Because of her looks, Luo Na was often stared at. She could tell what kind of person someone was just by looking at them. But the three people in front of her, Captain Huo looked at her as if she were a man, with a very calm gaze. Gao Lei and Wu Zhe only had admiration for her fighting ability in their eyes.

There's really nothing to worry about.

She only found out later that she had become the last teammate in the squad.

They were really lucky.

Huo Ling did not consider taking in any other decent superhumans he encountered later.

He doesn't like crowds.

Once the team had enough members, he stopped accepting any new members.

They are very cold to outsiders.

Even when others expressed a desire to join the team and follow the four of them, Huo Ling never gave in; his willpower was truly unwavering.

Luo Na sighed, "Shuang'er, do you know that back then there were superhumans who were as beautiful as celebrities, and there were also people who were stronger than some of us, but Captain Huo just coldly said that our team was already full."

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe nodded in agreement. "Brother Huo can be quite easygoing at times, haha." "Exactly, exactly, so we three just had good luck."

Successfully latched onto a powerful backer.

If the three of them had met Huo Ling even a little later, they might have missed each other.

That's why people say that fate is a mysterious thing.

Zhang Dapeng was different from them. Huo Ling approached him before the apocalypse and hired him to help with the small castle construction project. He was an engineer and had quite a few people helping him at the time.

However, after the apocalypse broke out, Huo Ling only came to pick him up. The others were just employees, and their personalities were more or less problematic. In addition, they all had a lot of relatives and friends, and he was afraid of trouble later. So he didn't take any of them, but just took away Zhang Dapeng who had no ties.

As for the relatives of Rona and the other two, it's a bit sad to talk about them.

Wu Zhe's family relationship was not good to begin with. His parents were busy with their business, so he lived with relatives from a young age and did not have a deep relationship with his parents. After his parents had a second child, he lived with his younger brother and sister. It was only when he was admitted to the city where his parents lived that he realized they really did not love him.

So when Huo Ling invited him to join the team, Wu Zhe nodded in agreement without hesitation. With that nod, he was no longer a child who no one cared about.

"My older brother and sister are all very kind to me. Really, it was only after I came to the little castle that I had my own room, a room that belongs only to me. It's not a room where I can stay for two days at one place and two days at another. It's a room where I can stay for a long time."

Wu Zhe's eyes were red. He was indeed just a child at heart, only eighteen years old by Chinese reckoning. No wonder Gao Lei and Luo Na always treated him like a kid.

Lorna reached out and patted his head. "Hey, what's there to cry about? Don't cry."

Gao Lei said with a smile, "From now on, we won't have to be homeless anymore, and neither will I."

His relationship with his family was also very tense, and they were actually not on good terms. Every family has its own problems. His mother was hysterical and extremely controlling, while his father was a gambler and womanizer.

Two rotten people.

Because the two of them would take their anger out on Gao Lei when they were unhappy. When he was little, he was covered in bruises, but after he grew up and got into university, they could no longer do anything about him.

Luo Na felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this, and patted Gao Lei on the shoulder, "Hey, you're doing this too, huh?"

She doesn't want to cry.

Her family life was also unhappy; her parents divorced and each started their own families.

Three small bitter gourds.

Zhao Pingsheng was the same. His parents said that he had become stupid from studying and doing research, so they didn't support him at all. They kicked him out of the house and sent him to keep an alias.

Bitter melon, add another one.

Zhang Dapeng came from an orphanage. He had no parents, but his life was alright. The orphanage wasn't that bad, but there wasn't much of a bond there either. He rarely went back, but he would send money regularly. Seeing that the others who did have parents weren't doing so well either, and that their stories were all heartbreaking, he thought, "Hey, why doesn't any of us have a happy family?"

That's a really hurtful thing to say.

Everyone was left speechless, neither laughing nor crying.

Huo Ling accepted it well. He was making plans for the future when he heard the question and replied, "Can someone who's truly happy and fulfilled sit here? It's like looking for patients in a hospital or diners in a restaurant—isn't it obvious?"

If you're truly happy, you should be with your family right now.

Huo Ling looked them over and asked, "Do you feel unhappy?"

This surprised everyone.

After listening to everyone's stories, Lin Shuangshuang felt sorry for them. She secretly made notes in case she lost her memory and said the wrong thing. She also updated her teammates' personal information again.

When Huo Ling asked this question, Lin Shuangshuang was the first to answer. She said, "I am very happy now. As long as I am with Huo Ling, I am the happiest person in the world. I am also very happy to know you all. You are all very good, so my happiness is doubled."

Everyone was stunned again.

Even if they feel happy and like each other, adults are often too embarrassed to say it out loud, feeling shy and hesitant to speak up.

The little monster won't.

Because someone taught her how to express love, she is very open and confident.

Huo Ling smiled as expected.

Lin Shuangshuang secretly took his hand and comforted him by holding his fingers.

They held hands tightly.

She remembered Huo Ling's loneliness and sadness, so she wanted him to know that she was there for him.

I'll never leave again.

Lorna sobbed with emotion, "Waaah, Shuangshuang, you're so kind, really, so incredibly kind. You've saved us so many times, I can't even count them all."

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe nodded repeatedly; neither of them were particularly good with words.

Thin-skinned.

Her ears were bright red.

Zhao Pingsheng slumped onto the sofa, glanced at the news, and said weakly, "Sigh, is this some kind of misery contest? Enough, stop it."

The more I talk about it, the more bitter it gets.

Zhang Dapeng laughed heartily, "Isn't this the end of hardship and the beginning of happiness? I understand what Xiao Huo means. He means that since we feel happy, how can we not be family? We eat and live together, our personalities match, we won't betray each other, and we care about each other. What else could we be but family? Compared to family, the identity of teammates fighting side by side is much stronger. We have a life-or-death bond now!"

Trust is built up little by little. After spending so much time together, everyone knows each other's personalities very well.

It is mutual reliance on each other on the battlefield, and also mutual concern in daily life.

Everyone agrees with this point.

With tears welling up in his eyes, Wu Zhe said, "Anyway, I'll die with you guys even if I have to."

"Hey hey hey!" everyone interrupted in unison.

Huo Ling frowned. "What kind of talk is this? Let's end this topic and change it."

The young master has given the order.

Everyone chuckled and complied, knowing he was the most stubborn but soft-hearted person in the team.

Put relationship issues aside.

Now it all comes down to survival; how to use the official points is also a problem.

Huo Ling looked around and finally said, "Most bases have now retreated into the underground city. If you want to exchange for supplies, you can only go to the underground city."

Zhao Pingsheng said, "The mutated brain-eating amoeba is now more ferocious than before. The base is under strict control. Now it's probably easier to get in than to get out."
