#1014 - Chapter 1014: Counterattack

"Are you saying Li Cai applied to leave the base a few days ago?!"

Qin Jin asked Liu Wenhao with some surprise.

In the past few days, he had been flying around Guanglin Province on the Hua-28, a large behemoth helicopter, to hunt mutated zombies, even staying overnight at the trading branch in Guanglin Province.

Only after he had hunted the mutated zombie targets there did Qin Jin end his trip to Guanglin Province and return to Green Source headquarters to rest.

During this trip, he successfully hunted 23 mutated zombies based on the information he obtained!

It extended his lifespan by about 4 years!

The wonderful feeling of his body becoming lighter and his strength slowly increasing made him forget the fatigue of running around.

Unfortunately, Guanglin Province has not been completely controlled, and not much information about mutated zombies has been submitted yet.

Of course, Qin Jin also planned to let them raise them for a while, and he could run to Xiang Province and Minnan Province to hunt for a while before returning to harvest here.

Mutated zombies, which were terrifying to ordinary people, became a treasure for him to improve himself.

But Qin Jin, who had just returned to headquarters today, heard a surprising piece of news.

Li Cai had left the base!

"Yes, Li Cai asked me to tell you, thank you for your previous help to the Shanshi Coal Base, and for taking her in here."

"I asked her the reason for leaving. She said she was very happy to see Guangnan Province gradually recovering, but she wanted to see the wider world, even if this world is no longer the same as before."

"She exchanged all the contribution points she had saved up for some food and equipment, and left on a motorcycle."

"I asked her where she wanted to go. She only said she wanted to see farther places and didn't have a clear destination yet, but maybe she would go north first."

Liu Wenhao didn't hide anything and told Qin Jin everything Li Cai had told him.

As the transportation captain who frequently ran to the Shanshi Coal Base at the beginning of last year, Captain Liu has maintained a good relationship with Li Cai, so naturally he became the messenger between Li Cai and President Qin.

"......"

Qin Jin was silent for a moment.

He couldn't understand why Li Cai would make such a decision.

Isn't it good to be in the thriving Green Source base?

Why run out to live a wandering life?

Couldn't understand.

But he didn't ask Captain Liu to chase her back.

There was no need.

This woman once occupied a very important position in his heart, but as time passed and with the various experiences of this rebirth, he had long since diluted Li Cai's shadow.

He now has Zhao Ling as his girlfriend.

Although Zhao Ling had repeatedly told him that she didn't mind him having multiple female partners, Qin Jin had no plans to live the life of an ancient emperor with three wives and four concubines for the time being.

The matter of men and women is indeed very tempting.

But the pleasure brought by extending lifespan is not much weaker than it, and even surpasses it to some extent.

This led to Qin Jin not feeling lonely even with only one partner.

Which made countless young girls and young women outside extremely disappointed and heartbroken.

"Let it be."

In the end, Qin Jin sighed and only said this sentence.

"I have told Li Cai that she can go to the local Green Source trading outposts if she needs anything, and we always welcome her back here."

"Or, if necessary, we can mobilize people to find her back at any time."

Captain Liu didn't know the specific situation between Qin Jin and Li Cai, so he had to say this after hearing him sigh.

Qin Jin shook his head and waved his hand to indicate no need.

This matter came to an end.

"By the way, is that little team leader named Li Shenglin doing better? I remember he seemed to have suffered a serious injury in the last Prison-style base attack and was treated in the base for a long time."

After finishing talking about Li Cai, Qin Jin suddenly thought of another name.

Li Shenglin.

If he remembered correctly, this man was the first person Green Source opened its arms to welcome into the base, right?

More than a year has passed without realizing it.

So fast.

Green Source is also many times stronger than it was then.

Qin Jin vaguely remembered that this Li Shenglin was caught by the giant leader in the last battle to destroy the Prison-style base, causing quite serious injuries, and was rescued after an emergency rescue.

As a small cadre and a level 4 personnel, he was naturally transferred back to the headquarters hospital for higher-level recuperation.

Of course, personnel of this level are not yet qualified for Qin Jin to take out miraculous medicines like regenerative fluid for treatment.

At this time, more than a month has passed, and normal medical methods should be able to cure him.

"Li Shenglin is indeed much better, but some of his fractures have not fully recovered. It is expected that it will take some time to fully recover. He was mainly grabbed and hit in many places by that giant, causing serious injuries to his body."

Captain Liu was quite clear about the situation of this little team leader under his command, and said what Qin Jin wanted to know without much thought.

Qin Jin nodded.

The two continued to talk about the recent development situation and past events, and for a while, they all sighed that they never thought they would encounter the apocalypse, and they never thought they would create such a new era family in the end.

The perspective shifts to the branch base.

Medical Building.

One of the wards.

Li Shenglin, the protagonist of Qin Jin and Captain Liu's conversation just now, was standing in front of the window looking at the white clouds in the sky with a look of loneliness.

From his eyes, which had lost most of their light, it could be seen that his mood was not good at this time.

"Sigh——"

After a long time, he sighed.

"Brother Li, don't stand there for so long, go back to bed and rest, your injury is not completely healed, the doctor told you to rest more to recover faster."

Not far from Li Shenglin, Xiao Cong was holding a sugar cane and gnawing on it with relish.

This was a good thing he had exchanged from the base using his contribution points.

As a class leader-level small cadre, Xiao Cong also gets some contribution points every week. After solving the problem of food and clothing, he even has a surplus to occasionally exchange for some fruits and snacks released by the base to satisfy his cravings.

Now that he has no mission, he just happened to bring the fruit that was originally for Brother Li, but the person in question hasn't eaten it yet, but he took it and gnawed on it first.

Sure enough, nothing's changed.

Li Shenglin's eyes twitched and he didn't respond to him, but he didn't insist, and slowly moved back to the bed to lie down and rest.

Xiao Cong, who had gnawed on half of the sugar cane and had a great time, handed the remaining to Brother Li with lingering interest, and then opened his mouth to comfort him:

"Don't be sad, A Cai must not be ready yet! After she sees the outside world, she will definitely find that Brother Li is the most suitable man for her! Brother Li is a level 4 personnel, and also the captain of the Green Source combat unit, and there is still a chance to hit the position of the squadron leader and the level 5 personnel!".

Xiao Cong exaggeratedly "comforted" Brother Li, completely unaware of the inappropriateness in his words.

"......"

"Pa——"

Li Shenglin was not polite and directly punched this old buddy in the arm to interrupt his attempt to act cute.

When Li Cai came to them a few days ago to explain that she was leaving, they were all very shocked.

But facing Li Cai, who was determined to leave, no matter how they tried to persuade her, they couldn't change her mind.

Even later, when Li Shenglin was alone with Li Cai, he finally confessed the feelings that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, but he could only get a good person card in return.

Brother Li still doesn't understand that he was just being sentimental.

Dream shattered.

"Don't say those things, haven't you and A Zhen recently confirmed your relationship! When will you apply to the base for a marriage certificate! I will collect points for you to apply for a separate house!"

Saying that, Li Shenglin turned the tables on him.
