"Of course, Captain Lin, if you think about it, you can go directly to Ming Nian if you have any trouble," Tang Mingyi said generously.
Most of the superpowers in the base already have camps. If it weren't for the Zhao family, the new Qingmang team would definitely be the hot spot that everyone is fighting for. With such a good opportunity in front of him, Tang Mingyi was bound to get it.
At this time, the middle-aged aunt who had just brought tea came over softly and whispered: "Third Young Master, lunch is ready. Look..."
"Then let's set the food."
Tang Mingyi stood up and said to Lin Qingqing: "Captain Lin, please, you're welcome."
While others were still eating dry food and nibbling white cakes, the Tang family's lunch still maintained the normal standard of six dishes and one soup. There were even seasonal fruits and desserts after the meal.
Lin Qingqing calmly had a meal with the three of them, which was considered a great time for the guests and the host.
Unfortunately, when she went back, she happened to meet the Zhao family who came to see Zhao Shen.
"Is it you? Why are you here?" The visitor's eyes widened when he saw Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing also recognized the other party. She was the woman who accused Liu Hong with Zhao Shen at the Superpower Guild on the day they returned to the base.
Seeing how familiar Lin Qingqing was with the Tang family, the woman suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Are you here to see Zhao Shen?"
At this time, Tang Mingnian, who came to see Lin Qingqing off, stepped forward and said lazily, "He is not in the Tang family."
"Then Master Six knows where he went?" The woman's heart skipped a beat.
"I don't know," Tang Mingnian shrugged, "I left before noon. I originally wanted to keep him to have dinner with me, but unfortunately, he ran away in fear as soon as he saw Captain Lin."
"Impossible! How could he... be you?" After hearing this, the woman almost lost her breath when she realized what she was saying.
Lin Qingqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Tang Mingnian. This man's ability to tell lies was no worse than Tang Mingyi's.
The woman didn't believe it at all, but she couldn't really go to the Tang family to search, so she could only swallow her anger and return to the Zhao family and mobilize everyone to search.
Back home, as soon as Lin Qingqing entered the door, she saw the luggage already packed in the yard.
"What are you doing?" she asked with a frown.
"Aren't we going to run away?" Qu Xingchi loaded his things into the car, then stuck his head out and said.
"Who told you we were leaving?"
"Didn't we kill Zhao Shen? Don't the Zhao family pursue the case?" He looked shocked.
"No need," Lin Qingqing said lightly, "The Tang family will help us settle this matter."
Tang family?
Her words stunned everyone. Why would the Tang family take over this matter? Even if he is forced to side with them because of Zhao Shen's matter, it will only be temporary. According to the relationship between the two families, if they want to resolve the conflict, the Tang family can only do something good, and there is no need to help the Qingmang team.
"You made a deal with the Tang family?" At this time, Lei Min walked out of the house.
"Yes, I promised Tang Mingyi that I would join the Tang family after this matter settles down."
"What? Join the Tang family? I don't agree, we can't join the Tang family!" Lei Min objected.
"If you don't join the Tang family, then where do you want to go?"
"We're not going anywhere, we are who we are, and Team Qingmang is free." Lei Min refused to give in.
"Naive!" Lin Qingqing snorted coldly: "Look at which large bases are not divided by various forces now. If you want to be alone, you have to see if there is a chance!"
"No matter what, we cannot join those forces," Lei Min took a deep breath and said, "Don't forget, in addition to being the Qingmang Team, we are also YR-109!"
Joining the official special team is not allowed to join private forces. The reason why they chose the official team in the first place was because she wanted to maintain the purity and independence of the Qingmang team and did not want to be influenced by major forces.
"Then quit!" Lin Qingqing said without hesitation.
"You don't know that once you quit, the official will never hire you again."
"So what, will you have a better future by following the official?"
In addition to regular supplies and some welfare policies, the official did not provide them with any help, let alone compulsory participation in missions every month.
Just like this conflict with the Zhao and Tang families, the officials will not care about it at all. If they hadn't been lucky and had some strength, how could they have survived until now?
"You are cutting off the Qingmang team's retreat!" Lei Min was completely angry.
"The only way to retreat is to continue to bear the name YR-109!" Lin Qingqing felt that her other self was too weak and too pedantic, and the people she brought out were also extremely pedantic.
"Don't you understand yet? In this era where strength is valued, only strength and power are the greatest guarantees for continued survival. What's the point of insisting on those inexplicable things?"
In her opinion, those who have a grudge against her and pose a threat to her should be nipped in the bud and killed quickly.
