Today is the winter solstice of 2275, the 42nd day after the disaster broke out. The noisy Langya City Base in Shashi welcomed a mysterious guest. It was said that this person had an extraordinary identity, so all the senior officials in the base appeared in the open space on the back mountain to greet him.
Gradually, the sun gets higher, the cold air around us slowly becomes warmer, and the black fog gradually thins, making visibility higher. Over the distant woods, the noisy sound of wing flapping gradually appeared. The sound continued to intensify from far to near, and the whine was mixed with a mechanical hum.
Lang Hua said: "They are coming."
People looked up one after another, and after a while, they saw several dark gray helicopters emerging from behind the woods. The first one is the V-36 "Osprey" transport aircraft newly produced by the United States. It is a tilt-rotor aircraft that combines the vertical landing of a helicopter with the high speed, large load, and long range of a fixed-wing aircraft. The cost exceeds tens of millions of dollars. There is an unnamed armed helicopter on each side, equipped with an aerial cannon and four multi-barreled machine guns, which looks full of firepower.
In the howling wind, the branches of the trees around the clearing swayed, looking almost broken. And people also showed signs of instability in their combat power under this wind pressure. A few ordinary evolvers who acted as laborers were already swaying.
Under the strong wind, Lin Wenjin protected his head with both hands and shouted in Lang Hua's ear: "The Qin family is coming in such a big formation."
"Why, are you jealous of this plane?"
"That's not true." Lin Wenjin winked, "Fighters are a man's romance."
"Okay, don't just be envious." Lang Hua said with a smile, "Tell the brothers to cheer up and don't let me, Langya City, lose face."
"okay."
There is a flat site in the open space. The reinforced concrete floor was poured three days in advance, and a simple tarmac pattern was formed with lime and red paint.
In mid-air, the crew was already hovering at the designated location and embarked on a vertical landing. Lang Hua couldn't help but be dazzled when he looked at this behemoth with a wingspan of twenty meters. In his previous life, he also received a period of airborne training in the Nanqi Army Corps, but there were no such luxurious aircraft at that time. The division uses domestic heavy-duty helicopters, which are only half as fast as the Osprey and have a combat radius of only 600 kilometers, which is about 80% of the Osprey.
"What a good thing." Lang Hua sighed.
Two minutes later, the plane stopped and two people got out of the cabin, one old and one young. The older guard-like figure called Lei Li "Third Brother" and seemed to be one of the enshrined elders of the Qin family. The young man walking in front had a white-gray wolf tail hairstyle, his bangs were combed to the back of his head, and his hair went around the ear to reveal a shiny silver nail. He was actually an acquaintance.
"elder brother!"
Like a little bird, Qin Xiaowen jumped straight into the man's arms, which made Lang Hua very happy.
"Xiao Wen, you are indeed fine. That's great. Are you injured anywhere?"
"Brother, I'm fine." Qin Xiaowen held her little head in the other person's arms and acted coquettishly, and the latter could only rub her head lovingly.
"Young Master, Old Fifth, you are here."
"Young Master, Fifth Master Mo."
"Hello, young master, hello Elder Mo."
Lei Li and the other three also came over at this time. When the young man saw her, he patted Qin Xiaowen on the back and signaled her to let go of him temporarily.
"Elder Lei, Xia Qing, Xia Shuang, you have worked hard on this journey."
"Don't dare," Xia Qing said with cupped hands, "It is our duty to protect the young lady."
"Brother Xia, there is no need to be modest. When we return to the Qin family, Chu Sheng will definitely ask for credit for you."
At this time, Qin Xiaowen giggled: "Yes, yes, if it weren't for them, your sister and I would have been eaten by the ugly and disgusting black corpse!"
"You still have the nerve to say it," Qin Chusheng said with a straight face, "If you hadn't escaped privately for fun, how could you have encountered such a dangerous thing as the disaster."
"Oh, I won't listen, I won't listen." Qin Xiaowen covered her ears with her hands, shook her head and said, "Things have happened, can you bear to be so cruel to your beautiful and lovely sister?"
"You, alas..." Qin Chusheng sighed, "When will you become more sensible?"
"I just want to be 16 forever, I... oh, it hurts..."
