Chapter 217 We Set Off



Everyone woke up at 5 a.m., got up early to wash up and have breakfast.

Today's breakfast was quite plentiful, including steamed buns, dumplings, rice porridge, and fried pancakes.

“You all finish eating. Take all the food you received yesterday with you. I don’t know if the food will be enough to fill you up. You can take it out; no one will say anything.”

"Okay, you two take care at home. You don't need to go get food. There's no one to help you if anything happens, so just eat at home." Cheng Shaolin was very worried about Li Xiao before leaving, afraid that something might happen to her at home and he wouldn't be able to help her while he was away.

Li Xiao understood his worries and smiled gently, saying, "Don't worry, I don't want to go anywhere in the rain. Be careful out there."

Cheng Shaolin stroked Li Xiao's face, looking at her with reluctance, "Yes, I know. Be extra careful, especially with the people across the street. I haven't seen them much yet."

Li Xiao's eyes flickered, understanding Cheng Shaolin's meaning, and she nodded earnestly, "I understand, I will pay attention."

Cheng Shaolin then turned to Zheng Yongnian, who was standing behind Li Xiao, and said, "Take good care of her, and don't go out unless necessary. It's best if she doesn't get involved in anything outside."

Zheng Yongnian found it amusing; how worried was he? "Yes, yes, I know. You can go now."

The people waiting for him to leave chuckled to themselves; he had been far too blunt.

Cheng Shaolin ignored the few onlookers who seemed to enjoy the spectacle, and only let go after giving them a few more instructions.

Li Xiao was also helpless; what could she possibly worry about if she stayed at home?

Finally, he left amidst Cheng Shaolin's reluctant gaze.

Li Xiao closed the door, cutting off outside sight, and returned to the room.

The group of people on their mission arrived at the base entrance with their bags, thinking they were early. But they soon discovered that there were already more than 20 people standing there. There were clearly people even more eager than them.

Then another group arrived, and a burly man emerged from the crowd.

He walked up to Yu Yanbin and his team, stopped, shook hands with them, and introduced himself, "I am the team leader for this trip, the captain of the base's first superhuman squad. My name is Yan Bin."

Everyone stepped forward to shake his hand, then stood aside, leaving Captain Yu Yanbin to negotiate.

"Hello, I am Yu Yanbin, the captain of the Chaoyang Superpower Team. Hello."

"Hello, this is your first time participating in this kind of mission. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me." Yu Yanbin smiled in response, "Okay, Captain Yan."

"Hmm." Yan Bin said this and then left.

"He seems like a serious person." Tian Tian stood to the side, watching the burly man turn and leave.

"Well, being the captain of the First Ability User Squad isn't something just anyone can do. Besides having outstanding abilities, you also need certain management and coordination skills. I'm not talking about managing subordinates, but about coordinating with superiors," Yu Yanbin said slowly, watching the departing people.

"Oh, I understand. I also need to communicate with my superiors."

"It's also possible that the higher-ups have a particular fondness for it," Yu Yanbin added meaningfully.

No one cared who was the captain; they just stood aside and waited for the team to arrive.

Before long, groups of people arrived one after another. They greeted Yan Bin and then stood to one side, looking quite familiar with each other.

It seems that Yan Bin knew they were newcomers and came over specifically to say hello.

At less than 10 minutes to 6 o'clock, three buses and five large trucks drove out of the base.

Once everyone had arrived, Yan Bin invited them to get on the bus. Because there weren't enough seats on the bus, Yan Bin's group stayed until the very end and boarded a large truck behind it.

Besides the First Battalion, the Third Battalion also came from the base. Their captain was named Lu Mingzhou. He looked quite refined and aloof, but he was actually a deadly weapon with lightning-type superpowers.

He also had his team board the large truck behind, leaving seats for ordinary people.

Yu Yanbin was surprised that these soldiers were so conscientious, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. Although the smile was slight, it was still noticed by Cheng Shaolin, who was standing nearby.

He sat next to Yu Yanbin by the window, and usually no one would notice if he spoke softly.

"What, you mean, you have something on your mind?"

Yu Yanbin's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even raise his head. "What thoughts could I possibly have? I just feel pretty good."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so sentimental."

"roll."

"hehe."

Yu Yanbin glanced at him sideways. This bastard only started showing his true colors after leaving Li Xiao.

The couple was sitting together, one in front of the other. The man let the woman sit inside, while they stood on the outside, blocking the view.

Didn't you see the men in those cars looking at the smell of meat? They hadn't eaten meat for days, and their eyes were drooling with desire at the sight of it?

Ignoring the subtle glances from those people, Tian Tian and Qiu Fengyu sat by the window one after the other, oblivious to what was happening around them.

Shao Jie was alone, sitting at the back with a fire-type ability user named Jiang Zhaoyuan. He was a member of the Ice Blue Squad, whose captain was an ice-type ability user who was quite strong and handsome.

Shao Jie used his expertise to communicate with people suffering from "bragging syndrome," and he was always successful.

Within just two hours of the car ride, Shao Jie and this man almost became sworn brothers, and Shao Jie learned almost everything he wanted to know and things he didn't know before.

The other team leader was actually sitting on the other side of the aisle, watching the two of them whispering to each other the whole way, and he was speechless.

I overheard their conversation, which was about things everyone already knew; there was nothing they couldn't say.

It's quite admirable to see your own teammates' mental capacity completely drained like that.

Unexpectedly, this capable person has unknowingly gathered all the information, while his idiot family member still hasn't noticed the problem. It's simply unbearable to watch.

Xu Ze tilted his head and looked at Shao Jie sitting by the aisle, his eyebrows involuntarily rising slightly. He then turned his gaze to the front of Shao Jie, and this time, even the corners of his mouth began to curl up.

Ha, they're all smart people.

Seeing that what they were talking about wasn't anything confidential, Xu Zehui stopped paying attention, looked away, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

Shao Jie had already noticed that someone was watching him and knew it was the team leader, so he was still a little nervous.

He was trying to get information from the other team's players right in front of their captain. I wonder if the other team would be unhappy about it.

Unexpectedly, the captain just stared at it for a long time without saying anything to stop it, and then went to sleep.

Shao Jie finally relaxed, seemingly not taking it to heart after all that time.

Seeing that the team leader didn't seem to mind, he continued chatting with the man to pass the time.

The journey is a bit long, and sitting there won't get us anywhere anyway, so it's better to chat and talk.
