“Perhaps they’re running out of food.” Xiao Heng’s eyes deepened, and he calmly explained, “After killing all the villains outside, they started heading to some small bases.”
"But if they went to the small base, shouldn't we all know about it?" Mu Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.
He knew from the captain's expression during the meeting that the captain already knew about this.
But they had never heard of it before.
“That’s exactly what I find strange.” Xiao Heng frowned. “They didn’t cause any trouble after entering the base, but quite a few superhumans did disappear from the base.”
He had been thinking about this during the meeting. Generally speaking, mutated animals do not distinguish between ordinary people and those with superpowers.
After all, in their eyes, these are just food.
But the mutated silver wolf was different from the mutated golden python; they had learned to be "picky," and their division of labor was also very clear.
One wants the superhuman's crystal core, the other wants the superhuman's flesh and blood.
Judging from the silver wolf's act of giving supplies to ordinary people, it must have some intelligence. Was it pitying those people?
"I've asked around, and some of the missing superhumans were known for their bad tempers and for using their abilities to bully ordinary people. As for the others, we can't be sure yet."
Qin Zimu mentally reviewed these thoughts, and his previously furrowed brows suddenly relaxed. "If this is true, doesn't that mean we don't need to worry about the threat from these two mutated animals this time?"
Everyone in the squad focused their attention on their captain.
Xiao Heng nodded. "If it's true, then we really don't need to worry."
"Great!" Mu Chen cheered!
He was most afraid of dealing with those mutated animals, after all, those animals were really too troublesome.
He would rather deal with those ugly zombies.
But Jian Yihan was still a little worried. "Don't be too happy yet. We still need to stay vigilant."
"Alright." Xiao Heng stood up, his expression calm. "I'm telling you this because I don't want to see you looking so dejected. Just treat this mission like any other one."
"However, Yi Han is right, we still need to remain vigilant."
We'll set off in three days.
"Okay," everyone responded in unison.
No one asked Xiao Heng why he didn't tell the other two teams about this discovery.
Even Xiao Heng himself had his own ulterior motives.
He personally selected all the members of his team, so their character is guaranteed.
Apart from Zhang Chuyue occasionally showing kindness, the others never bother with other people's affairs.
They were merely bystanders, not perpetrators.
As for the other two teams, that cannot be guaranteed.
Even if they encounter those two mutated animals, the first to be killed will definitely not be anyone in his team.
In the event of danger, Xiao Heng would naturally prioritize protecting the members of his own team.
Three days later.
The three teams at the base joined together and prepared to head to City C.
After thinking about it, Qing Xiaoying followed along, now staying right behind Ji Qing.
Ji Qing is a very gentle man, with a smile often on his lips, and he is also very handsome.
"Xiao Heng, we'll have to trouble you to look after us this time." Ji Qing walked up to Xiao Heng, his smile as warm as a spring breeze.
Xiao Heng replied with a cold expression, "Mm."
He then walked towards Sun Jue. Compared to Ji Qing, he was more inclined to talk to Sun Jue.
Seeing Xiao Heng's poor attitude towards the person he liked, Qing Xiaoying was a little unhappy.
"Hey, your..." Before she could finish her sentence, Ji Qing stopped her.
"Alright, Xiaoying. Thank you for standing up for me, but it's not necessary."
Looking at the impatient Qing Xiaoying, a hint of annoyance flashed in Ji Qing's eyes, but he still wore a gentle smile on his face.
"But you're also the captain of the second squad, why is Xiao Heng treating you like this?" Qing Xiaoying was somewhat dissatisfied with Xiao Heng's actions.
"Xiao Heng's supernatural abilities are formidable, so why should we antagonize him?"
Upon hearing Ji Qing's explanation, Qing Xiaoying awkwardly replied, "Alright then."
Sun Jue, who was talking to Xiao Heng, caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye and felt somewhat relieved.
It's a good thing that woman didn't join his team. If she had, she would have caused a huge uproar.
After all, his team consisted of roughnecks, and no one fawned over her like Ji Qing did.

Liu Yin and Zuo Yuan originally set off for City C following 003's navigation.
But without 003 and Taijin, Liuyin felt that it was rather boring to stay in the car with Zuoyuan alone.
003 has been thinking about going out again ever since she came back last time.
Liuyin didn't stop it, and let 003 take Taijin to City C first.
As mentioned before, she didn't bring 003 out this time just for it to enjoy itself.
However, Liu Yin did not expect that 003's adaptability was quite strong, and it adapted to life in the apocalypse so quickly.
If Liuyin wants to build a zombie empire, she will definitely need 003's help.
After all, she didn't want a large number of zombies; Liuyin didn't want to even glance at those low-level zombies.
003 This time, we'll go to City C first, which will be a good opportunity to clear out some of the remaining debris.
Liu Yin reached out and patted her belly. They should be arriving soon.
The man noticed the woman's movement and Zuo Yuan whispered, "Are they hungry?"
