The post-apocalyptic world has a space full of supplies.

Chapter 186 Welcome Party (3)

Ji Lang and Lin Yun quickly squeezed out of the crowd. However, Lu Yuan also saw on the other side that a small path had been cleared in the crowd, and Zhao Qi walked out from the middle, with a young girl leaning against him. Her clothes were disheveled, and it was obvious that the two of them had just been doing something.

"What? Didn't Captain Wen explain things clearly to your team members?" Zhao Qi glanced at Wang Sanhai, who was still grabbing Wen Zhou's collar, and Liu Jia next to him. There were also several other team members with Wen Zhou on the other side. If Wen Zhou hadn't stopped them, they would have rushed up and attacked Wang Sanhai and Liu Jia.

"Brother Sanhai, what's going on?" Lu Yuan held down Wang Sanhai's other hand, which was about to smash Wen Zhou's face, and pushed Lan Yichen, who was originally next to Wen Zhou, aside. He was worried that if these people got into a fight, they might accidentally hurt Lan Yichen, since he was now just an ordinary person without any superpowers.

"That son of a bitch, he killed Jin Laosi!" Wang Sanhai grabbed Wen Zhou's collar again, trying to suppress his emotions.

Jin Laosi was a friend of Wang Sanhai for a long time. Before the outbreak of the virus, Wang Sanhai went to sea to work on a ship. When he returned from the sea, he found that everyone in his family had turned into zombies. He unintentionally saved Jin Laosi and later joined Li Minze's base. The two of them had always had a good relationship. When Jin Laosi awakened his superpower, if it weren't for him, he might have been burned to death.

"Are you sure?" Ji Lang and Lin Yun asked Liu Jia, noticing Wang Sanhai's heightened emotions. Compared to Wang Sanhai, Liu Jia was much calmer.

“I’m not entirely sure,” Liu Jia shook his head first, then said with a troubled expression, “but today he suddenly awakened the same earth-type ability as Jin Laosi.”

"Awakening a superpower doesn't prove anything, does it?" Zhong Qiang muttered to himself behind the crowd.

"But damn it, this bastard awakened to have the same level five superpower as Jin Laosi. What does that prove?" Although Zhong Qiang's voice was very soft, Wang Sanhai still heard it and immediately shouted loudly.

"This..." Lin Yun and Ji Lang exchanged glances, but seeing that Wen Zhou was not angry at all, they felt that he had not done this and had a clear conscience.

"Everyone, we can't make things up without any evidence. We still have a welcome party today, so let's not spoil everyone's fun." Zhao Qi patted Wang Sanhai on the shoulder, trying to get him to let go of Wen Zhou's hand, but Wang Sanhai wouldn't give him that face and stubbornly refused to let go.

“Captain Ji, this isn’t good. Captain Wen is one of our base’s men now. Don’t expect us to protect him.” Zhao Qi’s words were clear. Wen Zhou and the soldiers behind him were already members of the Beijing base, but they weren’t. If things got out of hand, the base would definitely side with Wen Zhou.

Upon hearing Zhao Qi's words, although Lu Yuan didn't know exactly what had happened, he instinctively looked at Lan Yichen beside him. However, Lan Yichen obviously couldn't help with this issue. He could only look back at the tavern where he had just been. However, the path that had been deliberately left open for him to see the center was now crowded with people again, and he could no longer find Du Yun.

"Don't worry, Captain Zhao, we'll find out what happened before we come back to him." Ji Lang knew this wasn't the time to confront him directly, so he had Liu Jia and Lin Yun support the still-angry Wang Sanhai and lead everyone away from this absurd welcome party.

As Ji Lang and the others left, the welcome party at the base officially began. After Lu Yuan emerged from the crowd, he looked back at Lan Yichen, who had already been swallowed up by the crowd.

"Holy crap, I'm going to go blind!" As soon as the group entered Lu Yuan's room, Yang Xiao rushed to the bathroom, turned on the tap, and kept washing his eyes with water.

"That was so exciting! I've never seen anything like it in Japanese movies." Zhong Qiang swallowed hard, his mind still filled with the image of the countless full breasts that had just appeared in front of him.

"Brother Liu, what exactly happened? Tell us in detail." After trapping Wang Sanhai, who had returned cursing all the way, on the sofa at the far end of the room, Ji Lang finally asked.

"I can't go on, I'm leaving tomorrow!" Yang Xiao, who had just finished washing his eyes, didn't wait for them to finish their conversation before expressing his opinion.

“We’re definitely leaving,” Ji Lang reassured the agitated Yang Xiao, then added, “But we need to hear what happened to Brother Liu and the others first.”

“After you left the day before yesterday, Lao Wang and I were planning to fly to the former Beijing base you mentioned to see if we could find fuel, as you instructed. But it was just too cold here, and the helicopter couldn’t start after only a short while. So we decided to come find you.” Liu Jia took the warm water that Lu Yuan handed him, drank some, and began to tell them about their experiences over the past few days.

"But we didn't expect that we would be unable to find you after only being a dozen minutes late. We searched the entire building several times but still couldn't find you." As Liu Jia said this, Ji Lang raised his hand to interrupt him.

"We rested in the building for a day before starting our operation yesterday." Lin Yun had already guessed that Ji Lang was going to say this when he interrupted Liu Jia.

"That's impossible!" Wang Sanhai jumped up from the armchair. "We've been searching all night and haven't found a single person."

"I was a few minutes late coming down, and then I couldn't find Captain Wen and the others." Zhong Qiang also recalled that although Wen Zhou and the others had intentionally abandoned him, he wasn't actually that late, so he shouldn't have been unable to catch up with them.

“That’s really strange. What happened next?” Ji Lang looked at Liu Jia again.

"We searched all night, so we just found an office to rest in and planned to check again the next day. After all, if you went directly to the research institute building, you should have finished your mission and come back by the next day at the latest," Liu Jia paused and continued, "But we waited until the afternoon and still didn't see you. Then we heard the sound of a helicopter, so Lao Wang and I rushed up to the rooftop, but we didn't see the helicopter there. The wind and snow were quite heavy at that time, and it wasn't good for us to just stand there, so we went back into the building. Not long after, we heard the sound of a helicopter again. This time we saw the helicopter, but it disappeared again after a short while."

“I said right away that it must be Lu Yuan, but Lao Liu didn’t believe me,” Wang Sanhai said, sitting on the sofa.

"Oh, it really was me and Yang Xiao back then." Ji Lang and the others were reviewing the situation, while Lu Yuan, Yang Xiao, and Zhong Qiang sat in a circle on the bed, eating a bunch of food. After all, they had been up all day and couldn't stand not eating something.
