Chapter 40 Rainbow City Base 7



Song Kaiji himself couldn't explain why, but he felt extremely lost and had a strong sense of crisis when he realized that there seemed to be other people with spatial abilities around Shen Qing, and maybe even another team.

Was it because he wanted to compete for more resources from Shen Qing? Or was it an inexplicable possessive desire? He couldn't tell.

Didn't come to see them for five days because he wanted to be with other people? With such a guess, Song Kaiji subconsciously and awkwardly wanted to keep Shen Qingduo with them.

Shen Qing glanced at Song Kaiji. Leaving a room for a night or a rest when things are not done can be done, but he does not plan to "live" in the apocalypse. In fact, Song Kaiji's previous guess was correct, he did not plan to stay in the apocalypse for a long time.

Shen Qing knew very well that his main focus in the future would still be in his original world. The end of the world was too unfamiliar to him. Not to mention the distant past, just take the words that the doctor mentioned yesterday, such as "high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high protein, nutrition". These words seemed to be very commonly used by people in the end of the world, but he didn't know them at all. He had to be careful to understand them indirectly.

In such an environment, if he answered a question wrongly, he would accidentally show his difference. And Shen Qing did not have an advantage living here: the power of the apocalypse was beyond imagination.

When he was watching the team of superpowers entering the city at the gate of the base yesterday, he saw some people who could spit fire, some who could spit water, some who could thunder, and some who could turn blocks of iron or something into various shapes and throw them around at will... If he never had the chance to awaken his superpowers, Shen Qing's own brute force would be no match for these.

Even if he could take over Qu Weiwei's military power, so what? Miao Xing and Miao Wang were already considered the best among the brothers, and Shiqu Village was also famous for its solidarity and protection of the weak, but did the Miao family, who took over Miao Xing and Miao Wang's military power, live a good life? Which women and men with brothers really lived better than men?

Holding someone else's force is ultimately uncontrollable. Shen Qing certainly hopes that Qu Weiwei is a good girl who is grateful and willing to serve him. But what if she is not? Or what if she is now, and changes her mind one day in the future?

Shen Qing's own conditions in this world are at the bottom, so why would he risk staying? He formed a team of superpowers just to protect himself, so that he would not be targeted by others, so that he could collect things that were useful to his original world more conveniently and efficiently, and when he felt it was safe enough, he would come to treat the illness on behalf of the Miao family.

As for the so-called useful things, such as gold and silver, he has collected a lot, so much that he cannot spend them all in this life or the next. Even if he stops now and never comes to the end of the world, he can still live well.

The reason why he still travels to the end of the world is that he is still a little greedy and wants to live a better life. But if he can't, Shen Qing glanced at Qu Weiwei who was still laughing foolishly beside him, and collected more supplies while he could. If one day he encountered insurmountable dangers and difficulties in the end of the world, or the people he trained were out of control, he would block or blow up the cave and never come to this world again.

The purpose of training manpower is to be safer, more convenient, and to invest less energy and emotion in this world.

Shen Qing turned his head away, not looking at Song Kaiji's cautious and hopeful eyes. He had been observing those rich young masters in his own world for a long time, and he could imitate them easily at this time: "No need, just leave a room for me, I will come here to rest occasionally. I also want to take this opportunity to see your abilities. In the future, our team will definitely recruit more people, and if nothing goes wrong, you two will be responsible for management. I believe you can find a residence that satisfies me." After a pause, Shen Qing said: "Does the team have to be named? You can decide for yourself, I believe you can come up with a name that satisfies me."

Isn't it embarrassing to let an illiterate person like him come up with a name?

After hearing what Shen Qing said, Qu Weiwei was shocked: after all, she was about to graduate and enter the society. Although she had not found a job, she also had a little sense of being a social animal: if the boss had to do everything himself, what was the point of having them?

Qu Weiwei quickly pulled Song Kaiji and said to Shen Qing with a flattering smile: "Don't worry, we promise to complete the task and make you satisfied!" Don't stop her. With such a good and generous boss, no one can prevent her from becoming the number one lackey in the apocalypse!

***

Early in the morning, Miao went to Lao Lian's house with a bag of copper coins.

No one knew what happened last night. Qing'er carried all the food in the house up the mountain in the middle of the night and took away the eggs. This morning, when Miao entered the kitchen, she was shocked. If you didn't know, you would have thought that the house had been ransacked: Shen Qing only left her half a bag of fine white flour, and nothing else!

After making a pot of dumpling soup, Miao went out to buy food and eggs. She had developed a good appetite and didn't know how to make lunch without eggs.

Lian Rong was playing shuttlecock with a few girls at the door of her house. The feathers from the wild pheasant's butt that Shen Qing found were very bright and beautiful, and she made a big shuttlecock with it, which made the little girl stand out among her girls. At this moment, she saw Miao approaching from a distance, and she greeted her crisply and ran home: "Mom! Mom! Aunt Chunlei is here to our house!"

