Chapter 260
MR168845 plane.
In the morning, Tang Sheng watched his wife walk down from the attic and couldn't help asking, "Any news?"
Tang Xueyun shook her head and sat down on the sofa in a depressed mood.
Nearly 10 days have passed since they were supposed to receive the message in the bottle, which makes them a little worried.
After receiving the physical fitness eggs, they received two more messages in bottles. They were not short of supplies, but the delay in the news made them worry about their two children.
"Maybe they encountered something and were delayed while going out?" Tang Sheng said.
Tang Xueyun pursed her lips. She was worried because she thought that the two children might have gone out.
The end of the world is so dangerous, can An An and Xiao Qi cope with it?
"Don't think too much. The two kids are stronger than us now. Let's just be patient and wait." Tang Sheng said, "After dinner, let's go out and fight monsters together."
A month and a half had passed, and the impact of the deaths of the two advanced mutants had gradually disappeared.
With so many people gathered in their small base, the mutants scattered around the town were attracted here.
More and more mutant species appear outside the base's defense line.
The Self-Defense Forces have to deal with mutants trying to invade every day, and casualties have already occurred. Once the defense line is breached, this base that has been built with great difficulty will be destroyed.
Tang Sheng and his wife finally couldn't sit still anymore and now go out to fight monsters every day.
Tang Xueyun went to eat, and Tang Sheng put on his equipment -
This was sent back by the two bottles at the back. This black and gold cloth is not only invulnerable to swords and guns, but also has good elasticity and cannot be torn no matter how hard you pull it.
The purple-red sleeping pillow had been stuffed into the hood of his shirt. Once he put on the shirt, no one could get Tang Sheng to leave his pillow.
The only pity is that the pillow effect can only be triggered when you are lying on the ground, not when you are standing or sitting.
In addition to the top, Zhou Qi also made pants and a mask for him.
This mask has no straps, but it can cover the face firmly. It has no holes, but it does not affect vision and breathing.
Wearing this equipment, you can say that you are armed to the teeth. Even if you encounter the venom attack again, you don’t need to be afraid.
In addition, the son bought a pair of shoes for each of them.
These shoes come from the magical plane. When you put them on, you will feel light and airy. Although you can't really fly, you won't feel the constraints of gravity when running and jumping. It feels so good.
Of course, because of its good elasticity, this dress becomes a tight-fitting garment.
Tang Sheng felt a little ashamed, so he put on a normal coat and pants on the outside.
However, because the pillow behind his head was too conspicuous and his record was too outstanding, he eventually earned the title of "Pillow Superman".
After Tang Xueyun finished her meal, she put on her combat uniform, took her equipment, and told her daughter to do her homework at home. Then she left the magic tent, pushed open the door and left the truck.
There were a few idle children squatting a few meters away. When they saw them appear, they couldn't help cheering.
"Pillow Man! Monster Woman!"
Hearing this title, Tang Sheng and his wife couldn't help but dig their toes into the ground. Fortunately, the masks on their faces eased their embarrassment.
The two men closed the car door and quickly rushed to the outskirts of the base.
The children cheered again as they watched them jump away between the buildings.
Soon, Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun arrived at the first battlefield.
Seeing that the Self-Defense Forces and the mutants had already started fighting, Tang Sheng hurriedly shouted:
"Those mutants who stop moving get meat!"
As soon as he said this, the mutants who were fighting with the Self-Defense Forces suddenly stopped attacking and were pushed back a few steps by the Self-Defense Forces. They became furious for a moment.
However, this mutant no longer has a chance, because...
Tang Sheng jumped between it and the Self-Defense Force, and then - lay down directly.
A protective cover opens automatically.
At the same time, Tang Xueyun kicked the mutant that was rushing towards her away, and then landed two meters away from Tang Sheng.
She hadn't come into contact with Tang Sheng, but she was still protected by the shield because...
There was a cloth tied around her wrist, connecting it to Tang Sheng's hand. According to the rules, she was also a part of Tang Sheng!
Moreover, the effective range of the protective shield has also increased, and the radius has become the sum of their two heights!
This was something they figured out after many days of fighting.
When the Self-Defense Force members saw Tang Sheng lying down, they immediately ran over and grabbed the boss's hand. In this way, they also became "part" of Tang Sheng, and the range of the protective shield was increased again!
Tang Xueyun swung the sickle directly, chopping down the mutants inside the protective shield one by one.
After eating the physical egg, not only did her strength increase again, but her five senses were also significantly enhanced.
