Min Qiu used his wood-based superpower to eliminate the person who was beating Qin Yan with a single wooden spike.
Someone suddenly collapsed to the ground, blood pooling on the floor, and the surroundings fell into an instant deathly silence.
"Someone's dead!" someone shouted in terror.
"Who? Who killed my brother?" The leader turned around and looked around.
Min Qiu's assistance to Qin Yan this time is the final repayment of Qin Yan's life-saving grace. After today's parting, they will be nothing more than strangers meeting on the road again.
Min Qiu strode towards the inner city, completely ignoring Qin Yan's disappointed gaze.
Upon arriving at the western area of the Changlin base, Min Qiu spent two level-two crystals to rent a detached villa for a month.
"I need to hire someone to clean my house, for a level one crystal."
Min Qiu stood on the street and immediately recruited qualified cleaning workers.
The cleaning staff cleaned quickly and thoroughly. After finishing the work, Min Qiu kept his promise and generously gave her a first-grade crystal.
"Thank you, miss, you are such a kind person."
The cleaning staff placed the crystals, packed up their cleaning tools, and left.
Min Qiu locked the front door, and with a wave of her hand, several items appeared out of thin air in the villa's living room. An hour later, Min Qiu finished tidying up her cozy little home.
Wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, Min Qiu revealed a hearty smile.
"Trash, do you have any cultivation techniques for developing superpowers?"
While eating lunch, Min Qiu casually asked Ji Xiaoxiao a few questions.
Ji Xiaoxiao snapped out of her cultivation and said, "Yes."
Min Qiu obtained the cultivation method for supernatural abilities. He stayed up all night without sleep and showed no signs of fatigue. Instead, he felt refreshed and energetic. His skin, which was as white and smooth as jade, was rosy and lustrous. His eyes, which were as bright and deep as obsidian, shone brightly. At first glance, they were terrifyingly dark.
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Min Qiu quickly finished her breakfast and went out to take a look around.
The Changlin Base stretches from the western border of the mountains to the eastern heart of the vast grasslands, encompassing hills, streams, forests, and grasslands, covering a vast and expansive area.
Min Qiu wandered around, and even with her memories of her past life, she still felt an inexplicable sense of unfamiliarity with the Changlin Base.
"It's really too big."
In her previous life, Min Qiu was powerless and dared not leave her small plot of land, remaining ignorant and narrow-minded. After gaining the power to control her own life, Min Qiu belatedly realized that she had never properly understood the Changlin Base where she would later make her home.
Changlin Base is divided into two sections: the West District is the residential area for those with superpowers, the East District is the area for high-ranking officials from various departments of Changlin Base and their families, while the South and East Districts are for ordinary people. Min Qiuwang walked eastward and unexpectedly encountered his childhood friend, Liu Qingqi.
"Xiao Qiu?" Liu Qingqi strode over and carefully examined Min Qiu's face. "Xiao Qiu? Min Qiu? Is that you? I'm Liu Qingqi, your elder brother Liu."
Min Qiu thought for a moment before remembering who Liu Qingqi was.
The Liu and Min families were once neighbors. Liu Qingqi and Min Qiu were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Their relationship was very close, even more so than that of biological siblings. However, after Liu Qingqi turned eighteen, the Liu family moved away from their former villa, forcing the close childhood sweethearts to separate.
Including the time they missed in their previous lives, Min Qiu and Liu Qingqi hadn't seen each other for a full fourteen years. No wonder Min Qiu couldn't recognize Liu Qingqi, who had grown up so much.
"Didn't you move to Y City? What are you doing at Changlin Base?"
"Xiao Qiu, why don't you call me Brother Liu?" Time has passed, things have changed, and the cute little girl has become distant from him. Liu Qingqi's bright eyes dimmed a little.
“Brother Liu,” Min Qiu said casually.
"Yes." Liu Qingqi responded cheerfully, her upturned lips maintaining a slight curve even as she eloquently explained the ins and outs.
"You moved back to City X three months ago?"
Min Qiu rummaged through her hazy memories. Three months ago, the television had solemnly reported that the business tycoon Liu family was returning to X City. Min Qiu had just been reborn at that time and was busy dealing with her unruly younger sister Min Chun, managing the Min family's assets, and acquiring supplies. She glanced at the news and immediately forgot about it.
No wonder the deputy base chief of Changlin Base in my previous life was named Liu Qingqi. Min Qiu thought he was a stranger with the same name. So that's how it is!
The person before him was the future deputy base chief of Changlin Base. Getting close to him would be entirely beneficial. Min Qiu pondered this and then began chatting and laughing with his childhood friend whom he hadn't seen for many years.
"Xiao Qiu, I have something to tell you."
Liu Qingqi stopped calling out and looked at Min Qiu with a stubborn gaze.
"What's up?"
For some reason, alarm bells rang loudly in Min Qiu's mind.
"Xiao Qiu, your uncle and aunt are fine. They're at my house." Liu Qingqi thought that Min Qiu's coldness and aloofness were due to the tragic deaths of her family members.
Upon hearing this, Min Qiu's pupils contracted sharply.
"Brother Liu, can you take me to find them?"
Min Qiu couldn't wait to see her parents who had given her life and raised her for twenty-three years.
Liu Qingqi readily agreed and led Min Qiu to the villa in the eastern district where the Liu family lived.
Before the apocalypse, the Liu family had plenty of money and connections. They also ran businesses in steel and cement, hotels, and restaurants, and possessed countless resources.
After the apocalypse broke out, the head of the Liu family, with foresight, used 80% of his family's assets to successfully secure the position of logistics director of the Changlin Base when the government established it.
The logistics supervisor was in charge of all the supplies at the Changlin base. As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," so it was only natural that the Liu family could live in such a large villa.
Upon seeing the young master return, the gatekeeper respectfully opened the door, and Min Qiu and Liu Qingqi continued walking forward. Inside the villa, the trees were lush and the flowers and plants were neatly arranged, showing that the Liu family had put a lot of thought into the exterior decoration.
