End of the World Cycle

Apart from Xie Qin, the Shui family has now become the richest family in the base. The points they have are more than enough for their entire family to live a life of luxury for two or three lifetimes.

Shui Zicheng is a businessman. After accumulating more points, he wanted to do some business. After meeting Zhou Lili and seeing the progress of the base, he took over the base's canned food processing production line without hesitation, rented a newly renovated factory, purchased production machines from the base, recruited twenty employees, and began to try production, processing and sales.

Processed products are not afraid of not having a market. You can sell them yourself or sell them directly to the base at 40% below the market price. Even if it is 40% below the market price, Shui Zicheng still makes a profit after deducting the cost, so now is the right time to invest in the industry.

It has to be said that Zhou Lili is a person who is extremely good at promoting development. Together with Xia Xing's help in planning and publicity, as soon as the pages of the base's future planning brochure came out, the people in the base were full of hope. They began to join in the construction of the base to the best of their ability, and those who had sufficient funds also began to invest in industries.

In just over a month, the base's internal operations alone had already earned hundreds of millions of points. The base area had all had its power supply restored, and the streetlights that had been damaged by the rainy season had all been replaced with the base's unique streetlights.

Each pole has a unique logo of the base. The house numbers and landmarks have been re-set in the base area. The house numbers and landmarks are also the base logos of the Wuliang Base. Even the food produced in the factory has trademarks and emblems. It looks very orderly.

There were many modified snowmobiles coming and going in the base, transporting construction materials. Xie Qin drove to the bottom of the building and found that Xu Kai's car repair position was gone. The parking lot had returned to its original appearance.

After making a phone call, I found out that Xu Kai's car repair place had moved to the open space next to the research institute. The snow RV must be inspected, so instead of going directly home, Xie Qin drove the car to the car repair center.

Now the place where cars are repaired can really be called a car repair center. Snowplows are operating on the huge open space, and white lines mark thousands of parking spaces.

The newly built repair center was built in accordance with the standards of a 4S store before the end of the world. It was a three-story building, and the store was full of various cars. Although they were damaged, they were all % new and would not affect driving after being repaired.

The place is big, but there are not many people. After retrieving the information from the system, there are only 9 people working here, two customer service staff, and the remaining seven are all apprentices selected by Xu Kai.

Because there were few people, it was very quiet. The car attracted the attention of the people inside when it drove over. Xu Kai, who was repairing the car, saw that it was Xie Qin's car, and quickly threw away the tools in his hand, put on a down jacket, and trotted out.

Xie Qin parked the car at a random spot, opened the door and got out with Shui Liqing.

"Boss, you are back!"

"Yeah. How's the new place?"

"Very good, Mr. Zhou has prepared everything. It is more convenient to repair the car now."

"That's good. Let's get the car serviced. I still have a long way to go back. Do you have a car?"

"Yes! Xiao Wang, go to the warehouse and drive a tram over here."

"Okay, Master!" A young man who followed Xu Kai out from a distance replied.

"Boss, last time Captain Liang and his men went out, they brought back two armored vehicles. I read your book and repaired those two armored vehicles. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"Oh? Take me to see it."

Xie Qin followed Xu Kai to a warehouse behind the building. The warehouse was not big, with only seven or eight cars inside, but Xie Qin recognized most of them. They were all the cars he would drive out. It seemed to be his own independent garage.

"These two are wheeled armored vehicles, but they are equipped with two medium-caliber cannons and six machine guns. There are also anti-tank missiles at the rear. Although they are a bit old, the weapons are not affected. I repaired them according to the knowledge in the book and they can be driven. Deputy Guo also came to test the machine guns and cannons, and they can all be used. Only this anti-tank device has not been tested yet."

"Okay, have you finished reading the books I gave you before?"

"I have watched it, but I just didn't have the opportunity to practice it. After repairing the armored vehicle this time, it seems that I can use it to some extent."

"Okay, when I go out later, I will also pay attention to whether there are any left by the surrounding garrisons and bring them back for you to practice. You can continue reading these." After saying that, Xie Qin had already exchanged some basic related books from the mall and gave them to Xu Kai.

"Thank you, boss."

"Okay, I'm going back first."

"Okay, boss, the car is parked at the door."

