As soon as Master Zhuo finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but show expressions of amazement. Although they had heard yesterday that a level 6 expert had arrived at the base, hearing about it was one thing, but hearing it officially from Master Zhuo's mouth was another.
An elderly man, around fifty years old, sitting to the left of Master Zhuo, said, "Young lady, you are so young, your future is limitless!"
"This is Mr. Qin, one of the founders of our base. You can just call him Old Qin," Master Zhuo introduced to Chi Xia. "He is also the captain of our team one."
Mr. Chi Xia Zhaowen nodded: "Hello, Mr. Qin."
Old Qin nodded to her as well: "Chi girl, you're too kind. Now that we're at the base, we're all family. With a strong general like you, our base will definitely get better and better."
"I have no objection to Miss Chi joining us."
A man with a small braid at the table suddenly spoke up: "But I'd like to ask, who is the person next to Miss Chi?"
Hearing this, Master Zhuo looked somewhat troubled: "This..."
“I’m nobody.” Zhang Xin tossed her long, wavy hair aside and looked at the man with the braid, saying, “I’m just a family member.”
"Family members?" The man with the ponytail sneered. "If my information is correct, your only family member has already been thrown into the zombie horde by your own hands, hasn't he?"
These words immediately caused a stir.
Old Master Qin frowned and looked at Fourth Master Zhuo, asking, "What's going on?"
Master Zhuo's expression immediately became even more troubled: "This... let Chi girl talk to everyone."
All eyes immediately fell on Chi Xia.
Zhang Xin also looked at Chi Xia, curious about how Chi Xia would explain her situation to them.
Chi Xia glanced at everyone present, finally fixing her gaze on the man with the ponytail who had spoken, and asked, "What is your name, sir?"
The man with the pigtail looked at her and replied, "My name is Liu Qing, and I am the captain of the third team."
"Captain Liu," Chi Xia looked at him, "I'd like to ask Captain Liu, is there a rule at Pingyun Base that allows superhumans to bring one family member when they come to join them?"
Liu Qing nodded: "There is indeed such a rule, but..."
"But Pingyun Base doesn't have any rules about what kind of people the family members have to be, right?" Chi Xia interrupted him, asking, "Then what's wrong with me bringing her along?"
"How can there be no problem!" Liu Qing was clearly enraged by her words, slamming his hand on the table and standing up: "Do you know how many people she has killed along the way?! She is a fourth-level psychic. You may not be afraid because you are of a higher level, but the highest level among us here is only fourth-level. You brought her into the base, which means you don't value our lives!"
These words immediately drew many echoes.
Even Old Master Qin looked at Fourth Master Zhuo and said, "Fourth Master, you didn't think this through."
Upon hearing this, Master Zhuo clapped his hands and said, "Quiet down, everyone! Let me finish what I have to say."
When Master Zhuo spoke, the excited crowd immediately quieted down.
Master Zhuo looked at everyone and said, "Before Zhang Xin entered the base, she solemnly promised me that she would never use her superpowers on the people in the base, and she would never do what she did before."
"How can you believe what this kind of person says?"
The only woman at the conference table, dressed in red, glanced at Zhang Xin with disdain through her small eyes and said, "Besides, just because of a flimsy promise from her, we're going to entrust our lives to her? If something really happens, who will take responsibility?!"
"I'll take responsibility."
The room fell silent the moment Chi Xia said those words.
Thinking they hadn't heard her clearly, Chi Xia repeated, "My people, I'll take responsibility for them."
