three days later.

The new combat uniforms were ready, and all five of them were putting them on at the entrance.

Zhang Dapeng nagged patiently, "Look, look, you insist on going. The temperature outside is almost 80 degrees Celsius today, and meteorites are still falling from time to time. What a huge prize! It's for you five idiots, why do you have to go?"

Wu Zhe looked down and zipped up his jacket. "It's not about the bonus. Of course, the more the better, and points can buy a lot of good things. But the main thing is that we need to gain experience. Otherwise, we'll just become useless!"

Gao Lei put on his quick-drying undershirt and then his silk outer jacket. The combat suit was just the right weight, neither too light nor too heavy.

The man didn't argue with Zhang Dapeng, but instead praised him, seemingly unrelated to the question, saying, "Brother Zhang, you have excellent skills!"

Zhang Dapeng was already troubled when he heard this, and said, "Go away! Get out of here!"

He had a cigarette between his fingers, but he didn't light it, afraid of offending the younger children with the smoke.

Gao Lei grinned foolishly.

Luo Na tied up her long red hair and said to Zhang Dapeng, "Brother Zhang, stop worrying so much. The kids are all grown up. You're not that much older than us, so why do you sound so much like a doting father? Hahaha!"

Zhang Dapeng said, "If I had children like you, I'd be worried to death. Just wait, I can't argue with you, so I'll let Dr. Zhao talk to you."

He remained silent.

Huo Ling was straightening Lin Shuangshuang's clothes, tugging at the hem, adjusting the collar, and zipping up her coat. He glanced at Zhang Dapeng briefly, then asked, "What? Playing the silent treatment?"

Zhang Dapeng laughed in anger, "Who can outdo you in using passive-aggressive tactics? Shuang'er, aren't you right?"

Lin Shuangshuang quickly nodded, "Yes."

Huo Ling clicked his tongue, glanced at Lin Shuangshuang, and said, "When did I ever give you the silent treatment?"

It's just cold.

Was it violent?

Lin Shuangshuang nervously scratched her sleeve, looked around, and didn't answer.

Zhang Dapeng said to Huo Ling, "Why are you bullying her? You can't even let her speak the truth!"

Huo Ling sighed helplessly, "Fine, it's my fault." He turned Lin Shuangshuang around, "I'll do your hair."

Lin Shuangshuang immediately obeyed. She hated tying her hair the most, as her curly hair was too difficult to manage, but it was surprisingly obedient in Huo Ling's hands.

Huo Ling was very skilled; she braided her hair into two braids and tied them with small white seashell hair ties.

Pink hair goes well with white hair.

"Alright."

Huo Ling asked her to check her luggage, while he started to tidy himself up, making sure his collar was tight and his cuffs were buttoned up to prevent small insects from getting in.

The trouser legs should also be wrapped and buttoned up.

Zhang Dapeng was very satisfied after looking at it. "Because we're going to clean up the beehives this time, I'm worried that they might crawl into your clothes and hurt you. So I designed a small strip of cloth for your cuffs and trouser legs. You can wrap it around twice and then button it up. The button is hard to undo, so don't worry about it coming undone."

The cuffs and pant legs also have a little bit of elastic, so they won't feel tight.

Luo Na and the other two couldn't help but exclaim, "How thoughtful of you, Brother Zhang!" "Brother Zhang, you're so considerate!" "Yeah, you even have such clever ideas!"

Zhang Dapeng told them to stop joking, "I'm not buying it. The five of you can make the decision about the mission, but aren't the two of us important?"

He gets angry when he talks about this.

Although logistics doesn't involve any risks, what's the point of living if those five die? No matter how good the product is, I won't see their surprised expressions; just thinking about it is suffocating.

Lin Shuangshuang felt a little guilty and began to hesitate, wondering if she had been too hasty. "Sorry, I started it," she said, wanting to take the lead.

