Considering that there was no particularly strong damage dealer in the group, Uncle Lin, Xu Youjia, and Yang Qiwen took on a relatively low-level task: to collect thirty low-level zombies.

Just as they picked up their car and were about to leave, Jiang Chuan and his two companions were stopped by the security guard at the gate.

Jiang Chuan didn't understand, "What's wrong?"

Chen Jin handed over the mission card, "Big sister, we're going out to do a mission!"

The security guard took his card, looked at it, and then tore it up.

"What are you doing!" Chen Jin hurriedly tried to grab it.

The safety officer looked up at him. "You three are from the elite team, right? Your instructors gave us advance notice and told you not to take on private jobs."

Lin Xi: ?

"What do you mean by taking on side jobs? Isn't that your Wind Eagle Squad's legitimate mission?"

The safety officer frowned. "What's the point of telling me? I'm just relaying Yun's message to you."

"What's he up to?" Jiang Chuan asked, somewhat disgruntled. "Wasn't this week specifically for the team members to complete tasks? Why is he stopping us?"

"I don't know about that. You can go back and ask him." The safety officer said expressionlessly. "The three of you may leave now."

The car carrying Yang Qiwen and her two companions had long since disappeared from sight. Jiang Chuan looked away, and the three of them exchanged glances before deciding to head back.

"Go to the sixth floor."

Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Chen Jin naturally knew that he wanted to find Yun to ask for clarification. "Isn't the entire Wind Eagle Regiment resting this week? Can he be there?"

"Why don't we go and see for ourselves?" Lin Xi also wanted to ask. She couldn't leave the house without accepting the mission, and the system was gathering dust.

【fine.】

—I was just thinking, and you were eavesdropping.

I haven't accumulated enough points, and it's not me who's in a rush.

Lin Xi: ...

Why does it seem to be getting more and more sarcastic?

Is it just my imagination?

However, it's quite nice; it automatically enters a silent period when it detects that there are no tasks to complete nearby.

To quote the system in its own words.

I'm a survival system, not a suicide system.

Suddenly, a memory flashed through Lin Xi's mind: when she was still a weakling, the system had tasked her with acquiring mid-level crystal cores...

The sixth floor.

Yun was in the office, his hands behind his back, looking out the window.

Apart from a main road that leads directly here, the rest of the area is overgrown with weeds, and no one bothers to clear them.

The overwhelming sense of desolation made Yun frown involuntarily.

beep beep—

He turned around at the sound of his fingerprint unlocking. Three people at the door were glaring at him angrily, while Yun smiled indifferently.

"Wait a minute."

"What are you waiting for?" Jiang Chuan walked in and stopped in front of him. "Shouldn't you give us an explanation first?"

He repeated his previous statement, "Wait a minute."

Chen Jin was afraid that he would start a fight, mainly because they wouldn't be able to beat him if they did, so he quickly stepped forward and stood slightly between the two of them.

After a standoff of nearly ten minutes, the door opened again.

Seeing so many people inside, Cheng Sheng hesitated for a moment, "Is everyone here?"

"Alright, everyone's here." Yun looked at Cheng Sheng before speaking to Jiang Chuan.

"An explanation?"

"You have other tasks, which can be considered as a test of your training results in the first week."

Cheng Sheng was speechless. "Huh? Yun-ge, why didn't you just tell us directly before? Why go through all this trouble?"

"When my friends and I got to the door, everyone else had already gone through, but I was stopped. They thought I had done something wrong."

Yun explained, "It's a temporary mission. I only learned about it recently, so I could only quickly notify the security personnel to intercept you."

Jiang Chuan reluctantly accepted this explanation. "What mission?"

“Our base has been under construction for a relatively short time, and the crops have only been planted for a short time. However, it will take a long time for them to mature, so we cannot be self-sufficient for the time being.”

"The grain we transferred earlier is almost gone. This time, our goal is to go to the grain depot in H city."

After Yun finished speaking, Lin Xi glanced at the people present and asked, "Just us?"

Yun shook his head and corrected, "It's not 'we,' it's 'you.'"

Cheng Sheng frowned. "The four of us? But we don't know any of us well. How can we cooperate to complete the mission?"

"If you're not familiar with each other, you need to work together to complete the task and work together to get to know each other better."

Cheng Sheng continued, "What about Lu Nan? Isn't he going?"

"Yes, we'll have to go. You need to find Lu Nan first."

Chen Jin couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Lu Nan. That guy looked like a complete slacker, and bringing him along would probably only slow down their mission. It would be better for the four of them to go alone.

To everyone's surprise, Cheng Sheng became even more anxious, "Why should we go find him? You all know how difficult Lu Nan is!"

Yun said seriously, "Cheng Sheng, don't forget, you are a team, you need to be tolerant and trusting of each other."

"Why isn't it him who shows understanding and trust towards us?"

Yun looked at Cheng Sheng and said, "His situation is a bit special. Cheng Sheng, you arrived earlier than them, so you should know something about those things, right?"

Lin Xi couldn't help but ask curiously, "What?"

“Lu Nan wasn’t like this before. When he first came to S City, he brought his sister with him.”

Chen Jin was also somewhat surprised, "Lu Nan has a younger sister?"

"Dead."

After those two words were spoken, the air fell silent once more.

Yun continued, "His sister is fifteen years old this year. Her special ability is a healing type, and it is one of the top healing abilities. She can reverse life with just a level two ability."

Jiang Chuan clenched those four words, "What does 'reverse life' mean?"

"Literally, it means that it can bring people back to life if they have been dead for no more than 24 hours."

Everyone was startled again.

Is it really possible for someone to awaken this kind of superpower?

Lin Xi thought about her own situation and realized that perhaps this person could also help her solve her problem.

However, Yun said she was already dead.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help but feel regret, "How did she die?"

"When Lu Nan did his first mission, he accidentally ran into a fight between several mid-level zombies and was seriously injured in the battle."

Lin Xi carefully considered her words before speaking, "Her healing abilities require sacrificing her own health, right?"

Yun nodded. "Yes, so she chose to exchange her life for another. Lu Nan woke up, but she died."

Yun said this with a regretful expression, "Top-tier healing ability. If her ability had been one level higher at the time, she wouldn't have had to risk her life for someone else. In the end, it was just bad luck."

Chen Jin asked, "So Lu Nan was affected by this?"

"Yes, after he woke up, he kept blaming the organization and the other bystanders, but everyone knew that he blamed his own arrogance even more."

Yun sighed, "At the time, many people tried to persuade his sister. After all, compared to other things, the rarity of top-level healing abilities is no less than winning the lottery. Although Lu Nan's ability is also very special, it is far less important to the organization than healing abilities. But his sister was very determined."

“Lu Nan has been like this ever since that day.”

After listening, Jiang Chuan crossed his arms and said coldly, "This kind of thing has absolutely nothing to do with us."
