After leaving the Hongcheng base, Chen Jiaqian led several hundred mid- and high-level psychics back to their small base. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Today's operation was a great success, and they collected a lot of good things. Naturally, they have to give some rewards to the psychics who participated in the operation, and they also have to arrange some good meals during the New Year.
No one on Shen Qing's side was killed in this operation, but more than twenty people among the hundreds of psychics were injured and had to go back for treatment.
Shen Qing and Song Kaiji drove Qu Weiwei and Tang Wenjie around the newly acquired territory. The main reason for such a large territory was to enclose the cave. If they really explored it carefully, they found many good things that they could not imagine: to the south of the airport, there were also several express hotels and a convenience supermarket. Going further west, there were several small villages hidden in the large farmland, a small gas station, and a small breeding farm. Before the end of the world, it should have mainly raised fish, ducks, geese and other aquatic products, and there were several fish ponds.
But now the fish in the pond are either dead or mutated. Shen Qing and his friends stood by and watched for a while, talking about what they could do with the pond in the future, when a nearly one-meter-long mutant fish with dense shark teeth and tiny limbs like a gecko suddenly jumped up and almost bit Shen Qing's calf.
Song Kaiji shot a wind blade and cut off half of the mutant fish's head. The cut fish body gave off an unpleasant stench and fell back into the pond, but the other creatures in the pond did not despise it. With a splash of water, the nearly one-meter-long mutant fish was quickly eaten up, and the water surface returned to tranquility again.
"My goodness," Qu Weiwei felt a little sick and quickly pulled a few people back away. "Not many people come here. I don't know what kind of monster is raised in this pond. Let's go. We can't eat the things in here."
Shen Qing thought, if he summoned more supernatural beings to clean up the pond, and then asked water supernatural beings to put in clean water, he would get some fish and ducklings from Lantang Village to raise them, they shouldn't mutate, right? The fish mutated, probably because of the heavy rain during the outbreak of the end of the world, and they were infected with the X1 virus, and the fish and ducklings he brought were not there.
By then, their small base will be able to gradually become self-sufficient and eat fresh meat.
Thinking of this, Shen Qing looked at Qu Weiwei and Tang Wenjie again. Having experienced the power grab at Hongcheng Base together, their relationship has undoubtedly become closer and stronger. In the future, when building the base, Shen Qing will inevitably have to get some things from Anping County that are not available here, such as non-mutated fish fry, duck fry, and even piglets. In the eyes of familiar people, his origins are just a layer of window paper that has not been pierced.
Thinking of the blood that Song Kaiji had drawn from them in the space, Shen Qing decided to tell Qu Weiwei and Tang Wenjie the truth about the other world. He believed in them. Although Shen Qing did not completely trust Qi Zhan as for Tang Wenjie, he felt that if he told Tang Wenjie, Tang Wenjie would have his own considerations on whether to tell Qi Zhan and whether Qi Zhan was trustworthy.
So the car went around and around and returned to the rockery of the amusement park. "Why are we back near the Hongcheng base again?" Qu Weiwei and Tang Wenjie were led by Shen Qing and Song Kaiji to the halfway point of the rockery, and they became even more curious. However, the next second, Shen Qing and Song Kaiji stepped into the cave and disappeared in front of them.
The two of them widened their eyes in shock. Song Kaiji poured their blood on the big bluestone, and then the mountain wall in front of them disappeared, and the cave entrance and Shen Qing and Song Kaiji in the cave appeared in front of them.
"You, you guys..." Qu Weiwei was so shocked that she couldn't speak. After a long while, she shuddered and looked around to see if there was anyone. Then she quickly pulled Tang Wenjie into the cave and said, "How dare you tell us such a big secret like this?!"
Before, the Hongcheng Base Research Institute suspected that Shen Qing came from another dimension. They knew this, and even combined with some of Shen Qing's behaviors, they believed this conclusion in their hearts. But Shen Qing revealed the secret to them, and besides being surprised and shocked, they also felt the surprise of being trusted.
