When the apocalypse comes, salted fish will only make bubbles

Seeing Pei Chonglin putting on clothes regardless of his body, Qu Linqing couldn't help but grit his teeth. What he was making was not a sack. He asked him to take off his clothes and try it on. It wasn't to skin him, so why should he resist so much?

He didn't want to be dealt with like this, so he hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him: "No, this is underwear, Pei Chonglin. When we were children, we slept on the same bed. Why are you afraid that I will see it when you grow up?"

"No."

Pei Chonglin paused, and there was some resistance in his heart to taking off his clothes in front of Qu Linqing. They did sleep in the same bed when they were children, but they all said that was when they were children, bigger brats who didn't understand anything and didn't care about anything.

In the past two years, he had followed his father around in the mall, and he had acquired some of the arrogance and reserve of some businessmen. Being shirtless in public had long been classified as degrading to politeness by him.

Although he doesn't wear a suit or tie now, things in his heart can't be changed just because of acquaintances.

Especially in front of Qu Linqing, who had controlled him a lot, he didn't want to compromise with him again because of his childhood habits, at least not on this matter.

Although he thought so, he said it tactfully: "I don't think so. It's cold and I don't want to catch a cold."

When he mentioned the cold, Qu Linqing's heart suddenly flashed. With the lack of medical treatment and medicine, the most taboo thing about getting sick was that he was indeed not thinking carefully.

"That's right. If you accidentally catch a cold, you'll lose more than you gain. I was negligent, so let's try this!"

While he was talking, the protective clothing was already on his body. Qu Linqing took the opportunity to help him tidy up, looked at his sleeves, and asked curiously: "Didn't you say you have thermal underwear? Why don't you see me?" wear?"

"It's hot during the day, so I can't wear anything."

Thinking of the thermal underwear that Zhu Daneng gave away, Pei Chonglin felt heartbroken. His thermal underwear was currently being worn on someone, protecting them from the wind and cold and using up the remaining heat.

"How does it feel?"

Qu Linqing didn't think much after hearing this. He looked at the protective clothing that he had spent a lot of effort to make up and down very intently. He was full of joy. Judging from the degree of self-cultivation, it would be more suitable for Pei Chonglin to wear it next to him.

But it's a pity that he can't witness it with his own eyes.

Thinking that the protective clothing he made by himself would be worn closely on Pei Chonglin, his face heated up and he suddenly felt a little shy.

Pei Chonglin didn't notice his change, moved his arms, and couldn't help but praise: "Don't say it, look at the thin layer, it is so close to the body when worn."

Qu Linqing was not surprised by this evaluation, and raised his eyebrows to signal him: "Look at the quality again."

Hearing this, Pei Chonglin grabbed his sleeve and pulled hard. It was full of resilience and surprisingly strong.

"The quality is very good." He said honestly.

"Try this again." Qu Linqing handed him a pair of scissors with extremely sharp blades.

Pei Chonglin immediately understood his intention, took it in his hand without hesitation, and neatly used the scissors to damage the protective clothing. When he saw the result, he couldn't hide his surprise and said: "The scissors can't hurt at all."

This toughness is comparable to the invulnerable black gold soft armor that the ancients often said.

"Linqing, is this the special material you have been studying before?"

"Yes."

Qu Linqing stared at him as if admiring a piece of art, his eyes full of obsession. When he asked, he knew what he was planning:

"This is extracted from a special aerospace material. After special process fusion processing, it will produce this effect. However, due to limited conditions, mass production is unlikely in the short term."

Except for the one on Pei Chonglin, they only had a few wrist guards made of leftover materials, which could only be used for local defense. Pei Chonglin wanted to arm more people, but he was afraid that he would have to go back to the imperial capital to find a way.

"So that's it."

Pei Chonglin expressed his understanding that things are rare and valuable, and things like this that can save lives at critical moments are hard to come by. With this in mind, he was ready to take off his clothes.

"It's really nice, you can keep it and wear it!"

Qu Linqing is the core figure of this mission. He has no special powers and needs this kind of protection.

"I said I made it specially for you." Qu Linqing held his hand and emphasized seriously.

"It's really unnecessary!"

Pei Chonglin refused again. He had bodyguards and he was not a vegetarian, so there was no need to occupy such precious resources.

As the saying goes, no reward for no merit, it is better to let Qu Linqing put it on by himself, so that he can worry less.

"It's not necessary. You have to face zombies all day long. This protective clothing can protect you. If you don't believe me, take a look!"

As he spoke, Qu Linqing suddenly grabbed Pei Chonglin's arm and brought it to his mouth.

Seeing this, Pei Chonglin's head was buzzing, and he quickly withdrew his arm without thinking, and asked him speechlessly: "What are you doing?"

"Test it!"

Qu Linqing said it matter-of-factly, then pointed at his arm and explained: "No matter how sharp the zombie's teeth are, they can't bite through the protective clothing. I just want to prove it to you."

"You're not a zombie, so just skip this experiment!"

Pei Chonglin frowned, not understanding Qu Linqing's move. The hardness and biting strength of ordinary people's teeth were not at the same level as zombie teeth. This experiment was unnecessary.

Unexpectedly, Pei Chonglin would throw him away without hesitation. Qu Linqing felt disappointed for a moment. He clenched his empty hands and finally sighed: "You are really afraid that I will eat you."

“It’s everyone’s responsibility to take good care of their teeth.”

Pei Chonglin made a joke dryly, rolled his eyes, and suddenly became energetic: "Um, did you hear that?"

"What? What did you hear?" Qu Linqing was stunned by his question. He imitated him and listened attentively, but he didn't hear any special sound.

Pei Chonglin hurriedly took off his protective clothing and moved towards the door with his ears open, and his mouth was not idle:

"Zhu Daneng is knocking on the iron pot. Dinner is ready. Linqing, let's talk about it later if we have anything to do. I've been hungry all day and I have to go and eat first. Otherwise, I won't even have the bottom of the pot left and I'll leave!"

After saying this, he didn't even look at Qu Linqing's face. He opened the door curtain and got out, as if there was some wild beast chasing him.

By the time Qu Linqing came to his senses, there was no sign of Pei Chonglin in the tent. Dinner was about to begin, which was clearly his excuse to escape.

"...Hey! Pei Chonglin!"

Qu Linqing was so angry that he stamped his feet on the spot. He didn't understand why it was so difficult to have a good conversation with Pei Chonglin!

Looking at the protective clothing that was left behind, he pursed his lips tightly. He just wanted to rely on his own ability to protect Pei Chonglin. Why was he unwilling to accept it?

Thinking that he still had such a distant attitude, Qu Linqing touched his cheek unconsciously. Could it be that he used his superpower to see through his own mind and did this on purpose?

Is it because he... doesn't like men, that's why he's so resistant and distant?
