Since Lin Ma and his "couple" came to join them, several other groups of people have arrived one after another, all led by people with superpowers and followed by ordinary people.
It makes sense. In such a perilous environment, only those with superpowers can thrive. Ordinary people would find it difficult to survive.
The groups that came were not accepted indiscriminately; some had ulterior motives, and Bai Ling used her abilities to filter them out one by one.
Xu Xing's attitude was firm: he simply didn't want this kind of person, no matter how capable they were. If the group that came with him was unwilling, it was simple: they could all just get lost.
What's interesting is that these seemingly unbreakable cliques, once they truly learned about the preferential treatment the villa complex offered, all showed absolutely no sympathy for those with ulterior motives.
The final result is self-evident: those with ulterior motives were abandoned by their teammates when faced with the interests of the group.
These groups combined numbered more than a dozen people, exceeding Xu Xing's expectations.
After these people decided to join, some of the poorer ones went directly into the villa area and settled into the villas that had been arranged for them.
Those with resources drove home at top speed to retrieve the crystal cores and supplies they had.
After learning about the wonderful uses of contribution points, they all exchanged all the crystal cores they had for contribution points.
Then, using contribution points, they exchanged for some necessary food, and for more luxuries, some meat and fruit.
Living in the apocalypse, apart from the major powers, almost all small groups live in constant fear, and their mentality gradually becomes "live for today."
But crystal cores are useless except for increasing strength. They neither fill your stomach nor quench your thirst. After being poor for so many days, it's better to exchange them for some good food and enjoy yourself.
And so, for the first time, Xu Xing finally saw a return on his investment. This was a result he had anticipated, and he believed that as the number of people within his faction continued to increase, this model would definitely form a positive cycle.
Gradually, the sky darkened, and signs of human activity gradually diminished.
The entire city, in the darkness of night, became a paradise for zombies and mutated beasts.
Inside the villa area, apart from a few survivors who were assigned to patrol with flashlights, everyone else had already fallen soundly asleep.
Xu Xing was also holding Su Qianqian in his arms, lightly asleep on the bed. His hands were restless, unconsciously groping around, which made Su Qianqian hum softly twice.
Suddenly! Xu Xing opened his eyes abruptly, his heart pounding rapidly as if he had taken a stimulant, his heart rate reaching a terrifying number in that instant.
Then I touched my chest, and the feeling I had felt earlier vanished without a trace. The whole process lasted only two or three seconds.
Xu Xing let out a soft breath and closed his eyes again. Was it a nightmare or a warning? He pondered in his heart. Otherwise, why would he suddenly feel this palpitation?
Since becoming a superhuman, my body has been able to automatically resist minor illnesses and ailments. This time, the feeling was strange, as if it foreshadowed danger.
Because of his excessive movements, Su Xixi rubbed her sleepy eyes, pursed her lips, and opened her arms to hug Xu Xing's extremely strong waist and abdomen.
She nestled closer to Xu Xing, her voice languid and alluring, and asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
He put his arm around Susie's shoulder and patted her with a smile: "Don't worry, it's just a minor symptom. Go back to sleep."
"Oh." Su Xixi pouted, seemingly a little resentful, then snuggled closer, smelling the comforting scent, and drifted off to sleep again.
Xu Xing was also curious as to why his heart suddenly skipped a beat late at night. After thinking about it, he finally concluded that he was probably just tired from being too busy lately.
Having reached this conclusion, Xu Xing stopped worrying about these minor incidents. He gently rubbed his palms together, and amidst the wonderful tactile sensation, his mind slowly emptied, and he drifted off to sleep.
As dawn broke, Xu Xing quickly opened his eyes, got up, washed up, greeted Su Xixi, grabbed his walkie-talkie, and headed outside.
"Zhou Feng, take your men and wake everyone up. We need to gather in the square. There are some things to arrange!"
On the other end of the walkie-talkie, a swift and decisive voice replied, "Okay, I'll be right there!"
Xu Xing strolled leisurely towards the square, stuffing strawberries into his mouth as he walked. He was still a bit hungry from waking up so early, and having some fruit to tide him over was a nice change of pace.
After a while, when Xu Xing arrived at the square, he found Zhou Feng, Zhao Jie, Ye Kai and the others already standing in the square, leisurely playing with some koi in the fountain pool.
While Xu Xing was impressed by their swift action, he also noticed that there weren't many people in the square at that moment, and many people were still arriving from the surrounding areas.
It looked extremely disorganized and chaotic.
He couldn't help but feel a little angry. He was walking so slowly, wasn't it because he wanted to see a neat line when he got here?
Clearly, the original members of the Qingjing Gang, as well as those recruited from outside, had become accustomed to being undisciplined and some did not understand the rules.
If we use a company analogy, how can an employee arrive later than the boss? That's simply disrespectful.
Xu Xing walked over without saying a word.
At this moment, Ye Kai and the others also noticed that Xu Xing had arrived, and hurriedly shouted for the people around them to hurry up.
Seeing Xu Xing's somewhat gloomy expression, Zhou Feng felt a mix of emotions. He had indeed not handled this matter very well, and he was inwardly blaming the new members, wondering if he should be stricter.
