Because they made an appointment with He Daqing at 5 p.m, the team, who only ate a little at noon, had dinner earlier than usual and showed up on time in the fountain square in the villa area.
He Daqing also brought his people early. He took all of his men with him, not for power display, but a sincere expression of good faith. These people were very grateful to Hou Ying and his team for saving their boss and Bald Head. When Hou Ying proposed to He Daqing to help take in the ordinary people under Chen Yong, although they seemed reluctant, they didn’t object.
Hou Ying explained the status quo of the ordinary people very clearly without hiding anything. Although they need a lot of rations, those who haven’t been released from the hypnotic state act very mechanically. They have been trained by Chen Yong to be punctual as robots. There’s no problem in doing logistical work. They’re really not useless.
He Daqing said, “I know that you’re leaving, but my brothers and I don’t think about the survivor bases anymore. We can support ourselves by staying here. These people are also from Quanshi, brothers and sisters born from the same root. Even if Brother Hou doesn’t say it, we won’t watch them die. Don’t worry.”
Hou Ying smiled and replied, “I know it’s not easy for everyone now. It’s difficult for you to bear so many people. Although they’re not our responsibility, it’s our fate that we met them, regardless of their conscience. Therefore, my friends and I put together something. In order to thank Boss He for telling us how to absorb the zombie crystal nuclei, I also want to give a little token.”
Su Fenghe alone carried the big iron box. He put it in front of He Daqing, opened it for them to see, then closed it. Even with only one glance, He Daqing and the younger brother behind him gasped. He Daqing hurriedly said, “Brother Hou, this is… This gift is too heavy. We can’t take your things for nothing.”
Hou Ying waved his hand, replying, “We won’t do anything beyond our ability. Boss He, take it. What you need most now is this. It’s not easy for anyone to survive in the apocalypse. Supporting each other can at least give me a clear conscience. Besides, when Boss He becomes prosperous in the future, and we can’t go on anymore, we’ll go to you and ask for shelter. I hope you don’t dislike us by then.”
He Daqing’s eyes were hot, and he smiled with a sore nose. “Brother Hou, everyone, He Daqing had recognized you as brothers!”
Hou Ying admired his refreshing attitude. They looked at each other and smiled, and Hou Ying said, “We plan to leave tomorrow, Boss He doesn’t need to send us off. We will have a drink together next time we meet.”
He Daqing responded loudly.
Both parties were satisfied. After He Daqing and his people returned to the church, they counted the crystal nuclei sent by Hou Ying and his team, and found that there were 5 five-element crystals and 2 lightning gold crystals! And there were three cigarettes placed under the crystal cores!
He Daqing isn’t clear about other circumstances, but he knows that Hou Ying and the others don’t have many lightning nuclei in their hands. Now three level 2 lightning nuclei are generously given to him. He Daqing dares to say he doesn’t have such a mind. He will remember this friendship for a lifetime.

“Bald Head, and also you guys, I know everyone hates Chen Yong and his people, but now that Chen Yong is dead, we all know that those ordinary people are innocent. If those ability users are willing to take refuge in us, we can help. But for these ordinary people, we will do our best, and won’t treat them badly. Can we do it?”
“Yes!”
“Boss, don’t worry!”
Inside the church, it’s happy.
These people, and Hou Ying, who is about to leave, don’t know that today’s temporary charity has become China’s largest free human base in the future!
Early the next morning, Hou Ying’s team left Quanshi and headed to the next stop in their route.
They didn’t clean up the zombies with abilities in Quanshi. They just aimed at the rare level 3 and level 2 zombies and then stopped, so it was done in one night.
Everyone worked step by step, repeating the work of luring and killing zombies with crystal nuclei, replenishing materials, honing their abilities, and doing the high-temperature adaptation training in no exact order. They didn’t meet other survivors until they entered the army base of the 24th Division. It seems that the operation of the Yangtze River Base has been very successful, and such ability as mind-reading is too rare, so not everyone can see their conspiracy in advance. In fact, for most survivors facing a survival crisis, being contained by a large human base is actually a good choice for them. The next stop is the base of the 24th Division. Due to mountain road restrictions, heavy trucks couldn’t pass all road sections safely, so they chose a sufficiently concealed place to stop.
Li Xuanyuan, Jiang Tao, Qiao Daye, Liu Zhan, and Su Fenghe reassembled the dismantled armored off-road vehicle, which will be their mode of transportation back to the army. The atmosphere was silent and inexplicably serious. The few people who came to lend support could understand their timid mood of being close to their hometown. Even the youngest Meng Hanghai was sensible enough not to disturb the quiet adults.
Except for Dongfang Bai.
