Chapter 099 Chapter 99 Fell
Boom boom boom——
There was a knock on the door. An Qing immediately looked at the office door, then looked at her parents who were busy in the kitchen, and did not speak for a while.
The two people and the cat in the kitchen also heard the knock on the door.
An Weiguo and Li Xiufang were startled and looked outside nervously, and their eyes met An Qing's.
001 swallowed the food in his mouth and then said slowly, "Don't worry, outsiders can't see you without my permission."
It's the same as if it doesn't want others to see it, then others won't see it.
An Weiguo and Li Xiufang both breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they had just learned about the situation of the base from 001. They were both afraid that if they suddenly appeared, the people in the base would notice their unusual identities, which would cause trouble for their daughter.
After hearing this, An Qing said to the person outside, "Come in."
An Weiguo quickly walked to the door of the small kitchen and closed it gently, but did not close it completely, leaving a gap so that people outside could not see inside, but they could see what was happening outside from the inside.
The office door was pushed open, and Zhou Jing walked in quickly. "Base Commander, a lot of documents have just been handed over from various departments."
As she spoke, she placed the documents in front of An Qing. "Many people have suggested that the underground research institute be urgently converted into an underground fortress to provide shelter for the entire base."
An Qing flipped through the documents Zhou Jing sent over and read them one by one. They all had basically the same meaning. Could this be considered a joint letter?
Underground fortress?
Let’s not talk about the feasibility of converting the underground research institute into an underground fortress. Even if it is really converted into a fortress, it cannot accommodate everyone in the base, not to mention that sufficient supplies are needed to hide in the underground fortress.
Giving up the ground means giving up everything in the base, and the supplies currently available in the base are definitely not enough to feed the entire base.
Therefore, whether it is supplies or living space, the base will inevitably have to sacrifice some people.
According to the space of the underground research institute, 160% of the people in the entire base need to be abandoned.
An Qing looked at these documents. She was calm, but her mood was complicated.
It seems that people in any world are actually the same.
Even though the people in this world have been taught since childhood to consider the base and to preserve the human race, disagreements will arise when they encounter danger.
Some people will consider the entire base and all of humanity, while others will be more selfish and just want to survive and have enough supplies.
These documents all want to convert the research institute into an underground fortress, but An Qing can actually see the selfish motives in the words of those people, and who are really considering the future of the base and mankind.
An Qing closed the file and didn't read it again. "Have Qiong Jing and the others returned?"
Zhou Jing shook her head: "Not yet."
An Qing nodded: "Then you go out and keep an eye on them. Report to me immediately when they come back."
Zhou Jing: "Okay, Base Commander."
She turned and left. As she left, her eyes swept across the small kitchen in the office intentionally or unintentionally. She paused, said nothing, and closed the door after walking out of the office.
In the small kitchen, An Weiguo and Li Xiufang thought they were peeping outside discreetly, but they saw Zhou Jing looking at them and were so scared that they held their breath.
Only after Zhou Jing left did they breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the couple are now in a complicated mood. Their daughter was originally a delicate and gentle girl with a good temper.
But when they saw the conversation between An Qing and Zhou Jing just now, they found that their daughter had changed a lot.
Having been the base commander for a period of time, she obviously had more authority as a superior. When she saw those documents and frowned slightly, both An Weiguo and Li Xiufang felt a heavy pressure.
"Dad, Mom." An Qing walked over and gently pushed open the door of the small kitchen.
Li Xiufang came back to her senses and saw An Qing's relaxed expression. A smile appeared on her lips. "Qingqing, Mom made you a steak and steamed shrimp, clam and egg custard. Are you hungry? I'll bring it to you right away."
An Qing looked at her mother's sparkling eyes and expectant expression, and nodded: "Okay."
Both Li Xiufang and An Weiguo were very happy. They quickly brought out dishes from the kitchen. They were all An Qing's favorites, not just the two that Li Xiufang had just ordered.
Black pepper steak, grilled lamb chops, steamed egg custard, garlic choy, cabbage and pork dumplings, bone soup...
Although the portion of each dish was small, the quantity was really large, so much so that there was a lot of food in front of her. Even if her appetite had increased now, she probably wouldn't be able to finish it.
An Qing saw the familiar food and smelled the familiar aroma. She was touched and at the same time she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mom, you made so much in just a short time? I can't finish it. Can you guys eat it?"
001: "Although they can be touched now, they are just projections after all, and they can't eat."
It stared at the food on the table, almost drooling: "Host, if you can't finish it, give me some. I can eat as much as you want."
Li Xiufang looked at An Qing with a smile: "Qingqing, try it, has mom's cooking skills deteriorated?"
An Weiguo tried to make his presence felt by the side: "Dad is helping your mom."
An Qing: "..."
She picked up a piece of steak that had been cut into strips and slowly put it into her mouth.
Li Xiufang is a really good cook. Her steak is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, not at all dry. It bursts with juice when you bite into it, and the taste is just right, neither salty nor bland...
An Qing tasted each dish her mother cooked. All of them were delicious and she cherished them very much.
