"How is Shen Zhen doing? Is he going to be okay?" Qi Long was more worried about the awakening soldier than whether others could awaken as well or become stronger.
Chu Miao understood that Shen Zhen should be the awakening soldier on the floor.
"He will be fine, but the process may take a while and it is obviously painful. Once he stops thrashing, take him back to a room in the cabin and let him rest there. We are almost at the small district where we are going to collect supplies today, so you guys get ready." Chu Miao instructed before going back into the helm of the yacht.
The members who had joined today’s expedition felt lucky to have witnessed a few extraordinary scenes today. Not to mention their encounter with the fish, the medicine they received was divine. Also, learning that they can still awaken if they worked harder was a reward and a motivation for those who had failed to gain superpowers during the first wave of the fog that led to the awakening of superpowers.
Before Ye Xuan could dock the boat outside the street filled with four or five story buildings, Qi Long had two other soldiers take the awakening soldier to the cabin. Chu Hao followed behind and provided dry clothes for him to change into to avoid getting sick immediately after gaining a superpower.
The two soldiers stripped him off his wet clothes and put dry ones on him before covering him with a blanket and leaving.
The yacht had already stopped and docked at the entrance of the street and Chu Miao stood at the deck scanning a two kilometer radius of where they were with her divine sense. She didn’t want any surprises that might result in her people getting hurt.
She didn’t feel the same unease she felt the last time, thus, she concluded that whatever had been hiding in the dark last time was gone.
Her investigation showed her the situation in the buildings within two kilometers of where they were. She found a few zombies, some of those big fish that might have escaped the net, and a few mutated rats. Nothing that could really threaten their lives.
Hence, she just warned her people to be careful when they enter the building because there were some hidden dangers in some of them. She did not specify what kind of danger and which places had the most danger because she wanted them to raise their vigilance when they go out to look for supplies. Not just today, but in the future too even if she was not accompanying the team.
After getting their instructions, Chu Hao released several motor boats and had the people on the boat form smaller teams of four to take one boat and explore a building at a time.
He also provided other gears such as diving equipment and oxygen masks to enable them to navigate their way underwater without too many obstacles.
After picking up their gears, the people formed teams and boarded the motor boats.
"Once you have enough supplies, don’t force yourself and come back. If you feel that there are still more supplies you can get from your location and still feel that you have the strength to keep going, bring back the supplies you already collected and unload them then you can head back.
If you can’t find anything, don’t stress yourself and just chrome back. Take whatever you can. Also, nothing is useless. It doesn’t matter whether you think that the things you found are worthless, bring them back and we can sort them out to distinguish what can be used and what needs recycling.
You can go now and remember to be careful. There are still dangers hidden in every step you take, don’t be careless." Chu Miao instructed the twenty-plus people who had boarded the motor boats and waved her hand indicating for them to leave.
After everyone had left, Chu Miao turned to Ye Xuan and asked, "Do you want to go look around? We can check to see if we find anything useful."
"Mmm....Let’s go take a look." Ye Xuan didn’t really care about what they would find because he felt that their team didn’t lack anything. He just wanted to spend some alone time with his girlfriend and spending it anywhere was fine with him as long as they were together.
"Big brother, you watch the yacht and don’t go anywhere in case someone comes back. You also have to be careful. I know your superpower is advanced and your cultivation has also improved but we never know what is hiding in the dark and how powerful it could be. So, watch your back at all times.
If anything happens that you can’t handle alone, contact me. We won’t be far, so calling out would suffice." Chu Miao also gave her brother proper instructions before disappearing with her boyfriend.
Chu Hao wanted to curse when he saw the two of them disappear on the spot. Were they bullying him because he didn’t have a girlfriend? He was going to catch up to Chichi and then he would like to see how they can then be so complacent in front of him.
Wait... why did he think about that girl when he thought of having a girlfriend? He had just thought that he had a good impression of her. That’s why when Chu Miao suggested befriending her and inviting her over to their house to give him opportunities to talk to her, he had agreed lightly.
Now, it seemed that he had other feelings for the girl. Even though Chu Hao was silly sometimes, he had the Chu family bloodline flowing through his veins. Thus, just like Chu Miao, he wasn’t going to dilly-dally questioning his feelings. Since he liked her, he was going to pursue her boldly. If she accepted him, fine, if she didn’t, he would keep working hard until she did.
