Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 181 Xu Qing
The fiery red sun was in contact with the sea surface, and the orange-red glow lightly reflected on Xu Qing's fair face.

Seeing Xu Qing with a serious face, Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback.

The scene in front of him was very similar to the scene when he first met Xu Feng.

But unlike Xu Feng, whose muscles were like a humanoid tyrannosaurus, Xu Qing's figure was graceful, like a slender bamboo leaf.

But her expression was exactly the same as her elder brother who was far away in Dongji Mountain, his eyes were full of determination.

For a moment, Chen Xuan seemed to see Xu Feng.

After a brief trance, Chen Xuan quickly stretched out his hand to shake it, and then said seriously.

"Hi, I'm Chen Xuan."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Xuan couldn't help feeling emotional.

When I met Xu Feng for the first time, I was somewhat wary.

But this time, I was entrusted by Xu Feng to come here specially, and my mentality has changed slightly compared to before.

After a pause, he continued.

"As for the matter of rescue, you don't have to worry too much about it. Your brother took care of me before, and this is what I should do."

Chen Xuan didn't say that the reason why he did this was because of his previous promise to Xu Feng, it seemed a bit cold to say so.

Although he told Xu Qing that he could come to him in the morning and evening, Chen Xuan did not expect Xu Qing to come so soon.

And from the looks of it, Xu Qing seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

"Why did you leave the hospital so quickly?" Chen Xuan asked again.

"I didn't suffer any injuries. The main reason was that I was hungry. If I had enough to eat and drink, I would be fine. Besides, it's also meaningless to stay in the hospital all the time. If I'm not sick, I'll get sick, so I applied to be discharged from the hospital directly."

Blinking twice, Xu Qing said playfully.

Judging by his complexion, Xu Qing should be recovering well.

Without the feeling of weakness at the beginning, Xu Qing is now more agile and delicate.

In particular, she still has the student air on her body, and she has the nature of a primary school girl in a society.

Chen Xuan always thought girls with long hair were pretty, but Xu Qing with short hair seemed quite cute.

When he met Xu Qing's big sparkling eyes, Chen Xuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He coughed twice and then asked.

"You came to me probably to ask about Xu Feng. If you have anything you want to ask, just ask."

Xu Qing looked for him, there should be nothing else.

"About my brother, I do have a lot of things I want to know, but it doesn't seem right to just stand here and say it all the time. Brother Chen Xuan, why don't we go to another place to eat and talk."

"You saved me, no matter what, let me treat you to a meal, right?"

Xu Qing said seriously.

Chen Xuan wanted to refuse, but seeing Xu Qing's stubborn eyes, he finally nodded.

"Well, it's time to eat too. It just so happens that I haven't tasted the craftsmanship of the chefs in Beifeng City."

"Then I will trouble you to lead the way, Xu Qing."

"I will handle it."

Xu Qing said with a smile.

Along the way, Chen Xuan also told Xu Qing about Xu Feng in detail.

From his first meeting with Xu Feng, including the situation of Dongji Mountain.

Xu Qing couldn't help but exclaimed when it was mentioned that Xu Feng was fighting with the fierce poisonous python.

But when he knew that Chen Xuan had rescued Xu Feng later, Xu Qing was relieved.

There was even more gratitude in Chen Xuan's eyes.

"Brother Chen Xuan, when I was lying on your back in the building, I saw you save people. How did you practice? I feel as good as my brother."

Xu Qing was deeply impressed by Chen Xuan's skill.

"Speaking of which, I learned this from your brother. He taught me this set of military boxing. Otherwise, I really don't know anything about fighting. In a sense, your brother is my enlightenment." Teacher."

Chen Xuan said with some emotion.

If it wasn't for Xu Feng, he wouldn't have ventured to the North Wind Plateau.

It was Xu Feng who set an example for himself and made himself more courageous to fight.

The two walked side by side, smelling the faint fragrance from Xu Qing's body, Chen Xuan was inevitably a little distracted.

When was the last time you got so close to a girl?

University?

nonexistent.

When I was in college, the mechanical major was a famous monk major, and there were basically no opposite sexes, and their class was a pure monk class, all male.

Many times, Chen Xuan was even required to do some tasks of raising placards.

Seeing that the other classes were mostly girls raising placards, Chen Xuan felt extremely embarrassed.

