When the apocalypse comes, salted fish will only make bubbles

Pei Chonglin was speechless and choked up as he watched Ma Fei run away as fast as he could. Look, are there any of his men who are reliable?

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to his tent, he saw Sha Jingjing suddenly raised her finger and pointed behind him, mouthing: "Master, look behind you!"

Before he could understand, a voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Pei Chonglin, I've caught you!"

As soon as he heard this voice, Pei Chonglin suddenly felt dizzy. How could he forget that there was such an ancestor watching him all the time!

Seeing that the reminder failed, Sha Jingjing laughed awkwardly and pulled Sun Muchong away. Pei Chonglin sighed, turned around and gave the person opposite a smile: "Linqing, long time no see!"

Qu Linqing crossed his arms and looked at him, half-smiling but not smiling: "Ha! You know it's been a long time since we last met. Why, if I don't come to block you now, will it be even longer?"

Fortunately, he kept an eye out and had people help keep an eye on Ma Fei's activities. Soon someone told him that Pei Chonglin had returned from a mission.

He hurried over without saying a word, lest he get into the tent to deal with official duties and ignore himself.

It was not once or twice that Qu Linqing chased him to question him. Pei Chonglin laughed out loud as usual: "Look what you said, I have a mission and I just came back. How is it? Is the research going well?"

"You don't need to worry about my research!"

Qu Linqing rudely stopped him from changing the topic, and then deliberately reminded him: "Why don't you tell me about your mission? If I remember correctly, Master Pei, your main mission after traveling thousands of miles to come here is to protect me!"

"I'm escorting you back to the imperial capital."

Pei Chonglin straightened his neck and corrected him. He couldn't subdivide this task in this way, otherwise he would have to become Qu Linqing's personal bodyguard.

Besides, Ma Fei's entire army is surrounding him, so there is really no need to add him.

No, counting Zhu Daneng and the others, we have to add four more.

"it's the same."

Qu Linqing insisted that he could not let Pei Chonglin take advantage of any more excuses.

Moreover, he wanted to keep Pei Chonglin by his side because of his own consideration. It was too dangerous to run out every day. Even if someone protected him, he could not rest assured.

Knowing that Qu Linqing was holding back his anger, Pei Chonglin followed his intention and said, "Yes, it's the same. I'll be back soon. It's good. I feel relieved to see you safe and sound!"

"But I don't trust you!" Qu Linqing couldn't see him pretending to be stupid and looked at him seriously.

Pei Chonglin was helpless, but he still said to him patiently: "Linqing, look, I'm not good at this. It's done. You can feel relieved after seeing it. Then go back and rest. I still have a lot of things here." Things need to be dealt with.”

Seeing Qu Linqing bite his lip, he quickly added: "I'm not trying to prevaricate you. I've been out for several days and there are so many things!"

"Forget it, there's nothing we can do against you!"

It was the same reason every time. Qu Linqing didn't bother to argue anymore and let him go.

But this didn't mean that he was going to send him away. He then made another request: "But before you get busy, I have something I want you to try!"

"what?"

It's probably not easy to try what a scientist said. Pei Chonglin became more vigilant, "Isn't it another weird invention? How about I ask Sun Muchong to go over and cooperate with you?"

"No need!"

Qu Linqing rejected it directly, and then looked at Pei Chonglin very seriously: "I designed this specially for you. Others are not qualified to try it, so just say whether you want to try it or not!"

Speaking of this, if Pei Chonglin refused, he would be slapping Qu Linqing in public. In order to prevent his former friend from falling out, he had to agree: "Okay! I'll give it a try!"

There was no way, since he was a child, Qu Linqing always liked to control him like a little big brother. If he didn't get his way, he would go to his parents to complain like a little scholar.

For this reason, when he was a child, his mother would often tug on his ears and lecture him. He was told every day to listen to Linqing, to follow Linqing's example, not to make Linqing angry, and to protect him if anything happened.

But in fact, Qu Linqing was only three months older than him. Apart from being able to complain, he was not much better than him. Especially since he was timid, he really had to count on him to come forward when something happened.

However, those are things that happened when they were young. Seven or eight years have passed. They have developed and grown in different fields and have already had their own lives.

If it hadn't been for the outbreak of the apocalypse, maybe they would still be far apart.

And he came all the way to the western base to save people this time, just because he was entrusted by Qu Linqing's family. Of course, he later learned that it was actually Qu Linqing who called his name.

Later, he came as promised, and when they saw each other, their appearance changed drastically. However, Qu Linqing's behavior was still the same as when he was a child. He always liked to stare at him and wanted to take care of everything big and small.

I knew he meant well, but Pei Chonglin, who had been in the mall for several years, couldn't stand the attention, so he always found various excuses to avoid Qu Linqing.

Fortunately, most of the time the other party was also busy with research, which allowed him to take a breath from time to time. Even so, he still looked forward to the end of the mission as soon as possible so that they could return to their respective lives.

Qu Linqing didn't know how much Pei Chonglin thought about in the blink of an eye. Seeing that he agreed, he finally smiled, turned around and pulled the person away: "Follow me to my tent."

"...Don't go to the experimental vehicle?"

Pei Chonglin felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. He didn't want to go to Qu Linqing's tent. Once he entered, he might be held back for some reason. He really didn't have time to spend with him.

Upon seeing his behavior, Qu Linqing immediately changed his face: "Why, are you afraid that I won't eat you?"

"No, what am I afraid of? Just go."

……

After Pei Chonglin arrived at Qu Linqing's tent, he realized why he had to come to his tent, because Qu Linqing wanted him to try on a special protective clothing.

Looking at the white protective clothing that was similar to an ordinary body-shaping garment, Pei Chonglin frowned: "Thermal underwear? Then there's no need to try it on, I have something to wear."

Qu Linqing would not let him go and urged him directly: "I know that you, Mr. Pei, are not lacking in those things. This dress of mine is not ordinary. You should try it on first."

Pei Chonglin took the clothes and looked through them carefully, opened a corner and said thoughtfully: "This feels good and has good toughness, but it's a little thin."

Qu Linqing smiled, then took the clothes from his hand, and stared at him: "Stop talking nonsense now, take off your clothes!"

"what?"

Pei Chonglin wanted to turn around and leave. He was not an underwear model, so why should he be allowed to strip naked and try it on?

Seeing that Pei Chonglin was still as awkward as when he was a child, Qu Linqing had to reach out to him and deliberately threatened: "Ah what! Take off your clothes. How can you try it if you don't take off your clothes? How about I help you take it off?"

Pei Chonglin was going crazy when this happened again. After thinking about it, he simply grabbed the clothes and put them on his head: "Why bother? I can just put them on."

Anyway, it’s just a matter of trying on clothes. It doesn’t matter whether it is worn inside or outside, as long as it can be worn.