With the addition of magic shoes, he is now extremely brave in a fight.
Inside the protective shield, physical damage received was reduced by 100%, and psychic damage was reduced by 70%. Coupled with the protection of the combat suit, her brave fighting style not only achieved remarkable results but also minimized injuries as much as possible.
The Self-Defense Force members who were lying on the defense line and looking out couldn't help but have starry eyes.
With two big guys like this in charge, it really makes people feel safe!
Finally, after Tang Xueyun chopped down the tenth deformed monster, no more monsters dared to approach.
The level of these mutants is weaker, but there are enough of them. After their death, it should be guaranteed that no mutants dare to approach this direction within three or four days.
Tang Xueyun also felt tired. She looked at Tang Sheng while panting.
Tang Sheng quickly pushed away the Self-Defense Force members who were pulling at his arms, ran over and picked up Tang Xueyun.
Tang Xueyun's body was covered with mucus sprayed by the mutants, which smelled terrible.
Tang Sheng didn't despise her and just carried her back to the base, got into the truck, closed the door and entered the magic tent again.
His actions were as smooth as flowing water, and he didn't speak to anyone else during the process.
Everyone also knows that although these two big guys have strange looks, they have cold personalities, so everyone was tactful enough not to disturb them.
Only after they disappeared did warm cheers erupt in the small base.
Ten deformed mutants, this is already a big victory for them!
Inside the magic tent.
After taking a shower, Tang Xueyun dragged her tired feet to the sofa and lay down. Tang Sheng massaged her feet, and Tang Yuxin also ran over to massage her hands.
"The number of monsters seems to have increased." Tang Xueyun said.
Because mutations are not contagious, theoretically, the more mutants are killed, the fewer there are. However, the number of mutants attacking the base is increasing day by day.
Tang Xueyun couldn't help but worry when she thought of the two high-level mutant species that had been bred before.
"What's coming will eventually come. There's no point in overthinking it." Tang Sheng said, "Just close your eyes and rest for a while."
Tang Xueyun closed her eyes as she was told, and the next second, she saw the familiar dream sea.
When she opened her eyes, she was holding a message in a bottle.
"There's news about An An and Xiao Qi!"
She said happily, then quickly opened the bottle. When she heard the message Tang Yu'an left for her, she was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Tang Sheng found something wrong.
Tang Xueyun shook her head, then with a serious expression, she poured out the light brain from the bottle and started playing the video.
Tang Sheng was also shocked when he heard the plan that Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi talked about in the video.
Tang Xueyun's hands were shaking as she held the message in the bottle. She took a few deep breaths before carefully taking the space bag out of the bottle.
"Xiao, Xiaoqi is really in there?" Tang Sheng stuttered.
Tang Xueyun untied the strap of the space bag, took a look inside, and tears fell from her eyes.
"Xiaoqi...it's really Xiaoqi..."
Tang Sheng also saw Zhou Qi who had turned into stone in the spirit storage bag.
His heart ached when he thought that this child had actually traveled through dimensions in this way and had stayed in the bag for nearly 20 days.
"This is too risky!"
"What should we do now?" Tang Xueyun trembled, "Should we move him out?"
Tang Sheng thought about it and shook his head: "No, if he bumps into something, Xiaoqi will get hurt."
This was the first time they had encountered such a situation, and they did not dare to take any unnecessary action for fear of making more mistakes.
So they opened the space bag and placed it on the coffee table.
The little black ball jumped to the side of the bag and looked inside curiously. Tang Yuxin couldn't help but stick her head out to look.
"Is this stone statue really Brother Zhou Qi?"
"Look at the videotape your brother gave us, it should be."
However, until the next day, there was no movement in the space bag, and Zhou Qi's stone statue was still standing quietly inside.
When Tang Sheng and his friends came back from fighting monsters outside, the same thing happened.
Tang Xueyun was extremely anxious and couldn't sleep at night, so she simply stayed beside the space bag, calling Zhou Qi again and again.
It can be said that Zhou Qi grew up under her care. Although they are not related by blood, she has long regarded him as her own son.
"Xiaoqi, wake up quickly, wake up quickly!"
In the spirit storage bag.
Zhou Qi's consciousness was drowsy and extremely weak. Sleeping for a long time was actually a very dangerous thing.
Although he set the watch to ring after 20 days, it was still unknown whether he would be able to hear the ringing after such a long time.
Just as his consciousness was about to fall into darkness, he heard a gentle female voice.
