Amidst the laughter and chatter, everyone felt a sense of accomplishment, realizing they had something to do.

Before, it felt like I was just living each day to do something.

Things seem different now; it's not just about living for the sake of living anymore.

There seems to be something else, something more meaningful.

This prevented them from living aimlessly and lifelessly in this cruel apocalypse.

"Xiaoxiao, how did you come up with this?" Tian Tian leaned on the back of the chair and asked in a low voice.

Li Xiao looked at her and smiled gently.

"I just feel that when someone has extraordinary abilities, doesn't it have a different meaning?" he said, looking calmly and firmly into Tian Tian's big, watery eyes.

Tian Tian was taken aback. She had never thought of it that way before, nor had she considered it in this direction.

Yes, why do some people have superpowers? Why are there abilities that only a small number of people possess?

The scene fell silent for a moment; everyone had heard it.

They hadn't thought about that question either; they were only happy and excited when they gained superpowers.

Everyone, except Li Xiao, was deep in thought.

What gives them different abilities? Is it better for survival?

Or should we choose the best and discard the worst?

Does this mean that only those with superpowers will survive in the end?

The atmosphere froze, and silence fell.

"Xiaoxiao, do you think that in the future, only those with superpowers will survive?" Tian Tian asked sadly.

Li Xiao didn't know what the future held, and no one could be sure.

Li Xiao shook her head. "I don't know either. Who knows?"

This is only the beginning of the apocalypse; who dares to say what it will be like in the future?

"Why think so much? We'll find out eventually. Just focus on doing our best now." Shao Jie said nonchalantly. Isn't it tiring to think so much?

Meng Yang suddenly laughed, "Yeah, why think so far ahead? Just live each day to the fullest. It's not easy for anyone."

Cheng Shaolin nodded in agreement, "Sigh, who's having an easy time these days? Just do your own thing, and if you have any extra ability, lend a hand."

Li Xiao agreed with this.

It's always good to lend a hand within one's own capabilities.

She can't possibly help others when she can't even take care of herself.

"That's right. Take care of yourself first, and if you have extra energy, help others if you can," Yu Yanbin said loudly, sitting up straight.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then they all nodded.

It seems like just now, everyone made a common decision and shared a common goal.

They didn't say what it was, but each of them had a preliminary plan in their hearts.

That's enough. As long as we're united, there won't be any other problems.

"Xiaoxiao, you said it, you'd take care of all our meals, right?" Shao Jie said with a grin.

Everyone else looked at Li Xiao with hopeful eyes.

Looking at the group of people sitting around her, all of them staring at her with bright eyes, like big kittens waiting to be fed, Li Xiao burst out laughing.

"I said, as long as everyone has this team in their hearts, I will take on the responsibility, there will be no problem at all."

Looking at the girl with her chin tilted back, looking so proud, Cheng Shaolin couldn't resist the urge to touch her head again.

Everyone else laughed when they saw Li Xiao.

In the apocalypse, isn't it all about survival? Who wouldn't want food, especially hot meals every day? What more could one ask for?

"Okay, then I'll be counting on Xiaoxiao." Meng Yang laughed heartily from the side.

"I'm counting on Xiaoxiao to be able to eat and drink her fill. Where can you find something so wonderful?" Even the beautiful Qiu said.

"Yes, yes, we're all counting on Xiaoxiao."

Li Xiao patted his chest and assured him, "No problem."

Hahaha

...

Everyone burst into laughter.

Everyone has a different understanding of their future life. With goals and security, what is there to be unhappy about?

"Alright, starting tomorrow, everyone needs to put in their best effort, kill as many zombies as possible, and collect as many crystals as possible. Keep your spirits up, there's nothing we can't do. Let's do our best!" As the team leader, it was Yu Yanbin's duty to rally and encourage everyone.

"Tomorrow, Uncle Meng and Feng Yu will see if they can get any information from those mutated plants. Shao Jie will remain the vanguard, responsible for gathering intelligence. You're fast, but you still need to be careful."

He then turned to Li Xiao and said, "Xiao Xiao, Tian Tian, ​​and Yong Nian, you guys will handle logistics and collect supplies from the back. Shao Lin and I will be in the middle on either side to provide support. Xiao Peng, you'll be at the very back and keep an eye on the team's movements."

"Tomorrow, we'll go into the county town to take a look. It's a new place, completely different from what we've encountered before. So, we must be careful tomorrow. We don't know what dangers might lurk in the distance, so everyone needs to be extremely vigilant, understand?"

"Understood," everyone said in unison.

"Alright, everyone get some rest today. Those on night watch, get ready for your watch. The rest of you, go to sleep."

The conversation ended, and those who were supposed to go to sleep went to sleep.

Tian Tian was the first to keep watch, followed by Qiu Fengyu, and finally Li Xiao.

I don't know if it's because there are so many plants here, but the temperature is lower than in other places.

I slept quite comfortably at night.

This is very comfortable for someone who has been tired all day.

After a while, his breathing gradually calmed down, and snoring began.

Tian Tian sat in the chair, paying attention to the commotion outside.

There's a wall around it, but we still have to be careful. Who knows what strange things might happen here?

The night passed peacefully, and nothing happened.

"Is it more comfortable to sleep here than anywhere else? What do you guys think?" Shao Jie stretched.

"Yes, I think so too, the temperature is a bit lower than outside."

Xiao Peng got up a little earlier and was cooking porridge.

"It should be a little lower, wouldn't that be better?" Yu Yanbin looked at the county town across the street and stretched his body.

Everyone felt the difference between this place and the outside world, and had different expectations for the new environment.

After breakfast, everyone packed their belongings and prepared to leave.

Close the gate properly; there's nothing inside, so there's nothing to worry about.

As agreed yesterday, everyone stood in their respective positions and walked towards the county town at the bottom of the slope.

I also cleared away the roadside plants, since I'll be going in there every day from now on, and this will make things easier.

Yu Yanbin walked at the front, leading the way.

He wielded a golden throwing knife, over a foot long, spinning rapidly in front of him. In no time, it severed all the vines and branches blocking his path.

Meng Yang and Qiu Fengyu, who were following behind him, used their special abilities to roll up the broken branches and vines and piled them up together.

Cheng Shaolin threw in a few fireballs, and they caught fire instantly.

Tian Tian followed behind him, just in case the fire got too big.

Everyone is doing their own thing, and the division of labor is very clear.