Arriving at the door, Xie Qin saw a modified tram. The car was not big and did not look new, like a spliced ​​car, but after getting in, it was very warm. It was not very fast, but there was no noise, and it was also very convenient to drive on the snow.

The Shui family has moved to the 87th floor, just downstairs from Xie Qin. The elevator is very large, but Shui Liqing seems to be used to sticking to Xie Qin. Even if he doesn't hold Xie Qin's hand, he still keeps his arm tightly against Xie Qin's shoulders.

As soon as the elevator on the 87th floor opened, Xie Qin saw Shui Limu waiting at the elevator door. Shui Liqing didn't rush out, but Shui Limu came in instead.

He hugged Xie Qin.

"Miss you."

"Ah???" Xie Qin was stunned for a moment, but still put his arms around Shui Limu's waist and patted his back.

Shui Liqing turned around and looked at his brother who was hugging Xie Qin. After hesitating for half a second, he hugged Xie Qin from behind.

"What are you doing?! I'm like a sandwich." Although she didn't feel uncomfortable, the two tall guys sandwiched her like two walls. Everything in front of her was dark. Xie Qin felt that her height had been greatly insulted.

He let go of his hand and waved his shoulder, pushing the two men apart. Xie Qin took two steps to the side, a little further away from the two brothers.

"Okay, let's go back. I want to go back too."

"Remember, next time, take me with you."

"I know, I know."

After pushing the two brothers out of the elevator, Xie Qin directly pressed the door closing button. Although it was three o'clock in the afternoon when he got home, he could still smell the aroma of food in the air.

As soon as Xie Qin arrived at the signal area, he called his mother and told her he would be back soon. In more than half an hour, Ms. Zhang had already prepared several dishes.

A fence has been built in the living room, and the floor is covered with a soft crawling mat. Xie Jin was sleeping soundly in the cradle. Xie Ran, who was playing with Legos nearby, almost shouted out in excitement when he saw Xie Qin.

She suddenly thought of the sleeping Xie Jin, and immediately covered her mouth again, trotted to Xie Qin's side, and put her arms around Xie Qin's waist.

"elder sister."

"Have you been obedient at home?"

"Be good. Sister, come and see!" Xie Ran excitedly pulled Xie Qin's hand and wanted to show off. She took Xie Qin to the area where she built Lego. There were all kinds of warships, cars, airplanes, and buildings. They were much more exquisite than the ones Xie Ran had built before.

There was a thick stack of drawings on the side. It was obvious that they were drawn by Xie Ran. Although they were not detailed enough, for Xie Ran, who was less than ten years old, he was considered talented.

"Teacher Guan said that I am very good at constructing and observing objects."

"As long as you like it and study hard, you will eventually achieve something." Xie Qin rubbed Xie Ran's head and smiled. Ning Cheng suddenly came to his mind. He took his hand back and shook off his thoughts.

Xie Jin was an easy baby to take care of. He slept until they finished their meal. Xie Qin entered the playpen, held Xie Jin, and skillfully changed his diaper and prepared milk powder. Zhang Mingfang, who was collecting the dishes nearby, was a little curious.

"You are good at taking care of children. Didn't I teach you these when you were young?" Indeed, when Xie Ran was young, her father was still alive and her mother took care of them almost full-time. She did these things for Xie Ran a few times when she was curious. But she was not as skilled as she is now.

"You are born to be a good parent." Xie Qin said with a smile while holding Xie Jin and feeding her.

"Yes, yes, our Qinqin is smart and knows everything."

In the evening, it was still the scheduled time to get off work, and Guo Dongkang and Zhou Lili knocked on Xie Qin's door on time.

It was a routine work report, and I had already known all that information through system scanning, so I just listened to it as a formality.

"How is the preparation for the institute going?"

"Almost, but you haven't told us the specific research direction, so we haven't officially started yet."

“Are there relevant talents?”

"I wonder if you still remember the couple, Dong Siyuan and Zhang Lu, who lived on the 38th floor before." Guo Dongkang asked.

"I remember. I used to be a researcher at the Dongyue City Biological Research Institute."

"Yes, they had been living outside the base because they didn't have the entrance fee. They came in last time when Teacher Zhou started to allow people to enter the base on credit, and we recorded their information."

"Contact them directly. I only have one request. Once you enter our research institute, you cannot leave the base. All research-related data and results cannot be leaked out of the base."

"clear."

