Yang Xiuguang quickly stopped Wang Peipei who was about to say something and said to Qin Qing, "Look, we are unfamiliar with this place. Since you know someone, could you please help?" No matter what, he felt that he should not make his relationship with Qin Qing awkward.
Seeing Qin Qing remained silent, Li Xiong waved loudly for the skinny young man to come over. He fished out a pack of biscuits from his shoulder bag and said, "Sixteen, take them to find a place to stay."
If the young man had led the way, Yang Xiuguang wouldn't have needed to look for Qin Qing. He simply hoped the soldiers would give face to this man called Xiong. This Xiong must have some status in the base. So, he wanted to use Qin Qing to establish a relationship with him.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiong didn't give Qin Qing any face at all. After giving the instructions, he just pulled Qin Qing away.
Li Xiong took Qin Qing and walked along the side of the square until they stopped in front of a villa.
The villa was relatively small, and judging by its appearance, it must have been newly built after the apocalypse. Therefore, there was nothing inside when the gate was opened. After entering the iron gate, Li Xiong paused slightly and said, "This house was actually exchanged for your truckload of supplies. We waited for you in the warehouse for several days, but you never came back. Qin Qing, I'm sorry..." Everyone owed her this, so Li Xiong felt they had to say it, otherwise they would never feel at peace in their lives.
Everyone lowered their heads in dismay when they heard Li Xiong's words. After arriving at the base, they realized that there was no way to save the truckload of supplies. Li Xiong had tried everything, but all he could get was better treatment and the ability to keep some of the necessary supplies.
More importantly, Qin Qing hadn't been with the team at the base. They couldn't believe that Qin Qing was dead, but with each passing day, their hope faded, and their guilt towards Qin Qing grew.
Yesterday, Li Xiong, Cheng Chuan and others were still discussing going back to find Qin Qing. No matter what, they are teammates.
Qin Qing looked at everyone's distressed faces and smiled, "I'm glad you're all okay. Don't worry about the supplies. We'll collect them when we leave the base!"
Zhang Yong rubbed his head and said, "Didn't Captain Lu let Qin Qing leave? He said he wanted to wait until his big brother woke up!"
"By the way, Qin Qing, who were those people just now? Do you know them?" Cheng Chuan quickly changed the subject and asked.
Qin Qing nodded and said, "Just a schoolmate!" Then he turned to ask Li Xiong and the others what was going on in the square.
Before Li Xiong could say anything, Wang Xiaobao excitedly said, "That's the market. No matter what you want, you can always find what you need by going there."
"The base doesn't care?" Qin Qing looked at Wang Xiaobao in surprise.
"Why not? If you want to set up a stall, you have to hand over ten kilograms of rice or equivalent supplies every month. By the way, you may not know, haven't we always wanted to get the crystal cores in the zombies' heads? I didn't expect that the base already knew about it and encouraged everyone to go out and kill zombies to obtain crystal cores, and then use the crystal cores to exchange for supplies." Wang Xiaobao was very angry at first, but he pulled Qin Qing aside and whispered the following words in her ear.
This news shocked Qin Qing. The base had actually known about the crystal core for a long time? How was that possible?
But after a moment's thought, she realized she was making a fuss out of nothing! It was impossible for a country to have only people she knew who possessed superpowers. For example, that eldest brother surnamed Lu was clearly an ice-type superpower user.
Moreover, his supernatural powers were clearly much higher than those of Li Xiong and the others. I'm afraid that besides Li Xiong and the others, there are many more supernatural people across the country who have been recruited by government departments!
"That's fine..." Qin Qing said with a smile after being surprised.
Then look around at the house where I will live in the future.
But she saw Shen Kexin standing awkwardly not far away, twisting her fingers nervously, looking at Qin Qing with uneasiness. After she entered the base, she found that it was completely different from what she had imagined.
Those ordinary people could only live in makeshift tents, with more than a dozen people crammed into one tent, regardless of gender, age or status. The environment was extremely harsh.
Due to the lack of supplies, most people did not have much clothing to wear when they fled, so they could only use cardboard or newspapers as cushions, or lie directly on the ground.
The weather wasn't too cold yet, but Shen Kexin couldn't imagine how these people would survive if the weather kept getting colder. In winter, with drafts everywhere, those with weak constitutions would definitely get sick.
Not only are there few doctors at the base, but there are even fewer medical equipment and medicines. If someone gets sick and there are no medicines, they can only fight it out, and if they can't, they will die.
Li Xiong and his companions were treated specially at the base because they were carrying a large amount of supplies. More importantly, Cheng Chuan was a pediatrician. So they were arranged to live in this villa not far from the commercial housing. Compared to the tents over there, the environment was like heaven and hell.
Because there were no other women in the team except Cheng Xinxin, she was left behind to cook after entering the base.
Now that Qin Qing was back, she felt very uneasy. Just now, she seemed to have heard that Qin Qing came with his schoolmates, but she ignored them.
She doesn't want to care about those people who have nothing to do with her, and she is likely to kick out someone who has treated her badly in the past.
Shen Kexin was terrified at the thought of having to live in a tent and then do hard labor with others to build the city wall.
"Qin Qing, if you feel inconvenient..." Li Xiong saw this situation, stepped forward and whispered in Qin Qing's ear.
Qin Qing lowered his eyelids, then shook his head and said, "No need. Since I kept her in the first place, as long as she doesn't have second thoughts, I naturally won't kick her out."
After saying that, without waiting for Shen Kexin to express her gratitude, she followed Cheng Xinxin directly to the second floor. Qin Qing always believed that no matter how much you say, it is better to do it well.
"Sister Qin, this is your room. It has been reserved for you since we entered the base. I clean the room for you every day and wait for you to come back!" Cheng Xinxin took Qin Qing to the door of a master bedroom on the second floor, then looked up and said to her.
Qin Qing reached out and touched Cheng Xinxin's head, then opened the door. Inside the bedroom, the floor was clean and bright. A brand new light blue bed sheet was crisply spread across a two-meter double bed. A lace tablecloth covered the nightstand next to the bed, and a vintage bedside lamp sat on it.
Near the window is a natural wooden dressing table. Although there are no cosmetics on the dressing table, there is a small white pot-bellied ceramic vase with a bunch of plants in it, which are not sure whether they are flowers or grass.
It can be seen that although the furniture in this bedroom is simple, it is well thought out.
Qin Qing had always thought of himself as a cold-hearted person, but at this moment he felt that his originally icy heart seemed to be gradually warming up.
