After the girl spoke some words, the restless crowd suddenly became quiet.
As Wang Zidan said, they had actually seen the rewards for going out to search for supplies on the notice board.
It's just that most people are wary of unknown things, and maintaining a wait-and-see attitude is the safest choice for them.
And now the girl emphasized it again, which undoubtedly aroused everyone's curiosity.
People are always like this, and they will be more or less suspicious of what they hear.
But if someone actually uses themselves as an example, it will be much more convincing.
Xu Xiaoxiao's words first pointed out that he was once one of the ordinary survivors, and then put the example of his successful strengthening in front of everyone.
With the combination of the two, some survivors who had already had ideas were immediately ready to take action and began to reconsider participating in the material search.
Leaving the shelter is indeed risky, but if this risk can be exchanged for huge benefits and an opportunity to become stronger, how many people will refuse it easily?
"If I undergo augmentation surgery, will I definitely become an augmenter?"
A woman who looked like a young woman squeezed out from the crowd and asked with a longing look on her face.
"No, there is a chance of failure. The intensive surgery is not 100% successful. I can't deceive you about this."
Unexpectedly, the girl shook her head and gave an answer that disappointed everyone.
"Even intensive surgery has a risk of failure, so giving priority to receiving intensive surgery is of no use! Should we give priority to death?"
"That's right! After working on it for a long time, he's still drawing cakes for us!"
The crowd suddenly became noisy, and some of them were so angry that they even started shouting and cursing. The situation was once again on the verge of getting out of control.
A month ago, if Xu Xiaoxiao were to face such a scene, she would probably be so frightened that she would turn pale and embarrassed, not knowing what to do.
But now, Xu Xiaoxiao is no longer the delicate college student in that era of order.
She glanced at everyone with an expressionless face, and the skin around her body showed a faint scarlet color.
Due to the direct sunlight at noon, this change was not discovered by the survivors.
But then, the girl made a move.
He slowly raised his right leg, hung in the air for a moment, and then stepped onto the ground without any warning!
There was only a dull roar as the girl stepped on the solid concrete floor and made a small hole on the spot!
The spiderweb-like cracks grew crazily and did not stop until they reached the feet of the survivors.
One kick, crushing the ground!
The buzzing and noise suddenly stopped, and the dissatisfied survivors suddenly felt like ducks being pinched by the neck. Each of them opened their eyes wide and looked at the cracks on the ground in disbelief.
Write a book
Taking advantage of this quiet moment, Xu Xiaoxiao continued unhurriedly.
"Any surgery has the risk of failure, let alone this kind of intensive surgery that can greatly enhance human body functions. If you feel dissatisfied, you don't have to sign up. No one is forcing you!"
"But you have to think clearly. Without the surgery provided by the military, if you are bitten by a zombie one day, or are infected with a secondary virus through other means, you will probably become a walking zombie!"
"After all, no matter how high the risk of surgery is, it is still not as high as the risk of natural immunity failure!"
After saying three words, the girl pulled her right leg out of the small pit and stood quietly on the spot.
She waited for more survivors to change their minds and join the search party.
After a while, a few restless heads appeared in the quiet crowd, moving in the direction of Wang Zidan.
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with joy, and he quickly added.
"According to Dr. Wang's statistics, the success rate of natural immunity is only about 5%, but if you undergo intensive surgery, the success rate can be increased to 50%..."
"Just imagine, if you were bitten by a zombie one day and unfortunately were infected with the virus, would you place your hope in the 5% natural immunity, or would you accept intensive surgery with a 50% success rate?"
As soon as these words came out, several registered survivors came out of the crowd.
Looking at the increasing number of people, Huang Bingtian showed a knowing smile on his face.
"As expected of Captain Xu's niece..."
According to Bai Donggu's expectations, there will be at least four teams involved in this in-depth search, and each team will have at least five people.
Counting the strengtheners behind Xu Xiaoxiao, they still need to recruit at least twelve survivors.
If this condition is not met, even if the materials can be collected safely, transportation will be a problem.
Only five survivors had signed up before, obviously failing to meet the requirements.
But now, after being called upon by the girl, as many as eleven survivors have joined the search team.
All it takes is one more, and the gathering of personnel for this in-depth search is complete.
But Huang Bingtian found that he seemed to be happy too early.
After the number of registered survivors reached eleven, not one more person emerged from the remaining crowd. They all shrank their necks, with faces full of expressions that had nothing to do with them.
What's more, he has already left the training ground early and is busy with his own affairs.
Seeing that no one came for the last spot, Huang Bingtian and Xu Xiaoxiao both had a look of anxiety on their faces.
