At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sweltering weather gradually cooled down, and the occasional roars of zombies could still be heard on the streets.
A Haval SUV was slowly driving down the street, followed by several rotting zombies who were yelling and reaching out their hands, trying to catch up with the car.
"Honey, those zombies behind us are disgusting. Can you kill them?" A woman dressed in a flamboyant manner, who looked to be in her early twenties, was holding a small mirror, both to touch up her makeup and to observe the situation behind her.
The man referred to as "husband" was a man in his thirties named Lin Ma, who wore thick glasses and looked quite honest.
"How are we supposed to kill these zombies? Do you expect me to get out of the car and use my powers to poison them? If that happens, we'll both be done for."
Although Lin Ma's words were laced with sarcasm, he spoke very gently, as if afraid that the girl sitting in the passenger seat would get angry.
"Hmph, fine, don't be so mean." The woman put away the mirror, glared at Lin Ma, and then said, "Fine, I'm hungry now anyway, I want to eat."
The man helplessly touched his forehead, not wanting to pay attention to the woman's unreasonable behavior, and carefully observed his surroundings to see if there were any shops nearby.
Lin Ma is a late-stage level 1 ability user whose ability is to release toxins around him and avoid damage to his teammates.
This woman wasn't his wife at all; she was his female neighbor whom he had always secretly loved. After the apocalypse, Lin Ma rescued her.
The woman was quite cunning. Seeing that Lin Ma was a promising prospect, she directly offered herself to him and used manipulative tactics on him.
Lin Ma, who had always been single, had never seen anything like this before. In less than a day, he was completely captivated by the woman's charms and allowed to do as she pleased.
I came out today purely because there's been no food around my home for a long time, and I was so hungry that I had to risk coming out to look for supplies.
However, a large portion of those supermarkets, large and small, had already been looted by other survivors. When he returned, all that remained were some rotten fruits and vegetables.
“Honey, look at that! We have to join!” The woman patted Lin Ma and pointed to the banner at the entrance of the villa area.
"Recruiting talent from various fields?"
Three meals a day are guaranteed...
..."
After waiting to finish reading, Lin Ma's eyes lit up, and he quickly parked the car at the entrance of the villa area.
At this moment, Zhao Jie was patrolling the area with two college students at the gate of the villa district, earning some contribution points along the way.
I happened to see this scene: a car was parked at the gate, followed by three or four zombies, giving off a robbery vibe.
Zhao Jie's gaze sharpened, and he instantly unleashed three fireballs, which struck the zombies on the head from a distance.
He then drew his knife from behind, quickly rushed to the back of the car, and cleanly and efficiently dealt with the zombie.
He used the blade to pick out the crystal core and put it into his pocket, all in one swift motion.
At this moment, Lin Ma was trembling and dared not get out of the car. Seeing Zhao Jie's behavior, he was somewhat frightened, fearing that the other party might kill him without saying a word.
He just wanted to start the car and escape as quickly as possible.
The woman in the passenger seat was extremely excited. Watching Zhao Jie's spectacular "performance," she didn't even greet Lin Ma before opening the door and getting out of the car.
"Big brother, you're so amazing!" the woman said in a coquettish tone, glancing at Lin Ma, who was sitting in the car, scrambling to get out, and muttering, "What a coward."
Zhao Jie smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, he turned to Lin Ma and said in a more relaxed tone, "Brother, you must have come because you saw the banner, right? Don't worry, everything we said up there is true. I wonder if you'd like to come over?"
Lin Ma looked at Zhao Jie, whose tone was so kind, and glanced at the banner again, then thought about it seriously.
"You...you really have a Level 3 ability user? And there are even three meals a day provided." Lin Ma asked, confirming again.
"Of course, that's not all. If you contribute enough points, you can eat not only normal meals, but also meat, vegetables, fruits, and even mutated beast meat."
Zhao Jie saw through this person's background at a glance; he was definitely a superhuman!
Although people with superpowers are no longer rare, and during this period, two more people have naturally awakened superpowers, both of which are related to combat.
But every extra person is a good thing. The boss has big plans and I'm sure he needs a lot of manpower.
"Wow, we can eat vegetables and fruits? I...I want to join you!" The woman, who was looking around excitedly in her high heels, pried open the barbed wire fence of the villa area.
Zhao Jie's face darkened, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "Did I call you?"
Despite the fact that they welcome everyone here and the banner doesn't mention any level requirements, Xu Xing and Zhao Jie have actually discussed it.
Attracting people is the first step; after all, only with enough hype and headlines can you attract a wide range of talent. But once they actually come, they will have to go through a series of requirements.
As someone with unique talents, Bai Ling would give them a general assessment. Those who failed would be expelled, and those who tried to cause trouble would not even be able to leave alive.
Lin Ma hesitated at this moment. He was very tempted by the conditions written on the banner, but he was worried about one thing: his so-called "wife".
Before the apocalypse, I had never been in a relationship because of my personality and appearance.
He's only so submissive to this woman now, but human nature is inherently evil. If he goes inside and finds someone even more powerful who takes a liking to his wife, wouldn't he be a bachelor again?
