"An Yan, that move you just made was really cool. You used her own methods against her. *slap*, you splashed the water from her water-based ability back onto her face."

"Just something I thought of on the spur of the moment."

Jin Feiyang clenched his fist to encourage himself: "I will work hard and try to send other people's metal-type abilities back the way they came."

Actually, his metal element is already very strong, ranking among the top ten in the base, but he can't stand having a weirdo like Yu Anyan around who does the opposite of what he's supposed to do after awakening.

After being away for more than a week, Shen Jinyao already had two new teammates by his side discussing things.

See? There are always people striving to improve themselves.

Lin Meng sat on the small stool that Yu Anyan had brought out and exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing! They've already gotten to the captain's side? These two could at least be branch captains."

"One of them is a mentalist. As long as their character and personality are acceptable, the captain should place them in the main team."

"This world has really changed. Will it become a world dominated by superpowers in the future? Those with superpowers, and those with rarer superpowers, will have more say."

"That's normal. It's the same in any era. In ancient times, poor families supported scholars with the full resources of their clans. Why? Because a scholar with official rank represented a certain amount of influence. It was the same before the end of the world. In any industry, once you manage to reach the top, your influence will increase."

"That's true. When I was in college, there was a top student in our department who got into a doctoral program with a famous professor. The university president would greet him with a smile whenever he saw him."

Looking at the gloomy sky, Yu Anyan suddenly thought of something: "It's December now, isn't it?"

"Yes, the Chinese New Year is almost here."

"That's not important. Wouldn't the temperature normally drop by this time?"

"Hmm, that seems to be the case. Since the apocalypse, the temperature doesn't seem to have changed much. Could the apocalypse have affected the temperature? If it's going to be this mild temperature from now on, that's pretty good."

Yu Anyan was worried about a sudden, rapid drop in temperature.

During dinner that evening, Yu Anyan voiced her concerns.

"The base authorities have been closely monitoring the climate. The average temperature at the bases we can contact is about the same as on the day of the apocalypse."

"Does that mean that a place that was 40 degrees Celsius on the day of the apocalypse will stay at roughly the same temperature?"

"Yes, we're located in the northern part of the area, so the temperature has always been a comfortable 20 degrees Celsius."

"Let's collect more heating and cooling devices, just in case."

"Alright, after we get back, have Qin Lang lead the team out here."

Yu Anyan decided that this time she would only collect tin stoves, coal, firewood and the like. The whole team was Shen Jinyao's business, and the whole base was the government's business. She just needed to take care of herself and the people around her.

"Mengmeng, how about renting out space using your skills?" Yu Anyan whispered to Lin Meng, covering her mouth with her hand.

Lin Meng is a good cook, especially good at making snacks. In this era where everyone is careful with their food, making snacks outside is too conspicuous. Unfortunately, she is not good at cooking and does not like to make them.

"Sure, I'm the one who benefits, I couldn't be happier!"

Jin Feiyang: "I heard you, I want one too."

"You need to use crystal cores."

Why?

"Because you have no skills."

"Would it be alright if I sold myself?"

"No, you're not as pretty as Mengmeng."

"How can that be the same?"

"Oh, you're not as good-looking as Shen Jinyao either," Yu Anyan said directly in comparison.

Shen Jinyao: "I will not participate in your competition."

"Don't say anything. I'm saying you're good-looking, so you're good-looking. It has nothing to do with you." Yu Anyan gave him a very inelegant sidelong glance.

Jin Feiyang/Shen Jinyao: The real culprit!

Shen Shiquan then quipped, "Would you be willing to sell yourself to a better-looking captain?"

The scene fell silent. Lin Meng and Yu Anyan, the two newcomers, looked at Shen Shiquan in surprise. How could someone who looked so shrewd think of betraying his boss to his face?

The others seemed to have gotten used to his blunt and uncompromising way of speaking, and went about their business.

Only Shen Jinyao had a dark expression.

Yu Anyan: "I can't afford it!"

"The captain offered himself up?" Shen Shiquan even added, completely ignoring his young master's dark expression.

"Men only slow down my speed in drawing my sword, especially a handsome but troublesome man like him who attracts all sorts of women."

Shen Jinyao forced out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Shouldn't you talk about your boss behind their back?"

"oh!"

"Okay, we'll talk about it after you leave."

Shen Jinyao ate the last bite of noodles, put down his chopsticks, stood up and left. Shen Shishun stood up after him and tapped Shen Shiquan on the head before leaving.

"I'm impressed! If you want to talk bad about the boss, you can drive him away!" Lin Meng gave them a thumbs up. She could never speak so casually in front of Shen Jinyao.

Shen Shiquan, who she grew up with, is one thing, but Yu Anyan didn't even know her for more than a few days. How did they become so familiar with each other?

Yu Anyan is carefree. She has already completed her main mission in this world. Her main purpose in staying is to refine the space. She got too caught up in the previous mission world, so here, she can do whatever makes her comfortable.

The education that Shen Jinyao and his group received meant that they could make friends with anyone, but they could retain their own retreat.

This mission took nearly a month to complete, resulting in the loss of nine superhumans. Several truckloads of supplies were brought back, and the trucks that went out were fully loaded. Several more trucks were even temporarily repaired on the road and brought back.

"I need to rest for a few days, so I won't be going on the next mission." After Yu Anyan returned, she immediately asked Qin Lang for leave because the next mission was for Qin Lang to lead a team to collect heating supplies, and there were only two days of rest between the two missions.

"Alright, while you were away, I acquired two more spatial abilities. Although their spaces aren't as large as yours, they're about the same size when combined."

Lin Meng's superpower is quite special. It is said that there are no more than ten people with healing abilities in the bases that can be contacted. She has to go with them on missions involving dozens of people leaving the base.

"Sigh, even in the apocalypse, we still have to be treated like cattle."

"You're a high-class beast of burden. As long as you work hard, everyone will revolve around you. Which beast of burden ever received this treatment?" Yu Anyan teased Lin Meng, holding back the ham that was trying to jump on her.

"Your ham grows so fast!"

"Yes, it's very heavy, I can't carry it." Perhaps because it's a superhuman animal, it grows much faster than a normal dog.

"Has the direction of its special ability been determined?"

"I'll go back and try it later. Last time it spat out a breath of black gas at me, but I couldn't see anything. After that, it never successfully used its powers again until I went on a mission."

"If it's a really powerful ability, we can take it with us on the next mission." Lin Meng reached out and patted Ham's head. "There's an ability captain in District 3 who has a huge dog. It's really impressive to take him out. His own ability is just average. He's only able to be the captain because of his dog, an extremely fast dog."
