Chapter 88 Zombie King vs Humans (43)
Zhou Ye started the car and caught up with the one in front, sighing, "This city lord is surprisingly easy to get along with."
Zheng Tie nodded, "Indeed, he seems to be a very nice person."
Zhou Ye was very excited, "Captain, why do we have to go back so early? Why don't we stay here for two more days?"
Qi Chengzhi glanced at him calmly and said, "We've been delayed on the road for a long time."
"This...is not what we expected. Besides, it's normal to encounter unexpected situations on the road. It's reasonable for us to return ten days later."
Zhou Ye didn't care. He didn't want to go back and see that serious, rigid and stingy city lord again. The thought of it gave him a headache.
Qi Chengzhi didn't say anything, but he obviously disagreed.
Seeing this, Zhou Ye did not insist anymore. How could a team member like him compare to Miss Yuanyuan? The captain was usually very aloof, but he broke down when he met the young lady.
He just liked to hang around Miss Yuanyuan. He really didn't understand and shook his head helplessly.
The group drove to a building and got out of the car. Manhua was stunned when she saw two children, but she quickly regained her composure, keeping the previous smile on her face, and politely invited everyone into the building.
The interior decoration of the house was quite formal and solemn. There was a western-style silver-white table surrounded by a circle of carved wooden chairs. The tableware had already been placed on the table, and everyone took their seats in turn.
Xu Jinxiao sat to the left of Qi Chengzhi, glanced at the tableware in front of her, and looked at the time. It was exactly eleven o'clock. Well, it was indeed time for lunch.
Shen Xing sat timidly on the chair, looking around curiously with big eyes. He pulled Xu Jinxiao's sleeve and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Big brother, this feels so serious."
"It's okay, just treat it as a meal."
Xu Jinxiao smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Pour tea for the guests."
Manhua greeted him immediately after sitting down.
Soon three waiters poured a glass for each person and stepped aside to wait for instructions.
Manhua picked up the teacup with her slender fingers and took a sip of water. "Everyone, wait a moment. Lunch will be here soon."
"Thank you, Lord Manchester."
Qi Chengzhi and others were polite again.
Then Manhua exchanged a few pleasantries with Qi Chengzhi, and silence returned to the table.
Xu Jinxiao leaned back in the chair, shook the tea, and waited for the meal to be served boredly.
Ten minutes later, the food finally arrived, a large piece of steak for each person and a large bowl of fresh vegetable salad.
Xu Jinxiao raised an eyebrow as he looked at the food in front of him. It was all freshly cooked, and expensive fresh vegetables were all taken out, which showed great sincerity.
He didn't hesitate and immediately started eating. It was nothing for him to do anyway, so he just treated it as a meal.
The others were also surprised when they saw it, but they calmed down the next moment. They couldn't afford to embarrass their base. Some mere dishes were not enough to make them lose their composure.
Qi Chengzhi and the city lord exchanged a few polite words before starting to eat.
Half an hour later, Xu Jinxiao finished his meal and found that Qi Chengzhi had stopped eating, but there was still half of the vegetables in the bowl.
Xu Jinxiao gently touched his arm, leaned in close and said in a low voice, "Captain Chengzhi, aren't you going to eat anymore?"
Qi Chengzhi nodded, "Yeah."
"Oh, okay."
A smile appeared on Xu Jinxiao's lips, and then he stretched out his arm, picked up the bowl of salad, and placed it in front of him.
Qi Chengzhi was stunned and watched Xu Jinxiao pick up his spoon and eat as if nothing had happened.
Then his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and a heat suddenly rushed out, spreading from his ears to his cheeks, and his cold white skin turned a light pink.
When the other people saw Xu Jinxiao's actions, they were also stunned and stared at him blankly.
Chu Han was the first to react and handed her bowl to Zhou Ye, "If you can't finish it, help me eat it too."
Zhou Ye stared at the bowl in front of him with wide eyes, then glanced at Chu Han beside him. The tips of his ears beneath his hair instantly turned red, and he replied with a tongue-tied tone, "Okay, okay."
Manhua, who was sitting in the main seat, curled up the corners of her mouth when she saw this. She didn't expect that there were so many couples in this team. It was really interesting.
Thinking of this, her gaze fell on Zheng Tie and Song Yan. Could these two also be gay?
Zheng Tie and Song Yan felt inexplicably uneasy when they were stared at, and tried their best to ignore her gaze.
She took a look and saw no gay feelings at all, so it seemed that the two were innocent.
She curled her lips in boredom. These two people were so boring.
Xu Jinxiao was suddenly pulled by Shen Xing, and the next second he heard a low complaint: "Big brother, I can't finish it either."
He immediately replied without hesitation: "If you can't finish it, just put it here, someone will come to collect it later."
Shen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
When he saw Brother Qi and Sister Chu just now, he thought they were not allowed to leave because they couldn't finish their food.
After lunch, Manhua still didn't rush to hold negotiations. He glanced at the clock on the wall and said considerately:
"Everyone has been walking for a long time. Let's have someone take you to rest for a while. We should be able to negotiate in the afternoon."
"good."
Qi Chengzhi could accept it, it was only a few hours anyway.
Manhua asked a few people to take them to a temporary residence, and she left first because she had something to do.
Before leaving, he winked at them, leaving a meaningful look.
No one understood her expression and looked at each other in confusion.
On the way, Xu Jinxiao put her hands behind her head and walked beside Qi Chengzhi.
When I arrived at the accommodation, I found that there were only double and quadruple rooms.
Xu Jinxiao's eyes lit up, and he took the lead in pulling Qi Chengzhi to a room. "Captain Chengzhi and I will share a room, you can do whatever you want."
The remaining four people divided the items randomly, and the men in black also quickly divided the items and went in to rest.
The room was simply decorated with two beds, but they were very close together. Xu Jinxiao scratched his head and said, "Captain Chengzhi, you choose first."
Qi Chengzhi sat on the bed on the right and lay down to rest for a while. Xu Jinxiao diligently covered him with the quilt, and then went to lie down on his own bed.
After a while, a drizzle suddenly began to fall. The weather in the end times is usually gloomy, it rains easily, and the sun rarely appears for a long time.
Xu Jinxiao got up and sat in front of the window to see what was happening outside.
This base is quite large, with a hospital, residential areas, and a combat training ground. It has everything you need. The outermost area is cordoned off with barbed wire, but the barbed wire alone is definitely not enough; it should also be powered.
It looks like the east side will continue to expand, and construction of new buildings has already begun.
He took in the scene below and couldn't help but sigh that this female city lord was indeed very powerful.
Zhou Ye and Chu Han came to the room, each occupying a bed, with their backs to each other, ignoring each other.
Chu Han simply didn't want to see him, while Zhou Ye was shy and felt confused, so he didn't dare to look at her.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, several people gathered in a room, sat on the thick carpet, and discussed the negotiations together.
"Captain, judging by the city lord's straightforward temper, our next negotiations should be very simple."
Zheng Tie recalled Manhua's series of actions and felt that she must be a gentleman.
