After the plane came to a stop, the voice announcement sounded again: "In one minute, those who have not successfully formed a team will be randomly assigned teammates. Everyone will disembark in five minutes. The plane has arrived in Country M. The current outdoor temperature is 12 degrees Celsius and it is drizzling. Please prepare your rain gear and take the shuttle bus to the exit."

Knowing they couldn't leave for the time being, everyone in the cabin turned on their wristbands to pass the time.

"There's still a signal." Zhou Cheng muttered to himself, opened the team interface, saw two red dots, clicked on them and saw: "Two people want to join the team, saying they know someone in our team."

Zhou Cheng showed the interface to everyone, and Jiang Shuyin saw the two names—Qin Shi and Rui Chi.

"We met when we were doing a mission in Hangzhou."

"Oh~" Zhou Cheng drawled out, pulling the two in, bringing the team to its maximum capacity.

As the one-minute countdown ended, lone wolves or small teams without a group were forced to make up five people each. Shuttle buses were already parked around the plane, the cabin door opened, and cold air from outside rushed in.

The mission participants didn't bring umbrellas, which are difficult to store after use. Jiang Shuyin, wearing a hoodie, climbed into the nearest shuttle bus, while Zhou Cheng and his teammates stood, giving their seats to the two ladies.

"I messaged the other two teammates to meet at the baggage carousel."

After getting off the bus, I looked into the distance and saw that the hall was crowded with people, all of whom were mission personnel wearing windbreakers and carrying weapons, who had come from different countries.

Not every country has a humanitarian spirit. What can this mission achieve?

The mission information within the bracelet has been released, and the mystery has been solved—investigate the cause of the anomaly in the sea, and bring back key items or report key information.

The ensuing international convention stipulates that no one may initiate attacks against humans.

If a person's death is caused by legitimate self-defense, as long as it is proven that the person acted in self-defense, no responsibility will be pursued, and the party that initiated the attack and the country behind it will be severely punished.

Xie Yin and the others went to retrieve their luggage, while the rest of the team waited for the other two members to come. The entire hall was noisy, with dozens of languages ​​mixed together.

Jiang Shuyin took out translation gum from her spatial storage, chewed it a few times, and instantly understood what the blond, blue-eyed man beside her was saying.

But they can't speak, they can only understand.

Zhou Cheng looked around: "Why hasn't anyone arrived yet?"

I sent another message.

"With Xie Yin? Well, just wait and see."

Qin Shi and Ruichi hadn't changed much. After Jiang Shuyin greeted them, there was no polite conversation. Instead, Zhou Cheng took the opportunity of getting to know his teammates to talk to them quite a bit.

Qin Shi's superpower is quite unique; he can copy other people's superpowers and techniques, store them, and then use them.

Not only Zhou Cheng, but everyone's eyes widened: "This is too bizarre. So you don't have any attack skills yourself, and you rely on copying?"

Qin Shi: "You could say that."

Jiang Shuyin immediately thought of a very popular novel where the protagonist also had the ability to copy, able to copy everything, an existence that defied the heavens. If this world were a book, would she be in close contact with the male lead right now?

Thinking about it this way, it still feels a bit unreal.

The world is changing too fast.

After introducing Qin Shi, Ruichi's dual superpowers of water and wood are relatively less special.

Ruichi: "The reason I can follow Brother Qin is because his superpowers are very practical."

The water features are for drinking and bathing, the wood features are for growing vegetables and bearing fruit, and oh yeah, I can cook too!

Cui Xinyue suddenly nudged her, and gave a meaningful smile.

Jiang Shuyin realized what was happening: "..."

Country M did not provide them with accommodation. When they arrived near the mission location by car, the houses there were empty. Except for large items such as beds and tables and chairs, everything else had been taken away, making it a perfect place for the mission participants to stay.

They arrived late, and the relatively safe areas had already been occupied, leaving only a few dilapidated and cramped houses. Zhou Cheng decided to leave two people to hold the houses while the others went to explore other areas.

Further in, the vehicles slowed down significantly due to the strong air resistance caused by the high air pressure over the sea. There were no pedestrians on the road.

Qin Shi stared into the distance: "We can't go any further."

The group stopped at a large villa, and as soon as the car door was opened, it was blown open by a strong gust of wind.

Xie Yin frowned and grabbed her hand.

The lock on the villa's main gate was melted by the metal-based supernatural power. After circling around inside to make sure no one was there, Jiang Shuyin, Cui Xinyue, Xie Yin, Qin Shi, and Rui Chi stayed there while Zhou Cheng led his brothers to pick up the people who had previously occupied the territory.

Ruichi went straight to the kitchen: "Everyone must be hungry. I'll cook. In this kind of weather, we should have some warm soup and barbecue."

His words made everyone's mouths water.

Fortunately, the kitchen utensils were very complete, and all showed signs of use.

When Zhou Cheng and the others returned, they smelled a rich aroma as soon as they entered the room. They closed their eyes, took a deep breath, and sighed.

Cui Xinyue explained to him with a smile, "Ruichi has accelerated the growth of many mushrooms, and the mushroom soup in the pot will be ready soon."

Her response was the sound of everyone swallowing hard.

The mushroom soup wasn't filling, but Ruichi was reliable; he found the villa's warehouse, where half a bag of flour remained.

"There are no steamers here, only ovens, so let's use bread as our staple food."

Everyone agreed wholeheartedly.

Zhou Cheng grinned from ear to ear: "I've struck gold! Luckily I reacted quickly and pulled you guys in during the final countdown, hehe."

The first bowl served was naturally for Qin Shi. He gently tapped the rim of the bowl with his well-defined fingers, tilted his head back slightly, his Adam's apple bobbed, and the hot soup warmed his stomach.

Jiang Shuyin: The soup is mostly water, Xie Yin should like it.

She did this simply to repay Xie Yin for his care; she had no other intention.

Ruichi took out three bowls and let them divide the rest. She sent one bowl to Xie Yin, who smelled it as if he didn't know what hot meant.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Jiang Shuyin pulled him aside and whispered, "Sip it slowly, it's hot on your tongue."

Xie Yin lowered his eyes and gazed at her for a moment, then, mimicking her gesture, sipped his mouth slightly.

Jiang Shuyin smiled.