Luo Na and the other two quickly said it had nothing to do with her, and Zhang Dapeng also said, "Hey, no, Shuang'er, I'm not blaming you. Don't blame yourself. It's not like you forced them to participate. No, I'm not saying it's bad for you to take on this mission. I'm just worried."

A roughneck was almost driven to desperation; he was terrible with words.

Luo Na and her two friends watched the spectacle with amusement, even fanning the flames. "See? Who told you to nag, Brother Zhang? Feeling guilty nagging the kids now?!" "Exactly!"

Zhang Dapeng glared at Luo Na and the other two, thinking that they were not only not helping, but also stirring up trouble.

Huo Ling was gloating, but he also protected his own. He couldn't bear to see Lin Shuangshuang blame herself. He said to Zhang Dapeng, "It's already happened. It's alright. It was my fault. I should have informed you two earlier. I'll apologize later."

Zhang Dapeng was only able to calm down after that.

Try to appease one.

Zhao Pingsheng was born, carrying a box of things. His eyes were dark and swollen, clearly from staying up all night. His steps were a little unsteady. "Here!"

He was also quite annoyed.

"What is it?"

Huo Ling didn't mind his temper. She knew he also had a bad temper but a soft heart. Otherwise, how could they be friends? They just had similar personalities.

Zhao Pingsheng resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "The disinfectant, swelling-reducing, and pain-relieving medicine is for you. If you accidentally get stung by a bee, get a shot right away. It contains medicine. After the injection, take the medicine. It should basically save your life."

He finished speaking with his hands behind his back, using such cold and sarcastic language.

Huo Ling opened the box and divided it equally among everyone, then said to Zhao Pingsheng, "Thank you."

Zhao Pingsheng suddenly lost his breath, but his expression remained grim. "This is an SSS-level mission. Do any of you understand the danger?"

He said seriously.

Lin Shuangshuang stepped forward and said, "I know, but if we don't wipe them out, they're really in danger."

As Gao Lei said, among the known teams of superhumans, there are few of them with a higher level. If they don't go, how many superhumans would have to be sacrificed to destroy the hive? What if they sacrifice themselves and still can't destroy it? Humanity will lose another batch of elite teams, while the hive continues to multiply, and the living area will be compressed again and again.

The occupied areas are already countless, and there are not many areas left for human activity. If we continue to retreat, we will eventually be trapped and suffocated.

Lin Shuangshuang suddenly understood what Jia Yi and the others were doing: standing at the very front of this defensive line, trying to maximize the living space for humanity and ensure the continuation of humankind.

She vaguely sensed that in the apocalypse, one could not survive simply by remaining uninvolved.

Some of the building materials and parts for the small castle came from human bases, including daily necessities and the latest disaster warnings. These are not things that the seven of them could do alone. What if the small castle is damaged one day and they can no longer find supplies and parts?

Without official disaster detection and early warning systems, how can they prepare in advance? If only seven of them remain in the world, are they even capable of surviving to the end?

The little monster has been thinking a lot lately, writing and deleting notes repeatedly.

The phrase "community of shared future" appeared quietly and has never disappeared since.

It was firmly imprinted in her mind.

Lin Shuangshuang expressed her thoughts to them. She spoke in a calm and even tone, and the more she spoke, the clearer her thoughts became.

But this left them speechless for a long time.

Zhao Pingsheng was shocked, but finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "What you said makes sense."

For some reason, the three of them, including Rona, had slightly red eyes. "My feelings are so complicated, my mind is so confused, but Shuang'er is right." "It feels like we need to grow a brain." "Suddenly, the road ahead seems even darker."

Huo Ling reached out and touched Lin Shuangshuang's hair. As her partner, he was the first person to realize her thoughts and vaguely knew what big decision she was about to make, but today, hearing her say it herself made him feel proud.

Zhang Dapeng then asked, "Does Shuang'er intend to actively participate in official missions and cooperate with the authorities to strive for more chances of survival for humanity?"

Lin Shuangshuang nodded earnestly.

Zhang Dapeng smiled and said, "Okay, good job! I understand what you mean."
