CHAPTER 545: 449 WHO IS HUA XIUNING?

Captain Zhao’s team members nodded and rubbed their hands together, just waiting to leave the safe zone to make a huge move.

"Also, I heard Xiang City Base is planning to resume education. The children in this safe zone can be sent there to study."

A teammate who was well-informed said,

"I’ve been seeing Boss Huo frequently moving around in our safe zone these days, and the news came from him."

"If Boss Huo said it, it must be true, but resume education in the apocalypse?"

Captain Zhao sneered, "How many kids in the apocalypse are left without losing arms or legs? What’s the use of educating these disabled kids? It’s all just for show."

It could be said that in this cruel world, the group that was harmed the most was undoubtedly the children.

Children who were slightly sensible had seen too much cruelty of the apocalypse in these two years, their minds were already deformed. Who could actually sit in a classroom and study peacefully?

Even younger children had been mostly broken by the calamities of the apocalypse.

They were really just a burden to their families because they were too ignorant to understand the dangers of surviving in the apocalypse.

Didn’t their parents need to go out and fight Mutant Beasts to earn Crystal Cores?

When their parents were out fighting and earning Crystal Cores, the ignorant crying of the children easily attracted zombies or Mutant Beasts.

In such situations, should adults escape with their children and face death together in a Zombie Tide or a Mutated Beast Tide?

Or should they abandon their children and run away alone?

After all, the cries of the children could still delay the encirclement and interception by zombies and Mutant Beasts for a while.

Thus, human nature was something no one needed to think about; it was better left understood among all.

Now that Xiang City Base was pushing for education, there probably weren’t many survivors who could really support it.

Yet a teammate held a different view,

"Captain, think about it, the administrative layer of Xiang City Base all have children."

"Not only do Hua Mi and Gong Yi have two kids, but Qin Zhen also has a son, and I heard that Zhou Cheng, who used to be close friends with Gong Yi, his wife is pregnant."

"Who is Zhou Cheng’s wife?"

Captain Zhao looked puzzled; he had heard of Zhou Cheng, who was currently mainly responsible for leading the garrison outside to attack Mutant Beasts and zombies.

Sometimes they in the safe zone could even see Zhou Cheng.

"It’s said to be a secretary who stayed close to Qin Zhen, previously worked under Hua Mi for a while, what’s her name... I’m not quite sure, she’s also a tough character. She’s pregnant, and the child has to be born, right?"

"So, Xiang City Base is pushing for education now, just for the children of this batch of administrators."

Captain Zhao nodded, "So? What does that have to do with us? We’re developing quite well here in the safe zone."

The teammate looked frustrated as though dealing with a fool, "Exactly, think about it, if people from our team send their children to the school they set up, wouldn’t our team’s children become classmates with the ones Gong Yi and Hua Mi have?"

"This isn’t about the present; it’s about the future. We can’t stay in this safe zone forever, right? We’ve got to move out eventually, step by step, aim higher."

"Now we can’t meet Hua Mi and Gong Yi, and we can’t connect with them, but what if our children become classmates with theirs and happen to have a special relationship with the children of Xiang City Base’s management? Wouldn’t everything be different then?"

The speaking teammate winked at Captain Zhao.

Captain Zhao immediately understood and clapped his hands,

"Yes, you can’t catch a wolf without baiting it. Hurry up and see how many children are in our team, send them all to the school opened by Xiang City Base to befriend those kids from the management level."

The teammate nodded immediately and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, the issue that Captain Zhao and the others were contemplating also lingered in Qu Shiheng’s mind.

Waiting for his teammates to come out, Qu Shiheng carefully inquired about the reopening of education by Xiang City’s management.

His teammate scoffed at this, "Always creating these flashy things, for sure they just want to snag some Crystal Cores from the survivors."

Qu Shiheng, however, listened intently and asked in detail about the reopening of education at Xiang City Base.

Qu Shiheng spoke with a cold demeanor and a hint of irony,

"Do you have a way to let me enter the education system at Xiang City Base?"

His teammates exchanged glances, and one of them stepped forward,

"Captain, infiltrating this education system directly might be difficult, but since Xiang City Base is reopening education, it’s not impenetrable."

This teammate, eager to please, said, "Captain, a recent ex-girlfriend of mine got in touch. She told me she passed the exam to become a dance teacher in this education system, and she’s recently been chosen, very likely to be teaching Xiuning."

"Who is Xiuning?"

"That’s the daughter of Gong Yi and Hua Mi."

Hearing this, Qu Shiheng’s brows tinged with deep scheming,

"Maintain a good relationship with your ex-girlfriend, we might need her someday."

After the events in E City, Qu Shiheng had become much more profound in his thinking.

He knew he couldn’t defeat Hua Mi and Gong Yi now, but there was still a lot of time. As long as he could remain patient and endure, one day he would find an opportunity to take everything from the hands of Hua Mi and Gong Yi.

Qu Shiheng, ambitious, activated his Superpower Users, expanding his connections and striving to establish a foothold in this large safety zone.

The dailies of this large safety zone were written into the work log by Yang Honglin every day.

Each week, he compiled a weekly summary and delivered it to Gong Yi...

Hua Mi held her two children’s hands as she entered the living room, helping her toddling older brother and younger sister. Just then, she saw Gong Yi holding Yang Honglin’s weekly summary.

Gong Yi, frowning, watched as the younger sister, seeing her father, giggled and released Hua Mi’s fingers, spreading her plump, short arms and lunging toward him.

Boss Gong was much more stable, firmly holding Hua Mi’s fingers, ensuring every step on the path was solid.

Hua Mi sighed as the younger sister stumbled, about to face-plant on the floor.

But just as she was about to fall, her little chubby body floated up and flew into Gong Yi’s arms.

Xiuning laughed even more joyfully, even flipping in mid-air.
