Lin Qingqing found it a bit amusing. But seeing that the young soldier meant no harm, she raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm 28 this year. You should call me sister, you know."
"Huh?"
Looking at the young soldier's stunned expression, Lin Qingqing patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Keep it up, little brother!"
Then she waved her hand, turned around, and went to other places.
The young soldier was left standing there, scratching his head. "Impossible, right? She looks only in her early twenties. Could it be that superpower users all look younger?"
Distracted by this, he forgot his previous little thought.
Lin Qingqing didn't pay attention to the young soldier's confusion. The zombies in the three - story building had almost all been taken care of by several team members. If she wanted to kill zombies, she could only go to the backyard.
The backyard of this farmhouse was much larger than the front yard. There was a small vegetable garden with fresh seasonal vegetables planted in it, and two or three fruit trees. It was hard to tell what varieties they were at the moment.
There used to be a small pond in one corner of the backyard. There were many cages by the pond, which should have held chickens, ducks, fish, etc., but now they were all gone.
In addition, the kitchen and public restrooms were also here. Lin Qingqing rushed forward and hacked down an apron - wearing zombie in the vegetable garden, but in her mind, she was thinking about what Xiao Pengfei had said before: Among superpowers, except for the gold - type, other energy - type superpowers are not very suitable for attaching to weapons. Unless a weapon is specially crafted for the superpower user using metal with special properties, ordinary metal simply can't withstand the long - term attachment of superpower energy.
"Since my ice - type superpower can't be attached to ordinary weapons, does that mean I can only attack from a distance?"
Lin Qingqing frowned. Actually, there was another way, which was to directly condense weapons with her ice - type superpower, just like the trident in her dream.
"The knife that young man had just now was quite nice."
A flash of inspiration crossed Lin Qingqing's mind.She lowered her head and pondered for a while, then stretched out her hands, imagining the beautiful Tang - style sword she had just seen. A cold aura surged, and moments later, a knife over two feet long slowly appeared in her hands.
She picked up the knife and swung it forcefully, then adjusted its length and weight. Only then was Lin Qingqing satisfied.
"The ice - type superpower is really great. I can create whatever weapons or tools I want." Lin Qingqing held the ice knife, loving it to bits.
"I didn't expect it to be so useful!"
As expected of a weapon condensed with her own superpower, this ice knife fit her perfectly, as if it was tailor - made for her.
She hacked down a zombie with the ice knife and looked at the blade. Although there was a little damage, it wasn't a big deal. With a shake of the knife body, a chill passed, and the blade returned to its original state. "Killing zombies like this can greatly save my superpower energy, and I don't even have to worry about weapon wear and tear. It's so convenient."
With a more suitable ice knife, the meat - cleaver with a long handle seemed a bit useless.
As long as she had her superpower, she wouldn't lack weapons. Lin Qingqing decisively gave up the somewhat heavy meat - cleaver. Not having to carry the weapon around all the time significantly reduced her burden.
She searched around the backyard for zombies to test her new weapon, and all of this, when seen by Zhou Mang, made his anger boil even more.Destroying a beautiful and powerful woman excited him more than simply killing an enemy. At this moment, even Zhou Mang himself couldn't tell whether what was in his heart was hatred or some perverted desire. Thinking of Qian Mao's previous proposal, Zhou Mang licked his lips with his scarlet tongue. "That brat Qian Mao isn't a good person either. Although his strength isn't that great, he's quite smart."
Zhou Mang had killed quite a few people after the apocalypse. While others struggled to survive, he thrived more and more. "What apocalypse? It should be called paradise instead!"
At this time, Lin Qingqing felt a sinister gaze, like a bone - sticking maggot, constantly sticking to her firmly.
No one else would look at her like this except Zhou Mang!
Lin Qingqing was on high alert and immediately sheathed her knife and returned to the team. "Zhou Mang hasn't found a chance to strike all this way. He surely won't let tonight slip by."
