A few of the smarter girls stared at each other. In the end, no one said anything. Regardless of whether they went to that base, they would still have to travel for a long distance. Moreover they were a group of women, no matter where they go they wouldn’t be safe.

  A small base didn’t have any guarantees or protections. It would be hard to avoid having some people see them as woman and trying to mistreat them. Yet being a prisoner, an exclusive property, a situation like that is still a lot better than this.

  If they were to head to the big base, they really would have a lot more guarantee. However, they were all weak women and ordinary as well. Some of them were even a bit delirious. If they were to go to the big base, with the distance so large, how many would even survive the trek and actually arrive there?

  Being able to survive and not go mentally insane would require the person to be not only smart, but have a high perseverance. With those conclusions, everyone understood clearly but no one said anything.

  No one would take on this kind of mission to bring around a group of useless women.

  Especially since within the group, a good number of them had already gone crazy. They would only drag them down. You only need to be a bit intelligent to know that bringing these women along was not a wise choice.

  Yan Ruru felt a bit awkward as she looked towards Shao Qing. She also understood this point. Thus even though she pitied these women, she didn’t bring up taking them along.

  If they were close to the base and she only had her superhuman squad then she might have been willing to say those words, but she was currently on a mission. Yan Pingsheng was her employer and she was only a hired mercenary. As a result, this was a decision she absolutely could not make.

  Shao Qing was quiet for a long time, then she faced Yan Ruru and said: “Bring them out to look for Yan Pingsheng.”


  This kind of headache was best handed over to Yan Pingsheng. After all, Yan Pingsheng is the employer; thus, it would be best to have him make the decision.

  Yan Ruru nodded her head and let out a sigh. After dressing the women in clothes, they brought them out. Yan Pingsheng had already found the warehouse. While he was in the middle of commanding people to move the things, by his side, there were a couple of bound captives. Although the things they were carrying out were quite a lot, his face didn’t look happy at all.

  Walking over, Shao Qing realized that the thing this warehouse had the most of were corpses. After being washed cleanly, these corpses were hollowed out of their organs and had their heads chopped off. After using salt water to soak them, they were split from the middle as if they were slaughtering a pig and were then hung on a hook.

  A row on the left and a row on the right, there were at least fifty to sixty corpses hanging here. Some were tall – mostly likely to be adult males, while some were tiny and most likely not adults yet. It’s no wonder why Yan Pingsheng’s face was so unsightly. Anyone who saw this kind of tragedy would have an unpleasant face.

  Seeing the captive beside Yan Pingsheng, they began to fume with rage between their gritted teeth. However, since Shao Qing and them didn’t say anything, those women also didn’t dare to rashly do anything.

  However a woman of about thirty with a rather good figure threw herself forward. With disheveled hair, she threw herself forward and bit onto one of those peoples’ throat. Everyone present was able to clearly hear that blood-curdling shriek and the blood pouring into her throat.

  Gu Lu, Gu Lu.

  Another woman without delay rushed to say: “Please do not be angry. Her little sister while she was still carrying a baby, by this man was…… after that event, that man even cut open her dead sister’s belly to take out the child to see it’s gender. Afterwards he fed the child to the wolves. It was from that day that she became crazy.”


  Shao Qing originally wasn’t angry. Using her vines she dragged the still living captives over. Pulling one at a time she asked these women: “Alive or dead.”


  Those captives unceasingly begged for forgiveness and promised to repent. However the women were determined: “These kinds of animals, killing them is letting them off easy!”


  Taking these captives, in front of these women, Shao Qing separated their bodies into pieces. Yet, no one there thought she was being cruel.

  Having seen everything that has happened at this stronghold, everyone thought they should die for their crime.

  After carrying the things out and burying the marinated corpse, Yan Pingsheng fiercely said: “I have to burn this place down to get rid of my fury!”


  “Let’s resolve their issue first.” After simply explaining their history, Shao Qing gave the crucial problem over to Yan Pingsheng: “Right now they have nowhere to go. Since you are the employer, what do you say we do?”


