Chapter 112 Welfare Extra: The children want to play together.
After becoming the lord of the Free Base, Xinxue devoted most of her energy to managing all matters of the base, leaving her with little time to take care of her children and the family.
Fortunately, their little snake and turtle have strong self-care abilities, eat very well, and have become plump and white.
And Ashu is a devil.
When Xinxue was watching, she did what she could on her own.
After Xinxue was no longer available to take care of her, she left most of the tasks to other evolved species and residents of the base, and just did what she wanted to do.
Everyone in the Free Base is used to the feeling of being "exploited for labor."
Sometimes, in the midst of my busy schedule, I look up and think that as an ordinary person, being able to participate in such a major event as base construction is a matter of honor for my family.
You have to know that when the old city lord was in power, most ordinary people could only be treated like cattle and horses and be bullied, and only those with special abilities could enjoy preferential treatment.
That day, Xinxue sat at the table, put down the friendship requests from other bases, and touched the little snake that was sleeping curled up on her body.
The child is six years old now. He can already transform into a human form and run around. He is at the age of being lively.
But at noon she still likes to run to her mother's place and change back into snake form to sleep. Her snake form develops much faster than her human form, and now it fills the entire office.
The excuse is that they are using snake scales to cool down the mother, but in reality everyone knows that she is just suffering from mama's boy syndrome.
The snake scales on the little snake baby feel particularly good, fine and smooth, and not prickly at all.
While the mother and daughter were being affectionate and filial, little Guibao was sitting upright beside them reading official documents.
Ever since adopting this daughter, Xinxue has never been on guard against her. These things that should have been confidential have never been secrets in front of the child.
When Xinxue first took over the base, he knew nothing and had to rely on learning everything by trial and error.
She has to ask Xiao Guibao for advice on many things, and it can even be said that Xin Guiye is her enlightenment teacher.
Suddenly, Xin Guiye seemed to see some special letter.
She picked up the envelope and waved it at Xinxue. "Mom! This letter is actually from the Dawn Base! Have you read it?"
Xin Xue glanced at it and nodded.
"The Dawn Base wants to establish diplomatic relations with us and is asking if they can lend us some evolved species to help. I plan to wait for Ah Shu to come back and ask her if she's interested in cooperating."
Xin Guiye disagreed a little, "Mom, don't you know the situation at the Dawn Base? You'd better think about this more and send someone to check it out before making a decision."
Xin Xue recalled carefully after hearing this.
After a moment, she also showed a surprised expression.
"Could it be that base where the rumor is that the entire city has converted to religion and the people are being held captive by the church?"
Xinxue had heard a little about this base and always found it difficult to understand.
The world is in ruins. Those people have hands and feet, but they don't know how to use their own strength to resist foreign invasion.
What’s the point of just praying to gods and Buddhas?
Seeing that she didn’t understand, Xin Guiye continued, “This is not a legend, it’s true!
In the past, the old city lord saw that the people in that base were living a life with abundant supplies before the end of the world, and once wanted to send troops to capture them.
But that base has a special barrier, and those he sent out cannot enter unless they are religious.”
It sounds like he is really capable.
Xinxue became interested and guessed that there might be some powerful psychic guarding that place.
She continued, "What if they pretend to be believers?"
"It's useless." Xin Guiye said firmly, "If you are not a true believer, you will definitely not be able to enter the Dawn Base."
Xinxue picked up the letter and examined it carefully, wondering, "So what does it mean for them to send this letter? Are they inviting us over to preach to the evolved species?"
Although the IQ of evolved species is infinitely close to that of humans, and some are even smarter than humans, most of them are furry and stupid!
Do we have to make the giant rat, the sika deer, and the little snake recite scriptures and worship gods as humbly and respectfully as humans?
Just thinking about that scene made Xinxue want to laugh.
"I don't know what the Dawn Base is thinking, but we all believe in you and Ah Shu!"
It was they who brought together the evolved species that were originally displaced and living on the edge of life, so that they could enjoy the prosperity of the world together with humans.
