In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.
Chapter 62 A Triumphant Return (Part 2)
"You're really lucky," Li Xiao said with a forced smile, and then walked over to the mutated wolf's corpse to examine it.
Hongtang didn't care about Li Xiao's actions. She just pursed her lips and thought to herself, "Let's see what you can figure out."
While Hongtang and Chen Qi were talking, Bai Yichun returned to the car and discussed something with the people inside. Then she came out again.
"Miss, my dad is a professor at an agricultural research institute. He's researching cold-weather crops. Can we exchange seeds for them?"
As she spoke, Bai Yichun handed over a slip of paper. It listed seeds for about ten kinds of crops, including sweet potatoes, potatoes, cabbage, and rice, all common cash crops.
Collecting seeds of extremely cold crops was already part of Hongtang's plan, but the relevant departments acted quite quickly and had already developed the seeds.
"Okay, I want 20 of each kind of seed, but I'll only trade one wolf for them."
Since the Bai family are agricultural professors invited by the government, they shouldn't lack food and points. I don't know what they want the mutated wolf for. Maybe we should just give them one.
The slip of paper only listed 15 kinds of seeds, and I took 20 of each kind, for a total of 300 seeds. A wolf can be exchanged for at least four or five hundred points, and a seed costs one or two points.
Although the seeds for extreme cold are precious now, they might be distributed for free when they are promoted and popularized, so they will actually benefit.
Bai Yichun hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Only the first 10 kinds of seeds on this list are already in the trial planting stage. The spinach, rapeseed, lettuce, apple, and persimmon seeds will have to wait a while longer." Her voice trailed off, as if she were a little embarrassed.
She quickly added, "But don't worry, we live in the same building, so I won't renege on my debt. I'll give it to you as soon as the seeds are successfully grown."
Hongtang raised an eyebrow slightly. What she really wanted were those small green vegetables so she could openly display her vegetable garden at home. But it seemed she would have to wait a few more days.
“Okay, but I want to see the other seeds tonight.” She then pointed to a mutated wolf next to her. “That one.” This wolf wasn’t as fat as the two she had planned to give it, but it wasn’t thin either.
"Okay, Miss Hong, I'll send the seeds to you tonight." Bai Yichun nodded quickly and went back to the car to call someone to transport the wolves.
"Just call me by my name, Hongtang." She really wasn't used to being called Miss Hong.
Over there, Li Xiao had also finished examining the mutated wolf's corpse, and he nodded almost imperceptibly to Chen Qi.
"Hongtang, your marksmanship is excellent. Did you study shooting before?" Chen Qi overheard Hongtang's conversation with Bai Yichun and called her by name.
Hongtang made up a story on the spot, "I was interested in it before and studied it for a while. I never thought it would come in handy now."
She has never studied shooting, but she did learn boxing for a few months. However, she gave it up because she was too busy with work. She usually just practices at home for fun, treating it as a form of physical exercise. Now she sets aside some time each day to practice online.
Seeing Li Xiao approach and exchange glances with Chen Qi, Hong Tang knew they wanted to ask more questions. But she wasn't going to give them the chance, so she struck first.
“I just found this gun here. When I found it, there were only two bullets left in it, and they were both fired. It’s not illegal to possess a gun now, so what I found is mine. You have no right to confiscate my gun.”
The two, successfully misled, were speechless.
"No, you've got the wrong idea. I just wanted to ask if you need us to help you transport the wolves back to the second base. We're going to the second base anyway, so it's on our way."
Bai Yichun's car has already left, but there are still two cars at the scene, and four wolves on the ground, so one car can transport two cars.
"Okay, thank you very much. But I can't let you help me for nothing. Tell me what kind of reward you'd like."
With free labor available, Hongtang naturally accepted the offer.
Li Xiao touched his nose and said awkwardly, "We're happy to serve a beautiful woman, so why would we need any reward? But we can't let the beautiful woman's kindness go to waste. We happen to need a few wolf heads as specimens, so give us those wolf heads, hehe."
The reason was so lame that Chen Qi wiped his face in embarrassment. Who was this person? He didn't recognize him.
Hongtang rolled her eyes. This guy probably wanted the crystal core inside the wolf's head. Too bad she'd already taken them all. He was destined to be disappointed.
"Okay, when we get to the service hall of the second base and we're redeeming points, we'll have the staff cut off the wolf's head for you."
"No need for that trouble, we can do it ourselves."
Li Xiao wielded a large machete and with a few swift strokes, several wolf heads fell to the ground.
I must say, this guy's knife skills are pretty good.
Soon, two vehicles carrying four wolves sped toward the second base.
Upon arriving at the service hall, the appearance of several robust and obese headless mutated wolves immediately attracted the attention of many people, sparking a lively discussion.
These mutated wolves are fierce and agile, and very difficult to catch. They injured quite a few people at the base some time ago. Unexpectedly, someone captured four of them at once today. They are even more domineering than wolves.
While helping to weigh the wolves, Li Xiao explained to the people that Hong Tang had hunted and killed all of them by herself.
Hongtang rolled her eyes at him again. What he said was true, but wasn't he deliberately trying to provoke her and attract attention?
The four mutated wolves earned her a total of 1860 points, which pleased Hongtang. To thank Chen Qi and Li Xiao for their help, she offered to treat them to a meal. There was a small restaurant in the base that only served three dishes and a soup, 10 servings a day, on a first-come, first-served basis; she should be able to make it.
Chen Qi and his companion declined the offer and left, citing their official duties.
Hongtang didn't press the matter; they were just strangers who had met by chance. She guessed it probably wasn't anything important, otherwise they wouldn't have lingered here for so long.
In a corner of the service hall, someone had already noticed Hongtang.
"Boss, is that girl really just an ordinary person without any superpowers? She managed to kill four mutated wolves all by herself, that's pretty impressive." Lin Yao scratched his head and said with an incredulous look.
Xu Yang was speechless. How come this big oaf only grew tall and not smart? "Slap!" He raised his hand and slapped Lin Yao on the back of the head.
"You idiot, so what if you don't have superpowers? Does that mean you can't kill mutated wolves? You didn't have superpowers before, but you still managed to kill zombies, didn't you?"
"Yeah, yeah, the boss is so smart. She must be as strong as an ox as me." Lin Yao raised his arm and showed off his biceps. Unfortunately, his clothes were too thick to tell at all.
Xu Yang looked up at the sky speechlessly. It was unbearable to look at; he was told he was fat, yet he still wore it.
"Ahem, our team is short one member for this mission. What do you guys think of her?"
"Okay, okay, I agree! Now I finally have a female companion!" Liu Xinnan, the only girl in the team, clapped her hands in agreement.
Lin Yao licked his lips and chuckled, "Sure, if this girl comes with us, we might be able to eat mutated wolf meat too. I've heard it tastes really good."
"Foodie!" Li Xiang chuckled and scolded, then made his final statement, "Although I don't know how strong she is, I'll listen to the captain. The captain can decide."
"Base regulations stipulate that a special ability team must have at least 5 members. We only have 4 people right now, and the registration deadline for A-level missions is tomorrow. If we can't find suitable teammates soon, we might miss this mission."
As the captain of the Flying Tigers squad, Xu Yang was feeling extremely melancholy and anxious.
