Chapter 103 Joining

The two children lowered their heads and dared not speak because of what Yun Shuhuai said.

However, Yun Shuhuai's last words were more subtle. Xi Qing complained: "Are you praising him?"

Yun Shuhuai lay on the sofa and looked at Xi Qing and said: "He is indeed very brave. Even before the apocalypse, two ten-year-old children dared to run so far. After the apocalypse, there are zombies everywhere. This child can actually use his supernatural power to take Xiaowan so far without any harm. If that accident hadn't happened, they might have been able to walk to the base."

"Speaking of which, he is very similar to you."

Yun Shuhuai smiled and said nothing.

Ye Zixu couldn't help but curl up his lips when he heard Yun Shuhuai praising him.

Yun Shuhuai looked at the boy who was laughing with his head down, and said unhappily, "I'm flattering you, but you're still acting crazy, right? You made a rash decision. Everything is unknown outside the apocalypse. You were lucky before, but you won't be so lucky forever. How can you protect your sister if you're so reckless?"

Ye Zixu pouted, "But we're fine, aren't we?"

"Oh, you are quite optimistic. If we hadn't encountered them, there would be two more little zombies in this area in the future, right?"

Xi Qing looked at the two children who were forced to lower their heads again and said, "Okay, don't blame him. They were scared by being surrounded by zombies today. If they hadn't come to this village to find something to eat, they wouldn't have met those people."

Yun Shuhuai looked at the backpack beside the sofa. It was the one Yun Shuhuai left for them at that time. There was basically no food in it. Only some clothes were left, and they were all tattered.

"Tsk, if you're going to the base, just follow us afterwards."

Hearing Yun Shuhuai's words, the two children suddenly looked up at her, unable to hide the joy on their faces, and said in unison: "Thank you, sister!"

Yun Shuhuai looked at the two children who were happily hugging each other, thought for a while, then looked at Xi Qing and said: "Okay, Xiaoxu, Xiaowan, it's getting late now, you two should go and rest first. Your sister Qing and I need to talk about something." She took out a new bed sheet and a blanket and handed them to them. The two children obediently carried them into a room.

But before going in, Ye Zixu turned around and said to them: "Sister, thank you so much today."

"If you want to thank me, you must be obedient in the future."

"...Got it."

"Okay, go to bed, good night."

After they closed the door, Yun Shuhuai winked at Xi Qing, and the two of them came to the corridor outside the room.

"So, you want them to join the team"

"I have this idea. These two children are pretty good. Although they are left-behind children, they have not grown up badly. Xiaoxu is very responsible, and Xiaowan is also very well-behaved. It is easy to train them while they are young and helpless."

"What if something goes wrong?"

Yun Shuhuai paused and said coldly, "Then follow my rules."

Xi Qing smiled and said to Yun Shuhuai, "You are really ruthless. I feel that sometimes you are very kind and willing to help others, and sometimes you are very cruel and ruthless when killing people. It seems that if these two children betray you, you will not hesitate to do it."

"Hmph, everything I do is ultimately for myself. To put it bluntly, I only took you in because you are useful to me."

Xi Qing didn't get angry after hearing this. She said, "I have always understood this, but I have indeed passed your test. What do you think, I am not bad, am I?"

Yun Shuhuai also praised her generously, "Very satisfied."

The two beauties smiled at each other, and the atmosphere eased.

"But I took them in not only because I think they are easy to control, but more importantly, their abilities are pretty good. Xiaoxu was able to reach the third level at the age of ten, which is enough to prove his strength. Xiaowan has a special ability like me, and although it is useless now, I know that her ability has great potential, and she will definitely have new abilities after upgrading. She can't kill zombies now, but that may not be the case in the future."

In fact, Yun Shuhuai wanted Ye Ziwan the most. As a special ability, at a low level, because it only works on humans, not only can she not kill zombies, but her upgrade is also slow and she will be ignored. If there is a chance to upgrade, the abilities displayed by high-level special abilities will definitely not be worse than other abilities.

According to Yun Shuhuai's experience in his past and present lives, generally speaking, special abilities will only show their true effects when they are upgraded to the third level.

Although it is not difficult to upgrade to the third level, in previous lives, some people upgraded their special abilities to the second level, but found that they were useless and stopped upgrading, because other abilities become stronger and stronger after upgrading, while special ability users are basically useless after upgrading, and they still have no attack power against zombies like ordinary people, so no one will spend a lot of crystal cores to feed a waste.

In her previous life, although Yun Shuhuai was close to Lu Jingyu, it still took her more than two years to collect enough crystal cores to upgrade to the third level, because no one thought it was necessary to provide her with crystal cores before, and the crystal cores she used to upgrade were basically earned by working in the base.

If no one cared about Ye Ziwan, even if she went to the base, her role would not be taken seriously. I am afraid that someone would be afraid of her if they knew her ability, and in this chaotic apocalypse, she might be killed one day.

Xi Qing nodded in agreement at Yun Shuhuai's words. She had witnessed the power of Yun Shuhuai's superpowers. Although they were both at level six, Xi Qing knew that she could never beat her. Her energy shield could block all types of superpowers. As for close combat, Xi Qing had never won a single battle with Yun Shuhuai since she met her.

Yun Shuhuai stroked his chin again and said, "But then again, why did you bring up the hypothesis that they betrayed me? For example, you, would you betray me?"

Xi Qing answered without hesitation, "That's impossible. Following you means I can eat meat."

But there is more than just meat to eat. Yun Shuhuai has a space ability. Their food, clothing, housing and transportation are almost unaffected by the apocalypse. For Xi Qing, their living conditions even exceed those before the apocalypse, not to mention that Yun Shuhuai is very powerful. Her energy enhancement can allow the two of them to sweep all the zombies. They have collected a large number of crystal cores so far. The level of their abilities is much higher than others. Xi Qing has never seen an ability user with a higher level than them. Even Xi Ling, the five-element ability user who has a lot of followers, is not as high as them.

"So, the conditions for following me are so good, why would they betray me? Do they feel good to be short of food and clothing?"

Xi Qing nodded, "Indeed, I think if you reveal your special ability, there will definitely be a lot of people following you."

Yun Shuhuai looked at her and said, "Then all kinds of monsters will definitely come. If I reject some people, maybe they will want to kill me because of being rejected. In this case, no one will benefit. Okay, I will tell them both about this tomorrow, and I also ask you, who has been through this, to guide them."

"Understood."
