Two days ago, Ping Ge was very polite to Ji Chaoxi and the others, but Ji Chaoxi had a bad feeling.

She noticed that people's eyes were always on her, but when she looked over, the gaze would disappear.

Finally, on the third day, this premonition was confirmed.

"Mr. Pei, Ms. Ji, would you like to try joining our team?" Ping Ge said with a smile.

"We have almost all types of natural ability users, and we also have a lot of resources. We may not have everything you two want, but we have most of it."

Upon hearing this, almost all the natural-type ability users raised their heads.

Ping Ge looked somewhat surprised: "It seems Miss Ji is interested?"

After observing for the past few days, Ping Ge knew that Ji Chaoxi was very cautious and she hardly ever said a word.

Ji Chaoxi nodded and looked at Pei Yufeng beside her. Pei Yufeng noticed her gaze, and their eyes met briefly before quickly looking away.

Ping led Ji Chaoxi and the others downstairs.

"We've already witnessed Mr. Pei's abilities, but we might need to see what Ms. Ji's abilities are like."

The smell of blood grew stronger the further down the stairs you went.

"Am I treating people with superpowers?" Ji Chaoxi asked curiously.

Ping Ge's answer was ambiguous: "Either is fine."

They finally arrived at the logistics room, where more than a dozen seriously injured people lay. There was only one superhuman, and the rest were ordinary people, their bodies covered in festering wounds.

Ping sighed: "Miss Ji, we actually had a healing-type ability user before, but he left us due to an accident."

"Ms. Ji, is this level of difficulty difficult for you?"

Ji Chaoxi walked to the person with superpowers, and Pei Yufeng followed silently behind her.

Under the gaze of others, Ji Chaoxi's hands emitted a soft, pale green glow as healing powers surged into the ability user's body, instantly easing his expression.

At the same time, the superpowered tentacles pierced directly into the superhuman's crystal core. Because it was so direct, the superhuman couldn't help but groan.

Looking at the gradually healing wounds on the superhuman's body, Ping Ge's eyes lit up: "Miss Ji's healing ability is very advanced."

Ji Chaoxi lowered her hand, and the person in the corner quickly spoke up: "Then Miss Ji, please heal the others quickly."

Ji Chaoxi looked at them and honestly said, "I can't heal that many. Healing supernatural abilities consumes a lot of energy."

A man with a pointed chin and monkey-like face quickly brought over a vial of reagent, his eyes red and his hands trembling uncontrollably: "We know, Miss Ji, this is a specially made reagent from our base. Drinking it will give you energy, Miss Ji..."

Ji Chaoxi frowned and took a step back. Pei Yufeng stood behind her, quietly watching the man holding the reagent.

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Ping chuckled dryly, trying to smooth things over: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just wanted to test Miss Ji's special abilities today."

He tentatively asked, "Shall we... leave now?"

As he left, Ping glared at the man secretly. Why was he in such a hurry? He was sure to arouse their suspicion again.

The man hesitated, his hand holding the reagent twitching slightly.

As night fell, the moon hung alone in the sky, and the narrow room was filled with the smell of rust, with faint breathing sounds coming from time to time.

"Want to leave?"

"I'm a bit short on crystal cores..."

"Um."

The basement was filled with an unknown liquid, the dim oil lamp flickered violently, and the shadows on the wall were stretched into monster-like shapes.

The cramped room was filled with people. A rat, holding a reagent, with one eye covered by a cloth, looked at the group of numb flesh shields and spoke in a high-pitched voice.

"You're a bunch of useless trash. If it weren't for the protection of superhumans, you would have been torn to shreds by zombies in no time."

"Do your job well, always be prepared to sacrifice for the team. Only when you sacrifice will your value be realized, and everyone will be grateful to you."

"The team will make sure your families are taken care of. Not evolving into superhumans is already a sin you've committed; you should atone for it in the rest of your lives!"

Under the barrage of words, the ordinary people in the room began to weep bitterly, repeatedly swearing to the rats that they would do their utmost to contribute to the team.

