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

The Sucheng base is very large, currently housing approximately 90 survivors.

The base has three chief base commanders, who are respectively subordinate to the government, the military, and powerful local forces.

In the early days of its establishment, the three forces were evenly matched, but recently the military has shown signs of gaining prominence. That's why Qiao Chen and his small group of retired soldiers have gained a certain status within the base.

The entire base is divided into six major areas: East Zone, West Zone, South Zone, North Zone, Slum Zone, and Abandoned Zone.

The four major districts—east, west, south, and north—are for base leaders, people with superpowers, and ordinary survivors who can create value.

Each of the four districts has two deputy base chiefs to assist in management, the slums have one deputy base chief, and the abandoned districts are unmanaged.

The slums are free accommodation areas provided by the Sucheng base for survivors who are unable to work, such as the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled.

The so-called accommodations were not proper houses, but rather sheds and large tents that could house hundreds or thousands of people at the same time. They were simply places that could provide basic shelter from the wind and snow; in short, they were shantytowns.

So don't even dream about staying warm and comfortable.

Fortunately, each person can also receive a free bowl of congee and a coarse cornbread every day, just to ensure that they don't die.

Of course, people here can also participate in the base's construction to earn points and improve their living conditions. The prerequisite is that they are able to do the work.

Unfortunately, Hao Liang was the deputy base chief of this slum.

When Chi Ye, Han Ya, and Zhao Minmin first entered the base, they concealed their identities as superhumans and entered this slum. Then, all those things happened.

However, compared to other base commanders, his status was not as important, but it was still a lucrative position.

Hao Liang was responsible for the corruption and embezzlement incident at the material warehouse that had previously given logistics manager Yang Liang a headache.

However, he was just a small fry on the surface; the power behind him was deeply entrenched and unshakeable.

The extensive internal investigation and self-reflection only resulted in the loss of a few of Hao Liang's key associates, making them scapegoats.

As for the abandoned area, it is the area where Hongtang currently lives, but it has now been cleaned up and looks brand new.

This abandoned area, covering about ten acres, is located in the northeast corner of the entire base, offering excellent privacy.

She's going to turn this place into her own territory.

Having sorted out the complex information, Hongtang had a general idea of ​​what to do.

That deputy base chief, Hao Liang, is involved in the embezzlement case, has connections to the bunker, and was responsible for Han Ya's 'disappearance'. He's a very serious problem.

Han Ya and Chi Ye were her friends, so she naturally wouldn't stand idly by.

Ikeno needs treatment for his leg? Oh right, he obtained a silver keystone through the metal dimension, which can reshape bones and flesh.

Perhaps if I master this ability in the future, I can help Ikeno reshape his right calf?

But right now, we can only treat his injury first, and then find someone to help him get a prosthetic leg.

Chen Jinghe and Zhang Chengcheng are both excellent police officers who uphold their principles even in the apocalypse, and Hongtang greatly admires them.

She wouldn't give up the search unless there was confirmed news of her death.

The most important thing right now is to get information about Han Ya from Hao Liang.

Hongtang actually wanted to ask about the situation after the internal strife at Yangcheng Second Base, but Zhao Minmin was not in good condition, so she could only comfort her and tell her to rest well before taking Xue Li, Ma Xiaolan and Heitan to Hao Liang's residence.

"Hehe~ Boss, should I just curse that scumbag Hao Liang to death? He's so wicked, he's infuriating! Hehe~"

"Heh, if you had the ability to curse someone to death, wouldn't you send me away first?!" Hong Tang sneered.

That arrogant crow—back in the mountains, to teach it a lesson, she had Brother Ha electrocute it until it was bald. Its feathers still haven't grown back.

"Hehe~ How could that be? You're my dearest boss! Hehe!" Having his secret thoughts exposed, Hei Tan quickly flattered him, shrank back, and shut his mouth.

Black Charcoal: Cursing the boss to die is out of the question; I couldn't bear to give up all the delicious food he provides. But making him suffer a little in secret is something I can do, hehehe!

"Alright, I'll believe you for now. But you're not allowed to tell anyone about what happened today, or anything about our team and the abandoned area! If you let it slip, you'll lose more than just your black fur!" Hongtang said, half teasing and half warning.

"Heh! Don't worry, boss, my mouth is the most reliable. Heh heh!"

"Black Charcoal, you'd better shut up right now. We're going to lie in wait, we have to be sneaky. If you keep talking like this, you'll attract attention soon." Ma Xiaolan pressed down on Black Charcoal's mouth to stop it from talking.

Under the combined pressure of his boss and master, Heitan obediently shut his mouth and stopped talking.

They soon arrived at the residential area of ​​the slum management, which consisted of several small villas. Judging from the exterior, they were much better than the Red Garden where Hongtang and the others lived.

Unsure which building Hao Liang lived in, the three people and the crow each chose a different house and quietly flew away.

Hongtang had already 'met' Hao Liang, the bald man with a bulbous nose, through Ma Xiaolan's description.

So as soon as she got nearby, she used her mental power to pinpoint Hao Liang's location.

However, Hao Liang was busy working with a withered woman.

It was another night of eyesores, so Hongtang simply went into her spatial dimension to avoid seeing it.

Even within the space, Hongtang can hear sounds from outside, but if she wants to 'see' the outside world, she has to release her mental energy.

So even in the space, she wasn't afraid of missing their conversation.

However, the two of them kept spouting nonsense, which made Hongtang feel unlucky. She then sent out a portion of her spiritual energy to wander around the space and take stock of her inventory.

Dozens of kilometers away from the Sucheng base, two bloodied, withered hands emerged from the ruins of a bunker.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding dust, gravel, concrete, and stones were pushed aside by a force, revealing an opening in the ruins from which a person shakily crawled out.

He sat on the ground, dressed in tattered clothes, looking at the large and small, deep and shallow wounds on his body, which were healing at a slow but visible speed. He weakly uttered two words, "Monster!"

Yes, he was injected with so many unknown drugs by that pervert, fed fresh zombie meat, and had his flesh and blood eaten by zombies, yet he still didn't die.

Now his wounds can slowly heal on their own, and even zombies no longer bite him when they see him. Does that mean he has turned into a monster?

During his tormented days in the bunker, Chen Jinghe could clearly feel the changes in his body. Although his appearance had not turned into that of a zombie, he was no longer sure if he was still human.

He felt an overwhelming sense of confusion, fear, and bewilderment, and his lifeless eyes emitted a faint green glow.

After a long silence, Chen Jinghe staggered into the unknown darkness and disappeared.

On the summit of a snow-covered hill, the hot-tempered Han Chumo kicked his trusted subordinate, who was repairing a helicopter, and angrily cursed: "You're all useless!"

Then he started poking and prodding at it himself.

Half an hour later, the roar of the helicopter resumed.
