Noticing the tense situation, Zhang Yuan looked at his captain and asked, "Captain, what do you think about them?"
Jin Xuyan tapped his fingers on the armrest as he observed the children. From their gazes, he detected anger and hostility. Their loyalty lay with Gu Shaoze.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Comrade Gu, we can’t accept your team."
"Why not?" Gu Shaoze asked with surprise.
There were lots of teams recruiting people right now. As long as you were an ability-user, you could join any team.
While he knew that it wasn’t easy to join the Phantom team, he was sure that with so many ability-users in his team, they would be able to join. Unexpectedly, they were rejected.
Jin Xuyan looked at the children and said, "My team only accepts members who are loyal to me and the team. Those who are loyal to others, no matter how strong or rare their abilities are, are useless in my eyes."
Hearing these words, Gu Shaoze was taken aback and turned to look at the children. The moment he met their gazes, they finally understood his words.
He was delighted by their loyalty, but he also felt helpless. He didn’t have the ability to take care of so many children, and even if he did, what he was doing was dangerous. Bringing them with him would put them in danger.
He turned to Jin Xuyan and said, "Captain Jin, I can promise you that the children will follow your orders and be loyal to the team."
"Comrade Gu, I don’t trust empty promises. At this moment, I can see that your team members are hostile toward my team. I don’t want to waste my time and effort on people who are unworthy," Jin Xuyan said nonchalantly.
After a moment of pause, he added, "If you insist on joining my team, it’s not impossible. But you have to pass my test first."
"What test?" Gu Shaoze asked.
"Comrade Gu, we are going to clear out the zombie horde and will leave at noon. If your team wants to join mine, you only need to follow us and show us your team’s capability. When you prove that you are worthy, I will welcome you," Jin Xuyan replied casually.
Hearing this, Rong Mo’er frowned and said, "The number of zombies is more than 30,000. Bringing the children with us will put them in danger."
As soon as she finished her words, Jiao Lizhi asked, "Sister, you don’t plan to continue shielding the children, do you?"
"They are still young. There is nothing wrong with protecting them," Rong Mo’er replied.
Jiao Lizhi chuckled at her words and said, "Sister, we are facing an apocalypse. You might be able to protect them for a while, but can you protect them forever?"
"Not to mention outside, even inside the safety zone, there is no guarantee that they won’t face danger. Unless you stay with them 24 hours a day, it’s impossible to fully protect them. What you are doing right now is harming them."
