Chapter 376 The Little Rose of the Dark Captain (64)
Chapter 376 The Little Rose of the Dark Captain (64)
Since that day, Bai Chao has been living in Xiao Xuxing's room.
He didn't go to register for proof of occupancy, but no one came to bother him.
But in the shelter, since Bai Chao has a new contribution card, he still needs to continue to complete the tasks.
Xiao Xuxing is still his supervisor.
Xiao Xuxing would send Bai Chao to the mission point every day and would only leave after watching him start the mission.
At noon, Xiao Xuxing would go to pick up Bai Chao and take him home to rest.
But Xiao Xuxing is really busy.
Every time after he finished cooking for Bai Chao, he would leave home in a hurry.
After Bai Chao's lunch break is over, Xiao Xuxing will come back on time to send Bai Chao to the new mission point.
Although the two of them live together now, they are rarely together during the day.
"..."
Bai Chao was sitting on a small stool beside the kitchen, watching the man cook.
Since living together again, Bai Chao has developed a habit of always going to the kitchen to watch Xiao Xuxing cook.
The kitchen was filled with heavy smoke, and at first Xiao Xuxing didn't want Bai Chao to stay in the kitchen, so he pulled him to sit on the sofa.
But after sending the person out, Bai Chao came back silently and stood in his original position looking at him.
Xiao Xuxing originally wanted to say something, but when he saw the pair of eyes looking at him intently, he was reluctant to chase them away.
So Xiao Xuxing prepared a small stool for Bai Chao so that he had a place to sit.
"Taste this."
Xiao Xuxing picked up a piece of fried mushroom that had just been fried with chopsticks, blew away the heat, and brought it to Bai Chao's mouth.
Bai Chao took a bite and his eyes lit up.
Xiao Xuxing looked into his eyes: "Is it delicious?"
"Delicious." Bai Chao blinked, "Did you make this with the bag of mushrooms you brought back?"
"Ah."
Xiao Xuxing put the remaining fried mushrooms on the plate.
These are newly cultivated mushrooms at the base.
I don’t know how the mushrooms were cultivated in the previous planting area, which resulted in too many mushrooms growing all of a sudden. There were no other dishes in the cafeteria, only mushrooms cooked in various ways.
Others also received fresh mushrooms, with a minimum of ten bags.
Everyone was quite happy at the beginning. After all, who wouldn’t be happy to get free food?
But mushrooms rot easily and will go bad if not eaten within a few days, so they cannot be stockpiled and must be eaten immediately.
Soon everyone stopped laughing. No one wanted to eat mushrooms every day, and no one wanted to eat mushrooms as a meal.
But we eat mushrooms at home and the cafeteria is full of mushrooms. Many people's faces turn green when they see mushrooms.
Xiao Xuxing didn't know how many mushrooms You Xinyu had planted, but he knew that later You Xinyu wrote two full pages of self-criticism and handed it in.
The letter of apology also passed through his hands. Xiao Xuxing glanced at it and the core content was probably that he would never disobey instructions and abuse the spiritual spring water again.
Because although You Xinyu planted a lot of mushrooms, she also accidentally planted a lot of poisonous mushrooms.
So the shelter spent a lot of manpower on picking mushrooms.
However, due to the effect of the spiritual spring water, the poisonous mushrooms are difficult to distinguish and many people are still poisoned.
It took Xiao Xuxing a lot of time to deal with this matter.
After the matter was resolved today, You Xinyu was publicly executed and read her apology in public in the cafeteria.
Xiao Xuxing did not go to the cafeteria. On his way to pick up Bai Chao, You Xinyu, who ran over, still forced two large bags of mushrooms into his mouth.
"Captain Xiao, help me, help me. I really can't get rid of this mushroom!" You Xinyu clasped her hands together and prayed madly. She didn't even dare to look at Xiao Xuxing and fled away like a flash.
You Xinyu was about to vomit from eating so many mushrooms, and she even accidentally ate a poisonous mushroom once. She told everyone she was the mother of mushrooms, which was so embarrassing... She never wanted to see mushrooms again in her life!
Xiao Xuxing went to pick up Bai Chao first, carrying two bags. After returning, he picked out all the poisonous mushrooms in the bags. As a result, after picking out two bags of mushrooms, only one bag was left that was edible.
If Xiao Xuxing didn't know You Xinyu, he would have thought that You Xinyu deliberately used poisonous mushrooms to harm him and Bai Chao.
