Zheng Lan snapped out of her daze and quickly let go.
"Sorry, I was a little surprised. I hope I didn't hurt you."
"It's nothing. Your strength doesn't seem like that of a level two ability user. Did you get poisoned by that green zombie?"
"You encountered it too?!"
"I've already dealt with them; they won't threaten you anymore."
Then, he gestured for Brother Jie to step forward and address the crowd:
"I'm here to expel the toxins from your bodies. Please don't resist."
Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of the six girls in front of him, Brother Jie felt a little smug.
He concentrated his supernatural power and spread it out of his body, absorbing the poisonous energy from the six girls into his own body.
The girl who was absorbed felt a wave of relief wash over her as the power she had lost returned to her body.
He thanked Brother Jie repeatedly, waved his hand, and Brother Jie returned to Huang Zhao's back.
Seeing that Zheng Lan and the others had recovered, Huang Zhao didn't want to spend any more time talking and went straight to the point:
"I built a shelter in the park and am now searching for survivors in the vicinity to join me."
The purpose of my visit is to ask you whether you would be willing to join me in seeking refuge.
Feeling somewhat tempted, Zheng Lan hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Ning Chuxia.
Seeing Ning Chuxia shake her head slightly, she said to Huang Zhao:
"I need to discuss this with my companions."
We've gathered over a hundred survivors in the last few days, and I'm not sure if others will be willing to join.
"It's alright, I lured away most of the zombies around here last night."
You can discuss it yourselves, but please reply as soon as possible, as we still need to go to other places to rescue survivors.
Every minute that passes by could mean the loss of a survivor who doesn't make it to our rescue.
This was not surprising; through mental perception, survivors occasionally peeked out from the apartment buildings on both sides, looking down.
There were girls on the left and more than twenty men on the right.
Many survivors were simply huddling together for warmth, and Zheng Lan couldn't represent everyone in agreeing to let Huang Zhao join the shelter.
Zheng Lan turned around and spoke with the other girls, getting the survivors from both apartment buildings to gather outside.
At this moment, Ning Chuxia stepped forward and said to Huang Zhao with some wariness:
"Thank you for saving us again. My name is Ning Chuxia."
What superpower have you awakened?
"Little sister, it's very impolite to ask someone about their superpowers directly after the apocalypse."
Intending to tease his junior sister whom he hadn't seen for many years, Huang Zhao said somewhat seriously.
"Ah... I'm sorry... I was just a little curious..."
If it's inconvenient to say, then forget it.
In fact, Brother Jie and the others were also very curious about what Huang Zhao's special ability was.
Apart from Qin Yi, no one present knew that Chen Run had awakened a space-type ability.
In the post-apocalyptic world, hiding one's superpowers has become the norm.
Unless it is someone you know well or a famous and powerful person whose information has been collected, strangers do not know each other's special abilities.
Mutual respect can reduce the likelihood of conflict.
Looking at Ning Chuxia's somewhat embarrassed expression with satisfaction, Huang Zhao said:
"You're wondering why you feel like you're being watched, right? That's definitely my special ability."
I can probe information within a certain range, but this probe might be detected.
As for the specifics of the ability, the range of its detection, and the information it uncovers, nothing was said.
Ning Chuxia's doubts had been answered. She thanked Huang Zhao and returned to Zheng Lan and the others.
At Zheng Lan's call, the survivors in the apartment all came out.
The student body is predominantly female, with 87 female students and 27 male students, including several older faculty members.
More than a hundred people chattered around Huang Zhao and his group, some of them curious about Huang Zhao and Qin Yi, who were wearing armor in the crowd.
"Dear students, this is Mr. Chen Run, who saved me on the second day of the apocalypse."
The green zombie we encountered this morning has already been dealt with by them.
Hearing this, the other survivors developed some goodwill towards Huang Zhao and the others.
After all, those who would lend a helping hand to other survivors in a post-apocalyptic world are unlikely to be bad people.
Zheng Lan continued speaking:
"Mr. Chen built a shelter in the park opposite the school. The purpose of this visit is to search for survivors and bring them here."
Whether you wish to join the shelter is your own decision.
As soon as he finished speaking, many of the survivors around him looked at Huang Zhao, who was wearing armor, clearly thinking about the park being closed.
A man who looked to be nearly fifty years old asked somewhat urgently:
"I am Xun Dongxi, the Dean of Student Affairs at East China University of Political Science and Law."
Can your shelter guarantee the safety of the students?
Is there enough food for over a hundred of us?
What are the requirements for joining your shelter?
Surely you're not just kind-hearted and came to save us out of kindness?
Huang Zhao turned to look at the man who had asked the question.
He was in his forties, wore glasses, was balding, and had a very dignified appearance.
A teacher who makes a bad student less likely to resist is like a bad student who has done something wrong.
Sensing the subtle hostility from the head of student affairs, Huang Zhao ignored him and gestured to Brother Jie behind him to answer the question.
Having already done his homework, Brother Jie walked to the center of the crowd and spoke to Director Xun:
"The shelter was built by President Chen at a cost of hundreds of billions before his death."
With thick city walls, it's absolutely safe. Once you join, you won't need to worry about your safety anymore.
Our shelter is actually a city. General Manager Chen named it Dawn City, meaning a city of hope after the apocalypse.
We have stored enough food to last us for a long time.
We are all survivors whom General Chen rescued from other places after the apocalypse.
Teams have also been dispatched from several other directions around Dawn City to rescue other survivors.
Seeing the balding man's expression turn somewhat unpleasant, Brother Jie seemed to have guessed something.
In the post-apocalyptic world where social order has collapsed, the head of the school's academic affairs department holds the highest position and prestige among the many student survivors.
Given time, he might achieve the highest position among the crowd.
He glanced at the beautiful women around him, and besides, it was still unknown whether they only wanted to be the leader.
Seeing through Director Xun's thoughts, Brother Jie said something meaningful:
"In addition... the water and electricity supply in Dawn City is normal!"
They even used their phones to connect to Dawn City's intranet and access various pre-apocalyptic learning materials stored in Dawn City's AI system.
Having experienced three or four days of the apocalypse without water, electricity, or entertainment, Brother Jie naturally knew what would attract survivors most at this time.
Not to mention that most of the people present were young people, and the water and electricity were cut off, forcing them to quit the internet.
This feeling has already made some students want to buy Zisha teapots.
