeth, and the mutant bat curled up on the ground was seriously injured due to running along the way. It didn't have the strength to get up at this time. It looked at him with a pair of rat eyes, silently revealing a kind of sadness of waiting for others to decide its fate.
A few days ago, it was so powerful that it could show off in front of him, but now it has become like this. It turns out that all things are equal in front of nature.
Lu Weiyi sighed, tied up the three again, and flew high into the sky.
Cheng Chuan couldn't see the creature under his butt, and he held the Phoenix tightly with both hands. He wanted to ask, but Yu Yu whistled and started to cough violently.
He carefully adjusted the instrument he was holding, constantly changing direction. After several hours, the moisture in the air brought with it the fishy smell of sea water. Through the heavy rain, Lu Weiyi saw the island not far away.
"Why is there only one island left in our base?" Lu Weiyi looked at the only island left opposite in disbelief.
"Yes--" Cheng Chuan responded loudly, "There was a tsunami in winter and all the other islands were flooded."
But there are quite a few earth-type mutants in the base, so it should be no problem to increase the height of the island. Lu Weiyi thought so, but didn't ask anything.
Just when Lu Weiyi was thinking about asking Fenghuang to take them directly in, he saw that the sea surface around the island was densely populated with people.
"The sea is full of people. Is it an exercise? Or some other activity?" Lu Weiyi asked.
Cheng Chuan's face changed drastically, "It must be those bastards in the Anti-Zombie Alliance. They have united to attack our base."
"?" Lu Weiyi.
The Anti-Zombie Alliance attacked their base?
Lu Weiyi once again felt as if he had not slept for just a winter, but perhaps for several years.
He found a nearby place to land and placed the several mutant animals that came with him on the ground.
"You guys play here, hide away, or you'll become someone else's food," Lu Weiyi warned them. He didn't know if the other party understood him or not, but as soon as he left, several others followed immediately.
Cheng Chuan looked at the mutant sheep and the leopard, two animals that obviously should never interact with each other, walking together harmoniously, with a kind of mutual support, and followed Lu Weiyi closely.
Cheng Chuan, who knew their relationship, sighed, "It's really not easy to give up the feeling of hugging someone's thigh."
"You can't follow me," Lu Weiyi turned around and repeated it again and again, and finally even used mental power to communicate, but none of them were willing to stop.
The situation at the base was unclear, and Lu Weiyi didn't want to waste time here, so he let them follow him for a while. Until he heard the sound of mutant bats falling heavily, he turned around and reluctantly put a few of them into the space.
"Let's go!" Without the burden, Lu Weiyi took action without distraction.
The two did not go directly towards the base, but under the leadership of Lu Weiyi, they walked towards another uninhabited cliff.
"Aren't we going to help the base?" Cheng Chuan didn't understand what he was going to do.
"We still don't know the situation at the base, and we won't be able to contact them even if we go there directly." After Lu Weiyi used the small green branch to explore for a while, his eyes lit up, "Let's go directly into the base."
"?" Before Cheng Chuan could react, he saw him jumping off the cliff in the heavy rain. He panicked and hurried forward. He saw huge waves hitting the bottom of the cliff, and Lu Weiyi descended little by little, and disappeared behind a protruding rock.
"Base Commander——!"
"Lu Weiyi?"
As Cheng Chuan finished speaking, he realized that something was binding him and taking him down the cliff. When he was about to fall into the waves, he saw a gap hidden in a huge rock. Lu Weiyi was standing there waiting for him.
It looks inconspicuous, like a naturally formed gap, but as you walk a little deeper, you can immediately see traces of carving.
"Be careful where you step. This place has been eroded by sea water for a long time, and some of the moss is very slippery." Lu Weiyi led the way in front. The road under his feet was not flat, and he occasionally needed to hold on to the wall to keep steady. Especially since they were moving in a downhill arc, they might roll down at any time if they were not careful.
"This is..." Cheng Chuan looked at the mountain and found that this was not a passage completely opened up by supernatural powers. The cracks in some places were so huge that they looked like cracks in the mountain.
"It's a crack caused by the earthquake. When we were reclaiming the land, we found that the geology was very hard. It would be a pity to fill it completely. After discussion, we re-carved it into an underground passage as a retreat route for the residents of the base in times of crisis."
"Be careful, we are going to enter the seabed ahead, the ventilation may not be good, and I'm not sure if it has been damaged during the winter." Lu Weiyi said this, but his steps did not pause at all.
Cheng Chuan followed behind him, looking around, and heard Lu Weiyi suddenly ask, "Can I ask a question?"
"you say".
Cheng Chuan thought he had something serious to ask, so he looked a little more serious. Then he said, "The pupils of zombies are so small, can they see anything?"
“……”Cheng Chuan.
At a time like this, shouldn't we consider the survival of the base, think of countermeasures, and arrange tasks?
Cheng Chuan was speechless for a long time, and replied resignedly, "I can see it, it's just slightly different from what human vision sees. I'll adapt to it once I get used to it."
"No wonder..." Lu Weiyi thought of the look that the ice-type leader zombie gave him at Qin Jin's lair.
Thinking about how all the functions of the zombies' bodies have disappeared but they can still maintain certain activities, Lu Weiyi couldn't help but sigh, "Zombies are indeed a magical species." No wonder they think they are the trend of the future.
They have a completely different way of survival.
