Early the next morning, the Phantom team woke up at dawn and finished checking their equipment and had breakfast when the sun rose on the eastern horizon.
Jiao Lizhi went to find her fiancé and said, "Brother Yan, what do you think we should do about the children and the teachers?"
Jin Xuyan thought for a moment and said, "Let’s meet them first."
"Okay."
The two of them went to the clock tower and saw the children were still sleeping in the hall. As for the teachers, they woke up the moment they heard the footsteps.
After the apocalypse, they never slept peacefully at night. They often woke up in the middle of the night due to nightmares or fear. Therefore, besides looking pale, they also had huge black circles under their eyes.
When the teachers saw Jiao Lizhi, they heaved a sigh of relief. One of them stood up and asked, "Comrade, do you need anything from us?"
"Teacher, this is my fiancé, also the captain of my team. I have told him about your situation. Today, we came to discuss something with all of you," Jiao Lizhi said.
Hearing her words, the teachers’ eyes lit up, and one of them asked, "Comrade, are you going to escort us to the base?"
Jin Xuyan shook his head and replied, "It’s impossible for my team to escort you and the children. Even if we want to help you, we have our own mission to do. So, you have to depend on yourselves to go to the base. But we can give you weapons and help you find cars or buses."
The moment they heard this, they were disappointed, but they understood the situation. Having weapons and a vehicle would make their trip easier.
The teachers exchanged glances, and one of them said, "Thank you for your help, Comrade. We will go by ourselves."
Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "You should wake up the children and eat something first. My team will prepare the vehicles and weapons. When you and the children are ready, just find us in the parking lot."
"Okay."
After leaving the clock tower, Jin Xuyan gathered his members and said, "There are fifty children and four teachers in the clock tower. We will send them to the base, so we need to find two buses."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan asked, "Captain, who will escort them?"
"We won’t escort them. We will give them weapons and let them go by themselves," Jin Xuyan replied.
The members exchanged glances, but no one said a word. After all, this time they were going to the capital to find their family members.
With this thought, the members agreed with their captain’s decision.
Qin Luzi checked his map and was surprised to find out that the green dots in his map were actually the children and not the teachers. Out of fifty children, there were six children who had awakened their abilities.
He pointed at the children and said, "Captain, those children are ability-users."
Jin Xuyan and the team members were taken aback by his words. The children he pointed out were only seven or eight years old. If not for his map, just looking at how timid they were, no one would realize that the children had abilities.
The potential of the children was limitless. Unfortunately, they were young and didn’t understand how to use their abilities. Therefore, lots of children who had awakened their abilities still died prematurely at the beginning of the apocalypse.
Thinking about his plan, Jin Xuyan turned to Li Qixuan and said, "Since they are ability-users, when you reach the base, inform Xun Che about them and ask him to take good care of them."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan asked, "Captain, are you planning to recruit the children?"
Jin Xuyan didn’t give him a confirmative reply and said, "That would depend on their behavior. Even if they are ability-users, our team won’t accept those with timid personalities and weak will power."
While they were discussing the children’s future, the teachers heard their words and noted down the children who had awakened their abilities. As their teachers, they sincerely hoped they would have a backing and survive this living hell.
