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

"Meow meow!"

The dark-faced man has finally woken up. Come and fight me for three hundred rounds!

Hongtang turned her head and saw Xue Li, dressed entirely in black except for his eyes, standing behind her.

This guy finally woke up.

When Ha Ge saw Xue Li, he struggled vigorously in Hong Tang's arms.

She ruffled its fluffy head, tossed it to the ground, and instructed, "Daddy has something important to discuss. Go and set up a perimeter."

"Meow!" Ha Ge meowed and disappeared into the night.

"How do you know all this so clearly?" Hongtang was very curious as to why Xue Li knew these things. Could he also be a special forces soldier? She had even suspected him of being an assassin before.

Moreover, this person had just woken up from serious injuries, but showed no signs of illness whatsoever, as if getting injured was commonplace for him.

Xue Li did not avoid Hong Tang's scrutinizing gaze, but met it directly and said frankly, "It's not convenient to talk about."

"Hehe, I'm your savior, and I saved you twice." Fine, if you don't want to tell me, fine, everyone has secrets. But surely I can save you for free, right?

Hongtang pointed to his Mercedes SUV and made up a story, "To save you, I abandoned my own car on the road and only drove yours here. Since you're alright now, consider this car as compensation. Of course, I don't want the supplies inside; you can take them all." As for how to take them, that was none of her business.

Xue Li was in a daze at this moment.

He was surprised to find himself in his own bed when he woke up yesterday morning. The night before, he had been beaten up by the girl across the hall and passed out at her house.

How did I get home? The doors and windows were locked. And my severe abdominal injury seemed to have healed considerably.

He had already fainted and was completely powerless to fight back. If the girl had been ruthless, he would have died on the spot.

Realizing that the girl across the hall might have saved him, Xue Li tensed up.

The girl across the hall not only possesses psychic abilities, but her level is also higher than mine. Perhaps she has other unknown abilities as well.

She's dangerous! Don't confront her head-on.

This was Xue Li's prediction based on years of experience as an assassin.

He had finished his business in Yangcheng, so he decided to leave as soon as possible. However, just outside Yangcheng's territory, due to exhaustion, he lost control of his vehicle and overturned, passing out again. In the freezing cold, he could easily have frozen to death.

But he was too lucky and was saved by the girl across the hall.

The person saved him twice, and only asked for his car as a reward. He not only didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but he also felt that the girl across the street was asking for too little.

Even though he was an assassin, he still had to repay the debt of saving his life.

"Ahem," Xue Li coughed lightly twice, pressing his fist to his lips, and said, "Okay." His tone was as cold as ever.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked slowly, "What's your name?" He should at least know his benefactor's name.

The girl acted so swiftly the night before last, and he was too badly injured to pay much attention to her appearance. And now she's wearing a mask too.

You need to know at least one of them: a name or a face.

Looking back now, knowing the name seems easier.

Hongtang stood to the side and saw Xue Li cough twice and his eyes turn red, knowing that he must be forcing himself to stay healthy.

But since he agreed to give her the car so readily, she still thought highly of him.

This person may be aloof and not talkative, but they are decisive and efficient. However, if they want to know your name, well...

"It's not convenient to talk about it," Hongtang replied, repeating his words verbatim.

Xue Li was speechless for a moment, then coughed a few times. After catching his breath, he said, "The supplies in the car are yours too. These things are not enough to repay the kindness of saving me twice."

After a moment of silence, he uttered a few more words heavily, "Consider it a debt I, Xue Li, owe you. If in the future..."

Hongtang waved her hand, interrupting Xue Li, "Don't talk to me about the future. Who knows if there will be a future? If you want to repay the favor, do it now. If you don't want to or don't have the ability, then forget it. Didn't I just say that I only want that car?" That was the car she had enhanced with her metal-type ability once. Although it had paint chips and scratches, it still had sentimental value.

Xue Li: "..." This girl is so direct. But right now, besides his life, he has nothing of value and nothing to repay her with.

As a professional hitman, should I kill for the girl in return?

Xue Li was startled by his own thought and shook his head inwardly.

This girl doesn't look very old. If it weren't for the apocalypse, she'd still be studying in the ivory tower of academia right now. I can't lead her astray.

So, he could be her bodyguard?

No. I still need to go to Beijing. The trip is dangerous, and the outcome is uncertain. If I survive, this method might work. However, the girl seems more capable than me. I don't know who will protect whom then.

In that case, teaching her self-defense techniques wouldn't be feasible.

Xue Li's brows furrowed tightly beneath his black mask. He truly didn't know how to repay them. If all else failed, he'd just have to let it go.

Hongtang had no idea what Xue Li was thinking. Seeing that he didn't speak again, she ignored him and turned back to watch the special forces "performance" in the air.

Soon, the procession in the sky flew far away, but two figures sped towards them.

"Who are you, and why are you lingering here?" Two figures stopped about a meter tall in the air a short distance away and asked from above.

The two of them were standing in mid-air?!

Hongtang was shocked.

This is a real aerial acrobat! He can fly without even using a flying motorcycle!

envy, jealousy, hate!

However, she quickly calmed down. Seeing that the two men were dressed in the same uniforms as the special forces soldiers who had just flown by, their identities were self-evident.

"Sir, we are survivors from the Second Base. We heard that there are more zombies and mutated animals in the First Base, so we wanted to come here to hunt them for crystal cores," Hong Tang said seriously. This was indeed her purpose in coming here.

Then she pulled out her base card from her pocket. This was like an ID card in the apocalypse, with her name and photo on it, and it couldn't be faked.

Xue Li, who had been standing there in a daze, also snapped out of it and took out his base card from his pocket.

Upon seeing this, the two people in the air landed on the ground. One of them quickly stepped forward, took the base cards from the two of them, and began to examine them.

“Hongtang?” Li Xiao read out Hongtang’s name, then looked at her with surprise.

So it was this girl. No wonder she was so blunt earlier. She's a ruthless woman who single-handedly took down several mutated wolves.

However, the situation at Base One is far more complex than at Base Two, and the zombies and mutated animals there are incredibly powerful and difficult to deal with. Most of the military forces have been redeployed, and factional infighting within the base is intense, making the situation less than optimistic.

The girl had said she was just an ordinary person, but even those with superpowers face many dangers here. He couldn't help but worry about the situation she was about to face.

Such a lovely young girl, why didn't she stay at the Second Base, but insisted on coming to the First Base?

It's like an old man hanging himself; he's tired of living.
