Chapter 297 Disgusting

Qin Dongguo and his brothers obediently walked to the back of the long queue and waited patiently.

After being taught a lesson by Lei Zhe, he no longer dared to be arrogant; he was clearly a coward who only bullied the weak.

Zhang Qiang and his colleagues had just started work when there were an unusually large number of people buying things today, and the lines were unusually long.

Qin Dongguo walked for a long time but still couldn't see the end of the group, and he became increasingly agitated.

His eyes, charred black from being struck by lightning, were bloodshot with rage.

After walking for a long time, they finally saw the end of the line. A few people lined up at the very end of the line. Qin Dongguo looked at the endless line ahead and felt a nameless anger rising in his heart.

His charred fingers jabbed hard into Qin Nianshu's temple, leaving several dark marks on her once clean face.

Qin Dongguo grumbled, "Aren't you on good terms with the Dawn Base? Couldn't you have put in a good word for me earlier? You hit me in front of so many people, how embarrassing! You stood there like a coward, not saying a word."

"You must have connections inside Dawn Base, right? Couldn't you go and buy us some power-enhancing fluid? Making us wait in line like this, when will it ever be over? Are you deliberately wasting our time?"

Once out of Meng Shiwan's sight, Qin Dongguo stopped acting and, as always, vented all his dissatisfaction and anger on his little daughter.

Qin Nianshu stood to the side, silently enduring the abuse, her black and white eyes fixed on the finger Qin Dongguo had poked at her forehead.

Qin Nianshu lowered her eyes, suppressing the madness in them.

Very well, let's start with this finger. She will definitely tear this person to pieces and torture him to the point of wishing he were dead.

Seeing that Qin Nianshu remained silent, the other teammates quickly stepped forward to dissuade her, fearing that she would leave in anger and ignore them.

"Boss, what does the child know? She has already helped us a lot. Let's not waste the base commander's favor on such a small matter."

"Friendship is something that diminishes with time. We've already been decided beforehand, and we're not in a hurry. So let's just wait in line. Don't make things difficult for the kids."

"That's right, my little niece is already very well-behaved and very capable."

Several people comforted Qin Nianshu, and one of them even took out a lollipop and handed it to her.

These days, it's already quite impressive to be able to produce lollipops. Not to mention children, even the adults nearby are drooling when they see lollipops.

Qin Nianshu glanced at it but didn't take it.

She found these people's things disgusting.

The fourth brother thought Qin Nianshu was just embarrassed, so he stuffed a lollipop into her pocket and comforted her, "Don't be angry. Your father is probably just too anxious. He wants to get to the Dawn Base to take care of you as soon as possible."

Qin Nianshu took out the lollipop and handed it to Qin Dongguo, saying, "Have some candy."

She looked just like a timid child trying to appease their parents after upsetting them; anyone who saw her would feel sorry for her.

Unexpectedly, Qin Dongguo slapped the lollipop out of her hand, saying, "Get out of here, you useless thing. If we can't get into the Dawn Base, see how I deal with you."

Qin Nianshu's frail body couldn't withstand that slap. She was thrown to the ground by the momentum. In her panic, she tried to grab Qin Dongguo's clothes, but her fingers slid down the fabric and she ended up falling to the ground as well.

The clean clothes were stained black by the mud on the ground, making them look dirty and pitiful.

The second brother quickly stepped forward and picked up Qin Nianshu, saying anxiously, "Eldest brother, what are you doing? She's just a child. Why are you picking on a child? She's your daughter."

Qin Dongguo snorted coldly, "She's my daughter, I can discipline her however I want."

The second brother used his fire-based supernatural ability to dry Qin Nianshu's clothes. Now that they were no longer wet and cold, the smelly mud was completely stuck to her clothes, like an indelible stain, following her like a shadow, impossible to get rid of, just like before.

The second son asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Qin Nianshu lowered her head and said, "It's nothing."

The second brother, who was squatting on the ground talking to Qin Nianshu, then noticed that Qin Nianshu's eyes were grayish-white, exactly like the eyes of a zombie, exuding an eerie feeling that sent chills down one's spine.

The fear of dealing with zombies for so long made the second brother suddenly release Qin Nianshu, take two steps back in terror, and look at Qin Nianshu with a wary expression.

When the others saw him like this, they asked, "Second brother, what's wrong? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"

The second brother quickly stood up, staring warily at Qin Nianshu, and asked Qin Dongguo in a trembling voice, "Boss, are your daughter's eyes grayish-white? Why do they look like a zombie's eyes?"

Qin Dongguo frowned. "No, it's black."

Qin Nianshu had stared at him countless times with fearful yet innocent eyes; how could he not know what color Qin Nianshu's eyes were?

The second brother was somewhat frightened. "But I saw that her eyes were grayish-white, the same grayish-white as a zombie's, cold, eerie, and devoid of emotion."

Qin Dongguo was skeptical, but he grabbed Qin Nianshu's hair and forced her to look up, where she met those grayish-white eyes.

"Holy crap, it's really grayish-white, what's going on?"

The gray, emotionless eyes, a feature unique to zombies, now appearing on a child's body, are chillingly unsettling.

Just as the fear in their hearts was slowly rising, they heard Qin Nianshu speak, "Colored contact lenses, they look good."

Hearing this, the fear of zombies in their hearts eased a little.

The third brother chuckled, "That's right, zombies have no humanity. Your daughter is a living, breathing person, how could she be a zombie?"

The fifth brother was speechless. "Kids these days have such strange tastes. Why are they even imitating zombie eyes? It's creepy."

Qin Dongguo glared fiercely at Qin Nianshu, "You're sick. This child has been abnormal since she was little."

They continued to queue, and no one paid any attention to the little children following them.

They had been queuing from morning till afternoon, and when it was finally almost their turn, Qin Dongguo couldn't wait to rummage through his body for the crystal core he had hidden there.

After drinking two vials of the ability-enhancing liquid, he will soon become a level five ability user.

A level 5 ability user? That's an extraordinary ability user.

The five thousand crystal cores were divided into several bags and placed on several people.

They wore layers upon layers of clothing to hide the crystal cores close to their bodies, fearing that someone might discover them and try to steal them.

At this moment, the group lined up, lifting layer after layer of clothing to reach for the innermost crystal core bag.

But the waist area where the crystal core should have been placed was empty.

Qin Dongguo's heart skipped a beat, "Where's my crystal core?"
