Chapter 43 Chen Chen regrets Gu Jinsheng cooking for him personally
The H country psychic stuck out his neck and sounded very tough, but his shaking legs still betrayed him.
The Jingshi Base Psychic on night duty smiled amiably and said, "Our Jingshi Base is not a den of bandits. We have always distinguished between gratitude and resentment. Since the people from your base have not committed any crime in our Jingshi Base, we will not detain you without reason."
"It's just..." The night watchman pointed at the brown rice and cabbage in the hands of several H country psychics and said, "Our Commander Zhou has issued an order. In order to relieve your base's concerns and not cause trouble for your base, he specifically instructed that all the materials your base bought from our Jingshi base should be recycled at the original price, so that you don't have to worry about the quality of the items sold by our Jingshi base after you return."
The faces of several H country psychics turned pale and blue. A commander had indeed said something like this before, but the H country psychics didn't take it seriously. They thought that the commander was just saying it casually to vent his anger. They never thought that he would actually ask people to guard them at the airport.
If there was no execution, the H Country psychics would definitely not hand over the things obediently, but after watching the execution, the H Country psychics realized the tough style of the Jing City Base, and they would start fighting at the slightest disagreement, and they did not dare to confront them head-on.
They dared to swear that if the Jingshi Base used nutrients to trade with their country, then even if the people from the Jingshi Base wanted to slice them up for research, Country H would not only have no objection, but would also send researchers with their own scalpels to help in person, for fear of dirtying the clothes of the Jingshi Base researchers.
After all, even a powerful country like the United States has to bow to nutritional supplements.
Several H country psychics did not dare to argue and handed over all the materials they bought at the Jing City base. They even dared not embezzle the materials hidden in space by one of the space psychics, for fear that the Jing City base would find out and detain him, and he would never be able to leave.
After the supplies were handed over, the night watchman let the H people leave and watched the plane fly away.
The night watchman said through the intercom: "Report, the plane carrying the H people has taken off, and all the supplies have been recovered."
"receive."
The H countryman flew away from the Jingshi base before he dared to speak freely and cursed, "Jingshi base is too stingy. It's such a big base, but they still sent people to guard such a small amount of stuff and ask for it to be taken back. They are so petty and will never achieve anything!"
Another supernatural being also cursed: "A bunch of ignorant barbarians, claiming to have a cultural heritage of five thousand years, but they don't even know how to entertain friends from afar! The etiquette is far worse than that of our H country. I will never come to such a barbarian place again."
"Yes, never again!"
As to why those psychics dared not come again, only they themselves knew that they were simply frightened by the methods displayed by the Jing City base and dared not come again.
At this time, the people from the Third Base were on their way. Although they did not participate in the execution, the road leading to the Third Base and the Jingshi Base was covered by signals, and they could watch the entire process through live broadcast on their mobile phones.
After watching it, the people from the Third Base were shocked by the tactics of the Jing City Base and were speechless for a long time.
Even when the car drove back to the third base, Silent and the others were still in shock, with an inexplicable fear of the Jingshi base lingering in their hearts.
This made Silent feel very bad.
He is now the commander-in-chief of the Third Base. He cannot hold back his bad mood, so he wants to find someone to vent his anger on. But he cannot choose the wrong person so as not to affect his rule. After thinking about it, he thinks of Chen Chen, the former commander-in-chief of the Third Base who is still lingering on and refusing to die.
The silent eyes suddenly lit up, filled with eager excitement and full of malice.
Even though Mo Chen seemed to not care about Chen Chen's abolished supernatural powers, he had actually been secretly sending people to keep an eye on him, for fear that Chen Chen's former subordinates would contact him and help him make a comeback.
Fortunately, Chen Chen didn't seem to be that successful in life. After he was driven away and became a useless person, no one contacted him anymore. Occasionally, one or two superpowers appeared in front of Chen Chen to add insult to injury, but none of them wanted to help him.
When Silent drove there, the sun had already set. The glow of dusk covered the entire earth, shrouding the entire world in a thin layer of gloom.
A dilapidated temple without a roof was filled with slovenly homeless people. They were staggering, unkempt, and had not showered for who knows how long. The smell on their bodies was so strong that it was hard to stop smelling. It was no different from the smell of a garbage dump, attracting a large number of flies hovering around them.
At this moment, Chen Mo didn't want to go in. It was too dirty. He couldn't put his feet down and stepped on cheap ground.
