Ma Yuanbai stepped forward and put all the flammable materials into the dilapidated van, then handed the lighter to Li Yu and waved to the back.
Three slightly thin refugees from the group behind them immediately came over. All three of them were recently awakened fire-type ability users.
However, in this continuous downpour, their special abilities and strength were practically useless.
Although the abilities of these few first-tier awakened individuals were very limited, it was relatively easy for them to use their special abilities to intensify the fire.
Li Yu, who was standing nearby, stepped forward with a lighter and offered words of encouragement:
"Lin Han, don't worry, we will find the red attacker for you and avenge Uncle Lin."
After listening to Li Yu's words, Lin Han nodded silently.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Han took the lighter from Li Yu, walked to the front of the van, and personally lit the flammable materials inside.
A tiny flame suddenly shot up, and the three fire-element awakened individuals did not hesitate to immediately activate their abilities to fuel the fire.
In an instant, the originally weak flames suddenly rose up.
The fire raged fiercely, and dense raindrops pattered down on it.
Fueled by fire-based superpowers, the flames, braving the heavy rain, quickly engulfed the entire van.
Ma Yuanbai waved his hand lightly, and the three of them began to unleash their supernatural abilities with all their might, causing the fire to grow larger and larger.
In no time, the van was completely engulfed in flames, gradually turning into a charred metal frame and ashes scattered all over the ground.
Lin Han watched his uncle disappear into the fire along with the van, remaining silent.
Ma Yuanbai stepped forward at the opportune moment and offered some advice:
"Brother Lin Han, it's too dangerous for you to stay here alone."
"In my opinion, it would be better if you came with us, so that at least you can look out for each other."
But Lin Han slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion as he responded:
"Where...where can I go?"
"I'm not good at anything, I'm clumsy, and my superpowers can't save anyone. I'll only be a burden to you guys."
Li Yu, who was standing to the side, suddenly interrupted:
Who said you can't do anything?
"On the contrary, our team needs your kind of superpower, and no one will look down on you."
Seeing Li Yu extend the invitation as if coaxing a child, Ma Yuanbai, though unaware of Lin Han's special abilities, immediately stepped forward to cooperate with Li Yu, echoing her words:
"That's right. We are all refugees who have supported each other all the way. We would never look down on anyone."
Encouraged by the two men, Lin Han glanced at the wreckage of the van one last time, wiped away his tears, gritted his teeth, and nodded, saying:
"Okay... alright, in that case, I'll go with you."
As if he had made up his mind, Lin Han turned around and walked towards Li Yu's group.
Seeing this, Li Yu and Ma Yuanbai exchanged a smile:
"That's right!"
Ma Yuanbai took the initiative to greet Lin Han and shake his hand:
"Welcome to the team, Lin Han. From now on, we're on the same side."
Feeling the warmth and strength emanating from the other person's palm, Lin Han nodded slightly in response.
The crowd behind him immediately stepped forward to welcome him.
"Welcome, Lin Han."
"Welcome to the group." Some migrants stepped forward to greet them.
"Mmm...mmm." Lin Han nodded in response, looking flattered.
Soon, everyone noticed that Lin Han was different.
Although Lin Han is big and fat, he is as innocent and simple as a child, and he looks simple and honest.
When everyone learned about Lin Han's defect, instead of discriminating against him, they took even better care of him.
With Lin Han joining them, the group set off again and continued westward.
After traveling smoothly for a whole day, a small town came into view in the distance.
Lin Han stared blankly at the small town, his eyes revealing an unconcealable sorrow. He spoke softly to Li Yu and the others:
“That’s Bada Town, the place Uncle Lin was talking about.”
Li Yu looked towards the town; he also wanted to know what life was like for people outside the cities of Zhongzhou.
"Let's go, since we're already here, let's go in and take a look."
Li Yu waved his hand and led the team toward Bada Town.
As they drew closer, the town's overall appearance gradually became clearer.
Upon arriving at the front of the town, everyone looked up.
A tall and ancient archway stands at the entrance of the town, with two powerful characters inscribed on it: "Looking at the Clouds Beyond the Great Wall".
When Li Yu led his team into Bada Town, the once peaceful town instantly became bustling with activity.
The townspeople were drawn by the unusual commotion and curiously peered at the unfamiliar faces from outside, as they hadn't seen anyone from the outside world in their town for a long time.
Soon, the town's guards arrived after hearing the news. They looked nervous and scrutinized Li Yu's unfamiliar group.
However, when they saw the Central Plains green flag on Li Yu and his group's clothes, their initial panic immediately subsided.
The wariness in their eyes had mostly disappeared, replaced by curiosity.
Other residents who heard the news also rushed over from all directions, surrounding Li Yu and the others as if they were watching a spectacle, whispering and pointing.
The captain of the guard stepped forward, politely bowed slightly to Li Yu, and then spoke courteously:
"Sir, please show us your identification so we can verify your identity and that of your team."
Li Yu took out his ID card and handed it over. After the captain took the ID card and carefully examined it, his expression changed immediately, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
He hurriedly returned the ID card to Li Yu, then turned around and hastily assigned a team member.
After receiving the order, the team member ran towards the town in a panic, seemingly to report some important situation to his superiors.
Meanwhile, the surrounding residents, increasingly curious, crowded around, making the already narrow road completely impassable.
Moreover, more and more residents came out from afar after hearing the news and joined the crowd of onlookers.
At this moment, everyone around was staring intently at Li Yu.
With so many people watching, Li Yu felt like she had become the center of attention.
It gave him the illusion that the entire town had turned out just to see what these outsiders looked like.
As more and more people gathered to watch, Li Yu and his group could hardly move an inch.
Even Ma Yuanbai and the others around Li Yu gradually realized that something seemed amiss.
"What exactly is going on?"