Coupled with his withdrawn personality and habit of going his own way, Chen Xuan spent four years in college without any desires or desires.

high school?

Probably not.

I was also a science subject in high school, there were only a few girls, and everyone was studying hard, and I didn't have much interaction with girls.

Chen Xuan retreated all the way, and finally found that the last time he had contact with young girls was in junior high school.

Well, at that time, he was the class representative and had to send and receive homework.

If it wasn't for this reason, he probably would have had the experience of intimate contact with girls only in elementary school.

After so many years, and suddenly being in close contact with a girl again, even Chen Xuan, who has seen the big world several times, couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Brother Chen Xuan, you are a man of science and technology."

At this time, Xu Qing suddenly asked with a smile.

"Ah, yes, I'm a mechanical major. How do you know that?"

Being seen through at a glance, Chen Xuan was a little curious.

"You guys in science and engineering, that's how it is. When you start a chat, you become stiff."

"Relax."

Looking at Xu Qing's playful eyes, Chen Xuan only felt more nervous.

While talking, the two of them arrived at their destination.

It is a cafeteria.

Due to the extraordinary period now, the private industry has been completely cancelled, and meals are also unified in the cafeteria.

And the cafeteria in front of me looks like it should be rebuilt from a relatively large restaurant. The exterior decoration is very elegant, but the sign about the restaurant is gone.

The two pushed the door open and entered, only to see small tables neatly arranged in the huge cafeteria, many of which still had soup and water left on them.

Since they came relatively late, there were almost no people in the cafeteria hall.

Well, I like to be quiet.

"The chef in this cafeteria is the best. It's not too far from the pier. It's also convenient to come back from missions. I usually come here to eat."

Xu Qing introduced it as if offering a treasure.

Then she found a fairly clean small table and took Chen Xuan to sit down. Xu Qing cleaned up the table in a hurry, and then asked enthusiastically.

"Brother Chen Xuan, what do you like to eat, I'll help you get food."

"Whatever, it's fine."

"Then I'll watch."

"Uh, good."

Xu Qing left in a hurry, while Chen Xuan looked around.

The surrounding air is filled with a greasy smell, and there is also the sound of "ping ping pong pong" from time to time, which is the sound of the collision of dinner plates.

For a moment, Chen Xuan felt as if he had returned to his student days.

At that time, I basically ate at the same table with those guys in the dormitory.

Unfortunately, they may only live in their own memories forever.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan sighed deeply.

"What's the matter, Brother Chen?"

At some point, Xu Qing came back with two dinner plates.

The plate was full to the brim.

Kung Pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, pickled cabbage fish soup, vinegar potato shreds, sweet and sour pork ribs, salted chicken.

There are six courses in total.

This is really Chen Xuan's most sumptuous dinner since the end of the world.

You know, he was basically a vegetarian before, or all kinds of fish.

Especially when he caught a big tuna before, he didn't finally get rid of it until two days ago.

There are also two bowls of fragrant, hot white rice, which also makes people's index fingers move.

Shaking his head, Chen Xuan walked out of his memory and replied to Xu Qing.

"It's nothing. I'm thinking of some of my old friends."

"How are they doing now?" Xu Qing asked curiously after putting down the lunch box carefully.

They were basically talking about Xu Feng's affairs along the way, and she didn't know Chen Xuan very well at present.

"I don't know, maybe they've all been buried in the sea. They're all from the south. There's basically no chance of them surviving."

Chen Xuan sighed.

"Let's eat first, I guess you should be hungry too, these dishes are very delicious, you should try them soon."

"Then I'll start."

Chen Xuan picked up a piece of chicken that was still dripping with oil, and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

I don't know what kind of mutated chicken this chicken came from. The meat in the mouth is very delicate and the taste is very delicious.

The slightly numbing and slightly spicy flavor spreads on the tip of the tongue, and at the same time there is a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste.

As expected of a chef, I can't make this taste myself.

"It tastes really good."

Chen Xuan praised.

"Then we eat and chat?"

"Ok!"

Next, Chen Xuan and Xu Qing shared some things about college life with each other.

As if the end of the world had never come, the two were just ordinary seniors and juniors in a university.

When the meal was halfway through, Xu Qing suddenly asked curiously.

"I've been talking about your friend just now, Brother Chen Xuan, where are your parents?"

"Well, I'm an orphan, without father or mother, I probably jumped out of a crack in the rock."

