58: Chapter 58 is like a base.
Hearing this, Huo Sixian tightened his fists, then said in a low voice, "Let's go, don't get exposed."
The four of them then vanished into the darkness.
However, Ye Qingqing knew nothing of this, because at this moment, her whole heart was focused on her new room.
Leading Ah Huang, Ye Qingqing looked around the room in front of her.
The room wasn't large; inside, there was only a 0.9-meter single bed and a small table.
Moreover, there was nothing on that single bed; it was completely empty.
Nevertheless, Ye Qingqing was quite satisfied; after all, this was a private space belonging to her and Ah Huang.
And it was enough for her to lie down; Ye Qingqing was already very content.
During these days, she had been drifting on the water every day, and although she could enter her space...
Ye Qingqing's time was still used sparingly.
She had been on edge every day, and looking at this small room now, her heart was suddenly filled with a sense of security.
Even Ah Huang was very excited.
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Ah Huang had become smarter—not just smart enough to understand human speech,
but that the puppy's overall sensitivity and thinking ability had undergone a qualitative leap.
Ye Qingqing looked at Ah Huang, raised an eyebrow, and simply let Ah Huang sit on the bed before untying his leash.
For the first time, she spoke to Ah Huang in a very solemn tone.
"Ah Huang, sit down."
Ah Huang looked at Ye Qingqing, his little puppy head tilting slightly, then he slowly sat down in front of her.
"Ah Huang, you can understand what I'm saying, right?"
Ye Qingqing asked Ah Huang this, but the moment the question left her mouth, she felt she must be crazy to ask a dog such a question.
However, a magical scene occurred.
Ah Huang barked at Ye Qingqing with great intelligence, as if saying, "You just realized?!"
Ye Qingqing's pupils dilated for a moment, then she took a deep breath and looked at Ah Huang, suddenly feeling that she couldn't tell much just by asking him.
So, Ye Qingqing took out two cans of food from her space.
One was chicken flavor, and the other was beef flavor.
Both were flavors Ah Huang loved to eat.
The moment Ye Qingqing took out the cans, Ah Huang's eyes changed, both eyes shining with sharp light.
He stared unblinkingly at the cans in Ye Qingqing's hands.
Seeing this, Ye Qingqing said playfully, "Ah Huang, there are two cans in front of you, one is chicken and one is beef."
"May I ask, are these two the cans you just dropped?"
Ye Qingqing held her breath, constantly observing Ah Huang's expression.
She didn't let even the slightest change in Ah Huang's expression escape her.
When Ah Huang heard Ye Qingqing's words, his ears twitched slightly, and then he looked at Ye Qingqing with a look as if he were looking at an idiot.
Ah Huang raised his right paw, first pointing to the chicken can on the left, then to the beef can on the right.
Just as Ye Qingqing was about to feel disappointed, Ah Huang shook his head.
Ye Qingqing was stunned! She stood completely frozen on the spot.
She had always thought Ah Huang was smart, but it was nowhere near this level.
This was clearly understanding her words and thinking about them.
Ye Qingqing still couldn't believe it, so she took out a paper cup from her space, put a toy ball inside, and began to shuffle them at high speed with her hands.
Then she let Ah Huang choose which paper cup the toy ball was in.
Ye Qingqing tried many times, and Ah Huang guessed right every single time.
This immediately made Ye Qingqing restless.
In fact, when they were on the inflatable boat, a doubt had formed in Ye Qingqing's mind because when she saw the Monster Fish in the water, she realized...
This was a sign of animals evolving.
If some animals were evolving or mutating, was it just one species, or were all animals doing so?
From that moment on, Ye Qingqing had planted a seed of suspicion in her heart.
During those days drifting on the water, Ye Qingqing had also been observing Ah Huang.
It wasn't until today that Ye Qingqing finally confirmed that Ah Huang had indeed evolved.
However, the direction of evolution wasn't very obvious; he had only become a bit smarter.
Unlike those Monster Fish, which not only gained intelligence but were also covered in sharp spikes.
Still, the current Ah Huang brought Ye Qingqing great joy.
Looking at Ah Huang now, Ye Qingqing felt like she was looking at some rare treasure.
However, she could no longer tease the dog for no reason in the future; after all, Ah Huang was now an intelligent dog.
Just as Ye Qingqing was immersed in this joy, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Qingqing looked at the paper cups in the room and immediately put them into her space. After confirming that there was only her one black backpack in the room, she opened the door.
Outside the door was an older woman who looked very gentle.
When she looked at Ye Qingqing, her smile was very polite: "Hello, you must be Miss Ye Qingqing. I'm the Dorm Supervisor in charge of this residential area. I'm here to take you to collect some daily supplies and, while we're at it, explain the rules on our ship."
Listening to the woman, Ye Qingqing felt for a moment like she had returned to her university dorms. How could there even be a Dorm Supervisor?!
But Ye Qingqing didn't show any objection and followed the woman with Ah Huang in tow.
Along the way, Ye Qingqing learned that this woman was named Wang Guifen. She used to be a Dorm Supervisor before, so her current job on the ship was a perfect match for her skills.
Survivors on this ship could choose to live for free; after all, on this ship, The Authorities wouldn't just throw you off.
So they provided one free meal every day, but it was just a bowl of white porridge so thin it could hardly be called porridge.
Of course, on this ship, if you wanted to get other food or supplies, you could exchange your labor for them.
It was just like before the Post-Apocalyptic World; after all, a workhorse is a worker no matter where they go.
Wang Guifen even mocked herself: "Luckily I came early. There was a vacancy for a Dorm Supervisor, so I started right away. Otherwise, I'd also be hanging on by a thread with just one bowl of white porridge a day."
Listening to Wang Guifen, Ye Qingqing actually found this Dorm Supervisor quite interesting. In this situation, she still had the heart to joke with her.
"We're here. I'll leave you here, my job is done."
"This is the Supply Exchange Center and the dining area for the whole ship; it's quite convenient."
"If you go to the left from here, you can collect a free portion of supplies. To the right, you can go have porridge."
"Oh, right, you also need to go get an ID Card processed. I almost forgot that. Just go straight ahead."
"Goodbye, young lady, I'm off duty."
Watching Wang Guifen's departing back, Ye Qingqing felt that Wang Guifen was actually somewhat cute.
Following Wang Guifen's instructions, Ye Qingqing walked straight ahead.
It had to be said, this Warship was really quite large, like a base with everything inside.
From a distance, Ye Qingqing saw a counter ahead.
