Shen Qing is Shen Qing after all. He grew up in bitter water, and he was a tenacious person who fought for his life with every ounce of hope. Although the blow was great, it was only temporary and could not break him down. Indulging himself in illness and coma for a few days was the limit, and he soon forced himself to cheer up again.
After confirming that he was the only one who could see the cave and that neither Song Kaiji nor Miao could pass through it, Shen Qing's original plan was completely disrupted. He had to quickly change his strategy and re-plan his future.
He didn't want to give up his relationship with Song Kaiji, so he had to travel back and forth between the two places. The sphere of influence should not only be expanded in Anping County, but also in the end times.
And it's not just about him and Song Kaiji... He had planned to have a healing psychic help Miao treat the pain left by a difficult childbirth, but now that's not possible.
However, this illness allowed him to see the medicines in the end times. It was a small oval capsule, not bitter at all, and effective in a few hours, which opened Shen Qing's eyes. However, medicines can be said to be the most expensive things in the end times. If you are injured, you can still find a healer, but for diseases like high blood pressure and high blood sugar, the effect of the healer is limited. Metformin and insulin have been hyped up to sky-high prices in the market, but they are still hard to find.
Now that he also has space for the jade pendant, he is not afraid of these things expiring or rotting. In the future, he will have the chance to collect more and try his best to cure the illnesses of Mrs. Miao and Old Lady Miao. He can also store more other broad-spectrum medicines, which may save lives someday.
In addition, Shen Qing also thought of the book he had listened to. In the first 90% of the story, the heroine was farming and doing business, and in the last 10%, she suddenly married a prince in distress. With the help of modern knowledge, she increased food production and invented weapons and munitions. She was named a princess and became a princess. Then the old emperor died, the young emperor ascended the throne, and the heroine's husband became regent. They became the most powerful couple in the dynasty.
Although the development of the last 10% of the plot was somewhat confusing and not as attractive to Shen Qing as the previous farming and management parts, Shen Qing still read out what the author wanted to express: to have more strength, to be second to none on the surface, but in fact, even the emperor has to call him uncle or aunt and have to look at their faces.
Especially after talking more with old bookworms like Qu Weiwei, I found that the endings of many novels are mostly like this. The protagonist has to become the strongest and most powerful to feel happy and safe.
Although Shen Qing did not have such great ambitions, nor did he think that he could have such great abilities at present, he also understood that whether in his time or when modern people looked at ancient times, they could not get around the issue of power.
In the end times, Song Kaiji has actually managed the team very well. Tang Wenjie's ability has improved very quickly recently, and he has already broken through level five. Since Qu Weiwei absorbed the gold crystal core, her wood ability has mutated, and now she can fight Tang Wenjie on equal terms. With the addition of Ge Bingbing, the strength of their team has reached a new level.
Three mid-to-high-level psychics are a very impressive team of medium-strength psychics, and no one dares to mess with them easily. When Shen Qing returned, he saw Song Kaiji clashing with others at the city gate. It was a dispute over territory during a mission.
Outside the safe range of Hongcheng Base, there are several pieces of good terrain close to the city, which are often fought over by various psychics. That person saw that their team was small and their leader Song Kaiji was a space-type psychic with little combat power, so he underestimated them and planned to squeeze them out and grab this Feng Shui treasure land.
As a result, Tang Wenjie and Qu Weiwei teamed up to beat them up. The team was still unwilling to give in, and when they met Song Kaiji and others at the city gate, they spoke dirty words to provoke them, and Ge Bingbing slashed their necks again.
This shows that although they are not weak, they still attract some blind offenses because of their small number and small momentum. Some teams of psychics who are not as strong as them, although there are only a few mid-level psychics, are not easy to mess with when they are all around.
Their team was now quite wealthy: they didn't have to worry about food and drink, as Shen Qing brought all the food from Lantang Village. With Ge Bingbing, they could melt ice to make drinking water, saving even the water bill. Food and drink were expensive in the end times, so this saved them a huge amount of money. The crystal cores they had saved along the way in Zizhou and those they had obtained during the missions in the past few days were not used at all except for absorbing and practicing. A rough count would be at least tens of thousands.
Shen Qing discussed the expansion with Song Kaiji: "The people in our core team should not change and should still live in this villa. We can rent a few apartments in the outer city and recruit some lower-level psychics. We can take them with us on missions to prevent others from looking down on us."
They have metal cage tactics, so even if they bring some ordinary people, there will be no danger. They don't even need to spend extra supplies to feed these people. They hide in cages to kill zombies, and they can earn enough crystal cores to feed themselves, so Shen Qing won't lose.
“If there are people with high talent and good character, you can consider recruiting them into our core team.” This was also the inspiration Shen Qing got from the outer city and the inner city. The base can be divided into the inner and outer cities, so why not the team?
It can even be divided into inner team, middle team and outer team. After all, Shen Qing has too many secrets, and it is not convenient to attract too many strangers into the villa. They can rent the villa next door, and the outstanding talents selected by the outer team can be placed next door. The treatment is the same as that of the core team, but they don't need to be too close.
