Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Still Too Weak
After a while, Zhou Kai raised his head, his eyes filled with reluctance and stubbornness, “I’m still too weak…”
Xu Siming muttered gloomily, “Lack of actual combat experience is a major weakness. Although my superpower level is high, I’m not skilled in using it and can’t unleash its true power.”
Qi Hao lowered his head guiltily, “I have been complacent, always satisfied with the status quo. Thinking that I had teammates during training, slacking off wouldn’t kill me, so I never took it seriously.”
Ji Xing shrugged and spread his hands, “Maybe my thinking isn’t mature enough yet. I always feel that these things are not important, so I never feel any pressure, nor do I have an urgent desire to become stronger, which naturally means I don’t give my all during training.”
When everyone had finished speaking, they all turned to look at Xia Li, who was staring straight ahead.
The latter shifted her eyes, her face serious, “I agree with Zhou Kai’s opinion, we are still too weak!!”
Everyone: “…”
Forget it, one should never expect an emotionless zombie harvester to provide any analysis…
After everyone had spoken, Ji Wanwan nodded, “Everyone’s analysis makes sense. Ultimately, the reason this battle was so embarrassing is because we were too arrogant and reckless.
Failure is not terrible. What’s terrifying is our inability to accurately understand the reasons for our failures.”
After all, those sitting here are just a group of inexperienced young people who were carefree children in their homes before the apocalypse yet now must stand on their own here.
Ji Wanwan never thought they weren’t outstanding because she knew that mortals become deities through the trials of time.
She looked at everyone, her gaze fervent and sincere, “Now that the refuge is growing larger and more people are entering, the burden on our shoulders will grow heavier, but I believe, as long as you are here, the refuge will only get better! We will definitely be able to help more people survive the apocalypse!”
“Definitely!”
“It will be!”
“Towards a common goal! Charge!”
“Charge!”
“Charge!!”
The mood of the group lifted from the low spirits and gloom earlier.
As Ji Wanwan said, failure is not to be feared, as long as we have the courage to stand up again, everything is still possible!
The necessary alarms were sounded, the morale that needed boosting was lifted, and Ji Wanwan asked 001 to bring the map of the base, discussing future plans for the base with everyone.
Currently, there aren’t many people at the base, and the small team’s main mission is still zombie hunting training.
Once more people are at the base later, Ji Wanwan plans to have the small team members manage several core affairs of the base.
After quickly making arrangements, Ji Wanwan declared the meeting adjourned, telling everyone to go back and rest early.
As a few people were about to leave, Ji Wanwan looked at Xu Siming, “Senior Brother Xu, stay for a moment, I have something to tell you.”
Xu Siming, who had just stood up, was slightly startled and sat down again, “Okay.”
Qi Hao’s ears perked up immediately, eagerly looking at Ji Wanwan and him.
Zhou Kai frowned disdainfully, thinking to himself: How pathetic…
Although that’s what he thought, he subconsciously glanced toward Ji Wanwan.
Seeing that Ji Wanwan had no intention of keeping him, Qi Hao reluctantly dragged his feet and slowly went back to the second floor of the small building.
With everyone gone, Xu Siming became uneasy, “What does Xiao Wan want to tell me?”
Ji Wanwan beckoned to Xu Siming, patting the seat next to her.
Is this??
She wants me to sit next to her?
Xu Siming’s face turned red, he hesitated a moment, struggling to keep his lips from curving up, and sat down next to Ji Wanwan with a bit of restraint.
As soon as he sat down, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the girl was moving closer to him.
Xu Siming’s heartbeat accelerated instantly, and he could even smell the pleasant scent of shampoo from the girl.
While he was still stunned, his hand was gently grasped by a soft and fair hand.
Xu Siming felt like he was smoking.
Could it be his turn for a sweet romance too?
The next second, Ji Wanwan looked at him gravely, “Senior Brother, try to stimulate the energy within you and see if it can circulate inside me without harming me!”
The flustered Xu Siming: “Ah? Ah??”
Listening to Ji Wanwan explaining the cause and effect, Xu Siming somberly injected a gentle Water Element energy into her body.
Luckily, he hadn’t acted too flirtatiously just now, otherwise, how would he face Xiao Wan in the future…
And Qi Hao, that boy, if he knew how much he had overacted just now, he would surely die laughing.
Meanwhile, Ji Wanwan, unaware of what Xu Siming was thinking, concentrated solely on sensing the energy.
Xu Siming’s control over the energy had grown much stronger compared to when he had first grasped it. Even so, when the Water Elemental Superpower first entered Ji Wanwan’s body, she still felt a damp chill.
This feeling was not too uncomfortable, but it was certainly not pleasant.
Under Ji Wanwan’s guidance, Xu Siming gradually controlled the intensity, slowly making the circulating Water Energy inside Ji Wanwan’s body feel less discomforting.

Watching the pale blue glow of energy circulating through the veins, Ji Wanwan felt somewhat dazed.
She had only known energy as something that could harm people; she hadn’t realized that energy could also save people. Perhaps she needed to change her fixed mindset and re-evaluate this apocalypse…
The next day.
At 8 AM, Ji Wanwan arrived punctually at the armory where a Wood Element Superpower User had been waiting outside for a long time.
Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, Ji Wanwan raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t I ask you to go get room 001 for accommodation? Why are you still guarding the operating room?”
The man turned his head slightly unnaturally: “I’m worried about Xiao Lu. If an infection occurs, I can deal with it immediately in the operating room.”
The day before, Ji Wanwan had used Equivalence Healing to heal most of Xiao Lu’s wounds; even if an infection occurred, it wouldn’t quickly become fatal.
The man said this, probably because he was strapped for cash and too embarrassed to say anything.
Ji Wanwan saw through his embarrassment but did not expose him: “You are thoughtful; let’s go, the sooner we go, the sooner we return.”
She opened the door to the armory and led the man to select weapons.
Seeing the room full of equipment, the man was moved but even more shocked.
This young lady had so many weapons!
It made no sense for her to be so low-profile!
If it had been him, he probably would have already taken control of all the small factions around.
But at this moment, forced by the situation, he didn’t have time to think too much.
After selecting the weapons, Ji Wanwan and the man drove to the suburban underground gambling den.
Midway through the drive, Ji Wanwan suddenly realized something was wrong: “This isn’t the way to the underground gambling den!”
The man nodded: “Right, we’re going to Zudao Xiang Bath City first to get two passes.”
Ji Wanwan squinted slightly, looking at the scenery outside the car window, silently memorizing the route.
Xiao Lu was still in the refuge; the man surely wouldn’t dare to play any tricks.
Approaching Bath City, Ji Wanwan noticed there were no zombies on the streets, indicating that a superpower user was likely in charge of the area.
The man’s muscles also visibly tensed: “Boss Ji, did you bring any money or Crystal Cores?”
Ji Wanwan nodded slightly: “Naturally.”
If one came empty-handed to a place like the Black Market, they would probably be thrown out before even getting inside.
The man nodded: “Alright, let’s get out and grab those passes.”
Just as they got out of the car, two men came out of Bath City’s entrance, one lean and one muscular. Their examining gazes fell on Ji Wanwan and her companion, especially on Ji Wanwan—a woman, the lean man’s gaze held a hint of ill intent…
