It was the first time Shen Qing knew that there were so many types of balms. They all looked like white pastes, but if you looked closely, you could see that the textures were slightly different. Some were thinner and more transparent, some were thicker and milky white, and some even had some shiny things in them, and they smelled different.
Shen Qing marveled in his heart, but he was not very literate, so he had no idea what the functions of these balsams were, nor did he know what the differences meant. He could only pretend to take a few bottles and jars with extremely beautiful appearances and observe them carefully: the bottle body seemed to be made of shells, glowing with colorful fluorescence, and the bottle cap was inlaid with pearls bigger than hawthorns!
Even this bottle must be worth a lot of money, right?
As he looked at it, Shen Qing's eyebrows moved slightly: there was a word on the bottle, and he actually recognized it.
Shen Qing knew a few common characters, but he couldn't hold a pen or write. Miao taught him these characters: Shiqu Village had a school, and girls and boys would not be driven away if they went to listen to the school. Miao had also gone to listen to the school when she was young, and she knew a few simple characters. Shen Qing knew simple characters like Shen Qing's own name "Qing", as well as "big", "son", "good", "no", "one", "two"... Shen Qing knew them all. There were even some slightly complex characters that he couldn't remember when he looked at them alone, but when he put them together with other characters, he knew what to read.
Among the bunch of small words on the bottle, there was one that he recognized: "Bai".
Shen Qing held the bottle in his palm: Does this mean that the characters in this place are the same as those in his home?
Qu Weiwei's eyebrows jumped as she watched from the side. What did Shen Qing choose? "Oh, you guys don't know how to choose!" She didn't think Shen Qing didn't know these things, she just thought Shen Qing was a steel straight man who didn't understand them at all. She reached out and rummaged through the pile of creams, and picked out a few well-known brand creams with good reputations. She picked out a few moisturizing ones, looked at Shen Qing's complexion, and picked a whitening one: "Don't look at the beautiful bottle. It says something like a lady's cream on it. The price must not exceed 30 yuan. It's just to fool those old ladies in the sinking market who have just learned to shop online. It's okay to wipe your hands, but if you really dare to rub it on your face, your face will be rotten!"
The few items she picked out would have cost eight or nine hundred yuan even if there was a promotion before the end of the world. This must be the end of the world, otherwise Qu Weiwei, a female college student on the verge of graduation, would not be willing to buy them. She thought about asking Song Kaiji if he had this brand of essence, so that she could also experience the urge to be a rich woman. At the same time, she introduced it to Shen Qing considerately: "Everyone's skin is different. Apply a little on your face first, wait for a while, if it doesn't itch or feel uncomfortable, then apply it all over your face, in case you are intolerant to any ingredients. Here, these are moisturizing, and this one is whitening. Use the moisturizing for a while first, and then use the whitening when your face is no longer flaky."
Shen Qing took it seriously in his mind, and at the same time, he keenly caught the word "white" in Qu Weiwei's words. He picked up the bottle and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, there was a "white" on it that he recognized. He was more certain that the characters in the two worlds should be the same. And the word in front that he didn't recognize was probably the word "beautiful".
I just didn't expect that there are so many things to pay attention to when applying balm on the face. Shen Qing looked at Song Kaiji: "Do you apply it this way too? Moisturize first and then whiten?"
Song Kaiji: “…No.” He took out two bottles of sod honey from the pile, “I’m not so particular, as long as my face isn’t dry.” Why does a man need to be so white?
Shen Qing nodded and picked up a bottle to look at it. This bottle of honey looked much cheaper than the ones Qu Weiwei had chosen, but it had a "big" character written on it, which Shen Qing recognized.
Shen Qing then held the bottle in his hand: "Then I'll take one back to try." Shen Qing thought, if there is a chance, he should find some books here and compare them with the books he has back home...
Qu Weiwei's eyes became strange again: What is this that you have used? I want to try it too... What is there to try with a sod honey...
Song Kaiji was also stunned for a moment and turned his head slightly.
After seeing what Song Kaiji and Qu Weiwei had done during this period, Shen Qing still felt very satisfied: "Then I will go back first. I will come here directly to find you tomorrow and bring some seeds."
Qu Weiwei nodded repeatedly, feeling that a wonderful life was beckoning to her. Song Kaiji hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll take you there." Then he added, "... and by the way, go outside and dig some soil."
With Qu Weiwei's current ability level, she could also induce germination completely without soil, but the efficiency would be lower. They planned to find some foam boxes, or get some wood to nail into baskets, and then fill them with soil, so that Qu Weiwei could induce germination of a whole basket at a time.
Qu Weiwei coughed lightly and said, "Then I won't go. I'll tidy up at home." She put the facial creams that Shen Qing had not chosen on the bed back on the table, looking like she was very busy.
Song Kaiji was about to put the remaining cream back into the space: ...
Shen Qing had no doubts: "Then let's go."
The two walked side by side out of the base. Shen Qing initially thought that Song Kaiji had something to say to him in private, but after they both walked out of the base gate, Song Kaiji still kept his head down and said nothing. Shen Qing was a little bored, and felt that the atmosphere was strange, which made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable: he had visited Hongcheng Base with Song Kaiji before, but there had never been such a situation. Song Kaiji always talked and laughed while introducing everything about the base to him, and he was even a little chatty.
Shen Qing cleared his throat and started to make small talk: "When you go to dig soil, can you put the soil directly into the space, or do you have to dig it out of the ground first and then put it into the space?"