Qin Xiaowen curled her lips and wanted to make a joke, but Qin Chusheng pinched her face and lectured her: "Do you know it hurts? Do you know how much my father and I were worried about you after the disaster broke out? Come back with me and reflect on it."
"Oh, I know. Just let go."
"Then you swear..."
"I'll serve four." Qin Xiaowen burst into tears and slurred her words.
Qin Chusheng let go of this poor little man. The next second he saw the red color on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Did I strike too hard?
Qin Chusheng felt a little regretful for a moment, but as the saying goes, "Training a girl is fun for a while, but will be cremated afterwards." Even if he wanted to say something flattering at this time, it was too late. The result was that Qin Xiaowen rubbed her face and snorted, leaving him with a round back of his head.
Okay, screwed up again...
He sighed and looked at the others with a wry smile. However, the Xia Qing brothers and sisters hurriedly pretended to look at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses and remained silent. There is no way, if the brother and sister are at odds, what does it mean for them to try to make peace?
It was only then that Qin Chusheng discovered that the temperaments of Xia Qing brother and sister had changed vaguely. Judging from the color of their eyes, they should be first-order evolvers. However, as a second-level ability user, Qin Chusheng felt a faint fluctuation of elemental energy in the two of them. The intensity of Lei Li's aura was roughly the same as his own.
"Have you all become ability users?" Qin Chusheng said in surprise, "Xia Qing, Xia Shuang, well done. The Qin family is in the midst of hiring people, and it's time for you to take on important responsibilities!"
"Thank you, Master." Xia Qing smiled and said, "Thanks to Deputy City Master Lang for this. Including leading us and the lady to break through the corpse blockade and escape from the sand market, I reported it to you in the wireless message."
At this time, the helicopter's rotors finally stopped swinging, and the noise stopped and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Qin Chusheng strode up to Lang Hua and said in a sincere tone: "Brother, is that leader Lang? This time my little sister is safe and sound. It is my Qin family's debt to you!"
Mo Hengyan, the elder of the Qin family, also praised him: "I have heard about my experiences along the way. Leader Lang is really a young man with great talent and resourcefulness."
"No, you two are so polite." Lang Hua laughed, "The disaster has occurred and mankind has suffered a catastrophe. It is natural to support each other. I am just doing it casually."
Lang Hua showed his white teeth and smiled, which suddenly made Qin Chusheng feel a little uncomfortable. After thinking for a while, he realized where this feeling came from. This stinging pain is nothing but the pressure exerted by the energy fields of high-level creatures on low-level creatures. It seems that what Xia Qing said is true. The young man in front of him who is as old as his sister is indeed a third-level ability user!
Even after the disaster, the Qin family's troops hunted a large number of black corpses and prepared simple crystal core potions, but they only had twenty ability users. The success rate of simple awakening potion is limited, and the black corpse group is not that easy to deal with. Most of the twenty ability users in Tianshui City are not high-level and have average combat power. Qin Chusheng, who is in the middle of the second level, is the strongest among them. This shows how rare third-level ability users are at this time.
As Qin Chusheng slowly turned his eyes around, the shock in his eyes gradually deepened. One, two, three... Oh my god, there are actually ten ability users standing here. How could the small Langya City base, with no military background behind it, be able to achieve this level of success? I heard that they spent a month just escaping...
Thinking of this, Qin Chusheng paid more attention to Lang Hua in front of him. If what Xia Qing said in the message is true, the young man in front of him is the real leader of this force. Although there are currently few people in Langya City, I heard that they have found a weapons depot. It is thought that the rise of Langya City will only be a matter of time.
"Yes, support and help each other. Brother Lang Hua, I also hope that the Qin family and Langya City can become friends who help each other."
Lang Hua nodded, shook hands with him and said, "Thank you."
At the same time, Yang Bensheng also came over and said enthusiastically: "You two have come a long way, so it's better to go back to the city and rest first. Let's sit down and chat again."
However, Qin Chusheng waved his hand and said, "I'm not busy. Let's ask a few people to unload the goods first."
He added with a smile: "The Qin family always repays kindness. The planes of these three families were fully loaded with equipment before departure, which is exactly what we want. I heard that City Lord Yang has led people to find an arsenal and wants to come as a single soldier There is no shortage of weapons. Chu Sheng brought some anti-aircraft firepower this time, but the quantity is not large. I hope Langya City will not dislike it."
