“Your Excellency, even if I were willing to send people over, they are waiting on the other side. Sending them over would just be adding to the meal.”
Zhao Shan's heart was bleeding.
They are all his descendants; he would feel the pain if even one of them were missing.
The old man raised his eyelids slightly. "What do you mean?"
Zhao Shan smiled ingratiatingly and said:
"How about we ask the elders to help the Zhao family members awaken their special abilities first? That way, it will be easier for us to serve the elders."
The proud members of the Zhao family couldn't stand their patriarch's servile attitude and couldn't help but ask themselves, could such a patriarch really shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing the family?
The old man glanced at Zhao Shan sideways. "He didn't even bring the person back, yet he dares to make demands. He really has some nerve."
But they also knew that if Zhao Shan didn't get a taste of success, he would definitely not be willing to send his men over there again.
He sighed inwardly. He had wasted his special ability to open the teleportation channel. Even if Zhao Shan was willing to send someone over, there wouldn't be enough time to bring them back.
It's just that the Ding family is plagued by internal strife and its members are dwindling; otherwise, why would it need to rely on the Zhao family's power? Oh well.
“I’m severely depleted and can’t do it now. How about a week from now? Send 10 members of the Zhao family to me, and I’ll awaken their special abilities for them. However, you should know that forcibly awakening special abilities usually doesn’t result in very high levels of ability, and their growth is also very limited.”
"Yes, yes, yes, I know, I know, I know."
Zhao Shan was overjoyed.
Even if their special abilities aren't strong, they're still special ability users, which is still better than ordinary people.

"Teleportation array?"
Before the apocalypse, Zuo Ling was a hardcore novel enthusiast who had read many fantasy and cultivation novels.
The beam of light engulfed people, much like a teleportation array in a fantasy novel.
“Hmm, very likely.” Pei Nansheng also thought of that.
Such methods are nothing short of heaven-defying. The two were astonished. They had thought that few could rival their supernatural abilities, but they suddenly realized that they had underestimated everyone. They broke out in a cold sweat.
If Xiao Hao hadn't accidentally killed the visitor, the consequences would have been unpredictable.
They waited until the pillar of light disappeared before heading back home.
Halfway there, they ran into Xiao Hao and A San, who had come down to look for them.
Xiao Hao was still worried because his older brother and sister had been gone for so long and hadn't returned. Although he thought that with their abilities, the chances of something happening to them were extremely small, Xiao Hao still felt uneasy. In addition, Ah San kept making a fuss, and Xiao Hao couldn't hold back any longer, so they came down to look for them together.
Ah San gestured and asked Zuo Ling where she had gone and why she had been gone for so long. He was very anxious and asked if she knew.
"Well, we're back now. Alright, let's go upstairs and talk about it there."
After getting ashore, Zuo Ling said to A-San:
"Tell your wolf brothers to keep watch here. If anyone comes up from below, whoever it is, kill him."
If you don't know what tactics the enemy will use, it's best to strike first.
Ah San only half understood, and it took him a long time to understand through gestures and words. He kept nodding to show that he understood and to reassure Zuo Ling.
Zuo Ling had a vague feeling that the Zhao family was after them, and that it was definitely related to the reclusive elder.
Among the eight reclusive families, the Zhao family was at the bottom, so it was only natural that they became the henchmen of the reclusive elders.
Since the reclusive elders know they are here, they certainly won't give up and will send people over.
Zuo Ling felt it was both a risk and an opportunity; they could use the teleportation array to return to their home country.
Pei Nansheng objected:
"No, we've never been inside a teleportation array before. What if we faint inside and lose consciousness? We'd be completely at their mercy."
There are definitely people guarding the other side. The situation is unclear, so it would be extremely unwise to rush in.
Zuo Ling also had this concern, but she didn't want to give up:
"Let the people on the cargo ship go first. We'll hide in the crowd. As long as we can get through safely, there shouldn't be any major problems."
They had been on the island for more than half a year, searching for a way out with Guo Qi, but without a single clue.
Although there was no shortage of food and drink on the island, there was something strange about it. The outside world was barren, but here it was lush and green. Something was definitely amiss.
Now that a glimmer of hope has appeared, Zuo Ling is naturally unwilling to give up, and neither of the siblings can convince the other.
Finally, they gathered the three Guo brothers, Yang Chengang, He Xiao, and Ning Qiang to discuss the matter together.
The superhuman used extraordinary means to create a teleportation array to leave the island. Doesn't that sound incredibly mysterious?
Zuo Ling's words were unclear, leaving Guo Qi and the other two confused, while Ning Qiang seemed to be deep in thought.
"Someone's coming? Where are they?"
"Dead."
"Dead? How did he die..."
Ning Qiang narrowed his eyes and understood:
"Sister Zuo, they're here to see you, right? Your enemies?"
As far as Ning Qiang knew, no one in the Ning family possessed such heaven-defying abilities. Those who had such abilities would not waste their special powers to open a teleportation channel for no reason, unless there were people or things on the island that they wanted.
"Yes, they are enemies."
Ning Qiang was too shrewd; deception was useless. Zuo Ling simply admitted it openly.
Which company is it?
"The Zhao family."
"The Zhao family? The Zhao family has always followed the Ding family around. You are members of the Ding family, so why are they targeting you? Aren't they afraid of the Ding family anymore?"
Zuo Ling's face darkened: "You talk too much."
If Ning Qiang knew that they had rebelled against the Ding family, who knows what he might do.
Ning Qiang chuckled twice:
"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Why are you getting angry?"
He Xiao smoothed things over:
"Let's talk about the teleportation array first. Is that teleportation array reliable?"
Ning Qiang rolled his eyes. There was a problem, a big problem. The Zhao family wouldn't attack Pei Nansheng and his sister for no reason. Why would they do this?
Is the Zhao family joining forces with other families to target the Ding family and seize their resources?
Yes, very likely.
