Wang Lan didn't have a good impression of these villagers. Although they weren't exactly bad, given his personality, he didn't really care about their lives.

After all, Wang Lan had been fighting alone all along, even when faced with unimaginable dangers and encountering all sorts of sea monsters on the high seas. In fact, it was always Wang Lan, or Wang Lan and Sun Muchen, who faced the dangers head-on.

But after this chase with the wolf pack, Wang Lan suddenly realized the importance of teamwork.

As the saying goes, a dead tree cannot make a forest.

One person's strength is limited after all. Wang Lan was confident that if these wolves attacked one by one, he could carve out a wolf mountain.

But the wolf pack was truly terrifying, and in terms of both endurance and speed, it far surpassed the wolf packs encountered in the safe zone.

Wang Lan couldn't keep running forever, otherwise he would definitely be caught by the wolf pack.

He couldn't possibly fight the wolf pack alone; that would be tantamount to suicide.

It was thanks to the assistance of Ding Taishun and others, along with the attack of the white-armored soldiers, that they were able to successfully shake off the wolf pack.

While the inherent danger of the area did help deter the wolves, the collective effort of everyone was also an indispensable factor.

This also made Wang Lan realize the importance of a team.

He had cooperated with others before, such as with the hunters in the safe zone. The hunters were much stronger than him, but they were not united. Each of them had their own thoughts and ideas. Although the individual members of such a team were strong, their overall strength was lacking.

But these villagers are different.

Influenced by the Holy City, these people are very united and none of them are weak. They just lack combat experience. If they are trained, they may become a formidable team.

In this apocalyptic world, the more dangers Wang Lan encountered, the more she realized the importance of teamwork.

He needs to have a team of his own.

These villagers were the first group of members he wanted to recruit.

"Keep it up," Wang Lan said with a smile, looking at everyone. "I believe in you all, and I also hope that you can truly grow up and become independent, relying entirely on your own abilities."

Wang Lan understood the principle of giving a slap followed by a treat.

So he said, "Don't mind what I said before. I'm doing this so that you can grow up as quickly as possible. I hope you can control your own destiny instead of relying on outsiders! Of course, I will take care of you, and at least try my best to protect you!"

"We know!"

Ding Taishun's eyes gleamed with determination as he said, "Mr. Wang, we will definitely be fine and will live up to your expectations!"

Wang Lan smiled slightly, everything was understood without words.

"I've heard from Teacher Sun that you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and now that I see it, it's definitely true!"

As Gu Li spoke, the others echoed her sentiments.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, don't forget, we were selected as the best of the best in the village, we can't let Hope Village down!"

"That's right! That's right! Whatever happens next, just give us your orders, and we'll do our best without flinching!"

"Yes! Besides, this is a great opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with a strong person like Mr. Wang and receive his guidance!"

"Let's do it! Then we'll become as powerful as Mr. Wang! This world is vast, there's nowhere we can't go!"

Lu Renjia said, "We can even go hunting! Once we get stronger, we'll travel more, explore more, and then we'll eat something good! We'll treat ourselves to some meat!"

"You only know how to eat!"

Ding Taishun pointed at him and laughed.

The others joined in the laughter.

The laughter reached the ears of the Holy Envoy, who turned his head to look in this direction, paused briefly, and then looked away.

Seeing that the gloom on everyone's faces had vanished, Wang Lan stood up and said finally, "Actually, the most important thing is to overcome the mental hurdle. As long as you strengthen your beliefs, I believe you will definitely transform!"

"must!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Wang Lan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Get some rest. Tonight should be safe, so you can get a good night's sleep. But here's a piece of advice: when you're in the wild, be extra careful. Take turns keeping watch at the end of the night so that if anything happens, you can be alerted immediately and avoid any panic."

"clear!"

Ding Taishun was the first to answer.

Wang Lan left.

Taking advantage of this enthusiasm, Ding Taishun and the others began to discuss a plan to take turns keeping watch at night.

Hope Village.

Unable to refuse Lin Han's hospitality, Sun Muchen finally went to Lin Han's house.

Lin Han prepared a huge feast tonight, bringing out all the supplies sent by the Holy City, including meat, vegetables, and more.

But the meal turned out to be incredibly awkward.

Although Sun Muchen was warm and hospitable, he wasn't a talkative person and barely said a few words during the meal.

Lin Han's uncle, Lin Feng, used to be a chatterbox, but for some reason, after returning from the Holy City, he became taciturn and silent. When he did speak, his voice was particularly stiff, as if he were slowly reading from a script.

Lin Han, on the other hand, kept trying to find topics to talk about, while the other two only gave half-hearted replies.

The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Even after dinner, Lin Feng and Sun Muchen didn't exchange more than ten words.

Lin Han tidied up the leftovers on the table, while Sun Muchen and Lin Feng sat to the side.