  Yan Pingsheng’s eyes widened, a bit stupefied. Shao Qing had really given him a difficult situation. No matter how they dealt with these women it would be a problem. If they let them run their own course, their conscience wouldn’t be able to forgive themselves. Bringing them along however would be too risky since there’s so many unpredictable dangers. In fact, if by any chance they do run into any accidents, these women would only drag them down.

  Then Meng Shen suddenly spoke up: “I suggest we bring them. What do our two captains think? Although, I am the employer, I also highly value your advice.”


  “I have no opinion.” Yan Ruru quickly added.

  Shao Qing took a glance at these women, then looked at Meng Shen in a different light. She indifferently replied: “If we are bringing you guys, then you guys have to take responsibility for preparing meals and cleaning. Other than that I have no opinion.

  Those women were all surprised and quickly nodded their heads enthusiastically. Why would they have any other opinions? They were only extremely grateful for Shao Qing. Shao Qing made them feel that they still were still of use.

  “Then we’ll bring them. In any case, it’s just 6 women. Yan Jie will bring three and I will bring three.” Shao Qing replied calmly. “Has everything been moved? If they have, then let’s head off.”


  “Ok.” Yan Pingsheng nodded his head. The group of people then set off. Right before they did, Yan Ruru started a fire. It was only when they all bared witness to that wretched place being burnt to a crisp did they depart.

  These women were secretly wiping their tears. They had suffered so much at that place. Losing their loved ones, they had nothing at all.

  From her spatial dimension, Shao Qing took out some clothing to allow them to change out of the shabby rags that barely covered their bodies. Shao Tong even brought some special medication to treat their wounds. After being thanked, she turned completely pink.

  After taking in these women, they entered the small town. Reportedly on a regular day, these women had to go with several regular people to water and take care of the vegetable garden. Thus, they were very familiar with the route.

  Bringing some people along, Yan Pingsheng had them harvest the ready vegetables and definitely made quite a gain. Although in a bit they would be able to eat a fresh meal, no one was exactly happy.

  Everything they had seen today was just too heavy. How could anyone bring themselves to smile.

  Within the ranks, the women felt quite apprehensive. No matter the job, they would scramble to do it. For example, starting the fire or cooking. Shao Qing never stopped them because she knew that doing these things would allow their hearts to rest easy.

  “Leave the cooking to Han Qing. His skill is amazing. You guys are already tired from the day. Go take a rest.” Shao Qing allowed her vines to retract the thorns to form a wooden bench shape. After making a row, if one were to sit on them it would even be a bit bouncy and cool and comfortable to the butt.

  Er Dai was waiting on the side for the meal to be served. The three women feeling embarrassed only sat down after they set up the chopsticks and bowls. Seeing them all worried, Shao Qing didn’t say anything more. In such a short time, it was impossible for them to relax so quickly.

  “Auntie, some candy.” Xiao Baozi taking small strides with his short legs offered candy to the women. Blinking with his enormous eyes, it was cute to death.

  The three woman grabbed the candy. One of them was the one who had threw herself forward before biting off the throat of the man. At that moment she was so fierce with red eyes madly biting on to the man, but now she was like a little child. At a loss of what to do, she held on to the candy and then finally gently patted Xiao Baozi’s head.

  Her movement was especially tender, very careful. It was as if she was scared if she put in even a little bit more strength she might injure Xiao Baozi.Please

  Another mentally conscious women couldn’t help ask: “Is this your child? So cute.”


  “You don’t have to say you. Calling me by name is fine. My name is Shao Qing.” Shao Qing replied quietly. “This is my son.”


  “What’s his name?” The women felt they were inconveniencing her by asking: “He really is so cute. I really like him. My name is Xiang Ru. She is Zhang Xiaofen and that one is Tao Jingjing.”


  Shao Qing froze. It was then that she had realized she had always just called him baby or darling. Up to now she had never given Xiao Baozi a proper name……

  With deciding a name being such a big event, it required her to rally carefully decide, to polish it over and over…… Of course, to a person who is a cripple at coming up with names, trying to decide a name was even harder than fighting a rank 4 zombie.

