In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.
Chapter 105 Return
"They certainly came prepared."
"There's a medium-sized warehouse nearby, full of survival supplies like grain, oil, rice, flour, and canned goods. All 20 military trucks that came were loaded. Chen Qi led a team back to base first, and the rest can go back after they're all loaded."
Xue Li briefly explained the situation.
"Hmm." It's getting dark soon, and the journey back might not be safe.
"What did you get?" Hongtang's gaze shifted from the fully loaded military trucks and the busy soldiers to Xue Li.
Xue Li shook his head and uttered a single word with regret, "None."
Perhaps out of concern that there were space-age ability users in the superpower team who might secretly move supplies, the accompanying mission members were only allowed to accompany the team and were not permitted to move supplies.
Of course, Xue Li never intended to take advantage of the military.
At this moment, a young officer in combat uniform walked over and said loudly, "You two must be Miss Tang and Mr. Xue. We will be returning to base in 15 minutes."
"Would it be alright if you two, along with those other ability users, escorted us from behind?"
The young commander pointed to four off-road vehicles of different brands not far away and continued, "Don't worry, we've arranged four armored vehicles to accompany you. Captain Chen Qi instructed that if you encounter any danger to your lives, you should prioritize your own safety."
Seeing the sincere smile on the young officer's face, Hongtang's lips twitched.
People naturally prioritize their own safety, especially in the apocalypse; this doesn't need any reminder.
Oh, I almost forgot, the other side are soldiers, organized and disciplined; they're willing to sacrifice their own interests for the greater good. Unlike Hong Tang, who's just an ordinary person struggling to survive in the apocalypse, without so many lofty ideals.
Hongtang smiled awkwardly, exchanged a glance with Xue Li, and then spoke up, replying, "Of course, no problem. We came here on a mission, so we must obey the arrangements."
Although this mission only awards 1000 points, it seems they were merely accompanying the team, and the military handled the zombies and mutated animals they encountered on the way here; they didn't contribute much. In the end, they're the ones who profited.
The young officer nodded in satisfaction, then went to the four vehicles to give some instructions before returning to the front of the convoy and directing the team to begin their return journey.
Hongtang and Xueli also got into the car and followed the group.
Hongtang retrieved a hot meal for Xue Li from her spatial storage and then drove the car herself. This guy's storage bracelet doesn't keep food fresh; it got cold and inedible.
The long convoy, laden with the joy of a bountiful harvest, headed towards the base.
After Xue Li finished eating, he switched seats with Hong Tang. He drove while Hong Tang kept watch over their surroundings.
"Host, come and control Brother Ha!" came the gloating shout from his younger sister.
Ha Ge? What mischief has it gotten itself up to now?
Since the mutated wolf family came into the space, it has never gone to the fishpond to hunt again, so it probably didn't fight with the wolf pack.
Although they didn't get along with the wolf family at first, after several battles, they have forged a deep revolutionary friendship.
Especially since we fought together during the day, we can't afford to turn against each other so soon.
With her eyes closed and her consciousness sinking into the space, Hongtang began to check on Ha Ge's condition.
Seeing that Hongtang had closed her eyes to rest, Xue Li assumed she was tired and wanted to take a nap. So he turned down the radio and slowed down the car to make it run more smoothly.
Upon seeing Brother Ha, Hongtang laughed in exasperation.
This unfilial son dared to lick that huge ice crystal, and unsurprisingly, his tongue got frozen to it and he couldn't pull it off no matter what he did, and he was howling in pain.
"Meow~" Upon seeing Hongtang, Ha Ge cried out miserably, struggling fiercely with its four paws. Little lightning bolts kept striking the ice crystal, but to no avail.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing Ha Ge's terrified yet comical expression, Hong Tang couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Ha Ge: You stupid woman, stop laughing! My tongue is about to fall off! Come and save me!
"Meow~ woof!" Ha Ge cried out pitifully a few more times. Hong Tang quickly stopped laughing and stroked its fluffy head to comfort it.
"Brother Ha, don't be afraid, your father is coming to save you."
When cryolite comes into contact with water, it releases a chill that freezes anything that gets near it. A wet tongue causes the cryolite to release its chill, but not enough to freeze Hagger, so it just sticks the tongue to it. This is similar to licking an iron rod in winter.
Having figured out the key point, Hongtang tried pouring warm water on the connection between Ha Ge's tongue and the ice crystal, hoping to rescue Ha Ge as the ice melted.
However, as soon as the warm water touched the ice crystal, even more cold air was released and condensed into ice. After several attempts, the frozen area on Ha Ge's tongue grew larger and larger.
With no other choice, Hongtang hardened her heart, poured warm water on him again, and took advantage of the moment when the cold air was just starting to rise. She immediately used her fire energy to melt the ice and then tore Ha Ge's tongue off the ice crystal.
"Meow!" With that tug, HaGe's tongue inevitably had a layer of skin torn off, which was naturally very painful, causing it to let out a deafening, miserable howl.
Hongtang quickly cast a wood-energy healing spell on it. In the blink of an eye, the injury to its tongue was healed. However, Hago still buried its head in Hongtang's arms, looking aggrieved, and remained silent, pretending to be dead to cover up its embarrassment.
Hongtang chuckled and led Ha Ge out of the space. She hoped this accident would teach Ha Ge a lesson, making him understand that the space wasn't absolutely safe.
The journey back might not be peaceful, so she brought the little guy out so that if they encountered an enemy attack, he could vent his anger through violence and distract himself.
Hongtang's prediction was correct. On their return journey, the rumbling convoy encountered five or six waves of superhumans and zombies, as well as a large group of mutated animals.
Hago also fully demonstrated its fighting prowess, engaging in two or three fierce battles and destroying dozens of crystal cores. Amidst Hongtang's continuous, exaggerated praise, Hago regained its usual confidence and returned to its former liveliness.
Hongtang originally wanted to have a good fight, but she seriously underestimated the military's strength and had no chance to show it.
Whenever an enemy attack occurs, whether it's humans, zombies, or animals, a dozen armored vehicles unleash their firepower, bombarding them directly, while ten fighter drones provide aerial support. Moreover, it seems those soldiers also possess a device capable of countering supernatural abilities.
They're really well-prepared; their fighting capabilities are armed to the teeth.
However, Hongtang keenly sensed that two small groups were secretly watching her car, seemingly looking for an opportunity to make a move.
Hongtang didn't bother guessing who they were or what their motives were; they were definitely up to no good. Her rule for dealing with these kinds of people was to eliminate them completely to prevent future trouble.
So she got out of the car in a secluded spot, sneaked to the back, and dealt with them one by one. However, one of the seriously injured level four wind-type ability users still escaped, but she didn't chase after him. It was better to leave one to inform them; maybe she could catch more big fish.
Hongtang pondered as she tossed the few newly formed supernatural crystal cores in her hand.
