Chapter 104 (Milk Candy)
Qian Ci's voice curled in the wind and floated far away, Li Sheng, who was standing behind the crowd watching, swallowed: "I was so stupid before that I thought she would only squeeze her head, captain, we really took the lead. Come back baby, captain..."
When he turned around, the person beside him was nowhere to be seen.
Li Sheng looked around and had to trot to find someone.
In the encirclement, before everyone regained their senses, Gu Chaochao stood up: "Is there anyone who refuses to accept it? I'm in a good mood now, and I'm willing to accept the challenge.
" Dissatisfied?
"If no one challenges me, I'll just leave." Gu Chaochao's smile faded and he glanced at the people who were making fun of her, "If I see anyone who dares to slander me in the future, don't do it. Blame me for being rude."
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
Qian Ci quickly followed: "Why are you going, this is not the direction to the dormitory."
"Look for Shen Mushen." After leaving the crowd, Gu Chaochao's face sank.
Qian Ci suddenly said: "He should be in the office now, you can't find him when you go to the checkpoint."
Gu Chaochao stopped abruptly: "Where is the office?"
"The building diagonally ahead, the room at the end of the second floor," Qian Ci Saying that, he hurriedly followed, "I'll accompany you there, by the way, do you have anything to do with the captain?"
"Find him to settle the bill." Gu Chaochao gritted his teeth.
Qian Ci braked suddenly: "Well, that, I still have something to do, you can go by yourself..."
After that, he hurried away.
Gu Chaochao continued to walk forward with a sullen face, and quickly came to the door of the office according to Qian Ci's instructions. She kicked the door open, ignoring A Jun and Li Sheng in the room, and rushed directly in front of Shen Mushen: "Give it to me. Meal card, you expected today, right?"
Shen Mu looked up at her deeply: "Yes."
"...But you still gave me the card, just to watch them push me out and isolate me, and watch them trouble me?" Gu Chaochao trembled with anger, his eyes turned red uncontrollably, "Shen Mushen, you Your heart is too bad!"
"I have warned you in advance, and you accepted it. From the beginning to the end, I didn't force you..." Before Shen Mushen could finish her words, she saw her tears fall. No sound.
Gu Chaochao was very annoyed by his physique that was prone to crying. After wiping his eyes, he took the meal card out of his pocket and slapped it on the table.
Snapped!
There were several clear cracks on the desk. Li Sheng twitched the corners of his mouth, silently shrinking into a quail in the corner.
"I'll return your meal card to you. I'll starve to death in the future, and I won't use yours again!" After Gu Chaochao finished speaking, he left angrily.
The office was quiet again.
Li Shenggan laughed: "No, it's nothing, we'll go first."
After speaking, he went out. Halfway through, he found that A Jun was still standing in the same place, so he quickly went back and pulled him to force him out. After walking out of the office, Li Sheng couldn't help but look back, only to see Shen Mushen sitting calmly behind the desk, as if Gu Chaochao's presence didn't bother him at all.
After walking a long way, Li Shengcai sighed: "The captain really went too far this time, how could he bully girls like this." He had heard of those rumors, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Today, when he saw Gu Chaochao's rage, he realized that he was against her. How much damage.
"It's really inappropriate, what do you think?" He sighed again, turned his head and asked Ah Jun.
Ah Jun was quiet before speaking lightly: "The rumors about the base have been around since the first day she came."
"What do you mean?" Li Sheng frowned.
"Clarification by strength is the easiest and most direct way," A Jun glanced at him. "From today onwards, no one will dare to slander her."
After speaking, he left.
Li Sheng still didn't quite understand it, but when he saw Qian Ci sneaking around nearby, he immediately pulled people over to ask.
After Qian Ci heard everything he said, he suddenly said: "The captain is really hardworking!"
"...How come you are so hardworking?" Li Sheng was speechless, "Clearly the captain explained, or just put on a ring, you have to To intensify the conflict and let those people dance in front of Gu Chaochao, isn't it not for the near and far?"
"What do you know, the tester still doesn't know when it will be repaired, and the level of Chaochao has not been measured for a day, those people will have something to say one day, no matter if the captain comes out. Explain, or set the stage, they can all say that they colluded in advance, it is better to let those who are not convinced go to Chaochao in person." Qian Ci explained slowly.