At this time, the difference in the order of arrival is undoubtedly obvious.
The journey was so smooth that Dongfang Bai, who hadn’t shared life and death experiences together, was repelled by this atmosphere and had a sense of being an outsider. He truly disliked this feeling. He asked in a low voice, “Brother Hou, what’s the matter with them? Are we gonna do a hard mission? Can you give me a clue so that I can be mentally prepared… Brother Hou? Is it inconvenient to say?”
Qiao Daye, with sharp ears, and Hou Ying, who just came back from peeing, silently stopped their movements and looked at Dongfang Bai and… the Brother Hou in his mouth.
The team looked over. Then Dongfang Bai, who’s overly sensitive to people’s gazes, realized that he had made a mistake. He awkwardly laughed, “Sorry, I’m practicing my lines, ha-ha-ha.”
Everyone: “…”
Obviously, this isn’t the first time he had used this excuse, it sounded authentic.
Gongsun Jing, who’s cleaning the vegetables for Chef Brother Hou, wiped her hands and walked over. She said, “Dongfang, do you have face blindness? To what extent? I’m not prying into your privacy, but this is very important. What if you need our help in the future but couldn’t find us?”
Dongfang Bai realized his mistake and hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, I used to conceal it when I worked.”
Yes, Mr. Dongfang Bai, the world-renowned film emperor, suffers from an incurable disease called prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness. There are two types of patients with face blindness, one is that they can’t see people’s faces at all. Dongfang Bai hasn’t been so unlucky yet. He belongs to the latter type, that is, he lost the ability to recognize people’s faces and facial features, one with a deep degree. If his agent, who has worked with him for nearly ten years, has changed his hairstyle and clothing style and stood with people similar to his body size, he wouldn’t be able to recognize him. It’s for this reason that Dongfang Bai’s agent is rumored to be a rigid and self-disciplined man by insiders, because he always combs his hair meticulously, wears a black suit and white shirt, and doesn’t change his clothes all year round.
Because of this problem, Dongfang Bai always subconsciously remembers each person’s characteristics, body shape, and clothing, which has been integrated into his life. It’s almost impossible to make mistakes because, under uncertain circumstances, he will not easily speak to others.
This time it was exposed because he was absent-minded. He didn’t know that Hou Ying, who helped deal with live poultry beside him, left and let Ji Yao take over his job. For convenience, all men in the team shaved their heads—Gongsun Jing’s works are terrible, have no aesthetic, and are short in length. Even he is not spared.
Knowing that Dongfang Bai had this problem, Meng Hanghai, a child who had always been careful not to take the initiative to speak to him, showed curiosity about him for the second time since showing his wings, and took the initiative to approach him. This is the legendary face blindness, which can only be seen once in his life!
Seeing that he’s too embarrassed, Ji Yao took the initiative to say, “In this case, we’ll tie cloth strips of different colors on our arms every day, and be familiar with it. Otherwise, when fighting…it will be inconvenient.”
Dongfang Bai was moved. Really.
In the whole team, Hou Ying is the only one he trusts most. Now Ji Yao is the second person to break his defense. The proof is that Dongfang Bai, who usually doesn’t say unnecessary things to Ji Yao, took the initiative to chat with him.
He didn’t know that this was his own wild fanboy, and his smiling face dazzled Ji Yao’s eyes. He said, “I’ve been to your concert before, and I’ve watched every movie and TV series of yours.”
“Really?”
Dongfang Bai was surprised.
Ji Yao said with a smile, “Of course!” Ji Yao switched to being a professional fanboy when he got excited, “Male god! I’m so happy to meet you, can I have your autograph? Meme da!“
Everyone got goosebumps with his tone. Gongsun Jing silently took Meng Hanghai and Wang Hehe away, to avoid being harmed by him. Dongfang Bai was happy and smiled brightly, “I didn’t expect that I would still meet my fans in my lifetime! Of course, I will! Although my signature is not worth a penny anymore, its value used to be 10,000 yuan. Thank you for your support. Where do you want it signed?”
Ji Yao stretched out his hand.
Dongfang Bai followed suit and fetched some water to clean the dirt from the poultry. He then signed his signature that he had written for many years in Ji Yao’s palm.
Everyone looked at them—two idiots.jpg
“Thank you, male god!”
Ji Yao was really happy.
Dongfang Bai smiled while crying. One by one, it rolled down his cheeks and dripped down into the basin, making a ticking sound. Ji Yao was startled. He hurriedly comforted him but didn’t know what to say.
There’s still a smile on Dongfang Bai’s face. He wiped away his tears and said, “It’s okay. I just remembered… My fans used to call me Little Angel. I didn’t expect that one day I would become a birdman.”
