Base L was not very large and only half a dozen teams were selected each day to go out. They were currently counting the number of people and doing their final weapon and equipment inspection.

Jiang Congyun was in poor health and did not participate but Jing Xiubai and Yu Xiang naturally joined the surviving soldiers and followed everyone to the outside. While the heroine couldn't go out, she would accompany them every day to the edge of the city wall and watch them leave.

"Is the ammunition full?" She asked with worry.

"Don't worry." Yu Xiang answered.

Jiang Congyun sighed softly: "If only we had the space..."

When her voice fell, several gasps sounded and Xiao Li looked straight at the door with bright eyes. Chi Xin strode in, ignoring all the various gazes, and walked to Cao Yan: "I want to join a team."

She talked as she took things for granted but of course, no one doubted her ability. Cao Yan was at first surprised then happily replied: "Great! Xiubai's team is going to the former armory in L City today. There are many zombies that used to be soldiers, if you join them it should go smoother!"

There was actually... such a coincidence? Chi Xin and Jing Xiubai looked at each other and the hero nodded. Chi Xin felt a little bit embarrassed, she had not expected to encounter such a difficult mission the first time she took the initiative to leave the base. But it wasn't like she could change her mind and she calmly agreed.

This team's task today was very dangerous and the members were all strong men and as soon as Chi Xin stood with them, it suddenly looked like all the stars cupped themselves around the moon and the whole picture changed. Yu Xiang whistled: "I gotta say, I feel more at ease now that you're here."

Chi Xin didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Suddenly, Xiao Li uttered an objection: "Wait!"

Even though he was only a few steps away, he trotted over for fear of delaying the departure. He looked at Chi Xin nervously and said to Cao Yan: "I would like to apply for a change of team and join Jing Xiubai's."

His eyes were glued to Chi Xin; everybody knew it was her team he wanted to join. Everyone could read his heart and despite the tension before going out, there was a little uproar. Xiao Li blushed but kept staring at Chi Xin, as if Cao Yan's consent didn't matter. As soon as she gave her approval, he would immediately change teams.

Cao Yan was embarrassed: "This..."

Chi Xin said: "As one of the main combat forces, it's better to not team up with me." She looked at the big boy who was instantly disappointed and showed a little smile, "Besides, you are used to working with your teammates, aren't you?"

Xiao Li was very reluctant but as the goddess had spoken, he couldn't refute it.

"It takes time to add a new member to a team." Jing Xiubai pushed his glasses and the reflection of the light on the lenses hid his eyes, "You can join for the next easier mission."

This was true but no one had expected Jing Xiubai would actually speak to Chi Xin. Jiang Congyun glanced at him, a little disturbed and Xiao Li had to agree.

Seeing that Chi Xin had joined the hero's team, the most excited was the system. At this moment, it was going crazy in Chi Xin's head: [The male lead and the second male lead are here. Host, your great opportunity has come!]

Chi Xin wilted: "Got it."

If she had a choice, she really wanted to turn around and leave now. But if she didn't go out today nor tomorrow, would she ever get the courage to face it later? Chi Xin picked out the already familiar Desert Eagle among the weapons and loaded the bullets in a daze. A few minutes later, five SUVs left Base L.

There were a total of six people in the team led by Jing Xiubai and according to him, it was better to have fewer people but be sure about everyone's skills. In addition to the two protagonists and Chi Xin, the three other men were not easy to provoke at first glance.

Chen Xing was a bearded middle-aged man. He had strong muscles, his arms thicker than Chi Xin's thighs, and had been a security guard before the end of the world. He basically was the heavy DPS of the team and his smile was very large.

The second man had a baby face and was named Yu Pengcheng. He looked a little shy and carried a medicine box; he was the on-site doctor.

The last man was younger and called Rong Feng. His rare long hair was tied up and after glancing once at Chi Xin when she had joined the team, he had spent the rest of the journey looking out the window, revealing a handsome profile. Yu Xiang told her he was the sniper of the team and a former intelligence officer; his pair of eyes was as sharp as a falcon and before Chi Xin's display, he had been the most accurate shot of the base.

Chi Xin couldn't help but glance at him twice and when he noticed her gaze, Rong Feng turned around and said: "You are very strong."