So even though everyone doesn't say it out loud, they actually support and love Xinxue and Ashu completely in their hearts, and regard them as the gods who saved them.
Xinxue never thought that her weight would be so heavy.
Her heart felt warm and sour, and she felt an indescribable pleasure and relief.
That night, after Xinxue and Ashu had a passionate moment, she suddenly remembered this incident and took out the letter.
In the night, the giant snake's satisfied eyes flickered with a faint light.
Ah Shu spit out his snake tongue and rubbed it against the fresh snow, leaving his scent on her warm cheek.
But what he said was: "I don't want to go on a business trip, please send Captain Lu and Captain Feng."
Now that Xinxue is the city lord, there are many times when she cannot leave the city at will, so the longest separation period she can accept is three days.
If he stays away for more than three days, he will definitely ask to go home.
The Dawn Base is farther away than the Southern Forest. It takes more than a month to go back and forth. She would never want to go there.
Speaking of the humanoid bee colony, Xinxue continued, "Weren't they busy dividing up a new hive? How's that going? Did you go check it out?"
A few years ago, the Army disappeared, and then reappeared with his dead girlfriend. He built a honeycomb barrier that was invisible to the naked eye under and around the Freedom Base.
Since then, they have even withdrawn the personnel patrolling around the base.
Protected by the swarm, no creature can approach the free base without permission.
At the beginning of this year, the nine baby bees in Captain Lu's family grew up and were clamoring to leave the nest but not their home.
Although Lu Erya felt distressed, she also knew that a grown-up child is no longer under the control of his mother.
So I personally led the team to look for a place for the baby bees to build another home. I was very busy in the first six months.
At that time, Xinxue asked her if she needed help. If not, she would establish diplomatic relations with other bases in the name of a free base and let the baby bees establish new bees in other bases.
But Lu Erya considered it and did not agree.
She always felt that her children would be deceived by the cunning city lords of other bases and be worked like slaves, so she insisted on finding a place for herself.
Although Ah Shu always said that she only cared about her own snakes and turtles, she felt uncomfortable when she saw the group of bees buzzing around without speaking human language.
But she knew exactly what was happening inside the humanoid bee colony.
She replied, "They've finished everything and split into two hives. One group is stationed in the gymnasium where we used to live, and they also inherited the giant rats we raised.
Another group occupied a hilltop and built an above-ground beehive where flowers bloom year-round."
"That sounds really good." Xinxue nuzzled into Ah Shu's arms again. "Since Captain Lu and Captain Feng have already prepared everything, let's invite them to go."
Ah Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his snake tongue slid across Xinxue's neck, breathing cold, wet air on her skin. "Tell them to take Xin Cangzhu and Xin Guiye with them. The children have grown up, and it's time for them to go out and experience life."
Although the two children are now six years old, they still cling very closely to their mother.
If she hadn't been quick today and called the little snake and the little turtle back to their rooms to put them to sleep while Xinxue was washing up, she wouldn't have been able to eat the meat.
"Ah?" Xinxue suspected that she was hallucinating when she heard this. She had never thought about this problem before.
A Shu knew that she would most likely refuse, but since it concerned her own happy life, she still spoke bravely.
Unexpectedly, Xinxue thought seriously and raised her head, "What you said makes sense, they are not ordinary humans.
The two children grow up much faster than humans. They have been used to following you everywhere these past few years, so only by going far away can they gain some experience."

The next day, in the conference room, Lu Erya listened to Xinxue's story about visiting the Dawn Base and establishing diplomatic relations with it, and immediately agreed.
A hint of nostalgia flashed in her eyes. "We've been away from the hive for too long. Although we can communicate with Cui and the others through the hive mind, seeing is believing. It would be nice to go back and take a look."
Xinxue knew that she and Feng Qiang were in tune with each other, and her words could represent the opinions of both of them.
She continued, "I'd like you to bring Xin Cangzhu and Xin Guiye with you on this trip. It's a training exercise, so you don't have to take extra care of them. Just make sure they come back safe and sound."
