Chapter 15 Chapter 15 The First Members of the Base (Part 2)…

Su Qing got up early today. After washing up, she took the bucket and prepared to go milk the cows. She opened the door and walked out, watching Lu Chen running around not far away.

The early morning sun shines through the thin clouds, and crystal clear dewdrops curl up on the leaves of the surrounding grass and trees, shining crystal clear under the reflection of the sun. There seems to be a layer of mist in the air, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees.

Lu Chen was wearing a tight vest on his upper body and black sports shorts on his lower body. He was jogging with even breathing. The muscles on his body rose and fell with his running movements. Fine beads of sweat seeped into his forehead, slowly gathered and flowed down along his slender neck, across his well-defined collarbone, and into his chest, soaking his clothes.

This picture is damn tempting.

Lu Chen spotted her at this moment. He ran towards her against the light, with a strong masculine scent blowing towards her. Lu Chen's mouth curled up slightly, "So early."

"Uh...yeah," she said as she walked away, "I'm going to milk the cows. Do you want to join me for breakfast?"

"Then thank you for your help." Lu Chen turned around and looked at Su Qing's receding back and replied.

After milking the cows, Su Qing went to the kitchen and fried two eggs. Then she took out bread, tomatoes, lettuce and ham, and took out the salad dressing she made herself. She cut off the edges of the bread, sliced ​​the tomatoes and ham, and then stacked all the ingredients on top and spread the salad dressing on them. A sandwich was ready.

She used this salad dressing very sparingly, applying only a thin layer. Since she didn't have a whisk, she had to beat it all by hand, and her hands were almost broken when she made it.

Putting the sandwiches and milk on a tray, Su Qing carried the tray towards the main room and stopped when passing by Lu Chen's room.

"Lu Chen."

The window of the room was opened. Lu Chen was wearing a bath towel and wiping his hair with one hand. "What's the matter?"

"It's time to eat." After saying that, Su Qing left quickly.

Su Qing was sitting at the table eating breakfast quickly when she saw Lu Chen walking in wearing a black work suit.

After they finished breakfast, Lu Chen asked: "What are your plans for today?"

"I need to go out for a while, what's wrong?"

"I don't have anything to do today. I'll be here the whole time. Is there anything you need me to do?"

Su Qing tilted his head and thought for a moment, "I'm going to a small town to pick up a few people today. If it's convenient for you to help look after them on the way, you can go with me."

Su Qing thought that Fang Qing's group could go with her today, as there were children all over the place. She was worried that if something unexpected happened along the way, she, Fang Qing and the two half-grown children might not be able to protect so many people.

If Lu Chen follows, then everything will be safe.

"Okay." Lu Chen nodded without hesitation.

Because there were so many people, Su Qing did not bring Fuguier with him and left it in the courtyard to look after the house.

The two drove Su Qing's solar electric car towards the town. The car soon arrived at Fang Qing's house. Su Qing got out of the car and knocked on the door.

"Fang Qing, it's me, Su Qing."

The door was opened a crack, and Su Qing saw a little boy standing inside. The boy blinked at Su Qing and said, "You are the sister from yesterday."

"Yes, is Sister Fang Qing here? I'm here to find her." Su Qing half-knelt down with his hands on his knees.

"Here, sister, come in quickly."

Su Qing turned around and glanced at Lu Chen. "I'll go in first. You wait for me outside for a while."

"Yeah." Lu Chen sat in the car and looked at the little head sticking out of the door. Although he didn't know what Su Qing was going to do, he didn't ask too much.

Su Qing walked in and saw Fang Qing coming over with Li Xing and Wang Tianqi.

"Su Qing, you're here."

"Sister Fang Qing, I wonder what you guys think?"

"Ms. Su, I have a four-year-old child, three seven-year-olds, and two eight-year-olds. Most of these children have lost their parents, and two have been separated from their parents. I don't know if they can ever find their parents. In this world, no matter how small their daily expenses are, they are not something that ordinary people can bear. Are you sure you can always ensure their daily lives are worry-free?"

"Sister Fang Qing, don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem with me."

"Okay, I believe you. We decided to go with you to your base." They had discussed it yesterday. Now they were out of ammunition and food, and they didn't know where to go. Even if they changed places, they didn't know if it would be as safe as here. It would be better to take a chance and go to Su Qing's place first. If it was as good as she said, and the children's daily supplies were solved, the remaining three of them would be able to survive.

"Okay! Do you have a car? If not, I'll go find one first. Should we pack our luggage first?"

"We have a minivan, but it's running low on gas and our luggage is packed."

"It's okay, I have oil here, let's get ready and go."

