Jiang Qingwan glanced at Ye Qi, then looked at Zhou Ming who was waiting for a reply, and explained helplessly, "Alright, you two stop worrying about being friends. As long as you're not enemies, it's fine, right?"
Zhou Ming, being the person in charge, was very perceptive and immediately burst into laughter: "That's right. As long as we stand on the same side, even if we're not friends, we still have revolutionary friendship."
Ye Qi pressed his advantage, saying, "Then we're not only not enemies, you're also my benefactor. How can I repay you?"
Zhou Ming made a "go away" sound as he continued to try to win over Jiang Qingwan, saying, "She is also my benefactor, and even more so the benefactor of our entire Qingshan base. Let me repay her first."
Jiang Qingwan looked speechlessly at the two who were inexplicably vying for attention, and finally relented: "Then after you receive your rewards, you two can treat me to a meal."
Zhou Ming clapped his hands, his joy evident: "That's great! I'll apply for the reward right now."
Jiang Qingwan asked in confusion, "Aren't we on our way to collect the reward?"
Zhou Ming explained, "Of course, you're on your way. But our superiors want to personally reward you. It's a sign of respect for the strong."
Jiang Qingwan waved her hand: "There's no need to go to such lengths. It's just a task."
Hearing this, Zhou Ming disagreed a hundred times and said solemnly, "What are you talking about? There are many people who take on missions, but very few who can complete them. Those who exceed expectations like you are even rarer."
Ye Qi muttered to himself, his voice not loud, but just loud enough for those around to hear: "So talkative."
Zhou Ming pretended not to hear and continued to praise Jiang Qingwan's prowess.
Jiang Qingwan couldn't refuse the various compliments, so she nodded awkwardly in response.
After Zhou Ming's fingerprints were identified, the sturdy door slowly opened.
The lobby at the entrance.
There was only a small table and one security guard.
Security personnel greeted him politely, bowing and scraping, saying, "Colonel Zhou, you've arrived. Commander Wang has been waiting in his office for quite some time."
Zhou Ming nodded and asked routinely, "Nothing major happened while I was away, right?"
The security personnel replied, "No. Everything is normal."
Zhou Ming led Jiang Qingwan and Ye Qi upstairs.
Zhou Ming knocked on the door of Commander Wang's office.
"Please come in."
Zhou Ming opened the office door and invited Ye Qi and Jiang Qingwan in first.
A radiant middle-aged man sat in a black leather executive chair.
Zhou Ming proactively reported: "These two powerful individuals helped us deal with the nearby zombie horde and eliminate the leader of the Dark Zombies."
Zhou Ming then began to introduce the three individuals one by one.
"This is Jiang Qingwan."
"This is Ye Qi."
"This is Commander Wang."
Jiang Qingwan and Ye Qi both smiled in response.
Commander Wang stared intently, his eyes gleaming, and immediately began poaching talent: "Interested in joining our Qingshan Base?"
“I can’t join. Jiang Si, Fang Xin, and Jiang Mu are all here…” Jiang Qingwan’s tone was full of difficulty and hesitation.
Commander Wang was incredibly enthusiastic and eager for talent. He immediately issued a unilateral expulsion order: "It's alright, we'll kick them out."
Zhou Ming whispered a warning: "This isn't good. They're also two ability users. Jiang Si, in particular, has a special poison-based ability. What if..."
Jiang Qingwan automatically finished her sentence: "If I were to poison all of you, that would be really difficult to deal with."
Then she let out a long sigh: "Alas. Jiang Si's special ability is useless against zombies, but it's a deadly weapon against her fellow countrymen."
Zhou Ming agreed, and finally couldn't resist asking, "May I ask what grudge you two have against each other?"
