Chapter 6 Rent My Room

The night fell quietly, and a few stars appeared in the east. As the stars gradually increased, the earth quietly merged into the night. The bright moonlight sprinkled on the ground. Outside the door was the sound of footsteps and conversations of the patrol team. In the isolation room, Jiang Yunqi did not sleep very well.

Originally, he just wanted to close his eyes and take a nap for a while, but he fell asleep without paying attention.

In the chaotic dream, he once again dreamed of the heroic scene of his comrades' sacrifice, and the appearance of the biological mecha trying its best to send him out of the encirclement of the Zerg.

Jiang Yunqi suddenly opened his eyes, a thin layer of sweat oozing from his forehead. His hands and feet were cold, his heart was beating very fast, and he felt like he was drowning and it was a bit hard to breathe.

He pressed his sore temples, took a deep breath, and gradually calmed down.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Gu Bingchen noticed the movement and asked softly, "It's all fake, don't be afraid."

Jiang Yunqi said "um", but didn't say that everything in the dream was real.

......

The sun was very bright outside, and the ground was steaming. Gu Bingchen walked out of the isolation room immediately. He yawned slightly, and his low voice was tinged with laziness: "What are your plans? Do you want to join my team? I look forward to being your teammate."

He stretched out his hand, and his phoenix eyes hidden under the lenses stared at Jiang Yunqi intently, looking very sincere.

"I..." Jiang Yunqi looked at the slender, bony fingers in front of him, and subconsciously wanted to refuse. The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.

It seemed that he didn't want to hit the person in front of him.

"It's okay, give me an answer after you've thought about it." Gu Bingchen saw Jiang Yunqi's hesitation, and withdrew his hand without any embarrassment, "Let's go, I'll take you back to where you live first."

"The base is divided into three areas, the area for ordinary survivors, the area for psychics, and the administrative area. The psychic area is further divided into five areas, which are allocated according to their levels. This is mainly to prevent high-level psychics from bullying low-level psychics." Gu Bingchen led the way and introduced the situation of the base. "For example, A-level psychics live in the area closest to the central administrative area. The rooms are allocated. If you don't want to live there, you can rent a house with supplies or flower crystal cores."

After he finished speaking, a dark light flashed across Gu Bingchen's eyes. He pushed his glasses and smiled, "The housing resources in the base are limited, so even A-level psychics will face the situation of sharing a house with other psychics."

Gu Bingchen stopped talking and slightly tilted his eyes to observe the change in Jiang Yunqi's expression.

As he expected, Jiang Yunqi's expression did change a little, not much, but he was definitely not as calm as usual.

Jiang Yunqi had lived on the Garbage Planet since he was a child, and he had never been a delicate person. It was just that his bad memories made him particularly resistant to living under the same roof with others.

Living in a house was acceptable, but living in the same room was not.

"Where can I rent a house?" He thought about his few crystal cores, hoping that it would not be too expensive, because he had no food supplies, and he couldn't use the nutrient solution of the space button.

Jiang Yunqi would not want to expose his identity unless it was an emergency. The space button and mental power could still be vaguely seen, and he would not let too many people see other things that did not belong to this place.

There were some shops on both sides of the street, and the shouts of the vendors were getting louder and louder.

Gu Bingchen made a suggestion: "Why don't you go to my place? It's a two-story small villa with three empty rooms. You can choose any one."

He knew how many crystal cores Jiang Yunqi had in his pocket, and gave a compromise price: "The rent is ten crystal cores a month, which is quite affordable. If you go to the rental center, a simple one-bedroom apartment costs thirty crystal cores."

Gu Bingchen said the latter part on purpose, because it was not that expensive.

Jiang Yunqi was really short of money, and his ears turned slightly red. He nodded: "Thank you."

Gu Bingchen stared at his ears for a while, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a little arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

In the two-story villa located in Area A, a man and a woman were sitting in the living room on the first floor.

The boy was wearing a hoodie and had curly hair. He was lying on the sofa with a few open novels on the floor: "Sister Yueyue, where did the boss go? He hasn't come back yet." The

"Sister Yueyue" he was talking about was a gentle girl with long black hair and light brown ends. She was wearing a goose yellow sweater and light blue jeans. She was sitting at the door with a tablet in her hand, counting the supplies that Yuan Yu had just sent over.

Hearing this, she smiled softly: "He should be back soon."

Speak of the devil, the gate of the yard was opened, and two tall and handsome men stood in the scorching sun, one was their boss, and the other had an outstanding appearance, as cold as autumn frost.

Could it be that they are going to have new members?

"Wow, is this the alpine flower in the novel?"

Tang Yichao appeared in front of Jiang Yunqi in a flash, his almond eyes shining and his face full of infatuation.

Gu Bingchen's handsome face darkened instantly, and he took a step forward, picked up Tang Yichao's hat and threw him aside.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Yunqi." Jiang Yunqi raised a polite smile at the corner of his lips, and the feeling of keeping people at a distance faded a little.

