Shao Qiu was surprised to see Xia Qingqing again and frowned as he asked, "You mean you want to temporarily join our team?"
Xia Qingqing nodded: "Yes, I don't know if Captain Shao agrees."
Shao Qiu looked somewhat troubled. Adding a new member to the team was not a simple matter. Although he was the captain chosen by everyone, the team was not a place where he could have absolute authority.
Shao Qiu looked at Meng Tianyu and the others and asked, "What are your thoughts? Do you agree to Miss Xia joining?"
Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke first.
They knew that Xia Qingqing was a space ability user, and having a space ability user in the team was certainly a good thing.
However, Xia Qingqing's background is still a hidden danger for them. They can see that the things Xia Qingqing fabricated before were false.
Just as the atmosphere became somewhat tense, Xie Yue spoke up. She looked apologetically at everyone and said, "There's something I haven't told you all. Actually, Qingqing's friend is my sister-in-law."
"What? Miss Xia is your sister-in-law's friend?" Meng Tianyu exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone knows who Xie Yue's sister-in-law is, but no one expected that Xia Qingqing's friend would be Gu Yunshu.
"Yes, Qingqing has been living with us during this time," Xie Yue nodded seriously.
Meng Tianyu was the first to express his opinion: "Since Miss Xia is Captain Gu's friend, then I have no objection."
"I have no objection either."
"I don't care."
"Whatever you say, I'll listen to you."
Seeing that his teammates didn't object to Xia Qingqing joining, Shao Qiu smiled and extended a hand to her: "Miss Xia, welcome to our Sunshine Team."
Xia Qingqing quickly grasped the other person's hand: "Thank you, Captain Shao. Please take care of me in the future."
"By the way, now that we're all teammates, please stop calling me Miss Xia. Just call me by my name."
Shao Qiu smiled and nodded: "Qingqing, don't call me Captain Shao. I'm older than you. Just call me Brother Qiu."
Seeing this, the others also gave Xia Qingqing a detailed self-introduction, as a way of welcoming her to the group.
The next day, Xia Qingqing went out to do a mission with the team.
This time was different from the last time. Last time, she used supplies to hire the Sunrise Squad to take her to the Hope Base. Everyone treated her very politely along the way and wouldn't let her go if there was any danger.
Now that Xia Qingqing has officially become a member of the Xiangyang Squad, her teammates are much more enthusiastic about her.
During the break, Qu Qiu leaned close to her brother and whispered, "Brother, don't you think Qingqing looks like it's her first time on a mission?"
"And she doesn't even dare to dig out crystal cores, and she even vomited just now. Has she never done these things before? How strange," Qu Qiu said, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Well, but that's their privacy, don't worry about it, okay?" Qu Xia smiled and patted her sister's head.
Qu Qiu obediently replied, "I know, I was just chatting with you quietly because I had nothing else to do. I won't tell anyone else."
In another corner, Xia Qingqing overheard the brother and sister's conversation.
Apart from Gu Yunshu, no one in this world knew that she had cultivated spiritual power, so Qu Qiu was completely unprepared.
After listening to the brother and sister's words, Xia Qingqing sighed. It was her first time doing a mission and her first time digging for zombie crystal cores.
Although she knew before that the crystal cores were dug out of zombies' brains, they were already cleaned by the time they reached her hands.
On this mission, as a logistics staff member, she was assigned by Shao Qiu to work on mining crystal cores.
As a result, she vomited when she dug out the first one, which startled everyone, who thought she was suddenly feeling unwell.
No one expected that she was vomiting from disgust, after all, in all these years since the apocalypse, almost everyone has gotten used to this kind of life.
Xia Qingqing put on two masks and was fully armed before she could barely finish mining all the crystal cores.
Although she was wearing gloves, she couldn't resist washing her hands several times.
Seeing Xia Qingqing sitting quietly in the corner, Xie Yue came over and asked with concern, "Qingqing, do you still feel nauseous? I didn't see you eat anything."
"I can't eat right now, I'll eat when I'm hungry later," Xia Qingqing said with a wry smile.
Xie Yue didn't try to persuade her anymore, but instead smiled and said, "I remember when I first went out to kill zombies, I reacted just like you. I didn't eat much for several days, but I got used to it later."
Xia Qingqing knew she was trying to comfort her, so she nodded and said, "Yes, I know, I will try my best to adapt quickly."
Xie Yue suggested, "I'll take you to kill zombies this afternoon. You should practice your ice-type abilities more. Only real combat can help you break through quickly."
Upon hearing this, Xia Qingqing looked at Xie Yue with delight: "Thank you, Yueyue."
Xia Qingqing originally thought her ice-type ability was pretty good, but she only realized after she came out that it was still very difficult for her level 2 ability to kill zombies.
In the afternoon, Xie Yue kept her promise and helped Xia Qingqing practice her supernatural abilities.
She possesses psychic abilities and can use them to control the movements of zombies. Xia Qingqing continuously fired ice spikes at the heads of the zombies.
At first, her aim wasn't very good; she might only hit the target once out of three attempts. Gradually, she hit it twice out of three attempts, and later she hit it every time.
Of course, the ice spikes she fired had limited power and couldn't pierce a zombie's head in one shot.
"Sister Qingqing, try condensing your superpower into an ice arrow," Xie Yue reminded her at the right moment.
Xia Qingqing nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll give it a try."
She used her supernatural power, imagining the shape of an ice arrow in her mind. In an instant, a transparent ice arrow shot towards the zombie's thigh. Its penetrating power was indeed much stronger, and it went straight through.
"It really works, thank you so much, Yueyue!" Xia Qingqing excitedly thanked Xie Yue.
Next, she used her abilities to create all sorts of weapons she could think of, such as darts, ice spikes, ice needles, and ice blades, having a great time. The zombie on the other side was tortured half to death by her.
She suddenly felt dizzy, a weak and powerless feeling spread through her body, and her lips turned a little pale.
Seeing this, Xie Yue quickly dealt with the zombie in one move, and then helped her to a clean place to sit down: "Sister Qingqing, this is a symptom of your superpower being exhausted. Quickly take out the crystal core to replenish your energy."
"Mmm," Xia Qingqing said with a pale face, taking out a crystal core from the system warehouse and beginning to absorb the energy in the crystal core.
After Xia Qingqing replenished her superpower, she felt that her superpower seemed to be slightly stronger than before. After experimenting several times, she was sure that this was not her imagination.
