Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge

It was clear that Wen Yuheng was feeling very guilty.

According to the intelligence collected by Zhou Kai recently, Wen Yuheng had been trying very hard.

Perhaps in Hu Die’s heart, the faith that Baize Union instilled was far more important than emotions.

Ji Wanwan rubbed her brow, "At least, the fact that Hu Die doesn’t hurt you puts us at an advantage."

Wen Yuheng was slightly taken aback and incredulously looked up at Ji Wanwan, thinking he might’ve misheard her.

Miss Ji wasn’t blaming him?

Over here, Ji Wanwan turned to Zhou Kai and Xu Siming, who understood and left the more logical Zhou Kai to report, "Aside from those present, the base still has 127 people, among which 36 are superpower awakeners.

Among these 36, there are 6 with Gold Element Superpowers, 8 with Wood Element Superpowers, 7 with Water Elemental Superpowers, 5 with Fire Superpowers, and 10 with Earth Superpowers.

Regarding Superpower Levels, we have 1 Level 5 Fire Superpower user, 1 Level 4 Gold Element Superpower user, 1 Level 4 Water Element Superpower user, and 1 Level 4 Earth Superpower user. The levels of the others are all below 4, so I won’t elaborate on those.

Looking at the current superpower awakeners at the base, there are more defense and support type superpower users than attack type. Based on this trait, Xu Siming and I have divided the superpower users into three teams—

Defense, Offense, Support.

Each team consists of twelve people, with the Defense Team mainly comprising Earth Element Superpower Users known for their defensive strength, arranged as: 6 Earth, 2 Gold, 2 Wood, 1 Water, 1 Fire, primarily responsible for vanguard duties.

The Offense Team is arranged as: 3 Gold, 2 Wood, 2 Water, 3 Fire, 2 Earth, primarily responsible as the main combat force.

The Support Team is arranged as: 1 Gold, 4 Wood, 4 Water, 1 Fire, 2 Earth, solely responsible for combat support and healing.

The Level 5 Fire Superpower user and the Level 4 Gold Element Superpower user are in the Offense Team, the Level 4 Water Element Superpower user is in the Support Team, and the Level 4 Earth Superpower user is in the Defense Team.

The teams are well-organized, but no team leaders have been appointed yet."

Zhou Kai looked towards Ji Wanwan, "I suggest that the team leaders be appointed from among us present here. After all, knowing each other well reduces the probability of unexpected issues."

Ji Wanwan nodded slightly, directly approving the team arrangement, "Brother Wen, Ah Li, and I will go to the Offense Team, and I will be the team leader for the Offense Team.

Brother Wu and the Senior will go to the Defense Team, with the Senior as the Defense Team leader.

Xingxing, Ming Jing, and Haozi will go to the Support Team, with Haozi and Xingxing as co-leaders of the Support Team.

Brother Kai will remain in the rear, overseeing the coordination of ordinary people without awakened abilities, ensuring the logistics work."

This allocation, however, did not sit well with everyone.

Xu Siming was the first to stand up, "Wanwan! I have a Level 10 Water Element Superpower. I should be with you in the Offense Team!"

Qi Hao was the second to rise, "Wanwan! The battlefield is dangerous. I want to personally use my Earth Superpower to protect your safety. Let me join the Offense Team!"

Zhou Kai’s face darkened as he stood up third, "Boss Ji, I do not need special consideration. I can also participate in the fight!"

Ji Wanwan sighed, "I know you’re anxious, but don’t rush things. Everyone, please sit down first!"

This was the first time Ji Wanwan used such a stern tone to admonish them, and the three men immediately quieted down, obediently sitting down without a word.

Ji Wanwan pinched her nose bridge and first looked towards Xu Siming, "Senior, as the vanguard, the Defense Team also needs strong capabilities. If we concentrate all the combat power in the Offense Team and the other teams all get wiped out, do you think just us, a dozen plus in the Offense Team, can defeat the entire Baize Union?"

Then to Qi Hao, "Haozi! And you! This battle is not a trivial matter, being emotional will only harm yourself!"

Qi Hao’s face flushed, "It’s not about being emotional..."

"To me, whether the base is safe or not, I really don’t care, I only care about whether you’re safe."

"Perhaps in your eyes, this is being emotional, but in my eyes, this is exactly what I should be doing."

Ji Wanwan understood Qi Hao’s feelings, "Brother Qi Hao, I know your concerns, but don’t worry, I will protect myself. I promise you, I’ll be fine, but you also have to promise me that you will be fine too."

Brother Qi Hao...

Ever since Wanwan started high school, she had stopped calling him Brother Qi Hao. But in such moments when Wanwan called him Brother Qi Hao, it only made his heart sour.

He didn’t know when it started, but the little girl he watched grow up had gradually become a young lady. She no longer stuck to him, asking for sweets or acting coquettishly for a hug.

The young girl was becoming smarter and more mature, yet the smile on her face was becoming rarer and their relationship was growing weaker.

Although she was so frail and slender, she had to shoulder the hopes of so many people with these thin shoulders.

Perhaps everyone wanted her to be a hero, but he was reluctant to see her struggling so. If possible, he wished Ji Wanwan could return to being the carefree young girl she once was.

He knew his strength was not strong, and forcibly staying by Wanwan’s side was likely not to help her, and might even become a hindrance to her.

But his beating heart wasn’t under his control.

The pain of desperately wanting to stay by her side consumed his rationality bit by bit, causing him to lose himself, becoming a fool, an idiot, a madman...

But since Wanwan had called him Brother Qi Hao, how could he not agree to her request?

Feeling a tearing pain in his chest, Qi Hao took a deep breath and forced a barely pleasant smile, "Okay, I’ll join the support team."

Ji Wanwan masked the guilt in her eyes and turned to look at Zhou Kai, "Brother Kai, do you think working in logistics is special treatment for you?"

Zhou Kai’s jaw clenched tight, his expression uncompromising, clearly showing his displeasure.

A man born on the clouds, how could he willingly accept such special treatment!

Seeing everyone awaken their superpowers but himself left unawakened was already torturous enough for the proud Zhou Kai; not allowing him to go to the battlefield was undoubtedly the last straw.

He would rather die standing than live cowardly hiding behind a woman!

Seeing that he didn’t respond, Ji Wanwan wasn’t annoyed, "Brother Kai, with your broad knowledge and vision, you should understand the importance of logistics work more than I do.

The base is huge and if there’s no one trustworthy to help me oversee everything from behind, I won’t feel at ease facing the enemy."

Zhou Kai moved his lips, unimpressed by Ji Wanwan’s flattery, "You can find someone else you trust. I see that Ji Xing has been helping you manage the base quite well recently. Let me switch with him!"

Ji Xing: "?Don’t cue me!"

Ji Wanwan laughed in frustration as she had never seen such a stubborn person so eager to rush to his death, "Brother Kai, the front line is where people die, do you understand that?"

Zhou Kai: "Do I look like someone silly?"

Ji Wanwan: "... Okay, then let me speak plainly, Brother Kai, you haven’t awakened your superpower. Once the fighting starts on the front line, no one will be able to keep an eye on you, and by then, you would likely be on a path to death. Even so, do you still wish to go?"

Zhou Kai’s expression was resolute, "Yes!"

Ji Wanwan, exasperated by the stubborn man, saw stars before her eyes, "OK, then you and Xingxing switch places, you go to the support team, and Xingxing will handle logistics."

Ji Xing: "?I really can thank you!"