"On this basis, all their reasonable requests can be met. In addition to these two people, are there any other researchers?"

"No more. All the living people around have entered the base. Only these two people can be used."

"Okay, let them analyze the quality of this bottle of water first." After saying that, Xie Qin took out a small bottle of water from the space and handed it to Guo Dongkang.

"This is?"

"I don't know either, but if this thing can be researched and produced, it will be great news for our base."

"clear."

After the two left, Xie Qin took out a small basin of spiritual spring water from the space and soaked ten second-level corpse crystals in it.

She never used people close to her for experiments, so on the morning of the third day, she knocked on the door of the 87th floor, and the person who opened the door was Liu Xiangyi, whom Xie Qin was looking for. After not seeing her for a long time, Liu Xiangyi was no longer as thin and sallow as before.

She must have taken good care of herself. Her skin has improved a lot and her whole temperament has come out. She looks like a rich lady. Plus, she is pretty and you can't tell at all that she has ever suffered.

In my two lifetimes, I have only met three healing people: Dr. Lan, Ning Cheng, and Liu Xiangyi.

Xie Qin was invited into the house, and the layout inside was the same as where she lived. However, there was no skylight downstairs, and the swimming pool was built next to the window. However, the original swimming pool had been filled with soil and fertilizer, and no one knew what was planted in it.

The house was very clean, and Xie Qin noticed that the Shui family really knew how to enjoy themselves. Two strange women were busy, with gentle eyes and brows. It was obvious that they were the nannies hired by the Shui family.

"Is the base commander here to look for Amu and Aqing? The two brothers followed their father to the factory."

"No, I'm here to find you."

"Find me?"

"Eat this and see if it can improve your abilities."

"This is....?"

"Don't worry, it won't be dangerous." This was actually an unreliable thing, but she was more certain that this thing no longer had the zombie virus, and if she took it, at most it would have no effect, so it shouldn't be dangerous. Just in case, she still didn't want to use Dr. Lan as an experiment.

"Yeah." On the other hand, Liu Xiangyi has great faith in Xie Qin, who helped her family change their destiny. Even if she knew that this thing was harmful, Liu Xiangyi would eat it as long as Xie Qin asked.

As time passed, Liu Xiangyi gradually felt the supernatural powers in her body becoming abundant.

"It's useful. I seem to have reached the second level." Liu Xiangyi spread out her palms, and a stream of white energy with a hint of green light gathered in her palms. It's really the second level. This spiritual spring is useful.

"Here, try drinking this water." Xie Qin took out another small bottle of water and handed it to Liu Xiangyi.

Liu Xiangyi didn't hesitate at all and drank all the water in one breath.

"It doesn't seem to have any special feeling, except that this water is a little sweeter than ordinary water."

Xie Qin looked at Liu Xiangyi and frowned. Without saying anything more, he stood up.

"Are you willing to work in the hospital?" Xie Qin knew that with the current financial resources of the Shui family, even if Liu Xiangyi did nothing, it would be fine. But healing psychics were too scarce. She had to lobby Liu Xiangyi.

"As long as the base commander needs me, I'm definitely willing to go."

"Since you are willing to go, I will provide you with crystal cores every day. Upgrade your abilities as soon as possible, and of course you will be rewarded."

"Okay. The base commander decides. When do I start work?"

"Tomorrow, I will make an agreement with Doctor Lan. You don't have to do anything medical-related. You only need to use your special powers to treat patients when they need you. Just go to work at the hospital normally and let them find you when they want to."

"I see. Hearing the base commander say that, I feel relieved." Liu Xiangyi smiled.

"Ah."

After leaving the Shui family, Xie Qin went directly to the hospital. Fortunately, there were not many people in the base, and the hospital was not busy. Only the medicine window in the lobby had people queuing up. Most of them were taking medicine for headaches, fever, and colds.

Apart from two or three former clinic doctors, the only real resident doctor was Dr. Lan. Although the school had opened nursing and medical majors, it was basically impossible to train doctors in the short term.

Therefore, it is most convenient to upgrade the healing ability as soon as possible.

Doctor Lan took the soaked crystal core and ate it without hesitation. As a result, like Liu Xiangyi, they both became second-level mutants. With this result, Xie Qin was relieved.

With two healing psychics in charge of the base, Xie Qin seemed to have become more confident.
