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

Finally, Hongtang was bound hand and foot, her mouth tightly sealed, and stuffed into the trunk of a dilapidated truck like a rice dumpling.

Then, the truck driver slammed on the gas and sped off in an unknown direction.

After a bumpy three-hour ride, the car finally came to a slow stop in front of a high-end residential area in Sucheng City.

After a thorough check by the guards at the entrance of the residential area, and after confirming that there were no abnormalities, the truck was allowed to enter the area.

It then wandered around for a while before finally stopping in a quiet corner and turning off the engine.

With a loud bang, the rear door of the truck was kicked open.

Seeing that the girl was still sleeping soundly in the trunk, unresponsive, the people who had just gotten out of the car breathed a long sigh of relief.

For them, this arduous task was finally completed successfully.

"Zhang Shan, Li Si, you two take the man to the dark room first. I'll go report to the boss." After saying that, he left with the other two brothers.

“Okay, Brother Meng.” Zhang Shan and Li Si quickly nodded in response.

But as soon as Meng Ge and the others left, Zhang Shan spat on the ground and muttered curses under his breath.

"Pah, what a piece of trash, trying to act all high and mighty in front of me. We're all in this together, everyone knows who's who, but he's always ordering me around like I'm his little brother."

Li Si, the one who had carried Hong Tang earlier, quickly pulled him back and advised, "Brother Shan, keep your voice down, don't let him hear you. Sigh, what can we do when he's stronger than us?" Be careful you don't get beaten up.

Zhang Shan's expression changed, and he quickly shut his mouth. He understood what Li Si meant, of course.

Although he knew he couldn't beat Meng Ge, he was still unhappy about being someone else's lackey.

But there's nothing I can do about being unhappy; I can only keep it to myself.

"Li Si, just do as he says and lock this girl up in the dark room." Zhang Shan said, then walked away without looking back.

"Hey, Brother Shan..."

Lying in the trunk: Take me away quickly, it stinks here!

She was almost fainting from the stench; she had no idea what she had been pretending to be.

Fortunately, she stayed in the space the whole time and didn't suffer this ordeal.

She wouldn't have pretended to be weak if it weren't for the need to catch the mastermind behind it all.

Hongtang released her spiritual power, carefully examining each building and each household.

Soon, she spotted Xue Li following closely behind, put the car into her spatial bracelet, twisted her body, turned into a black shadow, and disappeared into the residential area.

This neighborhood is pretty good; the houses are well-preserved, almost like they were before the apocalypse.

It's definitely a high-end residential area; the quality is top-notch!

However, after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find the figure that seemed to be the mastermind behind the scenes.

All I saw were lowly thugs eating, drinking, and having fun.

Before long, Hongtang was "as she wished" to be locked in a small dark room.

Contrary to expectations, this small room of about ten square meters actually housed six teenagers.

Hongtang pouted; this treatment was truly exceptionally poor.

It seems that the girl's identity isn't as important as I thought.

By the light from the open door, Hongtang saw that some people were lying unconscious on the ground, some were huddled in a corner trembling, and others were covered in blood and their clothes were tattered, clearly having been beaten.

With Hongtang inside, the little house seemed even more cramped.

The ropes binding her had been untied, and she could move her limbs freely.

She pretended to have just woken up, carefully crawled to the wall and sat down, then tore off the gag in her mouth and gasped for breath.

Then, she curled up into a ball, trying to make herself less noticeable.

After observing for a while and finding that no one else had noticed her, Hongtang closed her eyes and began to use her mental power to search the neighborhood again.

She needs to find the higher-ups in this group as soon as possible and wipe them all out.

Oh dear, it's almost 11 p.m., and she's in a hurry to get back to celebrate her birthday!

In the living room on the first floor of Hongyuan, at the Sucheng base.

Feng Ming, Ma Xiaolan, Chi Ye, Hu Shuai, Li Lei and others sat together.

Everyone stared expectantly at the doorway, as if waiting for something. No one spoke; the room was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Suddenly, the tranquility was broken by an electronic voice.

[Beep, beep, beep, hourly chime. The current time is 23:00:00 on April 30th.]

At this quiet moment, the screen of the digital clock hanging on the wall suddenly lit up, clearly displaying "11 p.m."

It was still silent, with only the chiming of the electronic clock echoing in the air.

"Damn it, you bunch of men are really unreliable! The boss has been missing for hours and you're not even in a hurry to look for him. You cowards who are afraid of death, I really have no respect for you!"

"Hey, you little rascal, get out here right now and come with me to find the boss!"

Ma Xiaolan stood up abruptly and rushed out, calling out to Heitan as she went.

That stinky bird, it disappeared when it really mattered. It's so unreliable, just like those stinky men.

As Ma Xiaolan passed by Feng Ming, he quickly stretched out a leg, almost tripping her.

"I've told you so many times, the boss and Xue Li really went out on business, why doesn't anyone believe me?" Feng Ming said, pouting.

There's nothing to worry about when these two formidable killers go out together.

These people are just like that. If they're worried, fine, but they won't even let themselves eat dinner. What kind of logic is that?

Fortunately, I had some food stored in my storage ring, so I could sneak a little to eat.

"Going out to find the boss? They won't take you because they're afraid you'll be a burden. Tsk tsk, people should know their place." Feng Ming said another sarcastic remark, which earned him a flurry of punches from Ma Xiaolan.

Chi Ye touched the bandage on his neck and said in a hoarse voice, "Why don't we ask Commander Qiao for help? They have plenty of manpower." He had only been awake for a short time when he heard that Hong Tang had gone out.

Although he knew Hongtang was very capable, he was still quite worried that she hadn't returned so late.

And it's her birthday today, and I've prepared a gift for her. I don't want to be unable to give it to her.

Chi Ye squeezed the pocket of her clothes, then lowered her head and smiled bitterly. She was truly useless; she couldn't help her at all.

By the way, my birthday is only one day after hers, and she doesn't even know that yet.

Sigh, I don't know what secret she used, but she suddenly became so young, like a high school student.

Whether it's appearance, ability, wealth, or health, the gap between the two is widening, and it's practically insurmountable.

Ikeno became increasingly discouraged as he thought about it.

"Deputy Base Chief Qiao is probably busy with the finishing touches and may not be able to spare any manpower."

Hu Shuai also looked worried; his usually smiling, chubby face was now contorted with worry.
