Chapter 52: End of the World: Initial Team Building 1



Miao: “Ah?”

Miao: “Ah???”

Although she knew that her brother had more and more ideas now, she never thought that he would have such an idea. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a moment: "This, this... How can we not get married? How can we have a baby without getting married?"

Shen Qing thought about it and also slumped his shoulders. It is very hard to have no offspring these days. When you are old and no longer have the ability to fight or work, it will be difficult to have a hot meal. Anyone can bully you! There is a saying that goes "kick a widow's door and dig up the grave of a family with no descendants".

Especially, Shen Qing had made many enemies when he was young. How many boys had he beaten? He had to be on guard against them settling scores later: "Alas, it would be great if we could have a baby without getting married..."

Miao was shocked by his words and slapped Shen Qing hard: "What are you talking about! Don't talk nonsense. How could such a thing happen if you are so careless? You will be drowned by the spit and may even be dragged to the pond!" Miao remembered the village rules that Aunt Guixiang mentioned last time.

Shen Qing was unhappy: "The Widow Li didn't even sink into the pond, so why should I be sunk?"

"You're still excited, right? What are you competing with that kind of thing?" Miao reached out and hit Shen Qing a few more times. But Shen Qing was just talking nonsense. In the end, he thought for a while and said, "I still don't understand this matter. I don't want to get married for the time being. No matter whether the person is good or not, I won't get married for now. If someone asks, just say that my family needs to save money to build a house and buy land. We don't have enough money and don't have the mood to think about these things. Let's talk about it after a year."

In a year, I think he will experience more things and gain more knowledge in another world. By then, these problems that he can't figure out now should be solved, right?

Miao was a little hesitant: "Wait another year? Then you will be twenty years old." Twenty is a hurdle. After passing this hurdle, you will truly be an old man.

"What are you afraid of?" Shen Qing didn't care. "The rich man in the county is in his seventies or eighties, and he can still marry a girl of sixteen or seventeen. I'm only twenty, how can I be considered old?" He is now richer than the rich men in the city!

"Just be poor!"

Shen Qing put these annoying things behind his mind: "I don't want to think about these annoying things. I have to go there tonight. I will prepare some things first."

There was not much rice at home, Shen Qing thought about it and took a few pieces of freshly smoked bacon, as they had plenty of meat at home. The freshly smoked bacon had not been completely dried, so the meat was not tough. Even if it was not paired with any dish, it was delicious just by boiling it in water and slicing it.

I packed two more frozen dumplings as a snack for Song Kaiji and Qu Weiwei. I don't know how they have been doing during my absence.

While Shen Qing was fighting the wild boar, Song Kaiji and Qu Weiwei were not idle either. Registration for the special power team was very simple. The Hongcheng base had a window hall dedicated to registering teams and issuing tasks.

Hongcheng Base has always encouraged people with special abilities to create teams, so the application procedures are very simple and the threshold requirements are not high: as long as the team has more than three people and there are special abilities among them, it doesn't matter what level they are. After successful registration, as long as you regularly accept the tasks posted in the lobby, you can get discounts on renting a house.

This can also be regarded as an invisible preferential treatment given by the Rainbow City Base to those with special powers, as well as an encouragement for civilian groups to undertake more missions and kill more zombies.

The two of them plus Shen Qing made up exactly three people. Shen Qing was not there, but the base information was posted at Song Kaiji's residence. Song Kaiji stuffed two hawthorns into the pocket of the registrar girl, and the girl swallowed her saliva and helped them get it done.

When asked about the name of the team, Song Kaiji thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it the Qingtian Team."

Qu Weiwei was confused and asked, "Master Qingtian?"

Look at the names of their teams, such as "Red Flame Team", "Lightning Team", "Thunder Team"... They sound very good at fighting, or "Get Rich Team", "Get Rich Quickly Team", "Zombies Can't Hit My Team" for good luck. And they seem to be going to the countryside to open a mobile court...

Song Kaiji smiled and said, "Isn't he?" Whether he can solve the case is another matter. Now Shen Qing has obviously become their breadwinner.

After that, they went to rent a house with their registration information. This was actually an employee benefit provided by Shen Qing, but Song Kaiji took it very seriously. After comparing the environment and prices of single rooms, apartments and villas, he finally chose a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment in the outer city.

