Qin Jin was certainly aware of this. Going to an unfamiliar place always made people feel uneasy, especially since this high-risk situation had been making him restless.
They had just seen that the woman in Shelter No. 7 was seriously injured, and they assumed that the shelters were still recovering from their losses. It would be unreasonable to ask these people to force them to open the door and let them in.
For those with higher moral standards, it's simply impossible for them to barge in and take advantage of someone in distress.
Moreover, Gu Changge was right about one thing: both she and Lin Beiyue had their own personal spaces containing a lot of supplies and valuables. Theoretically speaking, the possibility of cooperation was still quite high.
Even if we don't cooperate, a small room for temporary accommodation would be fine.
"Everyone, stick together and advance cautiously." Lin Beiyue's hand holding the knife suddenly tightened, as if she was a little nervous.
"What's wrong?" Qin Jin tensed up instantly, but he didn't notice anything unusual.
The people around were also somewhat bewildered, but they still obeyed the order immediately and began to move inward.
"Tear..."
A faint but unusual sound made everyone tense up in the snow. Everyone looked toward the source of the sound, and those nearby felt some liquid splash onto their protective suits.
Turning around, I saw blood gushing from a teammate's shoulder.
The injured man stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered as to why he had been injured so suddenly. He clutched his shoulder, his body trembling, and was supported by his comrades.
"Be on alert!" Qin Jin and Gu Changge snapped to attention and shouted in unison.
Lin Beiyue remained silent, feeling somewhat nervous in such a critical situation. Of course, she wasn't as experienced as Qin Jin and Gu Changge, but she reacted immediately and, together with Qin Jin, shielded Gu Changge behind her.
Gu Changge has only awakened one enhancement ability, which can greatly increase the strength of their abilities. However, the second ability, which is said to be an offensive ability, has not yet been awakened. Gu Changge is currently very vulnerable.
Someone quickly checked the injured teammate's injuries. Fortunately, it was just a superficial wound, about half a centimeter long. In addition, he had been working in the freezing cold for so long, which made him mentally and physically weak, causing his body to go limp.
It's good that it's not poisonous; otherwise, we would have to use a treatment immediately.
Since the healing agent could hinder the spread of the zombie virus, it could also hinder the spread of the toxin. The healing agent that each of them carried could be considered an all-purpose life-saving medicine.
Immediately, a healing-type ability appeared. He took off his gloves, and a small white flower, like a daisy, grew from his palm. It was quite pretty.
The person next to him immediately picked the daisy and placed it on the person's wound.
The moment the daisy touched the wound, it turned into powder and stopped the bleeding in no time.
Seeing that his little daisy worked, the superhuman accompanying him was clearly excited.
She was a girl and was worried that her basic healing ability wouldn't be of any help to her teammates. Now it seemed she was overthinking it. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to put on her gloves, she suddenly felt a chill in her palm and was pushed aside by Lin Beiyue.
"when!"
Lin Beiyue's machete precisely intercepted the enemy's Tang sword, and only then could everyone finally see the enemy's face clearly.
This appeared to be a man with a buzz cut, wearing a white bodysuit, and his lower face was covered by a white scarf. However, Qin Jin recognized him at a glance from his bright and spirited eyes as Lin Junyan, the leader of the Junlin Battle Group.
However, Lin Beiyue's focus was not on Lin Junyan's face. Lin Beiyue looked at her machete in surprise. As a weapon changer, she was very confident in the toughness of her weapon.
Lin Beiyue's machete is even inferior to the highest-grade and hardest machete that the country has painstakingly developed.
However, during that collision, Lin Beiyue's machete was chipped.
"Commander Lin, isn't it a bit inappropriate to greet someone like that on our first meeting?" Lin Beiyue's expression darkened, and with a flick of his cleaver, the nick on it healed instantly, as if he had never been injured.
Seeing this, Lin Junyan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You inexplicably tried to approach my battle group, so giving you a warning isn't too much to ask, is it?" Lin Jun said in an unfriendly tone, "It's just a greeting."
After exchanging greetings, the injured team member touched his neck, where a white mark remained on his combat uniform.
If it weren't for his sense of crisis alerting him to something amiss and instinctively raising his shoulder, it would have been his neck that had been slashed with a half-centimeter mark.
The neck is such a delicate area; if the throat is scratched, precious treatment medication will have to be wasted.
"Commander Lin, I mean no offense. We are an exploration team dispatched by the government. We just need to find a place to stay because our exploration will take a long time." Lin Beiyue was not angered by Lin Junyan and chose to ignore Lin Junyan's provocation.
"We have intelligence and supplies to offer in exchange for a temporary stay..."
Before Lin Beiyue could finish speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her chest.
When people are talking, their vigilance subconsciously decreases, especially when someone like Lin Beiyue is trying to reason with others.
The protective suit was torn, revealing the armor underneath. The Tang sword left a white mark on the armor. Fortunately, Lin Beiyue reacted quickly and condensed a defensive weapon armor in time, otherwise this would have been a serious injury.
"Miss, you're still spouting your old sermons even in the apocalypse? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Lin Junyan licked his lips and gave a mocking smile. "Looks like I still have a lot to teach you."
"Teach us a lesson? Don't you know how you died in your past life?" Gu Changge mocked.
Gu Changge noticed something was wrong in time and helped Lin Beiyue enhance her superpower, which is why Lin Beiyue's superpower condensed so quickly.
Gu Changge has a strong sense of teamwork.
"You! Wait, you're Gu Changge! And you..." Lin Junyan finally noticed Qin Jin and Gu Changge, and his expression immediately froze.
Lin Beiyue was different; Lin Beiyue died young, and Lin Junyan had no idea who Lin Beiyue was.
But he knew these two people; they had once been his rivals, but before they could compete to the very end, Lin Junyan died.
In his past life, Lin Junyan was like this. He seemed arrogant and domineering, and he was ruthless and vicious, often leaving no room for maneuver. In reality, he lacked a sense of security from a young age. His father and mother did not love him. As soon as he was born, he was thrown into a remote place and raised by the steward, who ignored him completely.
This led Lin Junyan to develop a habit of always trying to use such an extremely forceful method to increase her sense of security, which is, to put it bluntly, a way of making up for childhood trauma.
However, the ruthless methods, which left no room for compromise, backfired.
At first, he did manage to convince many people to form a war group with him. Later, the discontent and fear among the people were instigated by someone unknown, which directly led to the rebellion of his subordinates. They attacked him en masse, causing Lin Junyan to die at the hands of his own people.