At this moment, a woman's sharp voice rang out, "We agreed to give you one steamed bun each time. You've done this to me several times, but in the end you only gave me half a steamed bun, and it's moldy!"
Then a homeless man's sated voice sounded, "Love it or not, if you don't want it, give it back to me."
"No, why should I give it to you? We agreed beforehand that I would give you one steamed bun each time I make it. You've already made it several times, and I'm still at a loss."
The homeless man snorted coldly, "It's good enough that I gave it to you. Don't be ungrateful and think you are the commander-in-chief's father and mother. Let me tell you, we will play with you for free and kill you. You have to bear it even if we don't give you anything. You still expect your useless son to support you. Don't dream!"
The woman's voice did not come back. After a few seconds, she whispered again, "Son, here is half a steamed bun. It's a little moldy, but you haven't eaten for a few days. Eat it first. I'll make you something delicious tomorrow."
After a long time, a man's difficult voice was heard, "Mom, I'm sorry for wronging you."
Just a few words made the woman's eyes fill with tears. She turned her head away so her son wouldn't see them, wiped them away, and said with a forced smile, "Why are you so hard? We are mother and son, why are we saying these polite words?"
Then there was a chewing sound.
"Hey, Commander Chen, I'm here at a bad time. Have you just finished your meal?" Chen Mo stepped into the dilapidated temple and said with a smile.
Chen Chen had already found it hard to swallow the steamed bread that he had obtained in exchange for his mother's body. When he saw his former rival and enemy, he felt as if the steamed bread in his mouth had turned into shards of glass. His mouth, throat, heart, and stomach were all aching.
He closed his eyes, but did not spit out the steamed bread in his mouth, but swallowed it.
“Why, Commander Shen came here on purpose to laugh at me?”
After swallowing the food in his mouth, Chen Chen replied.
Mother Chen stood in front of Chen Chen, looking like an old hen protecting her chicks. Chen Chen weakly pushed her away.
"No need to. I am in such a state now that I am not worth your attention."
Having your superpowers abolished is extremely harmful to your body. If you take good care of yourself, perhaps you will be able to be no different from an ordinary person in the future.
But Chen Chen didn't have that capital. He was lucky enough to survive day by day. Even if he was lucky, how could his body be healthy under such circumstances?
His current physical condition is even weaker than Chen's mother's. He is just holding on for dear life.
To be honest, Chen Chen was really boring like this, and Silent lost the desire to tease him. The smile on his face faded, and he looked at Chen Chen with a cold expression.
"I came here this time to tell you a piece of news." Silently looking at Chen Chen, who had completely lost his former demeanor, with a blank expression, "It's about your old lover Ji An."
Chen Chen lowered his eyelids and looked at the ground without any response, as if the name Ji An could not cause any emotional fluctuations in him.
Silent curled his lips, "He is the one who made the space storage prop, Ji An. I suspect that the last time you were plotted against was also his plan."
Chen Chen dropped the steamed bread in his hand to the ground with a thud and couldn't hold it anymore.
"He is now living a very good life with the help of the space storage props. In particular, the four commanders of the Jing City base are cooperating with him in business. The broken stones he obtained in exchange for a little bit of supplies can be sold for tens of millions of credit points in a short time."
"You lied to me!" Chen Chen's emotions finally fluctuated. He struggled to stand up, but his body, which could usually force itself to stand up, couldn't stand up now no matter how hard he tried, and he fell down again and again.
"Believe it or not." Having admired Chen Chen's embarrassment enough, he turned around and walked out after the uncomfortable feeling in his heart disappeared. "I just don't understand. Ji An is devoted to you and is willing to sacrifice his life for you. He is also so capable that he has been with you for seven years in the apocalypse. Why do you leave him and choose that Tang Tang?"
Why?
These four words penetrated Chen Chen's soul. It must be greed!
He knew that Ji An loved him, and that he would sacrifice his life for him. But what was the use?
Ji An is just an ordinary person who can never awaken his superpowers. Even if he is willing to endure hardships and hone his combat power at the cost of his life, there is a gap between ordinary people and superpowers. No matter how powerful an ordinary person is, a low-level superpower can easily kill him with just one finger.
He couldn't help him at all!
Even though he later noticed Ji An's abnormality and vaguely guessed that Ji An might have awakened psychic abilities, so what?
