Chen Chao looked seriously at the hesitant man and asked, "Are you Niu Ben from the third squad of superhumans?"

"Yes, yes, base commander."

Niu Ben stood there nervously, deeply regretting his decision.

Chen Chao frowned. "Didn't you say it was something important? What is it?"

He gripped the syringe tightly with his hand tucked into his sleeve. He didn't care anymore; he'd already come this far. If he had to die, so be it!

He swiftly pulled out the syringe and slammed it on the table.

Upon seeing the familiar syringe, their dark eyes narrowed slightly; this was the medicine they had been searching for for a long time without success.

What is this?

Niu Ben told the whole story in detail. He only knew that this was Wu Sen's most treasured possession, but he didn't know exactly what it was for.

"So, you only know that this thing is important, right? Is there only one of these?"

Niu Ben shook his head. "There's another one with Captain Xu Hu. I secretly hid this one myself; he doesn't know about it."

"Okay, leave the things here for now. I'll have someone check them. I'll call you if anything comes up!"

"Yes, yes, base commander!"

Niu Ben left the hall with a heavy heart and walked home step by step.

"Hey? Brother Niu! Did you just rush off to the points redemption center?"

Niu Ben's expression changed slightly. "Hmm, what's wrong?"

"Oh, I don't know who saw it, but they told the boss, and he told me to send you over!"

The man called out "Niu Ben" twice, but there was no response from the other side.

Niu Ben strode home.

"Hey? Brother Niu! Where are you going? Aren't you going to find the boss?"

"I'll go later, I need to go home first!"

We need to find a way to divert his attention!

After getting what he wanted, he hurriedly ran towards the villa.

Xu Hu sat on the sofa with a cold face, while the woman beside him stood trembling, lacking her usual domineering and arrogant demeanor.

"Boss! Did you call for me?"

Xu Hu looked up, his voice slightly cold, "Where did you go?"

"I went to the points redemption center."

"Oh? Where did you go?"

Niu Ben put the bag in his hand on the ground. "I'm sorry, boss, I know I was wrong. I recently... fell in love with a girl, and I wanted to use my things to exchange for some supplies."

"I'm sorry, boss! I know I was wrong!"

Xu Hu glanced at the bag on the ground and gave a mocking smile. "Is that so? Then I really have delayed your important business! Take these things back! As my confidant, you already know some things!"

Niu Ben said with a forced smile, "I know, boss! You'll always be my boss. I don't need these things, you can keep them for yourself!"

"Alright then! Drive carefully!"

The man waiting outside saw Niu Ben come out and quickly approached him.

"Brother Niu! How are you? Did the boss give you a hard time? What happened? I have a feeling the boss has been wary of you all along!"

Niu Ben pulled the man along quickly, saying, "Don't say things like that, or the walls might be overhearing!"

The man quickly covered his mouth; he had been anxious, saying, "Brother Niu, we'll go crazy if we keep going like this! Boss is too selfish."

Seeing that Niu Ben didn't speak, the man continued, "Hey? By the way! Brother Niu, I just got a piece of meat, but I haven't eaten it yet. How about we come to my place and have a meal together?"

Niu Ben stopped. "Let's go!"

......

After waiting for half an hour, Chen Chao took the medicine and rushed to the villa area.

"Uncle Chen! What brings you here?"

Gu Chen, who was planting trees at the entrance, wiped the sweat from his brow and waved his arms happily.

"Come inside quickly, Uncle Chen."

The row of people lying on the sofa all sat up when they saw Chen Chao.

"Brother Chen! What brings you here?"

Chen Chao solemnly placed the medicine from his pocket on the table.

"This...this is medicine!"

Lin's mother excitedly examined the medicine, exclaiming, "This is it! Brother Chen, where did you get it from?"

Chen Chao explained, "This was brought to me by Niu Ben from the third squad of superhumans. He said that he and Xu Hu thought they had secretly entered Yang Yu's room and stolen it."

He secretly hid his own from Xu Hu, not knowing what use it was, and then sent it to me!

I suspect he might be trying to get some kind of benefit from it!

Having served as a base commander for a long time, one can clearly see what each person wants and what they are looking for.

Lin's father casually destroyed the vial of medicine. "So there's still one left with Xu Hu? Does he know what this medicine is for?"

"He probably doesn't know! If he did, he wouldn't be hiding at home right now!"

Thinking of Xu Hu, Lin Anran had a very bad impression of him.

If you want to get it from him, you absolutely must not alert him.

Lin Yu had a sudden inspiration: "Doesn't Niu Ben want something? Why don't we just ask him to get it for us?"

Li Lei's zombie brain almost grew a brain: "Yeah! I feel Xiao Yu's method is reliable. As long as that thing doesn't leak out, it'll be fine!"

Chen Chao nodded, "Okay! Leave this to me! I'll talk to him."

The well-fed cow was stopped on the road.

"Hello! Niu Ben, the base commander is looking for you!"

Niu Ben blinked. They'd already heard news so quickly!

"Okay! Thank you for your help, let's go!"

Upon entering the office, Chen Chao sat at his desk, busy with his work.

"Here it is! Niu Ben, I've found out about the medicine you delivered today. It's a dangerous substance. You said the other one is in Xu Hu's hands, right?"

"Yes, base commander!"

"Do you have a way to get it? He can't find out!"

Niu Ben suddenly looked up, "This... Base Commander, he's my captain, I can't do this!"

"If I remove him from his position, I think you are more qualified to be the captain!"

Meeting Chen Chao's ambiguous smile, Niu Ben's heart skipped a beat. "Base Commander, I don't quite understand what you mean."

“Niu Ben, you’re a smart man. Xu Hu is no longer capable of being the captain of the third team of superhumans, so the only one who can take over his position is you. You should understand what I mean.”

Niu Ben closed his eyes and finally nodded, "Base Commander, I understand. I will not let you down!"

He didn't care what the potion was; he only knew the benefits it brought him.

"Okay! Then I'll wait for your good news!"

On his way home, Niu Ben thought about the layout of the villa. He figured his eldest brother probably didn't know the effects of the potion and just left it in the warehouse, but the key to the warehouse was in his bedroom.

It's hard to get things, but what do these things matter if I can really become the captain?

After waiting for three days, Niu Ben finally saw his opportunity.

"I heard that an armory was discovered two kilometers outside the base. I wonder if it's true?"

"Who knows! But a lot of people went! Maybe it's true! If we get it! Just think about the bomb the base commander brought over the other day!"
