Early in the morning, it was twilight.

The illuminated city was still shrouded in darkness. Zhong Hongfei was standing in the Wuyuan villas area with a backpack on his back.

He looked up and saw that the doors of two villas inside the wall hadn’t moved at all. He had come a little earlier, so he stood silently outside the gate, planning to wait until the right time to knock on the door to enter.

It was the first time he had participated in the outing hunting activities organized by the team after joining Heart of Winter.

He hoped to make a good impression on his teammates. He even deliberately washed his head and face with precious water, trimmed his hair, and put on a set of clean clothes.

He cherished the job he got in Heart of Winter, not only because the team leader and team members were very friendly, but more importantly, it was not easy to get a job within a mercenary group for an ability holder like him.

As they all knew, if a mental ability holder wanted to influence and control other creatures, they must have a lower level than their own. Therefore, the larger the level gap, the easier it was to successfully control it.

The human mind was delicate, and the spirit was relatively fragile and unstable. If a low-level mental ability holder used his ability skillfully and used the opportunity, he may interfere with ability holders who were higher than himself.

However, most of the demons had simple minds and stable mental power. Ability holders of the same rank had no chance of winning against demons, not to mention low-level challenges to high-level ones.

Therefore, most mercenary groups would not let a low-level mental ability holders who had low physical abilities and were useless in combat in0

Zhong Hongfei analyzed his situation carefully. He was not very physically strong, had no fighting ability, and even had no team experience in hunting demons. It could be said that this was the first operation he was participating in. He couldn’t even believe it, and he didn’t know which aspect of him Leader Chu had taken a fancy to. He could only rejoice that even in these difficult years, the kindness of the human heart had not been completely wiped out, so he was lucky to meet these kind people.

A tall woman returned from jogging in the early morning white mist. She was wearing a tight sports vest with loose camouflage pants. A handgun was pinned to the belt around her waist, a heavy-duty backpack was on her back, and a rifle was on the top of the backpack. 

Zhong Hongfei recognized that this was a member of the team, whose name was Yan Xue. He said hello.

Yan Xue had a pair of cook sunglasses, covering most of her face, nodded at him blankly, and went in without saying a word.

Zhong Hongfei was a little bit lost. Miss Yan Xue helped him once. He was grateful and wanted to thank her very much, but the girl seemed very indifferent to him.

Yan Xue ran all the way up to the second floor and met Gao Yan who had just left the bedroom door.

“What’s the matter? You went for a morning run again?”

After these days, each of them had developed a set of exercise methods that suited them.

Qianxun liked to do all kinds of physical training in the bedroom. Yan Xue was used to long-distance running with heavy loads every morning. Ye Peitian would repeatedly condense various exquisite models with yellow sand on his windowsill to practice his control ability.

“I… I saw Zhong Hongfei outside,” Yan Xue covered her face with her hands.

“Really? He came so early. Why didn’t you let him in but let him stand at the door?” Gao Yan looked down from the window on the second floor, and she saw Zhong Hongfei standing alone outside the wall, “Don’t you like him?”

“He cleaned up today. I almost didn’t recognize him when I saw him. He is really handsome. I was nervous and ran in directly.” Yan Xue took off her sunglasses, her face flushed, “Ah, I’m so awkward.”

Gao Yan stretched out her finger and poked her forehead, “How handsome is he? More handsome than Xiao Ye? Do you want your sister to help you?”

“No, no, Sister Yan.” Yan Xue held Gao Yan’s hand, “Just enjoy the beautiful things. I don’t want to repeat what happened again.”
