Everyone in the room, including Tang Wenjie himself, was stunned. After a long time, Song Kaiji spoke first, exclaiming: "You are really good!"
What Tang Wenjie awakened turned out to be a rare and powerful gold power! You know, among the currently known powers, gold and lightning powers have always been recognized as the first and second in attack power - who is first and who is second, the two sides are unwilling to give in, and the debate is undecided. In short, the fire power can only retreat to third.
Moreover, Tang Wenjie had clearly just awakened, and I don’t know if there was a healing psychic who helped him to break through and sort out his energy. At this time, the strength displayed by Tang Wenjie was no less than that of a mid-level second-level gold psychic!
The metal spikes he just fired were his innate weapons brought by his superpowers. Just like Qu Weiwei's vines, they could be created out of nothing without the need for additional seeds. Generally speaking, a newly awakened gold-type superpower could only condense toothpick-sized spikes, which had very limited power and could hardly kill a zombie in one blow. When they reached the peak of level one, they could condense an index finger-sized spike. As soon as Tang Wenjie's spikes condensed, they were the size of chopsticks!
Tang Wenjie had also met some people with special abilities on the way to the base. He was also very surprised at his extraordinary strength. However, after being surprised, he was even more delighted. He hugged Tang's mother and tears came out of his eyes: "Mom! I have special abilities now. I can protect you in the future. No one can bully us anymore!"
Shen Qing was watching from the side, and he felt his eyes sore: he remembered how similar he was to Tang Wenjie when he left the old Shen family with Miao Shi. Before, Shen Qing saw that Tang Wenjie, Song Kaiji, Qu Weiwei and others all had superpowers, and he was envious. But now he felt that maybe that cave was the superpower given to him by God.
The crossbow and pistol he got from the cave were also unmatched in his own world. Wasn't it similar to Tang Wenjie's current strength? He should be content.
The mother and son hugged each other and cried for a while, which made everyone feel sad. On the one hand, it was the joy of finally getting what they wanted after suffering, and on the other hand, Song Kaiji and Qu Weiwei couldn't help but think of their families.
Qu Weiwei was from Chicheng. Chicheng was more than 200 kilometers away from Hongcheng, which was not too far before the end of the world. It took less than two hours to get there by high-speed rail.
But after the apocalypse, such a distance is not easy to reach. The most important thing is that on the second day after the apocalypse, before the communication was cut off, her parents could no longer be contacted.
At first, I could still get through to my aunt's family who were also in Chicheng on the phone, but on the fifth day after the apocalypse, no one even answered the phone at my aunt's house.
She actually knew what happened, but she didn't dare to think about it and didn't want to face it. She just spent her days in the Hongcheng base in a daze. If it weren't for Shen Qing and Song Kaiji, she would have died quietly in that iron house soon after her hand was cut off, becoming a passer-by in this world. Now seeing Tang Wenjie and his mother hugging each other, she couldn't help but feel sad.
Song Kaiji was in a similar situation. He was better than Qu Weiwei in that before the communication was completely cut off, his relatives were still able to contact him and agreed to meet him at the Hongcheng base. Although it had been more than half a year and there was still no news from his relatives, Song Kaiji still had hope because of this agreement.
"Son, son," After crying for a while, Tang's mother came back to her senses and pulled Tang Wenjie to introduce him to Shen Qing: "This is Boss Shen, the leader of Xiao Song's team. Before you were in a coma, we went to the city. It was Boss Shen who paid for us, hired a healing psychic for you, and settled us here. You should thank Boss Shen!"
Tang Wenjie was a little surprised. If his mother hadn't told him, he would have thought that all these were paid by Song Kaiji. He had a good relationship with Song Kaiji, and he felt at ease to lend Song Kaiji some money, but he didn't have much psychological burden. But it was different for an outsider. He had seen Shen Qing and Song Kaiji go in and out of the base together before, but he originally thought that Shen Qing was Song Kaiji's friend or teammate, but he didn't expect that he was actually Song Kaiji's boss?
