Chapter 440 Xiao Shi and Xiao He
The interviews continued.
The second person to step forward was a woman in her thirties, with short hair and an ordinary face, but her eyes held a composure rarely seen in the apocalypse.
"Xu Lan, Sequence 2 - Dream Weaver".
As Xu Lan stepped forward, Xu Si clearly felt the 'Nightmare' beside him move slightly.
Fu Xiaojian raised an eyebrow slightly.
His rhythm of continuously absorbing the strange falling objects was also disrupted.
"Dreamweaver?" Fu Xiaojian repeated the sequence name, raising an eyebrow slightly.
"What are its specific characteristics?"
"Weaving dreams".
"Hypnosis, you know? It can make people whose sequence is not higher than mine get lost in their dreams, and it can also re-weave memories! But the effect is limited..." she said.
"Weaving memories?" Fu Xiaojian pondered.
The effect of weaving dreams should be similar to that of Fu Ruoxue's sleeping potion. If this is still within expectations, then weaving memories is somewhat terrifying.
Sequence 2 may only be the tip of the iceberg now, but what about when it's fully developed?
Fu Xiaojian couldn't imagine it.
"What are your reasons for joining another team? Do you also want to improve your skills?"
Even though he had already made up his mind, Fu Xiaojian still asked the question.
"Who doesn't want to improve their strength? Why should women be protected? Why should women be the last ones to survive?" He seemed to be thinking about something painful, and became somewhat agitated.
Fu Xiaojian and Shao Bing exchanged a glance; they hadn't expected to be asked a question in return.
Is this world crazy?
Is female consciousness beginning to awaken?
Is that correct?
"What, can't I?" Xu Lan retorted, then realized her tone was a bit harsh, took a deep breath, and softened her voice.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't targeting you. I just..."
Fu Xiaojian waved his hand, indicating that it was alright.
In the apocalypse, who doesn't carry a few scars in their heart? Who hasn't crawled out of bloody ruins?
"Our team welcomes you to join us, but joining our team requires signing a contract. I need to make this clear to you beforehand. Of course, there won't be any unfair terms; it's mainly about not betraying the team and keeping the team's secrets!" Shao Bing continued.
"Can you accept this?"
In the past two days, DouDou's contract has become one of the most popular items on the market.
Basically every racing team purchases some, so they are quite familiar to everyone.
"I accept." Xu Lan nodded, her eyes resolute.
"Alright, welcome." Shao Bing extended his hand.
Xu Lan grasped it; her palm was icy cold, but her grip was firm.
Then another seven or eight people came up for interviews, some of whom had interesting sequences.
For example, a young man named Qian Duoduo, Sequence 2 - Accountant.
Its characteristic is "balanced income and expenditure," which can adjust the efficiency of resource allocation within a certain range. Simply put, it allows the same amount of resources to be used for a longer period of time after passing through its hands.
Fu Xiaojian almost lost his composure. Wasn't this just a post-apocalyptic version of a finance director?
Received.
For example, there is a strong man named Sun Dali, who is a laborer in Sequence 2.
Its special features are "light load" and "team transport". The former allows him to carry heavy objects far exceeding his body size, while the latter allows teammates within ten meters to share the load.
And they witnessed firsthand how the Sequence 2 laborers were able to lift the gigantic tower.
Then Tashan made the decision to accept it immediately.
For example, there's a young man named Zhou Xiaodao, Sequence 3 - Assassin.
Its special abilities are "Stealth", "Backstab", and "Critical Strike".
This is almost identical to the scout sequence of the Zhou army we encountered back then.
This kid was completely useless on the train, because Jiang Xiaobai never resorted to assassination; he always confronted the strange head-on.
He was going crazy from holding it in.
Considering that the team would lack scouting talent after Xu Si left, Fu Xiaojian also took him in.
The interview lasted for nearly two hours, and the salary train team only accepted this one person.
Other options either don't work out of sequence or the person doesn't work out.
Not long after the Xinhuo team started interviewing, other teams also noticed something was wrong, after all, talent is hard to come by.
So they immediately started poaching players, and the salary train team gradually calmed down.
Five players are enough to boost the future potential of the salary train team.
"Is there something you need?"
As the crowd dispersed and Fu Xiaojian and Shao Bing prepared to turn and leave, Jiao Jiao noticed that two children had squeezed over in front of their interview table.
A smaller brother is holding the hand of an even smaller sister.
The older brother is probably only as old as Yao Yao, while the younger sister is even younger.
Fu Xiaojian and Shao Bing exchanged a glance and walked to the stone table. They really didn't know what was going on with these two little guys.
Surely someone who's survived this long must have had adult supervision, right? But it doesn't seem like it!
Xu Si noticed something and floated over.
Both of these little guys are Sequence Extraordinary.
"We...want to join the team too," the older brother said, his voice much more mature than other children his age. The little girl shrank behind him like a little penguin.
Jiao Jiao looked down at the two little ones, her brows furrowed.
"You guys? How old are you?"
"I am seven years old, and my sister is four years old."
"My name is Xiao Shi, and her name is Xiao He."
Judging from their tone, the two are probably not siblings.
"What sequence is she?" Xu Si asked, pointing at his sister.
As for his brother, he sensed energy fluctuations from him that belonged to the same [Guardian Sequence] as Uncle Fu.
As for Xiao He?
He sensed a special fluctuation in sequence energy!
Xiao Shi paused for a moment, looked down at Xiao He behind him, then looked up at Xu Si, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Xiao He? You've awakened too? When?"
Xiao He didn't say anything.
"Xiao He, she can't speak... she doesn't have a sequence."
Xu Si saw his own reflection in him.
He didn't explain, but simply squatted down and looked at the little girl.
Xiao He looked to be only three or four years old, as thin as a kitten that hadn't fully grown. Her hair was dry and yellow, and her face was covered in dust. However, her eyes were unusually large, and something seemed to be slowly rotating deep within her dark pupils.
"Has she always been quiet?"
This was asked of Xiao Shi.
"She hasn't said a word since I met her!"
Xiao He hid behind her brother, her little hands tightly gripping Xiao Shi's clothes, her face full of fear.
Xu Si didn't rush to speak, but just quietly looked at her.
"She must be protecting you!" Xu Si roughly guessed what kind of ability the little girl possessed.
It's either a forceful rule-making ability like "words become law" or a rule-based ability with extremely strong restrictive power and high harmfulness.
That's why she didn't want to talk.
Perhaps she suffered severe trauma in this regard.
"Should we just accept it?"
Fu Xiaojian didn't ask the two little ones why they came to him; he was simply concerned about Xu Si's inner conflict.
From any perspective, accepting it would be more appropriate.