Chu Wanyue stood up, curved her eyebrows and smiled: "Hello, my name is Chu Wanyue, and his name is Tang Yichao."

She pointed at Tang Yichao and said, "He's just too enthusiastic, embarrassed."

"The name is also very nice, is it taken from 'When you reach the end of the water, sit and watch the clouds rise'?" Tang Yichao shook his head, a little silly.

Jiang Yunqi shook his head: "'Yun' is taken from the Tang Dynasty general Nan Jiyun, and 'Qi' is taken from the Qin Dynasty famous general Bai Qi."

In the Empire, there is very little history about Blue Star. Those data are probably lost in the torrent of the universe. Except for those who specialize in this field, few residents of the Empire know the ancient history of Blue Star.

His name was given by the Marshal after reading the classics for a long time, hoping that he could defend the country like these two historical generals. It

was also the first time that Gu Bingchen heard Jiang Yunqi explain the origin of his name, and a certain guess in his heart was further confirmed.

In order to welcome the new...ah, no, the tenant, Tang Yizhao, as a chef, specially fried three dishes, plus a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup.

While eating, the house shook slightly, and there was a muffled sound.

Jiang Yunqi raised his eyes and glanced out the window, frowning.

Seeing this, Tang Yichao said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's okay. There must have been an explosion somewhere. It happened once a week ago, so it's nothing strange."

A week ago?

Gu Bingchen put down his bowl and chopsticks, and his eyes kept on Jiang Yunqi from time to time. He remembered clearly that when he picked up Jiang Yunqi, an explosion also occurred.

Is there any connection between the two?

A few minutes ago, a few hundred kilometers away in Ningcheng, a disc-shaped object appeared in the dark sky, followed by a violent explosion, and a blonde woman fell from the sky.

In the evening, Gu Bingchen came back with a gloomy face, and Chu Wanyue, who followed behind him, also had a solemn expression. Tang Yichao, who was always lively and jumping, did not dare to step forward to touch the mold head, for fear of being thrown out. Jiang Yunqi asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Bingchen did not say anything, but sat down next to Jiang Yunqi, reached out to take a glass of water and gulped it down.

Jiang Yunqi opened his mouth, wanting to say that he had just drunk that glass of water.

"What happened?" Tang Yichao asked in a low voice, twisting his fingers.

Chu Wanyue pinched her brows tiredly and sighed: "It's nothing serious, I just ran into someone."

The story begins when Gu Bingchen took Chu Wanyue to the mission center to submit the mission.

In addition to the two types of transactions in the base, namely material exchange and crystal core exchange, there is another more widespread transaction - points.

After submitting the two tasks in hand, Gu Bingchen's account had an extra 20,000 points. The personal nameplate is actually a card for storing points.

When he looked up to browse the large task screen, a man in a suit and leather shoes came over. He was the secretary of the base commander.

The purpose is to ask Gu Bingchen to help the base commander find his son.

"So we have to go to Ningcheng tomorrow." Tang Yichao frowned, "I remember Ningcheng is not a desolate place?"

Gu Bingchen briefly talked about what happened a week ago, and his expression gradually calmed down.

Even if the base commander did not come to him, he would have to go to Ningcheng again.

Jiang Yunqi tilted his head and asked in confusion: "Then what are you angry about?"

Chu Wanyue said: "Because the boss owes him a favor."

As for why he owed a favor, she didn't know.

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, go back and pack your things, have a good sleep, and set off tomorrow morning." Gu Bingchen got up and went upstairs, then stopped and looked back at Jiang Yunqi, "There is nothing in your room, come to my room, I will get you bedding and toiletries."

Jiang Yunqi put down the book in his hand and followed.

Looking at the backs of the two people gradually disappearing at the staircase, Tang Yichao was greatly surprised. Is this still the Gu Bingchen who absolutely does not let anyone enter his room? !

"Sister Yueyue, am I seeing things, Brother Chen..." Tang Yichao swallowed and pulled Chu Wanyue's sleeve.

The latter gently rubbed Tang Yichao's curly hair and smiled, "Okay, let's not pay too much attention to Brother Chen's affairs, be obedient."

She still needed to sort out some information, and then she went back to her room.

The empty hall left only Tang Yichao, who was full of curiosity.

On the other side, the gray-haired old man walked towards the underground passage with a cane, his steps were slow, and his cloudy eyes exuded a scorching light, which was the greed in his heart.

"How is the matter I asked you to do?" The old man's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, followed by a young man in a suit.

The young man lowered his eyebrows and supported the old man respectfully: "He agreed."

The old man smiled twice with satisfaction, trembling and raised his hand to touch the smooth glass: "That's good, that's good."

Wait... wait a few more days, and soon, he will be able to get rid of the pain in his body and the fear of death.

Under the dim light, the old man fantasized about a better future, not noticing the person behind him, with a sinister look.