This time, Lu Erya and Feng Qiang looked at each other several times, as if they were having a heated debate in their minds.
In the end, Feng Qiang must have had the upper hand. Lu Erya said somewhat unhappily, "You can take them, but they have to be obedient and not make a fuss, otherwise we'll send worker bees to airlift them back early."
When the queen bee travels, she naturally has to bring a lot of maid bees and guard bees with her.
After a quick inventory, a few days later, a swarm of nearly a hundred people soared into the sky.
The sound of bees flapping their wings in the wind can be heard in every corner of the Free Base.
Now it was Ah Shu's turn to worry.
After a while, she asked, "Xue, have you told the little snake and the little turtle everything you need to tell them? They are just children after all, and they may not have considered some details.
I don’t even know if they’ve packed their toothbrushes and children’s toothpaste, or if they’ve brought enough change of clothes.”
After a while, he continued, "Captain Lu, you're such a jerk! They said they were going to research a way for us to join the hive mind and stay in touch at all times. It's been several years, but there's still no progress."
A moment later he became very agitated.
He even called over a humanoid bee: "Xue! I suddenly realized that although we can't directly enter the hive consciousness to communicate with Captain Lu, we can communicate through the humanoid bees!
Think about what you want to ask, she has to go on patrol later!"
Xinxue knew that the one who would be reluctant to part with the child in the end would be Ashuben Snake.
"Snake and Turtle will definitely be fine. It's Aunt Lu who's taking care of them. She's not some untrustworthy stranger.
You really are such a jerk. You only know how to disturb other people's work. Don't do this kind of thing again!"
She smiled apologetically at the human-shaped bee that was innocently pulled here.
He squinted his eyes to look at the evolution lines on her body, helped adjust a few red and black lines, and quickly sent her away.
On the other side, after hearing the helpless cry of the captured humanoid bee, Lu Erya was speechless towards Ashu.
She looked back at Xin Cangzhu and Xin Guiye who were carried safely on the back of the human-shaped bee.
The two delicate and energetic little girls' faces were full of excitement and curiosity, without any fear at all.
No matter how cunning Ah Shu is, he can't fly, so the two of them are only used to riding the Python King High-speed Railway on land.
This time, the two children were riding on a helicopter. With a bird's-eye view, they found everything interesting.
But Lu Erya is also a mother now.
She also knew that as a mother, she would be worried when her child was not with her.
If the hive consciousness could not contact their baby bees at any time, she would never have agreed to let the baby bees split up so early.
After Lu Erya thought about it, she decided to let the human-shaped bee overcome its social anxiety and learn to speak human language.
In the future, I will report to Xinxue and Ashu on their progress from time to time.
The humanoid bee swarm flew very fast, and before they had seen enough of the scenery, they were back in the embrace of the southern forest.
Completely different from the previous mutated tree species, Cui planted many flowering trees here. The sunlight shines into the forest, which is particularly beautiful in the twilight.
Lu Erya and the others decided to reunite with Cui first, and then visit the Dawn Base, so they returned to the familiar beehive and took the two children to see the world.
Who knew that at night, there would be a soft knock on the door.
Lu Erya pushed open the door, only to see two women standing outside.
The shorter one was holding a tender little girl's hand, and a giant leopard was squatting beside him, almost filling up the entire honeycomb tunnel.
Without making any noise, someone sneaked into the hinterland and blocked his door!
If Lu Erya hadn't seen that she had no ill intentions, she would have probably thrown the earring bomb out.
The woman outside the door nodded at her embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but our little treasure insisted on finding friends to play with, otherwise he would cry all the time..."
Lu Erya and Feng Qiang arranged a swarm of bee warriors in their minds while protecting the little snake and turtle behind them. "Who are you?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." Li Zi turned sideways, revealing the beautiful woman behind her who looked like a goddess.
Yan Xiaoyan said, "This is the god of the Dawn Base. I am her wife, Li Zi. Don't worry, your security is no problem. We came directly from another world and just want the child to make a friend."
