Chapter 334: The Favorite of the End Times (14)
The third task is not difficult to complete.
After arriving at her destination, Qiao Xi realized that she couldn't stand out too much. She thought everyone should have at least one weakness. So she stayed at the third mission location for two days, wandering around.
By the way, I also found an airdrop that had been shelved for some time.
No one had touched the contents.
They were all easy-to-store foods, such as canned meat, water, some self-heating foods, and portable military rations. If you had fire abilities, you could boil water and eat steaming hot rice.
Wait until the time is almost up.
She completed the third and final task, uploaded the attachment like the previous two times, and then took out the food from the airdrop and hid it in the space crack.
She ate a little to save it.
Just enough to maintain this body, take the rest back to the base for distribution.
Qiao Xi has been away from the dormitory for three consecutive days.
When she didn't come back the first night, the other roommates quickly realized something was wrong. Michelle Cha, who had broken up with Wen Renyuan and felt awkward about not wanting to see him again, was also worried.
Also because of Qiao Xi’s disappearance.
He came back from the arena early and reunited with Dongfang Xian, Ling Lin and others.
It was almost dawn but no one showed up.
They had no choice but to give up and plan to wait and see the situation the next day.
Michelle Yim's team is newly formed, and everyone is usually busy with their own things and doesn't have much free time to look at their phones.
but.
When Michelle Yim went to the underground arena again, she heard some people with special abilities discussing a big boss who suddenly appeared and took on three five-star tasks in one go.
Michelle Yim also knew about this.
However, she did not react to this. After being surprised for a moment, she decided that she should also work hard to reach this level, and instead worked even harder.
The official has not explained the identity of this big boss.
Therefore, the public does not know who this mysterious boss is. As for the videos of Qiao Xi fighting monsters, currently only the base director, some senior executives, and the base's official psychic team have seen them.
The other psychics were completely unaware of this.
There are many different opinions on the forum, and everyone is guessing the identity of the boss.
When Qiao Xi didn't come back the second night, Dongfang Xian clearly felt that Ling Lin was not in a good state. However, he thought that Ling Lin was probably worried about Qiao Xi.
After all, he is the same.
Wen Renyuan blamed himself for this. It was he who saved Qiao Xi in the beginning, but later he gradually ignored Qiao Xi when he was dating Mi Xuecha.
Until now.
He was busy taking care of Wenren Jialan in the hospital and paid little attention to the girl he had saved. What if Qiao Xi ran away from home suddenly because of a mental illness?
Thinking about it this way, he felt even more guilty.
"Go to the trouble base to look for someone?" Mi Xuecha sighed. How could he just leave without saying goodbye? Couldn't he at least say hello to someone?
What a heartless person.
"I checked the records. She left the base on her own."
Ling Lin glanced at her indifferently and took over the topic.
Since leaving the base, Qiao Xi has not returned yet. No one knows where she went or where she is now. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
not to mention.
The base will not send people to look for someone just because they leave. After all, there are people registering to leave Base C every day, and not everyone wants to stay and settle down.
"Why did she leave?"
Wen Renyuan looked at Dongfang Xian. He heard that when Qiao Xi left, only Dongfang Xian and her were left in the dormitory.
And this brother of mine.
Wen Renyuan also knew that sometimes he might not be too careful and might act a little too intimately with girls.
Although it wasn't intentional.
But teasing someone invisibly can also be deadly. Maybe he did something to Qiao Xi, so the girl was shy and embarrassed to stay and left?
It's possible.
Wen Renyuan thought of Qiao Xi's timid and clear eyes, and also remembered that she was huddled in a dirty ball in the corner of the convenience store, as if trying to protect herself.
That look was as if he was afraid of others approaching.
According to other people, he seems to have become more cheerful during this period. However, it is not easy to completely change a person.
"...Maybe it's because of me?"
Dongfang Xian scratched his head and said uncertainly.
At that time, he asked Qiao Xi if she wanted to go to the underground arena. Qiao Xi suddenly stood up and said, "Thank you for your care during this period. I'm going to take the mission." It seemed like that.
etc!
Dongfang Xian reacted suddenly and realized something was wrong.
"She said she was going to take a mission!"
Dongfang Xian slammed the table and stood up, startling Mi Xuecha who was drinking water and almost choking. "Cough, cough, cough, what?"