After listening to Li Sheng, he suddenly realized: "That said, the captain is really heartbroken."
"But there is also a little bad, ignoring that Chaochao is a little girl." Qian Ci sighed.
Li Sheng suddenly remembered Gu Chaochao's red eyes just now, and nodded in agreement: "Indeed,
I'm only nineteen, I guess I just went to college before the virus broke out." Zhou and the others are so ugly," Qian Ci recalled the scene at the time, and couldn't help but speak for Gu Chaochao, "Some slander is nothing for a man, but it's too much for a woman, that maliciousness is really...
" Looking at him, Li Sheng was about to say something when Qian Ci suddenly stood up straight: "Team, captain, when did you come?"
Shen Mu glanced at him indifferently and walked forward unhurriedly.
When passing by the two of them, he paused slightly: "Since you said I didn't think about it."
Qian Ci: "..." On the
other side, Gu Chaochao angrily ran back to the dormitory, lay down on the bed and started thinking about quitting the mercenary army matter.
If she insists on withdrawing, with Shen Mushen's style, she should not be forced to stay, nor will she be driven out of the base, she can live in the base like other ordinary people.
But there is one thing, once she quits, she will move out of the current dormitory, and return all the food card and materials, and find a new place to live and work. According to what she knew about the base, with a food intake like hers, at least four times as much work as an ordinary person would be required to make a living, not to mention the rent...
Gu Chaochao tossed and turned until it was pitch dark, and finally he quit. Danggu, or she will not retire for the time being, and her backbone will not be enough to eat. Now her life is more important than anything else.
...But if you still stay in the mercenary army, you have to listen to Shen Mushen, which is too embarrassing. When Gu Chaochao was swaying from side to side, there was a sudden knock on the door.
She looked stunned: "Who?"
"It's me, Ellie," a warm voice sounded outside the door, "Open the door quickly."
Gu Chaochao paused, got up and opened the door.
"Darling!" Ellie opened her arms and hugged her, and started kissing her face, "I'm sorry, I've made you feel wronged, I'm here to apologize to you. It's all my fault for being so indifferent to you!"
Gu Chaochao was almost stunned by her kiss, seeing that she kept going, he hurriedly escaped.
Allie's arms were empty, and she fixed her eyes on Gu Chaochao's hiding in the corner, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Right! With such a strong strength, how can I think that you came in by the wind from your pillow! Baby, do you want to join in? My No. 3 team, usually do missions with me?"
"...I'll think about it first." Gu Chaochao perfunctory. She hasn't decided whether to stay in the mercenary or not.
Allie was suddenly sad when she heard the words: "Are you still angry with me? I'm sorry, I apologize to you, will I invite you to dinner tomorrow?"
"I'm not angry." Gu Chaochao answered sincerely. After all, she looked like she had entered the army by sleeping men. It's not surprising that those who joined the army after a series of selections would look down on her, so there is nothing to be angry about.
Allie sighed when she heard the words: "Actually, there were rumors a long time ago, but I believed the captain's judgment at first. Who would have thought that within a few days, someone would see the captain give you a meal and lent the meal card to you. You..."
Although now it seems that it is the captain's behavior of cherishing talents, but at the time, it was more like a gift from a man to a woman.
Gu Chaochao heard the meaning of her words, and couldn't help but start grinding his teeth: "Yes, if the captain hadn't given me a meal card, there would not have been so many misunderstandings."
"Forget it, don't talk about it," Ellie smiled. Laughing, "You think about what I just said first, and don't reject me for the time being, okay?"
"Well, I see." Facing girls, Gu Chaochao couldn't help but look pleasant.
Allie squeezed her face and turned away.
Gu Chaochao touched the place she had pinched, closed the door and went back to the bed to lie down.
As soon as she lay down, she heard a knock on the door again: "Open the door." The
voice was so familiar that Gu Chaochao recognized it even when it turned into ashes. She immediately asked angrily, "What if I don't open it?"
However, it was quiet outside. people respond.
