She struggled for five years in the apocalypse, but at the moment of her death, she returned to the very beginning of the apocalypse, just as the scumbag was about to push her to block zombies.
...Not long after, Qiao Ruoran also got up and went downstairs. Although she did not directly upgrade to the fourth level, she looked energetic and must have gained a lot.
"Hey, didn't my brother come back all night?" Qiao Ruoran looked at the dazzling array of stir-fried vegetables on the table. As a carnivore, she lost her appetite and missed her brother.
Lin Qingqing's hand holding the chopsticks trembled: she seemed to have forgotten about it when she was busy. She quickly and secretly asked the system to open the connection.
"There's an ocean out there, and someone has to row the boat for everyone to get back... Your brother must be working hard for everyone to return home!"
As soon as the connection line was opened, the system came to report that Qiao Mingyang had returned to the space. Lin Qingqing was halfway through her words when she quickly gave Qiao Mingyang a compliment.
The next second, Qiao Mingyang walked into the kitchen with a sour face.
"Brother, you're back." Qiao Ruoran saw that there was no blood on Qiao Mingyang's body, but he looked tired. She felt relieved and quickly brought Qiao Mingyang a bowl of porridge.
"Brother, eat something quickly. There's no rush to row the boat back." Qiao Ruoran still cared about her brother.
Moreover, after experiencing the incident at Gemini Lake, Qiao Ruoran was no longer keen on saving the world. She even felt that it was fine for the whole family to stay in the space.
Qiao Mingyang nodded, took the bowl and started eating.
He hadn't slept or eaten all night and was in urgent need of energy. He wolfed down the porridge in no time.
"Brother, give me the bowl." Seeing this, Qiao Ruoran put down her own bowl and chopsticks and reached out to her brother to take the bowl.
Lin Qingqing was full. She wiped her mouth, put down her chopsticks, and sighed, "Well, eat! Have a good rest after eating, and don't let Ranran worry.
The only ones who can carry the space away are you and me. I'll go out and row it later." Based on the latest intelligence from the system, Boss Qiao rowed diligently all night.
Qiao Mingyang was handing the bowl to Qiao Ruoran, but his hand froze when he heard this.
He slowly turned his head and stared at Lin Qingqing. What she said seemed to be the truth.
He thought: He is not outside, so it must be Lin Qingqing who took the power bank outside. Otherwise, the space should be in the same place.
"Why? Can't we let someone else do it?" Qiao Ruoran still didn't understand.
She didn't know that the carrier in her brother's space was a power bank.
In theory, the space is wherever the owner is. However, because Lin Qingqing is in a shared space, she can move around with her power bank.
"No reason. I'll go out after I finish eating. We have to go back home early." Qiao Mingyang drank the porridge in big mouthfuls. If Lin Qingqing went out, she would take the space with her, so he would give the power bank to her.
Qiao Mingyang would rather work himself to death than give the space to Lin Qingqing.
"Why row a boat? I saw a few speedboats on the lake the other day," the mixed-race kid chimed in. The speedboats had suddenly appeared, along with the larger boat. He didn't understand why they were rowing instead of using the speedboats.
Only after Qiao Mingyang finished his second bowl of porridge did he feel alive again. But when he heard these words, he wanted to die again.
They were out there yesterday, paddling really hard all night.
Everyone wants to go home quickly.
After all, being in the vast ocean, with neither the sky up nor the ground down, it feels so insecure!
So, Lin Qingqing got a speedboat and deliberately didn't tell him?
The dog system didn’t tell him either!
Qiao Mingyang's face turned from sunny to cloudy, and he looked at Lin Qingqing with an unfriendly look.
Can there be a day when I won't cheat him?
"We don't know how to drive a speedboat." Lin Qingqing narrowed her eyes dangerously and looked at the mixed-race boy with a smile. He actually ruined her plan?
"Ahahaha, driving a speedboat is easy. I'll teach you." The mixed-race boy laughed loudly, quite proud. It turned out that none of them knew how to drive a speedboat!
"Thank you so much." Lin Qingqing kept smiling.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do." The mixed-race boy was completely unaware of the approaching danger. He still felt that his heroic skills had found their place, and his peach blossom eyes were sparkling.
"Qiao Mingyang, do you need to rest? How about I go out first and you can come back later to take my place?" Lin Qingqing asked hypocritically.
She believed that a year after Qiao Mingyang lost the power bank, he would never dare to give it to her again.
"No need, Eagle, you can go out with me to drive the speedboat later." Qiao Mingyang glared at Lin Qingqing and said to the mixed-blood boy. He was too embarrassed to mention that there was a speedboat in his space, something that he, the owner of the space, didn't even know about.
"No problem." The mixed-race guy nodded readily. Compared with other messy nicknames, he preferred the nickname Eagle.
Moreover, he was almost going crazy in this space and wanted to go out for some fresh air.
"Lin Qingqing, go and pull the others back. Inspector Chen fell into the sea yesterday and has a fever." Qiao Mingyang said to Lin Qingqing in a serious tone.
Since we have a speedboat, there is no point in leaving those people on the rubber boat outside.
Whether he likes it or not, he has been feeding these people for a year. He can't let them die in vain. He has to collect some interest.
Lin Qingqing said, "Take two more people with you, in case a sea monster appears." At this moment, the two people's brain circuits were miraculously synchronized. They didn't want those people to really die before they got their money back!
"Thank you for your good words. Even if you die, I can't die." Qiao Mingyang snorted coldly.
Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Is Qiao Mingyang angry?
I'm so angry!
If she wasn't worried about half of the inventory in the space that belonged to her, she wouldn't care whether he lived or died!
