Volume 2 Chapter 73 Taking Root in Jing Du

<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>

The group of zombies was provoked. They came from all directions and tried to surround the group of superhumans that appeared to be particularly invisible amongst the group of zombies. 

Shao Qing saw the group of zombies from afar, calculated it, and figured it out. As long as they finish off this wave of zombies, the contribution value should be almost complete.

Shao Qing didn’t say anything, she flicked the flare and was ready to call the remaining people over. It would be easier to handle.

But seeing that the superhuman squad was about to be drowned in the sea of ​​zombies, Shao Qing couldn’t stand by and just watch while waiting for Yan Hanqing and the rest to come over. 

So Shao Qing took the first shot. She found a balcony on the second floor and climbed up. After occupying the high ground, her hands waved and vines quickly flew out. 

The vines looked as powerful as the ones used in movies. It encircled the waists of those superhumans being drowned in the sea of ​​zombies and dragged them back. 

Those superhumans were full of despair and were ready for death. Their eyes were closed, but they didn’t feel the pain of being torn apart. 

When they opened their eyes again, they saw a woman carrying a child in front of them. The woman was expressionless. She withdrew the vines, then jumped off the balcony before they had responded.

Then they reacted. Did they just get saved? 

After Shao Qing rescued the squad of superhumans, she reunited back with her friends. Er Dai jumped into the group of zombies without any care, attacking the high level zombies. Shao Qing followed up without hesitation. 

She needed to protect Xiao Baozi and Shao Tong. 

Shao Tong released a mental power barrier and followed behind Shao Qing. The barrier shrouded Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue. No zombies could break her barrier. 

With those two people, one in front with the vines and one in control of the air, it did not take long to harvest the zombies. Soon, Yan Hanqing received the news and also arrived. Coming from another direction, they surrounded the zombies and began the clean up. 

This is what their teamwork looked like. Gu Chuan was responsible for freezing, not to kill the zombies, but to stop any movement for a period of time. Then Gu Panpan, the diamond Barbie, would break the ice sculptures with her hands. (Editor: I LOVE GU CHUAN JUSTICE FOR GU CHUAN GU CHUAN DESERVES BETTER)

Gu Chuan used ice with his left-hand and water with his right. As soon as a water dragon was sent out, Yan Hanqing’s thunderbolt would immediately follow up. After all, water can conduct electricity, so the zombies fell down instantly which looked even more spectacular than Shao Qing’s side. 

The group of spectators standing on the balcony: …

They had been chased by the zombies with nowhere to go and could only wait for death. But when this group of zombies met Shao Qing’s group, they could not resist at all. 

There were a thousand or at least eight hundred zombies, being tortured like dead dogs by a squad of superhumans. 

No wonder they can only be the lowest-level superhuman squad. 

Half an hour later, Gu Panpan and her buddies swept through the battlefield. Cleaning up after the battlefield was the most irritating job because the zombies were everywhere and they had to open their heads and take out the crystal nuclei. 

By the end, Gu Panpan wouldn’t even take a glance at the zombies with the lower ranks. They would at least have to be a rank 2 for her to pull out the crystal core.

After taking out the crystals, Shao Qing led the group to leave. At this time, the rescued superhuman squad remembered that they had not thanked Shao Qing yet… 

Shao Qing was already taking her group back. Their contribution value should be close now.  Cleaning up some zombies on the way back should make it just enough. 

This time, if the base still made excuses, she would just leave. The worst case, she would just be  a temporary resident in Jing Du and Jing Du would not drive them away anyways.

It’s just a household registration, and it didn’t mean too much. At most, every time they left Jing Du and returned, the review process would be a little more troublesome, that’s all. 

The staff expressed shock at Shao Qing returning so quickly. She was very aware of how many zombies the contribution value represented. Many people who tried to transfer their household registration would be frightened by the contribution value. 

Yet Shao Qing, how long did she leave? Certainly not enough to get the contribution value! 

Then Shao Qing clapped her hands. Gu Panpan came back with a massive sack and untied the sack and poured out a bunch of crystal nuclei. 

How many crystal nuclei can be packed in four or five sacks? Anyways, a hill had been piled up on the ground and those who were doing other things around them were also stunned. They all turned their heads to stare at Shao Qing’s side with their chins dropped. 

How many crystal nuclei is this? How many zombies must be killed! 

“Count it.” Shao Qing found a chair and sat down, then lifted her chin lazily: “If it’s not enough, I still have more.” 

The staff was silent for a long time before yelling for a few others to come over and count together. Just counting the crystal nuclei, they had already counted for almost an hour, everyone had backaches and twitching cramps.

At the last few, the staff turned stiff. This was because the crystal nuclei in front of them not only met the previous contribution value requirements, but also far exceeded the requirements. 

This has never happened before and she didn’t know what to do next. 

“Since the contribution value is enough, then help us cancel the household registration.” Shao Qing said lightly. 

The sister retracted her claws, she couldn’t ask her boss. After hesitating for a long time, she started to cancel the household registration for the group of them. 

Shao Qing waved her hands again and the crystal nuclei were packed up. Shao Qing, who got her freedom back, felt that the air was much fresher. 

She stretched her waist and took her group back to pack things, and to pick up Fu Jingmo along the way. 

When she stepped out of the gate of the base, Shao Qing felt a bit absent-minded. This was the first base she had lived in. Here, she once had a home.

But now, not only did she abandon this home, she was going elsewhere to restart. 

Along the way, Fu Jingmo was quite silent. But his hands and feet were very nimble. He often helped Yan Hanqing cook and complete other chores. 

