"Don't worry, little jelly, your dad will be fine!"
Children can't keep secrets, so after telling her favorite older sister Ranran about her worries, she happily hugged the dog and played with it.
Lin Anran smiled and shook her head. Children are indeed happier, but... a distress signal?
Before she could even leave the house, Jiang Qinian brought Chen Chao in from outside.
Besides Chen Chao, Ma Yang and all the soldiers in his squad also came in.
Chen Chao smiled and nodded, greeting Lin's parents.
Lin's father patted the dust off his hands and greeted him warmly, "Brother Chen! Are you done with your work? Are you going to pick up Little Jelly? She's very well-behaved here, so don't worry."
"No, I'm here because I have something urgent to discuss with everyone."
When a large group of people stood in the living room, the spacious room instantly became crowded.
"Dad! What are you doing here? I don't want to go home yet, I want to play here!"
Little Jelly's first reaction was that she was going to be taken home, but that wouldn't do. She hadn't yet had a chance to get close to her lovely, gentle, kind, and beautiful fairy sister Ranran, so she couldn't go back.
"Sweetie~ Daddy didn't come to pick you up. Go play with the big dog. Daddy came to talk to your sister about something!"
"good!"
The small figure led the dog upstairs, and only then did everyone become serious.
Chen Chao cleared his throat, looked at everyone, and said, "Our base made full preparations this time and did not suffer too many losses, but other places did suffer heavy losses."
The base in the neighboring city sent out a distress signal. They suffered severe injuries in this extreme weather and urgently need help. Because time is of the essence, I will lead the base's superhuman team to the rescue first.
Therefore, I would like to ask you to help me protect the base, all the survivors, and my daughter.
Lin Anran frowned slightly, "If only you go, you won't be of any help at all, right? Besides, the journey will definitely be fraught with danger, and even if you manage to get there, you'll be exhausted!"
Even though the only weakness had been exposed, Chen Chao didn't feel ashamed.
From the first time he met this girl, he felt that she was not simple. It was not easy for her to be able to thrive in the apocalypse and live a free and easy life every day, including the superpowers of her family.
He humbly asked, "What do you think, Ranran?"
"It's the invincible, kind, cute, and gentle fairy, Sister Ranran! Dad, you're wrong again!"
A cute, ethereal little voice came from the second floor, drawing everyone's attention to Lin Anran, making her blush.
"Ahem! Let's go too!"
"No!" Chen Chao's face darkened. "This matter cannot be troubled with you; it's too dangerous!"
"This is a matter for our base. Since we live here, we have an obligation to help!"
Lin Anran was actually a little guilty when she said this; she had her own ulterior motives.
Seeing that their daughter had ideas, Lin's parents also chimed in to support her.
Lin's father: "Brother Chen! You should know our capabilities. Even if there is danger, we will protect ourselves!"
Lin's mother: "Yes! We can't have all that strength and no use for it."
Seeing that Chen Chao was still hesitating, Lin Anran came up with a great idea.
"How about this? Even we don't have enough manpower."
"Our supplies have been completely depleted over the past three months. The base can recruit ability users in exchange for supplies. This way, our efforts won't have been in vain, and we can also attract more powerful individuals to help us!"
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the idea. It was indeed a good method, and they really needed manpower. This family was far more capable than them and would definitely be of great use!
"Okay! Let's do as Ranran says, and set off tomorrow!"
"Daddy! It's the invincible, kind, cute, and gentle fairy sister Ranran!"
Lin Anran couldn't help but facepalm; she really couldn't stand this nickname! It was so embarrassing!
Chen Chao acted quickly, and teams kept signing up!
In addition to the two teams of superhumans left behind at the base, Luo Chun's team also stayed behind and was given an important mission.
The next day, ten off-road vehicles set off from the base, along with a super eye-catching RV sandwiched in between.
Chen Chao pressed the intercom in the first vehicle, "Bee--Hello everyone! This is Chen Chao. Next, we are about to face unknown dangers. From now on, please be vigilant."
"Second vehicle received!"
"Three vehicles received!"
"......"
The desolate ground was covered with a thick layer of ice. The only good thing was that many zombies were frozen underground, so there was no need to worry about zombies suddenly jumping out.
However, the slippery ground made it impossible for the vehicle to move. Lin Anran pulled out a box of anti-slip bicycle chains from her storage space, instantly becoming the focus of everyone's attention.
"What a scheming woman! Why didn't she bring it out when we set off? Now she's trying to curry favor!"
"Alright! Xiaoxue, stop talking nonsense! She's the base commander's friend, don't cause trouble."
Yang Xue looked disgusted. "Friends? Hmph~ Who knows what kind of friends they are? Disgusting!"
"Alright! Stop talking! Get in the car."
Only after installing anti-skid chains could the vehicle drive safely and steadily on the ice.
Chen Chao switched the audio to a low volume, saying, "Ranran, thanks to you this time."
"You're welcome, Uncle Chen."
Although anti-skid chains were installed, I didn't dare to drive too fast and drove all the way to the gas station on the highway.
Ten vehicles formed a circle, and everyone set up tents inside the circle, while small teams were arranged around the perimeter to set up defensive lines.
Lin Yu and Gu Chen set up their tent, which was spacious and bright, and the people around them couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Yang Xue stared intently at the tent, which was three times her size, with disdain. "They must be on vacation! Can't you see everyone else is crammed together? They're just wasting space!"
"Yang Xue! Shut up!"
"Boss! You're yelling at me now, aren't you? Have you fallen for that scheming bitch too?!"
She cried and wiped away her tears. Xu Hu softened his tone, "Xiaoxue, that's not what I meant. I was afraid that if others heard, you would be the one punished."
The commotion went unnoticed by others, and Lin Anran had already set up her tent to collect dinner.
Dinner was distributed by Chen Chao, and each person's dinner consisted of a bottle of water, a bag of bread, and a compressed biscuit.
Lin Yu swallowed hard, his voice complicated, "This...this is so unhealthy, I want to eat pig's trotters!"
Yang Xue, who happened to be there to collect supplies, couldn't hold back any longer. "Do you think this is your home? Eating pig's trotters? This is the apocalypse, nobody's going to put up with you!"
A sharp voice rang out from behind, instantly provoking dissatisfaction among those around.
"Yeah! That's wishful thinking. Wanting to eat pig's trotters? We're already pretty lucky to have this much to eat!"
"He's a friend of the base commander, so we might actually get to eat some!"
"......"