Is this gone? Gu Chaochao hesitated for a while, but in the end he couldn't help but jump out of bed. He originally wanted to open the door a crack to take a peek, but as soon as the door was opened, a force hit, and Shen Mushen came in directly.
"Hey..." Gu Chaochao didn't finish complaining.
Shen Mushen had already closed the door.
"What do you want to do?" Gu Chaochao was annoyed.
Shen Mu looked at her white and tender face and was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Come to apologize."
Gu Chaochao was stunned for a while, but after reacting, he looked strange: "Why are you so crazy?"
"I'll apologize." Shen Mu Looking at her deeply and peacefully.
Gu Chaochao looked at him for a long time, then asked back with arms folded, "What's wrong with you?"
"The implementation of the plan did not take into account that your gender will cause you to suffer more malice," Shen Mushen paused for a moment after speaking, "It's my fault."
"What plan, is it a plan to give me a meal card?" Gu Chaochao asked, holding back fire , Seeing that he did not deny it, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you want to get through this plan? Others' rejection of me?"
"It's respect." Shen Mu looked at her deeply, her deep-sea-like eyes calm and unwavering.
Gu Chaochao was stunned.
"Forcing those gossiping people to stand in front of you, use your strength to solve all the gossips at once, and get everyone's respect," Shen Mushen said quietly, "I ignored your feelings during the process, but now Look, the effect has been achieved."
Gu Chaochao was stunned, and he almost cried angrily: "Shen Mushen, are you ill? If you didn't deliberately act to make people misunderstood, they would look at me like this and dislike me?"
"They didn't dance. Just in front of you, doesn't mean the rumors don't exist." Shen Mushen's expression was cold.
Gu Chaochao was stunned, and suddenly remembered what Ellie had just said, there were similar rumors a long time ago.
"Maybe most people will ignore those rumors for the time being because they believe me, but when I'm done with these days and start arranging your training, staying together all day will be misunderstood, and it will only make it worse. It's ugly, it will explode one day, and even if you show your strength, they will say that I gave you something, the ability to forcibly catalyze it, it is better to advance this explosive point to a controllable time, and use the easiest way to completely Solve it."
Gu Chaochao was stunned for a while, and his wet eyes looked at him in confusion.
Like an undefended deer.
Shen Mushen's eyes softened slightly: "More dangerous than the waves are the reefs and whirlpools hidden below."
After he finished speaking, the room was completely silent.
I don't know how long it took, Gu Chaochao finally came back to his senses: "...I haven't seen the world, I don't know how to refute you, but your behavior makes me uncomfortable, I have the right to be angry, even if your starting point is good of."
"Well." Shen Mu nodded deeply in agreement.
Gu Chaochao waited patiently, but after he finished speaking the word, he was completely silent.
She was speechless for a while: "Then what?"
"I apologize." Shen Mu looked at her deeply.
Gu Chaochao glanced at him awkwardly: "A verbal apology, can it be more insincere?"
Shen Mushen heard the words and took out a meal card from his combat uniform: "You can spend three months."
"...I don't care. Gu Chaochao actually wanted it very much, but her pride reminded her that when she threw this card on Shen Mushen's table a few hours ago, she clamored that she would starve to death and would not use him again.
Shen Mushen watched her expression gradually become tangled, and the corners of her lips gradually raised a happy arc.
In fact, before he gave her the meal card, he had already made it clear to her that taking the meal card would lead to trouble, and she understood his express, so in his opinion, the moment she received it, they had reached an agreement, What she encounters is what she deserves, even if he doesn't consider her gender, he doesn't have to apologize and explain.
But he still came.
Shen Mushen was silent for a moment, then extended his right fist to her.
"What, want to hit me?" Gu Chaochao took a step back.
Spread the palm up, revealing the three milk candies inside.
Gu Chaochao's eyes lit up: "You actually have candy?!"
"There's only so much." It was found in the corner of a supermarket when he was on a mission last time. He didn't like sweets, so he kept three pieces and the rest They were all divided up for the team members, and they didn't take care of them after they brought them back to their residences.
Gu Chaochao took them all rudely, peeled off one and stuffed it into his mouth, the sweet milk smell immediately spread throughout his mouth.
She squinted her eyes contentedly: "It seems that you are still a little human." In the end times, she still knows how precious a piece of candy is.