Maybe he hasn't recovered from being poisoned yet.
"..."
Xiao Xuxing brought the other dishes to the table.
"Let's eat."
Bai Chao followed Xiao Xuxing and asked, "Are you leaving again?"
While he was cooking just now, Xiao Xuxing's communicator kept ringing.
Xiao Xuxing placed the bowl of rice in front of Bai Chao: "Well, I'll come back later to accompany you."
Bai Chao lowered his head and gently pinched the corner of the man's clothes with his fingers: "But you always come back very late at night, and I fall asleep and can't see you..."
"..."
A corner of Xiao Xuxing's heart seemed to soften.
He touched Bai Chao's hair.
"I'll be back early tonight."
"really?"
"real."
Xiao Xuxing's communicator rang again.
He glanced at the communicator, pressed it twice, and the communicator went silent.
"I'm leaving now. Just put your bowl in the sink when you're done."
"Oh……"
Bai Chao silently watched the man leave the room and the door was closed.
He slowly sat down at the table and threw a fried mushroom into his mouth.
The mushrooms were fried to the perfect temperature, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant and crispy.
001 flew out: "Host, the Lord God is very busy."
Although Xiao Xuxing used the incident of the shelter being in the wrong to gain certain rights for Bai Chao during the meeting, his own workload did not decrease at all.
However, even though Xiao Xuxing was very busy every day, he still found time to pick up and drop off Bai Chao.
"Ah."
Bai Chao picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
He knew why Xiao Xuxing insisted on picking him up even though he was so busy.
The man worries that he is being bullied.
But fortunately, the task assigned to Bai Chao is not complicated and can be completed by one person alone.
Bai Chao was shoveling the rice in the bowl from time to time.
The food is still delicious, but it always lacks flavor when no one is eating with you.
"..."
late at night.
Xiao Xuxing pushed open the door and walked into the room with light footsteps.
He came back a little earlier than usual, but still a little late.
Xiao Xuxing found that the light in the living room was still on. As soon as he walked over, he saw Bai Chao leaning on the sofa with a pillow in his arms, still dozing off and on.
"..."
Xiao Xuxing's eyes gradually softened.
He came to Bai Chao's side, and just as he hugged him, Bai Chao woke up.
Bai Chao's voice was dazed: "You're back..."
"Well, I'm back."
Xiao Xuxing gently kissed Bai Chao's forehead: "Go to sleep."
……
the next day.
Bai Chao arrived at the mission point early in the morning.
After swiping the card, he looked at Xiao Xuxing: "I can't go home at noon today..."
The task that Bai Chao received today was to search for designated mutant plant remains outside the base.
It will take a while, and during the mission, the people doing the mission will stay outside until everyone has found ten.
So I can only rest outside during the lunch break.
"Ah."
Xiao Xuxing held Bai Chao's wrist and gently looked at the bracelet with the locator on it.
This bracelet is made of special material and is very light, so it will not cause any discomfort to the wearer.
Xiao Xuxing checked the clasp of the bracelet. Although the material was light, it was easy to fall off. Several times, Bai Chao had eagerly handed him the fallen bracelet and asked him to put it on again.
Later, Xiao Xuxing changed the lock buckle, and the problem of the chain falling off easily was solved.
Xiao Xuxing put down Bai Chao's wrist and frowned slightly.
The clasp of the bracelet is fine.
But he remembered that B-level missions rarely required work outside the city. Was this time an exception?
Xiao Xuxing glanced at the people who were waiting to complete the task.
There were a total of twenty-five people working on a mission together with Bai Chao, and there was a C-level psychic leading the team.
Since the mission difficulty is rated as Class B and we are bringing so many people, we will definitely not go to any dangerous areas.
There is safety in numbers, but...
Bai Chao has never done a group mission with so many people.
Xiao Xuxing straightened Bai Chao's collar and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, call me on the communicator and I'll pick you up."
Although this person has a cold temperament and doesn't like to talk to others, he won't take the initiative to cause trouble.
But when there are too many people, it is easy to cause trouble.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
This shelter doesn't accept many people from the Bai Dynasty, and people like You Xinyu are among the minority.
"Xiao Xuxing..."
Bai Chao pursed his lips.
When Xiao Xuxing saw Bai Chao's expression, he immediately softened his heart: "Forget it, I'll apply for a transfer for you."
Bai Chao grabbed his sleeve and said, "No."
