The village is surrounded by an electric fence, about five meters high and so wide that the edges are not visible.

The registration point was a small hut next to the gate, with a table placed at the entrance.

The villagers were dressed in thick clothes, completely covered up, looking fully armed, and even wearing the new official goggles.

"Oh, welcome, welcome! Comrades, please come in, please come in."

"Our vegetables haven't been fully loaded yet, so we'll have to trouble you all to stay a few more days. Of course, we've arranged accommodations for you, so please make the most of it!"

The village officials said this with a cheerful expression.

Huo Ling couldn't very well refuse, "Okay, you can do it as soon as possible."

Because the longer the mission duration, the fewer missions they have to take on.

The village officials immediately said no problem, "Many people have returned to the village these past few days. Before, everyone was traveling all over the country, but now that the apocalypse has arrived, all the survivors have come back. There's strength in numbers. Give us two more days, and we'll definitely be able to load the truck. We absolutely won't delay you."

The villagers were fully armed to ward off the cold.

Huo Ling and Lin Shuangshuang were the same; all five of them were wrapped up tightly.

The new village chief will give directions.

So they got into their car and led the way. Gao Lei drove, and the village chief sat in the passenger seat. "You can just call me Xiaotian. What should we call you, comrades?"

This person has an honest and simple appearance.

It's that internet celebrity guy they watched videos with before.

The one whose profile picture is a black dog.

The five of them introduced themselves one by one. "Big brother, you can just call me Huo Ling." "Lin Shuangshuang." "My name is Luo Na." "I'm Xiao Zhe." "I'm Gao Lei." The five of them looked like well-behaved kids.

Brother Xiaotian is 45 years old this year, his wife is 44 years old, they have two children and four elderly parents. Despite all this, he was able to remain calm in the face of danger, quickly evacuate his family, and successfully escape the first wave of disaster.

Wu Zhe couldn't help but praise, "Brother, your reaction time is amazing!"

"Eight people! They were moved so quickly, that's amazing!" Rona exclaimed.

Gao Lei nodded repeatedly.

Brother Xiaotian was a cheerful person. Hearing this, he laughed heartily, "Oh my, you're making me blush with your praise. Not at all! I was scared too, but what could I do? My family, young and old, were waiting for me to make a decision. If I got scared too, I wouldn't know what to do!"

He said he almost thought his home was gone, but thankfully it was still there after the rain receded.

"Before, it was all mud, and some weird monsters came. Several old people in the village were scared to death, and some people were even eaten at night."

At first, the village was in chaos. Although it was sparsely populated and better than the city, the survivors had no experience in dealing with the situation, and many people died. It was only later, when more and more people with superpowers appeared, that they began to fight back and gradually cleared away the mud and the corpses.

The village gradually returned to peace, and a tall protective net was erected.

"There's always a way out! This world has mutated plants and animals, zombies, and people with superpowers like us, and now there's this mutated land!"

Brother Xiaotian is very optimistic. He laughed heartily when he mentioned this, "Who would have thought? This land grows whatever you plant, grows fast, and grows to be huge. A single pumpkin can weigh hundreds of pounds, and we can't even finish eating them all."

He said, "In the past, everyone had to go out and make a living; if they didn't go to the city, they wouldn't be able to find food. Now it's the other way around; if they don't come back and stay here, they'll really starve to death."

There was a sense of relief in his words.

Because he was among the first group of people to move from the city back to the countryside with his children and elderly relatives.

Huo Ling deduced from his words that this person was indeed extraordinary, possessing a strong ability to anticipate crises; no wonder he was able to become the village chief.

It's fortunate that he wasn't a bad person and had no ill intentions, otherwise he would have been a dangerous individual.

The villagers trusted him very much.

Brother Xiaotian pointed to the roadside and told them to park, "Just here. There are many small roads inside, so it won't be easy for you to turn around. Let's get out of the car and walk a few steps."

They arranged the best small building for the five of them.

"We weren't spared from the last major earthquake either. Some old houses collapsed, and some uninhabitable ones were demolished. The rest are all in good condition, and the superhumans have reinforced them. They're very sturdy, so you can live here without worry."

"We eat communal meals now. Just walk straight down this road and you'll reach the public canteen. The five of you can eat right away. I've already told the others what to do. I have something to do right now, so please make yourselves at home. You can rest if you want, or go out for a walk if you wish."

Brother Xiaotian said the village is very safe, and the villagers are not afraid of strangers entering the village, because anyone who is allowed in is absolutely safe.

Huo Ling expressed his gratitude to him.

Brother Xiaotian said, "We should be thanking you. You even came to help us escort the supplies. If you hadn't been sent to help, we don't know if these supplies would have been able to reach the E City Survivor Base safely."

He told me not to thank him, to just relax, eat and drink well.

After saying that, he answered a phone call and left.

Lorna kept praising, "Oh my, this guy is such a genuine person."

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe agreed.

Lin Shuangshuang looked around and only felt relieved after confirming that everything was alright.

She doesn't believe what others say.

She only believes what she sees.

Huo Ling also used his mental abilities to scan the area and found no problems. "Let's go in first."

The temperature is minus fifty or sixty degrees Celsius.

The world outside the little castle was unfamiliar, like living on a different planet.

Everywhere was a vast expanse of white.

The eaves were covered with icicles.

Rona opened the door and entered the house. It was clean and warm inside. "Oh, look, the heating is on. No wonder it's so warm."

Gao Lei and Wu Zhe went over to take a look, and it was true. "Is this the treatment for VIPs?" "So nice?"

Huo Ling has broken through to the sixth level, and his mental strength is now very strong. As soon as he entered, he knew how many rooms there were in this small building and what the layout was like. "I will stay in the small single room on the top floor. You can choose the other rooms yourselves."

He prefers places with good views and quiet environments.

The teammates all know.

"Okay, no problem!"

"receive."

"clear!"

Huo Ling looked at Lin Shuangshuang, who looked back at him and immediately said, "I'll sleep with you."

Huo Ling did not refuse.

Luo Na, sitting next to him, was so engrossed in the conversation that she couldn't help but smile. She turned to look at Gao Lei, her eyes filled with the joy of "Ahhh, he didn't refuse! They'll be sleeping in the same room tonight!" She was thoroughly enjoying the conversation.

Gao Lei gave her a thumbs up, "You're the first person to kowtow to someone right under their nose."

Lorna chuckled and said, "You flatter me, you flatter me." She was implying that it was just so-so.

Wu Zhe couldn't understand what kind of riddle they were playing now. "What's wrong with you two now?"

Lorna patted his head affectionately, "It's better for a little kid not to know."

Wu Zhe bristled, "What the hell?! Who's this kid? Are you bullying me?!"

He said he's eighteen years old this year!

Gao Lei chuckled and teased, "You're only eighteen, what's the rush to act like an adult?"