Wen Renyuan subconsciously took out a tissue and handed it to her.
He just raised his hand to help the girl smooth her back, but as if he thought of something, Wen Renyuan's hand froze in mid-air and did not fall, and finally he retracted it.
Michelle Mi was completely stunned when she saw the tissue handed to her.
The boy's behavior was beyond her expectations.
But……
Even after breaking up, they were still treating her like this. What was she? What was their reason for doing this? Was it sympathy? Or was it a subconscious desire to be nice to her?
I can't give her the forever she wants.
Please don't do these things to make her feel soft-hearted.
Mi Xuecha turned her eyes away from him, nor did she take the tissue that Wen Renyuan handed over. She raised the back of her hand and casually wiped her lips, as if this person did not exist.
She likes Wen Renyuan.
She really liked him. This was the first person she had ever fallen in love with, so it was impossible not to have a deep affection for him. Michelle always simply fantasized about their future together, thinking that she would be with him forever.
Too bad boys don’t think so.
The love she wanted was too heavy, and Wen Renyuan couldn't do it and couldn't afford it.
The latter was silent for a while and then consciously withdrew his hand, pretending nothing had happened.
The originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became awkward because of this little episode. Dongfang Xian didn't know how to smooth things over. The temperature was so cold that even he wanted to shiver.
If you get close to them, you will be in trouble.
Ling Lin pursed his lips, seemingly unaware of the subtle atmosphere. "So, Qiao Xi took the mission on her own?"
Dongfang Xian breathed a sigh of relief and immediately continued the conversation.
"I think so, but there's no notification on our team account. She might have taken on some odd jobs outside the base, so she hasn't returned."
The outskirts of the base are a bit far from the center.
Food and accommodation are provided there. Some people are too lazy to go back to the dormitory and stay there. They have all the basic necessities.
We can start work early the next morning.
It's convenient.
This makes sense. Qiao Xi probably took on some peripheral tasks and had to do so much work every day. She must have been so tired that she didn't even have the energy to come back.
Come to think of it.
A girl with thin arms and legs, so weak and frail, has to work hard to move bricks.
This scene was unimaginable to Mi Xuecha, not even Dongfang Xian. Qiao Xi must have been too busy to take on these tasks and didn't come back. In that case, Qiao Xi did greet them.
Ling Lin glanced at him sideways.
"So, Qiao Xi told you that she was going to take on a mission, and you forgot?"
Dongfang Xian noticed the cold light in his eyes and felt a little guilty for a moment: "Don't I remember it now?"
The last bit of uneasiness in Mi Xuecha's heart disappeared, and she stood up: "Since it's just a mistake, it's okay. I'll be leaving first."
She is also climbing the rankings in the underground arena.
The competition became more intense as she went forward, and she was gradually beginning to feel the strain. Even though some people lacked superpowers, their rich skills were amazing.
There are also many things worth learning.
This was Michelle Mi's first time participating in an underground arena competition, and she didn't fully understand many of the rules. If she wanted to improve her ranking, she would have to devote more time and energy.
So she left in a hurry.
Wen Renyuan was the second one to leave. He came back to bring lunch to Jia Lan in the hospital. He took advantage of the free time at noon to discuss Qiao Xi's whereabouts with the people in the dormitory.
Now I know the girl is fine.
Then all we need to do is have someone leave the base and look around.
There were so many projects under construction outside, so at most it would just take a little longer. It wouldn't be too late to find the person and bring him back. At most, they could earn a few more points, so that Qiao Xi wouldn't have to take on these hard tasks.
As for Qiao Xi, the center of everyone's discussion.
As soon as she returned to the base, she was invited by Base Commander C, who had received the news and rushed over. He said there was a special mission and asked her if she was willing to take it.
Qiao Xi looked at the extra money in her account.
After completing three five-star difficulty missions, I instantly felt the joy of being a wealthy person. It was like I was getting a little rich. Who would refuse such a good thing?
"We just need to support Base B?"
Qiao Xi, who was sitting face to face with the head of Base C in the office, couldn't help but feel curious when she saw the description of the new task sent to her mobile phone.
Base C had also been there to provide support before.
It can be said that he is experienced. If Qiao Xi takes the task this time, he will act together with the official team of Base C, and he can also consult experienced team members on the way.
