Chapter 99 Private Jet
Manman's face flushed slightly, and her eyes drifted, "I...I."
Recalling every little detail of her time with Qu Yanbai, how he risked his life to save her, encouraged her, and understood her, Manman took a deep breath, "I do, like you, too." She lowered her head shyly, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly." Qu Yanbai leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "Manman, can you say it again?"
Manman covered her face, her heart beating wildly, and stuffed the pink crystal core into his hand, "I like you too." Suddenly she said this loudly and firmly.
Qu Yanbai burst out laughing, "Hahaha, Manman, I know you like me too, but you don't have to rush to announce it loudly."
It turned out that Manman was nervous just now and spoke very loudly. Everyone around her heard her declaration of love. Her face turned red and she was at a loss for a moment to explain: "I like pot stickers too. Pot stickers are delicious!"
Manman walked to Qin Muxue somewhat awkwardly, took the pot stickers and put them into her mouth. No matter how delicious the food was, she couldn't taste it at this moment, so she could only pretend nothing had happened.
Everyone around smiled knowingly, as they all knew what was going on. Grandma Qu was even more delighted, as she finally found a wife for her grandson.
Wu You's father Wu Yong patted Qu Yanbai on the shoulder and said, "Manman is a good girl. You must cherish her."
Manman was suddenly choked when she heard this. Qin Muxue handed her a bottle of water and patted her on the back, "Eat slowly."
She whispered in Manman's ear: "Don't worry, as long as he treats you well, I won't target him, but if he makes any mistakes, I won't show mercy! I believe in your current vision."
At least Qu Yanbai was acceptable to her. He didn't have any messy relationships between men and women, and he was an upright person who would take good care of Manman. Most importantly, she had observed Qu Yanbai's eyes. When danger came, he was always paying attention to Manman. Although she did have a period of contempt for Qu Yanbai, perhaps she knew deep down in her heart that Manman would fall in love with him, and it was as if her most precious thing had been taken away.
But now she understood. She cherished Manman and their friendship, so all she could do was to try her best to make her happy. Even in this difficult end times, she wanted her to have a happiness of her own.
"Don't worry, after my observation, Qu Yanbai has barely passed!" She patted Manman's shoulder with a meaningful smile on her face.
"Xiaoxue, why are you teasing me too?" Manman was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to hide. She secretly glanced at Qu Yanbai out of the corner of her eye and found that the rough man was accepting other people's blessings with a beaming face.
"Manman, it's okay. We all know it anyway. It's not something to be ashamed of."
In her previous life, Manman died so miserably and met a scumbag. Now she has found happiness in this life. I should be happy for her, but Qin Muxue felt a little sour in her eyes.
Grandma Qu said, "Yes, I am so excited to think that Manman will be my future granddaughter-in-law. Don't worry, if Yan Bai dares to treat you badly, I will be the first one to beat him with my cane!"
Qu Yanbai also walked to Manman at this time. He scratched his head embarrassedly. For the first time, Manman saw the shy blush on the face of this carefree and rough man. "Manman, since everyone knows it, there is no need to hide it from them. We are all family. If I, Qu Yanbai, like someone, I will be sure of it for life. Don't worry, Manman, everyone here is my witness. I will definitely love Manman as my sweetheart."
Manman got goosebumps all over her body. "What cheesy words are you saying?"
Qu Yanbai picked her up. He was very tall, about 1.90 meters, and Manman was petite, so the contrasting body shapes made them look particularly well matched.
"Qu Yanbai, what are you doing? Put me down!" Manman pounded his back anxiously, "Are you trying to scare me to death?"
"I dare not." But when he saw the smile on Manman's pretty face, he couldn't help but want to hug her, even wanted to kiss her. However, knowing Manman's shy nature, he didn't dare to do such an extraordinary thing in public. He just hugged her in excitement.
He held the pink crystal core and slowly began to absorb the mental power in it. The crystal core gradually became smaller, and the mental power in his mind became more and more sufficient. When his mental power skyrocketed, he unconsciously discovered that some plants, grass and flowers appeared wherever he walked.
His wood-related abilities have reached a new level. He can control plants in a larger range and can also create plants that he has seen before. For a moment, he was a little excited.