"Xiaoqi... Xiaoqi... wake up! Wake up!"
Who is it? Is it... Mom?
When this thought came to mind, Zhou Qi's consciousness instantly became clear.
"Ayun, it's already very late... Do you want to go to sleep first?" Tang Sheng looked at Tang Xueyun who had been holding the space bag since daytime and had been shouting for almost ten hours, and couldn't help but said worriedly.
Tang Xueyun's mad look made Tang Sheng feel as if he saw her when she had just lost her son.
"You go to sleep first, I'll wait."
Tang Xueyun has been suffering from insomnia since last night. As long as Zhou Qi doesn't recover, she won't be able to sleep a wink.
As soon as she closed her eyes, all she could think of was their house being destroyed by a meteorite and she thought her three children had died under the meteorite.
Tang Sheng sighed and coaxed his daughter to sleep before returning to her side to wait with her.
"Aunt Tang..."
Just as daybreak was about to break, Tang Xueyun heard a voice in a trance.
She was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure looking up in the space bag.
"Xiaoqi?"
"Yes, Aunt Tang, Uncle Tang."
Zhou Qi, who had been released from the petrified state, looked up at Tang Sheng and his wife outside the space bag, and a relieved expression appeared on his face.
They stayed in the other world for three years, and only half a year had passed in this world. However, he clearly saw that Tang Xueyun and Tang Sheng had a lot of white hair.
These six months must have been a torment for them.
Zhou Qi came out of the spirit storage bag and looked at the familiar magic tent, nodding his head.
He first calmed Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun down, then looked at the message board.
As soon as he was freed from the petrified state, he sent a message to Tang Yu'an to report that he was safe. At the same time, he also saw the messages Tang Yu'an had left him during this period.
He looked through it carefully and saw that Tang Yu'an stayed obediently in his home in the deserted city. Apart from missing and worrying about him, he was not injured or had any accidents. Zhou Qi then breathed a sigh of relief.
[Dongtu Datang: Grandma Guo made some rock sugar star chain fruit for me today. I've kept some and will wait for you to come back and eat them together.]
Dongtu Datang: Brother Xiaoqi, I miss you so much... You'll be fine, right?
【Dongtu Datang: Good night, Xiaoqi brother】
【Dongtu Datang: Xiaoqi brother...】
Looking at the message the boy left him, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
However, when he turned his head and saw Tang Sheng and Tang Xueyun, this emotion was interrupted and replaced by guilt and uneasiness.
Tang Xueyun had no idea what he was thinking. Seeing that he had finished his work, she quickly took his hand and said, "Xiaoqi, you have grown up..."
She patted the back of Zhou Qi's hand, feeling the warmth from his body, and finally confirmed that the child had really returned to them.
Although he has grown into a handsome young man, he has lost his childishness.
"Is An An okay?"
"He's fine. I've already told him I'm safe." Zhou Qi said, "I'm hiring you now. You can also communicate with him through the employee forum."
Zhou Qi looked at Tang Sheng and used the recruitment authority of the branch manager for the first time.
[Are you recruiting "Tang Sheng" as an employee of "Ping An Grocery Store No. 1"? ]
Zhou Qi chose "yes", however...
[It has been detected that "Tang Sheng" and "Ping An Grocery Store No. 1" are in different planes, and there is no inter-planetary teleportation array between the two planes, so recruitment is unavailable.]
Seeing this message, Zhou Qi's expression became serious.
On the other side, Tang Yu'an also received this message.
【Friends private chat】
[Dongtu Datang: Brother Xiaoqi, did you fail in recruiting a dad? ]
[Liangzai Zhou: Yes…]
Just when Zhou Qi was thinking about how to comfort him, he saw the boy's message pop up again.
[Dongtu Datang: Brother Xiaoqi, I just gave you permission to build a branch. Can you see if it works?]
Zhou Qi was stunned.
[Handsome Porridge: Upgrade Reward?]
【Dongtu Datang: Yeah! 】
At the same time, Zhou Qi saw a new panel pop up.
[Your friend "东土大糖" is requesting to establish a voice call with you. Do you want to answer it? ]
Zhou Qi was stunned and quickly answered the call.
"Brother Xiaoqi!"
When Tang Yu'an's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Zhou Qi felt his heart skip a beat. He took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.
"An An." He called softly.
Although the flow of time in the two planes is not exactly the same, so delays are inevitable, such real-time voice communication shows its value when the distance is extended to two planes.
