"This little brother is in an emergency at first glance. Since he is a soldier, why should he help others?"
"That's right, aren't you a special force of the White Tiger Legion? So you are just awesome helping someone save someone. Is it that difficult?"
"I remember, didn't the Qingmang team often help everyone with tasks before? Would it be great to join the White Tiger Legion? They even put on airs."
"Yes, I really don't know how the White Tiger Army recruits people?"
The Qingmang Squad has made its presence felt again and again, being ranked third on the list, and personally invited by the two legions. This behavior will naturally make a certain group of people dislike it, and even if they are not interested in the Qingmang Squad Most of the passers-by who expressed their opinions would not think about investigating the cause of the matter. They simply wanted to join in the fun.
Qu Xingchi also understood in his heart, but now he could not refute in the same way as before, because at this time he had already put on the two big name tags of "White Tiger Legion" and "Soldier", and he did not want to discredit these two names. , and cannot be discredited by others.
"You are so good! You actually forced me to do this, huh, just wait for me!" Qu Xingchi whispered to the man through gritted teeth.
As soon as Lin Qingqing got home, she saw Qu Xingchi squatting in the corner with his head drooped and a dejected expression. Wen Ling beside him was pointing at him and saying something indignantly, while the others frowned or remained silent. Step forward to dissuade.
"It's all your fault. Can't you just stay at home? Why are you wandering around?"
"I..." Is it wrong for me to even go shopping? Qu Xingchi shrank his neck, feeling even more aggrieved.
Wen Ling's angry voice reached Lin Qingqing's ears, making her confused.
"What's going on here?"
"Captain, you are finally back. Do you know what this kid did today?" Lei Min's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Lin Qingqing.
"What happened? Did he get into trouble?"
"There's no way...I've been tricked, I..."
Just as Qu Xingchi was about to speak, Lei Min glared back: "Don't interrupt, are you being tricked? That means our whole team has been tricked by you, okay?"
After Lei Min finished speaking, she rolled her eyes at him, and then she put her hands on her hips and told the whole story like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
"Hmph! That person is also very hateful. It would be fine if he comes to us openly and openly to ask for our help. He insists on creating public opinion and dragging our whole team down. That's fine. We can't do this if we don't help. Finally, I said Maybe I can’t even say a nice word, Captain, do you think this is irritating?”
"Hey? Captain, why didn't you react at all? Did you already know that?"
Lei Min wondered why Lin Qingqing wasn't angry. Anyone who encountered such a thing would feel a little uncomfortable.
"I didn't know that before, but it's really irritating."
Lin Qingqing nodded, her tone was still calm, and she didn't look angry at all. This made Lei Min wonder that she didn't take this matter to heart at all, and that she just said that to simply comfort everyone.
"Then what should we do now?"
"Since Xingchi has promised, let's go and help him find it. Xingchi, you ask that person to go to the Superpowers Guild to issue a mission, and say that our Qingmang team will be assigned to pick it up. Since you want to help, then we will I helped you openly."
After hearing Lin Qingqing finally speak, Qu Xingchi stood up from the corner.
"Thank you, captain, I'll tell you right away!"
With Lin Qingqing's support, he was no longer depressed and quickly ran to find someone to give him the task.
——The captain is right. If you want to help, just do it in an open and honest manner. I don’t believe that those weaklings have anything to say!
Qu Xingchi found the man and explained his purpose. The man was naturally unhappy when he heard that he had to issue a mission through the guild of superpowers before the other party would accept it. This was originally just a small thing to ask an acquaintance for help, but when the guild of superpowers was involved, didn't it become a pure transaction?
"This, this is not necessary, is it?"
"It's necessary! It's very necessary. This is what our captain said! Besides, you just know me, and I can't represent our Qingmang team. If you want to ask our entire team to take action, you have to follow the rules!"
Qu Xingchi wouldn't care so much. He grabbed the man's arm and walked out: "Hurry up, don't wait any longer, send the mission earlier, so we can set off earlier to rescue your people. If you are not in a hurry, I will be in a hurry." Woolen cloth!"
As soon as these words came out, the man had no choice but to compromise no matter how unwilling he was. Using the public opinion of the masses to put pressure on the Qingmang team was just a temporary measure. In essence, he did not dare to really offend the other party. After all, it was a seventh-level team. , the only existence of Anseong Base, even the base leaders have to give them some face.
Accompanied by Qu Xingchi, the man came to the Guild of Superpowers. When he got the task release agreement and saw the remuneration that needed to be paid, he couldn't help but his eyes darkened.
"Why do you need so many crystal nuclei?"
This number is enough for their team to complete several missions.
