Because she had to wait for Lei Min, Lin Qingqing decided to rest in Chongshan City for one night and return to the base with everyone the next day.
At night, after everyone had rested, Lin Qingqing found Jiang Ningjun.
——It’s so late, captain can’t sleep and wants to chat with me?
When the two of them were talking alone, Jiang Ningjun used this method of conveying consciousness, and Lin Qingqing was used to it. She nodded and sat down opposite her.
——Do you know anything else about the Zombie King?
The more Lin Qingqing thought about what happened during the day, the more wrong she became, so she decided to come to Jiang Ningjun to ask for clarification.
--oh? What should I know?
Facing Lin Qingqing's questioning, Jiang Ningjun was not nervous at all.
——Crystal Nucleus! You already knew that the Zombie King has two crystal cores.
Lin Qingqing had no intention of beating around the bush with her, and went straight to the point to break her thoughts.
——You asked me to put away the crystal core in advance because you wanted to secretly keep another crystal core, right?
——That's right, the captain wanted to hand over both crystal cores out of a righteous heart. I was selfish, so I wanted to keep one.
Jiang Ningjun readily admitted her feelings, but Lin Qingqing would not let her go so easily.
——You are not a gold-type person, so why do you need that gold-type crystal core?
Lin Qingqing didn't understand that Jiang Ningjun was not greedy for money, and the gold crystal core Zhuge Qian left in his head was nothing special...
——Do you want that special twelve-sided crystal core?
Jiang Ningjun didn't expect Lin Qingqing to think of the key so quickly. She looked at him with complicated eyes and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. As her own protective umbrella, she certainly hopes that Lin Qingqing will be as rational and intelligent as possible, but the other party is too smart, and she sometimes feels very distressed.
——So, what is so special about that crystal core that you want to get it even though you have calculated on me?
Seeing that Jiang Ningjun didn't speak for a long time, Lin Qingqing realized that she had guessed correctly. Although she didn't know what reason Jiang Ningjun was going to use to convince her to keep that crystal core, it now seemed that the value of that special crystal core should be higher than she thought. is even higher.
Alas~ Jiang Ningjun sighed silently, that's all she had to say. She knew that Lin Qingqing would not give up if she couldn't get the answer today.
——The Zombie King is special, you should feel this, and what makes them special is precisely because they have this crystal core.
Lin Qingqing was startled by Jiang Ningjun's words. She carefully considered every word she said twice before asking.
——You mean that this special crystal core is not their own?
——Obviously, it is impossible for a zombie to have two crystal nuclei or two attributes, unless there is external intervention.
——An alien civilization?
——I can’t think of anyone else but them.
After studying zombies for so long, it is not difficult to come to such a conclusion. Not only Jiang Ningjun, it is estimated that the Chinese Academy of Sciences will also put forward this point of view soon after getting the corpse and crystal core of the zombie king.
——Then what are you going to do with this crystal core? .
After saying so much, Lin Qingqing still didn't understand Jiang Ningjun's purpose.
——I want to try to see if I can create a new zombie king.
Create... a zombie king?
Lin Qingqing looked at Jiang Ningjun in surprise, and then a look of understanding appeared on her face.
Since zombie kings may all be created, then with this crystal core, maybe humans can also create zombie kings.
If someone else said this, Lin Qingqing might not believe it, but the other person was Jiang Ningjun, a former genius researcher and the mentor of Wang Qiming, the number one traitor in mankind.
——Why do you want to create... a zombie king?
Lin Qingqing looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze and thought to herself: Could it be that she, like Wang Qiming, is also a person who will do whatever it takes to do research?
——Don’t you want to know about the Zombie King and the alien civilization behind them?
? If you master a zombie king, maybe everything behind it will be clear.
Jiang Ningjun folded her arms and smiled at Lin Qingqing. I have to say that her idea was very surprising and very exciting.
It's just that Jiang Ningjun wants to secretly keep the crystal core and is obviously planning to do it himself, and it seems that he has no intention of cooperating with the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
——I have promised to hand over the crystal core before.
——So the captain is righteous.
Jiang Ningjun shrugged, seemingly praising her, but Lin Qingqing could still clearly feel the disappointment and unhappiness in her heart.
Because of her status, the Huaguo Academy of Sciences has always been somewhat wary of Jiang Ningjun, and it is even more impossible for her to participate in those extremely important researches. Lin Qingqing understood Jiang Ningjun's approach, but considering the overall situation, she still couldn't agree to her request.
The atmosphere became a little tense for a while. Both of them were extremely smart people, and they both understood what the other was thinking, and precisely because of this, neither of them blamed the other.
After a moment of silence, Lin Qingqing stood up and left.
——Go to rest early, even if you are just pretending to be there when outsiders are around.
Looking at Lin Qingqing's tall and thin back, Jiang Ningjun pursed her lips and said nothing. After a moment, she returned to her body and extinguished the small bedside lamp.
After leaving Jiang Ningjun's room, Lin Qingqing did not go back immediately. Instead, she walked to a moonlit corner of the yard and stood still.
Lin Qingqing knew that she still didn't trust Jiang Ningjun enough, not only because of her identity, but more importantly, this woman's thoughts were too deep and it was too difficult to see through. Since the two of them met, they haven't had much contact, but she has often plotted against herself. Although these plots have not caused any losses to her, and she has seen through them one by one in the end, they are still very uncomfortable.
