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

Out of good intentions, Li Xiao deliberately frowned and coldly reminded him:

"This place is more dangerous than you think. It's not suitable for an ordinary person like you to live here. You should go back to where you came from."

He then turned to Xue Li and asked, "Xue Li, from the capital? What brings you to Yangcheng?"

Li Xiao's scrutinizing gaze scanned Xue Li from head to toe, as if he were determined to find something out about him.

However, the other party was dressed entirely in black, with only their eyes showing, and they were completely emotionless; he couldn't detect anything. Moreover, the other party's aura was in no way inferior to his own.

As a soldier, Li Xiao's curiosity and concern for Xue Li deepened even further.

Xue Li, suddenly called out, was speechless. What's wrong with being from Beijing? There was no need for such blatant suspicion. Those eyes were so wide, practically glued to him.

"I've come here to find my family." But he's only here to find the enemy who murdered his family before the apocalypse.

Heaven has eyes; the trip to Yangcheng was worthwhile. Except for the last person whose fate was uncertain, the rest were dealt with by myself.

That night, I launched a sneak attack at the hospital entrance, but I didn't expect the man to be protected by a skilled fighter. We both ended up seriously injured. I used my full strength; even if the man didn't die, he would be crippled.

I originally intended to return to Beijing as soon as possible, but now I might take this opportunity to enter the First Base and check the situation. If that person isn't dead, I can finish him off.

"I couldn't find anyone at the second base, so I came to the first base to check. If I still can't find them here, I'll return to Beijing." Not wanting to be questioned further, Xue Li quickly added, his tone as cold as ever.

"Li Xiao, are you done yet? You've taken too long!" The person behind Li Xiao kicked the snow impatiently, seemingly fed up with Li Xiao's questioning.

Oh, so this person is Li Xiao. He was also wearing a mask, so Hongtang didn't recognize him immediately, but his voice sounded somewhat familiar.

But she remembered that this person and someone named Chen Qi had bought mutated wolf meat from her, though she had removed the crystal core beforehand. She wondered if they realized she was behind it all after discovering the wolf's head was empty of the crystal core.

Moreover, they were the leaders of that joint operation, so they were "comrades-in-arms" who had fought together.

"Oh, it's Commander Li! I didn't recognize you earlier, I'm sorry." Hongtang laughed and tried to brush it off.

Li Xiao glared at Hong Tang, then turned back and shouted to the man, "Right away!"

Then, with a heavy heart, she advised, "It's really dangerous here. You're just an ordinary person; you should hurry back to the second base." Listen to advice, young lady. But I couldn't say anything more.

"Don't worry, Commander Li, I'm a superhuman now too." Hong Tang spread her hands, and a golden energy emanated from them.

Li Xiao frowned, somewhat surprised, and said with a heavy heart, "This is a metal-type ability. How did you suddenly develop an ability?" She was just an ordinary person a few days ago. Her ability wasn't strong; it was clearly only recently awakened.

"Hehe, I was also on a mission at the Second People's Hospital that day. I accidentally got scratched on the back of my hand by a zombie, and then I discovered that I had superpowers the next day. It's just that the superpowers were unstable at the time, and the official instruments couldn't detect them. They've only stabilized recently."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao's face darkened again, and he said in a low voice, "So the person who awakened superpowers after being scratched by a zombie is actually you."

He moved closer to Hongtang and whispered, "The First Base has a mutant organism research lab. Be careful. It's best to leave." (While you're being dissected, be careful not to get taken away.)

Hongtang was grateful for Li Xiao's subtle reminder. However, her information had already been registered with the authorities, and if she was being targeted, these people would make their move sooner or later.

If anyone dares to have any ill intentions towards me, I will definitely take action.

"Commander Li, your comrades are getting impatient. You'd better get back to work."

Seeing that Hongtang didn't seem to care about his words, Li Xiao hesitated. But thinking of his mission, he could only leave with the words, "I hope you'll still be alive when I return," before flying away with his comrades.

Hongtang felt incredibly envious again.

The ability to fly freely in the air is really cool.

"These two should be wind-type ability users, and their level is not low," Xue Li, who had been hiding in the darkness as a pillar, said.

"The military has many new types of superpowers that can unleash the infinite potential of the human body. They are all soldiers, and perhaps they are all very successful test subjects."

"How did you know?" Hongtang asked instinctively. It turned out that humans had already begun researching superpowers long ago. Most of the pre-apocalyptic reports about superpowers from abroad were probably true.

However, she now seriously suspects that Xue Li was also a soldier in the past, otherwise how would he know so many confidential things?

As for now, although his aura was also fierce and powerful, it was still quite different from the military bearing of Li Xiao, Chen Qi, and even Chen Jinghe. One was righteous and awe-inspiring, the other mysterious and unpredictable.

Xue Li remained silent.

"You still can't tell, right? I knew it." Hongtang seemed to have expected this and didn't seem to care much. She circled around Xue Li, talking as she walked, while also paying attention to the changes in Xue Li's eyes.

“That night, the assassin who attempted to kill a high-ranking official at the First Base escaped outside the Second People’s Hospital. It’s said he was shot through the abdomen, and his fate is unknown. The authorities have been searching for him for days without success. This situation is somewhat similar to yours; I now suspect you are that assassin.” Hong Tang stopped in front of Xue Li, staring intently into his eyes, and said with absolute certainty.

Xue Li remained silent, his eyes expressionless, showing no embarrassment at being seen through.

Hongtang, feeling bored, continued, "It's said that the high-ranking official who was assassinated has been rescued and is now hanging on by a thread." She overheard this news when she went to Bai Yichun's house to ask for the Extreme Cold Seeds after leaving the Second Base.

Xue Li remained silent, his eyes devoid of any emotion. It seemed he didn't really care about the life or death of that high-ranking official.

The mission objective hasn't been achieved yet, and they're already trying to retreat? This assassin is unprofessional!

Just when Hongtang thought Xue Li would continue to remain silent, he confessed.

"Five years ago, I was a mercenary in the United States. Later, I was betrayed and nearly lost my life. To survive and seek revenge, I became an assassin..."

It turns out that Xue Li had been studying abroad since high school and became an outstanding mercenary after graduation. Later, due to jealousy, he was framed and sold to an underground laboratory for human experimentation. Coincidentally, this laboratory was about human superpowers.

Unfortunately, his experiment failed, and his body was abandoned in a deserted forest on a rainy night. But whether it was due to the drug's delayed effect or divine intervention, he came back to life and inexplicably gained supernatural abilities.

This superpower allows him to use various shadows to hide and change his form, killing people invisibly.

He later went into hiding under an assumed name, and then avenged himself by killing his enemy. He then prepared to return home to reunite with his family.

But when he returned, he discovered that his family had also been secretly murdered by that mysterious laboratory.

He originally intended to return to the United States to avenge his family by finding that organization, but the apocalypse struck. He also inadvertently learned of his family's deaths and that there were accomplices back home. Thus began his path of revenge as an assassin.

That high-ranking official at the First Base was the last known enemy and accomplice of his.
