Chapter 39 Rainbow City Base 6



Shen Qing even had some regrets: since he didn't have to rely on blood ties, his range of choices could be expanded at will, and he should prepare a few more candidates: just like those people who were injured and disabled by the mutant willow tree in the hospital yesterday, he should have saved more of them!

Anyway, Shen Qing is not short of these supplies. If he saves them all, wouldn’t they all be like Qu Weiwei, the ones who have been saved by him?

By training more in this way, we can avoid being like some village girls and boys who only pin their hopes on one or two people, but unfortunately meet cowards, ungrateful people or those with very poor talents.

Although Qu Weiwei seems to be a good person, who can say for sure about talent? Shen Qing has also seen a tall and strong young man who came to his sister's house to help her vent her anger, but ended up being beaten up by his brother-in-law's family with only his mouth to say that his fighting skills were too poor. Where can you go to seek justice?

But as long as there are enough people, one or two good ones will always emerge.

But thinking of the old couple yesterday, Shen Qing didn't feel that regretful. He still wanted to choose someone like Song Kaiji who was easy to get along with and had good character. With such parents, the family might be very difficult to deal with in the future, which would cause trouble for himself. Qu Weiwei was not as good as him. Although his talent was unknown, Song Kaiji had carefully selected her for her character.

Shen Qing sighed. Since it was a thing of the past, he would not dwell on it any more. He could pay more attention to it in the future. He could also ask Song Kaiji to help introduce him - Shen Qing still trusted Song Kaiji.

Looking at the basket of eggs in his hand, Shen Qing smiled: Isn't there an old saying that goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket, that's what it means!

Qu Weiwei was also flattered when she looked at the eggs in front of her!

These are eggs! A full basket! After the apocalypse, she had eaten meat, although the chances were very rare: the meat of mutated animals with strange tastes would not kill people, but the taste was really hard to praise. After animals mutated, they seemed to evolve only in the direction of becoming stronger. The genes that had been domesticated by humans for thousands of years and served humans, which made their meat delicious, disappeared from them almost instantly.

And some vacuum-packed beef jerky and pickled pepper chicken feet that I accidentally got while scavenging supplies... But fresh eggs? There are not many non-mutated chickens now, who has time to lay eggs! The base does not raise poultry, and fresh eggs are now more rare than meat. Except for those space powers who awakened their space powers right after the apocalypse and ventured to sweep supermarkets and major farmers' markets, who else can come up with fresh eggs!

So much, all given to her? Although Song Kaiji told her that the boss had promised her good food and drink during her recovery, Qu Weiwei really didn't expect the boss to be so generous!

She stretched out her hand and then retracted it, as if she wanted to take it but didn't dare to.

Song Kaiji was also stunned. He had similar thoughts to Qu Weiwei. Who else could come up with so many eggs except for the space power users who awakened shortly after the outbreak of the apocalypse? Song Kaiji knew that Shen Qing had no power, so... He looked at Shen Qing with some mixed feelings. Could there be other space power users around Shen Qing?

It is very likely, otherwise where were the food stored before? Shen Qing could bring a lot of food every one or two days. If the food was stored in a certain place, it must be not far from the base. But if it was near the base, so many teams of superpowers went out on missions every few days and searched countless times, wouldn't they find it?

Then it is very likely that it exists in another person's space, and this person is often around Shen Qing.

Song Kaiji had never thought about it before, but when he suddenly thought about it, he felt a sense of loss for some reason. It was like he thought he was the teacher's favorite student, but one day he suddenly found out that the teacher was also teaching another class, and there was a student in that class who was more popular with the teacher than him.

He knew that there was no reason for this, and he also knew that he and Shen Qing only had a transactional relationship - at most he was trying to curry favor with Shen Qing in order to gain someone powerful.

But now he inexplicably develops some... possessiveness towards Shen Qing?

Song Kaiji watched Shen Qing force the basket of eggs into Qu Weiwei's arms: "What are you afraid of? Brother Song should have told you everything." Shen Qing pointed at the basket and said meaningfully: "The most important thing about following me is to keep it secret. As long as you do this, you don't have to worry about the food. I won't treat you unfairly."

Song Kaiji wanted to ask something, but swallowed it back.

However, Shen Qing brought eggs to Qu Weiwei, and did not treat him badly: Song Kaiji was different to Shen Qing after all. He was the first person he met in this world, and the person Shen Qing trusted the most. Now that he came to the end of the world, it was almost Shen Qing's habit to bring Song Kaiji some delicious food made at home.

