"Who are you?" Lin Qing asked.
Shi Zhongjun put down the keyboard and looked at Lin Qing quietly without saying anything. It was as if he wanted to see through something and was considering something.
After a while, he slowly raised the corners of his lips and sat back on the Taishi's chair in a leisurely manner.
"What do you think?"
Lin Qing pursed her lips.
To be honest, her mind was a mess.
When I first read the book, I felt that the setting in the book was full of mysteries. There were many pitfalls that the author mentioned once, but there was no explanation later.
For example, mentioned in the original book:
Lin Shu once investigated that there seems to be a mysterious force behind this apocalyptic world. This mysterious force controls all the resources of the apocalypse.
Including Shelter 0.
Including the mission system and even all missionaries.
It was as if there was a big hand playing a big game of chess.
But until the finale, the author still did not solve this mystery. I don’t know what stimulated the author to write such an anticlimactic ending.
Therefore, Lin Qing read through the book and became more curious about the unsolved mysteries.
She now suspected that Tokizaka-kun was most likely related to that mysterious force.
But curiosity killed the cat, and Lin Qing began to regret her impulse as soon as she asked.
Shi Zhongjun only felt that he was watching a big show on her face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"I thought you could hold back from asking," he said.
Lin Qing snorted lightly.
Shi Zhongjun asked again, "Have you thought about it? There are some things where you may die faster if you know too much."
Seeing the teasing look on his face, Lin Qing couldn't help grinding her teeth, "Didn't you deliberately lure me into the situation? To be honest, I really don't want to know. But do I have a choice?"
It's pretty good for a little person like her to survive in the end of the world.
Especially in the current situation, surrounded by enemies on all sides, every step is difficult.
There are many people who want to plot against her and seek wealth and death.
Not to mention the other candidate directors, they will do whatever it takes to win. As for her old enemy Pei Niannan, and Lin Shu who treated her like a human being, which one could she afford to offend?
She is crazy because she can't think about it and is looking for trouble for herself.
Shi Zhongjun was noncommittal and just looked sincere, "There's no need to be so angry. You can trust me on one thing. Maybe you will thank me for choosing you in the future."
Lin Qing hehe, "Then I thank you. So, why do you want to drag me into the game?"
"There is a plan above and we need seeded players."
"What's the plan?"
"I can't say this now, before I confirm that the person is you. You know too much and will die faster."
The implication is that no matter how many questions you have, it's best not to be too curious right now.
Lin Qing pursed her lips, knowing that if an old fox like Shi Zhongjun didn't want to tell, he wouldn't be able to ask anyway.
"Who is the person who blew up the bridge today? Who is the enemy? You can always tell me, right? The bombing of the bridge today almost killed me and the people around me."
"Isn't it normal for people to die in the last days? It just depends on the way of death." Tokizaka-kun seemed to be thinking.
"But I don't want to die looking like a fool."
Lin Qing set up a moon chair and sat face to face with Shi Zhongjun. It was obviously a lazy moon chair, but she sat on it like a dragon chair.
There is a posture of saying that if I don’t explain clearly today, I won’t finish it.
Shi Zhongjun sighed softly, "This is still being investigated. But with Pei Yanche's ability, he should be able to find out before he leaves the Dajiang Sanctuary. I will tell you then."
"So, you had a purpose when you first contacted me?"
"Yes."
Shi Zhongjun answered every question without fail.
"You want to plot my property?"
"No." Shi Zhongjun replied simply.
He looked at Lin Qing steadily, "What I want is you."
"Why me?"
Lin Qing would not just think that he was great because he was selected as a candidate for director, successfully advanced from the first round of tasks, and killed a few zombies.
With her current strength, she would just act in fight scenes before the end of the world, deal with some gangsters, and just defend herself on a daily basis. After the end of the world, it would be nice to be able to protect yourself. Shi Zhongjun shrugged, with a serious look on his face, "You may not believe me when I say this. In fact, I also want to know why it is you."
"..."
"The last question, if I am elected, will I get a salary?"
Lin Qing looked serious.
This is very important!
Shi Zhongjun burst into laughter, but finally answered patiently, "In a sense, there will be good benefits."
"That's it."
Lin Qing took back the moon chair and came out of Shi Zhongjun's tent, feeling somewhat clear in his heart.
The end of the world has suddenly arrived.
Since the higher-ups can predict the end of the world in advance, they must have some plans.
For example, many shelters have been built around the world, such as Research Institute 0, which is specially designed for the end of the world.
There are also the supernatural awakening agents, radiation-proof combat suits, space buttons, etc. that were put into various shelters as soon as the apocalypse came.
None of these things can be created out of thin air.
There are people who are carrying the burden forward for the destiny of mankind.
But those are aspects that ordinary people like Lin Qing cannot access.
Whether it's Shi Zhongjun or Pei Yanche, they must be related to those people above.
Especially Tokizaka-kun.
A person who can make Pei Yanche both awe and fearful is naturally no small person.
Although I don’t know who Shi Zhongjun is choosing and why he is attracted to her.
Anyway, Lin Qing is self-aware. No matter what the plan is, she is just a small screw at best.
Again, it’s easy to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree.
If it was a thick thigh, Lin Qing would naturally not refuse.
"Qingqing!"
It was Lin Shu's voice.
But she was stopped by a robot.
Lin Qing took one look, turned around and left.
The loser next to Lin Shu immediately shouted, "Stop! Miss Lin came to you personally to give you face! What airs are you putting on? Even if you are an inspector, you can't be so unruly!"
"This is a messenger from a Class A shelter. Don't you know? Why don't you get the robot out of the way and let Miss Lin pass?"
This man wanted to wear his candidate director medal on his head, and Lin Qing naturally saw it at a glance.
What a great official authority.
Lin Qing didn't even look at him. She walked directly to her tent, opened the curtain and went in.
The weasel was uneasy and kind-hearted when he paid New Year greetings to the rooster.
Lin Qing couldn't think about it, so he was free enough to be willing to accompany Lin Shu to act out some sisterly love.
Who cares about the messengers from Class A shelters and Class B shelters.
Let's talk about it if you have the ability to break through the robots and break in.
"This is unreasonable!"
She actually ignored herself? The candidate director gritted his teeth in anger, turned around and ordered to the robot, "I order you to get out of my way immediately!"
The huge movement immediately attracted many eyes.
"Frog Fun. What happened over there?"
"It seems like the inspector is getting into trouble with the director candidate?"
"It's so annoying, why do these inspectors do trouble every day!"
"The young lady next to the candidate director seems to be the big boss who just came from before! I heard that he is from a Class A shelter."
"Fuck! If I had known I would go to a Class A shelter, look at the protective clothing they are wearing. It looks better than our high-end ones! They look like future soldiers!"
"I heard about it. It seems that the big boss from the Class A asylum wanted to see the inspector, but the inspector put on airs and walked away!"