Chen Xuan joked.

But Xu Qing couldn't laugh.

"Ah... this, I'm sorry..."

Seeing Xu Qing's bewildered look, Chen Xuan waved his hands again and again.

He said lightly.

"It's okay, it's okay. To be honest, I'm afraid of your reaction. Every time someone asks about this matter, after understanding the situation, you will always be like this."

"Actually, I didn't feel much about this matter for a long time. After all, it has been more than 20 years."

Chen Xuan told the truth.

When he was young, he would often feel sad about his parents whom he had never met.

But after so many years, he has become numb.

Live or die, it doesn't matter.

Neither of these concepts are in his dictionary.

Without concepts, how can we talk about feelings?
He occasionally even thinks that he is the product of some scientific experiments.

Genetic engineering, biochemical transformation... He has thought about it all.

But Xu Qing definitely couldn't understand Chen Xuan's feeling.

She suddenly felt that Chen Xuan was alone, looking very lonely.

Because of this topic, the atmosphere became quiet for a while, and the surrounding seemed to be filled with awkward air.

After a moment, as if to resolve the embarrassment, Xu Qing spoke again.

"Actually, my parents left when I was in middle school, and my elder brother and I lived together."

"At that time, my brother was in high school. Because he had no financial resources, he dropped out of school and became a firefighter to subsidize his family."

"I owe everything to my brother to be where I am today."

As he spoke, Xu Qing's voice gradually dropped.

Chen Xuan did not expect that Xu Feng's family was in such a situation, and the situation of the siblings was much more difficult than his own.

If you belong to yourself, you have never owned it, so naturally there will be no sadness of loss.

But Xu Feng and Xu Qing belonged to their parents who passed away suddenly, this should be a very sad thing.

And Xu Feng later took on the responsibility of supporting the family, which made Chen Xuan suddenly have a little more admiration for this indomitable man.

"Xu Feng, he is really an amazing person."

He said from the heart.

At this moment, Xu Qing said suddenly.

"Brother Chen Xuan..."

Then she paused again.

"...you said brother, is he doing well in Dongji Mountain now?"

In fact, what she originally wanted to ask was if Chen Xuan could take her to find her brother.

But when it came to his lips, he couldn't say it.

After all, this request is too unreasonable.

It's not like she doesn't know how dangerous the sea is. It's an unbelievable miracle that Brother Chen Xuan can come all the way from Dongji Mountain. How can he ask Chen Xuan to take her again.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing temporarily changed his words.

Naturally, Chen Xuan didn't know what Xu Qing was thinking, and the system didn't give him the ability to see through people's hearts.

Assuming that Xu Qing was worried about his brother, he comforted him.

"You don't need to worry too much. Although the conditions in Dongji Mountain are not as good as those in Beifeng Plateau, I stayed there for more than half a month. The environment is actually good. After all, it is a scenic spot, and the air is much fresher than here."

"Furthermore, after removing that giant mutated python, there shouldn't be much threat. Besides, there is also a research team in Dongji Mountain. Those people are very powerful. They must have developed powerful weapons. Your brother should be fine."

"Well, it's great that brother is safe."

After saying that, Xu Qing was silent for a moment and then said suddenly.

"Brother Chen Xuan, can I join your team?"

Chen Xuan was taken aback for Xu Qing's request.

But he reacted quickly.

That's right, the team that Xu Qing was in before suffered heavy casualties, and now he can only reorganize. After all, not everyone is qualified to form a team like himself.

Looking at Xu Qing's hopeful eyes, Chen Xuan refused very simply.

"No."

I have always been alone and it has become a habit for a long time. It is inevitable that I will feel uncomfortable when someone suddenly joins me.

The most important thing is that there are many secrets on the "Kunpeng" that are really not suitable for others to see.

Next, the two chatted one sentence at a time. By the time they finished eating, it was almost night.

When parting, Chen Xuan said to Xu Qing.

"Xu Qing. You'd better not carry out combat missions in the future. Stay on the plateau, stay away from danger, live well, and wait to meet your brother again."

But Xu Qing shook his head and said.

"Brother Chen Xuan, some things are more important than saying goodbye to my brother. I can't stay behind forever and let other people protect me."

"I believe that my brother will understand me and be proud of me."

Looking at Xu Qing's leaving back, Chen Xuan seemed to see Xu Feng.

What are they fighting for?
