The stones shone with a faint luster in the sunlight, and the colorful colors looked like a handful of glass candies held in a child's hand. The fine candy residue looked inconspicuous.
Picking up a blue stone, Captain Yang looked at it carefully in the sunlight and said, "It's very light. The density is very low." He could hardly feel the weight in his palm.
"Yes, they are shrinking every day." Xu Xuening nodded seriously.
"What? Shrinking." Captain Yang looked at it in surprise, and looked at the crystal in his hand carefully and cautiously, afraid that if he exerted too much force, it would disappear.
"I don't know what it looks like among zombies, but if it's not eaten, it will automatically sublime in the air." Xu Xuening looked at the small crystal in Captain Yang's hand with the same seriousness.
“It’s shrinking a little bit every day. Maybe it’s returning to nature.”
This is probably the main reason why she never found the crystal in the last apocalypse.
"That ability?" Captain Yang looked at Xu Xuening with some concern. He actually had many questions, but as soon as he heard Xu Xuening say that the crystal would shrink on its own, he began to worry whether the supernatural power would also disappear. If that happened, what would happen to the person who consumed it? After all, this thing was taken from the brain of a zombie. Who knows if the person who ate it would turn into a zombie.
"Don't worry for now. At least the abilities of those who ate the crystals haven't disappeared. With more practice, their abilities will actually improve." "That's good, that's good." Captain Yang nodded immediately after hearing this, feeling half relieved.
"During this time, I will help you find some crystals. If you are sure you want your people to consume them, after all, we can't guarantee what side effects the crystals may have."
Xu Xuening suggested that Captain Yang should consider this matter carefully.
Seeing the other party's serious explanation, Captain Yang calmed down and asked, "Can I meet your companions with special abilities first?"
"Can."
…
"Why did they stop? It's not time yet!" The fleeing team fought tooth and nail every day, desperate to reach Huacheng in one day. Now, the leader suddenly ordered a halt, which made many people feel uneasy. However, they knew Captain Yang's methods, and few dared to challenge him. They could only ask each other privately.
"I don't know. I heard it has something to do with the people who just arrived." said a person who has a good relationship with the soldiers under Captain Yang.
As soon as the team driving a car similar to an RV arrived at the team, some people paid attention to them.
But everyone thought that it was another person who wanted to escape together, so no one paid any attention.
But now, the team that was desperately rushing forward has stopped. Something big must have happened.
"Xiao Shao just went to ask about it, and he'll know when he comes back."
"Xiao Shao is back. How is he? What's going on?"
They had all built up a bond while fleeing together, and they all had a good relationship, looking out for each other. Surrounded by them, Xiao Shao rarely showed a happy smile.
"I heard from the regiment commander that we may have the opportunity to improve our treatment and join the army directly." When Xiao Shao brought back this news, he could not hide the smile on his face. People who frequently looked at them thought that he had received delicious food from the soldiers in front, and they all stared at his pockets carefully.
"What opportunity?"
"Can I join the army?"
As soon as Xiao Shao opened his mouth, the people listening nearby became excited.
If they can join the army directly, it means they don’t have to worry about food.
The team of tens of thousands of people was too large and they had to find their own food. Many of the old, weak and sick had given up on their own.
There were some people who made a fuss at the beginning, but the troops were having a hard time getting their own food, and after exhausting their manpower to get food for all the personnel, everyone had nothing to do.
Therefore, the order was given on the first day: if you can keep up, then follow; if you can't keep up, then leave the team.
Although the soldiers in the army also had to go out to find food, they were generally much better off than them. After all, their teamwork ability was arguably the strongest.
Therefore, upon hearing about the opportunity to enlist, regardless of whether they were over the enlistment age, they were all eager to sign up. Soldiers are more popular now than ever before! Enlisting is like signing up for a big shot, and anyone who doesn't sign up is a fool!
Xiao Shao shook his head. "I don't know yet. Sanwa just said our chance has come. Let's all open our eyes and raise our hands to sign up."
"Then let's keep our voices down and keep a close eye on everyone. Don't miss any. If there's one, send them in. This is not a competition. Don't let our own people make trouble first." Fang Jianwei, the oldest one, warned the others.
"Don't worry, we brothers will all try to enlist. If we can't, we'll just enlist as many as we can. We'll break the rules." From the very beginning of the apocalypse, they'd fought their way out thanks to their unity. Compared to the others here, with their petty backstabbing and intrigue, these few of them were incredibly close.
Precisely because of their close relationship, they were able to gain many benefits and increasingly understand the importance of teamwork.
Now, everyone wants to join the army, but everyone understands that it is difficult for an individual to survive in the end times.