Shen Mushen's eyes swept around her lips: "Is it in a good mood?"
Gu Chaochao is not hypocritical, and after he understands the truth, he is no longer angry, and hums softly: "Well."
"The day after tomorrow, every night will begin. Come to the playground, I'll teach you fighting skills." After Shen Mushen finished speaking, she turned and left.
Gu Chaochao twitched the corner of his mouth and muttered softly, "I haven't said whether I want to stay in the mercenary army or not." But she said so, in fact, she has already made up her mind whether to stay or not.
After a good night's sleep, when she woke up again, the attitude of the entire base towards her was better than before. And what she was talking about in the past actually included the time when you first came to the base and everyone maintained the surface peace.
Compared with today, she realized that before everyone was peaceful, it was clearly alienation. The so-called politeness was also mixed with contempt and temptation, but she was too slow to realize it.
It was only now that she was truly accepted by the base.
Gu Chaochao expressed his understanding. After all, resources are in short supply in the apocalypse. One more person and one more person will eat less. She joined the mercenary army with excellent benefits without showing any strength, even if the person who recruited her It is Shen Mushen, and it will also cause many people to be dissatisfied.
So she was not the only one who was despised during this time, but Shen Mushen never said anything about it.
Gu Chaochao touched his nose, swiped his meal card in the cafeteria, and found that the amount given by that person yesterday had been credited.
I have to say that the second-class quota is a lot, and it has been used for ten days, and half of the rest is enough for her to eat for five days. You must know that her five-day meal is worth half a month.
Gu Chaochao suddenly remembered what Shen Mushen had said before that there was only a fourth-class quota for the fourth class, and he began to think about whether to find a way to improve his level.
Just when she was thinking seriously, Ellie suddenly ran over: "Chaochao, I'll treat you today!"
Gu Chaochao's eyes lit up: "Okay!" He
immediately took Ellie's card and swiped ten buns and three bowls of soup. Ellie's mouth twitched, but she still bought her another drumstick.
"Thank you." Gu Chaochao sincerely thanked one bun in one hand.
Allie sighed: "I met the captain just now and told him that he wanted you to come to me, but he refused."
"Why?" Gu Chaochao was puzzled.
"He said that you haven't been trained yet, and you won't be able to perform tasks in a short time," Ellie shrugged, "but I don't think you need training at all, you are already the strongest...the second strongest person in the base."
No, that's it. the strongest. Thinking of Shen Mushen who beat her by cheating, Gu Chaochao snorted softly.
What Ellie thought of, she divided the bread on her plate: "The captain said that he will start training you tomorrow night, you eat more, then you will be more patient."
Gu Chaochao paused: "Is there a lot of training? "
How should I say, it's not a matter of the amount of training, but he has a heavy hand. The first-class soldiers at the base have all been specially trained by him, and they are tossed to the death every time," Ellie smiled mysteriously. "We did some research and thought that he might have been abstinent for too long and had suffocated him. He was a bit manic, and he could only vent his energy by beating people."
Gu Chaochao: "..."
Ellie said with a nose and eyes, but Gu Chaochao I didn't take it seriously, after all, I had played with him before, so I felt nothing terrible.
However, on the day of training, she realized that the previous Shen Mushen didn't use any skills on her.
After being thrown to the ground by him again, Gu Chaochao stared straight at the sky, collapsed on the ground and gave up his resistance completely.
"This is not going to work?" Shen Mushen knelt down beside her on one knee, with one hand clasping her neck.
Gu Chaochao was speechless for a long time, and finally looked at him sincerely: "Captain, it's been two hours, can we continue tomorrow?"
"It's only two hours." Shen Mu's tone was calm.
The use of the word 'cai' is very subtle. Gu Chaochao stared at him for a long time and asked seriously, "Then how long are you going to beat me up?"
"The others train for five hours at a time, you," Shen Mushen stared at her. , "Six."
Gu Chaochao: "..." In
other words, he would be beaten for four more hours, and the iron humanoid weapon couldn't stand it.
Gu Chaochao sighed and looked at him resignedly: "Captain, why don't I give you some sleep, let's vent our energy in another way."