It’s not that Chen Chen didn’t give Ji An a chance. He is not such a cruel person, and he doesn’t want to give up their seven-year relationship.
He secretly inquired with other bases and learned that psychics were the most useless existence. They were only slightly stronger physically than ordinary people without powers. Apart from that, their powers were completely useless.
Of course, psychic abilities belong to those with mental abilities. They may not be very strong in combat, but they have powerful brains and are good candidates for research.
The problem is that the Third Base is poor, and they can't get any experimental equipment. Moreover, Ji An hasn't even graduated from university, so what can he do even if he awakens his brain power?
Can you still do research? Those who do research are all smart. Not only do they have to be smart, but they also need someone to guide them and teach them. They need to study with a mentor for many years. Only the very smart ones can produce a little bit of work.
As for Ji An, it was impossible for him. Seven years of his life had been wasted in the end of the world. Even if he had studied hard, he would have returned all that knowledge to his teacher. What else could he know? At most, he would be a little smarter than others.
But Tang Tang is different. She has awakened two rare abilities, space and healing. Any one of these two abilities can allow Tang Tang to thrive in any base.
What does it matter if the level of superpower is low? Everyone starts from level one and upgrades little by little. Even if Tang Tang is a little stupid and her superpower upgrades slowly, it doesn't matter, she can always upgrade.
Anyone who compares these two people will choose Tang Tang and abandon Ji An.
He just made a choice that everyone would make.
Besides, he never thought of driving Ji An away, he just paid more attention to Tang Tang. There was nothing he could do about it, because Tang Tang worked hard and had an extraordinary ability.
Chen Chen was lost in his own thoughts. Suddenly, Shen Mo, who had already walked out, stopped. He did not look back, but just stood with his back to Chen Chen.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you just now. Ji An is now a third-level psychic. Not only is he good at research, but he is also stronger in combat than when he was in our base."
Silently said, "His psychic power has been materialized. Three psychic arrows shot out of him turned a level 6 psychic into an idiot! Although the level 6 psychic's power is not stable and he may have used special means to improve it, he is still a level 6 psychic. A level 3 psychic can cross levels and beat a level 6 psychic into an idiot. Even if you are at your peak, you can't do that."
"I really don't know why you don't want someone who is so talented in both literature and martial arts and who is so devoted to you?"
"But he never told me he was that powerful! I never knew!" Chen Chen couldn't help but yelled.
Why didn't Ji An tell me that his ability was so powerful! If he told him that he could fight against a higher-level person and shoot a high-level person into an idiot with three arrows, I would never give up on him no matter what!
The reason why I gave up on him wasn't because I didn't love him, nor was it really that easy for me to throw away the seven years of relationship between us. It was because his special ability was too useless!
He was the commander-in-chief of the Third Base! How could his lover be a low-level psychic? That would not help his career at all, and would make the people in the base look down on him!
Did Ji An know how much contempt and ridicule he had endured in the base over the years when he was his lover as an ordinary person? On the surface, they praised him for his deep love, but who didn't laugh at his partner behind his back for being a good-for-nothing gigolo?
But why didn’t you tell him when Ji An was so capable?
Isn't it Ji An's fault that they have come to this point?
Chen Chen only felt a dull pain in his chest, and his blood surged up, and he spurted out with a "wow".
This time, Silence did not stop and left.
"Xiaochen, Xiaochen, are you okay? You can't be in trouble. Don't scare your mother!" Mother Chen was so scared that she started crying.
"I'm fine, Mom, don't worry." What else can he do? He is no longer the high-ranking commander-in-chief. Now he is penniless. Even if he vomits blood and dies immediately, they mother and son have no money to see a doctor.
Chen Chen closed his eyes and tried his best to control his thoughts and not think about Ji An.
Mother Chen cried and cursed, "That bitch is also an ungrateful ungrateful wolf. You are so good to him and you have provided him with food and clothing. He often bullies others by relying on your position as the commander-in-chief. But now he has turned around and forgotten about you."
"And that little bitch Tang Tang deserves to be fucked by thousands of men. If she hadn't seduced you, why would Ji An be angry and leave you? If Ji An hadn't left, your supernatural powers wouldn't have been crippled. Even if they were, that idiot Ji An would still support you wholeheartedly!"
"And Song Pengcheng, I knew he was a snob. He even came here to bully us a few days ago. Bah, he doesn't even look at himself. He has suffered such serious internal injuries that he still doesn't dare to use his supernatural powers. How can he be any better than you!"