He tried to pat Manman's shoulder, and when she turned around, a few red roses had grown in his hand, "For you."
Manman was a little flattered, "Has your ability been upgraded?" These roses were no different from the flowers grown in nature. They were even covered with dew and exuded fragrance.
Qu Yanbai is not clear about the specific effect as he has not experienced actual combat, but he has indeed become stronger and no longer needs plants as a medium to attack. As long as he thinks of the appearance of plants in his mind, his consciousness can create them.
"That's probably true, but now I have a better use for my supernatural powers. I can please you."
There was an ambiguous and harmonious atmosphere between the two of them.
Qin Muxue looked at the two of them together and walked outside silently. Shi Yan saw her lonely look and asked, "Why, you can't bear to leave?"
"What's there to be reluctant about? Everyone has the right to pursue happiness. I can't wait to wish them the best!" Originally, Manman was her closest companion in the apocalypse. Now that there is someone to share Manman's care and love, she may not be able to adapt for a while.
Shi Yan said calmly: "Actually, if you think about it the other way around, there's someone who can protect Manman, love her, and take care of her. Wouldn't that make you feel much better?"
"Strange, how do you know what I'm thinking like a worm in my stomach?" Qin Muxue asked in disbelief. She had just thought about it in her mind and didn't say anything. If she didn't know Shi Yan well, she would really suspect that he had the ability to read minds.
"I guessed it, otherwise why would you be so lonely?" He stretched out his hand and placed it on her head, as if trying to give her some comfort.
Shi Yan was about a head taller than her, so she still had to look up at him. Suddenly, she found it a little funny. The 18-year-old handsome Shi Yan was so shy and immature, but now he was obviously a different person, but he had a completely different feeling, cold and steady, unsmiling, and his cold face seemed a little distant because of the candlelight. Although they looked the same, Shi Yan now looked more resolute and handsome.
Qin Muxue sighed lightly, "You're right." In this life, she only wanted Manman to be happy.
"Right." She seemed to have thought of something, "Why don't we go see if we can take away the generator here, as well as the water filtration device and so on. These things are usually not found in Tadpole's place."
She has a stockpile of generators, but the more the better, and water filtration is also available just in case.
While she was still thinking about what else she could take away, she heard the sound of gunfire not far away. It seemed that even the power outage did not interrupt the quarrel between the group of people. After obtaining weapons, people's selfish faces were all exposed. In order to get on the plane and leave this place, they would do anything.
She didn't know how many people would die in this battle. There were only fifty places on the plane to leave here, but there were thousands of people in the shelter. A fight was inevitable, which was why she didn't want to get involved.
Originally, Commander Wu's men could have stopped the fight, but he would rather sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers. When he made his last throw of the dice, all his men died in his hands.
Before Qin Muxue left his office, she collected a lot of weapons from Commander Wu's arsenal. Now the weapons in her space are enough to meet the military arsenal of a company. (Including the weapons collected at the military base and the weapons she bought herself)
Lei Yangzhou has disappeared. He and his men must have left here in another plane. As expected, this guy cannot be trusted. He clearly said that he would take Manman away, but in the end he gave up on Manman. How could such a selfish guy change his character in a short time?
Qin Muxue took advantage of this time to take away all the machines that could be used in the shelter. People in the shelter usually choose food and weapons, and they can't take large things away, but she doesn't have this worry.
The things that people disliked and didn't take away might come in handy for Qin Muxue in the future, and they were free, so it would be a waste not to take them. However, the entire shelter was underground and integrated with the surrounding geology, so it could not be taken away. Otherwise, she would have wanted to take the entire shelter away. Now she just found some materials that could be taken away. Anyway, the place was in ruins and would soon be destroyed by the impact of the asteroid.
When she arrived at the airport, Qin Muxue thought that the scene would be chaotic, but she didn't expect it to be so chaotic. A group of people fought to get on the plane, and both sides were injured.
One group of people believes that the strong prey on the weak, so the strong should be given the opportunity to leave. Another group of people think that they can be sacrificed, but the elderly, the weak, women and children must leave first.
