After Xu Bai turned off the system data, he came to his senses and saw Captain Lin's nervous expression.
"There's enough food. As long as you're not lazy and gluttonous, you can live well in our city. It's just that you might need to squeeze in a little. There aren't enough beds for so many people."
Hearing this, Captain Lin breathed a sigh of relief: "If there aren't enough beds, we can sleep on the floor. It's not a big problem."
"Then it's settled. When we retreat tomorrow, we'll go straight to your place."
"Comrade Xubai, on behalf of everyone, I want to thank you for saving our lives."
Captain Lin stood up and saluted Xu Bai with gratitude.
Xu Bai knew that Captain Lin was not only referring to taking them in to live in the base, but more importantly, he was thanking Xu Bai for rushing over from the base and killing countless zombies, which allowed so many of them to survive.
Captain Lin knew very well that if Xu Bai had not been there at night, far fewer of them would have survived.
Xu Bai didn't say much. He just said, "I am also from the Flower-Growing Country." Then he looked at Qin Tian.
She is a heartless person and not that great. She has her own city and her own residents to protect. Only after she is sure that the zombies will not enter Dawn City in a short time will she rush to the military base.
In the previous life, Qin Tian often reminded her of the tragic situation of that day, and he felt very sorry and regretful.
But in this life, they were not completely wiped out. He also lost a lot of comrades. But Xu Bai tried his best. She had no special powers. Now she was just an ordinary person without a heart, with stronger fighting ability than ordinary people and not noticed by zombies.
Qin Tian was leaning against the wall, his eyes closed and his brows furrowed. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead. He hugged his arms tightly and slowly curled up into a ball, his whole body trembling.
The basement was already crowded, and when Qin Tian fell to the ground, the people around him were frightened and quickly got up.
"Qin Tian, Qin Tian, what's wrong with you?"
The people nearby were about to step forward to help Qin Tian up, but Qin Tian was already rolling on the ground in pain.
"What's going on?"
Captain Lin was originally discussing the trip to Dawn City with everyone when he heard Qin Tian's heavy breathing and painful voice, along with the discussions and worried voices of others, which was very noisy.
Captain Lin held his breath and walked quickly to Qin Tian.
"Be quiet, be careful not to attract zombies."
"Qin Tian, Qin Tian, what's wrong with you? Are you injured somewhere?"
Captain Lin squatted down and saw that Qin Tian had begun to slap his head with both hands in pain. Captain Lin quickly reached out and grabbed Qin Tian's hands to stop him from slapping his head.
The sound of slapping made people suspect that Qin Tian wanted to smash his own head.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he grabbed Qin Tian's hand, he saw a lot of black lines appearing on Qin Tian's face, and his eyes were red.
Is this... turning into a zombie?!
Captain Lin held the wooden gun in his hand and aimed it at Qin Tian, but he couldn't bring himself to attack.
This kid is the leader of his team. He is smart and motivated, and a good seedling. After Qin Tian joined the army, he has been with Qin Tian. They have been together for so many years, it would be a lie to say that there is no affection between them.
Those present also felt sad.
"Don't open it, he's just about to awaken his superpowers."
Xu Bai stopped Captain Lin's gun, took out his outdoor rope, squatted down and tied up Qin Tian's limbs.
"Really?" Captain Lin was delighted at first, but after seeing Qin Tian's face, he asked doubtfully, "But I remember awakening abilities wasn't like this. They all seemed to be fine after a good sleep, but Qin Tian..."
Captain Lin was naturally happy that Qin Tian did not turn into a zombie, but with so many people in the basement, a little carelessness could easily cause casualties. After seeing Xu Bai tie up the man, he felt relieved.
Captain Lin paused before he finished speaking. Thinking about how Xu Bai only had a long sword on him before, and now he suddenly had a rope, his eyes lit up: "Xu Bai, do you also have space-related abilities?"
There is not even one person in their group who has space-related abilities. The abilities they possess are mostly fire and wood, and there is only one water-related ability.
They originally guessed that the space system should not exist.
I didn't expect that one would appear in front of me. It would be so convenient for the Space Department to go out and collect materials!
Xu Bai didn't deny or admit it, avoiding the topic: "If you don't awaken at the beginning of the apocalypse, you will basically suffer this much in the later stages. If your willpower is not strong, you will also be transformed into a zombie."
"You know so much about this?"
Captain Lin looked at Xu Bai in confusion. Logically, Xu Bai should still be in college at her age, but the way she spoke and behaved did not sound like a student. Instead, she seemed more like someone who had done too much research on a certain industry.
"I've seen something similar before."
Captain Lin nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After all, the fact that Ren Xubai could appear in their base during the zombie tide meant that he often went to other places to collect supplies. It was normal for him to have been to many places and met many people.
Although Qin Tian was kidnapped, Captain Lin still asked the people who were originally around Qin Tian to stay away from him to prevent any accidents.
Didn’t Xu Bai say that if your willpower is not strong, you may also become a zombie?
He believed that Qin Tian could awaken his superpowers, but he could not represent everyone in the basement.
The basement was now divided into two sides. One side had a large empty area with Qin Tian as the corner, while the other side was crowded. No one was resting and they were all staring at Qin Tian's position.
Xu Bai naturally sat leaning against Qin Tian.
"I don't know why Qin Tian has the opportunity to awaken. If you feel uncomfortable, you must speak up, otherwise everyone will suffer. It won't be a big deal if you speak up. We will tie you up with ropes."
"Check if there are any scratches or scrapes from zombies."
"Captain Lin, can Qin Tian really awaken his superpowers?"
"We'll know soon. What are you afraid of if you're already tied up?"
"That's what I said. What if I can't tie him up after he turns into a zombie..."
"So what do you want? You can't just kill him while he's still a human being."
“…”
The person who was talking to Captain Lin was a young man with fire abilities. He was usually a bit timid, and was very worried that after Qin Tian was tied up and turned into a zombie, they would not have time to defend themselves and Qin Tian would rush over and bite them.
The basement was somewhat quiet.
All that could be heard was Qin Tian's painful growl, which sounded like the zombies outside.
Captain Lin stared at Qin Tian. When he heard the voice, his heart tightened and he kept praying for Qin Tian. He hoped that this kid would not turn into a zombie!
