Su Chen, who was carrying Wan Ling on his back, muttered and said, “She’s a little heavy.”
Gao Fei, who was walking in front, heard Su Chen’s words, and his eyebrows jumped.
“Kid, you really know how to act. Not to mention, you’ve awakened your strength-type superpower, and even if you haven’t awakened your superpower yet, wouldn’t it be easy for you to carry an Origin Stone that weighs more than 50 kilograms?”
Hearing Gao Fei’s reply, Su Chen was a little surprised. He could tell that this exploration mission had yielded a lot, and that he, as the captain, was in a good mood.
He could even chat normally!
However, the current Su Chen was really bitter.
He had just finished absorbing the bull’s energy and soul and had yet to completely digest them.
In addition to the previous intense battle, his original physical strength had long been exhausted.. Bringing Wan Ling to climb out of the ruins had already exhausted all of Su Chen’s strength.
Right now, he really did not have any strength.
However, Su Chen naturally would not explain the situation of his superpower to Gao Fei. He did not want to be dissected and studied.
Right now, he had already fused with the bull’s soul and confirmed the ability of his superpower.
Su Chen had personally witnessed the rapid evolution of the monsters in the wasteland. If he wanted to survive, his current strength was far from enough.
He still needed to be stronger.
The next step should be to think of a way to join the battle sequence. Only in this way could he come into contact with more Origin Beasts and obtain the opportunity to become stronger.
After all, there were only a few missions that the workers could participate in.
They were more in charge of cleaning up after the battle.
Everyone was silent throughout the rest of the journey. The two of them seemed to have their own worries as they silently walked out of the spaceship wreckage.
The dangers along the way seemed to have been specially cleared up by Mark. Other than occasionally seeing one or two petrified centipede corpses, they did not see any other dangers.
Mark had left marks at every intersection. Following the route that Mark had given them, the two of them soon saw the exit.
Seeing the light coming from the exit, Su Chen felt as if he had been reborn.
During this mission, there was almost no time to rest. Ever since they entered the spaceship wreckage, they were either fighting or on the road of escape.
It consumed a lot of their mental and physical strength.
Su Chen walked toward the light. Su Chen found that where they came out from was the front of the spaceship. The entire exploration team almost spanned the entire spaceship.
When they were near the gap, Su Chen looked at the uneven edges of the gap. He judged that this should be the exit that the workers had cut out with a chainsaw.
Mark must have chosen a passage close to the outside world so that they could forcefully break it open.
If they continued to explore the unknown area of the spaceship, they might encounter even more danger.
Although they had only searched the hull area and the command center of the spaceship, they had still gained a lot from this operation.
This time, they had obtained quite a number of Origin Stones, and they had also found quite a number of other living supplies.
“Captain! Are you guys alright?”
Mark, who was leaning against the supplies cart, was delighted.
They had just returned to the ground when they felt the violent shaking of the spaceship behind them.
That movement was enough to make them believe that the wreckage of the spaceship had collapsed on the spot!
This made Mark so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. However, due to Gao Fei’s orders, he did not dare to enter without permission to check the situation.
Now that he saw the three of them appear, he was naturally delighted.
“Wan Ling, this is…”
Seeing the pale Wan Ling behind Su Chen, Mark asked with concern.
“It’s just that my spiritual power has been consumed too much and I’m exhausted,” Gao Fei replied.
“That’s good. This operation is too dangerous. When I return, I want to enjoy myself for a few days!”
Mark let out a long sigh of relief.
Even he, who had participated in many missions, felt his heart skip a beat when he carried out this mission.
It was a miracle that only two workers were killed in this level of mission!
Gao Fei looked at the wrist guard in his hand and said, “It’s getting late. Let’s return.”
The wasteland at night was extremely dangerous. Not only was there a lack of light, but most of the creatures in the wasteland would also be active during this time.
Therefore, the exploration team almost never left the lighthouse at night.
Every operation could only be carried out after the researchers had confirmed it.
After putting Wan Ling in the transport vehicle, Su Chen prepared to return to the vehicle he had been in previously.
This mission had sent out a total of three vehicles, two tactical SUVs, and a material transport vehicle.
“Holy sh*t! You really survived!” Seeing Su Chen walking over, Gu Xin was both surprised and happy.
Su Chen held his forehead and said, “What kind of jinx is this? If you don’t know how to speak, then shut your mouth.”
How could he speak?
Did he, Su Chen, look like he would die so easily?
“No, I mean, why did you stay?!”
“Do you not want to die?”
Gu Xin asked, his face full of confusion.
The opponent was a D-rank Origin Beast, and an Origin Beast that knew how to use its special ability!
Although Gu Xin did not know the concept of an Origin Beast being able to use its special ability, but thinking about it, it was definitely not a battle that a worker like Su Chen could intervene in!
At that time, when Su Chen threw the storage box to him, Gu Xin’s eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets. If the situation was not too urgent, he would have dragged Su Chen away no matter what!
Now that Su Chen had returned safely, Gu Xin finally asked the question in his heart.
Gu Xin was waiting for Su Chen’s reply when he saw Su Chen approach him with a mysterious expression.
“F*ck! What are you doing? I don’t have that kind of hobby!” Gu Xin quickly clutched his chest, looking shocked.
Su Chen acted like he was about to vomit. “Don’t f*cking disgust me. Are you still going to listen or not?”
“I just want to liven up the atmosphere. Besides, there’s only the two of us in this car. Why are you being so mysterious?”
“Ahem.” Su Chen coughed when he heard Gu Xin’s words.
He looked at Gu Xin. Captain Gao Fei was in charge of driving this car. He was an evolved human, so he might be able to hear everything.
“You don’t treat Captain Gao Fei as a human, do you?!”
Gu Xin seemed to have just reacted, and hurriedly lowered his voice.
“F*ck, I forgot about this. It’s fine, you can continue.”
Seeing that the topic had finally come back, Su Chen said leisurely, “I knew that the Origin Beast wasn’t simple, so I stayed.”
“Well, when I was fighting with that Origin Beast, I awakened my special ability!”
After saying that, Su Chen casually released a wave of energy and showed it to Gu Xin.
Gu Xin was confused and speechless.
“F*ck! Can a superpower be awakened like that? Then, I, fatty, will suffer a huge loss! Next time, I will find an Origin Beast to fight with!”
Su Chen was rendered speechless by his comments.
What kind of strange brain circuits does this fatty have? Was that what I said?
Su Chen hurriedly explained in a serious manner, afraid that Gu Xin would seek his own death!
The general meaning was that after Mark and the others left, he and Wan Ling had survived Captain Gao Fei’s heroic battle.
However, Su Chen did not explain in detail why he had awakened his special ability.
Even so, Gao Fei was still amazed by Su Chen’s story of his encounter that he was telling Gu Xin.
The last person who had awakened his special ability in battle was that legendary figure in the base.
Gao Fei heard their conversation clearly along the way.
In conclusion, Su Chen’s words were completely out of line, scaring Gu Xin into a daze.
However, when it came to Gao Fei’s powerful performance in battle, Gao Fei felt quite comfortable listening to it.
What Su Chen said was not completely unreliable!
There were not many accidents on the way back, and the Origin Beasts that occasionally appeared were also quickly shaken off by the powerful horsepower of the vehicles.
Not long after, a huge monster made of steel appeared at the end of Su Chen’s field of vision, which was the base.