After the surprise, Tang Wenjie and Qu Weiwei looked towards the other side of the cave. What was Shen Qing's world like? Was it a peaceful world without zombies?
Shen Qing took out two sets of clothes from his space and handed them to them. Fortunately, Shen Qing also collected a few clothes for Miao Chunlei in his space. Qu Weiwei looked a little old-fashioned, but now she could only make do with it. Looking at the clothes, the two of them understood: "So it's from the ancient world."
Shen Qing and Song Kaiji first took them to their own Dongshan Manor. The manor was built magnificently and looked extremely wealthy. After a quick thought, the two of them immediately realized that it was no wonder that Shen Qing liked to collect gold and silver. In the last days, if he could exchange food for gold and silver and bring them back to spend, wouldn't he become very rich?
Tang Wenjie froze, and suddenly remembered that when they first met, Shen Qing asked him to condense a silver ingot. He always thought that this was a special training given to him by a smart boss. Could it be that Shen Qing really just wanted the silver ingot? ?
There were many servants in the manor, and when they saw Shen Qing and Song Kaiji, they all bowed and called Song Kaiji "Master" and Shen Qing "Master". The two walked around for a while, marveling at the sight, and also saw Zhang Sujuan, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, in the manor.
They had guessed that Zhang Sujuan was probably taken to a place where she was settled. It turned out that she was taken to another world! But what shocked them even more was: "Child?? Born by you two???" So the boss disappeared for a few months. Did she go to have a baby? They still occasionally worried about Song Kaiji, afraid that he would be dumped.
No, is there any secret method in this world for men to have children?
Zhang Sujuan was naturally very happy to see Qu Weiwei and Tang Wenjie. Seeing that they were also shocked, Zhang Sujuan was even happier: See, she is not the only one who is ignorant. Who wouldn't be shocked if they heard about it?
After learning about the unusualness of this world, Tang Wenjie was very surprised, but Qu Weiwei quickly accepted this setting. After all, she was well-read, so what was so strange about this setting! But after being surprised, she became curious and urged Song Kaiji and Shen Qing to take them around. So they harnessed the car, and the group drove around the village for a while before heading to Anping County.
Arriving at Anping County, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. This county town was nothing like what was shown in costume dramas, and the people on the streets were not wearing all kinds of beautiful, fairy-like Hanfu. Instead, it was a relatively small, half-new, and unhygienic city.
"Of course, this is just a small county, the city is better." Shen Qing has also watched many TV dramas, but the carved beams and painted buildings in ancient TV dramas are all palaces and royal palaces, or at least the homes of high-ranking officials in the capital. How can their Anping County compare? He has delivered things to the Jiaofang and Hualou in the city, which is considered one of the most luxurious and extravagant places in their entire city, and it can't be compared with the setting of most costume dramas.
However, "It's very safe here. There are no zombies and we don't have to worry about the intrigues with the Rainbow City base. I bought a lot of houses and shops in the county, and also bought a lot of land in the village, and a few workshops. I brought you here this time mainly to give you a choice. Do you want to live here?"
What surprised Shen Qing was that Tang Wenjie and Qu Weiwei both refused. If they had just met Shen Qing, they might have wanted to find a safe place to live, but after so long, they were no longer helpless chickens in the apocalypse. They had some of the most powerful superpowers and a safe, newly built base.
Tang Wenjie hesitated for a moment: "Can I send my mother over? My mother and Aunt Zhang have a good relationship. Recently, Aunt Zhang is not here, and my mother keeps complaining about her." Another point is that Tang's mother and Qi Zhan don't have a good relationship. Before Tang Wenjie and Qi Zhan were together, Tang's mother was very unhappy. Later, they separated for a while, but Tang Wenjie was very depressed. Later, when they got back together, Tang's mother couldn't say anything and turned a blind eye.
If I could see him less often, I think I would be in a better mood... I could also show more love to my son, regardless of whether he is close to me or not.
Shen Qing was originally a little entangled in the problem of Qi Zhan, but she didn't expect that Tang Wenjie didn't intend to tell Qi Zhan at all. As for Tang's mother, Shen Qing certainly didn't mind and agreed immediately.
