Chapter 220 A Rare Opportunity
The atmosphere was extremely awkward, and Han Shuo knew he had come in at the wrong time.
He quickly rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself.
"That's strange. I've been staying up too late lately, and my eyesight is failing. Suddenly I can't see anything."
"Never mind, let's go to the infirmary for a check-up first."
As Han Shuo spoke, he turned to leave quickly.
"Come back!"
Yu Qing's voice came from behind, and then she glared at Qing Yu before continuing.
"You stay here! I'm leaving!"
Then, Yu Qing quickly straightened her clothes, strode out of the room, and closed the door behind her.
Han Shuo noticed that Qing Yu remained silent for a long time, instead staring at him with a strange look in her eyes.
"Cough, cough."
He coughed lightly twice, then said apologetically.
"Uh... I'm sorry, Brother Qingyu, I knocked on the door just now, but you were probably too focused to hear me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shuo suddenly realized that if Yu Qing walked out of the room like that, she would definitely be seen by the soldiers outside.
He asked again, still puzzled.
"Uh, bro, your...golden romance with Sister-in-law Yu Qing has gone public?"
Han Shuo originally wanted to say that he was in love with her at dusk, but he reacted quickly and changed his words in time.
After all, Qingyu is only forty-five or forty-six years old this year, which is middle age and not old yet. She is not yet at the age for twilight romance.
Moreover, soldiers are generally in better physical condition, and after Qingyu became a genetically engineered human, his physical functions were comparable to those of a young man.
As the saying goes, at thirty one is like a wolf, at forty like a tiger, and at fifty one is like both a wolf and a tiger.
If we calculate it that way, Qingyu is in his prime.
...
Actually, it's usually Qingyu who pins Yuqing against the wall; today it's just that the atmosphere has been right, so Yuqing took the initiative.
However, Han Shuo witnessed that scene, which made him quite embarrassed.
Fortunately, Qingyu's steady personality, honed over the years, allowed him to quickly regain his composure.
"Well, since you've seen it, I won't hide it from you anymore."
"Yu Qing and I have been in a relationship for many years, and we made it public to our subordinates yesterday."
He had just gotten to this point when he suddenly remembered a question.
"Wait a minute, what you just said made it sound like you already knew about our relationship?"
"Oh no! I let it slip."
Han Shuo thought to himself, and in order not to reveal Xiao Zhao's gossip about Qing Yu's background, he quickly changed the subject.
"Oh, dating is normal, it's perfectly normal..."
"By the way, Brother Qingyu, Xiao Zhao is here too. He'll come to see you in a bit."
Sure enough, upon hearing that Xiao Zhao had arrived, Qingyu stopped dwelling on the previous topic.
He turned around and sat down in the chair, responding without any politeness.
"Hmph! You little brat, at least you have a conscience, you even brought Xiao Zhao to see me."
"Phew... In the end, we didn't sell Xiao Zhao."
Han Shuo breathed a sigh of relief and greeted him with a smile.
"Brother, what are you saying? Xiao Zhao has always regarded you as the best captain, so naturally I have to bring him to visit you often."
After saying this, Qingyu nodded in satisfaction.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. I feel relieved to entrust Xiao Zhao to your team."
Qingyu admires people who are grateful and repay kindness, after all, he is that kind of person.
He knew he hadn't misjudged Han Shuo; Han Shuo was not only capable but also knew how to be grateful.
Most importantly, Han Shuo has always taken very good care of Xiao Zhao.
Qingyu already knew that Xiao Zhao had become a genetically engineered human shortly after joining Han Shuo's team.
In his view, Xiao Zhao's initial choice was correct; he gained far more from Han Shuo's team than he had from his own.
This certainly includes more than just improved skills; most importantly, Xiao Zhao has found friends who understand him and is becoming happier and happier...
"Alright, let's skip the formalities and talk about your last trip. How much turbid liquid did you get?"
Qingyu waved his hand and went straight to asking about the things that interested him.
"33 drops!"
"What!?"
As soon as Han Shuo finished speaking, Qing Yu jumped up from his chair. This number really startled him.
"Yes, 33 drops."
Han Shuo also knew that this number was quite exaggerated. Under Qing Yu's shocked gaze, he slowly told Qing Yu about the whole process of this trip.
During this time, there was nothing hidden, and everything was told to the truth.
Han Shuo has always treated Qingyu this way.
"Haha, good lad! Although there were a few dangerous moments along the way, it was all worth it to gain so much!"
As expected, Qingyu showed no blame whatsoever after hearing this; instead, she praised him heartily.
Because he also understood the principle that fortune and wealth are found in danger.
Especially now that we are in the midst of the apocalypse, simply being patient and cautious can only save one's own life. Only someone as bold and meticulous as Han Shuo can take control of their own life.
Qingyu asked himself, if he were leading the team through all these experiences outside, he would never have done better than Han Shuo.
Because that's the kind of drive and daring that belongs to young people, a drive he himself has long since passed...
The two chatted for a while, and soon after, there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Zhao came in.
Qingyu was clearly happier to see Xiao Zhao than to see Han Shuo.
However, Xiao Zhao was dressed in a bizarre, colorful outfit, and after taking off his military uniform, he looked completely different, which made him feel a little awkward.
Fortunately, Qingyu wasn't old-fashioned. Instead of blaming him, she pulled Xiao Zhao to her side and inquired about his recent situation with concern.
Seeing that the two were chatting so enthusiastically that he couldn't get a word in edgewise, Han Shuo shook his head helplessly and sat down on a chair to the side.
After some time, the two had finished catching up and Han Shuo prepared to leave with Xiao Zhao.
"Oh, right, you two wait a minute, I have something to do."
Qingyu stopped the two of them and then took out a document from the drawer and handed it over.
"This is the task that Chief Steward Wang issued to all the guard teams yesterday, instructing us to keep an eye on the ordinary survivors and see if there are any outstanding talents among them."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Han Shuo took the documents and examined them carefully.
"I can only say it's a rare opportunity; you see for yourself."
Qingyu smiled and kept everyone in suspense, offering no further explanation.
Han Shuo didn't ask any further questions, because at that moment, his attention was entirely focused on the documents in his hands.
The more he looked, the more excited and shocked he became.
This document contains information issued by Chief Steward Wang to recruit and utilize special talents.
The content is quite detailed, and the general meaning is as follows:
We don't consider identity; we only consider an individual's professional competence.
Anyone with outstanding qualities or special skills has the opportunity to be recruited by the underground research institute.
Most importantly, the personnel being called upon will be issued red identity cards directly.
What does this mean? It means being able to become one of our own in the underground research institute.
"Brother Qingyu, can I borrow the data for a moment? I'll return it to you later!"
Han Shuo was overjoyed and quickly bid farewell to Qingyu, then hurriedly returned to his residence with Xiao Zhao.
He knew he had to seize this opportunity.