  Actually…… I haven’t given him a name yet…… That phrase was something Shao Qing couldn’t say. Finally she vaguely replied: “His nickname is Bao Bao (baby/darling). You guys can just call him Baobao.”


  “Bao Bao?” Xiang Ru cautiously asked: “May I kiss him……”


  Before Shao Qing could reply, Xiao Baozi already took the initiative to move over and making a big smooching sound kissed Xiang Ru. Xing Ru cupper her face, unbelievably happy.Please support this novel by reading at

  Shao Qing couldn’t help but have her lips lift up into a smile. Lifting Xiao Baozi up , she tilted the side of her face towards Xiao Baozi. Xiao Baozi immediately pounced over and gave her a mouthful of smooches.

  Xiang Ru sad down by the side, completely envious. After quite a while did she lightly laugh and say: “Having such a precious treasure beside you, you really are blessed.”


  ”En……”Shao Qing’s eyes became gentle. Xiao Baozi was her life’s biggest strength and motivation.

  The cleverest housewife can’t cook without rice. Since there were limited ingredients, the things Yan Hanqing could make was also limited. Now that there was a richer amount of source, in one instance he made six dishes and a soup. Although they were all vegetable dishes, they smelled, looked, and tasted great. It would make anyone’s mouth water.

  A ring of people eating dinner caused Yan Pingsheng at the side to start drooling. After all, between chefs there are still differences in ability. The chef on their side compared to Yan Hanqing was like comparing a beginner with someone who has gone through systematic schooling.

  Those women were hesitant to begin eating. Taking one bowl after another, Shao Qing filled it with rice and passed it over to them and even placed some vegetables inside: “There’s lots of dishes. Take it yourself. Only after you have eaten will you have enough energy to clean up.”


  After eating dinner, they didn’t continue on their journey. Instead, they decided to stay in the small town for the time being to rest and reorganize. At least the small town was rather tidy and few zombies were around. Following the streets they were even able to find a three story building to rest for the night.

  These days of constantly being on the move, if one said they weren’t tired it would be a lie. After all, the thing that is tired isn’t just your body. There’s also the high amount of alertness they had to have constantly. Being able to rest for a while would definitely be beneficial for the last part of the journey.

  After eating, Shao Qing returned to her room. Then Shao Qing and Er Dai circled the trash can to puke. After puking, they brought Xiao Baozi along and began absorbing a pile of crystals. For Xiao Baozi’s situation, he was able to absorb some of the high calorie food, the things with high nutrition. As for them, they were unable to eat food and definitely weren’t willing to eat flesh, so they could only use crystals to help maintain their strength and power.

  For the entire day and night, they continued to absorb crystals within their room. It was only when it was time to have a meal for the afternoon did they reveal themselves.

  She ate very few things and they were all forced down. In a bit she would have to puke it out. If it wasn’t to fool everyone, she wouldn’t even want a bite.

  Early the next morning because Shao Qing didn’t require much sleep, she awoke quite early. However when she awoke, three women were already tidying things up.

  Frowning, Shao Qing came down the stairs: “It’s 5am.”


  “Sorry, did we wake you?” Xiang Ru was a bit alarmed. Shao Qing shook her head, speaking to them: “The things you guys need to do is get a good rest. Later when we are on our way then will you guys have energy and can focus. I don’t need you to be so hardworking. I just need you guys to not hold us back.”


  The things she said weren’t pleasant to her and the tone of her voice was rather indifferent. But Xiang Ru quietly said: “You…… are a good person……”


  Shao Qing was stunned. There has never been a time a person had given her a good person card. Her teammates usually said that she was someone who deserved trust and was depended on; a person viewed as the pillar of the group. Enemies would way that she is cruel, a lone wolf. People who didn’t know her would say that her cold and detached appearance would make her hard to approach. Being labeled as a good person, Xiang Ru was the first.

  She couldn’t help but shake her head, her face still expressionless yet her earlobe was slightly flushed: “How am I a good person? Did you guys not see the part where I murdered people?”


