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

"A dark-type ability user? That's mysterious and amazing," Hongtang murmured to herself, eager to see for herself.

Unfortunately, Xue Li was no match for him, and he couldn't get a feel for it.

However, among those who came to win him over today were his subordinates.

Xue Li once said that the person was narrow-minded and vindictive.

They rejected him today, humiliating him, so he'll most likely send someone to retaliate tonight.

I thought this was just a normal team member recruitment, but I didn't expect that someone would hold a grudge because they couldn't be recruited.

Even Chen Qi, who had only met him twice, came over to subtly warn him, which shows how despicable and ruthless that person was.

Information gathered today indicates that the First Base is jointly managed by the government, the military, and several powerful families. While these forces maintain a facade of peace, they are constantly engaged in covert struggles—fighting for territory, resources, talent, and control, among other things.

Today I've become a victim of their struggle.

Hongtang pursed her lips, finding it somewhat amusing, and at the same time began to look forward to it.

Forty minutes later, Xue Li rushed back.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Did you get chased by a dog?" Hongtang saw that Xue Li's face was pale and his body was weak, which meant that his superpowers were exhausted. So she poured him a glass of water and secretly added some energy water to it.

Xue Li took the water, nodded his thanks, and drank two large glasses of water. He took a breath and said, "There are at least 100 bodyguards inside the villa, 30 or 40 outside, and more than 20 superhumans in the shadows, so it took a while."

Huh, that's strange. After drinking the water, I feel much better about the emptiness inside me, and my energy has returned. Keep in mind, with so many people guarding the area, it took him quite a bit of effort to finally deal with that person. But he was lucky he didn't encounter the dark-elemental ability user who had injured him.

Suddenly, Xue Li noticed a tall, burly man standing in the corner. How come he hadn't noticed him before?

This...this...isn't this the dark-elemental ability user who's even more powerful than me? The boss actually captured him alive.

Xue Li was shocked. Was the young lady, the boss, really so powerful that it was unfathomable?

"How did the boss catch him?"

“I locked onto him with my mental power, so he can’t move,” Hongtang said calmly.

In fact, she used her spatial domain to confine this person to a one-square-meter area. This person was tall and strong, and with limited space, he naturally couldn't move.

Furthermore, if he were to unleash any attack, the spatial domain would automatically reflect it back. After trying a few times and sustaining serious injuries from his own supernatural attacks, he became docile.

"Can you use his crystal core?" Dark-type abilities are special abilities, one in a million, and crystal cores are hard to find, making advancement difficult.

Now that she's found the crystal core for him, she doesn't need to get her hands dirty.

Xue Li's expression was strange. Was the boss keeping this person around because he wanted to "eat and slaughter him on the spot"?

Actually, dark-type abilities can absorb any crystal core, so advancement is very fast; he's already at level four. However, mental-type abilities are much harder to advance. It was only after meeting his boss that he inexplicably advanced to level two.

Hongtang removed the spatial domain, leaving only a mental barrier to prevent him from harming anyone.

After studying him for a while, Xue Li said, "This person is deaf and mute, perhaps he is also an experimental subject, which is pitiful. I just don't know how that person controlled this expert."

After saying that, he turned into a black shadow and dragged the man out of the RV.

You can't rip someone off in your own room, especially since this is the boss's territory.

Soon, Xue Li returned. He showed the translucent black crystal core to Hong Tang, then put it back into his bracelet space, saving it for future advancement. He then stared silently at the kettle on the table.

What does it mean?

It took Hongtang a while to realize that Xue Li had discovered the difference in this pot of water.

She wasn't stingy either. She took out a 4.5-liter bottle of water from her spatial storage, which had long since been replaced with energy water.

"This contains concentrated water that can restore your superpowers. You can dilute it in your drinking water, which will also help you upgrade your superpowers."

Xue Li happily accepted it and solemnly put it into his storage bracelet.

The atmosphere was relaxed for Hongtang and her companion, but it wasn't so pleasant for the others.

Inside a tent.

A scarred man sat in the center, surrounded by a woman and three men. In the corner lay a thin monkey with a pale face and purple lips.

"Brother Lao Lai, how's your decision? Should we join forces?"

The scarred man remained silent, his face grim. The man who had spoken gave the woman a meaningful look.

The woman said angrily and sadly, "Brother Lai, those two are really strange. We not only lost face before, but now even Skinny Monkey has been dragged into this mess. We've suffered a huge loss. You can't just let this go like this."

The woman spoke in a high-pitched, affected voice, and the men felt their bodies go numb just from hearing her voice, wishing they could give her their hearts immediately. However, her head was now bald, covered only by a headscarf, and her face was a dark, grimy mess, making her look quite comical and ugly.

This woman is the same girl with the sweet voice who banged on Hongtang's car door before.

The woman with the sweet, coquettish voice has this peculiar quality. Any man who comes into contact with her is unknowingly bewitched. This is also why Lao Lai keeps her by his side—to cultivate relationships with other factions and to gather intelligence.

However, they encountered a large number of zombies and mutated animals on their way, suffering heavy losses, leaving only these few survivors. They had only recently arrived at the First Base.

He had hoped to make a name for himself again, but unexpectedly, he ran into the formidable "Black and White Duo" right away, suffering two setbacks in quick succession.

Fortunately, the woman with the sweet voice only suffered physical damage; her voice was still intact and somewhat useful.

Although he was furious, Lao Lai knew he was outnumbered and couldn't fight back. However, seeing someone even more eager to act than him, he sneered inwardly, thinking, "Trying to use me as a tool? Dream on!"

But he can also use them as weapons.

He then gave the woman with the sweet voice a meaningful look and slowly nodded.

In another RV.

"Boss, these two newcomers are clueless. They've only been here for a day and haven't even figured out who's in charge yet, but they've already killed seven or eight people. They're too arrogant."

"Alright, Li Xiao'er, your name is just 'Xiao'er,' don't actually mean 'second'. Talking so loudly and nonsense, do you think everyone is hard of hearing? Aren't you afraid those two will hear you and give you a lightning bolt, and then drag everyone else down with them?"

He was watching the spectacle last night, and he saw it all. The lightning was crackling and as thick as a sausage; if it struck him, it would be no joke.

The girl with the sweet voice wasn't electrocuted on the spot because they showed her mercy.

"Alright, stop arguing. We'll talk about this later." The eldest brother's gaze was deep as he made the final decision.

That couple is too strange. Today, while they were away, several people tried to raid their RV. But as soon as they got close, they were inexplicably poisoned and collapsed. I can't be like those idiots and act rashly.

Inside a luxurious villa.

"The Black and White Duo?" The girl put her feet on the balance bike, started the remote control in her hand, and the balance bike began to move on the floor, shuttling back and forth in front of and behind a group of bodyguards in black.

She glanced at the row of bodyguards in black, seemingly unintentionally.

All the bodyguards lowered their heads and trembled.
