Xu Qian gave a faint smile, and the coldness in her eyes seemed to melt away instantly.
She explained, uncharacteristically, "You are all my family. If I have something to eat, you will have something to eat. Don't worry."
"I won't elaborate on why we are helping them this time. These women are not weak. Almost every one of them is an ability user, and their leader is a rare dual-element ability user. They deserve our help."
"We'll do whatever you say. We have no objections."
"Exactly!"
"Sister Qian, we're with you."
Mei Yuebai frowned and said, "Let's talk about it after we eat. You're all talking too much, rambling on and on."
Cheng Liangze shouted, "Mei Yuebai, don't be so excessive! You're always picking on us, are you not talking too much?"
Mei Yuebai's mouth twitched, and she grabbed the chair under her and threw it at Cheng Liangze.
"You talk too much."
"Hey, hey, hey, you're the one talking too much. Come and hit me, come and hit me."
Mei Yuebai endured it, but she couldn't anymore. She stood up and chased him.
The two of them playfully bickered, full of joy.
Cheng Liangze was the least afraid of trouble, daring to provoke anyone.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly, suddenly feeling that having teammates wasn't bad. Jiang Shuo's former teammates were all scumbags; indeed, one shouldn't judge an entire group by a few.
The next morning.
Xu Qian got up early and went to the collective warehouse.
They hadn't slept so comfortably in a long, long time. They had slept so soundly since eating dinner the previous day; it was truly blissful.
Xu Qian picked up the loudspeaker and turned the volume to the maximum.
"Wake up immediately. We will gather outside in 10 minutes."
Everyone was startled awake from their sleep.
They sat up and saw their strategist standing erect, her hair neatly combed, and her attire clean. Clearly, she had been up for a long time.
Without delay, both the women and children got up and quickly gathered outside.
Once everyone was in formation.
Xu Qian willed it, and two boxes of weapons appeared on the ground.
"Everyone will get a weapon from me. Children will take daggers. Starting today, we will train how to kill zombies. All adults must participate. Children will stay behind me and watch; do not run around. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
After everyone had collected their weapons, two children shyly approached Xu Qian.
"Sister..."
"What is it?"
"Sister, where is the restroom?"
Xu Qian was taken aback; she hadn't considered this question.
"Does anyone need to go to the restroom?"
Almost everyone raised their hands.
"Follow me."
Just then, Xie Yayun and Xie Xiaoyan arrived in a hurry, their faces a little embarrassed.
"Xiao Qian, why didn't you call us?"
Fortunately, she usually woke up early, so she wasn't too late.
"Sister Yayun, you have separate training. No need to rush; go back and prepare breakfast for them first."
"Xiao Yan, you come with me."
Xie Yayun could only nod, wondering what Xiao Qian was planning.
After they had attended to their physiological needs, Xu Qian led them to an office building.
The glass doors were locked, and from the outside, they could vaguely see many zombies walking by.
The children were a little scared and shrank behind the adults. Although they had all seen zombies before, they still felt a natural fear in their hearts.
These were man-eating monsters!
"I will open the door. As long as the zombies outside cannot get in, today's mission will be accomplished."