Just when the two were about to say something more, there was a sound of shuffling footsteps behind them.
The girl looked back, and the anxiety on her face was immediately replaced by surprise.
"Boss Lu, why are you here?"
The person coming was none other than Lu Yu, and behind him were two old men in their seventies or eighties.
Nodding towards Xu Xiaoxiao, Lu Yu looked directly at Huang Bingtian.
"I've already said hello to Bai Donggu. This time I'll be the one to conduct an in-depth search."
As soon as the words came out, before Huang Bingtian could react, the two old men following Lu Yu spoke in unison.
"And we two old guys will also go with us."
"...Uh...this..."
Huang Bingtian, who was confused about the situation for a while, hesitated. Could it be that the Bai Discipline Inspection Commission had a clever plan and expected that they would not be able to gather enough survivors, so they asked Lu Yu and two old men to come and make up the number?
He could understand Lu Yu's joining. He heard from Bai Discipline Inspection Committee that although this person seemed to be a 'blank slate' and did not have any aura of an enhancer, his ability was actually not weaker than that of ordinary enhancers.
Letting young people join is also a good choice.
But who are the two old men at the back?
Is it possible that the shelter is so short of people that it needs the elderly to serve as strong laborers?
Huang Bingtian was thinking wildly in his mind and couldn't find any clues for a while.
Lu Yu had no intention of explaining, and took the two old men directly to Wang Zidan who was registering his name.
Wang Zidan didn't know as many inside stories as Huang Bingtian. When he saw someone joining, he naturally started doing his job in a strict manner.
"Name."
"Lu Yu." "Ordinary people?"
"Virus immune system."
"..."
After a simple question and answer, Wang Zidan couldn't help but be stunned.
He didn't think too much and directly reminded him subconsciously.
"If you have a virus immune system, you are just a blank slate. You will not be infected by the virus, and there is no need to undergo intensive surgery. Are you sure you want to join the search team?"
The reason why Wang Zidan asked such a question was mainly because he didn't know Lu Yu's situation.
Although the young man agreed to Bai Donggu to join the military force, he kept it secret.
Only people of Huang Bingtian's level would know something about it. In the eyes of other soldiers, Lu Yu was just an ordinary survivor.
"Yes, I want to join."
Faced with Wang Zidan's inquiry, Lu Yu naturally would not explain. His personality was not suitable for making friends, and of course, he did not like making friends either.
"Hey, young man, there is also me, Li Baiyi."
A fat old man with a goatee on his chin came closer and said with a kind face.
"Humph, there's also me, Xianyu Qi!"
The dark-faced old man on the side snorted, and the mustache on his lips raised slightly.
"……Well……"
Wang Zidan, who had not yet figured out the situation, was interrupted by the two old men, and his thoughts suddenly became more confused. The hand holding the pen hung on the paper, and he looked at Huang Bingtian as if asking for help.
"...Let's register first. Since we've greeted Bai Discipline Inspection Commission, there should be no problem..."
Huang Bingtian thought for a moment and said.
But the look on his face was obviously uncertain, so after a while, the soldier commander spoke again with some worry.
"The two elderly people joined the search team, was it also approved by the Bai Discipline Inspection Commission?"
"No, they two must follow me. I can't get rid of them..."
Staring at Wang Zidan writing his name on the list, Lu Yu raised his head and spoke calmly.
"What?!"
Huang Bingtian was stunned by Lu Yu's answer.
Aren't the two old men at the back appointed by Bai Donggu?
Then why are they joining in the fun?
Thinking that the two old men might have some misunderstanding, Huang Bingtian quickly adjusted his emotions and tried his best to put a friendly smile on his angry face.
"Um...two old men, we are going out to search for supplies. It is very dangerous. Are you two..."
"Hey, little friend, what do you mean by this? The two of us are just old, not dementia. We certainly know the dangers outside..."
Li Baiyi frowned slightly, gently stroked his goatee with one hand, and spoke.
"Uh... you know it's dangerous outside, but you still want to sign up?"
Huang Bingtian was even more confused. It seemed that the other party knew what he was doing, so why did he insist on going out?
Their search team is indeed short of manpower, but they can't recruit two old men to join the team!
Isn't it obvious that this is just to feed the zombies outside?
Just when Huang Bingtian wanted to say something to dissuade him, the two old men took the first step, grabbed the pen from Wang Zidan's hand, and wrote their names on the paper with flying colors.
Without waiting for the confused soldiers to speak, the two of them turned around, put their hands behind their backs, and strode out.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to tell Lu Yu.
"Little friend Lu Yu, when the time comes to set off, don't forget to call us two old bones..."