Even if Shao Qing didn’t like him, she must admit that Fu Jingmo’s work was done properly, at least people couldn’t find any mistakes. 

After leaving the base, Shao Qing rushed to Jing Du at full speed. They even arrived in Jing Du in half their usual time. 

Grandpa Qin sent someone to wait at the door of Jing Du early on. When Shao Qing arrived, the man ran back to report. 

Therefore, when Shao Qing and the others arrived at the gate of the Qin’s house, Grandpa Qin was already standing there waiting for them. He went up and hugged Xiao Baozi: “My baby, let Grandpa see. Have you lost weight in these two days?” 

Xiao Baozi bulged his cheeks: “I didn’t get skinny, grandpa, I got fat, look!” The old man was amused. Although he wanted Shao Qing to continue to live with the Qin family, he also knew that Shao Qing could not live with them all the time. So Father Qin said directly: “The house has been found for you. Do you want to eat first or go to see the house first?”

Shao Qing immediately said: “Go see the house first.” 

Grandpa Qin took Shao Qing personally to see the house. The place that Grandpa Qin had found was not far from the Qin’s house. It was only three or five minutes away. From the outside, it looked like a courtyard house. There was a flower garden and a small two-story building, it looked very nice. 

At least it suited Shao Qing’s taste. She looked around. The flower garden had some of the more common flowers. After eating, one could take a walk around the flower garden to relax. 

In the middle were three small buildings that looked like the word 品. The decorations were nice, the space was also nice, everything was quite good. After buying some new bedding, they could immediately settle in.

“It only costs one hundred and two crystal nuclei to buy.” Grandpa Qin stroked his beard, very complacent: “This is my old friend’s house and they have only lived here a few times, so everything is practically new.” 

Shao Qing gave the crystal nucleus to Grandpa Qin without saying a word and then said: “We’ve troubled you this time, when there’s time, I will invite you to dinner.”

“Let’s not wait, please invite me to dinner today.” Grandpa Qin blinked his eyes and was not modest at all.

Shao Qing laughed silently and then said: “Okay.” 

Naturally, moving to a new home should include a good celebration. Shao Qing took the people out to buy new bedding and bought some vegetables and fruits. They have decided to celebrate tonight. 

No matter what, they were moving to a new place and it is worth celebrating. 

That night, Yan Hanqing made a table full of dishes for Grandpa Qin to celebrate the move. Moving was a big deal, so when they celebrated, they couldn’t help but drink some alcohol until they were on the ground.

Shao Qing didn’t drink much, thus she was still awake and sat down with Grandpa Qin to speak. Grandpa Qin went straight to the point: “I sent a wave of people to observe the mad demon mercenary group. I found something. ” 

Shao Qing poured a glass of sobering tea for the old man and then asked,“ What did you find? ” 

Old Man Qin stood up and walked while speaking, “After the source of the smoke was known, I sent people to watch the Mad Demon mercenary group day and night, for fear of what they have been doing in violation of human morality. Then there came the news. They seem to have some intentions to make a move, preparing to make something.”

 Grandpa Qin looked unsightly: “I’m really worried that they will use living people …” 

Shao Qing knocked on the table and then said: “This matter needs to be observed again to be sure. I am most worried that they are already making other chemical weapons. ” 

“Let’s talk about it again after more observation.” Grandpa Qin sighed: “If it is found that the mad demon mercenary group is a malignant tumor, I will have to cut it off on the spot.” 

“I will pay attention too. I still feel that things cannot be so simple.” Shao Qing said very helplessly, not that she always had bad thoughts, she was just thinking why those people haven’t made a move yet. It’s better to be prepared. 

Especially since the mad demon squad still has a grudge against her and she is quite vengeful.

The vengeful Shao Qing touched her chin and was ready to pay attention to the movement of the mad demons at all times. After letting go of this topic, Shao Qing had a long chat with Grandpa Qin about Xiao Baozi’s daily activities. She also learnt that Qin Zixi went out to do a mission again. 

After all, Qin Zixi is still Qin family’s only seedling. He will definitely take over the power of the Qin family in the future. If he doesn’t have the skills to back it up, he wouldn’t be able to support the Qin family.

Talking up until here, Grandpa Qin was a bit melancholy. In his life, he had many ups and downs, and it should be counted as the joys of his life. His son was very filial and his grandson was obedient. Only one thing was stuck in his heart. 

That is, his son and grandson were like enemies all the time. But there are some things he just couldn’t say. He can’t blame his son or blame his grandson for not accepting his stepmother. 

The relationship between his son and grandson was becoming stiffer day by day. Grandpa Qin was worried and got gray hair early on. 

Normally, he wouldn’t tell Shao Qing about this, but after drinking a little alcohol today, he let it all out. He patted Shao Qing’s shoulder and sighed, “I’ve never seen Xiao Xi have such a good relationship with people. Ah Qing, if you have the opportunity, help me persuade him. A good father and son duo, how can they live like enemies?” 

“I’ll remember to.” Shao Qing helped send Grandpa Qin home. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief, then she went back to deal with the group at home.

The most drunk was Gu Panpan. The others didn’t drink much, but their alcohol tolerance was not good, so Er Dai and Yan Hanqing were the only ones still standing. 

Even Gu Chuan sat blankly on the sofa with no expression on his face, but there was a red cloud on his cheek. It looked like he was fine, but he was already drunk and couldn’t differentiate between North and South. 

In the end, Yan Hanqing took care of bringing Gu Chuan to his room. Because she was a minor, Shao Tong was not allowed to drink. She took care of Gu Panpan and Xiao Baozi was thrown to Er Dai. Shao Qing took Yan Qiyue upstairs.
