Ye Lei had been driving his Mercedes SUV far from Yunfan Port for quite some time when Ma Jing and Sarah gradually recovered from the near-danger and their emotions slowly calmed down.

"Ye Lei, thank you!"

Ma Jing took a deep breath, finally regaining some composure, and sincerely thanked Ye Lei.

Ye Lei simply replied, "I already said, you don't need to thank me."

He knew very well that he hadn't saved them out of any kindness. In this post-apocalyptic world, everyone could only struggle for their own survival, and he was no exception.

At this moment, Xu Jiao, who was sitting in the back row, sensed that Ye Lei seemed to be in a bad mood, so she took the initiative to break the silence: "Ma Jing, Sarah, hello! My name is Xu Jiao!"

Upon hearing Xu Jiao's self-introduction, Ma Jing and Sarah politely responded, "Hello!"

And so, the three people sitting in the back row officially got to know each other.

"Are you really the ones my father entrusted to come and find us?"

Ma Jing still can't believe it.

"Yes, that's true. Otherwise, how would we have known you were here?"

Xu Jiao nodded and explained.

After all, in this era full of crisis and chaos, everyone is struggling for their own survival. Without a special reason, who would risk going looking for someone else?

However, she couldn't help but ask, "But now it's the apocalypse, and everyone is only concerned with their own survival. Why are you willing to take such a big risk to save people?"

It seems Ma Jing has also realized that things aren't that simple.

"I don't know the specific reason, but as you said, it's the apocalypse, so I think your dad must have promised Brother Lei something!"

Xu Jiao was genuinely unaware of the deal between them.

"Ye Lei, right, Brother Lei? Can you tell me what my dad promised you?"

Ma Jing also changed her tune.

"Ask your dad when you get home!"

Why not tell me now?

It seems that Ma Jing has developed many doubts about this strange rescue.

Do you really want to know?

"Of course!"

"Jiao'er, why don't you tell them about our shelter?"

Ye Lei wanted them to understand his strength first.

"Received, Brother Lei."

"Ma Jing, would you like to know more?"

"Of course, I could tell from the beginning that you weren't ordinary survivors. The sudden appearance of lightning, the giant skeleton, and our ability to escape so quickly—those must all be his doing, right?"

It seems that Ma Jing has always kept it in mind.

"You're right, those were all Brother Lei's doing. Have you ever heard of superpowers?"

"Doesn't it look incredibly powerful, so you don't have to fear zombies?"

This time, Sarah took the initiative to speak.

"You're right. Have you met before?"

Xu Jiao's explanation only deserves a score of 60.

"I haven't seen it myself, but it was reported on the TV news when we left the United States. We all thought it was a hoax, but it turns out it's true!"

Sarah finally believed in the existence of superpowers.

"You mean your country, America, also has people with superpowers?"

Ye Lei was startled by this information.

"Yes, it's incredible that Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, and Wolverine, characters I'd only ever seen in movies, actually exist!"

Ma Jing's statement further confirms that the entire planet Earth has a large number of people with superpowers.

"By the way, the lightning power you just used, the Mjolnir you conjured—wasn't that Thor's Mjolnir? It's exactly the same, maybe even more powerful!"

It seems Sarah is quite the sci-fi fan.

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Ye Lei smiled slightly upon hearing Sarah's praise.

"But do you know what? Brother Lei, there's another very safe shelter!"

Xu Jiao almost forgot the task Ye Lei had given her.

"Oh, really? How safe is it?"

"After the apocalypse, we moved in and have already withstood many survivors and zombie attacks. Even the Skeleton Pirate Legion couldn't do anything to us and was wiped out by Brother Lei!"

Xu Jiao said with smug pride.

"The Skull Pirate Legion? Is that the pirates who wantonly plunder merchant ships on the high seas?"

Ma Jing asked, "It seems that this Skeleton Pirate Legion really has a bad reputation!"

"Probably, there can't be two pirates with the same name, hehe..."

Xu Jiao did not participate in the suppression of the pirates; she was only guessing.

"I was wondering why I didn't run into them on my way back from America. Turns out you wiped them all out!"

Ma Jing admired Ye Lei once again.

"Xu Jiao, tell me quickly, what's so special about your shelter?"

Sara seems more interested in the shelter.

"We have our own generators, clean water, and we can grow fresh vegetables. We are not afraid of the high temperature at all. Most importantly, we have an endless supply of food."

"Really? Even in the apocalypse, there are still places like this? How did you manage to do that?"

Sarah once thought Xu Jiao was telling a story.

"Of course it's true! We have to thank Brother Lei for this. He collected it from many places after the apocalypse broke out!"

"I see, Brother Lei, you're amazing!"
