Chapter 74 Survival Squad
"Tu Hao, get to work," Miao Yin lazily commanded.
These two mutants were clearly not yet evolved crystal cores and were at the lowest level. Miao Yin was too lazy to fight them, so she decided to let Tu Hao practice on them, since his abilities needed to be developed through practice.
Tu Hao: "..."
Ugh, this is so annoying. It feels like I'm being ordered around. Before, people would come to me with loads of cash begging me to do their jobs.
However, since she said that, she definitely won't make a move. If he doesn't retaliate, he'll be the one who dies.
Tu Hao, feeling annoyed, activated his superpower and fought the two mutants. Because he was in a bad mood, he hit them particularly hard, leaving the mutants without even a complete corpse.
Miao Yin walked around to the side and went to the male corpse.
The man had only been dead for a short time, and he had already been eaten almost completely. There were charred marks on the wall beside him from being struck by lightning.
This was one of the people in Ji Yuanzhou's team. Because he was a step too slow, he was left behind forever.
The remaining people shouldn't be far off either.
If I remember correctly, they should all be hiding in a warehouse right now.
Miao Yin waved to the back, calling Tu Hao up, then found the stairs and went down to the second basement level.
Along the way, they encountered several more mutants, all of whom were dealt with by Tu Hao.
About ten minutes later, following several black trails, Miao Yin found the warehouse.
Tu Hao watched her stop in front of the door, and then, recalling her highly purposeful movements, he immediately understood.
"Are those the group that just ran in here?"
Miao Yin remained noncommittal.
Tu Hao had a vague suspicion in his mind, but he couldn't confirm it yet.
The lock on the warehouse door was broken, and it was held open by the contents inside. Tu Hao opened the door with ease.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw seven people looking at him nervously and fearfully in the dimly lit room, holding kitchen knives and sticks in their hands.
Upon seeing that it was a human, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
A man said, "Come in quickly and close the door!"
Miao Yin went inside, observed the people, and sighed, "I didn't expect to see so many survivors besides us. This is wonderful."
Tu Hao closed the door, pushed back the feed bags blocking the door, and then stood beside her.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
A younger girl sat down on the ground, slightly out of breath: "That really scared me. Did you guys run in from outside too?"
"Yes, a lot of mutants suddenly came in from outside, so we came in to take refuge. I didn't expect it to be so dangerous in here. It was really scary." Miao Yin patted her chest, just like her.
Tu Hao: "..."
He silently gazed at the sky from behind.
"Ahem." The young girl coughed a little embarrassedly upon hearing this.
The sudden influx of deformed people outside—weren't they the ones who attracted this? Who would have thought they'd cause trouble for others?
“Since we are both survivors who escaped here, let’s get to know each other. My name is Wang Sinian,” said a man who looked rather refined.
Then, he introduced the people next to him: "This person wearing the necklace is He Mengyun, the person next to her is her husband Li Feng, and the girl who just spoke is He Mengyun's cousin, Zhang Zhenzhen."
The couple nodded to them.
"My name is Lu Shang, and I used to be a pianist," a man in white said elegantly, gesturing to himself.
Next came a young man with dyed red hair and a rebellious look: "My name is Hu Qing."
finally--
"My name is Ji Yuanzhou, and I used to be a teacher." The scholarly-looking man leaned against a shelf, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and spoke gently to them.
"Did you form a team?" Miao Yin asked.
“Yes, we’re all neighbors in the same building, and we figured there’s strength in numbers, so we formed a survival team together,” Wang Sinian said, his eyes fixed on Miao Yin.
"Hey beautiful, are you two a couple?"
"Are you blind?" Tu Hao said coldly.
Wang Sinian was taken aback, then waved his hand and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood because you all came in together."
"It's okay, let's get to know each other. His name is Tu Hao, and mine is Miao Yin. We met on the road and teamed up, just like you guys."
“Since that’s the case, how about we work together? Look, we’re all trapped here now, and there are so many mutants outside. There’s strength in numbers. We can help each other and escape together, what do you say?” Wang Sinian suggested, then winked at Miao Yin.
Miao Yin leaned back slightly.
"...That's possible, but I don't plan to go out today. It's getting dark outside, and there are more and more mutants. I plan to take action tomorrow."
“Of course, that’s what we think too.” He pointed to the rooms at the back.
“We checked this warehouse before we arrived. It’s safe. There are no mutants. There are two small rooms inside, which are for storing feed, and there’s also staff quarters with a bed and a toilet. We can sleep here tonight. However, we’ve already assigned all the rooms before you arrived, so would it be alright if you slept outside tonight?”
"Okay. Is someone on watch?"
“Li Feng and I will take over the shift at 2 o’clock, then Hu Qing and Lu Shang will take over, and then the two girls and Wang Sinian will take over,” Ji Yuanzhou said.
"That's good……"
The conversation ended, and the room fell silent, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere.
“…How about we go in first?” Wang Sinian suggested.
"Okay, I'm exhausted." Zhang Zhenzhen also got up.
"Thank you for keeping watch." Lu Shang straightened his clothes and said to Ji Yuanzhou and Li Feng.
So the group of them went into the small room at the back.
Miao Yin observed the surroundings.
This warehouse is quite large. From here, you can't even see the small rooms inside that are hidden by shelves. The person on night watch must be staying not far from the door, so they can't see what's going on inside.
"Then we'll go and rest too."
Miao Yin then pulled Tu Hao to the back of the warehouse, took down a few bags of feed, and made sure they could see the scene in both directions after they sat down.
Then I moved the surrounding shelves slightly, making them all crooked, so that this area formed a partially closed triangle.
In brightly lit conditions, such a situation would certainly attract attention.
However, because the lights here have been on all the time, several of them have already gone off, making the warehouse quite dim. This visual effect makes Miao Yin's location more concealed.
"What kind of trouble are you up to?" Tu Hao asked, leaning against the wall.
Miao Yin took out a large cushion from her spatial storage, sat down comfortably, and said, "This is now a perfect spot for a view."
"What are you admiring? Are Zhang Zhenzhen and Lu Shang exchanging glances?" Tu Hao asked.
Whether before or after the apocalypse, a mercenary must always be sensitive to the outside world. Although he hadn't said much just now, it didn't mean he was daydreaming. He had taken in all the actions of the other side and turned them into information.
Zhang Zhenzhen kept secretly looking at Lu Shang, her eyes filled with undisguised excitement.
This is normal, though; elegant pianists are indeed popular with girls, and Lu Shang is not bad-looking either.
Meanwhile, Lu Shang was also responding to Zhang Zhenzhen, seemingly with some intentions as well. The two might just become a couple.
Miao Yin smiled and said, "I didn't originally intend to watch this, but now I'm really curious."
As far as she knew, both Zhang Zhenzhen and Lu Shang had confessed their feelings to Ji Yuanzhou.
