Chapter 523: Chapter 517: Changing the Assembly Point

’What’s so great about her? Isn’t it just because the apocalypse changed everything?’

Feng JiaMin pursed her lips, muttering defiantly, "Don’t worry. Even if it’s just for the Feng Family’s sake, she wouldn’t dare lay a hand on me."

"Mr. Gu of the Gu Family and my grandfather used to have a life-and-death bond. Even though my grandfather is gone now, a sentimental man like Mr. Gu would definitely stand up for me."

"If she dares to cross the line with me, Mr. Gu will be the first one to come after her!"

Mo Wanrong smiled and replied softly, "That’s true."

She looked up and saw that the Shark Team, the Hungry Wolf Squad, and the Golden World Court team had also turned around and left with Xie Ning...

Stunned, Feng JiaMin quickly shouted, "Hey, where are you going? Are you all crazy? It’s not your kid who’s missing, so why are you getting involved?"

The Gold Element captain of the Shark Team didn’t even spare Feng JiaMin a glance as he said coldly, "We’re all part of the same brigade. A teammate is missing. Since we have the ability and the time, what’s the harm in helping out? We’re not cold-blooded like some people."

Being called cold-blooded to her face, Feng JiaMin couldn’t help but stomp her feet in anger. She pointed in the direction the three teams had gone and yelled, "You talk so high and mighty, but aren’t you just trying to suck up to Xie Ning? Trying to get on her good side?"

"So what if I don’t want to go? Being such a bleeding heart in the apocalypse... you won’t even know what hit you when you die!"

Just then, Zhou Bing, the captain of the Women’s Superpower Second Team who had been silent the entire time, spoke up calmly.

"If you had that kind of supreme, invincible power, people would flock to you, put you on a pedestal, and suck up to you, too. Since that’s not in the cards, stop with the envy, jealousy, and hate. Let’s go."

The others were snickering, secretly watching Feng JiaMin’s face, which had turned green with rage.

"Captain, make yourself clear. What do you mean I’m envious, jealous, and hateful?" Feng JiaMin pursued her, refusing to let it go. "Hey, wait, you... why are we going back with them?"

"There’s a message in the main group chat. The assembly point has been changed to the underground shelter. Everyone else is there, too. So, are you not going? If you don’t go, you can stay here and guard the gate by yourself."

Mo Wanrong’s lips twitched. ’This captain doesn’t speak for a thousand years, but when she does, her words really cut deep.’

Zhou Bing didn’t usually manage team affairs, but she seemed to know everything that was going on.

Usually, all the minor and major matters, including the mundane tasks of accepting and completing missions, were handled entirely by Vice-Captain Feng JiaMin.

Zhou Bing let Feng JiaMin keep the vice-captain position because, despite her big mouth, she was competent enough and got things done reasonably well.

’At least with Feng JiaMin around, I, the captain, can have a lot more free time...’

After all, Feng JiaMin relied on her family background. Whenever their Abnormal Ability Team Two needed to accept or turn in missions, clean equipment, or request weapons, she could always get them the green light at the base. This was beneficial for the entire team.

’It would be even better if she didn’t have that rotten mouth,’ Zhou Bing thought.

Even she found Feng JiaMin’s incessant buzzing extremely annoying, let alone someone like Captain Xie...

’On the surface, Captain Xie can’t be bothered to deal with an idiot like Feng JiaMin, but who knows? On the inside, she might already be plotting to find a deserted place to kill and bury her.’

Zhou Bing felt she had just saved her teammate’s sorry life. If that woman, Feng JiaMin, had any sense, she should be deeply grateful to her and not fail to appreciate the favor.

Feng JiaMin belatedly pulled out her wristband to take a look.

Sure enough, a new message was flashing on it.

Feng JiaMin was instantly furious. She gritted her teeth and muttered, "She’s really dragging everyone down. If we didn’t have to turn back to find that kid, why would Chen issue such an urgent order?"

Little did she know, after trudging back and forth through the sandstorm for over three hours, Feng JiaMin was already feeling her own stamina start to give out.

The thought that it would take another half an hour to walk from the base entrance to the shelter made Feng JiaMin feel a nameless rage shoot straight to her head.

So frustrating!

’That damn brat from the Starfire Team... she could have disappeared at any other time, but no, she had to do it now. She’s going to be the death of us.’

Xie Ning and her group knew Feng JiaMin was fuming. Even from across the crowd, they could hear the deliberate THUMP THUMP of her footsteps.

Xie Ning couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. ’If she has the energy to make a scene, let her. Stomping around like that isn’t wasting my energy.’

Zhou Bing finally couldn’t take it anymore. She shot her vice-captain, Feng JiaMin, a sidelong glance. "What are you doing? Do you have too much energy and nowhere to spend it?"

"Captain Gu ordered us to assemble at the shelter because a very tricky situation has come up there. The men’s Superpower Teams are having some trouble handling it. It’s not entirely because of the search for that kid, okay?"

"Besides, it’s on the way. What’s there to complain about? It’s not like it’s out of our way."

"And you claim to know him so well? Turns out, you’re the one who knows him least!"

Zhou Bing continued her deadpan roast, "When has Gu Chen ever mixed public and private matters? After the child went missing, wasn’t he the one who took the Starfire people to search? When did he ever trouble you?"

Listening from the side, Qu Lanping couldn’t help but laugh out loud. "Well, well, Zhou Bing, it’s a rare sight to see you speak. I think you make a lot of sense. You’re so eloquent, you should talk more often."

Zhou Bing’s face went rigid. She didn’t want to say another word.

’A big reason she was reluctant to speak in front of others was this very ’Comrade’ Qu Lanping!’

’She always loved to tease her. The moment she opened her mouth, it was always, ’An iron tree is blooming!’ Who would want to talk after that?’

The female members of the first team tugged on their blunt captain’s clothes.

Qu Lanping pouted.

’The Second Team’s captain, Zhou Bing, just can’t take a joke. The moment you tease her, she puts on that long, icy face.’

’Hmph, what a dreadfully boring person.’

A worried Song You’ai finally noticed her daughter was pulling a metal cart with a group of small children on it, and following behind them was a man with a sleazy smile.

Seeing her turn around, Xiao Huzi quickly pulled down his mask and nodded at her, grinning from ear to ear.

His mustache trembled slightly in the wind. He certainly had a distinctive look.

"Ningning, who is this gentleman?"

"He’s the second-in-command to Chen Zhaowei of Gushang Base."

"They were the ones who broke through all obstacles to send the sand worm photos and information to Jingji Base."

Recalling that the base commander, Chen Zhaowei, was a real monster, Song You’ai was immediately filled with awe and respect for Xiao Huzi.

Looking at him now, she felt his face was filled with an air of awe-inspiring righteousness, without a trace of the sleaziness she’d first perceived.

"Oh, my dear comrade, thank you so much! If you hadn’t sent us that information, we would have still been completely in the dark, with no idea such a huge crisis was happening here."