In the end times, principles are set by the strong. Qin Muxue knew the principle of the survival of the fittest, and she originally did not intend to interfere in this matter. However, when she saw the child she once took care of squatting in front of his dying father and crying, and the mother paying the price of her life to protect her child, her heart was shaken, because she was originally a weak one among them, and if it were not for her special powers, she would probably be the same as this group of people.
Qin Muxue took out a lot of weapons and threw them to her former teammate Captain Huang, who was also on the sacrificial side. "Captain Huang, please distribute some weapons to your teammates!" Captain Huang stayed because of his wife and daughter. He was unwilling to abandon his children and wife.
He was a little surprised when he saw Qin Muxue. He didn't expect her to get involved in this dispute. "Xiao Qin...thank you for being willing to help us at the critical moment."
With sufficient ammunition, Captain Huang's side quickly won the victory. Most of them were well-trained soldiers, stronger than some easily incited masses. Of course, they also paid a heavy price, which was inevitable. They were willing to give up the precious hope of survival to the weak. In a sense, their spiritual level is also great!
Some of the survivors chose to leave the shelter. They did not want to join the battle and just wanted to live the rest of their days in peace. Some were willing to stay in the shelter and enjoy this moment of peace.
Naturally, some people were unwilling to give up. Since they could not leave here, others could not leave either. A man with a bomb tied to his body was about to rush towards the plane and die with it. In the end, Qu Yanbai controlled the vines and threw the man out. In the end, he was blown into a ball of scattered meat, but the plane seemed safe and sound.
Captain Huang watched all this in fear. Fortunately, Qu Yanbai intervened in time. He showed him a grateful look and said, "Thank you. I didn't do anything for you, but you were willing to help us..."
"Oh, why don't you leave with us?" Captain Huang said, holding Qu Yanbai's hand, "It's dangerous to stay here." But when Captain Huang thought about the space on the plane and looked at the anxious eyes of the people following him, he smiled awkwardly and said, "There may not be enough space."
An An tugged at the corner of Qin Muxue's clothes, "I want to go to the base headquarters with them." She rarely made any requests, but this time she took the initiative to ask to go to the base, "I want to find my dad."
This is the main character's wish, and An An must fulfill her wish.
Looking at her stubborn eyes, Qin Muxue thought for a while and sighed, "Captain Huang, I only have one request, I hope you can take An An with you."
Looking at the little girl with an eye mask next to Qin Muxue, she was just a child and couldn't take up a seat, so she could squeeze in with her daughter without any problem.
"That's no problem, but what are you going to do?"
Qin Muxue looked at the huge airport and said, "We are not going to the base, and you don't need to blame yourself at all. Take good care of your family. I also hope you can be nicer to An An and never make her angry. Just take care of her like your daughter. Be patient and try to meet her requests."
Captain Huang thought she was just reluctant, but he didn't expect that Qin Muxue was just worried. Once An An got angry, the entire plane would be in danger.
Captain Huang confidently agreed: "No problem, I will take good care of her."
An An inspected the plane and nodded with satisfaction. Qin Muxue whispered in her ear: "Don't hurt these people."
The secondary personality An An smiled sinisterly, "As long as they don't make me angry, I won't bully them." Qin Muxue could only pray that other people on the plane would not anger An An.
Captain Huang, as the pilot of the plane, had to get on the plane. After that, many people had to volunteer to stay and make room for their relatives. In the end, there were about 60 people who could get on the plane, most of them were children and women, and there were about 20 soldiers. They flew to the base carrying everyone's last hope.
Captain Huang looked at Qu Yanbai and his group, feeling deeply moved, "Take care of yourselves."
Qu Yanbai smiled and said, "Don't worry." They will only live a better life. They have their own considerations for not wanting to go to the base.
Qin Muxue repeatedly told An An, "I don't ask you to protect them, but you must not get angry."
An An replied nonchalantly: "I know, I know. For her sake, I will treat the passengers of this plane well."
Qin Muxue could see that the secondary personality was very powerful and appeared mature and indifferent, but she was still a child at heart after all. She was just a little afraid of being with strangers.
She took out her favorite teddy bear from her backpack and said, "An An, you don't need other things, so I'll give this to you as a gift! I hope you can always remember us."
