Hearing that Xiao Sheng was Tang Li's confidant, he arranged for the two of them to rest together, and also found a doctor to check their health.
Fortunately, the two of them were only overdrawn in their abilities and had no other injuries.
After everything was arranged, it was already dawn outside. Chen Dong rubbed his eyebrows, and then said to Lin Qingqing: "This matter is really unexpected. There are still some situations that are not certain. Thank you, Captain Lin, come first." Hand over the task and go to rest."
"It should be," Lin Qingqing nodded.
After letting Yin Yaxiu and Qu Xingchi drive back first, Lin Qingqing brought Lei Min and Wen Ling to the Superpowers Guild.
After taking a sip of hot tea, Chen Dong began to ask about the mission.
There is nothing much to say in front of them. Except for concealing the part where they deliberately separated from the team on the way back, the rest is exactly the same as what the people who came back before said.
Tang Li's superpower was exposed, so it was logical for Lin Qingqing to say that she saved the person accidentally.
In short, her rhetoric can be summed up in two words: lucky!
However, Chen Dong was not that easy to fool. He asked many details over and over again until he asked about saving Xiao Sheng. This time Lin Qingqing did not hide it anymore and told Lei Min about advancing to the third level.
This time, it really succeeded in diverting Chen Dong's attention.
"I didn't expect that in just a few days, Captain Lin's team members would advance one after another!"
"They have already met the advancement requirements, but they have never had a suitable environment before. Now they have finally settled down in Rongcheng Base, so advancement is natural."
"Captain Lin is so humble!"
After this interruption, Chen Dong did not continue to ask. He knew that if Captain Lin was unwilling to tell, he would not be able to find out anything. Moreover, they had already accomplished a great feat by bringing back that important person.
As for the others, under the background of the Qingmang team, those injuries turned into signs of incompetence.
However, since this mission was sent in the name of Xiangcheng Base, of course the losses of their Rongcheng Base must be carefully calculated by Xiangcheng Base. The death of more than 60 superpowers is not a small number. What's more, there are third-level superpowers inside.
After explaining the mission, Lin Qingqing and Lei Min returned to their residence with the newly replaced team information cards. The Qingmang team has since been upgraded to a third-level two-star team.
For them, this matter has come to an end, but for the two bases in Rongcheng and Xiangcheng, the lawsuit may have just begun.
Xiangcheng, Tang family villa.
"Liao Shijie, this idiot, really succeeds more than fails. He brought so many people with him but he still hasn't completed the mission!"
The person who said this was a middle-aged man. His voice was not high, but everyone else knew that this man was really angry.
The people around him looked at each other, not knowing how to answer the question for a moment.
In this depressing atmosphere, a sweet female voice suddenly sounded, breaking the stiff situation.
"Third brother, please calm down, Liao Shijie is indeed stupid, but as long as A Ying is around, I believe that boy Tang Li will not dare to mess around."
Apart from the ones above, this sister is probably the only one in the entire Tang family who dares to speak at this time.
"Lao Qi is still at the Rongcheng base now?" After hearing her words, the middle-aged man softened his tone.
This morning they learned from the Rongcheng base that the team escorting Tang Li had been wiped out. The compensation for the losses of the Rongcheng base was extremely small. The exposure of Tang Li's superpowers was what troubled him the most.
"There's no one around him, so where else can he go? Sister doesn't think so.
"Everyone is dead, but he's still alive."
The middle-aged man took a sip of tea and said in a complicated tone.
"Mingsi, you take a team of people to Rongcheng Base to see him off. You must send Lao Qi to the No. 3 Experimental Base as soon as possible!"
"yes……"
But she didn't dare not listen to this. The third brother Tang Mingyi was a person in the Tang family who was even more afraid to mess with than the eldest brother. Everyone was afraid of him.
, even his father wanted to give him three points.
And she herself only dared to speak like this in front of him because of her childhood affection.
"Third brother, if I just go like this, wouldn't everyone know...?" Tang Mingsi asked cautiously.
"Hmph, now that the Rongcheng base knows about it, do you think we can continue to cover it up?"
"That……"
"Since I can't cover it up anymore, I'd better keep a high profile and let everyone know that Lao Qi belongs to the Tang family."
"I see!"
Tang Mingsi nodded and instantly understood what Tang Mingyi meant. Originally, they planned to secretly send Tang Li to the research institute, so that the Tang family could monopolize the research results.
But now that his superpower has been unfortunately exposed, the Tang family will no longer have the opportunity to live alone, so they have to show it to others in a high profile.
Fortunately, Tang Li is still a member of the Tang family. As long as he has this status, no one can take away the Tang family's right to get the biggest share of the cake.
Tang Ming agreed that she understood and nodded with satisfaction. This sister is a smart person. Since she is a smart person, he doesn't mind giving her more resources and opportunities.