Song Kaiji was still daydreaming when he heard Shen Qing talking. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Let's dig it out first... I haven't tried collecting it without digging it out, maybe it can work, I'll try it later."
Shen Qing: "Oh."
Nothing more to say.
How strange! What happened to Song Kaiji today? Before Shen Qing could find a new topic, a man suddenly rushed out from the refugee tents beside him and stumbled towards them: "Old Third, is it you, Old Third!"
Shen Qing was shocked. Could it be that someone else had turned into a zombie? He had not seen many zombies before. Could there be a zombie that could talk?
Song Kaiji was also startled, and his first reaction was to pull Shen Qing behind him and stand in front of him. His homemade crossbow that he often used appeared in his hand instantly. The shaky figure paused, and then burst into tears at Song Kaiji: "It's me, Third Brother!"

Song Kaiji actually heard a hint of familiarity in the voice. After a closer look, he realized that it was the brother who slept in the bunk next to him: "Wen Jie?!"
It was no wonder that he didn't recognize him at first. Tang Wenjie, who was originally 1.80 meters tall and weighed 200 kilograms and as strong as a mountain, was now so thin that his cheeks were sunken.
Tang Wenjie had just arrived at the Hongcheng base with the rescue team three days ago, and like everyone else, he set up a tent at the entrance of the base to stay temporarily. Although Song Kaiji had asked about his relatives among the refugees, Tang Wenjie was not from the direction of Song Kaiji's hometown, so the two did not meet.
But just now when Song Kaiji and Qu Weiwei took Shen Qing into the city, Tang Wenjie saw Song Kaiji from afar. He didn't recognize them at first. Song Kaiji and Qu Weiwei were dressed cleanly and looked no different from before the end of the world. They were just like his illusion. When he came to his senses and hesitated to go forward, Song Kaiji had already entered the base. Tang Wenjie was a little unwilling to give up, so he squatted on the side of the road and waited, and he actually waited for Song Kaiji to come out.
Tang Wenjie hugged Song Kaiji and cried: "I finally saw my relatives... You don't know what kind of life I have been through!" He is a native of Hongcheng. When the zombies broke out, only he and his mother were at home. His father was out and lost contact. Fortunately, his mother usually had the habit of hoarding food. They hid at home for more than two months and ate almost all the food they had stored. They did not wait for official rescue, so they had to take the remaining food and set off to Hongcheng Base.
"We took several detours. We couldn't find anything without navigation. We also encountered bad guys, many bad guys, and almost died." Tang Wenjie wiped his tears. They moved to several temporary private bases. Tang Wenjie was forced to grow up in the repeated changes: the food he brought from home was taken away, and he took it back. He didn't dare to kill zombies at first, but now he can kill them with a steel pipe without blinking.
"It's not that I don't have crystal cores, but there are not enough for two people to enter the base, and I'm bringing my mother with me. Before, the official call for a team to hunt zombies, I signed up, but there were only a few people who signed up, and we couldn't form a team at all. In the end, it was nothing. We can only set up tents here first..." He killed a lot of zombies along the way, but firstly, he was not a superpower, so he didn't have the idea of digging crystal cores at the beginning, and secondly, he had to run away after killing many zombies, so he didn't have a chance to dig crystal cores. So even though he killed all the way, he didn't have many crystal cores in his hand. This is the disadvantage of fighting alone.
In addition, he had another worry: if he went out to hunt zombies by himself, he was really afraid that as soon as he left, his tent would be turned upside down by others, and those refugees would rob him immediately!
Although they had gone through hardships together all the way to the Hongcheng base, the friendship between the refugees was very limited, and they were more cautious and vigilant.
"I can go out and fight the zombies. As long as my mother stays in a safe place and doesn't let me worry, I will be able to collect enough crystal cores to enter the base! Third brother, can you..." As Tang Wenjie was speaking, he suddenly staggered and fell to the side.
Song Kaiji was startled and hurried to support him, but found that Tang Wenjie was burning hot!
He had seen Tang Wenjie's face flushed before, but he just thought he was too excited to meet him, and he was jogging just now. Only then did he realize that his face was flushed because he had a fever!
"Wen Jie! Wen Jie!" Song Kaiji shook a few times, but Tang Wenjie showed no sign of waking up. Shen Qing watched the whole process from the side. This Wen Jie should have a close relationship with Song Kaiji. His anxiety at this moment was genuine. When Qu Weiwei's hand was broken, Song Kaiji's attitude was just like this.
They are really close. In this case, Shen Qing did not stand by and watch. Seeing Song Kaiji panicking, he hurriedly reminded him, "Why don't we take him into the base first and find a healing person to take a look?" Ever since Qu Weiwei's limbs regenerated last time, Shen Qing thought that healing people were omnipotent in this regard. As long as there is money, they can save anything. "Let's go, don't delay. It's not like we don't have the money to treat him."
Shen Qing lifted Tang Wenjie up and weighed him. After half a year of wandering, Tang Wenjie had become skinny. How could he weigh 120 to 130 kilograms at a height of 1.8 meters? Shen Qing lifted him up onto his shoulders.
Song Kaiji: ???
He hurriedly took two steps forward, wanting to help Shen Qing hold on, but then he remembered the mother Tang Wenjie mentioned before he fainted. He hesitated for two seconds, then turned around and ran to where the tents were gathered: "Is Tang Wenjie's mother here? Who is Tang Wenjie's mother?"
Song Kaiji looked back at Shen Qing carrying Tang Wenjie, and thought that now he owed Shen Qing more and more.
