Chapter 44: Recruitment
Yun Shuhuai quietly waited for Xi Qing's answer. Her request sounded very unreasonable. 80% of the crystal cores, this was simply exploitation.
Of course, Xi Qing thought so at first.
But in fact, teaming up with her who had a space was definitely a sure win, but for those who didn't understand the situation, they would naturally think it was an unfair treaty.
Yun Shuhuai had no choice but to be cautious. Her space was a plug-in. If she announced it casually, she didn't know how many monsters and demons would be attracted. She didn't want to cause trouble for herself.
Xi Qing did not answer immediately. She was weighing her words in her heart. Yun Shuhuai looked like she had been living outside for a long time. The role of the crystal core must be very important, otherwise she would not ask for 80%. The first request was really too much. If Yun Shuhuai did not show any impatience at all, she would have thought she was rejecting her.
Yun Shuhuai said that he would compensate her for food, clothing, housing and transportation, so what was the compensation? Was it worth the 80% crystal core?
Xi Qing felt that Yun Shuhuai was not the kind of greedy person. Although she claimed to be very selfish, she did not kill her when she attacked her out of shock after the first meeting. Instead, she generously gave her food and water, and kindly showed her how to get to the shelter. For a survivor of the apocalypse, this was undoubtedly a life-saving grace.
Yun Shuhuai was obviously kind, but her help was only to a certain extent and would not go any further.
There were really too many mysteries about this person. The fact that she could kill the zombies here without any harm showed that she was strong enough. She was dressed neatly and elegantly, and she did not look like someone who survived the apocalypse at all. The food she ate looked exquisite and expensive, and she could easily come to this school. Is this how she lived?
Is it possible that the outside world is not as severe as she imagined? If she can do it on her own, can she do it to the same level as Yun Shuhuai?
Xi Qing glanced at the miserable situation outside and denied her previous doubts in her heart.
If Yun Shuhuai can really provide her with the same food, clothing, shelter and transportation, Xi Qing thinks that it doesn't matter if there are a few less crystal cores. After all, she herself said that she would repay him for saving her life, so she can take a gamble.
As for the second request, Xi Qing was indeed frightened by Yun Shuhuai's aura at the time. It seemed that the air around her had solidified, and she was almost unable to breathe. Judging from Yun Shuhuai's tone, the second one is the most important. Has she been betrayed?
Looking at Yun Shuhuai's face, Xi Qing suddenly remembered who she was. When she heard that the campus beauty of T University had dropped out for some reason, Xi Qing imagined a lot of scenarios in her mind where campus beauties were betrayed by scumbags, which made her particularly hate the betrayers.
It must be said that she was right to a certain extent.
Xi Qing looked around and thought for a while, and finally decided to extend her hand to her, "I agree."
Yun Shuhuai smiled, but she did not hold her hand immediately. Instead, she said to her, "Really? If you regret after agreeing, it will be considered betrayal. If you try to escape..." As she said that, she extended her claws and gently touched Xi Qing's face, with a threatening intention.
"Of course, it's not too late to regret now. You can still choose to go to the shelter to seek help from the army."
Listening to Yun Shuhuai's words, Xi Qing gritted her teeth and said, "No regrets, at least let me repay you."
Yun Shuhuai restrained his smile, looked at her expressionlessly for a while, then curled the corners of his mouth, grabbed her hand and shook it gently, "Welcome to join my team, my companion."
Yun Shuhuai let go of Xi Qing's hand, patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, congratulations on forming a team. We will help each other in the future. Since you have joined the team, there are some things about me that I still need to tell you, but now you need to take a shower and change clothes."
Yun Shuhuai covered her nose to express her disgust without disguising, but her tone was completely harmless, just like the mutual teasing between ordinary friends.
After admitting Xi Qing, Yun Shuhuai relaxed a lot. If it wasn't the end of the world, Xi Qing would have thought she was just an ordinary girl.
Xi Qing wanted to ask how to wash it, but Yun Shuhuai put his index finger in front of his mouth and winked at her, "Don't ask anything first, just follow me."
Yun Shuhuai turned around and walked forward, and Xi Qing followed him. When they walked to the swivel chair, Yun Shuhuai picked up the plate of pastries and handed it to her, "Do you want to eat?"
"Ah, thank you..." Xi Qing took a piece, but she couldn't eat it in this sea of blood and corpses. Seeing Yun Shuhuai throwing the pastry into his mouth as if he had lost his sense of smell, she twitched her lips, and then tried to ignore the corpses around her and took a bite.
Her eyes lit up instantly. It was delicious, very delicious. You could tell from the appearance of this pastry that it was very expensive. It tasted soft and delicious. It didn't look like it had been stored for a long time. It looked like it was just made. Where did she get it from?
The school didn't sell such high-end pastries. Did she come from the Lake Island Commercial Center?
With doubts, Xi Qing followed Yun Shuhuai to the third floor and was shocked by the piles of corpses in the lobby.
The strange thing was that the corpses were concentrated in the reading area of the lobby. The area near the bookshelves was very clean. What was even more incredible was that all the books on the bookshelves were gone!
Xi Qing then realized where the sense of disharmony she felt on the second floor came from. Thinking carefully, there were fewer books on the second floor, but there were also many blood-stained books on the ground. Because the second floor was too messy, she did not suspect anything. Now looking at the empty bookshelves on the third floor, she felt that Yun Shuhuai did it.
It couldn't be that the zombies ate the books.
She looked at Yun Shuhuai's back, suppressed her doubts, and followed her up the stairs to the rooftop.
The rooftop was locked by a big hard iron door, and students were generally not allowed to go there before the end of the world.
Just when Xi Qing was thinking about how to get up, she saw Yun Shuhuai's hand pop out sharp claws, and as if cutting tofu, the claws easily penetrated the iron sheet and broke the door lock. Xi Qing
was stunned. Even if she used an electric saw, it would not be so easy to break the iron sheet.
Yun Shuhuai pushed open the iron door, and after they both went in, she took out a piece of iron chain from somewhere and locked the door tightly.
Xi Qing didn't see where she took it out from. She just felt her eyes flash, and the iron chain appeared from her hand.
Xi Qing's eyes widened, and she suddenly felt that she seemed to understand what was going on!
While she was guessing, Yun Shuhuai stepped forward and waved his hand, and a tall RV suddenly appeared on the open space on the rooftop. Xi Qing was so scared that she almost sat on the ground.
She looked at the RV and then at Yun Shuhuai, her mouth wide open in surprise and speechless.
Now the tables and chairs that were taken out from nowhere, snacks, and books that disappeared inexplicably have an explanation. No wonder, no wonder Yun Shuhuai emphasized not to betray her!
Xi Qing is now extremely glad that she chose to follow Yun Shuhuai. In the end times, being able to follow someone with such ability will definitely not worry about food and drink. What does it matter if there are fewer crystal cores? Even if there is only 10%, she agrees.
Betrayal? The moment she saw the car, Xi Qing deleted these two words from her dictionary.
