"She..." Yue Lin just wanted to explain, but realized he didn’t even know the woman’s name. He turned to Shen Tang, "What’s your name?"
"My name is Xun Fu, Xun as in ’search’, Fu as in ’lotus’." Shen Tang decided to use this name.
Yue Lin nodded and solemnly addressed everyone, "From now on, Xun Fu is a member of our team. Everyone must treat her with respect. Anyone who dares to be disrespectful, don’t blame me for being unkind."
Sun Jing stepped forward, forcing a reluctant smile, "Ah Lin, what’s going on? She’s just an ordinary person without superpowers. Having her join the team, isn’t that too rash? We’re going to the S-level forbidden zone, after all."
"Exactly, Captain, bringing along a burden, I’m afraid..."
"Simply because she has a superpower and helped me." Yue Lin sneered, "If she’s useless, then those of you here are worse than useless."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
All eyes were fixed on Shen Tang. She actually had a superpower? And it was healing?
Sun Jing’s face darkened completely.
Being publicly humiliated, especially reprimanded by Yue Lin with such indirect scolding, made her almost unable to maintain her composure.
A storm of disbelief surged in her heart. A female with a healing superpower and such outstanding looks, she knew exactly what that meant.
Such a woman, even if born in the lower class, possesses immense value. Whether through marriage or other means, rising into upper-class circles is not difficult. To many noble males, a high-value commoner female is even more desirable than a noble female.
No one dared to argue now, nor did anyone dare to have any objections.
The group continued on their journey.
Along the way, they encountered many mutant species, but as long as they weren’t overlord level, they were easily dealt with. They then faced two overlord-level beasts, but thanks to previous experience, despite fierce battles, they were successfully eradicated.
The team entered the central district of the S-level forbidden zone.
On the outskirts and mid-zone, they occasionally saw other beastman teams. But the deeper they went, the fewer people they encountered. By the time they fully entered the central district, only their team remained.
Shen Tang, fighting against increasingly stronger mutant species, secretly felt thankful for her choice. Surely, following Yue Lin was the right decision; if she had come alone, she might have long become food for the mutant species.