  “You…… really are a good person.” Xiang Ru couldn’t help but lift her voice, a bit eager: “Although your facial expression is cold, compared to those people who use words to console us, you are even more considerate. Moreover, you are hot-blooded and righteous. You truly are a really really good person……”


  Shao Qing sneered: “You guys are so tired you must be hallucinating. Quickly go to bed. Nap for a bit before we head out.”


  Xiang Ru looked at Shao Qing’s departing figure. Pulling her two not so quite there sisters she said in a low voice: “Really…… We really are grateful……”


  Shao Qing laughed. What part of her is a good person? After she had tortured those mandits, Blazing Flames and Yan Pingsheng’s people were scared of her.

  They really were too naive, to go so far as to think she was a good person. She was clearly a cold blooded, emotionless, selfish person. How could she give off any feelings of a good person?

  Right when Shao Qing stepped out the door, she saw Meng Shen sitting outside the door wiping a dagger clean. His eyes were focused as if he was at a laboratory doing a task that allowed for no mistake.

  Seeing his attitude towards his weapon , once again pleased Shao Qing. This caused Shao Qing to feel a bit better towards Meng Shen.

  Volume 3 87 Taking advantage of the fire to rob

  The person in charge of finance was a very young man. His powers may be useless in battle, but when it comes to financial matters, it was like godly help.

  His abilities can be summed up in one word Unforgotten. In fact it was the type where he can see ten lines in one glance. There were three people in the Jiangcheng Finance Department. One was responsible for record keeping, one was responsible for miscellaneous items, and the other was for managing everything.

  Moreover, he belongs to the Tan family and can be considered as Shao Qing’s nephew.

  “Qing Jie.” As soon as Tan Yezi came in, he called her with a sweet tone. He had said before calling Shao Qing his aunt was too much since she didn’t look like an aunt at all. It would make more sense for him to call her sister.

  Shao Qing just allowed him to do whatever.

  “Someone will come over to do business in a while, I will leave it to you and Mulin. Mulin will support you. Make sure the asking price is high, we don’t have to give them any face.” Shao Qing sneered before saying.

  Although she had cooperated, she was unhappy. Weren’t they so tough at the time? If they have the ability to continue to be hard-hearted and waste her mouth talking, then don’t blame her for being impolite and trying to earn more money.

  “Okay Qing Jie! Leave this to me, I guarantee you will be satisfied!” Tan Yezi slapped his chest. When he was in the Tan family, he was responsible for the business part. It’s said that all businessmen are evil and he is very treacherous in this respect.

  After dealing with the matter, Shao Qing was assured to deal with other things. The Qin family and the Tan family had brought countless talents. Today, most of the operations of Jiangcheng relied on the Qin family and the Tan family.

  This time when Xiao Baozi was injured, the two elders had the biggest reaction. The two elders were so angry that they were ready to give chase. Fortunately, they were intercepted by Gu Chuan.

  After arranging the outside affairs, Shao Qing continued to accompany Xiao Baozi. The two old men would also often come to see him. Xiao Baozi’s current situation has stabilized a little bit, but it is still not good. Seeing this, the two old men felt distressed.

  Yan Qiyue and Yin Ye researched for a long time. Finally, they found that there was indeed a way to channel the energy in Xiao Baozi and guide it to other people’s bodies. First, it would save Xiao Baozi. Secondly, it can also increase the strength of others. It was simply killing two birds with one stone, turning bad things into good things.

  But here comes the problem. The bodies of ordinary people can’t stand such violent energy. Xiao Baozi was fine because his physique was different, but the bodies of ordinary people with superhuman powers can’t handle it.

  Either a zombie such as Er Dai or Shao Qing with a strength above rank 5, or someone with a power system like Gu Panpan, whose body strength can be comparable to that of a zombie.

  Even if it was Gu Panpan, she was still on the edge. After all, Gu Panpan did not have a recovery ability as strong as a zombie.

  In this way, many people would not be able to participate. Shao Qing convened with her small group and held a small meeting with the high-ranking people to choose some people to help.

  Mulin asked Yan Qiyue directly: “Is there a way for Ah Qing to receive the energy transmission first, then if her body is saturated, let others try?”


