In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.

"Boss, did you hear anything?"

Hu Shuai's prominent ears twitched as he carefully discerned the sounds around him.

"It sounds like fighting." Hu Shuai frowned, then said uncertainly, "No, it sounds like the earth is collapsing."

Since the boss fed me a Marrow Cleansing Pill a couple of days ago, not only has my ice-type superpower advanced to level two, but my skin has also become fair and smooth, and even the black spot on my scalp that I was born with has disappeared.

Moreover, his senses had been enhanced, so Hu Shuai was certain that he had just heard the sounds of fighting.

But now there's no sound again, as if I was just hallucinating.

"Don't meddle in other people's business, hurry up and find the thing."

They've been searching for the suspected armory for three days now, and the entire fortress has been turned upside down, but they haven't found a single clue. Hongtang is getting a little frustrated.

She doesn't want to be distracted by anything else right now.

At the same time, she made a decision in her mind: if she couldn't find the elusive armory today, she was prepared to give up.

We can get firearms later. If all else fails, we can trade them for supplies or raid some illegal private bases.

She still needed to hurry to Beijing; the things there were more valuable and worth her effort.

Just as she was searching frantically amidst the ruins, Xue Li rushed over carrying Feng Ming.

"Boss, good news! The armory has been found!"

......

This small armory, which is only a little over 2000 square meters, was built at the foot of an inconspicuous mountain, half above ground and half underground.

No wonder she couldn't find it even after searching with her mental power several times; she had subconsciously overlooked this place.

When the iron gate was opened and the contents of the armory were revealed, Hongtang was still quite shocked.

Various types of rifles, sniper rifles, shotguns, pistols, as well as bullets, bombs, and other weapons and equipment were piled up in different large wooden crates and neatly arranged on the ground.

There are also several rows of shelves filled with various military-grade knives, axes, shovels, bulletproof vests, and other military-related supplies.

Hongtang quickly found what she wanted: a rocket launcher.

There was only one rocket launcher on the shelf, along with a dozen or so rounds of ammunition.

This one looks roughly the same as the rocket launcher I got before, so the ammunition should be interchangeable.

It doesn't matter if it's not universal; one of these extremely powerful firearms is enough.

And we also acquired so many other guns and ammunition; all the hard work of the past three days was definitely worthwhile.

Hongtang herself didn't know much about firearms, so after Xue Li confirmed that these weapons and equipment were usable, she put them all into her spatial storage.

Of course, Xue Li and Feng Ming now have their own storage spaces, and Hong Tang was generous, letting them each take some as well.

However, Feng Ming was beaten too badly by Xue Li. Although Hong Tang treated him with a wood-type healing spell, he was still unconscious and was being held by Xue Li.

So Dongxi Hongtang asked Xue Li to accept it on her behalf.

"Boss, this armory isn't very big; it's probably a reserve stock. For some reason, it was temporarily forgotten after the apocalypse." Otherwise, it would have been emptied long ago, and they wouldn't have had a chance to snag any bargains.

"Look at the number on the outer gate, this is warehouse number 2. There should be other warehouses as well."

"Oh." This Hongtang really doesn't understand; she just wants what she has.

"We've already got so much stuff, we can't be too greedy. We need to leave quickly and head to Beijing. That's our real target."

Hongtang's younger sister had reminded her that the weather would continue to cool down and there would be snowfall. If it really snowed, it would definitely delay their journey.

Hongtang wanted to reach the capital as soon as possible to find the supply depot Xue Li had mentioned and collect a hundred tons of gold.

"Okay, boss." Xue Li replied and walked out of the armory with Hong Tang.

Based on experience, Xue Li suspected there were other armories inside the fortress. However, he wasn't sure if they were still intact or if they had been discovered and emptied.

The boss is right, Beijing is their real target; we can't afford to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains.

"Uncle Hu, I'll give you your share when we get back to the RV."

Hongtang patted Hu Shuai on the shoulder as he stood guard dutifully at the entrance and gave him a promise.

Although Hu Shuai didn't contribute much to the seizure of the weapons, he still deserved every penny he was entitled to.

"Hehe, boss, being able to be saved and taken in by you, and being able to eat and dress well with you, is already a blessing that I, Lao Hu, have accumulated over several lifetimes. I dare not ask for more."

"Besides, I didn't contribute anything this time, so I shouldn't expect any reward." Although Hu Shuai was a butcher, he was a very insightful person.

If he hadn't met Hongtang, he would have died a tragic death at Fengming's hands long ago.

Although both of them were taken in by Hongtang, Fengming did try to take advantage of him in secret, but Hongtang always managed to deflect his attacks.

As a boss, Hong Tang is generous and magnanimous, fair in rewards and punishments, and her abilities are mysterious and unpredictable. Although it is unknown what great undertakings she will undertake in the future, she will certainly not remain unknown.

He was just an ordinary, low-level ice-type ability user, and wouldn't be of much help to Hong Tang. So he kept a very humble attitude.

Hu Shuai was sensible, which was the biggest reason why Hong Tang kept him by her side. Moreover, his cooking was quite good, and he was hardworking and never complained.

On the way to Beijing, Hongtang needs someone to do odd jobs.

She knew herself very well; she wouldn't continue living such a mundane life forever. In the future, she might do some thrilling and exciting things, so her companions had to possess exceptional combat skills.

Hu Shuai, as a superhuman, is too ordinary and mediocre.

Once they arrive in Beijing, she will arrange for Hu Shuai to stay in a relatively safe base so he can live a peaceful life. This will also be a way of repaying him for all the effort he's put in along the way.

Hongtang didn't say anything more. Back in the RV, she took out several different models of guns for Hu Shuai to choose from, and Hu Shuai eventually chose a shotgun.

Hu Shuai was very satisfied with this new weapon and loved it so much that he kept it by his feet even while driving.

At this moment, Feng Ming slowly woke up. The moment he saw Hong Tang, he began to accuse Xue Li of his brutal treatment of him.

But when Xue Li pulled out a bunch of firearms, he successfully shut him up.

Amidst laughter and playful banter, the four left Guancheng and headed to their next city, Sucheng.

Meanwhile, Lu Duo and the others were not in such a good mood.

Based on Yang Mo's account, Lu Duo guessed that there were still unexploited armories in the city, so he led everyone to search the city.

They found a gatekeeper at an abandoned factory near an armory. Following the clues he provided, they arrived at the location.

But they were too late; the armory had been raided and emptied by someone else.

Finally, persuaded by Yang Mo and others, Lu Duo, along with a few confidants and Qi Weiwei, reluctantly boarded the helicopter that came to pick him up and take him back to Beijing.

Yang Chen, a tall man with short hair, and Feng Xiaohui, a woman with wavy hair, were left behind to escort the remaining survivors to the official base in Sucheng. Afterward, the two returned to Beijing.

As for why these survivors weren't sent to the official base in Guancheng, it's because Guancheng doesn't have an official base.

These survivors, along with Qi Weiwei, had all escaped from a private base in Guancheng. They absolutely refused to stay in Guancheng.

"Rumble--"

A tremendous roar came from overhead, and Hongtang, who was lying on the bed, immediately opened the window and looked up at the sky.

Her eyes were suddenly drawn to a bright red light—it was a helicopter taking off, not yet very high.

"Uncle Hu, stop the car!" Hongtang shouted urgently.

The plane was only about 200 to 300 meters above the ground.

Hongtang is confident that she can bring it down.
