After deciding to temporarily join the official team, they prepared to head to the survivor base in City A.

Huo Ling first asked Su Yu for a batch of supplies to repair the small castle, while Zhao Pingsheng and Zhang Dapeng chose to stay at home.

After registering, the small castle was parked near the base entrance. It was kept in stealth mode most of the time. In case of any problems, whether the small castle entered the A City base for emergency refuge or Huo Ling and the others needed to escape, there would be a way out. This was the result of their discussion.

Su Yuquan agreed to their request, and supplies are being prepared.

Lin Shuangshuang had accumulated nearly a billion points, including those earned by Zhao Pingsheng and Zhang Dapeng from publishing papers, which she could use all at once.

Before leaving home.

Both the group going out and the group staying behind were very worried about each other and couldn't help but give each other repeated instructions.

Huo Ling told them to be careful, "Contact us immediately if you encounter any danger. Things are different now than before. Too many people have seen our safe house. It's better to be safe than sorry. They might come looking for us again."

Lin Shuangshuang suggested that the two of them go into the base together and put the little castle into their space, but Zhao Pingsheng disliked the Zhao family and did not want to meet his family. Zhang Dapeng could not let go of the little castle and insisted on staying to repair it.

Moreover.

The first and second children, the third and fourth children, the fifth and sixth children also need to be looked after.

Don't underestimate them just because they seem inconspicuous.

But with them around, they really solved a major problem in the lives of the seven of them.

That's equivalent to ten nannies!!

Robots also require regular maintenance, and they can feel lonely when placed in a space.

Zhang Dapeng laughed and said, "Don't worry, their target is Shuang'er. After you leave, they'll shift their attention. You should be extra careful. Besides, even if someone dares to cause trouble, we're not pushovers! We're both at the late stage of the sixth rank!"

Looking at the world today, a late-stage sixth-tier ability user is considered one of the best among all ability users.

Zhao Pingsheng, wearing a white lab coat, adjusted his glasses, then put his hands in his pockets and nodded, saying, "Stop arguing. You guys just focus on earning points and buying more materials. As for me, I'll focus on doing experiments at home and researching antidotes for the brain-eating worm and pollution values ​​as soon as possible. Old Zhang, you can focus on upgrading the small castle and turning it into an indestructible safe house."

He said everyone should continue with the usual division of labor and cooperation, while the five of them needed to be extremely careful.

"There are advantages to leaving the two of us outside. The equipment in the small castle can't keep up with the current level of the apocalypse, so it needs a major upgrade. It's a fact that Lao Zhang can't leave, and my experiments can't stop either."

Seeing that Luo Na and the other two seemed hesitant to speak, Zhao Pingsheng added, "Besides, being here gives you a way out, doesn't it? If you encounter danger, the little castle will be repaired, and we can just run away."

Cooperating with the authorities is the only option left, so we'll just have to make do for now.

Huo Ling sighed and said helplessly, "Could you give me a moment to speak?"

They talked for a long time in one breath.

Zhang Dapeng grinned foolishly.

Zhao Pingsheng rolled his eyes. "Alright, what else is there to say? Stop talking. Didn't we agree on everything in the meeting? Everyone, go do what you're supposed to do."

He started chasing people away.

Zhang Dapeng, however, became worried again and started nagging the five of them: "I made five sets of combat uniforms for each of you. There are meteor showers outside all the time, the radiation is too strong, and the temperature is so high. You can't run out of these. If you run out, come back and I'll get you new ones. Don't skimp on the food when you eat out. It's not like home, not like Xiao Yi or Xiao Er, where they'll cook whatever you want..."

Huo Ling said she understood. Luo Na and the other two laughed after hearing this, saying that Zhang Dapeng's fatherly habits were incurable. "Brother Zhang, please stop nagging." "Brother, would you like some water?" "Don't worry, we'll take good care of ourselves."

Zhang Dapeng was very worried, but he nodded and said, "Alright, go ahead."

Huo Ling checked Lin Shuangshuang's clothes, then looked at Luo Na and the other two to make sure they were all dressed properly before leading them downstairs.

Recently, Zhang Dapeng recruited the little robots, and they are all busy doing manual labor, assembling and repairing parts of the little castle.

So I can't come and see them off.

The entrance to the small castle was very quiet, and I felt a little out of place at first.

There are fewer chattering robots.

Zhang Dapeng and Zhao Pingsheng watched them leave from the doorway as the five of them drove away.

The little castle fell completely silent.

The two of them, now "lonely old people," looked at each other, turned and left, each returning to their own places to begin a new round of busy work.

The little castle activated its stealth mode, hiding at the base entrance, within the protected area, in a mountain of "garbage"—actually various discarded items recovered earlier, piled up here because they haven't been sorted out yet.

The official team hasn't had time to organize things lately, so nobody's coming here at all.

This is perfect for covering one's tracks.

The little castle entered a 100% defense mode, meaning it was in a state of no entry and no exit. All the curtains were drawn, and coupled with the previous attack by the meteor storm, the outer shell was riddled with holes, tattered, and dusty. So, mixed in with the "garbage dump," it was indeed inconspicuous.

Lin Shuangshuang turned around and saw the little castle. She remembered the photos in her memo. At first, the little castle was a beautiful metal building, but now...

Huo Ling raised his hand and pressed it against her head, signaling her to stop looking. "Once we resolve this, we can go home."

Lin Shuangshuang nodded heavily, though she felt a moment of confusion deep down. She was being targeted, and this person wielded so much power.

Can it really be resolved smoothly?

She was worried about affecting Huo Ling and the others. Although they stood firmly on her side, she still felt guilty. If they hadn't met her, maybe they would have been better off. They could have lived a peaceful life with their little castle.

Huo Ling could see right through her wild thoughts, so he coldly reminded her, "Don't think about things you shouldn't. If you dare to run away or kick me out, go ahead and try. You'll definitely regret it."

He glanced at her.

Lin Shuangshuang glanced at him quickly, startled by his gaze, instantly snapping out of her pessimistic mood and guiltily saying, "I wasn't thinking anything."

Huo Ling chuckled and said, "You'd better be."

Lorna turned around in surprise and said, "What? What kind of riddle are you two playing? What's Shuang'er thinking? Who are you trying to kick out? None of the seven of us can leave! We're one! Understand? One! We can't do without any of us!"

Wu Zhe clenched his fist and waved it in agreement, saying, "That's right! No one can break us up!"

His gaze was very firm.

Gao Lei, who was driving, immediately chimed in, "Yes, we don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year! We just ask... mmm mmm mmm!!"

Wu Zhe and Luo Na immediately covered his mouth with a blanket. "Brother, shut up!" "You don't need to say that!!"

Huo Ling and Lin Shuangshuang couldn't help but laugh. Well, it seems that the seven of them really can't be separated.