  Yan Qiyue nodded, “That should work.”


  “Then we’ll let Ah Qing go first. To put it bluntly, if the strength is spread out, maybe it would be as useful as the block crystal core. If Ah Qing is allowed to absorb the energy, maybe she can rise to rank 8. ”


  Shao Qing shook her head: “Let’s have everyone share it, so we can all progress a bit. How can you always just focus on me?”


  For Yan Qiyue and the others, as Shao Qing’s family members, it was really hard to bring up. Thus, Tan Xiao immediately said: “I also think that Sister Mulin is right. Aunt, please think about it. We are from Jiangcheng. The average strength is really high. What you need to do is become the top pinnacle master. If your strength is high, that is good for Jiangcheng’s reputation. It is best to rise to rank 8. You will probably be the first person in the country to rise to such a rank. This could be like a signboard to deter others.”


  Other people also agreed. This was right. When the power is distributed, everyone will increase a little, but it is of no use at all. It is better to accumulate it on one person and create a direct threat to other bases.

  You guys think you’re overbearing? Our boss alone can destroy one of your bases!

  This would make people scared to mess with them.

  Shao Qing was helpless: “Is it really good for you to do this?”


  “There is nothing wrong with it. To put it in an ugly way, this thing was originally yours. Logically speaking, other people don’t have the right to get a portion. You asking us for our opinion is already enough respect.” Mulin patted the table, then said: “You go first. If you can’t hold it, we will call Er Dai, then look for Yin Ye and them. It is best if you can handle it alone.”


  Everyone agreed, so Shao Qing had no choice but to say: “I solicited your opinions. Don’t talk about me being dictatorial then.”


  “Hurry up, baby can’t wait.” Mulin pushed her out directly.

  Shao Qing had to make preparations. When she entered, Xiao Baozi was already asleep and was sleep talking in bed. Shao Qing had to wake him up to start.

  Dissolving the energy was not as simple as imagined. After all, those energies were too violent. If she was not careful, she may injure Xiao Baozi. Shao Qing took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed, ready.

  “Ah Qing, according to what I said, let Xiao Hua out first.” Yan Qiyue said, and Shao Qing released Xiao Hua. This time Xiao Hua was the main force. Xiao Hua can absorb human blood and body energy, but the latter was more troublesome.

  Under the command of Yan Qiyue, Shao Qing made Xiao Hua stretch out its many tentacles and inserted them into Xiao Baozi’s body, which looked like a catheter inserted in his body.

  After inserting it, Xiao Hua slowly absorbed the energy, then transported it to Shao Qing’s body after purification. Yan Qiyue had thought of this method at the beginning, but he did not dare to do it directly.

  After all, that was tossing about Xiao Baozi’s body. What should they do if it breaks him by accident? This was not an experiment. If they don’t succeed once, they can’t just continue with another experiment.

  There is only one Xiao Baozi, so he must be cautious. Thus, he researched for several days and only told Shao Qing after he determined that the plan was indeed feasible.

  “Be careful.” Yan Qiyue was also very nervous. After all, Xiao Baozi was the lifeblood of Shao Qing and Shao Qing was his lifeblood.

  When the first force was absorbed by Xiao Hua, Yan Qiyue patted her palm: “It is indeed feasible!”


  “Shh…” Shao Qing put a finger in front of his lips, then started. Absorbing the power passed by Xiao Hua, this power is very pure. Once it entered her body, it quickly flowed into the crystal core, assimilating into her own energy.

  The energy contained in that heart was worthy of being the most suitable for absorption. After being purified, it was particularly gentle and can be easily absorbed.

  Shao Qing kept absorbing the energy transmitted by Xiao Hua. Her crystal nucleus was also filled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  The energy contained in that heart was enough to create a rank 9 superhuman. Although it was divided into two parts, with only one-half in Xiao Baozi’s body, two or three people with rank 8 abilities can be produced easily.

  After all, going from the eighth to the ninth rank was nothing short of trying to reach the heavens. The energy required for the eighth rank to rise to the ninth rank was enough for several people to go from the first to the eighth rank.