"What you are asking for is a seventh-level team. You don't know what the seventh-level team will pay for to issue a mission?" The receptionist looked at him speechlessly.
"Well, Brother Qu, look at...this crystal core..."
"Ah? What happened to the crystal core? You want me to give you a discount? Hey, no, no, this is not possible! How can we break the guild's rules? Besides, our Qingmang team is about to join the White Tiger Legion. This kind of You must not do anything that breaks the rules. The captain will definitely tell me if he finds out!" Qu Xingchi waved his hand and said righteously.
The receptionist on the side also nodded quickly when he heard this and said: "That's right, the Guild of Superpowers has no rules about discounting mission rewards. If you find it too expensive, you can also change to a lower-level team."
Discounts are absolutely impossible. If one crystal core is missing, the receptionist will have to pay for it.
When the two said this, the man suddenly had no reason to refute. With a grimace on his face, he gritted his teeth and paid a large deposit. Upon seeing this, the receptionist immediately took the crystal core with a smile and sent the task. go out.
"Okay, just wait at the base, and we'll find someone for you right now!"
Qu Xingchi accepted the mission on the spot and learned the general range of where this team might appear. The information the man said before was correct. The mission their team had received was indeed a hundred kilometers away from the Anseong base.
"I'll go with you!" the man said quickly after hearing this.
"what are you going to do?"
Qu Xingchi asked strangely, what could an early-stage fifth-level superpower do by following them?
"I can help too!"
"No, you can't help!"
Qu Xingchi shook his head and decisively rejected the man's request.
"Take me with you, I really want to help, and I am also a fifth-level superpower!"
"Then let me tell you the truth, you really can't help! Just stay in the base and don't run around!! We only have twenty days, and we don't have time to find someone else!"
After Qu Xingchi finished speaking, he didn't care what the man's expression was. He activated his powers and ran away, leaving the man standing there and staring.
After receiving the mission, Lin Qingqing and the Qingmang team immediately left the base. This time they did not drive a RV, but rented a modified bus from the base. With its own off-road capability, it could accommodate two teams.
The two cars headed west. Since they didn't know the specific address, they could only follow the route that Wen Ling had explored and start looking for people in circles. .
"Captain, there are indeed a lot of zombies outside recently." Lei Min pointed at the groups of low-level zombies in the distance and said.
The size of these corpse groups is not large, and there does not seem to be a leader. It is estimated that they were scattered and fled. If it had been before, they would have easily dealt with it, but now they were in a hurry to find someone, so they could only turn a blind eye to these zombies.
This search lasted six hours. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Qu Xingchi couldn't help but feel anxious: "What about the little bell? Haven't you found it yet?"
"No, there are only zombies around here, not a single living person.
See. "
"Is it possible that they have been killed?"
"It's possible."
If those people were still alive, they would definitely find a way to return to the base. However, they have now almost searched the area of more than 100 kilometers west of the Anseong base, but they did not find even a single figure.
"Captain, what should we do? Which direction are we looking for?" Although he was mentally prepared, he was still a little unwilling to find Qu Xingchi.
"Everyone, take a break and let me think about it."
Others were fine, but Wen Ling needed to rest, so everyone had no objection to this.
The car stopped by the side of the road, and everyone took this opportunity to eat something.
After a while, Lin Qingqing seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned to Cheng Xiaohe and said, "Old Cheng, I remember you were drawing the distribution map of the corpses just now, right?"
"Yeah, that's right. Captain, do you want to see it?"
Cheng Xiaohe said and handed a small notebook to Lin Qingqing.
Cheng Xiaohe drew the scattered small groups of corpses that everyone encountered along the way. He drew them in great detail. He even marked the approximate number, direction and range of the zombies one by one.
Lin Qingqing watched carefully and asked Cheng Xiaohe a few questions from time to time.
"Where exactly is this place?"
After studying for a while, Lin Qingqing pointed to the large area at the end of one of the corpse groups and said.
"Let me take a look, this should be... near Qingshan County."
Cheng Xiaohe took the detailed map and compared it with the simple map he drew before speaking with certainty.
"Qingshan County..."
This name seemed familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere after the end of the world.
"Qingshan County? Are you talking about Qingshan County?" At this time, Liu Dan suddenly intervened.
"Do you know Qingshan County?"
What Lin Qingqing asked was definitely not as simple as a geographical name, but Liu Dan still nodded and said: "I know, when I was still in the security team, I went to Qingshan County to do a mission. By the way, it was that time, we We were chased by level six zombies, but it was the captain and deputy captain Lei who came to save everyone."
After listening to Liu Dan's words, Lin Qingqing finally remembered it. No wonder she felt that the name Qingshan County looked familiar. It turned out that there was such a thing.
