Chapter 40



Qin Renhao's words caused the atmosphere in the living room to stagnate for a moment.

Because long before this, there were people with special abilities who wanted to become independent from the team. After all, they were just classmates in the same school, not close relatives or friends. The team was also formed temporarily and was not stable.

When we first arrived at the safe zone, we thought that with more people we could take care of each other. Now that we are in the safe zone and our personal safety is guaranteed, everyone has become more active.

The ability of each person in the team varies, but everyone is treated the same. This seemingly fair but actually unfair treatment will make some people feel uncomfortable over time.

It was just because of the friendship between classmates and the fear of hurting face and maintaining harmony that no one took the initiative to talk about this matter, but in fact, several people had already found a way out behind the scenes.

Now that Qin Renhao mentioned this, those who had ideas also spoke out along his line of thought.

There was an endless argument in the living room. Some agreed, some disagreed, and some remained neutral. Everyone insisted on his or her own point of view.

"Qin Renhao is right. From now on, everyone's belongings should be separated. This will be good for everyone." A boy with dyed yellow hair said with his hands in his trouser pockets.

"Xu Chi, I think you have been thinking about leaving the team for a long time. Don't think I don't know. You have been sneaking out in the middle of the night every day these days and didn't come back until dawn. You must have found a place to go without telling anyone. Don't pretend to be a good person here." Someone retorted.

"Even if I have wanted to leave the team for a long time, so what? Don't you see how filthy and foul this team is? You are all a bunch of cowards! Yesterday, we asked everyone to go out with the big team to kill zombies and earn supplies, but you all made excuses, pretended to be sick, played missing, and refused to go no matter what. Now Qin Renhao uses the things he earned, does he still need your consent? Let me say, you are really arrogant. Who are you to expect others to support you?"

Xu Chi laughed sarcastically, "I'm telling you right here today that I really don't want to stay in this team anymore! Go have fun by yourselves!"

After saying that, Xu Chi left the villa directly without taking anything with him.

The boy who had quarreled with Xu Chi was angry and cursed: "What did I say? People like this gangster should not be recruited into the team in the first place. He fought every day in school, skipped classes, and was uneducated. He always looked down on others because of his family background. What is he proud of now? He still has no supernatural powers like the rest of us."

Xu Chi usually has a bad reputation in school, and now even if some people don't agree with what the boy said, no one is willing to stand up and speak for Xu Chi.

Qin Renhao stroked his forehead with a headache as he looked at the messy scene in front of him. He couldn't help but think of the suggestion made by Captain Su, who led the rescue team, on the way to the safe zone, asking him to consider joining their team.

But at that time he felt that he already had a team, so he did not agree. Now thinking about it, Captain Su might be right. Their temporary school team is too disunited, and conflicts will break out sooner or later.

Ruan Ning, who was standing by, had not expected things to turn out this way. "Qin Renhao, I'd better leave first. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble today."

"I'll take you there."

While everyone else was busy arguing, Qin Renhao took Ruan Ning out of the living room.

When the two men walked to the door, Qin Renhao said apologetically, "I should be the one to apologize to you for making such a joke. I wanted to let you come and live with us before, but now it seems that it is still a question whether our team can continue..."

Ruan Ning smiled bitterly, "I am also responsible for this. If I hadn't followed you here today, you wouldn't have quarreled."

I didn't expect that this time when I came here on a whim, not only did I not even get to meet Chen Ying'er, but I also encountered this kind of situation.

The key point is that she was the one who caused the conflict to break out. Ruan Ning couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"It has nothing to do with you. You've only been here for a few minutes. How can you take all the responsibility on yourself? Even if you weren't here, they would still have quarreled today." Qin Renhao thought for a moment and said, "Where do you live? I'll change the cold medicine and send it to you."

Ruan Ning didn't really have a cold, so even if she did, there was no reason for her to accept his things. She could only refuse, "My health is not as bad as you think. I just wanted to tell you that you don't need to change the medicine. The cold is almost healed, so you don't have to worry."

At this point, Ruan Ning actually regretted the reason of having a cold. The others didn't mind, but they felt a little sorry for Qin Renhao in front of them.

Ruan Ning: "Go in quickly. You don't have to see me off. I think you may need to go in and take care of things inside."

"Okay, then you go back alone and be careful." Qin Renhao felt a little disappointed, but he also knew that under the circumstances he could not keep Ruan Ning here any longer, otherwise who knows what would happen.

After this incident, Ruan Ning realized that there would be so many troubles in a large team. Fortunately, there were only a few members in the team now, otherwise they would be overwhelmed just dealing with these trivial matters every day.

When Ruan Ning returned to the villa, everyone else hadn't returned yet.

Since a week ago, she has often found that everyone in the team is very busy, leaving early and returning late is the norm, and she still has no idea what they are doing.

