In the dimly lit room, Qin Decang immediately recognized Su Changxing. Su Changxingâs outfit was quite distinctive, making it hard not to notice: a large backpack, a longbow, and a steel saber.
Qin Decang turned to the side and asked Chen Ling: "Who are they?"
Chen Ling explained: "We encountered them last night and fought against the Hunters together."
Su Changxing and Xu Chuâs Sweat were both asleep, so he looked at Zhang Daxi and said: "Treat this place as your own, in the apocalypse, we need to help each other."
Zhang Daxi was stunned for a few seconds, then responded: "Captain Qin has a noble spirit."
He recognized who this person was, Qin Decang, formerly from the Special Forces, nicknamed "Military Fire God," and they had even met once on the battlefield.
Qin Decang couldnât help but scrutinize Zhang Daxiâs features, furrowing his brows:
"You look somewhat familiar, have we met before?"
Zhang Daxiâs heart skipped a beat, but he maintained his composure and said: "We have indeed met before. It was thanks to you when we were pursued by that powerful Hunter. I and my companions are sincerely grateful. If you need anything, just let us know."
This statement was both an expression of gratitude and an expression of stance.
His heart was already uneasy, as they were on the Security Bureauâs turf. If Qin Decang recognized him and wanted to settle old scores, it would be effortless to eliminate them.
Qin Decangâs face carried a subtle smile: "Is that so? So, itâs you all. Iâm glad youâre still alive; in this Doomsday World, the more who survive, the better."
He glanced at Xu Chuâs Sweat on the ground, sat beside him, and said: "I remember his arm had already been amputated, yet now itâs still intact."
Zhang Daxi thought for a moment and said: "Thatâs his superpower, and itâs precisely because of this superpower that his life was spared."
"Is that so? Thatâs quite a remarkable superpower."
Qin Decang displayed a thoughtful look, his eyes flashing sharply. His memory was excellent; he clearly remembered that Zhang Daxi had superpowers while Xu Chuâs Sweat did not.
It must be that Xu Chuâs Sweat awakened his superpower in the Doomsday World.
According to what he knew, many people in the Doomsday World have awakened superpowers; or perhaps they already had superpowers but were too weak before to manifest.
After arriving here, due to the environment, the superpowers started to strengthen.
A little while later, Dr. Wu came into the room to treat Qin Decang.
Qin Decang looked at her, grinning: "Wu Jie, your body canât take it anymore, can it? Have some rest; my injuries arenât serious. Itâs fine, itâs fine."
Wu Jie shook her head, calmly saying: "Itâs still your health thatâs vital, Captain. If any accident occurs, youâll be needed."
Her tone was tranquil, and her spirit seemed somewhat confused. It was evident that this healing superpower took a significant toll on her body.
Qin Decang hesitated for a moment, then said:
"You can just treat my arm. That guy was too fierce; luckily my superpower can strengthen my arm, haha. Otherwise, this hand wouldâve been gone."
Wu Jie extended her emaciated hands to treat Qin Decang, and grain-like green fluorescence once again dispersed from her hands.
During Wu Jieâs treatment, Su Changxing also noticed some minor injuries on himself, scratches from climbing, wounds from battles, and cuts from zombies beginning to heal at a visibly quick pace.
This was the effect of the Dreamerâs sleep healing.
Under such status, he could more clearly feel his own status, wrapped in clothes, so others did not notice any anomaly on Su Changxing.
Zhang Daxi looked at the thin and deep scars on Qin Decangâs arm, his pupils suddenly constricted, saying:
"Captain Qin, were you injured by that powerful Hunter?"
Qin Decang nodded: "Yes, he was very formidable; I nearly died."
Zhang Daxi thought for a moment, his expression grave: "Captain Qin, we were chased by that Hunter for some time. I suspect that Hunter has some means of tracking. He can track people heâs injured."
Before, that Hunter didnât pursue them, solely because Qin Decang drew attention; otherwise, theyâd be undoubtedly dead.
But clearly, that Hunter wonât give up easily. What will happen when Qin Decang comes?
Draw the prey here!
The people in the room were all taken aback, gazing intently. Even if they hadnât seen it, they knew the terror of that Hunter.
Qin Decangâs eyes sharpened, aggressively: "Is what you say true?"
"Itâs true."
Zhang Daxi confirmed with a nod, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes, fear towards that Hunter; the shadow of being pursued still lingered in his mind.
The room fell silent, the people around looked at each other, exchanging glances.
In Godâs Perspective, Su Changxing also felt a sinking sensation, realizing this place might be dangerousâ"Tailor" was very likely trailing Qin Decang and could appear here at any moment.
The hidden terrain here is both an advantage and a disadvantage; if "Tailor" arrives and blocks the door, none of them will escape.
Zhang Daxi realized the danger, kicked Xu Chuâs Sweat, and shouted: "Wake up, old three, stop sleeping."
"Whatâs going on... whyâd you kick me?"
This time, Xu Chuâs Sweat finally woke up, dazedly noticing many people around him, startling into complete alertness: "Old two, where are we?"
His eyes flashed with obscure red light, hard to notice, but Su Changxing indeed saw it and knew through "True Knowledge" that his physical strength seemed to have significantly increased during that time.
This is the path of opening, achieving the extraordinary, though Xu Chuâs Sweat hasnât completely succeeded; heâs still a step away.
Zhang Daxi replied: "Weâre at the Security Bureauâs base. This is Captain Qin."
Xu Chuâs Sweat stood up from the ground, seeing Qin Decang, and paused, immediately understanding, squeezing out a stiff smile: "Thank you, Captain Qin for taking us in."
Qin Decang scrutinized Xu Chuâs Sweat, calmly: "Helping each other is only proper."
Then, he stood up, head down, arranging his clothes nonchalantly:
"Since that Hunter is coming for me, Iâll leave here first. You take care... Squad Leader Chen, tomorrow lead your team away from this area and rendezvous with Team Five... If I die, youâre the captain of Team Three, responsible for Team Three affairs entirely. Above all, act based on survival; previously, we were too aggressive, which led to this failure."
