Chapter 120 Catching the Mutant Chicken
"As long as you and Wu Yue act well, I will always be at the base."
"...What does this mean?" Ming Peilan was a little confused.
"Because only the two of you know that I'm not here, if anyone asks you, just say you've seen me, and no one will doubt you."
After all, Ming Peilan is like Chen Qingqing's relative, and Wu Yue is Chen Qingqing's closest partner.
Whenever someone asks, Ming Peilan says that Chen Qingqing has met her, and Wu Yue says that Chen Qingqing left in a hurry after explaining something.
In everyone's mind, Chen Qingqing did return to the base.
It's just that because the incident happened suddenly, she couldn't meet everyone one by one.
Ming Peilan understood, but became even more nervous.
"This is not a trivial matter. Qingqing, have you figured it out? Are you really not going to tell anyone else?"
Chen Qingqing smiled and said, "You two are the only ones I trust the most."
As for Shang Li...
He had told Chen Qingqing in person that he hoped Chen Qingqing would not tell him important things. He was worried that some of his thoughts would be spied on by the enemy.
So even if Shang Li found out in the future that Chen Qingqing had deliberately concealed the truth from him, he would not be sad.
"Since you have made up your mind, go with confidence. We will definitely perform until the last moment."
"But you have to come back as soon as possible."
Chen Qingqing nodded: "It will take at most ten days to go back and forth."
"Aunt Ming, thank you for your hard work during these ten days."
Chen Qingqing finally looked at Shang Li and asked Cong Xin to see Luo Yu.
Although Cong Xin was confused as to why she was asked to visit Sister Luo again after having just visited her, since there was such an opportunity, she would of course like to spend more time with Sister Luo.
Chen Qingqing told Shang Li to have a good rest and said that she might be very busy during this period.
"Sister, please do what you have to do. You don't have to come to see me all the time," Shang Li chuckled, and his spirit did not look like that of a person who had been through the gates of hell a few days ago.
Chen Qingqing specially asked Lao Lu to prepare a small refrigerator. She took out several boxes of frozen fruits, raspberries, durian, grapes, and various drinks from the space.
"Eat more if you're bored," said Chen Qingqing.
Shang Li was so touched: "Sister, you really treat me like a child."
"Actually, I don't need these, you can leave them for Xiao Huan."
"I don't want them." Xiao Huan sat beside the bed, took out a piece of candy from her pocket and put it on Shang Li's bedside table, "Uncle is sick, he should eat more delicious food."
"This piece of candy was given to me by my mother today, I give it to uncle, uncle must get better soon!"
Shang Li's eyes were filled with tears: "Thank you Xiao Huan, uncle will work hard to get well and try to play with you as soon as possible."
Chen Qingqing held Xiao Huan's hand and walked out the door. Xiao Huan stood at the door and waved goodbye to Shang Li reluctantly.
Several people returned to the car and set off for the woods in the west, and Lao Lu drove the truck behind them.
Chen Qingqing was the co-pilot, with Shen Shen sitting in the safety seat behind her, Xiao Huan sitting in the middle, and Cong Xin on her left.
Cong Xin looked outside curiously. Although the insect swarms were still there, she could see the street scenes along the road through the dense insect swarms after getting used to it.
She noticed that the car seemed to be heading towards the city's borders.
Chen Qingqing: "We are going to catch mutant chickens."
Cong Xin asked curiously: "Are we the only ones? Where are You Zhi and Aunt Ming?"
"They have other arrangements."
Cong Xin felt a little regretful: "I also want to learn how to control superpowers from You Zhi... But there's no rush, I'll look for him when I go back later."
Chen Qingqing: "We are not going back to the base for the time being."
Cong Xin was stunned: "...What?"
Chen Qingqing turned her head and looked at Cong Xin seriously: "We plan to go back to H City."
Chen Qingqing paused and added: "Take you with me."
Cong Xin looked confused, as if she couldn't accept this fact immediately.
"H City... I heard that it takes two or three days to drive from here?"
"Yes, we have to exchange food with other bases along the way, so it will take longer."
Cong Xin opened her mouth, but before she spoke, her eyes turned red and her voice couldn't stop shaking: "Then... will we come back?"
"Of course."
Chen Qingqing couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.
"What are you thinking about?" "
We brought you with us to train your superpowers. Aunt Ming has things to do in the base, You Zhi's personality is unstable, and Ayang is still injured, so they can't take you with them." "
Travel with us, there will be many opportunities for you to practice along the way."
"At most ten days, we will definitely be able to come back."
Hearing this, Cong Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
She touched her chest and said thankfully: "I was scared to death, I thought..."
Lin Bo looked at Cong Xin who looked lucky through the rearview mirror and couldn't help laughing: "Do you think we are going to sell you?"
Cong Xin blushed: "No..."
"Dad, how do you know that Aunt Cong thinks so?" Xiao Huan blinked.
Chen Qingqing immediately warned Xiao Huan seriously: "Xiao Huan, you can't read minds casually, it's impolite."
Xiao Huan stuck out his tongue: "Okay, I know."
Cong Xin, who had just come to her senses, was shocked again: "Read minds? Who?"
Xiao Huan tilted her head and blinked her big eyes at Cong Xin: "It's me."
Cong Xin: "..."
You Zhi had said before that Xiao Huan was also a superpower, but she didn't expect it to be this type of superpower.
This family is really full of crouching tigers, hidden dragons.
"I'm sorry."
Xiao Huan thought she was angry, so he apologized obediently, "I didn't mean it. I will try not to read your mind in the future."
Cong Xin waved her hands quickly: "No, I'm not angry, I'm just a little surprised."
"You are the youngest superpower I have ever seen."
Xiao Huan grinned: "I know! Xiao Huan is very powerful, right?"
Cong Xin was infected by his smile and felt much more relaxed: "Yes, Xiao Huan is very powerful!"
They soon arrived at the mountain where You Zhi's grandmother was buried, and walked up along the route in their memory. Sure enough, they found a forest with leaves still on it not long after.
"We must act as carefully as possible." Chen Qingqing warned Lao Lu and Cong Xin.
"Last time I came, I just approached, and this group of mutant chickens flew up immediately."
They were very alert.
The two nodded seriously and walked more carefully.
After only two days, the forest was about to wither due to the sudden drop in temperature.
The leaves were frozen and withered, and the trunks lost their vitality.
But thanks to the drop in temperature, the mutant chickens that had been hiding in the forest before could no longer hide their bodies.
They squatted side by side on the branches, each of them was so round from eating that they bent the branches.
Chen Qingqing stopped at a distance.
But this time there was no forest to cover them, and several mutant chickens saw them from a distance.
They flapped their wings and flew up, but their bodies were too heavy to fly, so they could only jump from one branch to the next.
The other mutant chickens did not fly up in groups like "frightened birds" like when Chen Qingqing first came.
They stood up and stared at the few people for a while. Seeing that they had no intention of moving forward, they shook their wings and squatted back.
Cong Xin: "..."
Is this the alert mutant chicken?
