Chapter 230 I am useless?
The next day, Director Wang found Lin Xi.
The two talked in low voices in the study of Lin Xi's house.
"I went to see a big guy yesterday."
Lin Xi nodded, she had already guessed it.
Director Wang's proposal to form a hunting team must have been instructed by the big boss, and those communicators must have been obtained under the big boss's guidance.
So, on the surface, it is the people in the research institute who control the base, but the boss can influence Director Wang's thoughts, which means he indirectly controls the base.
This is what's so scary about the big guys.
Of course, Lin Xi herself also agreed to form a hunting team, and she was planning to mention this matter to Director Wang.
Director Wang continued, "Boss, what you mean is that it's not just us. Some of the superpowered people in the base can also organize themselves and hunt zombies together."
"Our hunting team will use the base as the center and slowly advance to the surrounding areas to rescue the people and eliminate the zombies."
"Our first target is the several shelters in the capital."
Lin Xi continued to nod.
"Also, let's discuss the personnel of the first hunting team."
Director Wang took out the list and the two began to discuss.
When talking about Qi Mo, Director Wang sighed, "I heard about his family's situation. He is actually quite pitiful."
"There's no need for him to join this first batch. Let him recover his mood and keep the two elderly people company."
Lin Xi nodded, "And Xiaoqiu, she absorbed a C-level crystal core and has been upgraded to C-level. She has told me several times that she wants to join the Ability Research Institute. Since the first station is nearby, let her go with us."
"If she isn't allowed to exercise, she'll never grow."
Lin Xi coughed lightly, "Mu Qingzhou is also arranged in this group."
She noticed recently that Mu Qingzhou always seemed to want to talk to Li Xiaoqiu, but Li Xiaoqiu ignored him.
Well, Lin Xi is quite willing to see Mu Qingzhou being humiliated, which adds a little fun to her boring life.
Director Wang raised his eyebrows, realizing something, and smiled, "Really? Then put them in this group."
Lin Xi thought for a moment, "Now there are three S-level people: you, me, and Song Huaijin. One of them must be left at the base. This way, we can deter the other psychics at the base."
Director Wang suddenly laughed, "There are more than three. Zhou Ying has also become S-level. After Shen Changying gave him the crystal core, he improved."
Lin Xi nodded, "That's even better. He likes running outside. Otherwise, for this first batch, you can stay at the base first."
Director Wang nodded and said, "Okay, then you lead the team out."
The two men agreed that the hunting team would set out early the next morning.
While having dinner that day, Lin Fenfang turned on the TV as usual, and a message was playing repeatedly on the TV.
"Xishan Base is about to establish a hunting team to travel around the country to hunt zombies. Those with special abilities are welcome to sign up."
"Those interested in registering, please go to District 10, Room 10009."
"The first group of hunting team members will set off the day after tomorrow morning, so hurry up and sign up."
Lin Yuan ate while watching TV. "Xixi must be joining the hunting team. I also want to sign up for this hunting team."
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Fenfang.
Lin Fenfang's face changed, "You are not allowed to go!"
"Your sister is capable after all. What can you do there? Give someone a bath?"
Lin Yuan's expression turned ugly. "Mom, I have special abilities too. In your mind, my water-based abilities are only good for bathing people?"
"Do I look like a worthless person to you?"
Lin Fenfang said hesitantly, "I, that's not what I meant. You two can't both go, right? One of you should stay home with me."
Lin Xi lowered her eyes and said nothing. This was Lin Yuan's own business and she would not interfere.
Lin Yuan put down his chopsticks and said, "I want to go. I want to go."
"My sister has done her best to give us the most stable life. If it weren't for her strong abilities, we don't know what would become of us now."
"But I can't let my sister carry all the burdens."
"Besides, someone has to kill the zombies. If everyone is like my mother, only knowing how to protect her children and not killing zombies, there will only be more and more zombies outside, and even the Xishan base will fall sooner or later."
Lin Fenfang's face flushed. "I, I'm not as conscious as you sisters. I just want you all to be safe and sound by my side."
"I can't control your sister, but you are not allowed to go!"
Lin Yuan put down his chopsticks and said calmly, "I'm already 22. Whether Mom agrees or not, I'll go find Brother Zhou Ying to sign up tomorrow."
Lin Fenfang was furious, "You——"
"Okay, you all have grown up with wings, I have no ability, and no one listens to me now. You go, just go, and leave me, an old woman, all alone at home."
Lin Xi rubbed her temples. Her mother must have been too idle recently.
She started interfering with her sisters again.
Lin Fenfang has some character flaws, which Lin Xi has clearly seen since she regained her memory.
But there is no way, this is my biological mother, and she has lived like this for more than 40 years. It is impossible for her to change.
Lin Xi cleared her throat and said, "Mom, if you have something to say, just keep talking about it. Don't talk about anything else."
"My sister is an adult and she has her own ideas."
"All we have to do is respect her opinion."
"As for your loneliness, there are so many elderly people in the community. You won't feel lonely if you grow vegetables and talk with them."
Lin Fenfang is a little afraid of Lin Xi.
When people get old, they feel useless and become unconsciously afraid of their children.
Especially since Lin Xi is so capable.
As soon as Lin Xi opened her mouth, she stopped talking, but she was still very unhappy.
Lin Xi softened her voice, "Mom, think about it, this is not a peaceful time."
"The Xishan base is not a paradise. It may be attacked by zombies at any time."
"Look at Zhou Ying, he's the only son in his family. He's always the first to rush forward."
"Now is not the time to enjoy ourselves. We must contribute as much as we can. Everyone must do their best to do what they can. Only in this way can the situation on Blue Planet improve day by day."
"Mom, you are so good at growing vegetables. This also provides us with survival resources."
Lin Fenfang's heart hasn't completely changed, but Lin Xi is now vaguely the head of the family. As a mother, she no longer has much say in the family. What else can she say?
No one listens even if I say it.
She ate a few mouthfuls of food in a depressed mood, put down her chopsticks and went back to her room.
After she left, Lin Yuan looked at her sister gratefully. "I was worried that you would object. I'm really happy that you support me."
Her sister's radiance was so strong that although she envied her, she was not jealous. She also wanted to shine her own light.
