Chapter 292: I Have No Interest

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Qiao gave a faint smile while looking at Lu Ting without saying anything. After four or five seconds, when Lu Ting was about to collapse under her gaze, she took her hand away and said, “Sadly, I have no interest in women, and I’m not a lesbian.”

Lu Ting sighed with relief, then asked, “Then what do you want us to do?”

She could tell that Lin Qiao didn’t refuse her as resolutely as the two men did. Also, she noticed that the two men took a glance at Lin Qiao earlier on when making the decision.

She was willing to do whatever Lin Qiao asked, as long as the latter gave food and weapon to her and her friends.

Lin Qiao looked at Lu Ting, feeling that she was pretty perceptive. She turned to look at Chen Yuting and the others, then walked toward them.

“If you really want to trade with us, I do have a job to offer you. I’m just not sure if you’re willing to take it.” She said that to Chen Yuting and the others, meaning that she needed men, and not women.

Chen Yuting and his people understood her meaning. “What job? We’re willing to do it, as long as we can,” Chen Yuting quickly responded in surprise.

“Em… construction workers,” said Lin Qiao.

“Construction workers?” They were puzzled shortly upon hearing Lin Qiao’s answer, almost thinking that they had misheard her. However, Lu Changfeng soon figured something out. “May I ask what are you going to build?” he asked, “How long will it take? How much can we earn?”

Hearing him, the others all nodded and agreed, “Yeah, you said construction workers… What do you want to build? Houses?”

“A fence wall,” said Lin Qiao, “Barring accidents, it’ll take six to twelve months. Of course, I won’t force you to work. You will be paid with rice and flour daily. About the location, I can’t tell you that now, but I assure you it will be somewhere safe. What do you think?”

People reacted differently after hearing her words.

Chen Yuting and his people hadn’t thought that this kind of a good thing would happen to them. It was a fortune that Lin Qiao had offered them such a great job. By helping build a fence wall, they would be paid with rice and flour.

Both rice and flour were very precious food now. In any base, only powerful people could get a slight amount of it.

Li Zheng and Lin Feng glanced at each other, but didn’t say anything.

They didn’t plan to hire these people, as they had no access to their background information. Besides, they needed to go to Sea City Base before returning to the Upper City District of Hang Zhou. If they hired strangers on their way, some unnecessary problems might occur.

They didn’t think that Lin Qiao would offer them the job at this time.

“Is that real? How can we believe you?” Lu Ting suddenly asked a question.

Lin Qiao turned around and shrugged while saying, “Believe me or not, I don’t care. I’m not begging you now. You should be clear about your attitude. If you don’t come with us, we’ll keep looking for others. By the way, we’re heading to Sea City Base now. If you’re willing to work with us, I can send you back to your base for free.”

Having finished talking, Lin Qiao turned and walked to the car silently.

“I’ll give you three minutes to think. After that, we won’t wait.” While speaking, she hopped onto the car roof and then turned around, crossing her legs and sitting down.

Lu Changfeng and Chen Yuting glanced at each other, then turned to look at the others.

“What do you think? They’re not trustable, but we don’t have any better choice now,” Lu Changfeng said to the others.

“I… I’ll go! We have no food or weapons now. We’ll be dead in just a couple of days, no matter how hard we try. Besides, this place is too far away from Sea City. We’ll either starve to death on our way back, or end up being eaten by zombies.”

“You’re right. I’ll go too. I’m willing to believe her!”

“But… What if she lied to us?”

“They don’t look like robbers, but we can’t guarantee that they’re not. And… that woman didn’t tell us about the work location. What if they bring us to a dangerous place, and we can’t get back?”

“But, we have nothing that they want. Why would she lie to us?”

“I don’t think she has a reason to lie to us. Probably, they’re really short-handed. She said that they’re going to build a fence wall. Are they planning to build a small base somewhere?”

“Small base? These few people? I think we shouldn’t believe them!”

“I… I don’t care. I can do anything as long as I won’t starve to death… I still need to take care of my mother! Wealth comes from danger, isn’t that right? How can we know if we’ll find treasures or not without taking any risk?”

“That’s right! We all need food. We can earn food by ourselves, but the most important thing right now is that we need to go back to the base alive, isn’t it?”

“Me too.”

“Me too.”

Most of the group of people thought that they had no choice but to risk believing Lin Qiao. Chen Yuting and Lu Changfeng glanced at each other, then made up their minds and nodded.

They turned and took a few steps toward Lin Qiao, then looked at her and said, “We agree to work with you. As long as you help us to get back to Sea City Base safely, we’ll build your fence wall for free for a month.”

Lin Qiao clapped her hands, then nodded and said, “It’s great that you agreed! Let’s head to Sea City first. I’ll tell you about the next step there.”

While speaking, she waved a hand.

Bang!

A minibus-sized green-colored armored vehicle appeared and fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Seeing the vehicle which looked exactly the same as the one under Lin Qiao’s feet, Chen Yuting and the others fixed their eyes on it with shock. Later on, they turned to look at Lin Qiao with disbelief.

“You can drive this car for now. Don’t forget to give it back to me after getting back to Sea City Base,” Lin Qiao said to them blandly.

“Re-really?” Chen Yuting looked at Lin Qiao in shock, who only gave him a faint smile.

Li Zheng and Lin Feng turned to get into the car. Then, the car under Lin Qiao’s feet was started before being driven forward.

As Lin Qiao’s car was driving away, Chen Yuting and the others immediately rushed toward the second car.

“Hurry up, get into the car! We’ll talk later!”

“This is real! Great!”

They opened the car door and hopped in. Whether Lin Qiao was telling the truth or not, they would be able to return to their face safely with this car. In this case, the reliability of Lin Qiao’s words increased by fifty percent.

The hunting squad was surprised to find out that the domineering woman who offered them the job was actually a space-powered one.

In their eyes, space-powered people were the weakest.

However, Lin Qiao looked very strong.
