This recruitment process was even easier and faster than Zhou Chen had imagined. After filling in a form, he joined the native organization and became a member of the so-called exploration team.

Next, Teresa brought him to the exploration team's exclusive building and gave him the key to the living quarters. She told him to rest early for work tomorrow.

As for Lucy, Teresa left it to the specialized department to deal with on the way.

“I wonder how Li Guofu is doing. As a veteran Survivor, he should be able to solve his problem.” It was already late at night. Zhou Chen lay on the bed in his single-bed room and gradually fell asleep.

Zhou Chen did not plan to look for Li Guofu immediately. He did not know the situation of the native organization he had just joined. Considering that this might be a trap, he could not involve others too early.

The next day arrived. Zhou Chen woke up early. After washing up, he went to the cafeteria and ate a sumptuous breakfast when he saw Teresa coming toward him.

“We are going to a pollution area for a mission this afternoon,” Teresa succinctly told Zhou Chen.

“Just the two of us?” Zhou Chen looked at her empty surroundings and asked.

“It is indeed only two of us in the main force, but there will be a robot team to support us,” Teresa answered immediately.

Zhou Chen immediately had a bad feeling.

“Why are there only two people? Where are the others?”

“There were three other people before, but one of them went missing and two died in the previous exploration. Currently, other than me, you are the only mutant in the entire exploration team,” Teresa explained.

“It's so dangerous to explore the pollution area?” Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes.

“It's quite dangerous for sure, but the reason why those three are gone is related to them being weak. With the strength you showed yesterday, your chances of survival are definitely higher than theirs.”

“Alright, tell me about the pollution area. I want to know what monsters are inside.”

In order to obtain and develop his passive skills, Zhou Chen had to go out and fight monsters. Therefore, he was interested rather than afraid.

Teresa took out a phone-like machine and began to show Zhou Chen some information, telling him about the troubles they might encounter in the pollution area and their goal in this exploration.

“Nuclear fusion energy core?” Zhou Chen's eyes lit up.

“Yes, our city's current electricity supply is a problem. We urgently need this thing,” Teresa explained to him, but she did not say where the pollution area was because this information was still confidential.

After chatting for a while, Teresa arranged the meeting place and the time. Then, she left to go about her day.

Zhou Chen quietly went to the hospital to find Li Guofu.

They had agreed when they split up that they would meet there today or leave a secret signal.

After spending some effort to reach the hospital's entrance, Zhou Chen realized that there was no secret signal and determined that Li Guofu was in the hospital. He entered the hospital and asked about his whereabouts.

A few minutes later, he found Li Guofu strapped to an IV drip.

Right now, Li Guofu was in a casual local style outfit.

“How is your body now?” Zhou Chen saw that Li Guofu's complexion had gotten better.

“Not bad, the doctor said that I came in time. I can be discharged after this IV bag finishes,” Li Guofu replied.

“What's the problem? The influence of apocalyptic pollution?”

“Right, but keep your voice down,” Li Guofu turned to look at the door.

“You don't know how much the doctor's mood changed after he found out that I was affected by the apocalyptic pollution. If I didn't use a prop in time to influence him, he would have chased me out.” Speaking of this, Li Guofu's expression was a little complicated.

“Are these natives so afraid of the apocalyptic pollution?” Zhou Chen had heard this word many times in the past two days and had a deep impression of it.

“Yes, I've already investigated. This apocalyptic pollution is the cause of this world's current appearance.” Li Guofu began to share the information he had gathered with Zhou Chen.

“Ever since the apocalyptic pollution erupted ten years ago, it is present almost everywhere, affecting the people of this world at all times. However, the intensity of the apocalyptic pollution in most of the areas is very low, and it is basically harmless to the surviving natives. The only effect is that it might cause them to mutate at a certain moment. This mutation will mostly turn mutants into irrational bloodthirsty monsters, and in a few cases, it will give special abilities to the mutants.”

“Hmm… I've seen both,” Zhou Chen nodded.

The trench coat man he had seen last night who had turned into a monster was an example of negative influence, while Teresa, who seemed to have psychokinesis, was an example of positive effect.

“Those mutated monsters have very strong vitality. If you encounter them, it's best to use heavy weapons to kill them,” He reminded Li Guofu.

“You saw them with your own eyes? Unfortunately, I was in a bad state. Otherwise, I definitely would not have missed it,” Li Guofu was not afraid when he heard about the monster. Instead, he felt regretful that he did not see it.

“By the way, do you want to get an injection as well? This medicine can greatly reduce the influence of mild apocalyptic pollution. Your body should have accumulated some pollution after all this while,” Li Guofu raised his free hand and pointed at the bottle hanging above him.

“No need for now,” Zhou Chen immediately shook his head and refused.

“I coincidentally joined the official organization of this city last night and became an exploration team member. I'll be doing a mission at noon today. When I figure out the situation there, I'll see if I can pull you in.”

Zhou Chen knew that it would be slightly difficult for Li Guofu to blend in this city, so he wanted to pull him into the native organization when the time was ripe.

“Okay. These natives should have good technology. You have to get me in when you have the chance.”

Li Guofu did not reject this, because joining the native forces would allow him to approach various advanced technologies and obtain more items to hand over..
