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

"Tell me which other gangs you have, and what your recent plans are. If you tell me in a way that satisfies me, I'll give you a quick death."

The sharp ice blades mercilessly slapped against the man's face; he already knew his fate was sealed.

My heart pounded wildly in rhythm with the slapping of the ice blades. Either way, I was going to die; why should I sacrifice myself while others clung to life?

A surge of ruthlessness and resentment rose in the man's heart. It was all Li Lulu's fault, that bitch. If it weren't for her interference, Brother Hua wouldn't have come on this mission, and he and his brothers wouldn't have suffered this calamity.

What a source of trouble! That vile woman deserves to die!

"Yes, Li Lulu, that vicious woman, instigated Brother Hua to go around kidnapping women. Not only did she kidnap people who had grudges against her and humiliate and torture them severely, but she also made Brother Hua sell them to the laboratory. I heard that none of the people sent to the laboratory came out alive."

"Oh, a laboratory?" Hongtang became more interested. "What laboratory? Where is your meeting point, and who is your contact person?"

The ice blade that struck the man's face applied even more force, causing him to scream in pain.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Please have mercy, Grandma! I really didn't know that. It's always Brother Hua who does it himself. We little minions don't have that qualification at all."

Hongtang believed him, so she didn't press the man further. "Is there any connection between the laboratory and the base?"

The man swallowed hard and said in fear, "The base? Brother Hua will definitely not let the authorities know about this. If they find out, we would have been dealt with by the authorities long ago."

Hongtang neither confirmed nor denied this.

The zombie outbreak came without warning, just like previous epidemics. The authorities probably have various laboratories conducting research, just in different ways.

However, it's not my place to get involved in this kind of thing yet, as long as no one else tries to take advantage of me.

Perhaps the man's confession wasn't entirely true, but considering his honesty, she spared him suffering. She dealt with him swiftly and decisively.

As for Li Lulu, isn't she the girl Qingxue argued with that day? I never imagined someone could be so vicious, sending someone to that inhumane laboratory just because they had a grudge against me.

She initially thought this person was just an ordinary person, not worth her time. It seems that to prevent more people from being harmed, she should deal with him as soon as possible.

As she collected the last few crystal cores, several people quickly ran towards her.

"My God, how come there are so many zombies? It's terrifying, ugh~"

"Who is this great hero? He managed to kill so many zombies! I want to worship him as my boss!"

"You big oaf! You let someone else be the boss, so where do you put Captain Xu?"

"Keep your voices down, or you'll attract the zombies."

Judging from their voices, they sound a bit like Xu Yang and his group. But why are they here when they weren't heading to the psychiatric surgery department?

Liu Xinnan was the first to spot Hongtang. She rushed over excitedly and reached out to grab her arm.

"Hongtang, it's you! What are you doing here? It's so dangerous here, are you alright?"

This girl is a bit too enthusiastic.

"Hey, it's you, beautiful lady! Did you kill all these zombies? You're amazing!" Lin Yao's eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at Hong Tang.

Xu Yang and Li Xiang looked at the zombie corpses scattered all over the ground, then looked at Hong Tang with their eyes full of doubt and expectation, wanting Hong Tang to give them an answer.

"Ahem, how come it's me? I just heard a commotion over here and came to take a look. But when I got here, I was shocked to see zombie corpses all over the ground."

"Hey, I knew it! How could a delicate girl like you be more capable than me?" Lin Yao slapped the door as if suddenly realizing something, and chuckled softly.

The delicate and frail Hongtang: "......"

"By the way, what brings you guys here? Weren't you going to the psychiatric surgery department? Have you finished your mission?"

“We heard some noise over here, so we came to check it out. It’s more dangerous here than we thought. Do you want to come with us?” Xu Yang said.

Sensing that many people were heading this way, Hongtang felt there was no need to stay any longer. She decided to leave with the others first and then find an opportunity to hunt for spirits alone.

"Row."

Suddenly, Liu Xinnan shouted, "Hongtang, are you hurt? Your sleeves are covered in blood."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and they took a few steps back without making a sound, looking at Hongtang with worry.

Xu Yang reacted quickly and sensed something was wrong. He apologized and explained, "Hong Tang, if a person is caught and injured by a zombie, they will also turn into a zombie. We mean no harm, we are just worried about whether you are injured. There is no effective medicine available from the authorities right now."

"Yes, yes, you... sigh, what are we going to do?" Liu Xinnan said anxiously.

Hongtang curled her lips and looked at her arm. There was indeed some black blood on her sleeve, which must have been accidentally spilled when she was treating Brother Ha.

She didn't sense any malice from the group, so she didn't mind sharing some information with them.

"I was indeed injured by a zombie just now, but don't worry, not only will I not turn into a zombie, but I might even awaken superpowers, you see."

Hongtang released a small amount of wood energy. A shimmering point of light appeared on her fingertip, flickered a few times, and then disappeared, too small to be clearly seen.

"Wow, you really have superpowers! That's wonderful!" Liu Xinnan congratulated him sincerely.

"It's incredible that being injured by a zombie could awaken superpowers. This is a major discovery," Li Xiang said meaningfully, pushing up his glasses.

What's the meaning of this person wearing glasses without lenses, just a frame?

Hongtang was puzzled. It's the apocalypse, why pretend to be cool?

Xu Yang said solemnly, "Hong Tang, do you really have superpowers? Don't worry, we will keep it a secret for you and won't let the officials know."

He then gave a stern look to the team members. Li Xiang and Liu Xinnan nodded seriously, but Lin Yao asked stupidly, "Boss, having superpowers is a good thing, so why don't we let people know?"

"Lin Yao, are you stupid? If the authorities find out about this, they'll take Hongtang back and dissect her for research!" Liu Xinnan was furious with Lin Yao and seriously doubted his intelligence.

So many people were injured by zombies and turned into zombies, but Hongtang didn't. She's an exception. Isn't she worth studying?

Hongtang smiled. These people weren't bad people, which was quite rare in the apocalypse.

"Don't worry, I won't be captured and dissected. It's good that the authorities know, so when the soldiers are injured by zombies, they won't be treated immediately, and they might still have a chance to survive." Hong Tang tossed a few crystal cores up and down in her hand, attracting the attention of the others.

"Hongtang, what's that in your hand?" Li Xiang asked, feeling that Hongtang wouldn't put those things in front of them for no reason.

Hongtang gave Li Xiang an approving look; this man was intelligent.

"These are the crystal cores inside the zombies' heads; they can upgrade your superpower levels."
