I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 1055 - 1154: Jing Shu’s Restless Heart Finally Comes to Peace

Chapter 1055: Chapter 1154: Jing Shu’s Restless Heart Finally Comes to Peace

Tan Ke greeted everyone, "Let’s not stand on ceremony, that’s how Sister Jing is so straightforward. Let’s just make sure we complete the escort mission well this time!"

"Thank you, thank you."

"Then we won’t stand on ceremony."

"Didn’t expect to have good food while out on a mission."

After eating and drinking well, the Hulks transported the wrapped octopuses onto the plane. Jing Shu gave a few instructions to Grandma Jing and told Ah Xing to take them for another day of fun. She would be back by tomorrow at the latest.

Jing Shu saw Su Malie.

Su Malie was just about to speak.

Jing Shu covered her mouth, "Come on, Mary, let’s take a spin around the Imperial Capital. But you can’t talk, and definitely can’t jinx it." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Su Malie: "..."

Though she couldn’t speak, this seemed pretty nice too, she thought silently, hoping everything would go smoothly today.

Sure enough, without Su Malie’s jinxing, saying weird things, or wishing strange wishes, even the itinerary went extraordinarily smoothly.

Not to mention, she even saw Dr. Liu mentioned by Jun Bao at the entrance to the Imperial Research Institute.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties, his hair looked disheveled, but at first glance, it was clear he was an academic. Upon seeing Jing Shu, he didn’t say much and directly took out the file for sharing 15% of the lab’s shares, asking her to sign it.

Jing Shu: "..."

She said she wouldn’t sign, so Dr. Liu just stood at the entrance without speaking.

Jing Shu coughed, helplessly signed it, gaining another bunch of bizarre things.

Then, Dr. Liu entered the institute with her and handed over the octopuses. Conveniently, Dr. Liu directly started working again, really quite quick.

Originally, Jing Shu had prepared some small gifts for the people in the lab, hoping they would take care of Dr. Liu.

After all, Dr. Liu is kind of one of her own now. This sudden promotion might mean facing difficulties, but she worried too much; Dr. Liu, tough and reserved, left quite a few people in awe of his skills within just half an hour.

Jing Shu was assured by this.

However——

The head of the research institute’s eyes lit up when he saw the container used to store the octopuses was actually one of the Hulks, "I wonder this adhesive——"

"Not for sale, not for sale!"

In the end, Jing Shu hurriedly took the Hulks out, always feeling that the people in the research institute seemed more interested in the Hulks.

After the task was handed over, Jing Shu felt a lot more relaxed and, together with Su Malie, wandered around the Imperial Capital to experience the emotions and food of a foreign city.

"Come on, let’s have some mung bean soup. I know a place that makes it really delicious." Su Malie pulled Jing Shu to go eat mung bean soup.

But even Jing Shu, who could eat stinky tofu with relish, couldn’t get used to mung bean soup, which had the smell of sour soaked socks. And this concoction was paired with fried dough sticks——

In the end, Jing Shu couldn’t bring herself to drink it.

One had to marvel at Su Malie, not only was she compassionate like the Holy Mother, but her tolerance for food was so vast too, no wonder she was so grand in stature, broad-minded and full-breasted.

Tan Ke heartily accepted it all. Being a native of the Imperial Capital, he also enjoyed drinking this stuff.

"Sister Jing, we might have another mission soon, and it’ll be with Zhen Nantian."

Jing Shu nodded, "Then it should be quite an important mission, otherwise they wouldn’t dispatch Zhen Nantian."

Tan Ke shrugged, "I don’t know. I just know there’s a huge uproar up there. Originally, they wanted to send out one team, but now several teams are competing to go; various factions are at odds."

"Oh." Jing Shu wasn’t interested in that.

Except for Dark Energy, she wasn’t interested in anything right now.

In the past year, in her previous lifetime, the air smelled like rotten eggs everywhere, constantly on the brink of vomiting, but at least there was food to eat, and the people’s happiness index increased significantly, feeling a bit safer. It was a rare stable period.

In this lifetime, she even had an air purifier and had massively produced masks and respirators.

In such a peaceful disaster year, it would be a real waste not to laze around like a salted fish.

So, she’s thinking about taking a year and a half to rest, and prevent future natural disasters.

Tan Ke coughed mysteriously, "Sister Jing, don’t you know that one of the teams is led by Jun Bao, the ruler of Wu City, so there’s a chance we’ll go on a mission together again this time!"

Hmm—huh??

Jing Shu suddenly raised her head, caught up in gossip about herself again, "Our ruler is also involved in this? He hasn’t seemed troubled by anything recently." Jing Shu frowned.

Suddenly remembering what Jun Bao had said and hinted at before the New Year.

That tyrant, always speaking cryptically, can’t you just say things plainly, always preferring to insinuate.

Jing Shu pondered for a while and said, "I might know what it’s about. If it’s really about that, it might actually be troublesome."

The final result was that she didn’t eat well, and Jing Shu ended up thinking about all sorts of random things.

By midnight, Tan Ke escorted Jing Shu and Su Malie back to the spaceship by plane.

Finally, her anxious heart settled. This vacation, turned out she played for three days and worked for four, potentially having to work seven or eight more days continuously. Such torment.

She even let Mr. Jing and Mrs. Jing take a few more days off.

When Jing Shu and her family returned to the South Sea, the New Year’s atmosphere had completely faded, and everyone finally returned to normal life.
