Bai Shu said: “This time, a large amount of power-generating stones were discovered overseas. After international online discussions, it was decided to go together to collect resources.”

Although they said “together,” the reality was that they divided the areas, and each person would collect as much as they could.

The current difficulty was that no one knew what the situation was like outside. It was indeed dangerous, but the Dark Day couldn’t end for the time being, and the power supply to the base was a major problem. Therefore, the power-generating stones were a critical resource everyone was competing for.

Previously, City E had accumulated quite a few, but for so many bases, it still wasn’t enough.

Moreover, the reward for this mission was not small, offering 150 million points as a reward.

Chen Xiaofei also spoke up: “This is a direct mission; it can’t be refused, right?”

Bai Shu nodded, “Indeed.”

Wang Weihuo said, “Then everyone must be careful when going out.”

Qin Luo lamented, “How come Lin Qianxing’s shop has closed? He still owes us three sets of little skirts.”

Chen Xiaofei quickly corrected him, “No, he owes the little squad leader three sets of skirts. We’re not wearing them.”

Bai Shu pushed up his glasses and said, “Exactly.”

Qin Luo’s face turned inexplicably red, not sure why, and glanced at Xu Duoduo, who was seriously looking at the mission notice, which made him even more embarrassed.

Bai Shu suddenly looked at Qin Luo with suspicion and then exclaimed in surprise, “Qin, you… you’ve worn them, haven’t you?” His expression was quite odd.

Chen Xiaofei also suddenly realized something and screamed, “Ah!” He was totally shocked, “Wow, Qin, you didn’t deny it just now! That’s an indirect admission, right? Oh my god, you and the little squad leader really know how to have fun…”

Qin Luo, blushing, shouted at him to “shut up!” “Let’s talk about the mission, okay?”

Wang Weihuo helplessly told them not to make a fuss, “This time, we need to take the airship. I wonder what it’s like to take a modified airship; I’ve heard it’s faster than a plane.”

Chen Xiaofei laughed, “It’s like science fiction movies becoming real. This world is completely crazy!”

They joked around, but when it came to serious matters, 3A was still focused. Despite their playful behavior, their strength was unquestionable.

Xu Duoduo was diligently reviewing her knowledge points. She didn’t have much combat experience and couldn’t joke around like they did. She had to study seriously.

She couldn’t hold her teammates back.

Currently, in the entire 3A squad, Qin Luo’s ability was at the early stage of level 5, while Wang Weihuo and the others were at the early stage of level 4. Xu Duoduo’s true abilities were still untested.

However, her space abilities were indeed getting stronger. Recently, the plants in her space had started bearing fruit, and the mutated seafood had become very lively, growing into large seafood creatures. Soon, they should be able to start breeding, which was very convenient for her.

Xu Duoduo didn’t have to manage them; they would grow freely in the magic cube space.

She felt very happy.

Her offensive abilities had also greatly improved. At least now, she could feel the expansion of her ability capacity.

Xu Duoduo speculated that each time she exhausted her abilities and reached the white-fur stage, it was an expansion of her powers, and then she would replenish energy by consuming mutated cores.

The low-level mutated cores were hard to consume and required a lot of them. Recently, she had become tired of chewing, so she didn’t want to eat them much. The mechanical two-star mutated cores were also interesting; she could see the mechanical movements inside, but the taste was the same as the crystal on the outside, sweet and crispy.

It was like crunchy candy.

At this moment, Xu Duoduo was eating a mutated core while reading materials about mutated monsters abroad. Since the apocalypse, monsters in different countries had been different, but this wasn’t strange considering the different growing environments in each area.

For example, the wind-rolling grass monsters that ravaged Country M would never appear domestically.

Bai Shu suddenly spoke up: “The headquarters has set a level requirement for the ability users sent this time. They must be level 3 or higher. If anyone in the team is below level 3, they won’t be allowed to participate.”

Fortunately, Xu Duoduo’s ability was evaluated as level 3 in the research institute center.

This was based on her combat abilities.

Since her mutation direction couldn’t be directly tested for ability value, her strength, speed, and sensitivity were tested instead.

However, her martial power assessment of level 3 was quite impressive, and it was known that she also had a space ability!

If her space ability were to be rated, Qin Luo and the others privately estimated that she was at least at the late stage of level 4.

Perhaps even more.

Chen Xiaofei reminded everyone, “The little squad leader still has a trump card. When her ability was below level 1 or 2, she could still kill the three-star snake man! Oh my god, if that’s the case, she can fight mutated monsters of level 6 or 7?! The little squad leader is too awesome!”

Qin Luo immediately embraced Xu Duoduo protectively and said, “No, no, this situation should never happen. It’s too risky.”

Xu Duoduo:…

Thanks, big dog, for once again reminding her of how foolish the side effects were, sob sob!

Bai Shu also advised, “It’s too risky, and as for the little squad leader’s space ability, it’s better not to expose it unless absolutely necessary.”

Wang Weihuo also agreed, “Other space ability users always have to be accompanied by people; it’s both protection and surveillance. It’s really quite restrictive.”

Moreover, they couldn’t participate in combat and could only be assigned to logistics positions.

Eventually, they became like a moving warehouse, powerless, but space ability users were too precious, so headquarters naturally didn’t want to take any risks.

Xu Duoduo quickly shook her head, “I don’t want to be a warehouse. I want to fight alongside you until the end.”

Her teammates were immediately touched.

Qin Luo hugged Xu Duoduo tightly and swayed her, “Baby, this is too, too romantic!!” The big dog rubbed her head.

Chen Xiaofei sighed, “Wow, fighting alongside us until the end, really! I’m so moved!”

He punched his chest and nodded at Xu Duoduo, “Having a teammate like the little squad leader is really great!”

Bai Shu couldn’t help but smile and pushed up his glasses, “If the little squad leader had joined us earlier, maybe she could have achieved great things.”

Wang Weihuo, the big guy, nodded as well, “On the battlefield, the most hated thing is the deserter who abandons their teammates. The little squad leader, a regular person who never joined the army, actually has this kind of awareness. That’s amazing.”

They were all extremely moved.

Who understands the significance of these words?!

Xu Duoduo had always lived a regulated and disciplined life before, and she had never experienced this kind of feeling. After so many missions with them in the apocalypse, she finally understood this bond of life and death.

Brotherhood was also a beautiful feeling.

Qin Luo and the others were really excited. This was like making a blood brother oath, a life-and-death pact. They clapped for Xu Duoduo and said they would find something to reward her. Each of them pulled out a little trinket and handed it to her.

Xu Duoduo:…

Are they treating her like a child???
