Jianyi expressed envy: "If it were some of my teammates, they might stir things up and get outsiders to break up couples on the team, because they would be jealous."

Human nature is complex.

Wu Zhe asked him, "Then why are you still together? Aren't you worried they'll betray you?"

He couldn't understand.

After all, he had previously encountered someone who betrayed his teammate and even injured his brother Huo.

Jianyi shook his head and sighed, "It's not that simple. My sister said that the world is not black and white. They may have selfish motives, but that doesn't mean they can't be teammates. It's not easy to find complementary ability users. Forming a stable team is not that simple either."

That's why everyone is patient with each other and works together to resist the apocalyptic crisis.

Wu Zhe scratched his head. "This is so complicated."

There are seven people in their team, which is quite a lot, but there aren't that many things going on.

They have a good relationship.

Simply put, her sister wants to continue recruiting to expand the team, as more people mean greater safety.

Wu Zhe nodded and chatted with him for a while. The two of them avoided sensitive topics, kept quiet about things that couldn't be said, and didn't really trust each other.

Rona deliberately leaked the information, and some people who hadn't paid attention to the official missions didn't even know about it. The situation in Zombie Valley was uncertain, but the official recruitment hadn't stopped, so of course the more people the better.

"Earning fewer points is less important than having more security."

"That's what Lorna said."

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe nodded in agreement; they both agreed with this point.

This way, their team can save some energy, and Huo Ge and Shuangshuang Jie won't need to expend too much of their special abilities, which is the best outcome.

While Luo Na and the other two were busy gathering information and recruiting people, Huo Ling and Lin Shuangshuang watched from the small castle, showing no interest in it. Neither of them liked socializing much, and unless it was necessary, they didn't want to move at all.

Inside the small castle.

Lin Shuangshuang held her new steel pipe and tried it out. "Brother Zhang is amazing!"

Zhang Dapeng had just given her a new weapon that he had Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu fetch for her. The steel pipe was now heat-resistant, had two more gripping points, and was covered with a special material, making it very comfortable to hold and very smooth to swing.

Lin Shuangshuang weighed the item in her hand; it was a comfortable weight for her, which was perfect.

Huo Ling watched her try out the new weapon. "Hmm, it looks like its hardness has increased quite a bit."

Now I don't have to worry about it breaking.

Lin Shuangshuang liked it very much and couldn't put it down. After that, she put it in her space card. Recently, she used up a little water, so she made room for it.

She walked briskly towards Huo Ling and sat on his lap.

The little monster loves to snuggle in his arms.

I feel at ease.

Huo Ling had no objection. She came over and expertly put her arm around her, encircling her protectively. "Are you sleepy?"

He had nothing to do last night, so he discussed the frequency and intensity with her.

After all, she seemed to have some objections to this last time.

Lin Shuangshuang shook her head, snuggled up to him, and could hear his heartbeat in his arms. She liked it very much, and felt happy every day they made up.

With the help of memos, fragments of memories, and muscle memory, she had become quite accustomed to this lifestyle and was no longer as anxious as before. "When will the mission team arrive? The water here is almost gone, the ground is cracked, we should leave as soon as possible."

If her abilities hadn't been sealed and she hadn't been unable to move, she could have single-handedly taken on the entire Zombie Valley.

Huo Ling glanced at the mission list, which showed the distances of each squad. "It'll be soon. The first batch of squads will be in place tonight."

With the addition of several high-level teams persuaded by Rona and her team, they can set off tomorrow.

Lin Shuangshuang became happy and played with his hand, saying, "Okay."

**

The next morning.

Everyone gathered in a large, shadowy spot in the middle of the ruins, including the new team members, some from the government, and some familiar faces.

The siblings Qi Zhi and Qi Mo have recovered from their injuries and have gone on several missions.

They were surprised and delighted to run into Lin Shuangshuang and her group.

"What a coincidence!!!"

"Is this fate?"

Lorna and the other two were also shocked. "Is this world really that small?" "Yeah, how come we always run into you guys?" "Long time no see."

Huo Ling nodded to the two of them, but Lin Shuangshuang had no memory of the siblings at all.

The two exchanged brief pleasantries.

In the apocalypse, people die every day, so it's a blessing to run into someone you recognize.

They were both quite happy.

Luo Na and the other two hesitated for a moment, but still asked Qi Zhi and Qi Mo about their previous teammates. The two said that the last rescue operation suffered heavy losses, and that extreme cold was not much safer than extreme heat; it was just as dangerous.

Qi Mo still had that baby face, but his expression was sad. He said, "Captain Liu was a good man. He sacrificed himself to protect us."

Qi Zhi, who was usually indifferent, had tears welling up in her eyes when she mentioned her former captain.

Lorna and her two friends couldn't help but sigh, then patted the siblings on the shoulder in silent comfort, acknowledging that the other party had acted with fervor for the people and had indeed succeeded in doing so.

Qi Zhi and Qi Mo have changed a lot, they are completely transformed. Compared to when they first met, they are much more composed now.

They both talked at length about official matters and shared their lives with them.

They felt it was very meaningful.

"After we clear this area, our team will have to head south. Marine mutant creatures are stirring, and the authorities need to establish a lifeline to prevent them from penetrating the mainland."

"Yes, it's buying time for the dungeon, and also buying time for the civilian wandering teams. The mutated marine creatures have undergone the extreme cold trial, and they are fighting each other in the sea. Eight-star monsters are everywhere. Once the mutated marine creatures come ashore, they will probably pose a great threat to humans."

The siblings told them to be careful and, even if they didn't go to the official base, to find a suitable place to settle down as soon as possible. Of course, the siblings recommended that they join the official team or move into the underground base as soon as possible.

"This is your safe house? It's really cool, but extreme weather is too unpredictable. You still need to be prepared for anything. Good luck."

"Yes, live well. We weren't mature enough back then, and we even tried to drag you down with us. Part of the reason was because we were controlled by the city lord's Gu worms, and part of the reason was indeed because we weren't mature enough. We're sorry."

The siblings readily accepted their past shortcomings and faced their past head-on.

They have really grown a lot.

Lorna and the other two quickly said it was alright, after all, they had fought side by side before.

Huo Ling said that the past should be left in the past and there was no need to bring it up again.

The siblings couldn't help but laugh.

Although Lin Shuangshuang didn't remember them, she was quick-witted and could guess the cause and effect from the situation, so she didn't ask.

The siblings nodded at her.

Qi Mo openly praised Lin Shuangshuang for being beautiful and capable.

The little monster readily accepted.

"It seems like everyone's here. Let's go ahead; backup will arrive soon!"

Qi Zhi, now the team leader, immediately summoned her teammates.

Huo Ling and Lin Shuangshuang said there were no problems, and the encirclement and suppression officially began.