"If the bottom line and persistence are meaningless, then what is?" Lei Min glared at Lin Qingqing, wondering how the captain could have such a cold and unreasonable personality.
"Then what do you call benevolence, morality, and even freedom? Can they bring food? Can they make us stronger?"
Lin Qingqing also didn't understand very much. How did the other self lead this group of people to survive until now?
Hearing what she said, Lei Min suddenly felt extremely tired, and the fire in her heart surged upwards. If she hadn't been unable to defeat him, she would have rushed forward.
"I can't tell you clearly. Anyway, I don't agree!" She sat down on the ground and said angrily.
"What about you? You don't agree?" Lin Qingqing glanced around coldly, but everyone else fell silent.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Lin Qingqing's face completely darkened.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't agree. I'm the captain. Why do I ask for your opinion?"
Lin Qingqing turned around and left. No matter what, she decided to join the Tang family.
"Wait!" Lei Min called her from behind and said, "Although you are the captain, I am also the vice-captain. I will not allow you to sell the entire team to the Tang family."
"Sold to the Tang family?"
Lin Qingqing suddenly turned her head, and ice mist suddenly overflowed with her words, condensing into ice blades in mid-air.
"Say it again?"
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? You went against our original wishes and joined the Tang family's camp. Isn't this selling yourself?" Lei Min swallowed and said loudly.
Facing her questioning, Lin Qingqing's face became increasingly ugly.
——What good thing does the other self have that allows them to protect it like this?
Seeing her cannibalistic expression, Lei Min gritted his teeth and continued: "We clearly saved the Tang family before, but did the Tang family say a word of thanks? I guess except for the sixth young master yesterday, they You’ve never mentioned it!”
"Do you want to join the Tang family like this?"
"If you look at the Tang family's behavior recently, from Tang Mingyi to Tang Mingnian, and then to Tang You, there is no one who can save money. For profit, they can sell everything, including partners, subordinates, and family members."
"Such a person, what will happen if you follow them?"
Lei Min persuaded her earnestly, but Lin Qingqing showed no sign of wavering.
"Hmph~ This is the end of the world. Don't you know how to write the word "the weak and the strong"?
"So you are willing to be used by the Tang family?"
"Using is mutual. Only when it is valuable can we use it."
Lin Qingqing turned around and was about to retract the ice blade when Lei Min suddenly swung his thunder whip towards her.
"Don't go, Qingmang Team belongs to everyone, you can't have your own way!"
The flashing thunder whip struck with a "pop" sound.
On the ground behind Lin Qingqing.
She turned around and looked at Lei Min with cold eyes, and then her supernatural power suddenly spurted out, attacking Lei Min without any hesitation.
The two started fighting in the yard.
Lin Qingqing originally didn't want to kill him, but there was a big difference in level between Lei Min and her, so she almost used all her strength to stop him.
Ice fog filled the air, thunder and lightning struck, and the fight between the two became more intense. From a distance, the entire courtyard was shrouded in clouds.
Qu Xingchi and Yin Yaxiu quickly pulled Cheng Xiaohe and Wen Ling into the house and hid. The battle between two mutants was too terrifying, and it was not something they could participate in at all.
"What should I do? Will they be injured?" Qu Xingchi looked out the window worriedly, but unfortunately he could only see two looming figures shaking.
"They are already injured!" Wen Ling took Yin Yaxiu's hand and said, "It feels like the captain and Minmin are going to kill them this time!"
She was right to worry. Lei Min had indeed been injured. When she saw the bleeding wound on her arm, an unknown anger arose in her heart.
At the same time, the voice that did not usually appear often began to talk in her mind frequently.
[Lin Qingqing has already hurt you, why are you still hesitating? Go ahead, kill her with your superpower. She betrayed the entire team. As long as you kill her, you can become the captain yourself. Doesn't this solve all the problems? 】
"Go away - shut up!"
Lei Min shouted angrily in her heart. If the person standing opposite was the original Lin Qingqing, she might still be encouraged by this voice. But now she knew very well that the other party was not the captain that she both admired and envied.
"Don't try to fool me. I promised the captain to stop her until she comes back!"
Lei Min untied the lightning net that was originally in front of her, spread it out without hesitation, and surrounded Lin Qingqing.
Although her level is low, the thunder element has such super destructive power that even the ice mist cannot completely block the attack of the thunder net.
The weakened Thunder Net still carried unparalleled momentum. Seeing that it was about to touch her body, Lin Qingqing became cruel, and a blue ink-like ice mist emerged, directly covering the Thunder Net and Lei Min. .