Chi Xin humbly shook her head: "So are you."

Rong Feng smiled slightly and looked out the window again.

After getting to know the people in the team, Chi Xin sat in the passenger seat and turned around to look at Yu Xiang who kept blathering with a subtle expression.

"I know Jing Xiubai is all-powerful and technically a soldier, but what about you?"

As she mentioned Jing Xiubai's omnipotence, she didn't pay attention to the hero who was driving but he glanced at her with squinted eyes and the hint of a smile.

Chi Xin's question made Yu Xiang aggravated: "Hey, don't step on me just for the sake of playing Xiubai, okay? I'm very strong!"

Chi Xin was satisfied when she heard the system prompt [+0.1 trouble value] and sat back comfortably in her seat, ignoring Yu Xiang's constant chatter about his abilities behind her. She had watched the movie and she was aware he was not useless.

Yu Xiang looked carefree but was actually the opposite. No matter how big the mess the team could get in, he could clean it up and he was the perfect partner for Jing Xiubai. Moreover, due to his status and family background, his force value was very high.

"You're too much!" The second male lead was still indignant in the back and the two people's bickering aroused the serious atmosphere in the car. The baby-faced Yu Pengcheng scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I thought Sister Chi was difficult to get along with but you are actually so kind."

Chi Xin wasn't sure if the difficulty he was talking about was because of the behavior of the original body or because she had killed a high-level zombie. But before she could reply, Chen Xing laughed, sounding just like a loud bell: "Hahaha, how old are you, you dare to call her Sister Chi!"

Yu Pengcheng was even more embarrassed and muttered: "No but I can't just call her Goddess..."

Chi Xin was a little confused, she didn't know how old Yu Pengcheng was and she looked at Yu Xiang who was smiling happily.

"How old is he?"

"32." Jing Xiubai replied as he drove.

Chi Xin looked back at Yu Pengcheng's baby face in disbelief and sighed after some time: "Really can't judge a book by its cover."

Everyone laughed. No matter how powerful Chi Xin was, she looked rather small and the men softened their gazes as she shrank back in her seat and blinked her big eyes.

At this time, Rong Feng, who had not been involved in the conversation, sat upright and pointed forward: "There is a gas station, let's get some supplies first."

His words were unanimously agreed and the SUV pulled off in front of the building.

Chi Xin was about to get out of the car but when she turned around and looked at Jing Xiubai to turn off the engine, the system sounded.

[Host, put on the gear, and rush in!]

Chi Xin: "... what?"

[Quickly, host! Put the gear on and rush into the gas station!]

Chi Xin: "Are you crazy? It will explode!"

Because her trouble value was still over the pass line, the system couldn't control her but could still get angry. When it noticed Jing Xiubai retracting his hand, electricity appeared out of thin air and aimed at him. To Chi Xin's horror, his hand shook, and before she could think about it, she rushed forward and tried to change the gear. However, Jing Xiubai had already controlled the tremor and Chi Xin grabbed his arm instead and the shift lever moved.

The car began to slide forward.

Jing Xiubai: ...

Chi Xin: ...

Yu Xiang noticed something was wrong and knocked on the glass: "What are you doing? You're going to hit someone!"

Yu Pengcheng was opening the door of the gas station and Chi Xin's heart missed a bit. She braced herself but didn't expect her whole body to slip. Her elbow hit something and the car accelerated and rushed towards Yu Pengcheng.

Oh. My. God.

Jing Xiubai tried to step on the brakes but Chi Xin blocked his movement. In this very short time, he couldn't even roll down the window to yell at Yu Pengcheng and amidst the shouts of everyone, the SUV kept rushing toward their teammate—

Before hitting a large group of zombies that had swarmed out as soon as Yu Pengcheng had opened the door.

"Bang!"

The front of the car entered the door of the gas station.

Everyone was dumbfounded: "..."

Jing Xiubai held the steering wheel in one hand and watched Yu Pengcheng turn and roll onto the front of the car at the last moment, and at the faces of all the zombies caught in the windshield, full of shock.

He then slowly lowered his head to look at Chi Xin who was still holding his arm and pretending as if nothing had happened. The two of them were relatively speechless.