How could Song Kaiji disagree? After all, Shen Qing could still leave. He would live in the apocalypse forever. Naturally, the stronger his team was, the better his living environment would be. In particular, the entrance to Shen Qing's cave was near the Hongcheng base and could not be moved. Who knew what would happen in the future?
Shen Qing was addicted to reading novels recently, and Song Kaiji also read a few of them. Many apocalyptic novels wrote about zombie waves and the destruction of small bases. Although Hongcheng Base was a medium-to-large base and would not be destroyed, it was better to be safe than sorry. Their team was strong, not only could they contribute to Hongcheng Base, but if the base was destroyed, they would also have enough strength to come back and find the cave.
This incident not only hit Shen Qing hard, but also made Song Kaiji start to consider being prepared for danger in times of peace.
During dinner, while everyone was there, Shen Qing and Song Kaiji talked about this. No one had any objections. Song Kaiji glanced at Ge Bingbing and asked tentatively, "Sun Cheng has approached me several times recently, saying that he hopes to join our team. He is now recruiting people in the outer city and will not live with us. Do you think we should recruit him?"
Song Kaiji said this not to upset Ge Bingbing. Instead, he saw that Ge Bingbing was still reluctant to part with Sun Cheng. But Sun Cheng also had problems. Every time he met Ge Bingbing, he would say nice things to her at first, but in the end, maybe because Ge Bingbing was nice to him again, he would bring up his family and provoke Ge Bingbing again.
After so many repetitions, Song Kaiji was tired of watching. He didn't have to recruit Sun Cheng, but wanted to see what Ge Bingbing's attitude was.
Ge Bingbing was silent for a moment before she said, "If he joins the team on his own, or if he brings his parents with him, but Sun Xian also needs to go on missions and kill zombies, then recruit him. If he still wants to support Sun Xian like before and doesn't let him go on missions, then don't recruit him."
Song Kaiji nodded, without saying anything more, but sighed in his heart. He also felt that Sun Xian, a strong young man in his twenties, had to stay at home and rely on his brother and sister-in-law, and even snatch his niece's food. It was really not a good thing. He, Tang Wenjie, and Qu Weiwei were all younger than Sun Xian. Which one of them didn't fight their way to the Hongcheng base? Sun Cheng also spoiled his younger brother too much. The couple who originally had a good relationship had such a family. It was a pity for Ge Bingbing.
Love is a matter between two people, but marriage is not, it is mixed with too much. However, it was not only Song Kaiji who sighed, Shen Qing and Tang Wenjie also felt a little lost after hearing this.
Qu Weiwei, on the other hand, had no love affairs in her mind but only food. She picked up a large piece of dried beans with chopsticks and said, "Let's hire a wood-type mutant. He doesn't need to do anything else but to help vegetables grow at home. I don't have the energy to do this anymore. We don't need to go out to sell vegetables in the future, but at least we have to take care of our own food. How long has it been since we saw fresh vegetables on the table?"
In the future, we will have to support a team in the outer city, and we will probably need more vegetables.
Ever since Qu Weiwei's wood-type ability mutated and became stronger, she suddenly fell in love with the feeling of going on missions and killing zombies, and her nausea was reduced a lot. I don't know if it's because she's adapted to it, or because she's become stronger. Now a vine with a metal skin can string up five or six zombies, which means five or six crystal cores. Isn't that more than selling vegetables? Now Qu Weiwei no longer cares about the little money she makes from selling vegetables. She has to kill as many zombies as she wants before returning from a mission.
She is fascinated by pursuing a career and becoming powerful!
This was not a big deal, so Shen Qing agreed and turned to look at Yu Le: "Leave this matter to Le Le. Tomorrow you go to the outer city to post some recruitment notices and conduct a preliminary selection."
Yu Le was digging the rice in her bowl when Shen Qing called her name. She nodded with joy. She always worried that she did too little, and was afraid that she would be kicked out one day because she was a burden. Now Shen Qing arranged a job for her, and she felt that she was finally useful! "Boss, don't worry, I will do this well and live up to your trust!"
Shen Qing and Song Kaiji have discussed that they will not drive Yu Le away, but it is a bit of a waste to keep her for nothing, so they should make the best use of her and let her learn to do some clerical work. Now there are people with special abilities in the team on missions, and management is the responsibility of Shen Qing and Song Kaiji, while logistics is left to Mother Tang and Father Ge. Yu Le is in charge of coordination and clerical work. In the future, when the team in the outer city is formed, material distribution, salary payment, dormitory arrangement, etc. can all be left to Yu Le, and young people have good brains.
This matter was handed over to Yu Le, and Shen Qing also asked her to help him find more time-travel novels. Shen Qing was very inspired after listening to that one, and decided to read more to learn how modern people did business in ancient times. Sometimes, while listening, Song Kaiji could even teach him to recognize words and learn the knowledge of this world.
Shen Qing and the others were discussing the temporary treatment for the newly recruited personnel. However, on the other side of the base, some people were anxious because Qu Weiwei had not been selling vegetables for a long time.
