Chapter 38: Missing People at the Base
The original plan of the five-person team was just to find clues about the second-level zombies in the Dawn Base, and then use the restaurant's team of psychics to kill them, so there would be basically no risk in living in the base for a few days.
And now, Lin Luyan was sincerely grateful for her caution before setting off.
The water in the Dawn Base is so deep that you can't see the bottom.
…………
The temperature dropped sharply, the afterglow gradually occupied the blue sky and white clouds, and there was a hint of coolness in the gentle breeze.
According to the address Wang Jianjun had given him before, Qin Simu successfully found their home. His pockets were bulging with a small pack of tissues that Lin Luyan had stuffed into his pockets.
When they were visiting the street vendors yesterday, they specifically inquired about the exchange value of daily necessities and food in the Dawn Base. Two small packages of unopened tissues alone were worth a crystal core.
The soldier's inexplicable notice made several people uneasy. Wang Jianjun was their only source of information, so they took out an extra pack of tissues to find out more "secrets" of the base.
The Wang family has a large population of seven, including Wang Jianjun's family of three and his eldest brother's family of four.
When Qin Simu came in and saw the three children, he was obviously stunned. He didn't expect that Wang Jianjun had a three-month-old baby boy at home who needed to be fed.
Wang Jianjun's wife was a sensible person. When she saw Qin Simu come in, she immediately took her sister-in-law and several children into the room, fearing that the children's shouting would disturb their conversation.
His elder brother also went back to his room early to rest, leaving them enough privacy to chat.
"Tao Daxiong, come here and sit here." The hospitable Wang Jianjun pulled Qin Simu and let him sit on the most comfortable chair in the house.
Tao Daxiong is Qin Simu's pseudonym at the Shuguang Base. This name was chosen by Lin Luyan. It sounds like a rural person, which matches his current personality.
Wang Jianjun was just about to pull Qin Simu aside to greet him warmly, but the other party looked extremely frightened.
Tentatively asked him about the security situation at the Dawn Base.
Speaking of public security issues, Wang Jianjun immediately thought of something, but he was also a smart man, so he first asked Qin Simu indirectly why he had such a question.
Qin Simu looked extremely frightened. He placed his hand on his frantically beating heart and stammered unconsciously, trembling as he spoke:
"I... I just saw someone being kidnapped in a sack. It's horrible. Brother Wang, can we call the police from the base? It's fine if this happens outside, but the radio clearly said that the Dawn Base is peaceful and comfortable, just like the society before the apocalypse."
At this moment, Wang Jianjun's face was obviously filled with an unspeakable embarrassment. He hesitated for a long time before he uttered a word.
"Nobita, you also said that this is the end of the world, and it must be different from the past. People like us should just take care of ourselves and live our own lives."
This answer was not what Qin Simu wanted. He felt that Wang Jianjun must know more.
"Brother Wang, what do you mean by this? Please tell me, I will keep it absolutely confidential."
In order to show his sincerity, Qin Simu waved his hand, and the bowl on the dining table was instantly filled with neatly arranged ice cubes, so many that it was about to overflow.
Such a spectacle shocked Wang Jianjun so much that he didn't even dare to blink. Why did he get tired after releasing too much of his supernatural power at once, while Tao Daxiong could produce so much easily like a magic trick?
Comparing yourself to others is really frustrating.
Faced with the huge temptation of interests, Wang Jianjun couldn't help but tell everything he knew.
He thought that if he didn't say anything, Tao Daxiong would find out sooner or later, so it wouldn't matter if he said a few words today, so he didn't feel any burden in his heart.
"Actually, a week ago, dozens of good-looking young men and women disappeared from the base intermittently. However, most of them were prostitutes, so it didn't cause much of a stir."
"Among those who disappeared four days ago, there was a friend of a water-type psychic. After the water-type psychic couldn't find anyone, he went to the upper level and caused a huge disturbance. Later..."
Qin Simu leaned over curiously and asked, "What happened next?"
The ice cubes in the bowl were sparkling and juicy. Wang Jianjun couldn't resist his thirst, so he reached out and took a piece, licked it with his tongue, and moaned with satisfaction.
"Later, the water-based psychic who stood up for his friend also disappeared."
Wang Jianjun has thought very thoroughly about life after the end of the world. He wants to live one day at a time. As for other trivial matters, he doesn't want to get involved, and of course he has no ability to care.
Qin Simu seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that their prediction was correct. There was indeed a problem inside the Dawn Base.
This piece of information is enough. Given Wang Jianjun's status and position in the base, it is not easy for him to know this.
As the only person with superpowers in the family, Wang Jianjun did not abandon his wife and children, nor did he abandon his siblings. He supported the whole family by himself, which was enough to show that he had a kind and pure heart and was someone worth making friends with.
Whether Lin Luyan and her companions can escape from the Dawn Base safely or not, they may need Wang Jianjun's help in the end.
Thinking of this, Qin Simu didn't intend to hide it. He took out a small pack of tissues that had been in his pocket for a long time and solemnly handed it to Wang Jianjun.
"Brother Wang, thank you for telling me this. I'm new here, so please take good care of me in the future."
A pack of unopened tissues, with its cool temperature touching the burning palms.
His palms felt heavy, as if they were holding a fortune.
"Brother Tao, what you gave me is too valuable. I cannot accept it. Don't worry, I recognize you as my brother today. If you encounter any difficulties at the base in the future, I will definitely help you if I can."
Wang Jianjun felt that he was reaching above his station after receiving a whole bowl of high-quality ice cubes, so he refused to accept the tissue. He pushed it back with his palm and tried hard to retract the nostalgia on his face. It took great courage and perseverance to keep his eyes from falling on the spotless white tissue.
In Qin Simu's eyes, there was no possibility of taking back something that had been given away, and he could feel that Wang Jianjun actually wanted the pack of tissues, but he was not a greedy person, so he forced himself to return it to him.
Because of this, Qin Simu liked Wang Jianjun even more and he forcefully stuffed it back, refusing to take it back no matter what.
It was almost seven o'clock in the evening. The two had almost finished chatting, so Qin Simu stood up and said goodbye.
Given the unclear situation in the base, the hospitable Wang Jianjun didn't dare to keep him for too long. It would be dangerous if he encountered any criminals on the road.
The door closed quietly. Wang Jianjun's wife Wu Yue heard the noise outside disappear and walked out quietly. Seeing the table piled with ice cubes, the corners of her mouth raised and her smile was very bright.
He quickly called out to the other people in the room, saying that their family had met a distinguished person.
Lin Luyan and the others were still waiting in the living room for Qin Simu to come back, just like they did at noon.
In addition to wanting to hear the news he found out outside first, I was also worried about his safety.
