Chapter 347 Exposing Space...
Zhang Ao and ten other new team members quickly moved towards Gu Qi at the back of the group, their chaotic footsteps sounding somewhat jarring in the deathly quiet street.
Gu Qi raised his hand in a shushing gesture and said in a low voice, "Tread lightly, stay close to me, and keep quiet."
Lu Nange raised her hand to signal the team to continue forward. The closer they got to the logistics park, the stronger the stench in the air became.
The walls on both sides of the road were covered with mottled bloodstains and scratches.
Abandoned vehicles are everywhere, and the number of zombies has increased significantly.
From the overturned carriage and the dark corners, zombies that made "hoarse" sounds would occasionally dart out, their postures contorted, and they would frantically pounce on Lu Nange and her group.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Before Zhang Ao and his group of ten could react, the zombie had already had its head blown off by Lu Beiye, Luo Xingyou, and Shi Xu...
Lu Nange led the group around the main entrance area where the zombies were gathered.
She stopped in front of a wall about five or six meters high. The wall was covered in stains, but the overall structure was still intact.
She turned to look at Chi Yi, who quickly approached.
Lu Nange lowered her voice: "Brother Chi, I have something to say... Could you divide them into groups and make those two level-four ability users the team leaders?"
Chi nodded, straightened up, and waved to the new team members: "Zhang Ao, come with me, I'll divide you into groups."
Zhang Ao and the other ten quickly followed Chi Yi's movements, forming a semicircle on their own.
Chi Yi: "Zhang Ao, Bai Yu, Sun Shiyin, Tang Ci'en, and Du Jiahao are in one group, with Zhang Ao as the team leader."
Wang Xingchen, Li Jia, Wang Xingguang, He Song, and Chi Qi formed a group, with Wang Xingchen as the team leader.
Remember, from this moment on, you are one team. Trust and support one another.
The ten people immediately split into two groups: "Roger!"
Meanwhile, Lu Nange and her group stood on the other side.
The broken walls cast patches of shadow, partially obscuring the figures of the crowd in the dim light.
She glanced around at her companions who had shared life and death with her, her voice extremely low.
"There are plenty of supplies here, but the number of zombies is higher than expected. If we make too much noise, they might go into a frenzy and swarm us, and we might not be able to escape unscathed."
"If we climb over here, we'll reach a parking lot with trucks inside, but there are so many zombies that we can't possibly load the supplies and run away! Going in for supplies that twenty-odd people could carry on their own... I don't think it's worth the risk."
Chi Yanzhou: "So?"
Lu Nange: "My spatial ability..."
"No!" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted in unison by everyone.
Lu Nange sighed softly: "Dual-elemental ability users do exist! I told you my spatial ability is level two?... After taking such a big risk, I can't go back empty-handed, can I?"
He Zhuo looked at the macaw circling and keeping watch in mid-air: "How about... we let Brother Gang do the hard work and carry it out one trip after another?"
Gu Qi shot him a sharp glare: "Shut up! What a terrible idea!"
"Let me finish speaking?" Lu Nange asked with a serious expression.
Everyone nodded obediently: [Nan Nan looks quite serious.]
Lu Nange: "My spatial ability will be exposed sooner or later... and it's not just for this supply gathering. Grandpa Chi and the others are still at the Flameheart Base; we can't give up."
The supplies we've collected in this space along the way are enough to feed our group of ten or so people for several lifetimes...
Ultimately, everything has to be taken out, so I think that since we're going to venture into this logistics park, it's only natural to take out the supplies after we've collected them and exposed the space.
The survivors at the base will be able to exchange a wider variety of supplies, increasing their chances of survival.
We can even negotiate with other bases, trading crystal cores or their unique resources...
Alternatively, we could allow their people to join us, earn 'Flameheart' trading currency through labor, and then use that to purchase supplies.
This is not just a way to survive, it's a glimmer of hope.
Her words rippled subtly through the deathly silence...
Chi Yanzhou thought of the person behind the scenes, who he wondered if was targeting Lu Nange: "Nannan is right... but this is not just a way out, it's a double-edged sword."
He raised his eyes: "If it doesn't concern you, you might be able to stay out of it, but this is the end times, and resources are lifeline."
When everyone knows that Nan Nan holds the reins of power, those who want to harm her will have to think twice—whether they can bear the consequences.
Shi Xu: "The only concern now is that 'dual-elemental abilities' could easily make Nan Nan a target of public criticism."
He then changed the subject and offered a suggestion: "Since that's the case, why don't we muddy the waters completely? When we get back, let's all stick to one story and say that all ten or so of us are dual-elemental ability users!"
One or two geniuses might be considered prodigies, but that's a dangerous situation... What if there's a group? The law doesn't punish everyone, and rumors become less credible. A mix of truth and falsehood is the best form of camouflage.
He Zhuo: "But we don't have a second superpower, do we?"
Chi Yanzhou: "Then let's lower the level of the ability, say level one or two, the kind that's insignificant."
Lu Xici immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right. If the level is low, it's perfectly acceptable for us not to use that so-called second ability at all, and it won't arouse suspicion."
Gu Wan: "Okay, let's decide on this amicably?"
He Zhuo: "What do you guys think... should I choose lightning, wind, or mental abilities as my second superpower?"
Gu Qi rolled his eyes: "You can have the whole department!"
Chi Yanzhou: "Nannan, your safety comes first... If your spatial ability is exposed, then your mental ability absolutely cannot be exposed."
Shi Xu immediately replied, "Nan Nan, from now on, all tasks requiring mental detection and perception will be handled by me. You must promise us!"
Lu Nange nodded: "Okay... I'll do whatever you say."
