Seeing everyone's eyes cast at him, Fresnel really enjoyed this feeling.
"I think everyone has heard of the [Exploration Plan], right?"
He looked around and paid special attention to Wang Xiao, who joined the team last.
"I know. Brother Blind mentioned this to me some time ago."
"Then I won't go into details. Anyway, the riots by the infected a few days ago, coupled with the death of Lord Holy Shield, have caused the members of the Parliament of Hope to take it very seriously.
“I heard that they discussed it for a long time and finally decided to restart the plan and explore outside the wall following the footsteps of decades ago.
"After all, everyone who knows these two things understands that if this continues, humans will only die slowly."
Wang Xiao listened carefully to the captain's story, and suddenly felt the body of the man beside him stiffen for a moment.
After reaching the second energy level, his five senses were enhanced again. Although it was not as obvious as from an ordinary person to the first energy level, he was still able to sense some information from his surroundings.
He suddenly remembered that Zhanmu always looked a little lost when he told him about the exploration plan.
The other party also said that the exploration plan had not been mentioned for many years and had gradually been forgotten in everyone's mind.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao had some guesses in his mind.
Fresnel in front of him was already talking nonstop:
"What I want to say is that the average human body is indeed relatively weak, and the exploration team will inevitably choose from those with super powers. I know that everyone has done their best, but I still hope that everyone can work harder. This will be an extremely glorious thing."
When he said this, the team members who had received corresponding education since childhood began to get excited.
Especially the Puppet Master and Beacon, the two female team members were already very happy at this time.
The super-powered people who are recruited by the government enjoy treatment that is unimaginable for ordinary civilians, so they do have a loyalty that ordinary people cannot achieve.
Although Wang Xiao's expression didn't change much, he was also full of anticipation for what was outside the city wall.
Just like the boy who goes to the beach to pick up shells when the tide goes out, Wang Xiao also longs to go out and explore in the gaps between the beast tides. He still has a strong curiosity about the outside world.
However, the man next to him lowered his head amid the joyous atmosphere of everyone.
After several dozen seconds, when everyone's emotions had calmed down a little, Zhanmu raised his lone hand:
"Captain, I have something to say."
Seeing the most experienced team member's serious expression, Fresnel also became serious for once:
"Go ahead. We are all comrades who can stand behind each other. There is nothing we cannot talk about."
"Captain, I want to say that if you want to take everyone to participate in the selection, then please allow me to withdraw from Team 25."
Beacon and the puppeteer's expressions froze on their faces, while Wang Xiao let out a long sigh, feeling that his guess had been partially verified.
The blind man didn't look at his teammates' expressions, not sure if it was because of disappointment or guilt:
“Let me explain, there are two main reasons:
"First, I'm not young anymore. Everyone knows that people with super powers age a little slower than normal people, but I'm already in my thirties and no longer at my prime age. Also, my abilities aren't very versatile for outdoor exploration, and my combat abilities are very limited. I'll become a burden to everyone."
"If that's the case, then I'm also a burden."
The puppeteer at the side suddenly said, as a young woman in her twenties, a trace of anger rarely appeared on her pretty face, as if she was condemning the blind behavior.
“When my ability is activated, my main body will fall into a complete coma. If an enemy kills my body during this period of time, my consciousness will be trapped in the body of the alien beast forever.
“For so long, I have been able to fight until now thanks to everyone protecting my body.
"I know I will cause trouble for everyone, but I am confident that my contribution can make up for this shortcoming. Mr. Blind, you were my guide. I know this is not your real idea, so why not tell me the real reason."
It was the first time that Wang Xiao heard his teammate talk so much. He turned to look at Zhanmu, waiting for him to speak.
"That's my second reason. I've told each of you about the last exploration project. Why am I the only one who remembers it and keeps bringing it up?"
A trace of sadness flashed across the blind face:
"Because my parents were members of the last two exploration teams in the previous exploration plan. I don't want anyone to forget that failure, and I don't want them to die in vain."
He seemed to have completely opened up his mouth, letting go of all the secrets he had carried, and revealing his heart, liver, spleen and stomach to everyone:
“My parents were among the first batch of superpowers, but their abilities were only average, so they were not well-known.
“As a registered superpower couple, they cannot be assigned to work in the same team.
"The first team to lose contact was the one my father was in. He led the team members to explore 20 kilometers south of Hope City. That's where his signal finally disappeared. But as early as 10 kilometers away, Hope City could no longer hear the messages he sent back.
"My mother must have had some premonitions. That morning, she put on a very delicate dress that they had given me before, cooked many dishes for me that I couldn't name, and then she left.
"And then nothing happened. I received two obituaries and two pensions, and heard on the radio that the Discovery Program was frozen indefinitely..."
