Chapter 407: Lao Wei, are you disgusting?

He calmly scanned the people pointing guns at him, a faint smile even playing at the corners of his mouth.

“Go inform Qu Baoguo that someone is waiting for him here.”

Liang Yu’s voice was steady and strong, without the slightest hint of panic or cowardice.

Upon hearing this, the armed men exchanged glances, seemingly surprised that at such a critical moment, Liang Yu could remain so calm and make such a request.

After a moment of hesitation, one of them winked at his companion, who then hurried away.

The remaining men pointed their cold gun muzzles at the one-man army, and though it was useless, they continued to do their job.

The two people in the box saw this scene and had no intention of coming out, planning to stay in the box until Liang Yu called them out.

Qu Baoguo quickly received the news, and after hearing the description, his first thought was that the person was Liang Yu.

Qu Baoguo immediately put down everything he was doing and rushed to the Mountain Cave entrance without stopping. Upon arriving, he found a conspicuous mech surrounded by his subordinates, who were pointing their guns at it.

Seeing this, an enraged Qu Baoguo ran over and yelled at them.

“What are you all doing?!”

“Hurry up and put down your guns!!!”

The Survivors, hearing Qu Baoguo’s reprimand, quickly put down their guns.

Seeing this, Liang Yu’s smile became more pronounced.

Qu Baoguo quickly stepped forward and asked respectfully,

“Mr. Liang, may I ask why you have come this time?”

The one-man army lightly patted his shoulder.

“Coming to find you, that’s naturally a good thing.”

“I’m giving you a big gift, do you want to accept it or not?”

Hearing Liang Yu’s words, Qu Baoguo’s eyes immediately lit up. The big gift Liang Yu mentioned was likely not a joke.

His eyes were filled with anticipation for the “big gift” Liang Yu spoke of, three parts excitement causing his heart to beat a little faster, and seven parts curiosity, like a kitten scratching at his heart, making his gaze cling tightly to Liang Yu.

Liang Yu looked at Qu Baoguo’s expression, the corners of his mouth curving slightly upwards, with no intention of playing coy.

He turned and walked towards the large box he had pieced together, lightly patted the lid, and said,

“Lao Wei, and that other person, come out.”

As his words fell, there was a slight movement from inside the box.

The lid was slowly pushed up, first revealing Lao Wei’s round head, his hair a bit messy. He emerged from the box with a smile, his clothes still slightly wrinkled.

Next, Wu Zhiming calmly stood up from the box, tidied his clothes, and cupped his hands in greeting towards Qu Baoguo.

Seeing that they were two people, living, breathing people, Qu Baoguo was more confused than anything, and the Survivors behind him cast similar glances.

Liang Yu didn’t mind. He first had Lao Wei and the other person introduce themselves, considering it an acquaintance.

Wu Zhiming looked composed as he slowly began to speak to Qu Baoguo and the other Survivors, his voice clear and strong, calmly and methodically giving a brief introduction of his past experiences.

Everyone else listened quietly, their gazes subtly shifting as Wu Zhiming spoke.

Once Wu Zhiming finished his introduction, everyone’s eyes simultaneously turned to Lao Wei.

Lao Wei suddenly became awkward. He lowered his head, his hands unconsciously rubbing at the hem of his clothes, presenting a somewhat bashful posture.

Only then, remembering what he had said to Liang Yu, Lao Wei slightly raised his head, his lips mumbling a few times. Finally, he made up his mind.

He then loudly said to everyone,

“I… my surname is Wei, my given name is Suo, full name Wei Suo.”

As soon as Lao Wei finished speaking, all the Survivors present, except for Qu Baoguo, burst into laughter. Even Liang Yu laughed, but he was quick-witted and pressed the mute button, so his laughter didn’t carry over.

Qu Baoguo stopped the others. After all, they were people brought by Liang Yu, so they couldn’t continue like this.

Liang Yu also spoke at this point, “You’ve met them, so I’ll leave them to you.”

At the same time, he said to Lao Wei,

“If you want to survive, relying on your glib tongue is useless. Do it yourself, show them with your skills.”

After speaking, he ran a few steps, jumped up, transformed into a plane, and flew away.

Although Qu Baoguo didn’t see where the big gift was, he roughly understood what Liang Yu meant by it during their conversation.

He didn’t ask many questions and personally took Lao Wei and the other person to arrange their accommodations.

When he parted ways with Qu Baoguo, he took Liang Yu’s advice and directly asked Qu Baoguo for some materials, equipment, and a quiet room.

Qu Baoguo did his best to fulfill his requests at the time, and he was also very curious about how powerful the “big gift” Liang Yu spoke of could be.

After Liang Yu had the one-man army return, he found a quiet room and retrieved a heated bathtub from his backpack.

He poured the entire amount of one portion of medicinal herbs given by Zen Master Qizhen into the bathtub, then added a large amount of water until the tub was six-sevenths full before stopping.

Next came a long waiting period. According to Zen Master Qizhen, Liang Yu had to boil the medicinal properties out of the herbs. During this time, if the water level dropped by half, he had to add more water until all the herbs were completely boiled down.

During this time, Liang Yu didn’t just wait. He took out another portion of medicinal herbs, retrieved a grinder from his backpack, plugged it in, and poured all the herbs into the machine.

As the machine started, the herbs turned into powder and went into the machine’s storage area.

With the same operation, Liang Yu released another bathtub, poured in the medicinal powder and water, and began heating it.

This latter tub of medicinal powder water quickly came to a boil. As the water temperature rose, the color of the water in the tub slowly began to change.

Looking at the boiling medicinal water, Liang Yu slowly reached out to test the temperature, only to find that despite looking scalding, the water temperature was surprisingly comfortable.

Liang Yu looked at the steaming medicinal water, took a deep breath, then quickly stripped off his clothes and entered the tub.

Instantly, a strong current of heat swept through his entire body, as if every pore was screaming.

Liang Yu gritted his teeth and endured, knowing that these medicinal herbs were crucial for enhancing his abilities.

At the same time, Lao Wei was tinkering with the materials and equipment in the room Qu Baoguo had given him. His eyes were focused, and his hands, which usually seemed rough, were now incredibly nimble.

He held his breath, determined to create something that would make everyone look at him with new eyes.

As time passed, Liang Yu felt a strange change occurring in his body; power seemed to surge endlessly from deep within him.

At the same time, he also felt the presence of the ‘qi’ that Zen Master Qizhen had spoken of.

Liang Yu stepped out of the medicinal bath, but he caught a whiff of an unpleasant smell. It was then that he remembered the other bathtub was still heating, and he quickly ran over.

He then discovered that the water in that bathtub had already evaporated, leaving only a sticky, thick black liquid.