"Brother, Qingqing is doing this for your own good. Why are you being so sarcastic?" Qiao Ruoran was serving Qiao Mingyang the third bowl of porridge. When she heard this, she stood up for Lin Qingqing.
Qiao Mingyang's heart was pounding, but he couldn't tell Qiao Ruoran that he didn't want to give the space to Lin Qingqing.
Moreover, he even suspected that all this was planned by Lin Qingqing, just to tire him to death.
Well, if she was exhausted, she could inherit his space and take all his inventory.
"It's okay, Ranran, your brother might not have slept well and is in a bad mood when he wakes up! Let's not take it to heart with him." Lin Qingqing tried to smooth things over with good intentions.
"It's just that Lady Qingqing is magnanimous. Humph, Qiao Mingyang, you should reflect on yourself." Qiao Ruoran angrily put the porridge on Qiao Mingyang's table and pulled Lin Qingqing out.
He also said, "Let's leave him alone. He's already old and not mature at all."
Lin Qingqing advised Qiao Ruoran: "Hey, some people are just like that, but their hearts are not bad."
"Qingqing, you're so kind. My brother just has a weird temper, but he's not a bad person."
Qiao Ruoran is so worried about her brother's bad temper that she is going to grow old. In this space, no one likes her brother.
"Yeah, I know." Lin Qingqing nodded and thought to herself, your brother is a bad person and has an even weirder temper.
However, without Qiao Mingyang, Qiao Ruoran was afraid that she would not be able to survive for a day.
Lin Qingqing knew that their brother-sister relationship was strong, and she absolutely could not say anything bad about Qiao Mingyang openly.
"Thank you, Qingqing." Qiao Ruoran held Lin Qingqing's arm tightly.
Lin Qingqing looked a little aggrieved. Finally, she sighed, "Forget it. He's your brother after all! Let's not bother with him. Well, I'll go out and bring the other person back first."
"Thank you for your hard work." Qiao Ruoran stroked Lin Qingqing's shoulder and rubbed it affectionately.
"It's okay." Lin Qingqing said, smiled slightly, and disappeared on the spot.
In the kitchen behind him, Qiao Mingyang could no longer finish his third bowl of porridge. He was so angry that he was full of it.
The next second, Lin Qingqing appeared precisely on the rubber boat.
"Lin Qingqing, pull me back quickly! I'm almost freezing to death. Qiao Mingyang is a lunatic!"
When Qu Guangu saw her, he almost burst into tears. The night at the sea was so freezing that it could kill people.
Especially with the abnormal weather now, the sea breeze blowing all night is so cold that it feels like the wind piercing through the bone marrow. Even the strongest person can't stand it.
"Miss Lin, we have wronged you, please forgive us!"
Qu Guangu took the lead in crying out in pain, and the others also lost all shame and started to clamor.
Six big men were crammed into the small rubber boat, and Inspector Chen, who had a high fever, was lying in the middle.
"We didn't sleep all night, and Crazy Joe made us take turns rowing the boat."
“Riding a rubber dinghy back home… only a madman would do that!”
"That's right! Anyone with a little common sense knows it's impossible! It's at least thousands of nautical miles from here to our country's territory! We rowed for half a day yesterday, and when a gust of wind came, we were pushed back hundreds of miles!"
Lin Qingqing glanced at them, and everyone's face showed a complaining expression.
What this person said at the end was a bit exaggerated, but if the wind direction is wrong, all the work will be in vain.
But Lin Qingqing had no intention of comforting them.
No matter how bad Qiao Mingyang's temper was, she couldn't say he was wrong against her conscience.
He was a mysophobe, but he let this group of people live in the villa. He was stingy and frugal, but he provided them with three meals a day.
But these people are taking advantage of others and acting like they are doing good!
Lin Qingqing's expression was unusually serious. She swept her cold gaze over the crowd and said, "I hope everyone will be a little less cunning. At least, don't complain to me before we return home."
"Hey, we were just talking casually..." A fearless person actually responded.
Lin Qingqing raised her foot and kicked out.
With a splash, the man never expected that Lin Qingqing would turn against him so suddenly, and he was completely caught off guard and plunged into the sea.
Gulp gulp——
Several grown men swallowed hard. Qu Guangu had already sensed that the situation was not good, so he closed his mouth and pretended not to care.
The people in the sea were still struggling, but Lin Qingqing seemed not to notice. She continued calmly, "Even if you had extraordinary identities before, you all have to hide now... We need cooperation to get home safely."
Even if he took a speedboat home, it would take at least ten days on the road, and Qiao Mingyang would definitely have to rotate his helpers.
There are many unpredictable things at sea. If we want to stay safe, we all have to work together.
If these people were still scattered, when they encountered danger on the road, they would probably fight on their own and run away when they saw the situation was not good.
"Of course, you can also choose... Get out of here now!" Lin Qingqing's tone was calm, but murderous. With space in hand, she was not afraid of this group of people rebelling at all. If you have the guts, swim back.
"No, we'll listen to you." Inspector Chen forced himself to sit up. He couldn't stand it any longer.
Lin Qingqing looked at him, and Inspector Chen forced a smile on his face. "Don't be ungrateful. Without you, we wouldn't be able to leave that island, not to mention that Mr. Qiao took us in for a whole year."
"Yes! Without Lin Qingqing, we wouldn't be where we are today. We should be grateful... Besides, rowing back is for our own benefit. Qingqing, don't worry, I won't hold you back." Qu Guangu stood up suddenly and expressed his opinion.
When he heard that Inspector Chen wanted to thank Qiao Mingyang, he immediately became unhappy and was willing to stand on Lin Qingqing's side.
