With Captain Zhu's arrival, the bus area became even more lively.

The Bai family had a good impression of Captain Zhu. Except for Leng Yebai, who was cooking, they all came down to exchange a few pleasantries.

"Captain Zhu truly lives up to his title as captain, even at the base!" Grandpa Wang patted Captain Zhu on the shoulder, looking at him with great approval.

This young man is quite good; he went to great lengths to ensure the evacuation of the people of S City.

Captain Zhu smiled gently, "Even as a captain, I don't have superpowers as strong as you, old man!"

Grandpa Wang's garbage truck is a legend!

Grandpa Wang picked his nose and didn't argue.

He also seemed to think he was very capable!

“I went to a nearby grain depot a few days ago, not at the base. I just found out you were here. I hope you won’t mind if I let you stay here and I haven’t taken good care of you.”

Captain Zhu looked apologetic.

The strength of the Bai family and Grandpa Wang was evident to all when they were at the wind power plant.

It's really unfair that such powerful superhumans have to live in a car in a corner.

"It's okay, we're doing fine here!"

Grandpa Wang waved his hand dismissively.

Where you stay doesn't matter, what matters is that you park next to the bus.

They can shamelessly freeload off meals!

In order to enjoy free meals without worry, Grandpa Wang also reinforces the bus every day when he upgrades the garbage truck.

So that I can eat a few more bowls of rice with a clear conscience.

"I can arrange for everyone to stay in the villa area, so please don't stay here."

Captain Zhu glanced around; the environment was not good.

"No need, we're perfectly fine here," Bai Anhai said gently.

You shouldn't owe people favors for no reason.

In the end times, favors are hard to repay.

“Then I won’t move either,” Grandpa Wang said decisively.

The senior citizen group can't be separated!

Captain Zhu wanted to say something more, but seeing how determined they were, he had no choice but to give up.

Since they're already at the base, we can try to persuade them more later.

"Captain, Captain Zhou needs to speak with you!"

A man wearing a black windbreaker ran over and spoke quietly to Captain Zhu.

"Sorry, I have to go now. I'll chat with you all another day." Captain Zhu smiled politely at everyone.

"good!"

Bai Anhai nodded gently and watched Captain Zhu walk away.

After Captain Zhu left, Bai Xizhu and the others boarded the bus again, leaving the elderly group outside to play cards.

"Xiao Fan, be careful if Captain Zhu talks to you in the future."

Bai Anhai sat on the sofa, absorbing the crystal core while instructing Bai Yifan.

"Why? I think he's a pretty good person!" Bai Yifan said, slightly puzzled.

“Dad is right!” Bai Xizhu said.

In the end times, the thing to be most wary of is the human heart.

Captain Zhu's purpose in coming to him was to get everyone to join his team.

The base has ten captains, and superhumans can freely join teams. The power struggle among the captains depends on whose team members are the strongest.

Mr. Bai is a lawyer, and he is very good at reading people. He can often tell a person's character at a glance.

"Even if Captain Zhu's goal is to get us to join his team, it doesn't mean he has ulterior motives, does it?" Bai Yifan still didn't understand.

“Last time we stopped to exterminate the mutated rats, only Grandpa Wang stopped to help,” Bai Anhai said quietly. “We can’t say he was heartless, but we should have been more careful.”

It's not that Captain Zhu is a bad person for not stopping the car, it's just that he can't let his family take risks.

Even if there's only a 1% chance that Captain Zhu is a bad guy, it's best to keep your distance.

"Okay! Then why did you only mention me by name?" Bai Yifan scratched his head.

"Because you're the cutest (silly) one." Bai Anhai said calmly.

Bai Yifan: ...

He always felt that his father's words were implied.

"Then why don't you suspect Grandpa Wang?" Bai Yifan pointed to Grandpa Wang outside the window.

Grandpa Wang, his face covered in white paper strips, was scratching his head as he looked at the cards in his hand.

Where he couldn't see, the mutated ivy and mutated pothos were swapping playing cards under the table.

"The last card, a three, I won!" Bai Zhengxuan calmly shrugged.

"I lost on purpose, so you could win a round!"

Grandpa Wang put down the cards he hadn't played and silently picked up a white strip of paper and smeared it on his face.

Bai Yifan: ...

Okay, he knows why!

In the apocalypse, there are two types of people who can survive.

There is a type of person who is good at scheming.

There is a type of person who is simply highly skilled and daring.

For example, Grandpa Wang may be simple-minded, but he's an expert garbage truck driver.

the next day.

Bai Zhengxuan took three lunchboxes filled with cooked pork and scallion dumplings and went to find Grandpa Wang.

The three-person elderly group squeezed into the driver's seat of the garbage truck, and Grandpa Wang stepped on the gas pedal to the floor, rushing out of the safe base to "find supplies".

Captain Zhu's arrival made the Bai family feel a sense of crisis.

Having powerful superpowers doesn't guarantee survival in the apocalypse; you also need sufficient survival skills.

After having breakfast, the Bai family walked together toward the base's mission hall.

The so-called mission hall is just a relatively large room.

Four large screens continuously scrolled through the tasks, with each screen representing a different level.

The first level consists of tasks that ordinary people can complete, and the activity area is basically in or near the base.

The last three are missions involving teaming up to hunt zombies or collecting supplies.
