Chapter 302.
Song Linwei was puzzled, “Why is Sister Sheng suddenly looking for Old Man Qin? The matter of the escape ship ……”
Qi Lingmu pressed the blood on the tip of her tongue, her voice hoarse: “Sheng An didn’t agree, tell the base chief – the Special Intelligence Service won’t get on the ship, and that’s not really a solution.”
Watching all of humanity die, they stayed inside the safety of the escape ship, in a world where there was nothing, could they really survive?
Sent into space? There was even less hope of surviving then.
And as soon as they gave up, humanity would surely die.
That’s erasing all their previous efforts, erasing their faith.
Only 49 days, the disaster, the escape ship, all stimulated Sheng An, she wouldn’t get on the ship, she would still let go.
That’s what Sheng An is.
Qi Lingmu understood her and gave a light smile.
And his reply also represents Sheng An.
Wu Buye: ”That’s right, what’s the point of leaving? Humanity can’t just perish like this!”
Li Xin: “Right, I still have to save the world.”
Jiang Yu nodded, “I’ll always follow Sister Sheng.”
Upon hearing this, Song Linwei smiled, with a kind of peace of mind and openness that the dust had settled, and nodded: “Well, actually, I knew that Sister Sheng wouldn’t agree to this, so I’ve already rebuffed it.”
Only, the base chief and Elder Li were unwilling to give up, asking him to convince Sheng An and talk about the pros and cons.
Song Linwei looked at the others, and none of them reacted in any other way because of those words.
–None of them would leave behind the humans.
This was the Special Intelligence Service.
This was the teammates who fought side by side and would always be together.
In the kitchen, Sheng An strides in.
Without Liu Yue around, it was cold inside the kitchen, and Old Man Qin was eating with Qin Xuan, hitting the stove to cook a soup pot with all sorts of delicacies cooking inside.
Lai Wan Yun took out the good ingredients that were kept in the kitchen, things that were rare after the end of the world, he cooked them in it.
There was also a small pot next to it, he fried steak for Qin Xuan and fried pumpkin pie.
An old man and a young man, ate for a long while.
Seeing her come in, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a weasel-like smile, ”Hey, hey, hey, hey, Team Leader Sheng is here, want some soup pot? The shabu shabu is delicious!”
Qin Xuan held the pumpkin cake in both hands, his little teeth gnawing out the gaps as he flashed her a smile, “Hehehehehehe, eat!”
Sheng An approached and slowed her steps.
She stood in front of them, this old man and young man eating almost exactly the same thing, Li Xin always said that old man Qin had brought Qin Xuan down, causing him to only eat and eat.
Sheng An sat down on the opposite chair, across the smoky pot, and slowly spoke-
“In fact, there are many abnormalities about you, such as being extraordinarily able to eat, not less than an alien at all, such as your surprising flexibility, on such a cold day, I would feel cold, but you, an ‘ordinary person’ can sit in the kitchen and eat pots and pans, as well as the phrase that you are always god-awful from time to time ……”
Old man Qin’s chopsticks that were shabu-shabuing the mutton slightly paused, and then the mutton disappeared inside the boiling soup.
He rushed to fish for it, but found nothing.
It didn’t matter though, he had already eaten a pot of mutton and there were many other dishes cooked inside.
Old man Qin fished out the mushrooms again and dipped them in the sauce to eat them, the weather was too cold so he had a small induction cooker underneath his sauce bowl.
Oddly good at eating.
As he ate, Old Man Qin returned, “Team Leader Sheng, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand?”
Sheng An looked at him quietly, “Wu Buye is next to you and never hears anything he shouldn’t, either you’re too normal or you have a very high level of psychic ability, I think it’s the latter.”
“Huh?” Old man Qin froze, “Team Leader Sheng said that I have a high level of psychic ability? What a joke!”
Sheng An acted as if he didn’t hear his denial and continued:
“I didn’t force you to ask before because you didn’t want to say anything, and I don’t think that a guy who still refuses to say anything in front of the survival of human beings is a good person, so I’m afraid that even if I force you to ask, I won’t be able to ask anything, or ask the real thing.”
Old Man Qin finished eating the shrimp, dropped his drooping eyelids, and picked up the hoof meat inside the soup pot that had been stewed until it was rotten.
Sheng An: “Plus, my intuition has always been accurate, my intuition doesn’t really want to ask you, maybe the answer I know from you won’t make me happy.”
The trotters had been stewed, and Old Man Qin melted in a single sip, so happy that his eyes squinted, while after eating the trotters, his chopsticks reached out to the several rare mushrooms inside.
