Song Kaiji and Tang Wenjie did have a very good relationship. There were four people in their dormitory, Tang Wenjie was the second oldest, Song Kaiji was the third oldest, and they were ranked next to each other and even had beds next to each other. The relationship between the roommates was very harmonious, and Tang Wenjie was the only local in the dormitory. In the past three years, Song Kaiji and the other two had eaten a lot of delicious food that Tang Wenjie brought from home.

Although he had never met Tang Wenjie's mother, he had been grateful to this aunt for a long time: a large pot of stewed beef with small potatoes, pork ribs stewed with beans to go with rice, a whole big elbow stewed until tender... a lot of it went into Song Kaiji's stomach.

He does have a good relationship with Tang Wenjie, even better than with Qu Weiwei. If he had the ability, Song Kaiji would never leave Tang Wenjie alone. But now it is not him who has the ability, but Shen Qing.

Before he even asked, Shen Qing had already spoken, which touched Song Kaiji even more. He watched Shen Qing carry Tang Wenjie on his shoulders and walk away, wanting to share the burden, but couldn't let go of Tang Wenjie's mother.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he shouted, several voices suddenly popped up in the refugee area: "It's me, it's me!"

"It's me. Take me into the base right now. I'm Tang Wenjie's mother!"

Song Kaiji slapped his forehead, he was really in a hurry, he dared to look for someone like this. If Tang Wenjie hadn't fainted suddenly and made him confused for a while, he would never have made such a mistake!

During this period, several groups of refugees came from outside the base. Occasionally, some people came to look for their relatives and friends, which was like a stone that caused a thousand waves in the refugee camp. Those who could not pay the entrance fee were like grasping at the last straw, no matter if it was a lie or a trick, they would sneak into the base first.

Seeing that more and more women were about to gather around him, and even two men were among them, Song Kaiji directly took out his crossbow and said, "Don't come close!"

The crowd was silent for a moment, and then someone shouted angrily: "How dare you kill someone? This is at the gate of the base! Is there no law?"

"I am Tang Wenjie's mother. If you dare to do this to me, our Wenjie will never forgive you!"

"I'm Tang Wenjie's father, and this is Tang Wenjie's brother. Stop talking nonsense with them and take us in quickly!"

Song Kaiji was getting a headache from all the noise, so he raised his voice again: "Which neighborhood does Tang Wenjie live in?"

How could these people really know? They just kept trying to hold Song Kaiji back, asking him to take them into the base as soon as possible. Song Kaiji held the crossbow and stepped back. After a while, he heard a voice drowned out by the crowd: "Bauhinia Garden, Bauhinia Garden..."

Song Kaiji looked over and saw a middle-aged woman of medium build, about fifty years old, standing at the door of her tent. She wanted to come over but didn't dare to leave her tent: she was afraid that if she took a few steps away, she would be robbed. She had encountered such things many times along the way!

So he could only hold the edge of the tent with one hand and wave desperately towards Song Kaiji with the other.

Looking at the woman's appearance again, she is still of medium build and not skinny after more than half a year since the apocalypse, and there are signs of loose skin on her face, which is the result of a fat person losing weight quickly while the skin cannot keep up. It can be seen how plump she was before the apocalypse.

This seems to be consistent with the fact that Tang Wenjie's mother cooks delicious food...and her nose is a bit like Tang Wenjie's.

Song Kaiji was still worried, so he leaned over and asked, "What kind of potatoes are used for beef stew?"

Middle-aged woman: ? ?

She looked blankly for a few seconds before she remembered her previous cooking habits: "I used small potatoes, whole potatoes that were slightly bigger than a ping-pong ball! I also brought him pork elbows and pork ribs stewed with beans to school!"

"It's you!" Song Kaiji gritted his teeth. It had come to this point, so he admitted his fault! He reached out and folded up the tent behind the woman, pulled the woman up and ran away.

There were people behind her who kept chasing and crying, "I am the real one, she is fake, I am Tang Wenjie's mother, please take me into the base..."

When Song Kaiji and Tang's mother rushed to the gate of the base, they saw that Shen Qing did not bring Tang Wenjie into the base, but laid Tang Wenjie aside. Seeing Song Kaiji coming, he hurriedly said, "They said he had a fever and they were afraid of the virus, so they didn't let him in."

Mother Tang threw herself on Tang Wenjie and touched her son's forehead distressedly: "He has had a low-grade fever for two days, but it wasn't this hot before. We didn't dare to tell him or go find medicine for fear of being driven out by other refugees. But he has never been scratched by a zombie, and it hasn't changed in two days."

How could this happen when infected with the zombie virus? It took at most ten minutes, and there was no time to get a fever! Maybe the guards at the city gate also took this into consideration, so they didn't do anything to Tang Wenjie, but just temporarily stopped him from entering the base.

Shen Qing propped up his chin and said, "Is it possible to ask a healing person to come to the city gate to help take a look?"

Shen Qing said this with a little selfish motive. He wanted to treat Miao and bring her here for treatment. But Miao also wanted to treat old lady Miao's leg. Did he have to bring her to the base as well? Shen Qing hadn't figured out how to solve this problem, but it would be a good idea to take this opportunity to learn about the cost of a healing psychic's visit.

