"Then can we join now? What are the conditions?"
"You need to go to the base to report the situation of the team members." Captain Kang looked at her and said, "The specific conditions depend on the base you want to join."
Perhaps because of what the mayor had told him, Captain Kang was not perfunctory this time. Although his answer was short and his attitude did not become more enthusiastic, he still answered all questions.
Unexpectedly, the state machine was still operating until now. Lin Qingqing suddenly felt confident in her heart, and she decided to join the establishment after leaving here.
Farewell to Captain Kang, Lin Qingqing walked alone in Baishi Town.
There is only one street in the whole town, which is paved with bluestones. It only takes more than 20 minutes to walk from one end to the other.
It is now noon, and the people who work in the fields have come back one after another. The canteens in the town have begun to cook, and the streets are full of children playing and playing.
Since the population was small and most families only had one person left, the mayor gathered the supplies together and distributed them uniformly.
Farming, hunting, and patrolling each have their own duties, and even the elderly and children have suitable jobs.
After many years, people are living together again because of the apocalypse.
Everyone shared the task of taking care of the elderly and children, and single men and women quickly found new partners in a short period of time and started living together. Everything was going on in an orderly manner under the new order.
The apocalypse is still going on, but the people of Baishi Town have quickly adapted to their new life.
"Snapped"!
A stone suddenly hit the stone slab at Lin Qingqing's feet.
She paused subconsciously, and when she turned her head, she saw several monkey children with snot bubbles on their noses, pushing and shoving together.
The oldest of these children was only six or seven years old, and the youngest looked to be only three or four years old. They looked at the stranger quietly, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
Seeing the other party coming this way, the older children were frightened and scattered in a swarm. Even the younger ones ran away in the same way. In the end, only one child with a slingshot in his hand was left. The fat man stood there blankly.
Lin Qingqing had no interest in blaming the child. She was attracted by the slingshot in the little fat man's hand.
"Little brother, can you show me the slingshot in your hand?" Lin Qingqing walked up to the little fat man, bent down, and said in a gentle voice.
The little fat man was stunned when he heard this, and then he subconsciously looked around, only to realize that his friends had run away without knowing it.
He was a little panicked for a moment, but when he saw that the sister opposite was smiling and not looking angry, he reluctantly handed over the slingshot in his hand.
"You... take a look, take a look and return it to me"! The little fat man said nervously.
He looked at Lin Qingqing with a guilty conscience. He was the one who hit the pebble just now, otherwise he would have run away long ago.
"Well, I'll just take a look and return it to you after reading it," Lin Qingqing said in a positive tone.
After taking the slingshot from the little fat man's hand, she took a closer look at what the slingshot looked like.
This is a hand-made and extremely exquisite professional slingshot for outdoor survival. It is scaled down one to one and painted on the surface. It is very suitable for children's hands. And I don’t know what kind of metal it is made of. It looks quite heavy, but it is very light to hold.
Lin Qingqing tried to pull the rubber band and found that the force was not very strong. This design was obviously specially made for children to play with.
A toy can be made so professionally, Lin Qingqing is very interested in the person who makes the slingshot.
"Little brother, this slingshot is very beautiful. My sister also likes it very much." Lin Qingqing raised the slingshot in her hand and said to the little fat man.
Seeing him tense up instantly and looking like he was about to cry, she smiled and said, "Can you tell me who made this for you? I also want to ask him to make one exactly like it for me."
Hearing what she said, the little fat man breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer afraid of her. He pointed in a direction and held Lin Qingqing's arm to lead her.
Go, for fear that your toys will be taken away if you go late.
Lin Qingqing relaxed her body, let the little fat man pull her, and followed him to the door of a small courtyard on the edge of the town.
There was only one bamboo door in the yard that was ajar, and the little fat man didn't even knock on the door, just opened it and rushed in.
"Aunt Yaxiu, someone snatched my slingshot"!
"This kid"! Lin Qingqing was stunned. She didn't expect that this little guy, who was only six or seven years old, would sue her as soon as he entered the door.
She really underestimated the children nowadays, and Lin Qingqing was a little helpless.
"Yong Wazi, are you being naughty again?"
Then a young woman wearing overalls came out of the house. She pinched the little fat man's chubby face, with a hint of smile in her hoarse voice.
After saying that, she looked up and saw Lin Qingqing standing at the door.
She raised her eyebrows in surprise, and the woman patted the little fat man on the back of his head and said, "Yong Wazi, you go and play, my aunt has business."
Someone supported him, and the little fat man immediately grinned. Then he made a face at Lin Qingqing and ran away in a hurry.
With no one else around, the two women just looked at each other, and neither of them spoke for a while.
This woman looks to be in her twenties, with smooth honey-colored skin, long dark hair neatly braided and tied back, and two large silver round earrings hanging from her ears. He has handsome eyebrows, a pointed nose, and plump lips. He stands there with his arms folded casually and his posture is lazy.
She held a slender silver pipe in her mouth, and she was blowing out smoke rings and looking at herself with a half-smile.
"It's fun to entertain children"?
"I didn't grab his slingshot," Lin Qingqing shrugged.
"Are you interested in that slingshot?"
"No, I'm interested in people who make slingshots."
"Oh? You have good taste!"
The woman chuckled and seemed to be in a good mood.
"It seems I found the right person. You are the one who made the slingshot," Lin Qingqing said with certainty.
"Yes, my surname is Yin, Yin Yaxiu, I am a blacksmith, you just came from outside"?
"Yes, I just came here today. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Qingqing, the captain of Qingmang Team."
"Are you a superpower"?
"Ice superpower".
"Ice type? It's quite rare"! Yin Yaxiu was a little surprised, and then looked at Lin Qingqing carefully again.
"What do you want from me?"
"what can you do"? Lin Qingqing was very interested in her, but she didn't believe that this woman was just a simple blacksmith.
Yin Yaxiu was silent for a moment when she heard this, then she took out her pipe, smoked it, and said to Lin Qingqing, "Come in first." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the back room.
Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows, then raised her heels.