Today we made leek dumplings: Now that the family is well-off, Miao prepared a very rich filling. Chives, eggs, vermicelli, and black fungus are chopped into small pieces, sprinkled with a few drops of sesame oil, and sprinkled with a small handful of dried shrimps to enhance the flavor. The dough is rolled very thin, wrapped into a round cake as big as a face, fried with lard, and wrapped in lotus leaves. As soon as it is taken out, it exudes a strong aroma.

Shen Qing brought two for Song Kaiji. Song Kaiji took them in his hand, but he was still not in a good mood because of his worries. How long has it been since Qu Weiwei had eaten such delicious food? The smell made her gluttonous. She came over and whispered to Song Kaiji: "Why, you don't like it? Then give me one? I'll exchange eggs with you!"

Song Kaiji glanced at her silently, and immediately put away the chive box: "This one doesn't have much protein, go eat your high-protein, high-nutrition food!"

Qu Weiwei: ???

Why did this person suddenly change his expression?

Shen Qing took them into the storefront again. As soon as they entered, Qu Weiwei's eyes widened. The room was full of food, neatly packed in bags, and it looked like it weighed hundreds of kilograms! She was really more and more glad that she agreed to join Shen Qing's team. This overwhelming wealth would one day be hers!

Shen Qing secretly rubbed his arms. He had carried all these bags up the mountain overnight, and he was so tired that his waist was about to break! Whenever this happened, Shen Qing envied Song Kaiji's space: Although it couldn't be used for fighting, it was still very useful.

Shen Qing asked Song Kaiji to put away all the food: "I will be a little busy these days, so I won't come over. You two should register the superpower team first, and then rent a better house." He promised the village chief to get rid of the wild boars on the mountain within five days. He originally came to Song Kaiji to exchange guns and bullets yesterday, but he happened to see Qu Weiwei injured, which interrupted his plan.

But when he left yesterday, Song Kaiji gave Shen Qing the two guns and all the bullets in his hand, which should be enough. And Shen Qing was not just fooling Aunt Guixiang, he actually learned how to set traps from an old hunter and was also making trap-related preparations, so it was not necessary to use a gun to kill wild boars.

After making arrangements with Song Kaiji and Qu Weiwei today, he would go to the mountain to make arrangements and focus on hunting wild boars.

Song Kaiji said that other teams with special abilities all live together, so that they can take care of each other's family members without special abilities. This is very similar to the whole family living together in the village to gather strength. The rich and powerful teams will rent a villa in the inner city, while the poorer ones will rent a few bedrooms and a living room in the outer city.

Since he wanted to win people over with the attitude of supporting his brother, Shen Qing naturally planned to provide them with better living conditions. When he sent Qu Weiwei back yesterday, he went to the iron house where Song Kaiji and Qu Weiwei lived. It was even worse than the houses in their village. It was drafty and leaked when it rained. It was only slightly better than the tents outside the base.

Shen Qing didn't need the money to buy rice, so he imitated the tone of the little brother who doted on his younger brother the most in the village and said softly, "Leave enough food for you two for these days, and sell the rest. Go buy whatever you want to eat or buy, don't treat yourself badly. The rest, exchange it for crystal cores." Shen Qing glanced at Song Kaiji, and saw that he had been drooping like a lost puppy since he gave eggs to Qu Weiwei just now. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say the words to tilt the resources towards Qu Weiwei: "...divide the crystal cores equally, and both of you should improve your abilities. I'll come again in five days, and see you here at this time."

Forget it, forget it, he doesn't need this little bit of supplies, what's wrong with feeding Song Kaiji? It's just a matter of carrying two more trips!

Qu Weiwei was so moved that she almost cried. She had trouble finding a job before, was rejected for the superpower team, and was hit by a mutant willow tree... The reason she encountered so many bad luck was just to accumulate all her luck to this moment, to meet Shen Qing, right?

What kind of angel boss is this? He doesn't ask the members to go out and risk their lives to form a team. He takes out a large amount of supplies first, and even exchanges them for crystal cores to enhance their abilities! "Boss, I will definitely work hard and obey your orders. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west!"

Song Kaiji, on the other hand, put away his things and moved closer to Shen Qing, hesitatingly saying, "So...are you going to live in this rented house? It will be our team's base in the future, won't you come with us to choose our future home?" He blinked at Shen Qing and said, "What should we name our superpower team?"