An An had a look of disgust on her face, but she still reached out and hugged the little bear in her arms. Smelling the fragrance on it, she actually felt at ease. She turned her head away unnaturally, "I just want to find my dad, I don't miss you guys."
Qin Muxue knew that she just didn't know how to express it, but her eyes betrayed her reluctance.
"Then I hope you can find your father soon. You must protect yourself and your father!"
"Don't underestimate me."
An An came close to Shi Yan, who was giving off the aura of "Don't disturb strangers". "You have good taste. Protect her well!"
Shi Yan raised his dark eyes and said, "She is strong enough to protect herself." He stayed by her side only because of his selfish desires.
"Well, I wish you good luck! Code name X." An An said in his ear with a sneer, and then followed Captain Huang onto the plane.
After the plane took off into the sky, Qin Muxue stared at the mysterious planet in the sky for a long time. It seemed to have become bigger. After looking at it for a long time, she felt a bit dazed.
There were still quite a few people left in the shelter. They knew that they might die with the landing of the asteroid in six days, so they did whatever they wanted.
Manman felt a little sad for a moment as she watched the plane fly away. "It would be great if the asteroid didn't land here."
Qin Muxue knew that even if the asteroid did not land, other disasters would follow, and they would definitely not be able to stay in this place.
A familiar voice sounded behind him: "Qu Yanbai, Qin Muxue, I finally found you!"
Sang Qing was seen riding on a huge white wolf. After seeing them, he immediately jumped off Alan's body, followed by Mantou.
Sang Qing looked for him, so something important must have happened. Qin Muxue seemed to have a premonition of something, "Where's Grandpa?"
Sang Qing lowered his head dejectedly, "After we arrived at that place, grandpa started to lose consciousness. He didn't last a day before he died in his sleep. Grandpa was over 80 years old, so he could be considered to have died of old age." As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
Qu Yanbai patted his shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, we couldn't help you."
"This was Grandpa's own choice. Perhaps he had a feeling long ago, so he refused to come to the shelter. He died with a smile on his face." Sang Qing came all the way here and discovered the terrible situation of the shelter. "What happened? Why did it become like this? We saw a plane flying over before, so we knew something must have happened here. Alan and I rushed over after discussing it, and just now we saw another plane leaving here."
Qin Muxue told them everything that happened here. "So, this area will soon be hit by the shock wave from the asteroid. We must leave here quickly."
After the people around dispersed, Qin Muxue took out the private plane from her space. This was the best private plane she could buy at the time, but it could only carry twelve people at most. Counting the number of people now, Wu Yong, Wu You, Grandma Wu, Grandma Qu, Qu Yanbai, Ding Manman, Qian Xinran and the child, Shi Yan, Alan, and Sang Qing, plus the two children Youyou and Taotao, can be regarded as one person. The mileage can reach 2,000 kilometers, which is enough for them to leave this area.
But what Qin Muxue was worried about was that this was different from a helicopter after all. They didn’t have a professional pilot. Could Shi Yan really fly this plane smoothly?
The situation is urgent now. Qin Muxue said, "Let's get on the plane first."
Shi Yan sat in the single-seat driver's seat, glanced at the operating system, and nodded calmly, "No problem."
"Is it really okay? You can carry all of our lives."
Shi Yan was amused by her nervous look. If he was not sure, how could he dare to promise her, "I will drive well, but where is our destination, and we may encounter strong air currents and bad weather during the journey, these are all things to consider."
Shi Yan saw that the snowstorm outside had stopped. Next to the mysterious planet, a planet that looked like the sun appeared. It seemed that there would be no risk of snowstorms in the short term.
Qin Muxue randomly drew a location on the map and said, "The farther we are from this place now, the better." Not knowing how large the asteroid's impact range was, it was better to stay away from here.
Shi Yan glanced at the location she marked and said, "This is Baihu City."
Qin Muxue took a closer look and found that it was the location of Baihu City. Perhaps it was a sign from somewhere. She had a strong feeling that they should fly to that location. "No matter where it is, let's avoid this disaster first!"
They can no longer predict the disasters that will occur in the future. Qin Muxue’s current hope is to lead everyone to find a safe place where they can live for a long time.
As the plane took off on the runway, they gradually flew into the sky and left this place. The shelter gradually became a small dot in their eyes...