"Is this also a reward for leveling up?"
"yes!"
In the past 20 days, Tang Yu'an successfully upgraded another level, and this time to lv25.
Every 5 levels is a big breakthrough, and this time the reward did not disappoint Tang Yu'an.
[Merchant level reaches lv25, and the mall has added yogurt, luncheon meat, self-heating hot pot, kitchen knife, and electric kettle for exchange. For details, please visit the "Wholesale Market"]
[Portable storage slots +2, total slots: 30, authorized slots +1, current authorized slots: 6]
[New voice chat function for friends, please visit the "Staff Forum" for details]
[New employee creation branch function, details can be found in "HR"]
【Wholesale Mall Card (20% off) +1】
The portable storage space has been increased by 2, and it is estimated that each level up will increase by 2, which is a very practical function. The most important thing is——
"Brother Xiaoqi, I put some rock sugar star chain fruit in my portable warehouse. Can you see if you can get it?" Tang Yu'an said.
"good."
Zhou Qi opened his portable warehouse and successfully took out a plate of rock sugar star chain fruit.
Each of these star chain fruits is only the size of a quail egg, skewered with toothpicks and coated with a layer of sugar. It is crystal clear and looks particularly tempting.
In other words, even without the dream bottle, they can still exchange materials!
"Uncle Tang, Aunt Tang, Xiao Xin, this is what An An gave you to eat."
Zhou Qi placed the plate on the coffee table.
Seeing that Tang Yu'an still had the time to make rock sugar star chain fruit, Tang Xueyun finally felt relieved. She didn't rush to eat it, but asked, "Do you have a way to communicate in real time now?"
Zhou Qi nodded and explained to them the authority that employees have.
"Unfortunately, I can't recruit you right now."
"Then how do we build this branch?" Tang Sheng said anxiously.
Zhou Qi looked at his own panel and couldn't help but frowned and said, "An An, I don't seem to have the relevant permissions?"
"Well, the employee level needs to reach level 20..."
Hearing this, Zhou Qi was stunned.
To be honest, he hasn't paid attention to his employee level for a long time, because after reaching lv15, the experience points required for each level increase exponentially.
There were not many residents in the Huangcheng Home itself, and it was not until the Jufeng Grocery Store reopened that he, as the branch manager, received more employee experience points.
Zhou Qi couldn't help but glance at his personal panel.
Employee level: lv19 (580/12600).
Zhou Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was only a little over 10,000 points short. He remembered that the base of Uncle Tang and his men had over 10,000 people.
As long as the Self-Defense Forces are willing to cooperate, it won’t take long for him to reach level 20.
But he soon frowned again, because he found that his experience bar had not moved for a long time. At this time, it should not be night at An An's place...
Zhou Qi flipped through the records and found that the experience points his employees brought him had stagnated since the day he entered Menghai.
Hearing his words, Tang Yu'an couldn't help but say, "I remember now! It was the same when we went to the other dimension before!"
Only after returning to the original plane will employee points and experience points be settled.
Zhou Qi quickly took out the Ping An Coin to trade with Tang Sheng.
You complete a profitable transaction with a new customer, employee experience +1.
Fortunately, he does not need to return to this plane, and the experience points of transactions conducted in this world can be settled normally.
"It seems that I can only rely on myself to improve." Zhou Qi said.
He explained the situation to Tang Sheng and his wife, and with their cooperation he gained 9 experience points.
Then, Zhou Qi put on a mask and a cloak and left the magic tent with Tang Sheng and his wife.
Although Zhou Qi's personal points balance was not much, with a powerful tool like a portable warehouse, he did not need to worry about not having enough supplies to supply the 10,000 people in the base.
They went directly to the supreme leader of the Self-Defense Forces - Mo Chengfei.
Upon hearing their intention, Mo Chengfei said, "I'm happy to trade with you, but the outskirts of our base are currently being attacked by a large number of mutants, and we're preparing to go and rescue them!"
"Pillow Man, Superwoman, I hope you can help us! The battlefield is right over there in the fields, and our crops are going to be destroyed!"
Hearing this, Zhou Qi immediately asked, "Which direction?"
Mo Chengfei had just pointed in a direction when he saw the newly appeared man in the black mask suddenly take off into the air and fly over there.
He couldn't help but stare in amazement. What kind of Superman is this?
The author has something to say:
Tang Sheng & Tang Xueyun: Help! My toes dug a hole in the three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment [cracked] Xiaoqi probably didn't hear it [melted][melted]
