Chapter 861 Goodbye Qin Xing
Seeing everyone looking at him, Zheng Xian explained, "A piece of my flesh was torn off by the mutant dog, and a lot of blood was shed at that time."
So it's attracted to flesh and blood?
Lu Weiyi felt that instead of dwelling on these things, it would be more practical to think about the changes that had occurred to the zombies. There were a few more people with special powers along the way, so he hardly had to take action anymore. After he took the time to communicate with Zhuang Mingxu about the recent situation, the other party asked him pointedly if he had ever seen the appearance of humans after being irradiated.
"Has your village been affected by radiation?" Lu Weiyi asked Zheng Xian.
Zheng Xian shook his head, looking confused, "What impact will the radiation have?" After the first solar storm, they were completely cut off from the outside world, and had no idea what happened afterwards.
"...before, various diseases intensified and the mortality rate was very high. Studies have shown that the higher the level of superpowers, the stronger the resistance." Lu Weiyi did not specifically point out the situation in their village, and his meaning was already very clear.
Zheng Xian tried hard to recall and shook his head, "Mostly it's about birth, aging, sickness and death. We only go out during the specified time, and the rest of the time we live... at home."
There were zombies nearby, so he was very reserved and didn't tell the address.
Thinking of the pit they were in, which was nearly a thousand meters above the ground, Lu Weiyi seriously suspected that it had been affected by radiation. "Have you seen any changes there in the past year?"
Zheng Xian thought carefully, "The trees have grown much taller, does that count?"
“…Forget it.” After all, before the end of the world, the trees were not exceptionally tall unless they were of different species.
However, these are just guesses, and the specific details can only be confirmed after being measured with instruments. Speaking of this, Lu Weiyi remembered what Zhuang Mingxu said, that the embryo cultivation technology developed by the Zheng family was carried out here as the experimental object.
Suddenly realizing something was wrong, he turned his head to look at Zheng Xian and asked uncertainly, "You and the Zheng family in Kyoto...?"
He wanted to ask about his relationship with Zheng Yi, but Zheng Xian was obviously much older than Zheng Yi.
Zheng Xian smiled and said frankly, "If you count carefully, I am Zheng Yi's uncle, but from a side branch, and our relationship was not very close in the past."
"When I went to Yueban Bay to study, I met someone from the Zheng family who recognized me. That's when I got in touch with them."
Zheng Xian was extremely insightful. Since Lu Weiyi could point out his relationship with the Zheng family, he immediately understood what the other party wanted to ask and simply said, "I have nothing to do with Zheng Yi. Mr. Zheng was asking directly about the weapons and equipment in the military region."
"After learning that you had taken it away, the old man didn't quite believe it, so he sent someone over there. After seeing the situation over there, he also thought about the breeding capacity." However, compared to what they thought about Yueban Bay, they were obviously more capable of investing in research at the time, so they immediately dispatched a scientific research team there.
"They did get some initial results, and then the research team split into two teams. One team went to Kyoto to put the results into practice, while the other team remained there to continue in-depth research."
When Lu Weiyi heard what he said, his eyes lit up. Just as he was about to continue asking questions, he heard Qin Jin suddenly say, "There are zombies approaching us."
"Hmm?" Lu Weiyi's mental power instantly probed out, and there were indeed zombies approaching. The zombies that came this time looked much more normal, but seeing the water-drop-shaped tumors on their bodies still made people feel nauseous reflexively.
The number is really not that large, and it is not a problem to rely on these people to solve it. Lu Weiyi didn't know whether Qin Jin's words just now were specifically said to him, but he rationally didn't continue asking, but asked people to beware of the approaching zombies.
After the few zombies were dealt with, the group walked for a while before they saw the hidden sentry post in their village. The people hiding in the underground observation room saw the group first, and when they found Zheng Xian's trace, they quickly sent people to pick them up.
"This is Base Captain Lu and his companions from Yuebanwan Base. Let's find a place for them to rest." Zheng Xian had the wounded settled and let Lu Weiyi and the others rest at will, while he hurried to find Qin Xing.
After expressing their gratitude, Wang Qing and Liu Zhuo also left quickly. Apart from Lu Weiyi and Qin Jin and a few other zombies, only the sentry on duty who was completely unaware of the situation was left acting as a temporary receptionist.
Lu Weiyi let him go about his business and looked around, "This was built for them when we first came here."
The top of the head is covered with grass, opening upwards, and below is a not very spacious room, but it has been expanded a lot now. Originally there was only a sentry post, but now there is a lounge and a living room.
It’s a bit narrow, and you can see everything at a glance. These should be the first batch of guests.
Qin Jin touched it and found "traces left by an S-class earth-type mutant."
Lu Weiyi didn't know whether it was possible or not, "It's too dark here, let's wait outside. By the way, I'll tell you about the person in charge here. They all know each other, and maybe you know him too."
Qin Jin nodded, followed him out of the sentry post, and returned to the ground. Not seeing any reception staff following him, Lu Weiyi asked in a low voice, "You interrupted me just now, what did you want to say?"
As if he didn't expect him to ask this, Qin Jin turned his head and looked at him with an indescribable look, "How did Zhuang Mingxu teach you?"