No one likes to be plotted against, especially his teammates. Although this teammate also climbed up the pole to stick up, Lin Qingqing still regards her as one of her own.
Since they entered the White Tiger Legion, many people have openly and secretly expressed their intention to join the Qingmang Team, including many excellent superpowers, and even a few recommended by General Luo and others.
However, Lin Qingqing rejected them all, not because she looked down on those people, but because of trust. In the end of the world, it is too difficult to absolutely trust someone. Everyone in the Qingmang team has also experienced several life and death tests. trust and cohesion now.
After several rejections, everyone saw that Lin Qingqing really did not intend to recruit new people, so they gradually gave up the idea.
Jiang Ningjun is the tenth member of the Qingmang team, and will most likely be the last one. But now Jiang Ningjun is a very embarrassing existence for them. Her joining was unexpected by Lin Qingqing, but she couldn't refuse. Originally, she thought of giving her identity and leaving it to the Academy of Sciences, but now it seems that Jiang Ningjun Life at the Academy of Sciences was not satisfactory, and he couldn't really leave her alone.
——Oh, this is really a trouble that cannot be stopped from falling from the sky.
Lin Qingqing sighed slightly.
However, now that she has accepted Jiang Ningjun as a teammate, she cannot regret it. Captain Lin is a protective captain. As long as the team members do not betray everyone, she will treat them equally.
As soon as Tang Li and several team members walked into the yard, they saw Lin Qingqing standing alone in the corner, frowning and thinking about something.
"Captain Lin, why are you here?"
"Tang Li? Are you going on patrol?"
Lin Qingqing came back to her senses and understood what the other party was going to do when she saw the neatly armed bodies of several people.
"No, we just came back and are getting ready to hand over the shift."
Tang Li nodded and was thinking about what to say, when Jiang Xingzhou behind him suddenly said: "Since the captain has something to ask Captain Lin, I can just go and take over the shift, and the others can go back and rest."
After saying that, without waiting for Tang Li's reply, he nodded to Lin Qingqing and pulled his teammates away.
"Captain Tang, do you want to see me?"
"Uh~ It's...something happened."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Lin Qingqing originally thought that Jiang Xingzhou was just making excuses for Tang Li, but who knew that he actually had something to say.
"There may be something Captain Lin doesn't know about the other zombie king. In fact, I know her. She is my second sister Tang ***."
"Your second sister? Isn't her name Yana?"
Lin Qingqing learned from Zhuge Qian that the zombie king who went to assassinate Tang Li was a woman named Yana. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be Tang Li's second sister!
"Yana is her other name. She is the Water Zombie King, and she is the woman who took away the Fire Zombie King's head when you met outside Nanling City last time."
When she heard the word "water element", Lin Qingqing had already guessed who she was. It was indeed the woman in red who killed Yang Ying!
After the shock, Lin Qingqing couldn't help but think to herself when looking at Tang Li: Could it be that Tang Li didn't kill him because Tang Li was her brother? He also revealed Zhuge Qian's information to him.
Seeing Lin Qingqing looking at him thoughtfully, Tang Li guessed what she was thinking.
"Captain Lin misunderstood. This time she made a deal with me because I threatened her because she betrayed Zhuge Qian's information last time.
In order to dispel Lin Qingqing's doubts, Tang Li told her all the details of the transaction between himself and Mr. Tang.
There was nothing to hide about this matter, but as she listened, Lin Qingqing's eyes gradually became uncomfortable when she looked at Tang Li.
"Did you hear Tang *** say that Zhuge Qian was coming to kill me, so you made a deal with her?"
Tang Li didn't expect Lin Qingqing to notice this small detail. He hesitated for a while but finally did not deny it.
"Huh? Well...well...that's right, but not entirely. I think Zhuge Qian is a bigger threat than her, and she used to be my second sister, so I understand her..."
Tang Li tried his best to explain.
"Thank you!"
Lin Qingqing chuckled, and then she suddenly changed the subject, "Did you have a good relationship with Tang *** before?"
"Well, it's not bad. When I first returned to the Tang family, she helped me a few times in private. Except for Ming Nian, she still has a normal relationship with me in the Tang family."
Tang Li didn't understand why Lin Qingqing asked this. He just thought that she was interested in Mr. Tang, so he picked a few more things to talk about Mr. Tang.
Lin Qingqing listened quietly, and it could be seen that Tang Li liked this second sister very much before, and had been looking for her for a long time after the apocalypse. Tang Li was also one of the rare smart people in the Tang family who was relatively normal.
It's a pity that this outstanding eldest lady of the Tang family turned into a zombie, and eventually became the zombie king.
"I know you miss her very much, but she is now the zombie king, and I will never let her go, even if you stop her."
Lin Qingqing looked at Tang Li and said seriously.
Yang Ying died to save her. At that time, Lin Qingqing swore while holding Yang Ying's body that she would personally kill the water zombie king in red to avenge her.
Tang Li didn't expect that Lin Qingqing asked Tang *** about killing her. Seeing her serious look, Tang Li said with a smile: "I know, I never thought of protecting her, I just... Ha, Captain Lin Don’t worry, I know everything.”
"Feel sorry."
Lin Qingqing pursed her lips. She didn't know why she wanted to apologize, but she subconsciously wanted to say these two words.
"Why should Captain Lin apologize to me? She is the zombie king and an enemy of mankind. If it were me, I would kill her."
Tang Li said firmly that as far as he was concerned, the second sister was dead, and the current Tang Li was just one of the zombie kings, nothing more.