At this moment, Tang Li didn't know that he would soon become the headline figure in major bases. The reason why he agreed to the Tang family to go to the experimental base to be a guinea pig was, firstly, for Ah Ying, and secondly, he wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of this evil in him. The most unique passive skill to attract zombies.
Furthermore, if those people could really get some results from him in dealing with zombies, then he wouldn't mind being a guinea pig for a while.
"Haha, I wonder if that woman would regret rejecting the Tang family's favor if she knew that she was just a guinea pig wearing the Tang family's name tag." Tang Li thought mockingly to himself.
However, he didn't understand Lin Qingqing. In fact, if Lin Qingqing knew his situation, she would probably be even more resistant to having anything to do with the Tang family. She is an insulator from trouble, and she absolutely does not want to get involved in these complicated upper-class relationships.
Tang Li thought about the two promises he made. Although one of them had been redeemed, in his eyes, those few problems were not enough to offset the need to save his life. He still owed Lin Qingqing his life.
"If there is another chance in the future..." He must return this favor.
Tang Li clenched his fists. He had just been informed that the Tang family had sent people to the Rongcheng base. He felt very ironic when he thought that it was his sister who sent him to the laboratory.
————
In the dormitory, Lin Qingqing had already told everyone about the process of rescuing Tang Li.
"This mission is over. We won't be assigned any new mandatory missions for at least a month. Do you have any plans next?"
"I just reached the third level, I don't think I will have another breakthrough in the short term." Lei Min said with a yawn.
"I want to practice marksmanship!" Wen Ling raised her hand.
"I have just been upgraded, and the RV has been modified." Yin Yaxiu smoked her pipe lazily, feeling as if she had finally finished working overtime.
"I...how about I upgrade my abilities as well."
Finally, Qu Xingchi thought about it and found that he had nothing else to do except this.
"Don't you all have any hobbies for leisure and entertainment?" Lin Qingqing looked at everyone in confusion and asked.
She is not a harsh captain, so why are all the team members living like ascetics?
"Because I can't afford entertainment!" Lei Min shrugged.
What kind of entertainment can be found in the apocalypse? Forget about surfing the Internet, singing karaoke, playing games, or watching movies. Smoking and alcohol are even rarer items.
Nowadays, the cheapest pastimes are nothing more than two. One is playing cards and gambling. This kind of activity can be seen everywhere. Even the Rongcheng base has several underground casinos.
Everyone bets on everything, bets on crystal cores, bets on materials, bets on luck, and bet on human lives. There is even a popular saying in the Rongcheng base: There is nothing that cannot be solved by a gamble. If there is, then let's have another big gamble!
The pressure of survival and the fear of zombies have made gambling the most popular choice after the apocalypse.
Great spiritual pastime. At the same time, it is also an important means to effectively resolve various disputes.
Apart from gambling, the only thing left is needless to say, flesh and blood business. There are both men and women here, and most of those who don't have the ability to obtain supplies will fall to this point if they want to survive.
There will be no beggars in the last days, because there will be no extra supplies or money to give alms.
Moreover, the jobs available in the base are very limited, and most of them are manual and manual production work. Even if you are lucky enough to get such a job, you can only make enough food and clothing if you work hard.
Therefore, people without strength and skills can only survive by selling their bodies.
The above are turning a blind eye to this. Even if they want to take care of it, they are probably powerless and can only watch and prevent people from dying.
Don’t blame Lei Min for not being able to afford entertainment!
These things were all found out by Lei Min and Qu Xingchi when they first entered the base.
Rongcheng Base looks peaceful and quiet on the surface, but privately there is darkness that cannot be taken into account.
As a superpower team under preparation, they are already considered to be the group of people living on the upper level of the pyramid. If they are willing to look down, they are definitely the type that most people are rushing to curry favor with.
Lin Qingqing looked at Lei Min's disdainful expression with some amusement, and couldn't help asking: "Don't you all find it boring?"
"What about you, captain? Do you think it's boring to practice your powers every day?"
"Me?" Hearing Wen Ling's question, Lin Qingqing thought seriously and said, "I'm okay!"
She really doesn't have any special hobbies. In the past, she mostly read books and watched movies in her free time. After the apocalypse, these little hobbies have become useless and have no use at all.
"Captain, if you have nothing else to do, please accompany me to the black market. I want to go shopping for some materials."
At this time, Yin Yaxiu spoke. The modification of the RV had consumed a lot of her inventory, and since arriving at the Rongcheng base, she had not found time to take a walk.
"Okay, since everyone has nothing urgent, let's go together!" Lin Qingqing said in agreement.
She also wanted to see what good things could be found in the underground black market at the Rongcheng base.