Lin Qingqing was a bit nervous in her heart, but she wasn't afraid. She now had the strength to fight Zhou Mang and was no longer the one who could only flee for her life with her head down. She wasn't afraid of a one - on - one fight. If they all came at her together, surely Captain Xiao wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
With this thought, Lin Qingqing calmed down a bit and calmly went to discuss countermeasures with Xiao Pengfei and the others.
Compared to Zhou Mang, Xiao Pengfei would surely stand on Lin Qingqing's side. As a soldier, what he hated the most were those who, relying on their powerful superpowers, did all kinds of evil everywhere.
Upon hearing that Zhou Mang might make a move at night, Xiao Pengfei arranged for Lin Qingqing to stay in the innermost room, and the four rooms adjacent to hers were occupied by his own men.There were twelve people in Xiao Pengfei's group, and with Lin Qingqing, they occupied five rooms. The others didn't dare to say anything and consciously looked for companions to share rooms with.
In this way, the thirty - six private rooms on the three - story building were filled with over a hundred people.
Shi Kai had originally wanted to rely on his relationship with Captain Xiao to arrange for his girlfriend and sister to stay in Lin Qingqing's room, but both of them refused.
Are you kidding? There might be a fierce battle at night. How could they involve irrelevant people?
They had good intentions, but Shi Kai couldn't understand. He looked at Lin Qingqing with disapproval and said, "Miss, these are extraordinary times. There aren't enough rooms as it is. Don't you think it's too much for you to occupy a room by yourself?"
"Really? I don't think so!"
Lin Qingqing rolled her eyes inwardly. Their arrangement was to guard against Zhou Mang, but this couldn't be said explicitly to him.
She just hoped this guy would be sensible and not cause trouble, otherwise it would be bad for both sides.
But obviously, Shi Kai didn't think this way. He just thought Lin Qingqing was getting special treatment. They were both residents of Furong Community and both encountered Captain Xiao and were going to Rongcheng Base with him. They should have the same treatment.
Moreover, he was a superpower user. Was it just because the other party was a somewhat good - looking woman?Shi Kai was unconvinced. He hadn't joined Captain Xiao and the others in clearing the zombies before. Instead, he only entered with his family after they had finished cleaning up.
So he didn't know that Lin Qingqing was also a superpower user.
When his suggestion was so casually rejected by Lin Qingqing, Shi Kai felt an overwhelming sense of disappointment, as if a mountain of frustration had been piled up in his heart. Even his gratitude and awe towards Xiao Pengfei vanished completely because of this "unequal treatment".
"Fine, fine, fine. I, Shi Kai, finally see it clearly today. There's no justice in this world. I admit I'm not as capable as you today, but one day I'll..."
"It's getting late. Go to bed early. We'll set off at dawn tomorrow!"
Before he could finish, Xiao Pengfei interrupted him. If this went on, would they still be able to sleep? His team members had been working hard all day and were exhausted. They didn't have the time to listen to this kind of repetitive talk.
Shi Kai, whose words were interrupted, was left speechless. He instinctively wanted to retort, but seeing Xiao Pengfei's gloomy face, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Lin Qingqing had originally thought she would hear something like "Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side. Don't bully the young who are poor."
But unfortunately, this wasn't a TV drama, and not every young person had the chance and courage to say such words.Shi Kai was a bit intimidated by Xiao Pengfei's gaze. Just as he was about to leave, he still turned back reluctantly and retorted to Lin Qingqing, "A person can only go further by relying on themselves. There's no future in clinging to men. You'd better think it over!"
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Lin Qingqing: "..."
Was she being insinuated? Heh!
Lin Qingqing was so angry that she almost laughed. And Xiao Pengfei, who already had a gloomy face, now looked so dark that it seemed like water could drip from it.
Was this guy out of his mind? Had he been blind back then? How could he have thought this was a promising young man in society?
