Chapter 317 Dodder in the Apocalypse 26
However, Du Xiao remembered the important matter. He glanced at Feng Yan and, after confirming that he should be the leader of this team, said, "Sorry, I was distracted for a moment. What's your name, young man?"
Feng Yan remained indifferent, ignoring him, and pulled Yun Qing to sit down to continue eating breakfast.
Du Xiao smiled helplessly, appearing magnanimous and not one to argue with children, and said, "I mean no harm. It's just that now that it's the apocalypse, we survivors should unite to truly fight against the zombies and wait until the end of the apocalypse."
Then he mentioned the size of his team and tried to find out the strength of Feng Yan and the others.
As a result, no one paid any attention to him.
Du Xiao's face darkened.
Yao Xi rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, and then looked at Yun Qing and said, "Little sister, if I really want to join, will you accept me?"
Du Xiao's expression darkened further. "Yao Xi! Are you really going to betray the team over such a small conflict?"
Yao Xi retorted irritably, "Don't use such harsh language. What betrayal? Did I stab you in the back, or run away with the supplies? This is at most a parting of ways!"
"A little conflict! Xu Yang almost killed all my people, and you call that a little conflict?"
"I'm so frustrated in this team, I've wanted to quit for ages! You and Xu Yang can go be lovers!"
As she spoke, she pushed Du Xiao aside and went into the house, about to give a detailed introduction to her superpowers and achievements, and promote herself.
Then Yun Qing asked, "Xu Yang?"
Yao Xi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, Xu Yang, she's the vice-captain of our team now, do you know her?"
Qi Renyang and Zhou Yue exchanged a glance, somewhat surprised.
How did Xu Yang end up here?
They've already left the province, so the military base Xu Yang initially chose doesn't need to be located outside the province.
Why didn't she choose a location in the next province to establish her survivor base? What is she doing here?
Yun Qing took a big bite of the bun and snorted coldly, "It just so happens that I also have some conflicts with her."
Yao Xi immediately perked up, "That's great...what a coincidence! Girl, let me tell you, Xu Yang is really annoying."
"She always had an arrogant attitude, as if everyone else was an ant and she was a goddess."
"Actually, apart from being strong in combat, she doesn't have much ability. But she always likes to act like a leader and make decisions, resulting in her leading things in a bad way."
"Ever since she arrived, the team has become a complete mess. Even the captain has been bewitched by her and lost his mind. I'm telling you, that team is doomed sooner or later!"
Yao Xi spoke through gritted teeth, her face full of resentment.
Because of Xu Yang, several of her underlings were almost wiped out and perished in a pile of zombies.
Although she eventually saved him, Xu Yang didn't even apologize. Instead, she thought her underlings weren't capable enough and blamed them for dragging the whole team down.
Enraged, Yao Xi immediately got into a fight with her.
They didn't win.
Du Xiao, the team leader, valued Xu Yang's abilities and showed favoritism towards him. Even though he knew that Xu Yang's decision was the problem, he didn't utter a word of blame and instead tried to smooth things over.
Moreover, this isn't the first time such favoritism has occurred.
After Xu Yang arrived, she went from being the second-in-command to the third-in-command, and her power was effectively usurped. She could tolerate all of this because she was simply less capable than him.
But when she and her underlings could not receive the fair treatment they deserved, she became disillusioned with the team.
Her decision to leave wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thing; she needed to find a way to survive for herself and her men.
Yao Xi said solemnly, "If you are willing to take people in, I have a few underlings who are quite good at fighting. If I leave, I will definitely take them with me. I can guarantee their character. If you are not at ease, you can observe them for a while first."
Seeing that Yao Xi had gone this far and was determined to leave, Du Xiao felt a surge of anger.
"Yao Xi! It's all in the past, why do you keep bringing it up? You're not as strong as others, and you're blaming me for valuing Xu Yang more? Besides, aren't your underlings all fine?"
Yao Xi was too lazy to argue with him anymore; she just looked at Yun Qing and waited for an answer.
She's come this far; there's no turning back.
Even if she can't join this decent team today, she'll still leave with her underlings.
Yun Qing asked earnestly, "Do you know how to cook?"
Yao Xi looked completely bewildered. What kind of question was this?
She and her underlings are all superhumans, shouldn't they be asking about their ability levels and combat strength? What the heck is cooking over a fire?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Yun Qing kindly reminded her, "Aren't you a fire-type ability user? Starting a fire shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Even if you don't know how, you can learn!
Yao Xi snapped out of her daze and, seeing that no one else had said anything, it was clear that Yun Qing was in charge. She quickly replied, "No problem! I can cook, and I'm quite good at it!"
Yun Qing nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Feng Yan.
Although she wanted to hire someone who could cook and tend the fire so that Feng Yan wouldn't have to work so hard, whether or not she could hire him was ultimately up to Feng Yan.
After all, she doesn't know anything. What if she gets scammed?
Feng Yan handed her the bowl he was holding, let her drink some soy milk, and then said to Yao Xi, "Bring the person over for a look first."
Yao Xi's eyes lit up. "Okay!"
She turned around and ran to call for help.
Yao Xi's decision to target Feng Yan's team wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; she had her own reasons.
The fact that their team members didn't care about Du Xiao's abilities is enough to prove that this team is not weak.
Most importantly, the gentle and delicate Yun Qing is doing very well in this team.
Yao Xi has a keen sense of superpowers. Although she can't judge a person's specific strength, she can sense whether a person has superpowers or not.
To be honest, she was somewhat surprised when she discovered that Yun Qing was just an ordinary person without any special abilities.
Because Yun Qing's status in this team is obviously not low. Not only does her boyfriend pamper her, but the other two also clearly respect her.
That's quite remarkable.
This also gave Yao Xi a very good impression of the team.
In a post-apocalyptic world of chaos and moral decay, being beautiful is itself a danger.
Let alone a woman who hasn't awakened any superpowers, even if she had, wouldn't she still be forced to ruin her face to protect herself?
Du Xiao, no longer caring about coveting the pampered flowers, hurriedly followed Yao Xi back home.
Yao Xi wasn't exaggerating; her subordinates were indeed quite capable fighters, and letting them go would be a major loss for her team.
He couldn't help but feel like he'd tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead. He'd come here to recruit this team, but now, it seemed like his own people were about to be recruited by someone else.
Yun Qing finished eating the bun in her hand, then suddenly remembered something and waved to Da Huang, who was eating a meat bun.
Big Yellow swallowed the meat bun in its mouth and came running over, barking, "Woof..."
Yun Qing leaned close to its ear and whispered something to it. After thinking for a while, Da Huang nodded solemnly.
Then Yunqing waited with peace of mind for Yao Xi to bring her younger brothers to seek refuge.
When Feng Yan saw that she had finished eating, he pulled her up and said, "Go wash your hands."
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
Why go to the bedroom to wash her hands? Is her hand something she's ashamed of?
