"Dude, you guys know each other?"
Zhao Hui subtly sized up the survivor. The man was tall and muscular, clearly not an ordinary survivor. Looking behind him, he saw several people who had been watching them quickly shift their gazes, indicating that this man was also part of an organization like them.
He narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't know what Lin Ruo meant. With her intelligence, it shouldn't be hard for her to imagine what kind of misunderstandings would result from greeting them in front of so many people. But she still did it. Did that mean she was deliberately trying to support them?
Li Wei also had this idea, but since they were not very strong, they had to keep a low profile and simply replied, "We only knew each other before the apocalypse, so we can't be considered familiar with each other."
After hearing this, the survivor's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "We're already lucky to know someone like Sister Ruo. May I ask your name, brother? My name is Wang Xiao, and I'm a member of the Fox Hunt Survivor Team."
As he spoke, he reached out his hand to Li Wei. He seemed harmless, but Li Wei was secretly on guard. The Fox Hunting Team was one of the top three non-superpowered teams. Was their enthusiasm for them really just because they knew Lin Ruo?
Li Wei extended his hand to shake hands with Wang Xiao, "Li Wei, our team doesn't have a name yet."
"With someone as decisive as Brother Li, your team will only become more and more famous in the future." Wang Xiao laughed and patted Li Wei on the shoulder, chatting with them.
When people around heard Li Wei's explanation, some of the more superficial ones believed it and left immediately, while others were more insightful. They didn't think that just because they knew each other, Lin Ruo would greet them in public; they believed that she was simply trying to keep a low profile.
Seeing how enthusiastic Wang Xiao from the Fox Hunt team was towards them, they naturally wanted to join in as well. After all, it was a rare opportunity to see someone connected to Lin Ruo, so they definitely wanted to get to know them.
In no time, Li Wei and his team were surrounded by a large group of people chatting animatedly. However, this only served to keep alarm bells ringing in the minds of Li Wei and Zhao Hui, but they couldn't just turn around and leave; they didn't have the strength or resources to do so.
By the end, Wang Xiao had become friends with Zhao Hui in a very familiar way. He lowered his voice and said to Zhao Hui, "Don't say that I didn't think of you guys when I had good things to do. Our captain and the captain of the third superpower team are cousins. The superpower team is planning to hunt down the mutated beasts in the surrounding area. Our team will definitely participate. We'll take you guys with us. As long as we can pick up a few high-level crystal cores, it will be enough to eat for a long time."
Zhao Hui's eyes lit up, and he quickly agreed.
But after Wang Xiao left, Zhao Hui and Li Wei's excited expressions turned somber. What was the other party after being so enthusiastic? It made them feel uneasy.
Lin Ruo's simple action significantly changed Li Wei and the others' situation in the subsequent apocalypse.
By the time all the surviving fleets from City B arrived, it was already dark. In the end, eight warships failed to arrive, and all the people on board perished at sea.
Ye Lin, Chen Yu, Jiang Yue, and other high-ranking members of the base had all arrived by fighter jet, so they were the first to arrive. When Lin Ruo arrived, they were all busy and didn't notice her.
Soon, the B City base found a temporary campsite. Li Wei and his team had just been assigned tents. Thanks to the Fox Hunting Squad's care, their assigned location was on the outer edge of the superpowered team's area, which was considered a very safe spot.
They had just set up the tent when they saw Zheng Yanfei rushing over, followed by Su Buqing with a helpless expression.
Li Wei let Qian Li take Dou Dou into the tent first, then turned to Zheng Yanfei and Su Buqing, "Captain Su, Captain Zheng, is there anything I can help you with?"
Zheng Yanfei spoke frankly, a subtle smile playing at the corners of her eyes, "I heard you saw Sister Ruo today. How is she? Is she injured?"
Knowing that Lin Ruo had rejected Jiang Yue's proposal and planned to stay in City B alone to face the lava, she was very anxious. However, considering Lin Ruo's strength, she refrained from contacting her. It was Lin Ruo's own decision, and she didn't want to cause her any trouble.
Now that she knew she had safely arrived in the western plateau region, she was really happy, but she couldn't easily believe what those people outside said, so she decided to come and ask Li Wei and the others.
Zhao Hui frowned at first, then his eyes flickered. Considering that these two were both captains of the official superpower team, he paused for a moment before replying, "Sister Ruo is fine, she is not injured."
Su Buqing saw Zhao Hui's expression and knew what his concerns were. "You don't need to worry. We've already heard from others outside about Sister Ruo awakening her spatial abilities."
Li Wei and Zhao Hui exchanged a glance but didn't say anything more. They didn't want to discuss Lin Ruo's matter further, and they certainly didn't want such news to come from their mouths.
Zheng Yanfei understood the expressions on their faces, and her opinion of them improved even more. In addition, she had previously sent a message to Lin Ruo through Zhao Hui, who had helped her in some way. She spoke softly, "Our base will soon find a location to rebuild, and a team of superpowered individuals will be sent out to clear out mutated beasts and plants. You don't need to worry too much. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me directly."
After saying that, she turned and left with Su Buqing.
Li Wei frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on Zheng Yanfei and the others' backs. He couldn't figure out what their purpose was. He didn't believe they couldn't keep track of how distant Lin Ruo's relationship with them was, or did these people know something?
Zhao Hui shared the same thought. He knew what these people's kindness was all for, and now that it was just the two of them, his expression changed.
“Someone had previously sent information to Sister Ruo through us. This time, Sister Ruo openly showed that she has a relationship with us. I’m afraid that more people will approach us because of this. We must be more careful in the future and never be used. We must not let Sister Ruo be hurt because of us.”
"Yes." Li Wei nodded. They must be more cautious in their actions from now on.