Li Xiufang and An Weiguo were watching from the side, their eyes gentle and loving.
An Qing was already full when she remembered, "Oh, where did these ingredients come from?"
Li Xiufang smiled and said, "001 gave it to us."
An Qing looked at 001, and 001 looked away guiltily.
An Qing stared at 001 and said, "I remember that my supermarket system doesn't seem to have steak, pork, or anything like that? So, where did you get the ingredients for my parents?"
Li Xiufang was stunned, a little confused: "No, nothing? Didn't 001 say that your supermarket system has everything?"
An Qing nodded: "Indeed, there is everything, but I need to unlock the shelves one by one, and I haven't unlocked a shelf in a long time."
001: "Now that I have a physical body, I can also take some food from the system supermarket. Don't worry, the food I take will not deduct your happiness points."
An Qing still looked at it: "You can take the unlocked shelf?"
001: “…”
It said, almost desperately, "Yes, as a system, I only have this little permission. Although I can directly access things in the system, there are very serious limitations."
An Qing: "..."
She was still thinking, since 001 can take things directly from the system without giving happiness points, then can she ask 001 to directly give her more body-tempering spiritual liquid?
In this way, she can directly build a cutting-edge army, and then she won't have to fear the mutated blood vine at all.
As a result, before she could express her thoughts, 001 said that there were very big restrictions.
An Qing asked with a glimmer of hope: "What are the restrictions?"
*
Zhong Yiji drove the car very fast, but soon, more and more vines attacked the car, and the weapons carried by Li Yu and Huang Jian were no longer able to clear a path for the car.
Several people had no choice but to abandon their car.
Fortunately, this place is not far from the edge of the dense forest.
Li Yu and a few others protected Zhong Yiji while clearing the blood vines around him as they moved forward.
Although there were many vines around them, each one was thinner than the other, like newly grown vines, and their fighting power was not very strong.
Not long after they moved forward, they seemed to find that these tiny vines could not stop them at all. After the blood vines were cut off, they did not grow again, but instead shrank back into the ground.
After a tough battle with the blood vine, Qiong Jing's breathing was a little rapid. However, Li Yu and the others were breathing steadily, without even a sweat on their foreheads. The battle just now seemed easy for them, and they just warmed up.
Even though he had discovered it before, he now had a higher assessment of the strength of these people.
Without the interference of the blood vines, the group quickly arrived at the edge of the dense forest.
Now that the beast tide has not ended yet, everyone is on alert, observing their surroundings vigilantly, and slowly walking into the dense forest.
The dense forest was very quiet, so quiet that there was not a single sound from the mutant beasts. This was very unusual. After all, a beast tide had broken out and the mutant beasts had entered their mating season, so the noise was very loud.
They walked slowly into the dense forest. When Li Yu carefully observed her surroundings, she didn't pay attention to her feet and was tripped by a thick tree root on the ground.
Li Yu's footing was unstable, but she reacted quickly. When she fell, she immediately supported herself on the ground with her hands, turned over and stood steadily, and looked back at the tree root.
Huang Jian and the others also saw that the thick tree root that had just tripped Li Yu was broken in half.
Huang Jian subconsciously gave Li Yu a thumbs up: "Captain, you are awesome."
Zhong Yiji frowned and said, "Isn't there something wrong with this tree root?"
The tree root originally arched up a step like an arch bridge, so Li Yu tripped when she was not paying attention. However, when the tree root tripped Li Yu, because of the force of Li Yu's fall, the tree root broke into two gaps on the left and right, and a piece of the tree root fell to the ground.
Qiong Jing was already squatting in front of the tree root, observing it with a frown. He touched it with his hand, then stood up and said, "This root is dead."
Die?
Li Yu was a little surprised: "How is that possible?"
Although she felt that the tree roots that tripped her seemed too fragile when she was tripped, she had never been on a mission before and was not sure whether this feeling was caused by her increased strength.
However, the mutant plants have strong vitality, and the dense forest is the home of mutant animals and plants, so how could they die?
Qiong Jing looked to the side along the tree roots and soon found the tree connected to the roots.
He walked over. The tree was as big as seventeen or eighteen people could hug. He didn't know what kind of tree it was before the mutation, but according to the base records, although this kind of tree grew very large after mutation, it had no mobility and no attack power. Although its leaves were highly poisonous, it was also a harmless mutated plant.
At this time, the tree was still tall, but the color of its bark looked a little different from before, and the branches and leaves high up in the crown seemed to be wilting, with a thick layer of fallen leaves covering the ground around the roots.
Qiong Jing reached out and knocked on the tree trunk.
Snap——
An indescribable cracking sound was heard, and the next moment, a loud bang was heard.
Zhong Yiji immediately grabbed Qiong Jing and led his men to retreat quickly.
However, the four people saw that the tree that Qiong Jing had just knocked on was cracking little by little from the root of the trunk, and then fell down in one direction with a loud bang.
boom--
The giant tree fell, hitting other trees, which also fell one by one, hitting other trees on the way...
Li Yu and others watched in shock as a tree fell, affecting the surrounding trees, so that the trees in the dense forest fell in all directions like dominoes.