It is located on the top floor, so it is quiet and not easy to be disturbed or peeped by passers-by. And the building originally has only five floors, so it is not tiring to climb up. The three rooms are the master bedroom, the second bedroom and a small study. They are not large in size, with only white walls and floor tiles, and no furniture or anything.

Fortunately, the water and electricity were connected, and Song Kaiji's space also had a lot of furniture and appliances that he had collected before, so it was just the right time to take them out and decorate them. The bed, sofa, dining table, refrigerator... were all placed in the right place, and the simple little house gradually began to have a sense of home.

Song Kaiji said to Qu Weiwei, "You live in the second bedroom, let the boss live in the master bedroom, and I live in the study. When our team grows bigger in the future and we recruit more people, I will exchange rooms with the boss and let him live in the study alone. The master bedroom will be used as a male dormitory, and the second bedroom will be used as a female dormitory. Is that okay?"

With this arrangement, each bedroom can accommodate at least four people with bunk beds, and the dining room can also be separated into a small room. In this way, there is no need to move houses until the team expands to at least ten people.

Qu Weiwei yawned. She had been working overtime with Song Kaiji for several days, but she was not sincere enough to let Song Kaiji outsmart her. Was he still so stubborn even when the boss was not around? "Didn't the boss say that he would only come over to rest occasionally? Why don't you arrange the master bedroom into a four-person room with bunk beds and let the boss live in the small room by himself? This way, he wouldn't have to move around."

Song Kaiji pursed his lips: "I'm not afraid of trouble." He wanted to give Shen Qing the best, even if he thought the best was just very ordinary and unnecessary for Shen Qing. He had some very secret and naive little thoughts in his heart: If this room is decorated very comfortably, Shen Qing might be willing to stay with them for a while longer?

Qu Weiwei held her face and looked at him: "Xiao Song, something is wrong with you. It's really wrong."

She had wanted to talk to Song Kaiji for a long time! When Shen Qing was there that day, she had this idea: It was Song Kaiji who introduced her to Shen Qing, but Shen Qing gave her a basket, but Song Kaiji was awkward for a long time. He didn't change the chive box, and he spoke in a weird tone. Who couldn't see that there was something wrong?

Qu Weiwei complained, "It's just a leek box, is it that serious? When I just woke up, didn't you bring me some buns to eat? I didn't feel bad at that time, but I felt bad immediately after the boss gave me the eggs! After that, I kept asking if Shen Qing would come to stay and if he wanted to look for a house with us. Come on, he's the boss, if he wants to stay, he can stay, if he doesn't want to, he can't. Why would he tell you about his schedule? Tell me yourself, is there something wrong with you?"

Song Kaiji did not deny it and lowered his head.

"So, why is this?" Qu Weiwei asked him.

Song Kaiji was also asking himself: "Yes, why is this?" He summed up his series of actions, reviewed them carefully several times, and suddenly found out in shock: his actions were actually a bit like jealousy! !

Song Kaiji was extremely surprised, his eyes were empty, and he muttered to himself: "Oh my God, I can't... I can't be in love with Shen Qing?"

Qu Weiwei: "??? Really? Are you really here for this?"

Speaking of Song Kaiji, he was a little famous in school, or in their baseball club. There was a reason why Qu Weiwei, a senior who was two years older than him, knew him. It was because not long after Song Kaiji joined the club as a freshman, a senior who was one year older than him confessed to him.

This is normal. Song Kaiji has a good appearance and a good personality. He is still a bit immature when he first entered college. He is the sweet type that my sister likes.

If someone confesses their love, you either agree, refuse, or flirt with them to create a lot of sexual tension. However, Song Kaiji touched the back of his head blankly and said, "...but I don't know if you are my type."

Senior: ???

Later I learned that since junior high school, when his body had undergone some normal development during puberty, Song Kaiji had often pondered a question: What type of person does he like?

Many classmates thought he was weird: "Sometimes, liking something like this has nothing to do with type, right? Maybe your ideal type is long black hair, big eyes, double eyelids, and a pointed chin, but in the end, the girl you like might have a round face, small eyes, and short hair. Who can say for sure?"

Song Kaiji thought it made sense and began to feel it. Then three years of junior high school passed, and he never liked anyone. Unknowingly, three years of high school also passed.

Song Kaiji thought about it and said: "I think I still need to know what type I like, and then go find it, otherwise my luck seems to be bad, and I always can't meet someone I feel like."

