End of the World Cycle

Xie Qin's third-level mental power, even without using supernatural powers, is able to perceive everything around him differently than ordinary people. As soon as he approached the door of the study, Xie Qin felt two rapid breaths inside. As the knock on the door sounded, the two breaths did not panic, but became more excited.

"Come in." A deep male voice sounded from inside. After the three of them pushed the door open and went in, the person Xu Wanqing called Madam left. Xu Wanqing closed the door again.

Xu Wanqing turned around to close the door, and Xie Qin happened to see Jiang Zheng's face. He was a middle-aged man, but he was well-maintained. He was very capable, a little strong, and well-proportioned. If it weren't for the gray hair on his temples and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, he would look even younger. Not a bad first impression.

But soon Xie Qin felt something was wrong. This person looked happy, as if he was holding back something. There was a person hiding behind the huge desk. Although the person did not make any sound audible to human ears, Xie Qin still heard the sound of water stains blending and the slow and deep breathing of the person.

Xu Wanqing didn't know this, and continued to report Xie Qin's affairs seriously. During this time, Jiang Zheng listened, but didn't say anything extra, just said "hmm" or nodded.

Xie Qin obediently showed Jiang Zheng his special ability. After knowing that Xie Qin had water-related special ability, Jiang Zheng was not too surprised. After all, there was water-related special ability in the base, and Xie Qin was only at the first level, so the effect was not that great.

Then, Xie Qin noticed Jiang Zheng frowning, and thought he was dissatisfied with her, but she didn't expect Jiang Zheng to put his hand down as if he was pressing something, and then his brows relaxed, and a fishy smell of plants instantly filled the air. Jiang Zheng's brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. His face was full of comfort and relaxation.

After that, Jiang Zheng spoke more normally, and then he looked at Xie Qin straight in the eye. Xu Wanqing looked at Jiang Zheng as if she knew it was true. Because Jiang Zheng was stunned by Xie Qin.

Xu Wanqing knew that Jiang Zheng liked young children, but he also knew the priorities and would not touch people with supernatural powers. That's why he brought Xie Qin directly to Jiang Zheng.

Jiang Zheng was stunned for only a moment, and then his expression returned to normal. He arranged for Xie Qin to stay and let Xie Qin choose a team to start the mission. With Jiang Zheng's approval, Xu Wanqing left without staying any longer, taking Xie Qin with her.

Xu Wanqing gently pulled the door back, but did not close it completely. Xie Qin accidentally glanced at the crack in the door and happened to see Jiang Zheng pulling a person out from under the desk with one hand. He was a man who was about her age and not even a hair's breadth away.

Even though Xie Qin was young, she had learned a lot of physiological science. She understood what had just happened, and instantly felt that she had just become a part of this man's play. She felt extremely sick when she thought of the smell she had just smelled in the air. She had a very bad impression of this man named Jiang Zheng.

Suddenly I recalled the first water-type psychic I had ever encountered in the county town. That person was also encountered in a very embarrassing situation. Suddenly I thought, are water-type psychics all very lustful?

However, in her opinion, if she met someone she didn't like, she could drain them dry. After making up her mind, Xie Qin seemed to feel better. If a second-level water-type psychic absorbed two of her water-type psychics, her water-type psychic powers should be able to reach the third level.

Thinking of this, Xie Qin looked up at Xu Wanqing who was walking with him, then shook his head gently, forget it, this person is not annoying, I can let her go. Water-based psychics are very common, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

After a while, the car stopped at a villa below Jiang Zheng's side. The villa here had no courtyard wall, just an ordinary fence. The land in the yard had just been plowed and nothing had been planted yet, but it was cleaned up.

"This building and the two next to it are dormitories. Each building has six rooms. All have separate bedrooms and bathrooms. There are only two girls living here right now. There are four more rooms for you to choose from."

Xie Qin followed him in. The room wasn't decorated well, but it was simple and elegant. It was a rare decent villa that he had seen after the end of the world.

"Where's your luggage?"

"Just this one bag." Xie Qin patted the backpack on his back.

"Don't you have any change of clothes or daily necessities?"

Xie Qin shook his head.

"Forget it, I'll take you to buy it later."