"He didn't teach me. I have strong superpowers and have always done whatever I want. He said it's good this way and the base will support me." Lu Weiyi said this with a little pride, "Have you seen my teammates? They are not worse than them."
He glanced at Cheng Qi, still feeling a little bit uneasy about what he was trying to do.
"Not bad," Qin Jin said perfunctorily, feeling a little tired. He felt as if he shouldn't have gone with him on this trip. It was no different from taking a kid on an autumn outing. Thinking of Yin Jin and his son and his parents who had a good life, Qin Jin pinched his brows and resigned himself to his fate. "I've seen people ask before, why in real life grooms never look surprised when they see their brides coming out in wedding dresses."
"Someone replied below that a little more performance would earn you countless more money."
Lu Weiyi immediately realized that he was hinting that he was too obvious, and asked awkwardly, "Did you see it?"
"Only a fool can't see that," Qin Jin complained with gritted teeth and exhaled deeply.
Lu Weiyi readily admitted, "The population growth of the base has always been a problem. Kyoto has conducted research on it before, but Zhuang Mingxu said that the technology needs to be strengthened. Now that I happened to come across it, I thought of coming over to ask."
In order to show that he is not so stupid, he said frankly, "The main reason is that the relationship between the two sides is good." More importantly, he understands the scale and personnel situation here. If he wants to conduct in-depth research, they cannot support the things needed, so it is better to sell it.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter coming from not far behind him, followed by a hearty voice, "Hey, nephew, you're here to see your uncle."
The expression on Lu Weiyi's face froze for a moment. Qin Jin and several zombies beside him turned around at the same time and saw the person coming.
Qin Xing was still the same, with a strong physique, solid muscles, and a vigorous walk. After a while, he walked up to them, patted Lu Weiyi's shoulder, who had his back to them, and shouted enthusiastically, "Nephew?"
Lu Weiyi, “…”
I want to say something dirty.
He had only thought about his good relationship with this person before, and forgot that this person and Lin Yimu were really close friends. He called him nephew when they first met, but considering Lin Yimu, he couldn't say anything.
I'm one generation lower than the others and have one more uncle.
But...it's really annoying.
While Lu Weiyi was calming down, Qin Xing had already gotten to know Qin Jin. As Lu Weiyi expected, the two of them were closely connected and naturally were not strangers.
Even though he knew Qin Jin's identity, Qin Xing did not ask any more questions. He just extended his hand as a gesture of invitation and said, "Come on, nephew. Your uncle personally welcomes you. Stay in the village for two days. I have something to talk to you about."
The only thing he could do was naturally the research institute's business. Qin Jin had a hold on Lu Weiyi after hearing what he said, so he had no choice but to turn back.
He was surprised for a moment when he saw this. Now Qin Xing is already a superpower, and the guards following him are also.
Qin Xing did not waste any time on the way down, asking about the situation outside. As long as he did not call him nephew, Lu Weiyi would answer his questions in a friendly manner.
As the topic deepened, Qin Xing's expression became gradually solemn, and he finally asked, "There are no professional personnel here, so we can't be sure whether there is radiation."
He looked at Lu Weiyi, "Do you have any testing equipment or something like that?"
Without waiting for Lu Weiyi to answer, Qin Xing took the initiative to throw out his chips, "The researchers that Mr. Zheng sent from Kyoto before have made new progress in the project this year. We have not been able to contact Kyoto and cannot send them back. If you are interested, you can take them all away."
Qin Jin had originally thought of helping Lu Weiyi to talk when needed, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Seeing Lu Weiyi's expression not showing any surprise, he began to suspect that the intrigues he had seen in the business world before were all illusions.
However, Qin Xing's tone of voice, as if he was throwing away a burden, still aroused Qin Jin's suspicion. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Lu Weiyi's alert, "What did they do? Are you so kind?"
"Relax, what's with that look? How could I trick you?" Qin Xing, a grown man, made a sad expression, which looked a bit eye-catching.
"Brother Damu said that you are the person who needs to be guarded against the most," Lu Weiyi exposed without hesitation.
"Why is this old guy still slandering me?" Qin Xing didn't care at all. Seeing that Lu Weiyi's suspicious eyes were still there, he said calmly with the arrogance of a person in a high position, "Our temple is small and we can't afford to support these big Buddhas."
"When Zheng Xian was discovered by the Zheng family, he was worried about being found. In order to avoid danger, I bought a batch of arms on credit from the Lone Wolf for the sake of my old face. As expected, the Zheng family's team came quietly not long after."
At that time, Qin Xing used his relationship with Yuebanwan to bully them and reluctantly asked them for the qualification to negotiate. However, when the other party showed up, they had already secretly sent people into the village to find out the situation inside.
There were only a few psychics inside, and they could not guard against those psychics from the outside who had much higher abilities than them. After they figured out the situation, they sent the news back to Kyoto.
"Mr. Zheng contacted me personally and said that there would be no armed conflict, he just wanted to recruit some researchers, hoping to make some contribution to the reproduction of mankind."
Lu Weiyi looked back at him, his eyes clearly expressing "Are you so selfless?".