The senior was silent for a long time. She thought Song Kaiji said this on purpose because he had no feelings for her, or maybe... the man in front of her was really just a fool on the outside? Why was he so dumb?

Forget it, it’s not like there’s only one good-looking junior, so I’ll just slip away…

Because this matter was a bit weird, the senior student and her friends complained about it, and then it spread in a small circle within the baseball club.

Two or three years passed in the blink of an eye in college, and Song Kaiji still hadn't met anyone he felt attracted to, nor had he figured out what type of person he liked. The senior students at the time all asked him with their chins in their hands, "You don't dislike girls, do you?"

"Ah?" Song Kaiji was stunned. He had never thought about this question before, but when he thought about it, it seemed that he was not opposed to it. However, even if it was a boy, no specific style came to his mind.

Song Kaiji thought seriously: "It's not impossible. Maybe the type I like doesn't care about gender. As long as they have a trait I like, it doesn't matter if they are male or female. For example, sapiosexuality?"

The senior student calmed down this time. She was sure that this kid was a little weird.

Qu Weiwei had naturally heard of this gossip, and now she looked at Song Kaiji with some doubt: "Really? You haven't thought about what type you like in almost ten years, and now you suddenly realize that you like the boss? It sounds so fantastic. So you admire Qiang?" Qu Weiwei scratched her hair. Although Shen Qing is their boss, is he strong?

Song Kaiji had briefly told Qu Weiwei how he and Shen Qing met and what they had experienced together. Of course, Song Kaiji was sensible. He concealed some of his guesses about Shen Qing's background, although he didn't guess anything useful. He also concealed that Shen Qing had invited him to live in another place.

He had no way to explain to Qu Weiwei where the other place Shen Qing was talking about, and he didn't want Qu Weiwei to explore Shen Qing's identity and background.

This caused Qu Weiwei to lack some important materials... How to say it? From her perspective as a great scholar, there was really no ambiguous atmosphere between Shen Qing and Song Kaiji: Shen Qing bought things and ate food when she came, and asked Song Kaiji to find things. Song Kaiji was like a tour guide or a tool, taking Shen Qing around the base. The only thing that went beyond the scope of a tour guide was probably that Shen Qing lent Song Kaiji supplies to save himself.

Originally, this could be considered a big breaking point, after all, there were so many supplies! Promise, trust, sweet! But then Shen Qing showed his financial resources and his plan to form a team of superpowers, which reduced the sweetness a lot: It is very likely that Shen Qing had wanted to form a team for a long time, and he just needed a good opportunity to show his favor?

Qu Weiwei touched her chin. Even with an 8x zoom lens, she couldn't find any sweet spots between them. Now Song Kaiji said he liked Shen Qing? Wasn't that a bit too abrupt? She suspected that Song Kaiji was still the same as before, and didn't know what love was. It was just a misunderstanding and a brain watt.

Song Kaiji pondered, "Is it possible that people can't imagine things beyond their own cognition? Because I have never seen Shen Qing before, so I can't imagine the type of person I like? Now that I have seen him, I naturally know."

Qu Weiwei:? How did it rise to such a high level? I don’t understand.

"You should think about it carefully. It's not necessarily a good thing to really like a rich boss." Shen Qing is so mysterious, even a little bit invisible. Would he really accept this silly little idiot in front of him? It is very likely that Shen Qing will think that he has crossed the line, reject him politely and marginalize him... Both his love and career will crash. "What do you like about Shen Qing? Do you like his looks? It's not like you fell in love at first sight. Do you like his personality? Do you like his wealth?... He is very worthy of liking."

Song Kaiji was suddenly stunned, as if he was struck by Qu Weiwei's words, and his Ren and Du meridians suddenly opened up: It seems to be really like this!

When he saw Shen Qing giving a basket of eggs to Qu Weiwei, he felt a little jealous. He guessed that there were other space-based supernatural beings around Shen Qing, so he wanted to keep Shen Qing and tried his best to show that he didn't want to see Shen Qing's assets flow to people other than him. He had an inappropriate possessive desire for Shen Qing's assets!

Song Kaiji was heartbroken: "I didn't lust for his body, but his money. How could I be more despicable than the lowly ones? Wuwuwuwu!"

Qu Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief: Ah, I’m much more used to seeing Song Kaiji like this, he’s finally back to normal.