"What are you talking about, Master Qin?" Yang Bensheng said, cupping his hands, and then called for people to carry the supplies.
He didn't look at it, but he was shocked when he looked at it. Good guy, Qin Chusheng brought nothing but heavy firepower, whether it was anti-material rifles that could penetrate tanks, or machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, and ground-to-surface heavy artillery that could shoot down aircraft. There was even a heavily equipped tank inside each armed helicopter, and all kinds of new equipment filled the belly of the three aircraft. Apart from the cockpit, there was only a place where Qin and Mo sat down.
Lin Wenjin was speechless after seeing it: "This is a great gift for us."
"I made everyone laugh." The excitement when they first met dissipated. Qin Chusheng quickly calmed down, with a hint of arrogance in his words. "The Qin family has established the Tianshui base in the second week of the disaster. Now the main force is busy in the surrounding areas. Clear out the corpses, otherwise it won’t be a problem to support Langya City with two more fighter jets.”
Of course, this promise is useless, because Langya City is located in Fengwei Mountain and there is no condition to build an airport runway. Fighters are not as important to Langya City as two anti-aircraft guns.
The Qin family was one of the famous families before the disaster. The family business "Qinchuan Group" has been inherited for a hundred years. On the surface, it is mainly engaged in logistics, but it is actually a top international military resource consulting company. Its business scope spans the world. It not only has its own aviation fleet, but also has a sizable security team.
After the disaster in the previous life, the military forces moved to the west. After the Qin family established a base in Qinzhou District, Tianshui City, they inherited the Air Force's first experimental training base located north of Dingxin, Gan Province, and became the leading human resistance force in the central region. At this time, they should be preparing to regain the "Kong 1 Base" under the instruction of the military.
With the "Kongyi Base" and the troops left over from the Lanzhou Military Region, the Qin family has become even more powerful. How can they be without aircraft and artillery?
It's really irritating to see people compare to each other. Compared with an established family like the Qin family, Langya City's reserves are not even considered as a nouveau riche, like a farmer who has had a good harvest meets an old emperor. Although Qin Chusheng did not directly point out the shabby condition of Langya City, the fact was that it was inevitable that people would not rely on their status.
Recalling the scenes in his previous life, it seems that this uncle has always looked down on his status as a top soldier. If Chen Xinyan hadn't secretly set up a conspiracy, the good relationship between him and Qin Xiaowen would have been over.
Thinking of this, Lang Hua suddenly grinned and said: "Hahaha, the Qin family's fighter jets are of great use, why do you have the nerve to ask for them? I see the helicopter Brother Qin brought this time, and I like it very much."
"Uh..." Qin Chusheng hesitated upon hearing this, as if he didn't expect Lang Hua to ask for equipment. Although a helicopter is just a drop in the bucket for the Qin family, since he was a child, he has never seen anyone directly asking for a favor...
Lang Hua pretended to be confused and said, "What? Does Master Qin think that your sister is not worthy of this plane?"
Qin Xiaowen was standing next to the two of them, looking at Qin Chusheng with bright eyes, as if she wanted to hear the answer to this sentence.
"What are you talking about? My Xiaowen, not to mention this one, even hundreds of thousands of them are worth it." Qin Chusheng waved his hand and said, "This time I will leave one for Langya City, oh no, keep it Two 'Wuzhi' families serve as a witness to the friendship between us!"
"Oh," Lang Hua clapped his hands, "That's great, let's add the one behind you."
What's the meaning? None of the three planes were spared. Could this man be the reincarnation of a poor man? Otherwise, why would he suddenly open his mouth like a lion?
"Lang Hua, you..."
Qin Chusheng thought about it, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"You're kidding." Lang Hua suddenly smiled mysteriously, "Without a landline, how can you and your sister return to our home? If Mr. Qin finds out, I will definitely not get a good result."
Qin Chusheng believed it to be true and said: "Haha, you are a smart kid. Both martial arts are yours!"
"Brother Qin, don't get me wrong, I only want the Osprey behind you."
At this time, the air seemed to suddenly become quiet. Anyone could see that even two fully armed helicopters were worth much less than the latest V-36 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft. And even if all the equipment in the bellies of these three aircraft are added, it is not enough to be equivalent to the Osprey.
