In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.
Chapter 96 Inquiry and Winning Over
After dealing with the unpleasant matter, the two went to the virus laboratory at the First Base.
Hongtang submitted the white moth samples she had collected yesterday to the researchers and explained the situation in detail. Unexpectedly, she received a reward of 50 points.
In the laboratory, Hongtang also met Professor Jiang Haichao, a virologist and one of the survivors she rescued from the Second People's Hospital.
The old man looked much better than before; his face had filled out. He was still accompanied by the thin man in the white coat, Li Ming.
"Little sister, the test results should be available by noon tomorrow at the latest. I'll keep a copy for you then. By the way, where do you live? Do you want me to deliver it to you?"
Li Ming never imagined that the one who killed the zombies and saved them that day was such a young girl. Compared to her, he felt utterly useless, and he felt ashamed and wanted to do something for Hong Tang.
Hongtang: "!!!" Don't call me little sister [○?`Д′? ○].
"No need to trouble yourself, just keep it for me, I'll come pick it up in a few days."
After leaving the virus lab, the two went to the base's medical facility to find Wen Liangyu, a former neurosurgeon at the Second People's Hospital, a healing-type ability user, and one of the survivors rescued by Hongtang.
But he wasn't looking for her to reminisce; he was looking for intelligence. The high-ranking official who had been seriously injured by Xue Li's assassination attempt was being treated by Wen Liangyu.
"Dr. Wen, we meet again." Hongtang pulled down her mask, extended her hand, and greeted Wen Liangyu.
"Hello, who are you?" Wen Liangyu adjusted her glasses, puzzled. She didn't recognize the little girl in front of her, nor was she one of her patients. But she still extended her hand in a friendly manner and shook hands with Hongtang.
"I'm Hongtang. That night at the Second People's Hospital, I also gave Xiao An'an a bag of milk powder." Hongtang raised her little face and showed an innocent smile.
"Is Xiao An'an alright? She came to the First Base with you, right?" Thinking of that poor little baby girl, Hong Tang felt a pang of sorrow.
Wen Liangyu suddenly realized and said happily, "Oh, it's Miss Wen! I've been wanting to look for you, but I left in such a hurry that night that I didn't get a chance to thank you properly. Xiao An'an is with me now, and she's doing very well."
Hongtang and Wen Liangyu chatted idly, while Xue Li shook his head at her without making a sound, meaning that the person he was looking for was not in the clinic.
Hongtang took out the baby supplies she had prepared in advance, gave them to Wen Liangyu, and then the two left.
“If he’s not here, he must be somewhere hidden. Let’s wander around the base; maybe we can get some information,” Hongtang reassured Xue Li.
That person was an accomplice of the enemy who murdered Xue Li's relatives, so he was probably no good person either, and deserved to die.
"Hmm." Xue Li didn't seem to care much.
That person's injuries were more severe than his own. Wen Liangyu was the only healing-type ability user here, and her healing abilities were limited; he was probably still in bed. He'd search around nightfall and find him quickly.
The two went to the service hall and received another task: to salvage supplies from a sunken ship in the sea the next day.
The first base is located in the eastern part of Yangcheng, which is a coastal area with abundant marine resources and is also the world's fourth largest container port.
When the apocalyptic storm struck, hundreds of international cargo ships were stranded here. Later, the entire world froze overnight. Some of these ships were salvaged by the authorities in time, some sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared without a trace, and some drifted away with the surging waves to an unknown destination.
"Boss, it's rumored that a supercargo ship carrying 30 tons of crude oil is still missing. This mission might be very fruitful for us." Xue Li leaned closer to Hong Tang and whispered in her ear.
"Hmm." When she released her mental energy just now, she also heard people talking.
However, sensing that someone was also using mental energy to track her back, she withdrew her mental energy. There were quite a few high-level ability users in this base; it was better to be cautious.
However, crude oil contains various minerals and impurities and cannot be used directly. Shouldn't we build a refining production line?
Hongtang quickly dismissed the idea, inwardly cursing herself for being foolish. Now that she was a superhuman, perhaps she could extract gasoline and kerosene directly using her powers, just like collecting water.
But now is not the time to think about these things. Let's wait until we find the crude oil tanker.
"However, I've heard that there are many mutated animals and zombies over there, and they are of a high level and difficult to deal with. Perhaps it's related to the radiation from the nuclear wastewater, so we should be careful."
"Hmm." Compared to supplies, one's own life is of course more important, and these things are just icing on the cake for me.
"Well, did you find it?" Hongtang wanted to use her mental power to help Xue Li find the person, but he refused.
Xue Li naturally knew what Hong Tang was asking, and said, "Where is it?" He pointed to a villa in a corner, a mocking smile playing on his lips, "Looks like that man isn't dead yet. I'll go see him off tonight."
Although the villa was inconspicuous, it was secretly protected by at least 10 superhumans, not to mention dozens of plainclothes bodyguards patrolling the area.
"Do you need any help?" Hongtang asked. Seeing so many hidden bodyguards around the villa, she figured there were even more people inside.
"It's not a big deal to trouble the boss."
They symbolically exchanged some food and a barrel of diesel, then went to the virus lab to get the test report on the white moths before returning to the RV base. However, they found themselves surrounded by a group of people again.
Hongtang frowned unhappily. Who was this clueless person causing trouble again?
Before leaving, he left Tengteng and Sisi in the car. If anyone caused trouble, they would secretly intervene.
Sensing their owner's return, the two cubs also slipped out from the shadows.
"Swoosh~" While Mom and Dad were away, some bad guys tried to steal the car, but I poisoned them!
"Shh~" Wo hid his vine clone inside the bad guy's body, so that Mom could find him with a little sense!
After the two cubs finished complaining, Tengteng returned to Hongtang's palm and disappeared into her body. Sisi, on the other hand, wrapped around her wrist as a bracelet.
According to the contract, Hongtang understood the two children's meaning. At the same time, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Sisi had advanced to level three, and it had grown a second main vine that could sever itself and grow independently, which was equivalent to having a clone.
"Tengteng and Sisi are wonderful, they truly are their mother's children." Hongtang stroked Sisi on her wrist and praised her two children repeatedly through their mental connection.
Meanwhile, Xue Li had already gone over to find out what was going on. It turned out that six or seven groups of people had heard of the two men's infamous reputation and had come to recruit them.
They include members of special ability teams, members of powerful families, and even people in base management, and the recruitment conditions they offer are very generous.
Xue Li explained the situation to Hong Tang, and Hong Tang decided to cooperate with the base management without hesitation. However, it was the base's military, not the government.
Because she had just heard someone mention Chen Qi, the one who was in cahoots with Li Xiao, she still had a certain degree of goodwill towards the two of them.
Moreover, they are both from special forces. If we get to know each other better, we might be able to get some combat equipment like flying vehicles from them in the future.
She was really envious of those things.
