Chapter 67 Return to Star Base

On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing. As usual, the members of the Star Base were conducting physical training on the spacious training ground. They were running, jumping, climbing, and learning how to control their newly awakened superpowers. Everyone was completely absorbed in the training.

While running, Liu Feifei suddenly thought of Xiyue, Qinghan, Xiaoyu, and Sister Luoqing. She couldn't help but ask Tong Zhuo, "Captain, when do you think Xiyue, Qinghan, Xiaoyu, and Sister Luoqing will be back? It's been three months since they left the Star Base! I miss them a little bit."

Tong Zhuo replied while running: "To be honest, I miss them too. But I don't know when they will be back. Maybe they should be back soon."

At this time, Lu Ling also interrupted and said, "Captain, you see, our Star Base is getting stronger and stronger now. The weakest of the base members has awakened a level one superpower. If we encounter some level one zombies outside, we will be able to fight them."

Qin Baobao nodded quickly after hearing this and said, "Yes, I really have to thank Sister Xiyue and the others. They gave these abandoned women in the apocalypse a small bunker base, giving us a place to stay. Moreover, they gave the six of us a home, a hope that we can become stronger together and strive to survive."

Su Heng smiled and nodded slightly, agreeing with Wen Jun's statement. "That's true. Currently, our Star Base has no need to worry about supplies. We have an ample supply of all kinds of daily necessities. We can even say that these supplies are enough to sustain us for more than ten years."

Wen Jun felt a sense of relief at Su Heng's words, and her steps paused. She breathed softly, as if agitated by what she had just said. Then, a hint of confidence and pride lingered in her voice, "Indeed, our Bunker Star Base has grown immensely! Whether facing zombies or those scumbags, we can handle them with ease. Humph! Let's see who dares to bully us now!"

Since Lin Xiyue and the other three left the Star Base, the situation had indeed changed. Zombie hordes would occasionally attack the base. Fortunately, however, most of these zombies were only level three, posing little threat to the already growing power of the base. Furthermore, with Tong Zhuo leading the team, they bravely and fearlessly engaged in fierce battles against the zombies, successfully eliminating even the level one and level two zombies one by one.

Before leaving, Lin Xiyue left a large amount of Lingxi water at the base. As instructed, everyone at the base drank a bottle of it daily. While the exact magical properties of this water were unknown, it seemed that since they began drinking it, the team members at the base had gradually awakened various supernatural powers. This undoubtedly added further strength and security to the base.

Tong Zhuo also followed Lin Xiyue's instructions and took the team members to practice killing zombies every day, taking crystal cores, and then throwing the crystal cores into a fixed Lingxi water to purify the impurities in the crystal cores that are harmful to the human body, and distributed them to the team members who were practicing that day, allowing them to absorb and improve their superpowers.

Today, daily life at the Star Base is very fulfilling. In addition to regular physical training, the team members also have the opportunity to go out for training, which makes them full of anticipation and motivation.

Everyone knew the importance of crystal cores for improving their abilities, and so they yearned every day to go out and train, hunt zombies, and acquire more crystal cores. However, as the leader of the base, Tong Zhuo couldn't bring all the team members out. After all, they also needed to guard against sneak attacks from other bases and protect their home.

To balance these two needs, Tong Zhuo developed a reasonable plan: daily training would be carried out in rotation. This would ensure that the team members had ample opportunities to train and obtain crystal cores, while also ensuring that someone would always remain at the base to guard against potential threats.

Tong Zhuo himself was a Level 5 psychic, the highest rank in the Star Base, and was extremely powerful. The other five members were also Level 4 and Level 3 psychics, possessing considerable strength. However, most of the other members of the base only had Level 2 and Level 1 psychics, making them relatively weaker.

Tong Zhuo stood still, slowly turned around, and her eyes fell on the growing star base. Her thoughts gradually drifted away, recalling the scene before Lin Xiyue and the others left.

At that time, the Star Base was still very small, with only 50 or 60 people. However, now the base has grown to more than 300 people, all thanks to Tong Zhuo and his team who bravely went out of the base, fought fiercely with the zombies outside, and brought back many survivors.

All of these survivors were women. They had endured hardships in the world outside the base. Some had been abandoned by other bases, while others had been separated from their companions while fleeing. When Tong Zhuo and her companions encountered these women along the way, they were filled with compassion.

Although most of these women did not have awakened superpowers, Tong Zhuo and the other six did not give up on them. Instead, they decided to bring these women back to the Star Base and give them a safe haven.

At the Star Base, as long as these women didn't cause trouble, practiced diligently every day, and followed instructions, their safety and food were guaranteed. However, Tong Zhuo and the other six would show no mercy to those who caused trouble or sowed discord within the base. If they found anyone violating the base's rules, they would ruthlessly expel them from the base and leave them to fend for themselves.

Just then, there was a noise outside the base.

When Tong Zhuo and others heard the noise, their nerves immediately tensed up. They reacted quickly and directed the snipers to climb to the highest point of the bunker in order to better observe and aim at the target.

At the same time, the six figures rushed towards the base gate as fast as lightning.

When they approached the gate, they saw four familiar figures standing at the door - Lin Xiyue, Gu Qinghan, Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing.

Lin Xiyue smiled, a hint of warmth in her eyes, and she whispered, "Are you all okay? We're back!"

Tong Zhuo's eyes instantly became moist, tears welling up in them. She quickly stepped forward and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Sisters, you're finally back!"

Liu Feifei's tone was also filled with excitement. She shouted, "That's great! We all missed you so much!"

Su Heng saw the four of them return safely, and a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, but she couldn't help but shed tears. In order not to let others see, she turned away quietly and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Wenjun, Lu Ling and Qin Baobao seemed even more enthusiastic. They walked forward without hesitation and hugged Gu Qinghan, Du Luoqing and Ji Yuan tightly, as if they wanted to put all the longing they had for the past three months into this hug.

Lin Xiyue smiled, opened his arms, gave Tong Zhuo a big hug, and said gently: "Thank you for your hard work in the past three months."