This task is quite convenient. As long as you find ten remnants, you have completed ten tasks. The earlier you finish it, the earlier you can go home.
Bai Chao raised his head and said, "Xiao Xuxing, remember to pick me up."
Xiao Xuxing had his location information, and as long as he saw the moving direction of the location, he would know when to pick him up.
"..."
Xiao Xuxing touched Bai Chao's hair and said, "Okay."
……
Now that everyone here is here, we will go to do the mission.
Everyone got on two shuttle buses and were taken to the mission point together.
Bai Chao was in the second car. He sat alone in the last row, leaning on the back of the chair and looking in the direction of the shelter until he could no longer see the figure clearly, and then he slowly withdrew his gaze.
Everyone on the bus sat in the front row. Even if there were no seats left, they would rather squeeze in the front than sit next to Bai Chao.
Bai Chao lowered his eyes and touched his bracelet.
Xiao Xuxing's worries were not without reason.
Some of their previous intimate actions inevitably attracted criticism from others.
But no one would target Xiao Xuxing, so all the strange eyes fell on Bai Chao.
The people sitting in the front were whispering, looking back at Bai Chao from time to time, and some even raised their voices intentionally or unintentionally.
"What is the shelter thinking? Why let this person out? What if he suddenly harms us again?"
"That's right, why give him the opportunity to do the mission? Can he still get contribution points?"
"Why..."
"Why is Captain Xiao still with him..."
"It's really unworthy..."
There were all kinds of noises.
Bai Chao raised his eyebrows slightly.
No one dared to say a word when Xiao Xuxing was around.
Now everyone is becoming bolder.
001 said angrily: "Host, don't listen to what they say, I will help you filter out the voices!"
"fine."
These people dare to speak like this, because, in the final analysis, they are not afraid of him.
Bai Chao looked like just an ordinary weak man, and his backer Anleyuan was also cleared out.
Because there is no threat, they dare to say these words to your face.
Bai Chao leaned back and closed his eyes.
He really didn't care much about these things. He only cared about when he could complete the task and see Xiao Xuxing.
Arrived at the mission location.
The psychic leading the team asked people to get off the bus and handed out gloves to them one by one.
"Everyone remember to wear gloves. If you see the remains of mutant plants, don't grab them with your bare hands."
"Ok."
Bai Chao was the last one to receive the gloves.
But when it was his turn, there was only one glove left.
"Forehead……"
The psychic looked at this last glove and felt a little embarrassed.
Not only was there only one glove left, but there was also a hole on one of the fingers, probably because it was torn by a nail when it was pressed down.
This seems like it is deliberately targeting the Bai Dynasty, but it is not.
He is a member of Xiao Xuxing's team. Although it is difficult for him to judge the captain's partner, he will take care of him to some extent because of Captain Xiao.
The psychic did not give the gloves with holes to Bai Chao, but went to the side and got a small shovel.
"We don't have enough gloves. Use this."
Before Bai Chao took the shovel, someone shouted.
"Why only give him a shovel?"
The superpowered person said inexplicably: "Because you all got gloves."
"Doesn't he have gloves too? We want a shovel too, why doesn't he give it to us?"
The psychic was speechless. This shovel belonged to him, and he only had one. He couldn't share it with so many people.
"His glove is useless, and there is only one shovel. Besides, the gloves are enough for you. The shovel is just a tool..."
But those people didn't listen to the explanation and kept shouting: "I think it was intentional. It's not fair at all."
"Yes, that's not fair!"
What else did the superpower have to say: "You guys..."
Bai Chao put down his hand and said calmly: "Give it to them."
"But you only have one glove..."
"It's ok."
Bai Chao took the torn glove and said, "Don't waste time."
For collective tasks, we will wait until everyone has completed their own tasks before sending them back together.
Bai Chao didn't want to waste time on such trivial matters.
"This..." The Psychic said helplessly, "Oh, okay."
He also didn't want to see the people doing the mission start fighting among themselves before the mission even started.
"Be careful not to get it on your skin when you're searching." The psychic gave another reminder.
Some mutated plants may contain residual toxins, which may cause ulcers if they come into direct contact with the skin.
Bai Chao looked at the torn gloves and said, "Hmm."
The psychic divided the team into eight groups.
Because Bai Chao was the extra person, the psychic arranged him into the last group.
But the people in that group were also reluctant.
"We have enough people..."
The superpower's tone did not allow for rejection: "This is an order."