The Lian family had just finished breakfast, and Second Aunt Lian was washing pots and dishes in the backyard. Although they were so close, she didn't treat Miao as a guest, so she said, "Tell your Aunt Chunlei to sit in my room first and wait for me to finish washing this basin."

Lian Rong agreed and ran back like the wind. Miao had already walked into the yard. Lian Rong quickly repeated what she had said, and Miao smiled and took out two snacks from her pocket: "Good boy, take them and eat them."

This is the jujube paste cake that Shen Qing bought from the town. The thin crispy outer skin is filled with thick jujube paste mixed with honey and walnut kernels, and probably lard. It tastes sweet when you take a bite. I heard that the chef of the pastry shop in the city spent a lot of money to learn it from Jiangnan. Even the city can't make it as good as them!

Lian Rong swallowed her saliva, took it but didn't rush to eat it, and ran back to her room: "I'll save it for my brother and my nephew to eat together!"

"What a sensible and good child." Miao felt that Lian Rong was more and more considerate and liked her very much. She was blessed with few children. She was pregnant and gave birth to three, but only Qing Ge'er survived. Maybe the more you lack something, the more you like it. Miao's heart softened when she saw such a cute and well-behaved child like Lian Rong.

"Hey, Qing Ge'er's mother is here again."

Hearing the voice behind her, Miao's smile faded a little. Turning back, she saw that it was Aunt Lian's sister-in-law, Wang, who came out of the east wing holding her little son.

Old Lady Lian has many children, but she has two of them, so they live in a spacious house. The eldest sister-in-law lives in the east wing, and the second sister-in-law Lian's family lives in the west wing. If the eldest sister-in-law and the younger sister-in-law are married, the family should be harmonious, but the eldest sister-in-law of the Lian family always dislikes the second sister-in-law Lian, and there are many conflicts between the two sisters-in-law.

Miao had a good relationship with Second Aunt Lian, but not with the old Lian family: because Old Lady Lian and Old Lady Shen had a feud in the past, they had always restricted the Lian family from talking to or interacting with the old Shen family. Miao had no friendship with the rest of the Lian family, so she naturally stood on Second Aunt Lian's side, and therefore just politely said hello: "Is the eldest sister-in-law at home? I came to exchange some eggs with Sister Hexiang, because the chickens in my family are still young and don't lay eggs very well."

Wang was secretly surprised. Miao had just come to her house a few days ago to exchange eggs. The Lian family had not divided up, and everything was public. She was afraid that Second Aunt Lian would use public things to subsidize her cousin, so she stared at Miao counting eggs and taking money. At that time, she exchanged more than ten eggs, and heard that she had exchanged them at other people's houses. Was she going to eat them all now?

Even feeding pigs doesn't happen so fast! After all, there is no old man to control her. This Miao family is also a person who doesn't know how to live. How extravagant!

But she couldn't say anything in front of Miao. After all, it was someone else's family's day, so they could live their lives as they wished. Besides, she didn't come out for this reason. She just asked Lian Rong, "What delicious food did Rong Jie eat just now? You were hiding it, afraid that your brother would see it?"

After that, she smiled at Miao again, shaking the fat boy in her arms, and hinted in her words: "I have spoiled this kid of mine. He is really useless. He can't stand seeing others' mouths moving. He is so greedy and will make a fuss if you don't give him food." Then she looked at Lian Rong and said, "What is Sister Rong eating? Share some with your brother."

The boy in her arms howled in response: "I want to eat good food, I want to eat good food! Sister is bad!" As he said that, he leaned forward and was about to go to Lian Rong.

Miao was just a bit soft-tempered, but she was not stupid, so she could see Wang's intention. However, Lian Rong lowered her head beside her, her body tensed, but her feet did not move, and it was obvious that she was very resistant.

Looking at the fat boy in Wang's arms, Miao suddenly felt that she didn't like children that much. As an adult, no matter how weak her temper was, could she watch a child like Lian Rong being embarrassed in front of her?

"I was so close, how come I didn't see Sister Rong's mouth move? You guys saw it in the room?" Miao looked at the boy in Wang's arms, and pushed Lian Rong again: "Sister-in-law, what you said is really good. The boy really can't be spoiled! If he is spoiled, he will make a fuss, lie on the ground, and roll around at every turn. This bad habit must be corrected from a young age, otherwise it will cost a lot of clothes in the future and you won't be able to wash them all. Sister Rong, go play, I see your sisters are waiting for you with shuttlecocks. I'll go sit in your room for a while. My health is not good, and my waist is sore from standing for a while."

Lian Rong responded as if she had been pardoned, and ran out of the yard. Miao was also the first time to be so tough in front of others, relying on her courage. Don't read the whole thing, she said it all, but her heart was beating like a drum. She didn't dare to look at Wang's reaction, turned around and walked quickly into the west wing, and was so flustered that she almost tripped and fell.

In the yard, Wang's face turned livid and she spat fiercely, "What a thing! You don't even have a kid, and you think you are qualified to teach me how to raise one?!"
