Just as everyone was about to leave, Ali followed them. Ji Hao didn't stop it and let it follow.
As soon as the group arrived downstairs, Glasses and Fatty, who were standing by the window in room 2021, saw them and guessed what they wanted to do.
The man with glasses said, "Let's go, we'll follow them. If we can really awaken our superpowers, any hardship will be worth it."
The two quickly went downstairs to meet up with Ji Hao and the others.
The man with glasses said, "Boss, I've decided to take a gamble."
Ji Hao wasn't surprised. He knew Glasses was a determined person. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on things from the side. If anything happens, I'll dig you out immediately."
The man with glasses said, "Alright, let's begin."
"I'll help you, meteorite impact!" The fat man used his superpower to summon two meteorites, which smashed the ground into two deep craters.
Without hesitation, Zhao Meijing and Glasses jumped directly into the deep pit.
Ji Hao summoned two invisible spatial hands, pushing the accumulated snow over to cover their figures, leaving only their heads exposed.
"If you really can't hold on any longer, just say so. Don't try to be brave," Ji Hao reminded him.
He, Fatty, and Ahri are all superhumans with incredibly strong physical abilities, so they are not afraid at all, even though it is very cold outside.
But Qiu Yiren and Yan Ruoliu, who were standing outside the pit, couldn't stand it. They were shivering from the cold and their faces turned red.
As for Zhao Meijing and Glasses, who were buried in the snow, they felt like they were about to freeze as soon as they were covered by the heavy snow, which was really uncomfortable.
However, they remained steadfast in their resolve and continued to grit their teeth and persevere.
Qiu Yiren and Yan Ruoliu stood aside watching, admiring their courage.
Soon, their consciousness began to fade, clearly indicating that they had reached their limit.
Ji Hao immediately dug them out. He carried Zhao Meijing, and the fat man carried the glasses. Together they returned to their residence.
Zhao Meijing and Glasses rested for a long time before gradually waking up.
Ji Hao felt particularly sorry for them when he saw how weak they looked, but he didn't say much, after all, it was their own choice.
To gain great strength, one must naturally make sacrifices; there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
For the next few days, Zhao Meijing and Glasses continued to bury themselves in the snow. When they were about to faint, Ji Hao dug them out again. During this time, the two suffered a lot, but there was no sign of them awakening their superpowers, which made everyone very frustrated.
The women, who were initially observing, were somewhat disappointed. If they could awaken their superpowers after enduring some torment, that would be good. What they feared most was suffering for nothing and gaining nothing in return.
Hongmao contacted Jihao via walkie-talkie, saying that the heavy truck RV had been repaired and that Jihao should go drive it.
When Ji Hao arrived at the repair shop, he drove the heavy truck RV outside. Seeing that no one was around, he opened his spatial storage and put the RV inside.
To be fair, Red Hair and his team were quite efficient. Not only did they repair the heavy truck RV, but the other five RVs that were originally under construction were also being built in full swing.
Ji Hao was very satisfied with their performance, so when he left, he left them a lot of food as a treat.
This naturally delighted Red Hair, Master Tang, and the others, further strengthening their resolve to follow Ji Hao.
They were quite emotional, thinking back to when they followed Wei Quan, they were always hungry and often beaten and scolded. But now they can eat their fill every meal, and Ji Hao has provided a lot of generators and heaters, which has greatly improved their living conditions.
Ji Hao even brought over a few computers so that when they were bored, Hong Mao and the others could play single-player games, and they were living a very comfortable life.
It can be said that these underlings have now completely accepted Ji Hao.

The next day, a tracked motorhome arrived outside the community.
The car door opened, and an incredibly long, beautiful leg emerged first. Then, a sophisticated and aloof woman stepped out of the car. She was tall and slender, standing at 172cm. Although she was wearing a coat, her excellent figure and stunning curves were still evident.
She was not much different from the woman in Ji Hao's safe house.
The mature woman, carrying a rifle, led five other women, also armed, into the residential area.
Inside the security booth of the residential community, several elderly men and women were warming themselves by a fire, waiting to rob residents entering and leaving the community.
However, the group is dwindling. Ji Hao killed several of them before, and some more were killed due to frequent conflicts with the homeowners. Now, only three middle-aged women and two middle-aged men remain.
They knew it was dangerous, but they had no choice; if they didn't do it, they would go hungry.
Upon seeing the mature woman arrive with her entourage, the elderly men and women were overjoyed and immediately rushed over with kitchen knives. However, as soon as they reached the mature woman, they regretted it. No matter how powerful a kitchen knife is, can it compare to someone else's gun?
"Who...who are you, and what are you doing in our Happiness Community?" a pockmarked woman asked in a trembling voice.
The mature woman replied in a cool voice, "My name is Lu Rui, and I come from the Hundred Flowers Base. Starting today, your Happiness Community is under our control."
The middle-aged woman with a pockmarked face asked, "Will you protect our safety?"
The mature and sophisticated Lu Rui said, "Yes, but each household needs to hand over 30 packs of instant noodles or equivalent food every month. Is that alright?"
Another older woman stood up and yelled, "Why should we? Shouldn't you young people serve us old folks for free? Why do you expect us to give you food? Don't you know how to respect the elderly and care for the young?"