Qu Weiwei wiped her mouth. They were in Shen Qingcheng's north house at this time. They asked for some sweet soup from outside and brought it in to eat. "My predecessors spent so much time, blood, sweat, and tears to fight for gender equality. I have such a strong ability now, and I am not dying. I don't want to go back to the feudal society where men are superior to women."
She stretched out her hand and pressed it on a pomegranate tree in the yard. The tree immediately blossomed and bore fruit. Within a few breaths, the branches were dotted with big, round pomegranates.
Even if she stayed at home with Shen Qing, she would not be treated like this. But Qu Weiwei could not stand the thought that she might suffer some inequality when she went out on the street, and she would have to kneel down when she saw the officials. Song Kaiji and Tang Wenjie could still pass the imperial examinations to gain fame, but they did not kneel when they saw the officials. As a woman, she had no channels at all, and she could not stand it at all!
"But! I am still happy to travel occasionally!" Qu Weiwei chuckled twice. Although the food in ancient times lacked seasoning and the taste was not as rich as modern ones, it also had its own flavor. In modern times, even before the end of the world, few stores would spend so much time and effort to make food. The few stores that would do this, with Qu Weiwei's financial strength before the end of the world, could not afford it. Like the red bean paste double skin milk in front of her, she had never eaten such a strong milk flavor, and the milk was not diluted with water at all. The red bean paste was also boiled for an unknown period of time and was very delicate. The modern instant red bean paste in bags could not compare at all!
"Thank you boss for treating me as one of your own and letting me experience the scenery of another world." Qu Weiwei said with a smile, and Tang Wenjie also agreed with a smile.
But the end of the world is, after all, the world where they were born and grew up. Now that they have their own base and there are no threats to their lives and survival, they still have a deep sense of dependence and belonging to that world.
Shen Qing was thoughtful, and turned around to ask Song Kaiji secretly when they were alone: "Do you feel more at home in the world over there? You must be very uncomfortable living here for me, right?" Put yourself in his shoes. Even if you have great power and wealth in the end times, you still regard Lantang Village as your roots. Developing the business here in Lantang Village is Shen Qing's top priority. Before officially being together with Song Kaiji, Shen Qing was ready to run away at any time.
Song Kaiji held his face and rubbed it, "It's not like I can never go back. Whenever I want to, I can just go and stay for a while. Even though Xiao Tang said he can't come, when he sends his aunt over, he will have to come and stay for seven or eight days every month." When Tang Wenjie was in college, he would go home every week.
"Baby, don't think so much." Song Kaiji hugged Shen Qing from behind and kissed his ear, "I have you, Sister Quan, and now my mother is here too. Where you are, that's where I belong."
…
After touring the county town, Tang Wenjie and Qu Weiwei were going back. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow were New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. This was the first New Year after the establishment of their new base. Tang Wenjie and Qu Weiwei thought it was very important and forced Shen Qing, the city lord, to show up on New Year's Day to give a short speech to boost the people's morale.
They came out of the main gate of the house in the north of the city and met a few young men who were visiting Cuihua Shop. One of them was dressed in simple clothes, but she was elegant and beautiful, with a bright red mole between her eyebrows, which made her look even more beautiful. She looked like a lotus flower emerging from clear water, naturally without any decoration, and she looked even more beautiful than Jie Miyun, who was stamped as a beauty by the gold-toothed man.
Qu Weiwei saw it at a glance and followed the man's gaze for a long time. Fortunately, she was a woman, so no one said she was rude for staring at him like that. But the man felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and covered his face with a silk scarf.
Qu Weiwei watched him go into the store until he was out of sight, then turned around and glanced at the red mole between Shen Qing's eyebrows. Knowing that this was a sign that one could have children in this world, she muttered in a low voice, "...If a woman could marry such a handsome man and let him have children, I would also be willing to settle down in this world. Who wouldn't be happy to get a beautiful wife and children for free?"
Shen Qing accidentally heard: ??? What? Is his ear hallucinating? ???
