Chapter 296 A Fool Can't Save Himself

Meng Shiwan's lips curled into a mocking smile.

These people are really something else. They're so eager to get into Dawn Base, but they don't seem to notice how creepy Qin Nianshu's grayish-white eyes are.

Qin Dongguo immediately spotted Meng Shiwan standing in the center, surrounded by everyone. His small eyes shone brightly, a flash of amazement crossing them before quickly settling down, replaced by pure admiration.

"Are you the commander of Dawn Base? You are truly young, promising, and incredibly powerful. We are all ability users and are willing to serve Dawn Base..."

"dad."

Qin Dongguo was trying hard to promote himself, feeling that with Qin Nianshu's connection, taking them to the Dawn Base was practically a done deal.

When he heard Qin Nianshu call him, Qin Dongguo was overjoyed and quickly looked at Qin Nianshu, "Oh, my good daughter, tell the base commander that we are willing to serve the Dawn Base, even if it's just to be gatekeepers."

He was so eager to enter the Dawn Base that he was blinded by the joy of being able to get in through the back door, which prevented him from seeing Qin Nianshu's unusual behavior.

Those eerie gray-white eyes, and Qin Nianshu's face, twitching and contorted as she suppressed her overwhelming hatred, were clearly displayed before Qin Dongguo.

He may have seen it, but he didn't care.

He wouldn't care if Qin Nianshu's head was the only thing standing in front of him, as long as he could join the Dawn Base.

In Qin Dongguo's eyes, his daughter was just a rag doll that he could manipulate at will. If she weren't useful now, he wouldn't bother with her at all.

Qin Nianshu forced a smile, her voice becoming hoarse from suppressing her emotions, "Dad, how can the base commander maintain his authority if we blatantly use connections like this? We still have to participate in the selection, but I'll help you."

Qin Dongguo was taken aback and complained, "Dawn Base is so powerful now, it's just a matter of a word from someone, who would dare to object? Why do I still need to participate in the selection? How will you help me? What kind of superpower do you have?"

Qin Nianshu lowered her eyes, concealing the disgust in them. "I have spatial abilities, so I can participate in the selection with you and help you collect crystal cores. There are so many people participating in the selection now, so don't tarnish the base leader's prestige. Don't worry, I will help you. One of me isn't enough, but don't you have so many friends? Just go through the motions, and I'll definitely let you pass the selection."

Qin Dongguo glanced at the group of powerful men and women that Qin Nianshu was pointing at with her little finger, his eyes darting around. He thought about it and realized that it made sense. With so many people being selected for superpowers, it wouldn't be right for him to openly use connections.

The reason they were asked to participate in the selection was simply to avoid causing resentment among the other superhumans who were working so hard.

Otherwise, what if, when they become his colleagues, they find out he got in through connections, dislike him, and deliberately make things difficult for him?

Thinking of this, Qin Dongguo immediately smiled and said, "My dear daughter, we'll do whatever you say. As long as we can get into the Dawn Base, we'll do anything you ask."

When Qin Dongguo's other teammates heard that the deal had already been decided, they were all overjoyed, their teeth practically showing.

Lulu, holding her Barbie doll, stood next to Tao Yarong, silently closed her eyes, turned away, unable to bear looking at her.

These people are still laughing like idiots; it won't be long before they turn into a pile of rotten flesh.

Given Qin Nianshu's personality, the calmer she is now, the worse these people's fate will be.

Qin Nianshu's hateful nature means she won't let them get away with it.

Meng Shiwan waved her hand, "Go ahead, go ahead."

If Qin Nianshu's hatred isn't allowed to be vented, this child might really go crazy.

When Qin Dongguo saw Meng Shiwan's attitude, he knew that the base commander had tacitly approved of it, letting them go through the motions before directly recruiting them.

He quickly nodded and bowed to thank everyone, "Thank you all. Although it's already decided, we will still try our best to participate in the selection and perform well."

The other four nodded in agreement, indicating their stance.

Lei Zhe couldn't stand it any longer and muttered under his breath, "A bunch of idiots."

Wu Ming sighed inwardly, "Fools can't save themselves. He's still treating Qin Nianshu like a three-year-old. How did he think Qin Nianshu would help him with all those things? Where did he get his confidence?"

Qin Nianshu's smile widened as she said to the others, "Let's go then."

Qin Dongguo tilted his short, thick neck back and said to his four teammates, "Do we still need to argue? Who will drink two vials of the ability-enhancing liquid?"

The third brother laughed and said, "You drink, you drink. It's all thanks to you that we were able to get the pre-selection. Of course, the eldest brother should drink. The remaining three bottles will be drawn by the four of us. It doesn't matter if you don't get to drink. Once we kill some zombies and get some crystal cores, we'll buy another one and make up for it immediately."

The issues that were just arguing about have suddenly become much easier to discuss.

Qin Dongguo proudly led them to buy the ability enhancement fluid.

The other superhumans around them overheard their conversation and learned that the girl had already secured their place in the relationship, so they all cast envious glances at them.

"No matter when, there are always people who use connections, unlike us, who have to fight tooth and nail to get a spot."

"What can we do? She's just lucky to have a wonderful daughter."

"These people are about to rise to prominence."

Hearing the envious voices, Qin Dongguo raised his head even higher in pride.

There was a long queue in front of the sales building, all of them there to buy things.

The expansion of the base doesn't stop them from shopping. It's just that the staff inside haven't started work yet, so they're queuing up to watch the fun.

Qin Dongguo walked straight to the front and arrogantly told the man at the very front of the line, "Make way, let me buy first. I'm waiting to participate in the selection, I can't waste time."

The man laughed angrily, "I don't care what you do, don't even think about cutting in line in front of me."

Qin Dongguo, a short, stocky man, only reached the other man's chest. He had to tilt his head back at a 45-degree angle to even see the other man's face, but that still couldn't hide his arrogance.

"Do you know who I am? My daughter is a big shot at Dawn Base. We've already been slated to join Dawn Base. I'll be one of Dawn Base's people from now on. If you dare offend me, I'll make sure Dawn Base won't sell you anything in the future."

The man in the first line was so angry he laughed, and punched him, sending him flying eight meters away. "Where did this lunatic come from? Stay away from me."

When Qin Dongguo saw that this person had actually hit him, he got up and was about to fight, saying, "If you dare to lay a hand on me, I think you're asking for death."

Before he could unleash his power, a bolt of lightning struck Qin Dongguo from the sky, charring him black.

Lei Zhe walked over and said coldly, "Those who cause trouble die."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Qin Dongguo immediately flattered, "No trouble, no trouble. I'm just anxious to participate in the selection, so I thought I'd buy some first."

Lei Zhe snorted, "We have our own rules here. Even if it's the Heavenly King himself, he has to follow the rules."

Qin Dongguo nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, we'll line up, we'll go line up right now."

Lei Zhe was speechless. He looked at Qin Nianshu standing beside him, his eyes questioning, "Why isn't this idiot dead yet?"

Qin Nianshu blinked. 'Almost there, almost there, he's about to die. Just bear with it a little longer. I'm already imagining how he'll die.'