But looking at Lang Hua's serious face, it didn't seem like he was joking. Everyone was silent for a while, Yang Bensheng was solemnly thinking about countermeasures, while Lin Wenjin frowned with an anxious look on his face.
Just when the others were about to smooth things over, Qin Chusheng smiled calmly: "Okay, an Osprey can make brother Lang Hua a friend, and also repay the kindness of saving his roommate, no matter what, it is Chu Sheng who makes the profit. "
At this moment, everyone present was talking a lot. Tens of millions of dollars worth of equipment can be given away at a moment's notice. This kind of confidence and domineering style clearly reveals the style of the first heir of the family. Perhaps in Qin Chusheng's view, this is an ordinary investment.
Times have changed, and the Qin family has no intention of being on good terms with Langya City. Over the years, the family has a very deep understanding of partisanship. In the apocalyptic era, when heroes are vying for the throne, it is always good to have a strong ally. No matter how much money you keep, you won't be able to carry it into the coffin. Only the "good steel" used on the blade has value.
"Oh?" Lang Hua laughed when he heard this, "Brother Qin is so sure that he won't lose money?"
"Of course, I, Qin Chusheng, will not misjudge the person. In addition, the crew also left teachings for Langya City. I think City Lord Yang and Deputy City Lord Lang don't have any aviation professionals."
"Haha, Brother Qin is thoughtful, and you can't go too far, right?" Lang Hua said leisurely, "Langya City has also prepared a gift for Brother Qin."
"Is it the promotion potion that Xia Qing mentioned? Qin thanked him immediately." Qin Chusheng said calmly, "You gave me a third-level ability user from Tianshui base when we met. Brother Lang Hua is really a big deal. This journey Elder Lei has worked hard and achieved great results, so as long as he uses the medicine, Chu Sheng will naturally not covet it."
These words made Lei Li feel warm in his heart. He spoke hurriedly, trying to evade: "Master, this potion is still..."
"Elder Lei, you have watched us two brothers and sisters grow up since you were young. According to our seniority, I should call you Third Grandpa. Chu Sheng thinks there is nothing wrong with this matter, and I think my father will have the same opinion."
Qin Xiaowen was also beside her and said with a smile: "I agree!"
"Count your vote." Qin Chusheng high-fived her and echoed with a smile.
"Brother Qin is really open and honest, which is really admirable." Lang Hua blinked and said, "But the potion last time was agreed upon before. This potion is a small personal gift from me to Brother Qin."
"Two promotion potions?"
How to be promoted to an intermediate evolver is a difficult problem facing everyone at this stage. At present, he has only heard of one third-level ability user, that is Lang Hua, and no one wants to know the secret.
Qin Chusheng was taken aback, but then calmed down: "Then I'd be disrespectful, haha."
"That's great!" Lang Hua praised with a thumbs up.
At this moment, Qin Chusheng truly understood that Lang Hua was the person who could truly make the decision in this base. And such people deserve equal treatment.
Not long after, the trailer transporting supplies in Langya City arrived. The two parties talked harmoniously and prepared to spend the night repairing in Langya City before leaving. But at this moment, Qin Chusheng, who was talking, suddenly faced the corner of the crowd and said in surprise:
"Xinyan? Is it Xinyan?"
He who can calmly give away tens of millions of dollars would actually change his expression at times?
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Xinyan and Qin Chusheng, secretly guessing about the relationship between the two.
Qin Xiaowen obviously knew something about the inside story, so she hurriedly pulled Chen Xinyan over, hugged her arm and explained to Qin Chusheng: "Yes, sister Xinyan escaped from Shashi with us. She is also very powerful."
"It's great that you're okay. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I heard from Uncle Chen that you had gone to Dongshan Province to give clinics and lectures. I didn't expect to meet you here. Uncle Chen and the others couldn't contact you after Advent Day, so they asked me..."
"Young Master Qin, long time no see." Chen Xinyan replied calmly, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
As for Qin Chusheng, the eldest young master who had always been eloquent, he didn't know what to say after being interrupted.
Behind the crowd, Lang Hua secretly rolled his eyes at this scene.
Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, your love rival looks about the same as you...
