It will take one or two days for the other mission teams to arrive.

They set up camp here.

Luo Na and her two companions would chat with these civilian teams to gather information, only to discover that there were quite a few talented individuals among them.

"I heard that someone built a small underground city. That guy is a sixth-level ability user. The city is small but complete. Unfortunately, it is very well hidden. He said that those who are destined will meet naturally. He only accepts those who are destined. But I can understand it. The place is not big."

If everyone were taken in, there would definitely not be enough room for so many survivors.

"I know that Sky City was a success. One of them was built by a friend of a friend of a friend. His safe city isn't very big, but it can withstand the high temperatures! It has a protective shield and is not threatened by mutated animals on the ground, but it will encounter attacks from mutated birds, hehe! It seems that we are all the same, just facing different dangers."

"How is that the same? You can also be attacked by mutated birds on the ground. At least half of the danger can be avoided in the air. Speaking of which, I really want to go."

"Come on, these private safe cities or safe houses all come with conditions. Either you have to be very strong, or you have to have a skill."

"Even if you get in, it won't necessarily be much freer than the official base. Smaller places have even more rules, and there are people who got in before you, people who have good relationships with the city lord and the homeowners. You'll be at the very bottom once you get in. Doesn't that make you feel bad?"

"Exactly, if you're ostracized or forced to work like a slave for them, you'll behave. Going to a small safe city or a private safe house is not as good as going to an official base. Even if you're not free, at least it's legal and compliant."

"Sigh, let's forget about it then."

They couldn't control their gossip at all and decided to stay here for the time being.

Because it was too hot, they had no energy to move anymore, so they might as well lie down in the shade and save up their strength in a couple of days before continuing.

still have a question.

That means if the bigwigs of the metal castle in front of them don't leave, they won't leave either.

After all, something might have happened up ahead.

Some clever kids did ask Rona and the other two about it. A few of the bolder ones were willing to share some information with Rona after she asked them for it, since it wasn't exactly a big secret.

The authorities are still recruiting teams of superhumans; the team isn't full yet.

A young man with a buzz cut was shocked upon hearing this and exclaimed, "What? Something this big happened? How come I didn't see it? Are our rankings the same?! Zombie Valley? What is that?"

A woman next to him tapped him on the head, "What are you yelling about? Trying to call everyone over?" After scolding him, the woman turned to Rona and said, "Thank you, sister. If you hadn't been willing to speak up, we might have had to leave in the next couple of days. We really couldn't afford to wait any longer."

They have plenty of food, but not much fresh water. The water-type ability user in the team also said that the air is getting drier and they are worried that they won't be able to use their water-type abilities. So they have already decided to set off in the next two days.

Thankfully, we haven't set off yet.

Lorna laughed and said, "You're welcome. Are you a late-stage Tier 5 ability user, sister? The members of the team are all of high level. A small team of seven or eight people can't get through this alone. Why don't you join the mission and let's all work together?"

That way we can leave here sooner.

The other person thought about it carefully for a moment, then nodded and extended their hand to Rona and the other two. "Okay, my name is Xuan Ying, and this is my cousin, Jian Yi. Could you send me the link? I'll accept the mission."

Lorna smiled and said, "Of course, just wait, I'll send it to you."

The two added each other as friends amicably.

Jian Yi was about the same age as Wu Zhe, and the two could chat together. He had just been scolded by his sister and was rubbing his head and sighing.

Wu Zhe laughed as he watched, realizing that he wasn't the only one who was often scolded by his older siblings.

Jian Yi asked curiously, "Hey buddy, are these two your biological older brother and sister?"

Wu Zhe laughed and said, "No, but we're even closer than brothers and sisters."

Luo Na and Gao Lei took good care of him.

Jianyi expressed her envy, "They treat you so well even though they're not related by blood? I see them taking you everywhere they go, and they always protect you behind them."

He's seen these three people frequently coming down to do things these past few days. There should be other people among them, but they rarely show their faces. He guesses they are people of higher status than the three of them.

Wu Zhe nodded. "Your sister is very good to you too. She only scolded you because she was worried about you."

Jian Yi chuckled, revealing his bright white teeth. He said he knew the young man was tanned like charcoal, but he had a very cheerful personality. "My sister is a really nice person, and I love her so much. I'd do anything for her."

He said it with his hand on his chest.

Wu Zhe rarely met someone his own age, and they quickly struck up a conversation. He then learned that Jian Yi was actually two years younger than him, only sixteen years old this year.

Jianyi said that he usually studies knowledge. His cousin is a top student and makes him study. He learns everything. As long as it is useful, his cousin says he has to learn it.

Wu Zhe said it was really scary, "Our family doesn't care about these things, as long as we're happy."

Luo Na and Gao Lei both had good grades and were top students, but they didn't push him to study. They said they didn't know when he would die, so they just enjoyed each day as it came. When they weren't going out, they would just lie around in the little castle.

Jianyi asked curiously, "I saw a very pretty girl with pink hair last time."

Wu Zhe gasped, "Don't even think about it! That's my sister, and she has a boyfriend!"

Jianyi's face turned bright red. "I...I know, of course I know! That's not what I meant! I just thought she was pretty, I didn't think anything else."

Wu Zhe said warily, "It had better be, otherwise we'd be done for, you know? My brother Huo and sister Shuangshuang are the most loving couple in the world. Don't even mention me being angry; if my sister Nana knew you wanted to break up her couple, she'd probably tear you apart."

He said it with a serious expression.

Jianyi was completely bewildered. Huh? What is this? What is a CP? ???

The child doesn't understand at all.

Even his slightest affection was completely extinguished by Wu Zhe's fright.

Jian Yi blushed and said, "I just complimented her on her looks, I didn't intend to be with her, don't be nervous."

Wu Zhe looked him over carefully, only feeling relieved after confirming he wasn't lying. "Is there eight people on your team?"

Jianyi glanced back at his teammates. "Yes, eight of them. On the surface, they all listen to my sister, but one or two of them have ulterior motives. It's hard to manage so many people, but we haven't completely fallen out. We're mostly together because of mutual benefit; our relationship isn't as deep as yours."

He could see Wu Zhe's protectiveness towards the pink-haired girl and her boyfriend, and he could also see Luo Na and Gao Lei's protection of Wu Zhe. This showed that their team had a good relationship, because they protected each other in ways that were not visible to the outside world. This was not just for show; they genuinely cared about each other.

Wu Zhe laughed and said, "Of course! Because we are teammates, and also family."