While the two were talking, two women came down from the building. They were not young, about 30 years old. They looked like ordinary people, but one of them was visibly stronger. Xie Qin quietly used his mental power to measure it, and as expected, one was a power-type mutant. The other was an earth-type mutant.

"Just in time for you to come down, let me introduce you to the new member, Zhang Miao." Xu Wanqing introduced Xie Qin to the two of them. It was a new name that Xie Qin had thought of on the spur of the moment, but after hearing it, she was quite used to it.

The two women nodded indifferently at Xie Qin, and Xie Qin also timidly hid behind Xu Wanqing and nodded as a greeting.

When the two women saw that Xie Qin was a little scared, they noticed that Xie Qin was just a little girl. After a closer look, they saw that she was very delicate and fair-skinned, so they thought that they had scared Xie Qin.

He walked closer and smiled at Xie Qin.

"Don't be afraid, little sister. My name is Zheng Yali, a first-level earth-type psychic, and her name is Huang Shanshan, a second-level strength-type psychic."

"Hello, sisters. My name is Zhang Miao, and I'm a first-level water-based mutant." Xie Qin's voice was soft and gentle. Especially for some older women, their maternal love instantly overflowed when they heard it, and their favorable impression of Xie Qin increased a lot.

"We're going to have dinner, do you want to come with us?"

"You guys go first. I'll take Miaomiao to choose a room and come after we put our things away."

"Row."

After the two left, Xie Qin randomly chose a bedroom on the third floor and followed Xu Wanqing to the dining area.

That place is called a canteen, but it is actually the living room of a villa at the back. The living room is empty and a very large long table is placed. There are three aunties cooking. There is a special menu, fixed soups and meat dishes. For stir-fry, you can cook whatever you want. There are many kinds of fresh vegetables.

"In order to facilitate missions and management, all psychics have unified accommodation and meals. Of course, your accommodation and meals are the best in the entire base, and your family members can live in the inner city for free. But since you don't have family members, I can help you apply for 1.5 times the points exchange, which will be useful in the future."

"OK, thanks."

As Xie Qin walked into the cafeteria, everyone's eyes were focused on Xie Qin. First they were amazed, then they were happy. This was a young team, and most of the men were in their twenties or thirties. They were all dressed neatly and respectably, completely different from the people living in the outer city.

These people took the initiative to introduce themselves, but Xie Qin didn't care at all. He was only interested in the two male power users. When it came time to arrange his team, Xie Qin took the initiative to point to one of the second-level power users and said he wanted to be in the same team with him.

Now, Xie Qin had found all the people she was interested in. The two water-type psychics, Jiang Zheng and Xu Wanqing, were both second-level, the three power-type psychics, Huang Shanshan and Tan Xin, were second-level, and the other one, Zeng Lei, was first-level.

These people rest every other day, today is a day off, and tomorrow they will organize people to go out to do the task. Now everyone goes out to hunt zombies and get corpse crystals.

Ordinary people must hand in all the corpse crystals hunted, and the base will give them the food they deserve. However, those with special abilities only need to hand in half, and they can keep the rest for their own use.

Therefore, except for those who are a little timid, these people are basically second-level psychics.

Xie Qin filled a bowl of pork rib soup, ordered a vegetarian dish, and sat next to Xu Wanqing to eat. During this time, Tan Xin also sat next to Xie Qin, smiling and saying that he would protect himself well. Xie Qin nodded obediently and said thank you.

Jiang Zheng arrived halfway through the meal, bringing a man with him. The man was wrapped in a large down jacket, looking very thin. He was wearing a mask and looking at the ground the whole time, not wanting to look at the people around him at all.

But the man's exposed skin was fair, his eyes were beautiful, and his eyelashes were long. He must be a good-looking person.

The man walked with a slight stagger. After taking a closer look, Xie Qin was sure that he was the man who had just hidden under Jiang Zheng's desk. Xie Qin could faintly hear the men around him laughing in a low voice, which sounded somewhat teasing and sarcastic.

But the man still lowered his head as if he didn't hear it. Xie Qin noticed that the man's ears were red, and he must still care about the eyes of these people. It seems that these people all know what this man is doing with Jiang Zheng.

