In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.
Chapter 97 Chen Qi's Visit
After Xue Li explained the two men's decision to the representatives of each team, everyone left.
Those who tried to persuade Xue Li to reconsider were also coldly dismissed by him. In the end, only the military personnel remained to discuss the mission for the next day with the two.
The first base's special ability teams are required to have at least five members on missions. However, due to the urgent need for manpower during this special period, the requirement has been relaxed to at least three members.
There was no other way; we didn't have enough staff, so we had to use our pets.
So Hongtang told the staff member Ha Ge's name. Then, to the staff member's shock and disbelief, he saw Ha Ge, wielding his electric powers, smash the material exchange display stand to ashes, and then mechanically add Ha Ge's name to the registration list.
If Hongtang had known so many people would try to recruit her into the superpower team, she wouldn't have exposed Brother Ha's superpower because of a lack of personnel.
After showing off his skills today, many people will probably focus their attention on Brother Ha again.
However, when the soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when the water comes, the earth will cover them up.
Once tonight is over, they'll take advantage of a mission tomorrow to run away.
"Things might get a little dangerous tonight, so we should be careful." After giving this advice, Hongtang went back to her room to rest.
Xue Li then began preparing dinner. Hong Tang had given him several automatic cooking robots so he could practice his culinary skills.
Now that it's just the two of them eating, the food they have will eventually run out, so they still have to cook some themselves when they have time. Although Xue Li doesn't have much cooking skill, he's still more adept at using these kitchen utensils than Hong Tang.
During dinner, Chen Qi came over. Hong Tang invited him to dine with her.
Seeing the table full of dishes, including braised pork, dry-fried green beans, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, fried mushrooms, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried pork with cucumber, stewed beef brisket with tomatoes, salt and pepper shrimp, and more than a dozen other dishes, there were even two soups: morel mushroom and meatball soup and coconut chicken soup.
Chen Qi stared wide-eyed.
Such a large table of food might not seem like much before the apocalypse, but in the apocalypse, it's quite extravagant.
Even he, as the third-in-command in the military, only had one extravagant meal a week, consisting of two vegetarian dishes: shredded potatoes and stir-fried cabbage, both of which were frozen or dehydrated vegetables. The rest of the time, he mostly ate dry rations with hot water.
But what lies before me is a table full of delicious dishes made from fresh ingredients.
Can two people finish all this food?
Also, where did they get so many supplies, and how did they store them?
These two definitely have a big secret!
His eyes flickered, but he suppressed his doubts and thoughts. He quickly picked up his rice bowl and began to eat heartily.
I thought to myself that as a soldier, I should abide by military discipline and regulations and not take advantage of the people by demanding bribes or favors. However, these are special times, and the people are so enthusiastic and it's hard to refuse, so I'll just have to accept it reluctantly.
But to everyone's surprise, Hongtang only politely invited her and then fell silent. Seeing that the two of them had already eaten half a bowl of rice, it would be a shame to refuse again if she were to be reserved and refuse, given the abundance of food on the table.
In a flash, all the food on the table was gone into Chen Qi's stomach.
Xue Li awkwardly touched his nose and glanced apologetically at Hong Tang, wondering if he had unintentionally revealed too much information and whether it would cause trouble for his boss.
The reason he cooked so many dishes tonight was simply to test which automatic cooking robot was the best; after all, Hongtang had given him ten different models. Hongtang had wanted to give him a few more, but he strongly refused.
That's why he made so many dishes. He figured if the two of them couldn't finish them, they could store them in Hongtang's storage ring and eat them next time.
Why not store it in his own storage bracelet?
Because his space can only store things, not keep food fresh, and it's not infinitely tall as he initially thought. It's only about 10 meters high at most. Therefore, the total space is only a little over 2000 cubic meters.
But he was content. Having something was better than having nothing.
But now, things haven't gone as planned. The food has all ended up in the man's stomach.
Xue Li was puzzled and confused. Were the military so poor now that they couldn't even afford to eat?
He seemed to have forgotten that he used to only be able to eat instant noodles and compressed biscuits, and it was only recently, after following Hongtang, that he was able to eat delicious food.
Hongtang shook her head at Xue Li without caring at all.
So what if they're exposed? They're going to run away tomorrow anyway. These people won't find them.
"Burp." Chen Qi burped contentedly after his meal.
"It seems Miss Tang has been hiding her strength. Last time we met, you said you didn't have any special abilities." He remembered that Hong Tang didn't like being called "Miss Hong".
However, he truly hadn't expected that the little girl he hadn't seen before was indeed a young girl, looking only about ten years old. And her strength was not to be underestimated.
Last time she was all alone, and now, just a few days later, she has subordinates. He had heard Xue Li call her "boss."
Judging from his demeanor, Xue Li is no ordinary person. If we could win them over to our side, it might bolster the military's strength.
He heard from the Flying Eagle Squad that Hong Tang only agreed to form a temporary team and did not actually join.
"It was just a coincidence, pure luck." Hongtang used the same excuse she used when she awakened her superpowers.
"So it was you all along." Chen Qi was also surprised.
Previously, some of their comrades who were injured by zombies either perished alongside the zombies or committed suicide to avoid endangering others. Since news spread that some people had awakened supernatural abilities after being infected by zombies, they now wait a period after being injured, and a few have indeed awakened their abilities. Although the probability is low, it's still good news.
Chen Qi reiterated the purpose of his visit to the two men, explaining just how difficult tomorrow's mission would be and urging them to proceed with caution. He also mentioned that he had already assigned the two men to his team.
The special operations team consists of more than twenty squads. The Flying Eagle Squad came to find them in the afternoon, while he and Li Xiao were both in the Flying Tiger Squad. Li Xiao was away on another mission, so he was leading the team this time.
Chen Qi then reminded the two, "Today you rejected recruitment offers from several other forces, which may cause them resentment and lead to them secretly sabotaging you. Be careful." These two have only just arrived at the base and have already caused several deaths; they are too high-profile, making it hard for anyone not to notice them.
These two were the players he had his eye on, so he specially transferred a group of people over to strengthen nighttime patrols around the RV base to prevent anyone from making a sneak attack.
An open enemy is not scary; it's the lurking villains in the shadows that are troublesome.
Hongtang thanked him and saw him off.
It was already dark, but Xue Li still had to go out and get things done. It was dinnertime, everyone was more relaxed, so it was the perfect time.
As soon as Chen Qi left, Hong Tang urged Xue Li to go out, saying, "Go quickly and come back quickly."
Xue Li nodded, then disappeared into the shadows.
Hongtang released her spiritual power and sensed a dark figure rushing out of the RV and quickly flying in one direction, constantly changing into various shapes along the way.
"It's a really strange ability." Unfortunately, my sister doesn't understand this ability either.
Even Xue Li himself wasn't entirely sure.
Later, he discovered that he could merge into the darkness, transform his body into various forms, and control, corrode, and devour things, even directly corroding low-level zombies.
He named this superpower "Dark Element Superpower".
The reason he was injured that night was because that person also had a dark-type ability user by his side.
His rank is slightly higher than his.
