Chapter 98 - 98

Chapter 98 Repelling the EnemyGu Lingxiao knew that Li Haitao was a good manager, and with him on the base, it could continue to develop, so people couldn't die.The cleanup work began, carrying the bodies of the victims to designated locations, and then transporting them by vehicle to be burned.They had been doing this kind of work frequently during this period, so the workers' faces were very numb, as if they were carrying animal carcasses instead of people.Qi Tianyu was showing off his team-branded arm sleeves when he saw Gu Lingxiao, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, at the door. He immediately became smug and walked over quickly." Brother Gu, it's been a long time!"Gu Lingxiao turned around and looked at Qi Tianyu as if he were a simpleton. He was wearing red arm sleeves, which were the insignia of a street sweeping team leader."Not bad! You've even become a team leader!""It's alright! I really did a great job this time. If I hadn't carried the torch through the thick fog and given everyone a head start, we don't know what the situation would be like now!" Qi Tianyuonly then realized that the person opposite him was the Base Commander. Li Haitao looked quite haggard in the video at the time.His clothes were a mess, with bloodstains in some places, indicating that he had just been in a gunfight.He was so scared that he found a place to hide. When he felt that everything was alright, he ran out. The dead bodies all over the ground were really scary. When had he ever seen such a scene?"Oh, then you've done a great job." Gu Lingxiaoturned to Li Haitao and said, "I'll go back first, otherwise my family will worry!""Okay," Li Haitao replied.The two were like old friends.Qi Tianyu had wanted to show off, but he was slapped in the face. Then, seeing Li Haitao busy with other things, he could only take his tools and work with the others.Later, I learned from everyone that Gu Lingxiaois now a big shot at the base and lives in a villa next to the Base Commander.That is Villa No. 2. The rest of the villas are still empty and no one lives in them, mainly because the contribution points required are too high.Only then did he recall that on the day he entered the base, he had also gone to the villa area and seen a familiar figure from behind.Upon closer inspection, isn't that Gu Lingxiao?This is a mess.If he had known he had a powerful backer, why would he have bothered with all that effort?After finishing the work, I rushed home and sawTang Xin sitting on the sofa doing her nails. There was coffee brewing in the teapot on the table, and a rich aroma wafted over. I hadn't smelled such a fragrant aroma in a long time.Now all his anger had subsided. He sat down, poured himself a cup of coffee, and seemed to have returned to his former status as a noble young master."Why are you back so early? Have you finished packing?" Tang Xin finished fixing her fingernails and lay down comfortably.The base changed their accommodation to a large house with one bedroom and two living rooms. It was fully equipped with household facilities, and there were even ready-made pajamas and blankets in the closet. The conditions were much better than she had imagined.Furthermore, they were given 100,000 contribution points, which, based on their spending habits, would last them a long time."It's almost done. I'll leave the rest to others. I'm a squad leader now, I don't need to do everything myself." Qi Tianyu took a sip of coffee and found it a bit bitter, so he added two more sugar cubes. This time it tasted much better, and he nodded in satisfaction."Don't drink it all, leave some for me. If it weren't for my idea, would we have such a good life?"Tang Xin felt at this moment that some of the deviations in the past might be due to problems with her memory, or perhaps the butterfly effect caused by her time travel had led to these changes.Qi Tianyu: "Yes, yes, my queen, it's all thanks to your brilliant ideas that we've been able to enjoy such a wonderful life."Otherwise, we might all be starving to death by now. Now that the thick fog has lifted, our good days have begun!Tang Xin then realized that the timing seemed off. Could it be that the timing had gone astray again?But what happens if we deviate from this path?Their lives have already changed, or perhaps it's just that the natural disaster has gone awry and won't have too much of an impact on them!Tang Xin said happily, "Why don't we go out for a nice meal tonight and treat ourselves?"Qi Tianyu: "Okay, but I also need to treat someone to dinner, Brother Gu, whom you met last time. They are no ordinary people now; they are big shots in the base."The Base Commander specially provided them with a villa to live in; it's truly enviable!Tang Xin's smile vanished. "Did they come to the base too?"Qi Tianyu: "Yeah, and they arrived on the same day as us. They moved into a villa right away, while we had to exchange our cars for contribution points to get a house. That's the difference between people!"Tang Xin suddenly realized that if Qi Tianyu'sfate were rewritten, he wouldn't be the male lead anymore.So who is the male protagonist of this book?Is it Gu Lingxiao?Thinking about what has happened recently, it seems to be true.Qi Tianyu was still dreaming about how to curry favor with powerful figures.Tang Xin was thinking to herself, if the male lead were changed, would she still want to be withQi Tianyu?Having finally transmigrated, of course I want to be the leading lady.If Gu Lingxiao becomes the male lead, of course I'll end up with him.After all, she was a time traveler, and she knew what would happen later in the book. Perhaps she could use this to attract Gu Lingxiao's attention.Qi Tianyu put the cup he was holding on the table, then pulled the woman into his arms and tried to kiss her, but she pushed him away."I want to sleep, let's skip it for today!""Alright, go to sleep!"Qi Tianyu also lost interest, and after spending several months with Tang Xin, he was tired of her.Seeing that everyone had gone back to their rooms to sleep, he put on his coat, took his contribution card, and went to the base's red area.There are some women there who don't want to earn contribution points through physical labor. They believe that because they are pretty, people are willing to spend contribution points for injections.At first, Base Commander was against it, but later he found that he couldn't make arrangements for those women, so he let them be.In addition, women's thinking has changed nowadays. As long as they can live, they are willing to do anything. Even if their men have affairs, they don't care too much.After all, no one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.Qi Tianyu was good-looking, so he was naturally warmly welcomed by the women and enjoyed himself immensely.Tang Xin woke up and didn't see anyone, which she found strange, so she took a piece of bread from the refrigerator.Vacuum-packed bread—I wouldn't have eaten bread with so many additives back then.We're already lucky to be able to eat bread now.Just as the bag was opened, the sound of a door opening came from outside, and a man carrying clothes came in from outside.There were several hickeys on her neck, the kind that a woman would leave on purpose.Qi Tianyu was persuaded to drink some alcohol and became a little drunk. If the overnight fee hadn't been so high, he would have wanted to stay there overnight.