You can also learn more about Base B.
"Yes, Base B is often harassed by mutant animals or attacked by some strange mutant zombies. However, being bitten by those mutant animals will not infect you with the zombie virus."
Base C Commander recalled.
"Come to think of it, Base B even took the opportunity to capture some mutant animals and tame them. Some of them are now being used by their base."
The commander of Base B is really bold.
After all, young people are passionate, daring and courageous, unlike him, a conservative old man. When faced with such strange attacks, Base Captain C must want to protect his own base first.
It is impossible to catch some mutant animals using such a risky method.
Although some people were injured, he actually managed to capture it, which is quite rare. It is said that the commander of Base B personally captured it, which shows that he is a brave man.
"Oh, by the way, the current commander of Base B is also a level seven psychic."
The captain of Base C seemed to remember something and turned to say something to Qiao Xi.
The different environments led to different speeds of advancement. Furthermore, at Base B, they killed strange creatures every day, and the base commander always led the charge.
Can this not be improved?
It's nothing compared to the wilderness here.
"I understand." Qiao Xi nodded and wrote down everything the commander of Base C said.
Looking at the little girl who was so well-behaved and silent, she seemed to understand but not quite.
The head of Base C gave a few more worried instructions before letting someone from the official team of Base C send Qiao Xi back.
"Ms. Qiao, you are really amazing."
As soon as she left the office, the mixed-race boy with curly hair who was responsible for sending Qiao Xi back stared at her with his light brown eyes, with no concealment of admiration and envy in his eyes.
He seemed somewhat familiar.
The boy scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, revealing two cute little fangs.
"It always makes me feel so safe to go on a mission with you. As expected, being with teammates like you makes me feel like, 'We're invincible! We're about to be carried to the brink of victory!'"
This was probably the first time the boy met someone of similar age.
He immediately started talking non-stop.
However, when he noticed that the girl was blinking her beautiful eyes and looking at him quietly, he suddenly realized that he had said too much. Cen Chen touched the tip of his nose unnaturally.
"Sorry, I'm a little excited to see the real person, I..."
But he hadn't finished his apologetic words.
Cen Chen saw the girl couldn't help but cover her lips and chuckle. Her beautiful and clear eyes curved into crescent shapes with joy, and her gentle and sweet voice was like an early spring breeze that gently brushed against the heartstrings.
Smooth and comfortable.
Gradually make people relax.
"You're quite impressive, too. You look about my age, but you've already been transferred to the same base's official team. Hmm... I heard you have to pass physical and other tests to be selected. Standing out among so many people proves you're quite exceptional."
Qiao Xi also responded with honorifics.
The tone of her voice was always soft and gentle, as if she had no temper.
Cen Chen was also caught off guard.
The girl would say so much to him and also praise him.
Suddenly, he felt a little dizzy. Cen Chen had been constantly attacked by the seniors around him or various big brothers and seniors, and he almost couldn't feel the reality of his own existence.
Now--
This, this familiar feeling of being praised and flattered!
Instantly, he rediscovered the confidence and satisfaction of being a little genius. When he was first selected for the official team, everyone around him praised him like this, saying he had a bright future.
Later, it was probably cooked.
No one said that again, and then the seniors told him not to be proud, and from then on began the fancy hellish training and various blows.
Such long-awaited praise!
Cen Chen's affection for Qiao Xi was growing in his heart, and he also had more goodwill towards this girl who was about the same age as him.
When I was about to send Qiao Xi back to the dormitory.
Cen Chen suddenly stopped where he was, turned around and looked at Qiao Xi seriously: "If you don't mind, would you like to move to the central area? It would be more convenient for us to leave together then."
And at this moment.
Ling Lin and Dongfang Xian, who had just walked out of the dormitory building and were about to go to the outskirts of the base to look for Qiao Xi, happened to see the scene in front of them.
Look at the boy's focused and serious expression, slightly lowering his head and staring at Qiao Xi, and then look at the girl's obviously confused and at a loss expression.
Are you shy or nervous?
The two of them stopped in tacit understanding, and the expressions on their faces gradually froze.
Ling Lin: “…”
Dongfang Xian: “……?”
He clenched his fists. Where the hell did this little curly-haired guy come from?!
