Lin Zhenzhen clenched her fists.
"He is not one of ours."
Without saying a word, He Dali grabbed Lin Zhenzhen by the collar and walked out.
But he didn't expect this man, who looked like a skinny monkey, to be so fast.
Before he could even see what was happening, the other person broke free from his grasp and delivered a slam to his head.
He Dali covered his head and roared, "Are you fucking asking for death?!"
Lin Zhenzhen took a step back, avoiding his attack, and then said calmly.
“My name is Karl, and I am a fifth-level healing ability user. I am currently fighting alone, but I want to become your teammate.”
He Dali's fist stopped in mid-air.
Ji Xueyi was the first to react: "What did you say? You're a healing-type ability user?"
Lin Zhenzhen didn't answer; she simply drew her gun.
"Try it and you'll see."
Before anyone could react, she had already pointed at the person in front of her and pulled the trigger.
Gunshots rang out, and He Dali frowned.
He looked down at the hole in his trouser leg and gritted his teeth, saying, "What are you doing?"
The system laughed loudly: [Host, he's a strength-type ability user; he's incredibly tough, bullets can't penetrate him.]
Lin Zhenzhen felt embarrassed, having completely forgotten about this incident.
She twitched her lips, then adjusted her expression, making it seem as if everything was under her control.
"How else can I prove my healing abilities to you?"
"So you just opened fire on me without saying a word?"
"Aren't you alright?" Lin Zhenzhen said, annoyed by his yelling. "How can someone so big be so timid?"
He Dali's face turned red with anger: "You! You!"
Lin Zhenzhen squatted down and said helplessly, "I'll heal your superficial wounds now, okay?"
Her hand gently stroked He Dali's leg, and a magical scene unfolded.
The wound that was bleeding immediately returned to normal, without even a trace of injury remaining.
He Dali lifted his leg in disbelief and examined it closely: "It's healed already?"
Lin Zhenzhen looked at Ji Xueyi: "So, how about it? Would you like to consider letting me join you?"
Medusa chuckled and teased, "Captain, haven't you always said that our team is just missing a healing-type ability user? Now that the treasure has been delivered right to your doorstep, why don't you hurry up and catch it?"
Ji Xueyi was indeed very excited at this moment, but he had more to consider than the other two.
Healing ability users are already rare, let alone fifth-tier healing ability users.
Such a person would be highly sought after in any war zone, so how could he possibly not have teammates?
Lin Zhenzhen saw through his thoughts and chuckled, "Of course, I don't necessarily have to join your team."
She raised her hand and pointed at the man watching the show from the side.
“I came here for him.”
"If he weren't among the participants in this mission, I wouldn't have joined in."
Gu Zhongsheng's smile widened slightly: "Oh?"
He stuck out his tongue and lightly licked his lips, his tone extremely ambiguous: "Have we met before?"
"I've never met you before," Lin Zhenzhen said, avoiding his gaze. "But I've long admired your name."
He Dali understood: "Just say he's your idol."
Lin Zhenzhen remained noncommittal, only looking at Ji Xueyi and saying, "I understand your doubts. If you don't agree, then forget it."
Seeing that he didn't speak, He Dali said anxiously, "What is there to hesitate about? If there is a healing-type ability user in the team, our mission success rate will be greatly improved!"
Ji Xueyi certainly understood this principle, but he wasn't in charge of the task, so his word didn't count.
He looked at Gu Zhongsheng on the sofa, who smiled slightly and said, "I have no objection."
Ji Xueyi let out a breath and extended his right hand to Lin Zhenzhen: "In that case, welcome to join us."
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
Lin Zhenzhen withdrew her hand and turned her gaze to Gu Zhongsheng, who was silent to the side.
Ji Xueyi also turned to look at him, and carefully said, "...Sir, this is our basic situation."
"More information is available on the website. I believe you have also learned about us after receiving the task."
Gu Zhongsheng stretched out his index finger and gently scratched his chin.
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Lin Zhenzhen knew he definitely wouldn't look at these people's information.
He's clearly the zombie king; shouldn't he be spending his time thinking about how to lead the zombies to conquer human war zones?
Why did you come here to be a mercenary? Are you kidding me?
He Dali couldn't wait for Ji Xueyi's beating around the bush and said directly, "We don't know you and don't believe you have the ability to be the captain of this mission."
Upon hearing this, the temperature in the entire room plummeted.
Lin Zhenzhen clearly saw He Dali, who was standing in front of Gu Zhongsheng, shiver.
Ji Xueyi quickly corrected him, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that everyone is very curious about everything about you."
The man in front of me suddenly appeared on the mercenary ranking list a month ago, rising from being unknown to number one.
No one knows whether he is male or female, what he looks like, where he comes from, what his abilities are, or what his rank is.
Even his ID on the mercenary website was a question mark.
It wasn't until late three nights ago that the question mark was updated to "blind man".
Medusa whispered in Lin Zhenzhen's ear, "He can control the temperature, which means he has ice abilities. But to be ranked number one on the mercenary list, he must have at least two abilities."
Lin Zhenzhen nodded thoughtfully; she was also very curious about Gu Zhongsheng's abilities.
“Little Karl~” Medusa breathed softly in her ear, “I guess he has both water and ice powers. How about we make a bet? If you lose, you can come home with me tonight.”
"No." Lin Zhenzhen refused her decisively.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Gu Zhongsheng calmly raised his right leg and gently placed it on the leather sofa in front of him.
His movements were slow and deliberate, even exuding an air of elegant nobility, but Lin Zhenzhen now viewed him through a strange lens.
It was as if he were standing on a bloody skull.
"I am an all-attribute ability user. As for my level, I should be at least level six."
"?!" Ji Xueyi suddenly stood up. "You have all-attribute superpowers?"
"That's impossible!" Medusa exclaimed. "My husband is clearly the only one on the entire continent with all-attribute superpowers."
Lin Zhenzhen frowned. "Your husband?"
Gu Zhongsheng seemed not to hear their doubts. He looked at Lin Zhenzhen and called out "Karl" in a low voice.
Lin Zhenzhen turned her head and saw the sinister smile creeping onto his lips.
"My name is Sheng."