"Okay!" Fang Qing said, and then asked Li Xing and the others to get in the car with the children. Their luggage had already been put in the car early in the morning.

The door was opened, and Li Xing and Wang Tianqi led the children to the car. The children walked obediently, one holding the other's hand.

Lu Chen was in the car when he saw the iron gate open and so many children walking out. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. After a while, Su Qing opened the door and got in the car.

"Let's go to this place." Su Qing pointed to the location on the map and said to Lu Chen.

"What good deeds have you done?" Lu Chen started the car and glanced at the car behind him through the rearview mirror.

"I built a base, and these babies are my first members." Su Qing stretched out his hand out of the window and waved at the car driven by Fang Qing behind him, signaling her to get ready to set off and follow.

"You built a base so quickly?" Lu Chen was a little surprised.

"Yeah, is it strange?"

"Not surprising." Lu Chen shook his head. For Su Qing, even if she took out a rocket and told him that she wanted to go to outer space, he wouldn't be surprised.

"You have to support these children."

It was an affirmative tone. Lu Chen probably understood Su Qing's style of doing things. If he would recruit such a group of people, he must be planning to support them.

"Children are hope and the future. Since I have the ability, it's just a matter of convenience." Su Qing's eyes were firm. Her mission was to build a safe base for the survivors so that people could live in peace in the base.

Lu Chen was silent. Su Qing did something that even the official would not do. In such a living environment, she was probably the only one who would and could do this.

The car drove for almost an hour and finally arrived at the gate of Su Qing's base.

Lu Chen parked the car and got out. He looked at the few wooden houses standing alone in an open space surrounded by wooden fences. He was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal.

Fang Qing and the others got out of the car and walked over, and were also stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.

This... is quite different from what she imagined. Is this... really reliable?

"Sister Fang Qing, is it too late for us to regret now?" Wang Tianqi frowned as he looked at this place which was not as safe as the place they lived before.

"Don't worry, the base has a protection system and there is no danger. Besides, we are just starting out and things will get better slowly." Su Qing also knew that it would be a bit pale and powerless for her to just talk about the situation.

But she had no choice. Upgrading the base consumed too many materials, and she was really powerless at the moment.

Inviting everyone in, Su Qing was busy arranging their accommodation and introducing the basic functions of the base.

The children didn't care about these things. They were just curious about the new environment. They touched and looked around and soon adapted to the place.

After the brief introduction, Su Qing took out a gold card and handed it to Fang Qing. "The base will provide the children with basic living expenses, 100 yuan per person per month. It will be deposited monthly onto this card, and you will be in charge of managing it. You can use this gold card to pay for all expenses at the base. You can also apply for this gold card at the restaurant to use for living expenses at the base."

Having said that, Su Qing paused, then continued: "However, the subsidy card is only for children to use, and cannot be transferred or withdrawn. The base system will automatically detect it, and if there is any abnormality, the card will be frozen immediately." Although Su Qing believed that Fang Qing and others would not embezzle the subsidy, even for the purpose of increasing personnel in the future, there was no guarantee that no one would find loopholes, so she made an additional condition just in case.

There is no need to hand over supplies, and the children are given subsidies. This is too much. You know, 100 new coupons nowadays can allow an adult to live comfortably.

"Ms. Su, I really don't know how to thank you." Fang Qing excitedly stepped forward and hugged Su Qing.

Su Qing was caught off guard by the hug, but quickly recovered and patted Fang Qing on the back, "From today on, we are all from the same base, so don't be so formal."

Su Qing was released and chatted with a few people for a while. Seeing that it was almost noon, Su Qing said, "To celebrate the first batch of members joining the base, the restaurant is open for free today. Please feel free to order whatever you want."

Su Qing had just prepared several dishes and put them on the restaurant interface. At this time, all the meals in the restaurant were set to 0 yuan. She led everyone into the restaurant. Due to the large number of people and limited tables and chairs, they could only eat in batches.

The children swarmed around the display cabinet, drooling at the sight of the dishes inside.

"Wow, is that scrambled eggs with tomatoes? I haven't eaten eggs in a long time."

“Is this steamed fish?”

"This, this is chicken."

"Sister Su Qing, can we eat all of this?" The children blinked their eyes and looked at Su Qing expectantly.

"Of course you can. Feel free to order whatever you want. But one thing is, you absolutely cannot waste anything. Order only as much as you can eat, okay?"

"I know~"

"Sister Su Qing, we two can take care of it, you go and take a rest." Wang Tianqi and Li Xing came over and helped the children order food.

Su Qing stepped aside and watched the two older children study how to operate the machine, then put the dishes on the table for the children, and then helped them eat.