The man came for a short time, and just took Jiang Zheng to the kitchen to get a cardboard box, and then left in a hurry. Xie Qin looked up and saw that it was filled with rice, flour, oil, and some meat.

Xie Qin couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that she knew how to get close to Jiang Zheng.

Jiang Zheng just came to their table to exchange a few pleasantries, and finally patted her shoulder and pinched it. Xie Qin felt a little uncomfortable, but she still resisted the urge to cut his hand. After Jiang Zheng left, Xie Qin moved the shoulder that he pinched.

Xie Qin has never seen the person with thunder ability. Thunder is a rare ability, and everyone knows that he is at the second level. No one has ever seen how powerful a thunder ability is. Xie Qin wants to see it for himself. After all, when all his abilities are upgraded to the third level, he can choose a new ability.

After dinner, Xie Qin didn't plan to let anyone follow him, and just said that he wanted to walk around the base to exchange for some points. After a brief tour of the inner city, Xie Qin went to the outer city.

She wanted to find someone, the man she had just met. Sitting on the steps of the central square, Xie Qin closed her eyes and searched slowly. Two minutes later, Xie Qin smiled knowingly.

"found it!"

Xie Qin stood up and walked slowly towards the residential area in the south of the city. The residential area here is similar to the board houses on the street, but the houses here cannot be used for business, so the price is not high, and it seems that only 6 points are needed per month.

All of them are four-story grid buildings. They are single rooms, but they have toilets. Otherwise, there is nothing. Many of them are families living in one room. But it is much better than the slums. At least it is solid and warm.

This place is full of people, and Xie Qin felt noisy before he even walked in. Although it is a newly built building, it is a bit dirty and messy with so many people living here. Xie Qin frowned and walked to the building next to it, walked up the stairs to the third floor and knocked on the door of the fourth room.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman in her forties, who was neatly dressed and looked respectable.

"You? Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for... him!" Xie Qin said as he looked into the door and saw a man sitting on the bed reading a book. No! To be more precise, it was a teenager.

The young man raised his head and was startled when he saw Xie Qin. He had noticed Xie Qin in the cafeteria in the inner city just now. Because Xie Qin was fair-skinned and about the same age as him, he took a closer look at Xie Qin and remembered his appearance.

But he didn't expect to suddenly appear at his doorstep. You know, few people knew that he was accompanying Jiang Zheng, and even those supernatural people in the inner city had never seen his appearance, let alone knowing his home address.

Xie Qin's sudden appearance made the boy feel uneasy, and his palms were sweating from nervousness. If his mother, grandmother, and sister knew about this, they would definitely be heartbroken.

"You. What are you doing here?"

"I want to talk to you about something." Xie Qin said with a smile.

The young man hurriedly stood up, walked to the door, and grabbed Xie Qin's wrist.

"Let's go out and talk."

Xie Qin was taken downstairs by the young man and stopped at a corner of an open space at the back of the building.

"Yes...Did Jiang Zheng ask you to come to me?" The young man only thought of this possibility.

"No. It's me. I want to ask you for a small favor."

"What do you mean? How did you know I live here?"

"You don't have to worry about how I know that. I just want to tell you that if you are willing to help me, this will be yours." Xie Qin stretched out his hand, holding a small cloth bag containing ten second-level corpse crystals.

The boy naturally knew her and was instantly excited.

"What do you want me to do for you?"

"Next time Jiang Zheng comes to see you, let me go for you."

"You? Are you crazy? He is not a good person. If you go there, something bad will happen."

"Don't worry about the rest. You should wrap yourself up tightly every time you go there, for fear that others will recognize you, right?"

The young man nodded.

"So, when the time comes, you only need to give me your clothes, and don't worry about anything else."

"you sure?"

"Take it. This is a deposit. I'll give you the other half after the deal is done." Xie Qin took out five corpse crystals from the bag and gave them to the young man, and put the remaining five into his pocket.

"the day after tomorrow!"

"So fast?"

"Every time the psychics and the supply team bring back corpse crystals, he's very happy and wants me... So, he'll ask me to go the day after tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the public toilet next to the central square the day after tomorrow morning."
