Secretary Zheng and the other two hurried back to the Security Department before the end of the work day. As soon as they got out of the car, Secretary Zheng took the lead and walked to the Minister's office. The other two followed behind him, looked at each other, looked at Secretary Zheng's back, and curled their lips tacitly.

The Minister of Security was waiting for news from the three people. When he saw them coming back, he asked, "How is it going? Did she agree?"

Secretary Zheng said respectfully, "I'm sorry, Minister Zhou, we were a step late. The ice-type supernaturalist Li Xue has already registered a mercenary team."

Minister Zhou frowned, then relaxed: "Oh? In that case, get in touch with her more in the future and try to get her to support the government!"

"Okay."

After sending Secretary Zheng and the other two away, he asked someone to retrieve the information of Li Xue's mercenary team. Minister Zhou was holding a cup of fine Longjing tea, standing at the window and looking out. The environment of Area A is on par with the high-end residential areas before the apocalypse. If it weren't for the patrol teams that walked by in an orderly manner from time to time, everything would be the same as before the apocalypse, quiet and elegant.

Not long after, the registration form recording the information of the Hope Mercenary Squad was placed on Minister Zhou's desk.

Minister Zhou looked at the registration form and sighed with some regret, what a pity.

It has been almost three months since the apocalypse, and there are more people with special abilities, but the level of these abilities is not high, and most of them are ordinary five-element abilities. When these abilities are in their infancy, their combat effectiveness is even not as good as some mutants. But the group of scientific research freaks in the base research institute said that most mutants cannot be upgraded, and the top management of the base unanimously kept this news secret.

The life of the mutants is still pretty good now. If they knew that they can't upgrade, I'm afraid the base would panic again.

The government wants their security department to recruit mutants in the base before the news is announced. No matter their level, it's best to recruit them into the mutant army for unified management. For those with low levels, they naturally have enough crystal cores to upgrade, but the premise is that these mutants are worth the government's efforts. The military is

also making a lot of noise, and is also recruiting mutants everywhere. Fortunately, the government offers high benefits, and has more mutants than the military for the time being.

This time, this ice-type esper named Li Xue has elementary esper abilities according to her profile, but judging by the commotion they caused in the cafeteria the day before yesterday, she must have concealed her ability level.

Who wouldn't want to bring a rare esper like her into their side?

But who knew that she actually registered for a mercenary squad? I'm afraid she realized what the base was up to, so she hurried to register for the mercenary squad! There weren't even enough members, so she pulled in a four-year-old child to make up the number. It seems that she doesn't want to get involved in the power struggles in the base! But what she doesn't know is that once you enter the base, no one can avoid the struggle.

Hu Zi brought Xiao Ye back from the cafeteria. As soon as they entered the door, they smelled the long-lost aroma of food.

Xiao Ye's eyes lit up, and he quickly pushed Hu Zi inside, closed the door, and then blocked the gap.

Hu Zi stared at the sumptuous dishes on the table in amazement and rubbed his eyes. Could it be that he had not eaten good food for too long and had hallucinations? Looking again, the dishes on the table were still there. Was it a dream? He pinched himself hard again, "Hiss!" It hurts. The dishes were still placed on the table in good condition.

"Wipe your saliva, it's about to drip." Jian Hui gave Hu Zi an unpleasant look, hum, useless!

Hu Zi raised his hand stupidly and wiped the corner of his mouth. Where was the saliva?

Jian Hui was a little worried about Hu Zi at first, and had been secretly observing his movements, but she was amused by his silly look.

"Look at your useless and silly look." Jian Hui rolled her eyes at Hu Zi, and went to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks.

Hu Zi looked at Jian Hui's charming figure, his heart pounding. The charming look just now (are you sure?) made his heart beat so fast that he couldn't stop. He suddenly realized that he might have fallen in love with this little woman who had a fierce mouth but a kind heart. Thinking of this, he felt very happy.

Xiao Ye stood by, looking at Hu Zi's silly look, touching his chin with his fingers, his eyes rolling around. Hu Zi's vision is really not good! He can fall in love with such a violent woman like Ma Jian, is he a masochist?

However, it seems that it would be nice if someone could help him in installments to show Aunt Jane his "love"! Well, he would help Hu Zi, and help him to hug Aunt Jane as soon as possible.

Hehe, as for whether Hu Zi can withstand Aunt Jane's fist? Xiao Ye said, does that have anything to do with him? If Hu Zi doesn't go to hell, who will? As a teammate, you should have a spirit of dedication. Besides, who made Hu Zi fall in love with Aunt Jane? He is just showing the spirit of helping others.

Xiao Ye analyzed it this way, and felt that if this thing really happened, it would be beneficial to him in every way! Just thinking about it makes me a little excited! The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and I rubbed the bag in my hand vigorously.

Hu Zi turned around and saw Xiao Ye rubbing the bag in his hands with a sly smile on his face. He couldn't help but feel a chill. Is this kid okay?

Li Xue and Jian Hui brought out the bowls and chopsticks, and everyone sat down. Li Xue pretended to go back to the room and took out a bottle of wine and a large bottle of drink.

Hu Zi was not curious about the origin of these things. He just held the cup happily and waited for Li Xue to give him the bottle of wine.

Just as everyone was preparing to raise a toast to celebrate, there was another knock on the door.

Several people stared at the dishes on the table, then looked at other people. What should they do now? Should the door be opened or not? Why is this base so inconvenient? Even eating is like being a thief.

Xiao Ye got up and ran to the door, put his ear on the door, and listened to the movement outside.

"Li Xue, Xiao Ye, are you there? This is Xiang Dong." Xiang Dong's voice rang out from outside the door.

Xiao Ye then opened the door with confidence, dragged Xiang Dong in, and then quickly closed the door.

Xiang Dong was confused by Xiao Ye's actions. What was going on? Just as he was about to ask him, he smelled something fragrant. With a smile on his face, he walked inside. It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

As a result, he saw an unfamiliar man sitting at the table, and then looked at the dishes on the table. Xiang Dong's expression changed slightly.

Li Xue asked Xiang Dong to sit down, and went to the kitchen to get the dishes.

Jian Hui always ignored Xiang Dong and buried her head in eating.

Haohao greeted Xiangdong and then concentrated on eating. He had been eating from the base cafeteria for the past two days. Although he never made a fuss about not eating, the food was not tasty. He had barely eaten half full for the past two days. Today, he finally had something good to eat.

Xiaoye was eating absent-mindedly, thinking about how to help Huzi.
