Support teams arrived one after another, wave after wave, starting with Districts One and Two, and then people from Districts Three and Four...
In the end, with everyone's concerted efforts, the entire group of Level 1 mutant zombies in this area was completely wiped out. They dug up all the crystal cores they could, leaving almost none behind. Although the crystal cores might not be useful to them now, they looked like treasures. They dug them up first and took them back. Whether they were useful or not would be another matter.
After everything was over, Chen Yao felt that she was almost exhausted. She almost lost her strength instantly, leaned against the corner of the wall exhausted, and sat there motionless to rest. She didn't even have the strength to take out the full crystal cores in her pocket to absorb and replenish energy.
But even at this moment, she still didn't forget to ask the system a question that concerned her most: "Baby System, can you help me check, what level am I at now?"
The system gritted its teeth and replied weakly, "Host, you are still at level three."
Chen Yao: ...
The system was afraid that she would be disappointed, so it quickly added, "But you are not far from the fourth level now. I believe you will soon be able to break through the third level and reach the fourth level!"
Chen Yao: Okay, okay, she is strong.
…
When He Jingqian walked towards Chen Yao, a little tail named Xu Jia followed behind him.
He frowned and quickened his pace, but unexpectedly Xu Jia behind him also sped up immediately.
He Jingqian: ...
Xu Jia also took the initiative to urge He Jingqian: "Captain, let's walk faster. I see Chen Yao is very tired. I brought a bottle of water in my bag. I want to give it to her quickly."
After He Jingqian pondered for a moment, he said calmly, "I think she doesn't need the water you gave her."
Xu Jia: "Why?"
He Jingqian: "Because she has water-related abilities, she shouldn't be short of water."
Xu Jia:!!!
A trace of regret flashed across his face: "Ah...Is that so? Never mind then."
He Jingqian nodded and continued, "But you brought everything with you. It's just right. I'm thirsty now. Why don't you just give me the water you brought?"
Xu Jia: "Oh, okay, then I'll give it to you now."
As he said that, he took out a bottle of unopened mineral water from his backpack and handed it to He Jingqian.
He Jingqian took it and smiled, "Thank you."
Xu Jia: "It's okay, it's just a bottle of water, Captain, you don't have to be so polite."
He Jingqian just smiled without saying anything, opened the bottle cap of mineral water, and drank half of it in one breath.
Not far away, Xie Xu'an nudged Zhang Qi with his shoulder, motioning him to look towards the captain and Xu Jia, and asked in confusion, "Hey, what's Xu Jia doing? The captain and his wife are having a sweet time, why is he joining in the fun?"
Zhang Qi was equally puzzled: "I think anyone on our team would be able to guess the captain's feelings for Chen Yao, so why didn't Xu Jia see it?"
Xie Xu'an: "Yeah, let's remind him privately later, so that he won't be so stupid all the time."
Zhang Qi: "Yeah, and I see that Chen Yao is not opposed to the captain either, so there is definitely a chance for the two of them."
Xie Xu'an: "I think so too."
…
When Chen Yao saw He Jingqian coming over with a bottle of water in his hand, she extended her hand to him.
He Jingqian was stunned and offered his empty hand. Unexpectedly, Chen Yao just shook her head and pointed at the half bottle of water in his hand, indicating that he should give it to her to drink.
He Jingqian:!!!
Xu Jia:!!!
He Jingqian said embarrassedly: "I've already drunk this..."
At this time, Xu Jia had no more water in his bag, so he could only ask pitifully: "Chen Yao, don't you have water-related abilities? We thought you had plenty of water to drink."
Chen Yao nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "I do have water-related abilities, but now I have used up all my abilities... There is almost nothing left."
Her hoarse voice made He Jingqian feel distressed. He didn't care whether he had drunk it before or not. He just unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle in his hand and handed it to her, even wanting to feed it to her himself.
Xu Jia:!!!
After drinking half the bottle of water in her hand, Chen Yao finally felt a little moisturized in her dry and hoarse throat. She smiled and said, "Thank you."
He Jingqian glanced at Xu Jia, who looked aggrieved, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Xu Jia."
Xu Jia: ...
He just felt that the weird feeling in his heart became stronger. Although it was just a small bottle of water, but... it always felt weird no matter how he looked at it.
Seeing that Chen Yao looked tired, He Jingqian asked her if she had no crystal cores left. As he asked, he took out a handful of crystal cores from his collection and put them in her hand.
Chen Yao shook her head and said, "I have a crystal core, I'm just tired and want to sit down and rest for a while."
He Jingqian heard this and sat down next to her and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
Hearing this, Xu Jia also wanted to sit over and accompany Chen Yao, but he glanced at the corner. There was a blind spot to the right of Chen Yao, and He Jingqian was already sitting to the left. So...how should he sit?
Xu Jia thought about it, was he going to sit next to the captain?
Wouldn't that seem weird?
Xu Jia gritted his teeth, still unsure whether he should just sit there.
Not far away, Xie Xu'an watched the three of them getting along. He spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth and shook his head with a sigh, "Xu Jia, this kid, is still not good enough at reading people's expressions."
As he spoke, he stood up straight and walked straight towards them.
Zhang Qi asked him, "What are you going there for? To join in the fun."
Xie Xu'an shook his hand and said helplessly, "I'll go get that kid Xu Jia back. I can't really just watch him sit next to the captain like an idiot, can I?"
Zhang Qi: "That's right. If no one stopped him, he would have done it."
Xie Xu'an suddenly stopped and said, "After all, the captain liked Chen Yao first, right? And maybe they've already started an underground relationship. Then, is Xu Jia considered a mistress?"
Hearing this, Zhang Qi instantly stood up, brushed off the dust on his pants, and chased after Xie Xu'an, saying, "Come on, I'll go with you and bring this kid back."
Xie Xu'an: "Let's go."
But they were still a step slow.
because……
Xu Jia had already sat down next to He Jingqian, and after he sat down, he said to Shen Yao: "Chen Yao, I will accompany you too."
At the same time, he politely said to He Jingqian, "Also accompany the captain."
The main focus is to leave no one behind.
He Jingqian:!!!
He Jingqian: ???
Xie Xu’an:!!!
Zhang Qi:!!!
The system clapped its hands and said, "A movie with three people, what a great movie."
Chen Yao: ...

He Jingqian: You don’t have to count me in.
