Chapter 318 -Three Hundred and Eighteen: The New Instructor
But under Liao Yifan’s insistence, Guo Yang still compromised.
Of course, Liao Yifan didn’t take his words to heart; Lin Xiuyuan had said that once she got there, she must establish her authority and defeat everyone to earn their genuine respect.
That suggestion had fired up all her fighting spirit.
Yes, if she became an instructor, every day there would be different people to challenge, and when she got tired, she could let others duel for her enjoyment. She happily decided on this!
Xue Wanyi also had no reason to refuse. He had been worried about not being able to go out on missions with his team, but since Su Jin and Lu Hao were going to City E for a mission in the next couple of days, he had no reason to refuse.
...
It was Nie Qing who was somewhat depressed. Also a Wind Element user and even higher ranked than Big Beard, why hadn’t Liang Jiuhui made him an officer too?
“Uncle Nie, that’s not an officer’s post, that’s an instructor’s post, akin to a teacher or master,”
Lin Xiuyuan explained.
“Oh, it’s not an officer’s title? I thought they’d been made officers and ennobled, hahaha,”
So it was about being a teacher… Well, that wouldn’t suit him. He was too lazy; teaching so many little kids was not something he was up for.
Heart Talk Convenience Store had earned a great reputation during the Zombie Tide, and everyone knew that the Wood Element Su Jin and the Fire Element Lu Hao were part of the Heart Talk Team. Since the Heart Talk Team and Heart Talk Convenience Store were essentially the same team, business at the convenience store was booming these days.

Moreover, with the 300 Crystal Cores reward that Liang Jiuhui gave out to those who had fought in the Zombie Tide, many went straight to the Heart Talk Convenience store to shop after receiving their Crystal Cores.
Guo Yang and Liao Yifan were completely overwhelmed with work today, and the pancakes and rice in Guo Yang’s Space were almost sold out.
So although Lu Hao and Su Jin had scheduled their departure for five days later, they still had a lot of preparations to do in the coming days. They needed to leave sufficient supplies for Guo Yang and his family.
Not until late in the evening when the family entered the Space, did Lin Xiuyuan still nag that he wanted to accompany Su Jin and Lu Hao to City E. Even Nie Qing declared he wanted to tag along, as he wanted to explore around after finally making it down the mountain.
“Sister Xiao Jin, I want to go too,” Mao Qiqi pouted.
“…”
In the end, the two of them had no choice but to decide on who would accompany them: Lin Xiuyuan, Nie Qing, and Mao Qiqi.
The three of them were so thrilled they nearly scattered petals around the household in celebration.
“Qiqi, won’t you miss your mother and father if you go?”
Lin Tianzhen felt somewhat reluctant, and even Mao Zhihang watched his daughter with a forlorn gaze. Weren’t little girls supposed to be more homesick?
“It’s okay. As long as I’m in here, I can see mom and dad anytime,”
Mao Qiqi replied with an innocent smile. Seeing her family every day, and also being able to go on adventures and fight zombies, sounded simply too fantastic!
The whole family laughed; they were just relieved because they knew that with the space at their disposal, there was no need to worry too much about the younger ones going out to explore. After all, the Apocalypse isolated news, and City E wasn’t too far from here anyway.
“Grandpa, Grandma, you two must want to go out and see the world too, right?”
Su Jin couldn’t help but ask. She was worried that her grandparents might feel lonely after spending so much time in the Space.
Li Xiuying smiled. She actually didn’t have much interest in going other places. If there was anywhere she wanted to visit, it would only be the old house in H city. Unfortunately, she had heard from her family that H city had already become a Dead City.
Although the spot where her grandparents entered the Space was located at their home in H city, and they could reach the old residence as soon as they exited the Space, Su Jin didn’t dare let them take the risk. It would be problematic if they encountered zombies the moment they stepped out.
However, Lin Yunguo was somewhat interested in going out to take a look. He had only ever seen videos and photos taken by Lin Xiuyuan and the others, so he was quite curious about the outside world.
“It’s okay, on our way to E city, I can take you all out for a stroll,”
Su Jin said happily.
Even though her grandparents’ entry point to the Space was at their old home, as long as Su Jin, the owner of the Space, led them out, they could reach the location from which Su Jin entered the Space, which worked on the same principle as when she took objects out of the Space.
“Why do I feel like you all are treating this mission as if it were a vacation, so excited about it?”
Mrs. Su, Lin Tianhui, couldn’t help but say. Both the old and young were following along in excitement, which made her want to join as well.
“No problem, Auntie, I will bring a camera with me and film all the demons and monsters we encounter along the way. I guarantee it will make you feel just as if you were there, hahaha,”
Lin Xiuyuan said excitedly, already wishing they could set off the next day.
However, the next day was reserved for the medicinal herb market. Mao Zhihang had already taken out the map and was discussing the route with Su Xiangzhe and a few others.
…
When Su Jin came out of the Space, she also brought out 30 bags of rice and 200 servings of thin pancakes, and she even took out the trash generated from making pancakes in the Space and put it in the kitchen. After doing all this, she went back to rest with Lu Hao.
Although she didn’t know what the outside of the base had become, the base should be safe for a while after the Zombie Tide. She felt at ease leaving her family there.
Life in the base had also returned to normal.
Early the next morning, Su Jin and her group tried their luck at the task center and discovered that the tasks there had indeed restarted. As usual, they picked up a red-level task and drove two cars towards the medicinal herb market.
Liao Yifan and Xue Wanyi had already reported for duty on time today, while Guo Yang, claiming a shortage of manpower at the store, had enlisted Yin Chengtian and Shi Jin to help out. Therefore, only her family went on the mission that day.
“I’m not sure if Yifan and the others can adapt,”
Huang Yunxiang was still somewhat worried, as they had been used to doing things freely in their team. She feared it would be a little uncomfortable for those two to suddenly go to a place with military management.
“Mom, you worry too much. Our Sister Liao is beautiful and strong, and Brother Xue has enough presence. Leading a bunch of underlings, they’ll have it under control in no time!”
Lin Xiuyuan optimistically stated, believing that those two, who had come from their team, would certainly be capable.
At that moment, on the base’s training grounds, a group of Power Element Ability Users eagerly watched as Li Haochu brought over a slender and attractive short-haired beauty. He told them she was their new instructor and that they could consult her if they had any issues.
“Hello everyone, my name is Liao Yifan, a Level Three Power Element Ability User. Anyone who wants to spar with me can line up over here,”
Liao Yifan stood in front of a crowd of burly men, saying this with a bright smile on her face.
Li Haochu felt a bit embarrassed as he seemingly saw a bunch of question marks hovering over everyone’s heads. However, since this was a person personally introduced by the Base Leader and a member of the Heart Talk Team, there should possibly, probably, maybe be no issues, right?