A few days later, Ping invited Pei Yufeng to go with them to find supplies.

Seeing that Ji Chaoxi was about to follow, he smiled and said, "When we're looking for supplies, healing-type ability users don't need to go; they can stay at the base."

"It's okay, let's go together," Ji Chaoxi said.

Ping didn't say anything more, just smiled and nodded.

The rats drove to a medical building and headed down to the bottom floor of the cold storage. Pei Yufeng held Ji Chaoxi's hand and frowned deeply.

Upon entering the lower level, the sound of fingernails scratching metal could be heard, and countless pairs of red eyes lit up in the darkness.

Pei Yufeng glanced at the others; their expressions were too calm, as if they already knew what was going to happen.

Immediately afterwards, countless zombies crawled out of the ventilation ducts, with human shields in front of them, while other superhumans attacked them from behind obstacles.

Ping's face had been calm until he saw the zombies on the walls and ceiling, at which point his expression changed: "Why are there so many rats?"

The fire-type ability user in front roared incessantly, the flames roaring violently in the basement. The mutated zombies felt no pain at all, biting his shoulder tightly despite the flames. The ability user frantically thrashed the monsters on his body, but the next second, he quickly disappeared into the sea of ​​fire.

Ping panicked. He desperately pushed aside the people next to him and broke their ribs. The person he stepped on had a contorted face and screamed in agony.

The rat, hiding in the shadows, observed this scene with malice in his eyes. He not only wanted to kill Pei Yufeng, but he also wanted to kill Brother Ping right here.

He suddenly kicked over the supporting structure next to him, and his spatial ability instantly tore a crack in the air.

"Ji Chaoxi!"

Spatial abilities and mental abilities collided violently, creating a powerful repulsive field in the air.

Ji Chaoxi and a man fell into the space together.

She vaguely observed her surroundings; everything was silvery-gray, the air was thick with a metallic smell, and the temperature was ridiculously low.

Another man crashed to the ground. He wasn't a superhuman; the spatial ability had torn his shoulder apart. He was covered in blood, and his face gradually turned ashen due to the cold and lack of oxygen.

Ji Chaoxi's face also began to turn pale. She was so cold that her whole body was trembling, and the gas in the air kept corroding their bodies.

Ji Chaoxi looked at the red emergency kit hanging on the wall. She smashed open the outer glass cover and took out the small oxygen cylinder inside.

"Heh...heh..."

The man beside her was breathing heavily, his gaze fixed on Ji Chaoxi, who was putting on an oxygen mask.

"Give it to me! Give it to me!" The man's eyes were filled with madness. He staggered towards Ji Chaoxi and roughly ripped off the oxygen mask from her face.

His hand was tightly wrapped around Ji Chaoxi's neck, and the feeling of suffocation kept coming. Ji Chaoxi's vision gradually blurred. She gritted her teeth, suddenly pulled out her military knife, and stabbed it hard into the man's neck.

"Pfft—"

Hot blood splattered on Ji Chaoxi's face. The man stared at her with wide eyes, unable to believe his eyes. The hand that had been holding Ji Chaoxi slipped down limply.

Ji Chaoxi sat on the ground, panting heavily. After she regained her senses, she stabbed him a few more times.

Inside the space, Ji Chaoxi could hear the sounds of heavy objects crashing and the screams of superhumans outside.

She didn't dare go out. She dragged the man to her side, smeared some more blood on her face, and then closed her eyes and obediently lay in the corner pretending to be dead.

"boom--"

The reinforced metal door was suddenly shattered, and amidst the billowing smoke, Pei Yufeng stumbled in, his mental energy completely out of control, distorting the surrounding air with heat.

Pei Yufeng's eyes were bloodshot. When he saw Ji Chaoxi lying motionless on the ground, covered in blood, he snapped.

The red color magnified in his eyes, and Pei Yufeng's facial muscles twitched slightly, his face showing an almost deathly ashen look.