  As Xiao Hua continued to deliver energy, Shao Qing felt saturated. Once the crystal core began to saturate, it meant she could try to break through.

  At this time, energy was still continuously being pumped into her body. This was at least to ensure that when she breaks through, she will not be on the verge of failure due to lack of energy.

  Not long ago she was promoted to rank 7, then she went from elementary rank 7, to the intermediate level. Now she is jumping to try to break through rank 8.

  When breaking through, Shao Qing was very calm. She blasted the inside of her crystal nucleus with energy quickly and slowly, making the space inside the crystal nucleus larger and larger, to accommodate more power.

  With it being so long, she has found out bit by bit, that a breakthrough was originally to allow the crystal core to hold more power, just like a memory space of a mobile phone.

  The memory space can store more energy, and the rigidity of the body determines the running memory. A breakthrough is the test for these two points.

  Even though Shao Qing had rich experience in breaking through, it took a long time to make a successful breakthrough. She breathed a sigh of relief and opened her eyes: “Call in Er Dai and Panpan.”


  Yan Qiyue kept watching on the side. Upon seeing this, he said: “You can obviously absorb more. It is not a problem to reach the peak of the eighth rank.”


  “Just breaking through to the eighth rank is enough. Besides, the gap with the eighth peak is actually not very big, especially for me. Rather than me going to hit the peak, it’s better to create a few more eighth rank superhumans, it would be good for the base.” Shao Qing said calmly.

  After reaching the eighth rank, she had some confidence she could do it slowly.

  Yan Qiyue had no choice but to call in Er Dai and Gu Panpan. Shao Qing called the two people over, then said: “You two should fight for it, try to absorb more. It will be good if you can break through to the eighth rank. Now, if Jiangcheng can have a few more eighth-rank superhumans, we will have confidence in doing things in the future.”


  Er Dai and Gu Panpan sat aside honestly and were ready. Xiao Hua’s tentacles connected them like a bridge, sending energy to their bodies. After the two digested the first strand, Shao Qing relaxed, they should be able to absorb it.

  At this moment, Mulin suddenly came to find Shao Qing: “Ah Qing, go out and take a look, something happened outside.”


  Shao Qing frowned, glancing at Xiao Baozi. Xiao Baozi’s situation was much better now, at least those cracks are slowly healing.

  This shows that the energy in his body was not enough to damage the body surface.

  Shao Qing walked out with a little worry: “What’s the matter?”


  “The group of people who came for the transaction wanted to use coercion. They thought that our bid was too high. This time they brought some masters over. I was afraid that I couldn’t handle it. So, I wanted to call you over first.” Mulin said helplessly.

  Shao Qing didn’t know until she got there. Why did Mulin say that? This time several bases came wanting to make a deal with them. Each base came with a rank 6 or higher superhuman.

  Although it was not as good as the previous Shao Qing, it was not much worse. The most important thing was that they had the numbers.

  But it was really unfortunate that they had come. Shao Qing had just broken through, and now she could easily crush rank 6 superhumans, just like crushing a few small ants, completely stress-free.

  After Shao Qing got to the place, she sat in the middle and crossed her legs: “I heard someone is dissatisfied with the price? If you’re dissatisfied, let’s discuss.”


  Her tone made it seem like she was weak, but her action was not weak at all. Her sharp eyes made their scalp numb.

  “Yes, we think this price is really inappropriate. It’s too expensive. When doing business you should be amiable to make you rich. At least give us a reasonable price.” The person in charge of one of the bases said.

  “Then tell me your ideal price.” Shao Qing said lazily, the person immediately said: “Three rank 5 crystal cores for a car, it can’t be more expensive.”


  The usual price was usually around ten pieces per car. Shao Qing asked Tan Yezi to be a bit harder, and Tan Yezi asked for twenty pieces. Unexpectedly, this group of people would cut them down to three pieces directly.

  This was no longer doing business, this is simply robbing.

  Shao Qing waved her hand expressionlessly: “Send off the guests, I won’t sell anything.”