Last night, Ruan Ning was really curious, so he went to ask Dacheng, who had the best personality and the most innocent, and found out that they were preparing to leave the safe zone, and the supplies were almost ready, so they should be able to leave the safe zone soon.

The journey from City S to the imperial capital is long, spanning three provinces and covering more than 1,600 kilometers.

In the end times, it is not an easy task to travel such a long distance. The strength of the team is one thing, and secondly, a lot of preparations need to be made.

But perhaps because Ruan Ning is the only girl in the team, the team members always subconsciously treat her as fragile glass, always afraid that she would get bumped and frightened, so they would not let her get involved as long as they can take care of her.

There was even one time when Ruan Ning accidentally overheard their conversation and found out that someone in the team was injured.

That night, Ruan Ning called all the team members to the living room.

She looked at the other five people and said solemnly, "I have awakened my supernatural powers."

In the past, Ruan Ning was worried that telling others about the existence of the space would bring her trouble, so she kept it a secret from everyone and never talked about it.

But after spending more than ten days together, Ruan Ning was willing to trust these people in the team.

Although she was just their mission target to some extent and it seemed that they had no feelings for each other, their care for her was sincere. Ruan Ning saw it all and was very grateful.

When the team members heard the girl say that she had awakened her superpowers, they all looked at her in surprise.

Xie Fei was the first to ask curiously, "Ruan Ning, what supernatural power did you awaken?"

Xie Fei is the youngest in the team, and there is no generation gap between him and Ruan Ning, who is now seventeen years old and was twenty years old before the time travel, so he did not call her Miss Ruan like the other members of the team, but called her by her name directly.

Ruan Ning pursed her lips and, imitating the space mutant at the beginning, placed her hands on the table in the living room. In the blink of an eye, the table in front of everyone disappeared.

After everyone saw it clearly, she took the table out of the space on a thought, and the table immediately appeared in its original position again.

Xie Fei, who was closest to Ruan Ning, was stunned by this series of operations. The others were not much better.

Even in the third year of the apocalypse, according to official statistics from China, there were only a handful of people with space abilities, so few that they could be counted on one hand.

At this time in the early days of the apocalypse, space mutants are even rarer.

The team members, including the vast majority of the survivors, had never seen the kind of spatial ability that Ruan Ning had just demonstrated, which was to make objects disappear and reappear.

After confirming that Ruan Ning was not performing magic tricks, everyone's faces showed great curiosity.

Ruan Ning did not try to be mysterious and said frankly: "My ability may not allow me to kill zombies like everyone else, but I can put items in a special space and take them out when I need them."

As the team leader, Xue Chen thinks more than any other team member present.

He knew very well how important supplies were in the end times. The space available in the car for carrying things was limited. Food, daily necessities, and all kinds of supplies were simply not enough. Even if they calculated carefully and scattered them, they could not put much of each kind of supplies. Most of them could only collect supplies while rushing on the way to the imperial capital.

If there really is such a space, it means that their team can bring more supplies this time, and they don't even have to worry about having to discard most of the supplies because of the car being scrapped on the way like the last time they went to rescue people.

I just don't know how big the special space of Ruan Ning's ability is...

Thinking of this, Xue Chen asked excitedly, "Ms. Ruan, can I ask how much your ability can hold?"

Ruan Ning told the data of the space power user when he just woke up, including the feature that the space can preserve freshness and cannot hold living things. However, the area of ​​the space she described is much smaller than its actual size.

Xue Chen thought about it carefully and said, "Ms. Ruan, I think I understand the function of your ability. I just think I might need you to store some of the team's supplies in that space."

The space is indeed not big, but it is enough to solve their current problems. Xue Chen was worried about having no place to put the supplies, but now with Ruan Ning's ability, some of the supplies they had to abandon because they couldn't take them can now be taken with them, and they can even take a lot more.

"Of course that's no problem." Ruan Ning said cheerfully, "As long as I can help everyone, that's fine. I'm just afraid that I can't help at all in this team and always cause trouble for you. I really feel embarrassed."

"Ruan Ning, don't say that. Your ability is much more convenient and practical than my ability to set fires, and we have never felt that you have caused us any trouble." Xie Fei said quickly.

"Ms. Ruan, we are now a team, and you are also our teammate. Teammates cannot discuss these matters."

Having solved the problem that had been bothering him for the past week, Xue Chen felt much more relieved and a smile appeared on his face.

Thinking of the news he had just received from the imperial capital today, Xue Chen originally planned to wait until Master Gu and the others arrived tomorrow to tell them, but now that Ruan Ning was here and the rest of the team had also arrived, he simply told them directly.

Ruan Ning was surprised and delighted: "What? Captain Xue, you mean we will be with my brother and the others from now on?!"
