Rebirth In The Apocalypse: Start By Building The Strongest Base

Through the crack in the door, Qin Jin clearly saw the person inside!

Even with the dim lighting, he could still discern the slender figure of the person facing away from him.

Could it actually be her?

At this moment, the person was facing away from him, rustling and fiddling with something.

He wasn't going to waste any time. He directly pushed open the gym door and reached out to turn on the light switch next to it.

Snap—

The gym lit up with bright lights, shattering the darkness and illuminating everything.

The person inside quickly turned to look at the door, clearly startled, seemingly not expecting anyone to come in at this time and see her like this.

Qin Jin stared at the person in front of him, his gaze slightly cold, his body tense and ready to take action at any moment. With a stern tone, he questioned her:

"Manager Zhao Ling, do you need to explain why you're here?!"

"And take out what you're hiding behind your back."

That's right.

After Qin Jin, the base leader, left, the person who appeared in the gym was none other than Zhao Ling, one of the base's managers!

Zhao Ling was stunned.

She hadn't expected that after the boss left, she would come out of the room where she was hiding and, after walking to the gym for a short while, be caught by the boss returning!

What to do!?

She was anxious.

Faced with the boss's questioning, she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

She was also too embarrassed to take out the sweat towel behind her back.

It was just too shameful!

Her mind raced, and not knowing how much the boss had seen, her face flushed red, and she could only helplessly quibble:

"President Qin, it's nothing. I just happened to have something to come here to find you. I didn't expect there to be no one inside. I was just about to leave when you arrived, giving me a fright."

Qin Jin listened to her far-fetched excuse, looking at her flushed face, her slightly sweaty forehead, and the hands she was protecting behind her back, refusing to take them out.

He sneered.

He wouldn't be fooled by this kind of excuse.

He decided to expose Zhao Ling, tear down all her protective shells, make her reveal her secrets, and eliminate this deeply hidden ticking time bomb.

Perhaps, when necessary, he would have to resort to some means?

He didn't know if she had any accomplices.

He wouldn't pretend anymore, preparing to directly point out Zhao Ling's biggest flaw in this situation.

That was the secret base information hidden behind her back!

As long as he took it out, all her quibbles would be shattered!

What a good spy!

To think she was hidden so deeply!

He coldly said to this base manager:

"Manager Zhao, since it's nothing, then take out what's behind you."

Zhao Ling panicked.

How could she take out something like that!?

It was super embarrassing!

Her face was unsightly, and the sweat on her forehead became even more profuse, unable to stop even in this cold weather. She made a final resistance, saying:

"President Qin, can I not take it out? It's really not anything important."

Her hands gripped even tighter behind her back.

Seeing this, Qin Jin became even more convinced of his judgment.

What a hidden element!

I, Qin 'Charlotte' Jin, have caught you!

He wore a victor's sneer, looking down at the woman in front of him and said:

"Manager Zhao, I advise you not to struggle in vain. Take it out. Since you've done something like this, then you should know what the consequences will be. Do you dare to do it, but not dare to admit it?"

Consequences?

Zhao Ling was a little dazed.

What consequences would there be for doing such a shameful thing?

If it was found out, wouldn't she be laughed to death!?

She was one of the dignified base managers, but she was actually this kind of person. How could she face anyone after others found out!?

She was still making a final struggle.

"President Qin, do you really have to take it out?"

Qin Jin continued to press.

"Yes!"

"Are you sure you want to!?"

"Sure!"

Zhao Ling had no choice. It seemed she couldn't avoid it today. Might as well die. Anyway, it's the end of the world. If it really came down to it, she'd carry a space shuttle and hide on the moon.

"Okay, I'll take it out."

Seeing Zhao Ling finally compromise, Qin Jin once again revealed a victor's cruel smile.

Let him see it. With the evidence in hand, what else could she say.

Zhao Ling finally compromised.

She gave up resisting, her eyes no longer daring to meet Qin Jin's, looking at the floor, her face as red as an apple. Her hands unwillingly reached out from behind her and handed it to the boss.

Qin Jin's eyes flashed with a sharp light, gathering all his eyesight, staring at the other party's every move, preventing the other party's resistance, and looking at Zhao Ling's evidence of guilt brought to the front——

—A towel!

Uh.

A towel!?

What's the situation!?

Why is it a towel!?

Qin Jin was dumbfounded.

Where's the secret information I wanted to see? Or weapons, anything?

What the hell is this towel?

Masaka!

Could it be something Zhao Ling used to cover it up!?

There must be other things hidden under the towel!

"Put down the towel! Take out the real thing inside! You can't fool me!"

What?

Zhao Ling was also confused.

She really only had a sweat-soaked towel in her hand?

Did President Qin misunderstand something?

She didn't know how to answer the boss for a moment. Since she had already been discovered, then there was nothing she could do.

She had no choice but to admit the fact that she was a fujoshi.

She gently placed the towel in her right hand on the treadmill next to her, raised two empty, white palms, and displayed them in front of Qin Jin.

Her face flushed red, she lowered her head, not daring to look at her boss, her body twisting, and said in a mosquito-like voice:

"President Qin, I'm very sorry for taking your towel. I won't dare to do it again in the future."

What?

Qin Jin looked at her empty hands, and there was really nothing but a towel. He was also dumbfounded.

"No!? How could there only be a towel!? What were you doing hiding nearby before? What's going on!?"

He couldn't help but continue to ask. Now it was his turn to not understand. What was Zhao Ling doing in the gym with his towel?

And she really was hiding before, he didn't feel wrong, right?

Then what was she doing in the gym?

Zhao Ling raised her head and glanced at the boss, then quickly lowered her head like a thief, a pair of watery eyes looking at the floor, her hands pinching the corners of her shirt, her face red and said:

"I just came over to get your clothes or towel, that's all."

She also guessed that the matter of often taking the boss's clothes before couldn't be concealed, so she directly admitted it.

Might as well die, I don't want this face today.

Taking clothes and towels??

What the hell?

Wait??

Qin Jin suddenly remembered the matter of his clothes often disappearing recently. He looked at the pretty woman in front of him and couldn't help but continue to ask:

"The clothes I've been missing recently were all taken by you?"

Zhao Ling secretly glanced at the boss, her face even more flushed, what she had done before was still completely exposed, since there was no way, she could only confess.

She gently nodded her head, indicating her admission.

Qin Jin shouted in his heart: Holy crap!

The thief who stole the clothes turned out to be Zhao Ling in front of him!

Case closed!
