"No need to thank me. We're all on the same team." Su Nian smiled, then walked over and picked up the fire axe.
Zhao Feng looked at Su Nian, his eyes filled with a little more respect. "I didn't expect you to react so quickly. Looks like we all underestimated you."
Jiang Che came over to Su Nian and handed her a bottle of water. "Drink plenty of water. Don't wear yourself out." His voice carried a hint of concern that was hard to detect.
Su Nian took the water, feeling a little sweetness in her heart, and nodded. "Mm."
Over the next few hours, the group worked together with growing coordination. Jiang Che's lightning ability was unstoppable, Zhao Feng's earthen walls formed an impregnable defense, Zhou Ya's vines ensnared their targets with pinpoint accuracy, and Sun Qiang's strength enhancement made him fearsome. Su Nian kept watch, warning everyone of ambushes while collecting the corpses of mutated creatures.
By noon, the mutated creatures on all three streets had been more or less cleared out. People from the base came to collect the corpses and award them points: 1,500 in total, split evenly among the five of them, giving each person 300 points.
"Great! Three hundred points can get us quite a lot!" Zhou Ya said happily. "I'm going to trade for some seeds and try growing vegetables in the shelter. I can't stand eating compressed biscuits all the time."
Zhao Feng said with a smile, "I'm going to trade for some tools and strengthen my earthen-wall ability. Then I won't have to fear stronger mutated creatures next time."
Sun Qiang scratched his head. "I want to trade for some dried meat. I haven't eaten meat in ages."
Jiang Che turned to Su Nian. "What do you want to trade for?"
Su Nian thought for a moment. "I want some gauze and iodine, as well as some canned fruit, to help Liu Mei's daughter, Duoduo, get some nutrition.
