The two nodded almost simultaneously, this time Qin Siye answered first.

"Sister Xin, just go ahead and make the arrangements. We will definitely do our best and won't let you down."

Li Xin'er then continued, "Okay, I've made arrangements for you two. You two can go back to Anshi City, C Province."

Upon hearing the word "go back," Qian Leduo held his breath, staring intently at Li Xin'er as if afraid he had misheard or missed something.

Although Qin Siye had told him privately before that Sister Xin would keep them working and that they could go back, he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

"When you get back, you can look for your families first. At the same time, I need to find out about the situation at the Anshi base."

She does business, but not with just anyone. In the apocalypse, there are all sorts of monsters and demons, and some people are so unlucky that she doesn't even want to mention them, let alone do business with them.

"Sure, I'm good at gathering information."

Qian Leduo patted his chest eagerly, making a solemn promise.

Li Xin'er took out a paper map from her spatial storage and spread it on the coffee table in front of her.

Then, taking a red ballpoint pen, he started making circles and dots on it.

"The shortest route from S City to An City is via this national highway, and you will pass through Guang City and Nan City along the way."

She highlighted the three cities: Anshi, Guangshi, and Nanshi.

"Your mission is not just in Anshi, but in all three places along this route."

The two of them agreed without hesitation once again, "No problem."

Qin Siye extended his well-defined index finger and pointed at Guangshi, saying:

“I’ve done practical training here before, so I’m quite familiar with this place.”

Qian Leduo quickly chimed in, "Nanshi is no problem either. My aunt married someone from here and has been there several times."

Seeing that both of them were very confident, Li Xin'er felt much more at ease.

"Well, you don't need to do too much right now. Just pass by here, go into the base to check things out, and find out who's in charge of the base."

"Next, I will be doing business in various places, and I need to understand the basic situation of these places."

She made her purpose clear, and the two of them naturally understood what they needed to know.

Qin Siye suddenly asked, "We should have no problem investigating the information, but the problem is, how are we supposed to get this information to you?"

As they spoke, they both looked up at Li Xin'er, waiting for an answer.

Since Li Xin'er made such arrangements, she must have a countermeasure in mind.

"You don't need to worry about that, I'll have it ready."

Upon hearing this, Qin Siye trusted Li Xin'er completely and believed in her arrangements. Since the message was easy to transmit, nothing else mattered.

"Then we have no problem."

Li Xin'er added another sentence,

"If you feel you don't have enough manpower, you can recruit people yourself and form a team."

Qian Leduo's eyes lit up, but Qin Siye pondered for a few seconds before shaking his head.

"Not for now. If the two of us operate separately, we can keep a small profile and stay away from the zombie hordes. There shouldn't be any major safety issues. If there are too many people, it will actually make it harder to get in and out of the base."

Qian Leduo had been thinking that if they could recruit more people, at least their safety would be guaranteed.

Hearing Qin Siye's words, she felt they made sense and was instantly convinced, nodding in agreement.

"I think Brother Ye is right. If we keep a low profile and gather information, we won't attract attention."

Li Xin'er didn't care about this, since she only directly managed the two of them anyway.

"You can arrange this matter yourselves. It's not necessary now. This line will be handed over to you in the future, and you will need to recruit people as well. You can start looking for suitable candidates."

From now on, tasks will be directly assigned to you, and I won't care how you complete them. In other words, I only care about the results, understand?

When Li Xin'er spoke seriously, she always exuded a powerful aura that compelled people to submit. The two of them unconsciously lowered their heads even further in respect.

"clear."

Li Xin'er used her red pen to draw another line, from S City through An City, then across several other cities, all the way to the middle of the map, where Kyoto was located. She then marked it.

"You need to have a long-term vision. As long as you do well, everything can be yours."

After a bit of criticism, they offer a sweet treat; the promises they're going to make still need to be made.

Qian Leduo clearly ate the flatbread first. He straightened his back and reiterated his assurance to Li Xin'er, this time in a louder voice.

"Sister Xin, we will try our best!"

It's like shouting slogans at a morning meeting; as long as he's not embarrassed, it's everyone else who's embarrassed.

Qin Siye, standing to the side, felt rather awkward, unsure whether to follow or not.

If he were to follow suit, he wouldn't have the nerve to shout so loudly.

If you don't follow along, or if you speak softly, he feels he's not as loyal as Qian Leduo...

Fortunately, Li Xin'er continued to speak.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

She looked at Qian Leduo and said, "You don't have any special abilities yet. Since you're going out, you'd better awaken them. If you're willing, like Vulture and the others, I'll give you a thousand crystal cores to awaken yours. If you're not willing..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qian Leduo had already stood up abruptly. He nodded eagerly at Li Xin'er like a chick pecking at rice.

"I'm willing! I'm willing! Not just a thousand, but ten thousand!"

The two were surprised the moment they heard that she had awakened her superpowers, and then Qian Leduo couldn't wait to find out more, without the slightest doubt.

They believed in Li Xin'er, believing that since she had said it, she could definitely do it.

So, when Qian Leduo successfully awakened his superpower with Li Xin'er, owing her a thousand crystal cores, and stepped out the door, he suddenly awoke as if from a dream, grabbing Qin Siye in disbelief.

"Brother Ye! Sister Xin really can do it, she really can!"

Qin Siye wasn't in much better shape either. He lit a cigarette to calm himself down.

"This matter must be kept secret."

He dared not imagine how fatal this would be to ordinary people without superpowers if word got out.

Or, if this news falls into the hands of the powerful and wealthy, what kind of predicament will Sister Xin face?

Upon hearing this, Qian Leduo immediately composed himself and became serious.

He awakened a metal-type ability, and now he seems to have become more resolute. Even when he is serious, he looks colder and more stern than before.

"I know, Brother Ye, don't worry. Sister Xin not only saved my life, but she is now my second mother. I will absolutely not reveal a single word about this."

After reaching a consensus, the two left the residential area together to practice their abilities outside and also to find crystal cores as soon as possible.

Li Xin'er, who was inside the building, withdrew her soul power immediately after the two left the residential area.

If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them.

Since she has taken the action, she is capable of bearing the consequences, even in the worst-case scenario.

Thinking this, Li Xin'er looked out the window at Sister Xia, who was playing with two children in the neighboring yard.

It would only make sense if everyone around her had some kind of superpower.