At the same time, he also remembered the energy that seemed like a pair of gentle hands in his dream - it must be the healing power user that Shen Qing invited for him. Tang Wenjie suspected that his power was stronger from the beginning, maybe because of this.
Song Kaiji also took the opportunity to say: "What are your plans for the future? Why not join our superpower team. Our boss is a very nice person. I'm not exaggerating, our team's welfare benefits are definitely the best in Hongcheng Base." Song Kaiji said half-jokingly.
Shen Qing had already talked to him about wanting to recruit Tang Wenjie into the team. Since he had been Song Kaiji's roommate for three years, Shen Qing knew his character and personality inside out. Everything else was easy to talk about, except for one thing - Song Kaiji said seriously: "But we require that you must be loyal to the team. All matters in the team must be kept confidential and no one can tell. Are you willing to join?"
Tang Wenjie also straightened his expression: "Boss Shen has been very kind to me, of course I am willing, as long as Boss Shen does not despise us mother and son." Even if this incident did not happen, he also wanted to be in the same team with Song Kaiji. He had just arrived at the Hongcheng base and knew nothing about everything. With Song Kaiji as an acquaintance, he always felt more at ease.
Besides, although his ability was quite strong, other teams would not be able to offer him good treatment when he brought his mother, an ordinary person. And from what he saw when he woke up just now, his mother was talking and laughing with others in the living room. It was a relaxed state that he had not seen for a long time.
This at least shows that during the two days when he was unconscious, the team treated his mother very well and did not look down on, bully or exploit her just because she was an ordinary person. Shen Qing did not look like a bad person, and the person Song Kaiji chose to follow was not bad. And Song Kaiji said that the team's treatment was good, and it must be true - how could the third brother lie to him?
Tang Wenjie thought of what his mother said, that Shen Qing had paid for the healing expert and the city entrance fee, and said quickly, "I feel well now, and I can go out and fight zombies anytime. I will definitely be able to earn back for the boss all the crystal cores that my mother and I spent before!"
Shen Qing didn't lack these crystal cores, but he was very pleased with his attitude. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. You just woke up not long ago. How can you go out and fight zombies right now? We don't torture people like this. Let's eat first."
During these two days of traveling to the end of the world, Shen Qing fell deeply in love with Mother Tang's cooking skills! Originally in Lantang Village, Miao's cooking skills were quite good. If the Shen family still had a little reluctance to part with Miao after the divorce, it was because of her cooking skills. Since the divorce, the Shen family has never had a satisfying meal!
Miao was a talented player who could cook the most delicious food even with very scarce supplies. But Tang's mother was different. She was very good at using all kinds of rich seasonings to make many flavors that Shen Qing had never tasted before: not only Miao's cooking, but Shen Qing had also eaten in restaurants a few times in Ping'an County before, and the chefs in those restaurants didn't cook as deliciously as Tang's mother's!
Although seasonings are extremely scarce in the end times, Shen Qing is rich and can afford them!
Today we planned to eat celery fried with bacon. The bacon was brought by Shen Qing, and the celery was just grown by Qu Weiwei, so it was the freshest. It was time for dinner, and Mother Tang put on her apron and went into the kitchen with the celery she had picked. While she was tidying up the pots and pans, she subconsciously muttered, "My dear children, today I will make you a celery fried with bacon..."
Shen Qing, Song Kaiji, Qu Weiwei: "?"
Mother Tang suddenly realized and smiled awkwardly: "Oh, the children were not at home before, I was bored, so I made a video account and live-streamed cooking." She chopped the celery and heated the oil in a wok: "Don't tell me, so many people like to watch it, and they are all young people who don't like to cook. They don't even learn how to cook, they just watch it for fun. I don't know what they are thinking."
Qu Weiwei smiled: "Oh, I didn't expect that Auntie is also a big anchor!"
"I'm not a big anchor, I can only make 30 or 40 yuan a day." Although she was modest, Qu Weiwei's tone still made Tang's mother happy: "Isn't this more than going to class before dawn to get eggs? I don't have any other hobbies, I just like to eat, otherwise I would be so fat?"
"Auntie isn't fat now."
