The main entrance of the distribution center.
Lu Xinyi sat lazily on the driver's seat of the off-road vehicle with the door open. She gently wiped the knife and asked casually: "Teacher Zhou, are you sure those people you mentioned will come to us?"
Before going to the abandoned residential building, Zhou Yan asked her if she could take in a few of Xu Changjie's men.
The few people he mentioned were relatively familiar with him, and he understood their personalities. Moreover, those few people did not like Xu Changjie's leadership and had expressed to him many times that they wanted to leave Xu Changjie's team.
Therefore, he boldly proposed to Lu Xinyi, hoping that she could take in those people.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Xinyi poached short-sleeved men in public in abandoned residential buildings.
Zhou Yan glanced at the direction of the residential building and felt a little unsure, saying, "I'm not 100% sure, but I'm 70% or 80% sure."
"Okay." Lu Xinyi said, "But I agreed beforehand, Teacher Zhou, that I won't wait here for too long. If they haven't come by this time tomorrow, I won't wait any longer."
Although base members are indispensable, she does not recruit just anyone into her base.
If those people didn't want to come, she wouldn't force them.
Waited for nearly half an hour.
Qin Geng, who was standing next to Lu Xinyi, leaning lazily on the off-road vehicle with his hands folded across his chest, suddenly stood up straight.
"Xin Yi, they are coming."
Lu Xinyi put away the Miao knife and got out of the car.
Turning around, he saw three men and two women running towards them in a hurry.
The two girls are very young, in their twenties, and look about 60-70% similar. They must be sisters.
Among the three men, the man with the Chinese character face is about forty years old, and the other two are about thirty years old, and they both have a certain integrity in their faces.
Seeing the five people running towards them, Zhou Yan, who was sitting in the minivan, immediately opened the door and jumped out, looking at the five people with a look of relief.
"Old Tao, you're finally here." He quickly walked up to the Chinese-character face, reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"Our two legs are not as good as a car with four tires. It took us half an hour to drive here, but we hurriedly and slowly arrived."
Lao Tao is a little fat. Although he has lost a lot of weight since the end of the world, he still looks fatter than Zhou Yan.
In such a hot weather and after such a long journey, he was so tired that he was sweating profusely and almost collapsed.
At this moment, he didn't care about anything else and sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
The other few people looked quite embarrassed, their clothes had already been wet with sweat, and everyone looked like they had been fished out of the water.
"Everyone, let's rest for a while." Lu Xinyi said, giving each of the five people a bottle of water.
"Water!" As soon as Lao Tao saw the water, he hurriedly took it as if he saw a life-saving straw. After thanking him repeatedly, he unscrewed the bottle cap and started drinking.
"Old Tao, drink slowly." A girl reminded, "Don't drink cold water when it's too hot. Drink it in small sips."
Lao Tao drank half a bottle of water in one breath, breathed a sigh of relief, and said nonchalantly: "Whatever, I'd rather drink water and die than die of heat."
"Bah, bah, bah, don't be so talkative." The girl glared at him, then looked at Lu Xinyi with a smile, "This...classmate? Thank you for the water!"
This girl looks several years younger than her. She must have been a college student before the disaster. There seems to be nothing wrong with calling her a classmate... right?
Lu Xinyi said: "My name is Lu Xinyi, and his name is Qin Geng. You all know Mr. Zhou, so I won't introduce him."
The girl also quickly introduced: "My name is Yuan Xue, and she is my sister Yuan Shuang. One of them is named Tian Ming, and the other is Shi Nuo. Before the disaster, the four of us were neighbors in the same building. When the disaster happened, we happened to be We left the community to go to work together, and we have been walking together since then.”
"As for Lao Tao, we met after joining Xu Changjie's team."
After getting to know each other, Lu Xinyi said: "Although you are here, it does not mean that I will accept you. Before that, I have a few questions to ask you. I will not let you join me until I get satisfactory answers." base."
Upon hearing her words, Yuan Xue and others were a little nervous, and Lao Tao couldn't help but look at Zhou Yan for help.
However, Zhou Yan didn't know what kind of questions Lu Xinyi would ask, so he could only give him a helpless look.
After glancing at the five people, Lu Xinyi asked: "What kind of jobs did you all have before the end of the world?"
"Let me put it in perspective." Yuan Xue said, "I am an intern in the hospital, my sister works in a cake shop, Tian Ming is a programmer, Shi Nuo is a courier, Lao Tao——"
"Old Tao, I'm an electrician." Old Tao said with a smile, raising his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead.
Lu Xinyi nodded and asked, "Have you awakened your powers? What kind of powers are you?"
"I will speak for myself." Lao Tao raised his hand very actively, "I have the metal power, Shi Nuo has the speed power, and Yuan Shuang has the water power. Yuan Xue and Tian Ming have no awakened powers. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Xue and Tian Ming's faces were obviously filled with disappointment.
Lu Xinyi took in the reactions of several people and continued to ask: "How many zombies have you killed?"
Yuan Xue said: "From the disaster to now, we have killed many zombies. As for the specific number, we have not calculated it."
The others nodded in agreement.
"Next question." Lu Xinyi said, looking at the people with a more serious look, "Have you ever killed anyone? If you need to kill someone in the future, will you dare to kill someone?"
This question stunned the five people, and no one spoke for a while.
kill?
They never thought about it.
Even killing zombies for the first time requires a long period of psychological preparation.
If they were asked to kill someone, they really didn't know if they would be able to muster the courage.
Lu Xinyi didn't urge him and just looked at them quietly.
After a moment, Yuan Xue, who had never spoken a word, said firmly: "I have never killed anyone, but if it comes to the point where I have to kill someone, I will kill him."
Having seen Lu Xinyi's decisive and decisive look when he was in the residential building, she knew that if she wanted to take refuge with Lu Xinyi, it was obviously not possible to be soft-hearted and soft-hearted.
Besides, it's the end of the world now, and being merciful to everyone will only hurt yourself in the end.
After others hesitated for a moment, they also gave the same answer as Yuan Xue.
Lu Xinyi said no more, and his deep gaze fell on the five people for an instant, making the five people feel as if their entire beings had been seen through, and they had nothing to hide.
The five of them looked at each other nervously, and then looked at Lu Xinyi in unison, waiting for her judgment.
After a long while, Lu Xinyi said slowly: "Your answers passed my assessment. Welcome to join the Oasis Base."
Five more members were added to the base, and her points increased by five thousand.