Song Kaiji said with some embarrassment: "Going to the hospital for treatment is already very expensive. If I ask a healing psychic to come for treatment, I'm afraid..." He looked at Shen Qing embarrassedly: "I've known you for so long, and I haven't done much for you, but I've been spending your money..."

Shen Qing suddenly realized what Song Kaiji had been doing all day. But Shen Qing was quite happy. Although he kept saying that he trusted Song Kaiji, after a long time, who wouldn't be afraid of a small favor and a big meal? Shen Qing knew this truth.

The fact that Song Kaiji thought this way showed that he was indeed a good man with a conscience. Shen Qing felt that his vision was correct. It was certainly much better to get along with such a self-reflective and sensible person than to get along with someone who only knew how to ask for things and gradually became complacent.

"Why don't you repay me in the future?" Shen Qing was in a good mood and said to Song Kaiji with a smile: "Do you still remember the first time we met? You helped me kill that zombie and saved my life. I can afford these things. I remember your kindness to me, and you also remember my kindness to you. Isn't that good?"

Song Kaiji looked at Shen Qing's bright smile and felt his heart beating faster and faster. He didn't know why, but he remembered the feeling of Shen Qing's hair scratching his cheek. His throat rolled a few times before he said, "Okay."

Song Kaiji went into the base to find a healing person, while Shen Qing stayed to help look after Tang Wenjie and Tang's mother. Song Kaiji also left a crossbow for Shen Qing: after what happened just now, he was afraid that someone would not give up and come back to harass Shen Qing.

This crossbow was made by Song Kaiji himself, and it was not as useful as the compound crossbow he sold to Shen Qing. But such a crossbow could be made by oneself with wood! Shen Qing felt very curious, and after fiddling with it for a while, he set his eyes on Mother Tang again.

"Auntie," Shen Qing came closer, "It must have been difficult for you to get here, right?"

Mother Tang felt a little awkward with this title. Who calls someone aunt nowadays? Isn't everyone called auntie? But she just observed Song Kaiji's words and knew that between Song Kaiji and Shen Qing, Shen Qing should be the one who paid and made decisions. Now that someone else was paying and sending people to help her son see a doctor, Mother Tang naturally told Shen Qing everything she knew: "Yes! Our home is in the northwest of Hongcheng, and our base is in the southeast. You don't know how much we have suffered along the way..."

Mother Tang became more and more excited as she spoke, and Shen Qing listened attentively beside her. He knew too little about this world, and knew nothing about anything outside the Hongcheng base. It was inconvenient to ask Song Kaiji, so it would be nice to get some information from Mother Tang at this moment.

From Tang's mother's description, Shen Qing knew that there was a place called a shopping mall outside the base. The underground first floor was usually a snack bar and a large supermarket, the first floor was some brand stores and gold shops, and above that there were furniture and home appliances...

There are also gas stations. All the cars and bicycles he has seen need to be refueled before they can run.

They also knew that the Hongcheng base was a paradise. Even the most chaotic refugee camp was a thousand times better than the small base outside. "We were outside and escaped death several times. We also encountered cannibalism." Mother Tang was terrified when she thought about it now. She used to like cooking and eating. She was a fat woman weighing 180 pounds. In the first two months of the apocalypse, she and Tang Wenjie hid at home. Although they ate less, they didn't exercise and didn't lose much weight. She still remembered how greedy those cannibals were when they saw her.

"It's all my fault. I'm too fat. I can't run and my reactions are slow. I almost got Wen Jie and I killed many times." Tang's mother wiped her tears. "I asked him to leave me alone, but he refused. He always gave me food first. I'm so fat now. What else can I eat?"

Shen Qing's pupils shrank as he listened, and it was hard to imagine what kind of hell on earth that was. Then he was very glad that he came to the Hongcheng base and the first person he met was Song Kaiji. If the cave was not opened in the right place, and he first encountered those cannibals, how could he have such a good life today!

Mother Tang's words gave Shen Qing a deeper understanding of the cruelty of this world.

"Here we are, right here!"

Song Kaiji rode a bicycle and came over with a healing psychic. Fortunately, nothing serious happened at the base today, and there were many relatively idle healing psychics chatting and waiting for work at the nurses' station. But the price was still not cheap. Just for this visit, it cost fifty crystal cores, and if treatment was needed, it would be charged separately.

Fortunately, Tang Wenjie did not need treatment. The healing psychic put his hand on his forehead and felt it: "Congratulations, he is not sick, he is about to awaken his superpowers!"

"What!" Mother Tang was extremely surprised. They had seen a lot along the way. As long as superpowers were awakened, even the worst level one, they would be stronger than ordinary people. When they arrived at some small strongholds, the people there were very willing to win over those with superpowers.

Song Kaiji was a little confused. As far as he knew, awakening superpowers would not cause fever - he himself did not have a fever, and Qu Weiwei did not have a fever either.

"Well... maybe he has eaten too little recently and his body is overdrawn. The energy in his body is not enough to support his awakening immediately, so he has a fever. It seems that the awakened ability should be a relatively powerful offensive ability, which consumes so much energy." The healing ability user stretched out a finger, "Ten crystal cores, I will help him awaken, how about it?"