"That's because I was hungry along the way!" Tang's mother said, "I used to weigh 180 pounds, so fat that I even staggered when I walked. It's all because of cooking. You must have tasted the saltiness while cooking, right? With one mouthful after another, won't you get fat slowly?"
Shen Qing thought: "My mother also loves to cook, but she is not fat." Is it because of the lack of seasoning? Shen Qing still hopes that Miao can gain some weight and look healthy!
Song Kaiji looked at Shen Qing secretly after hearing this: This was the first time Shen Qing mentioned his own affairs and his family in front of them. Looking at Shen Qing's expression, he could bring it up so naturally. His mother should still be alive? Where is she? Is she with... with another space ability user?
Eh? Song Kaiji suddenly had an idea: Could it be that Shen Qing's mother was another space-capable person around him?
I don't know why, after coming to this conclusion, although in Song Kaiji's heart, the other space ability user beside Shen Qing still existed, his previous little thoughts of jealousy and possessiveness actually dissipated a lot in an instant.
Put only a little oil in a big pot, first put the bacon in to make the oil come out, wait until the thin bacon slices are flattened until golden and slightly curled, then pour in minced garlic, diced onion, and dried chili, stir-fry for a few times, and the strong aroma will quickly emerge and fill the whole house. Finally, add the blanched celery segments.
At this time, Song Kaiji went to the kitchen, took out the entire inner pot of the rice cooker with steamed rice, and placed it on the dining table.
Looking at the full pot of snow-white rice, Tang Wenjie was almost in a trance: everything was peaceful and relaxed now, just like before the end of the world, there were no viruses or zombies in the world! He just invited his classmates to his house for a meal, his mother was busy in the kitchen, and his father...his father hadn't finished get off work yet, and he would be back on time.
Mother Tang quickly fried the celery and bacon. There were no other dishes, and there was no need to put them on a plate. She put some paper on the table and directly brought the pot to the table: "My dear children, it's time to eat!"
After finishing two big bowls of rice, Tang Wenjie was completely devoted to Shen Qing: What kind of family is this, that can afford to let the team members eat like this?
At first he was reluctant to take some food, but seeing everyone at the table, including his mother, eating meat very naturally, he could not help himself. He ate up a large bowl of white rice and a large pot of celery and bacon, and finally he drank up all the soup in the pot with the rice.
Shen Qing didn't feel bad about the food, but seeing how he ate was really scary, he was afraid that he would get sick from eating too much. He gently nudged Song Kaiji with his elbow and said, "Why don't you try to persuade him? We still have dinner tonight."
He didn't want to say it, for fear that once he opened his mouth, Tang Wenjie would not dare to eat.
"It's okay, let him eat." Song Kaiji knew Tang Wenjie's appetite very well. Besides, the human body is sometimes very magical. At certain times, the body seems to know naturally: this is a tense moment and it cannot get sick.
After dinner, Qu Weiwei fiddled with her earthen basket. Shen Qing also brought radish seeds. Just now at the dinner table, Tang's mother said that radish fried with bacon was also delicious. Qu Weiwei was very active at the moment. She planned to produce a basket of radishes in the afternoon and asked Tang's mother to dry them.
Suddenly remembering something, Qu Weiwei took out a silver bar from her pocket and handed a handful of crystal cores to Shen Qing: "This morning, when Mother Tang and I were selling vegetables, we saw this and exchanged two stalks of celery with him. I sold the remaining celery for these crystal cores."
Shen Qing asked Song Kaiji to put the crystal core away, and took the silver bar to look at it. This was a 100g investment silver bar, square and with words Shen Qing didn't recognize. This was easier to sell than silver jewelry, and it didn't need to be crushed. Shen Qing fiddled with it for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed:
If Qu Weiwei's wood-type ability can make vegetables grow, then this gold-type ability user... ?
He took the silver bar and gave it to Tang Wenjie: "You can change the shape of metal, turn this silver block into..." Shen Qing thought about it, and was afraid that the people here didn't know what a silver ingot was, so he gestured to describe it: "It's about this big, with pointed ends, a bit like the shape of a boat..."
Tang Wenjie:?