Mother Chen kept cursing, as if everyone in the world had wronged her. After she had cursed enough, she stopped, carefully looked at her son's face, and asked tentatively: "Xiao Chen, how about we go find Ji An?"
Once some things are said, it is easier to say them. "Ji An is doing so well in the Beijing base. Any bit of money he gets from his fingers will be enough for us to spend. Xiao Chen, let's go find him. Then, make a pitiful statement and put all the blame on that bitch Tang Tang, saying that she seduced you. Cry a little more, and kneel down to him. He likes you so much, he will definitely soften his heart. Then we can live a good life. Mom really can't live like this anymore."
Chen Chen shook his head, his expression several times worse than before Mo Chen came.
"Mom, it's useless. He won't be soft-hearted to me anymore." Chen Chen said this with a bitter feeling in his heart, "The reason why I've ended up like this and my abilities are all wasted is because of Ji An. He deliberately took revenge on me.
If we go find him now, we will probably get nothing out of it, and we will be thrown into a pile of zombies and fed to them by people who are trying to please him, just to please him."
Chen Chen no longer had any illusions about Ji An. He knew Ji An too well and knew how much Ji An hated him. It was because of this that when he knew that Ji An was the culprit for his current miserable situation, he realized how much Ji An hated him.
I'm afraid that even if he died immediately, Ji Andu would still be able to chat and laugh with others.
To be honest, deep down, Chen Chen didn't understand why Ji An hated him so much.
Is it because he slandered him? But he didn't really cause any harm to him?
Is it because of Tang Tang that he hates that he has a crush on Tang Tang?
But he slept with Tang Tang after Ji An left.
Upon hearing this, Chen's mother glared and started cursing again, "How could he be so vicious? Has he forgotten all the kindness you showed him in the past? You were just not nice to him, but he remembered it to his core and made you like this. He is indeed an ungrateful person who can never be tamed..."
No matter what Chen's mother said, Chen Chen regretted it, regretting it to death. Chen's mother actually regretted it too. If she had known that Ji An was so powerful and her son would end up like this, she would not have told her son to find a woman to give birth to a grandson. Now that her son couldn't even be saved, it was even more impossible to have a grandson.
Gu Jinsheng took Ji An to the hospital for a checkup. It turned out that he had overused his psychic powers. The doctor strongly recommended that Ji An take a rest. Ji An also wanted to take a break to stabilize his power level. When he came to the Jingshi base, his power was rising like a rocket, and he even rose two small levels. It was time to stabilize it, so he agreed.
Gu Jinsheng sent Ji An home, but he did not go back and drove back to the base by himself.
After Ji An returned, he poured himself a cup of spiritual spring water to relieve the pain in his brain, then lay down on the bed. He wanted to sleep, but his thoughts were out of control and he couldn't help but think of the mutant's crystal core again.
His hand unconsciously touched the space necklace on his chest. He always felt that this space necklace was a treasure, and it should be a very holy treasure, but why would it react to the crystal core of the mutant?
The crystal core of a mutant is not a good thing. It needs to be dug out while the mutant is still alive. Nothing except evil things will like something obtained in such a cruel way.
Ji An could feel the specialness and difference of the space necklace. He always felt that the space necklace would become even more powerful after being upgraded, but he just couldn't find the correct way to upgrade.
After thinking about it for a long time, he still had no clue, so Ji An simply stopped thinking about it and fell into a deep sleep soon after.
When I woke up again, I was awakened by the smell of food.
Ji An opened his eyes. It was already dusk outside. He walked out of the bedroom and saw the tall man in an apron with a Hello Cat pattern on it busying around in the kitchen.
All the cold and hard people are covered with a layer of warm worldly air, as if a high and mighty god was dragged into the mortal world, contaminated with the seven emotions and six desires, and possessed human desires.
Gu Jinsheng raised his eyes, his eyes were deep, like the table lamp that was turned on by the bed at night, not dazzling, but emitting a warm orange light, illuminating the road under his feet.
"Well, I went to bed as soon as I got back." Ji An came to the kitchen to help Gu Jinsheng get chopsticks and carry the rice bowl.
"You really should have a good rest." Gu Jinsheng said to Ji An, "You are not needed here. Go sit over there. I will be done with my work here soon."
Ji An still helped to serve two bowls of purple rice and sat down at the dining table, which was already filled with many dishes.
