Shi Bei, with a very serious expression, looked at Nan Qing, who was still whispering to Su Lin across from him, and said in a calm tone:

"Qingqing, what are your plans for the future?"

"It's not safe for you to be here alone. Why don't you leave with us tomorrow?"

Shi Bei spoke very naturally, without revealing any other intentions, as if he were just saying it casually.

But everyone else at the table, whether it was Nan Qing who was talking to Su Lin just a second ago or the other members of their Cheetah Squad, all stopped what they were doing.

Jiang Wenchuan had just reached into the pot to pick up a meatball and was about to put it in his bowl when it accidentally fell onto the table.

Even the most composed vice-captain, Fang Yun, was taken aback by Shi Bei's use of "Qingqing." He looked at Shi Bei, who was completely different from his usual self, with a hint of fear on his face, and inwardly screamed:

no.

My captain.

Do you have to be so obvious?

I was stunned the moment I saw him.

Calling someone "Qingqing" right off the bat is really inappropriate!

Could their captain be possessed by some evil spirit?

I've never seen someone so easily seduced by beauty before.

Fang Yun put down his chopsticks, his hand trembling slightly. He wanted to see if their captain was delirious from the fever and out of his mind.

Isn't this just blatantly flirting with Nan Qing?

Shi Bei dodged Fang Yun's hand, frowned at Fang Yun, and looked at him with an expression that said, "Are you sick?"

Fang Yun could only tremble slightly as she withdrew her hand and continued to eat the beef as if nothing had happened.

It seems that he has an extra task from now on.

He has to keep an eye on their captain every single moment to make sure he doesn't act crazy!

Not only Fang Yun, but also Su Lin, Jiang Xuan, and Jiang Wenchuan quickly communicated with each other through their eyes.

However, due to the captain's authority, no one dared to come out in front of him.

Nan Qing, the person involved, was completely speechless.

Doesn't he think calling someone the "Chosen One" is too intimate?

They didn't exchange more than three sentences in total.

We've only known each other for less than an hour.

"Captain Shi, just call me Nan Qing, it's easier to pronounce."

Chosen One, I hope you're aware of your place!

Having already mentally considered the issue of address, Nanqing then spoke again:

"I also want to leave, but I'm too afraid to go alone."

"But wouldn't it be too much trouble for you if I came with you?"

As he said this, Nan Qing took out two portions of prepared lobster meat from his spatial storage.

On the one hand, she looked at Shi Bei and Fang Yun with extremely sincere yet slightly worried eyes, as if she was really worried that she might cause them trouble.

But her pretty little face was now filled with the words, "Take me away, take me away."

Nan Qing's completely unpretentious expression and actions made Fang Yun and the others chuckle to themselves.

She's such a lovely, kind, and beautiful woman!!!

Shi Bei was amused by the expressive face of Nan Qing, which dispelled some of the gloom in his heart. He looked at Nan Qing with a smile and said:

It's alright.

"I'll protect you then; just come with us."

Actually, they are different from ordinary base superpower teams.

Under normal circumstances, even if they encounter survivors during a mission, they will not take the survivors with them; they will simply find a safe place for them to stay.

At the same time, the location here will be transmitted to the base via the now-repaired network communication, and the base will arrange another team to carry out the escort mission.

Their team was one of the country's top special operations teams.

After the apocalypse, all five members of the team awakened their superpowers. So, after the country quickly established a base, they continued to carry out some of the more challenging missions at the base.

Of course, this is under normal circumstances.

The unusual situation refers to the present moment.

Their beloved captain took the initiative to invite them to leave together.

As soldiers whose duty is to obey orders, they will not object to any decision their captain makes.

and.

They really like Nanqing too!!!

She's beautiful, but her personality isn't pretentious at all.

And she gave them so much delicious food.

Moreover, Nanqing's spatial ability might be helpful in the upcoming missions, since the spider's space is really small and fills up quickly with just a few things.

only........

Completely oblivious to his captain's subtle signals, Su Lin immediately leaned closer to Nan Qing after Shi Bei finished speaking, and said to Nan Qing with great pride:

"Nanqing, don't worry."

We will all protect you.

"I have fire-based abilities, so just stick close to me."

As Su Lin spoke, he patted his firm chest muscles, a look of slight pride on his face.

Sitting next to Su Lin, Jiang Wenchuan chimed in, saying that he would also protect Nan Qing and prevent her from getting hurt.

Nan Qing was naturally happy to have achieved her goal, so the three of them started chatting together again, one sentence after another.

Only Shi Bei had a dark expression, coldly staring at the three people opposite him.

oh.

wrong.

There were also Fang Yun and Jiang Xuan, who had seen his potential early on.

But none of them said a word. They just silently scooped the meat out of the pot while secretly lighting incense sticks for Su Lin and Jiang Wenchuan in their hearts.

Two simpletons with no sense of reason whatsoever.

May you have good fortune.

Mmm, this meat is delicious!!

While they're chatting in groups and one of them is feeling jealous, hurry up and finish all this meat.

And so, there were six people at the table.

Su Lin and Jiang Wenchuan were telling Nan Qing some interesting stories about their time in the army before the apocalypse.

Fang Yun and Jiang Xuan were eating the sizzling meat, finishing one plate after another, and then another.

Shi Bei sat quietly by himself, his head down, staring at the cold beef in his bowl. No one knew what he was thinking.

Oh, no, that's not right.

There was also a little tabby cat lying on the table, grinding its still-soft baby teeth fiercely against the thick, round belly.

I, Little Eight, have actually managed to live a life of leisure and freedom in this apocalyptic world.

It's this money belly.

It's too hard!!!

And so, the six people and one beast, each with completely different thoughts, ate for more than two hours before ending this hot pot feast.

Without Nan Qing having to say anything, Su Lin and the others took the initiative to clean up the remaining food and dishes. One of them used their special ability to release water, another cleaned up, and yet another washed the dishes and mopped the floor.

Nan Qing looked at the four busy people with satisfaction, feeling that she could also take care of all their food from now on.

After all, she really had a ton of delicious ingredients stored up.

But she doesn't know how to do it either.

So these past few days, Xiao Ba and I have been eating prepared, ready-made food.

Nan Qing once again felt that following them was a very good decision.

Um.

I'm such a clever little goddess!