The Special Intelligence Service had the best treatment, and Old Man Qin followed the Special Intelligence Service and ate happily all the time.
Sheng An stretched out his hand, fingers clamped around his wrist, eyes serious:
“And today I’m sitting here, then I have to ask you about your secret, and if you won’t tell me, I’ll have to use other means.
“I’m sure you know me well enough to know what I mean by that, and I also know that since I’ve said it, I must reap the rewards, without fail.”
Old Man Qin paused slightly.
Then, he suddenly turned his head to look at Qin Xuan, revealing a gentle smile, “Xuan Xuan go out, go find brother Li Xin, or any other brother or sister.”
He rubbed Qin Xuan’s head, very gently.
Qin Xuan was still holding the pumpkin cake in his hand and was stunned at his words.
As if sensing something, he looked at Sheng An, then at Old Man Qin, tears barred down his face, and the pumpkin cake was not wanted, landing on the table.
“Grandpa ……” he cried and shook his head.
Old man Qin’s voice was firm, “Be obedient.”
Sheng An also looked at him, “Xuan Xuan, be obedient.”
Qin Xuan eventually went out, crying with tears on his face, taking one step and turning back three times.
After the people left, Sheng An once again looked at old man Qin, his eyes wave-less.
Old man Qin moved his wrist, “I want to continue eating, life’s major event is nothing more than eating and drinking, Team Leader Sheng, do you want to stop this too?”
Sheng An loosened his hand and faintly said, “Say it.”
“Say what?”
“Qin, old man, head.” Sheng An’s voice had become dangerous.
Old Man Qin picked up a chicken claw and said as he nibbled on it, “What on earth do you need to know so much for? According to the trajectory of Lai Wan Yun’s last life, the last person to die could live until the fifth year of the End Times, and now, you see that you might not even live until the end of the second year of the End Times.”
The more they struggled, the more powerless they became, and the more miserable they became.
Sheng An’s body leaned forward, one word at a time, “But, we changed, even if it’s a bad change, it’s still a change. Moreover, the number of humans surviving now is tens, if not hundreds, of times that of the previous world, right? As long as the problem is solved as soon as possible, a bad change is a good result.”
Old man Qin spat the bones aside and switched to fishballs, the hand-beaten fishballs were delicious, Lai Wan Yun had really stocked up on the good stuff.
He burped.
He was clearly full, but he still bit into the fishballs and squinted his eyes in happiness.
He shook his head and ate, his voice slurred, “An irrevocable ending, it’s useless to make more efforts, why not be happy for one day?”
“It’s useful, as I said, all struggles are used, humans are struggling, we are struggling, we were struggling in our last life, we are still struggling in this life, even Hao Jingye who turned into a fae is struggling, why would it be useless?”
Sheng An stared at him closely, his eyes burning, “You’re waiting for the established result, but are you happy?”
Old Man Qin paused, the chopsticks holding half of the fishballs didn’t move, the fishballs fell into the bowl, splashing the soup.
He lifted his head to look at her, his voice hoarse: “All the struggles, the do-overs, are just heading towards the destined end, there is no road ahead of you, so why don’t you stop?”
Sheng An sat back, leaning against the back of the chair, never lazy posture but always with the toughness of a soldier, gently smiled, eyes serious-
“No, never stop, even if the gate knife falls and the death sentence is pronounced, it will go forward.”
She would never retreat, nor would she stop!
On her shoulders was responsibility, and behind her was the entire human civilization.
As long as she was still conscious, she wouldn’t stop, and this chess game, even if there was only one white piece left, would be equally immortal.
Old man Qin pinched his chopsticks and didn’t say anything.
Sheng An spoke again through the boiling mist, “Actually, you don’t want to hide your secrets anymore, that’s why you’re asking me these questions, so now you can tell me, who exactly are you?”
Before, old man Qin wouldn’t say anything, and Sheng An couldn’t ask even if she did.
But now, she sensed that he would say it.
Old man Qin had never reported his name before, and in a world so big, it was not uncommon to find vagabonds without a household registration.
He and Qin Xuan had come after the informational meeting, when it was the busiest time of the year, with the doomsday a few days later dividing all their attention.
They never seemed to know, what exactly was Old Man Qin’s identity?
The soup pot was delicious and steaming hot, and Old Man Qin had eaten many of his favorite delicacies, his stomach full and warm from the inside out.
He looked over at Sheng An and smiled through the heat, the folds on his face stacking-
“Well, get reacquainted.”
“Qin Xuan, my name is Qin Xuan.”