The first dish is a pepper platter, which does not mean that all kinds of peppers are stir-fried, but that the peppers are filled with your favorite delicacies.
First, cut the emerald green pepper in half along one side.
It is stuffed with freshly made shrimp paste, pepper-stuffed shrimp paste, cod paste, eggs and mutant pork.
This chili platter is made with four kinds of fillings. The chilies need to be fried in a pan until they are oily, and the fillings inside can only be served after they are cooked through. None of these methods are time-saving.
The second dish is stir-fried mutant chicken nuggets.
The third dish is garlic lettuce.
The fourth dish is spicy mutant beast meat.
Finally, there is a soup, tomato mutant steak soup.
These five dishes are all made with mutant beast meat. The mutant beast meat itself contains powerful energy, which is of great help to the improvement and consolidation of the superpowers of the psychics.
A superpowered person may not feel full even if he eats ten kilograms of ordinary beast meat, but he can be full with one kilogram of mutant beast meat. The higher the level of mutant beast meat, the higher the energy it contains, and the less the superpowered person needs to eat.
Ordinary people can also eat mutant animals. Although they cannot enhance their supernatural powers, eating them for a long time can strengthen the body, reduce diseases, and heal chronic illnesses in the body.
Of course, mutant animal meat is not cheap, but even so, most people still eat mutant animal meat. That’s because after the zombie virus breaks out, neither humans nor animals are spared and are infected at the same time.
Just like humans, most animals are also infected with the zombie virus, and they even spread it faster than humans. After all, humans are intelligent and know how to effectively control the spread, but animals don't know.
This leads to a higher infection rate in the animal world than in humans, with many animals either becoming zombies or evolving into powerful mutant beasts.
There were no zombies or mutated animals at this time - very few of them survived in the last seven years of the apocalypse, only one in a hundred.
With such a low probability, you can't find it even if you want to eat it. Scarcity makes things valuable. It's hard to find a non-mutated one and catch it to sell it, but no one is willing to buy it. It has no energy, can't enhance superpowers, and can't provide physical fitness. It's also expensive. No one is stupid, so who would be willing to buy it!
The last soup was served, and Gu Jinsheng sat down. He asked Ji An, "Do you like it? If you don't like it, you can tell me and I will change it later."
Ji An lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling, "I like them all, thank you."
Gu Jinsheng said: "I should thank you. Whether it's the nutritional supplement or what happened at the execution ground today, I should thank you."
"Then don't thank me." Ji An smiled, his eyebrows curved like a beautiful crescent moon, "We are friends."
Gu Jinsheng looked at Ji An deeply, and without responding to his friend's words, he said, "Let's eat."
"Good." The food cooked by Gu Jinsheng was delicious and appetizing just by looking at it. However, when he actually ate it, it was even more delicious than it looked, and was in no way inferior to the delicacies cooked by the chef.
"Gu Jinsheng, were you a chef before? How come your food is so delicious? Fortunately, you don't cook every day, otherwise I would become a fat man." Ji An praised sincerely. He can also cook. He can't say he is talented but he can't say he is a dark chef either. It's just an ordinary dish that you can eat. It's not bad but it's not delicious either.
Gu Jinsheng raised the corner of his mouth, "When I'm not busy anymore, I can cook for you every day."
Gu Jinsheng looked serious, staring straight into Ji An's eyes. Ji An couldn't make any promises, and his heart was pounding with panic when he was stared at, so he could only look away.
The two chatted about some other topics and finally finished almost all the food.
Gu Jinsheng asked Ji An to sit on the sofa to accompany him. He went into the kitchen to wash the dishes and chatted with Ji An idly.
"I will send off the delegations from various bases in a few days and then go into seclusion to absorb people with special abilities. This time, we will strive for level 6 special abilities. If everything goes well, it will take a day. If not, it may take longer. If you have any questions during this period, you can go to Zhou Qin, Kong Zhongcheng and Wan Xueying. I have already said hello to them."
"Okay, I understand." Gu Jinsheng has been stuck at the peak of level five for a long time. Now he has finally obtained the initial level six zombie crystal core. Of course, he has to advance as soon as possible.
Moreover, a lot of crystal cores were sold at this auction, and many people traded a lot of them privately. After this, there will definitely be many psychics breaking through and advancing in large numbers.
As the highest commander of the Jingshi base, Gu Jinsheng needs to be promoted as soon as possible to deter certain restless scoundrels.
