Looking at the clean bowls and plates on the table, the head chef was completely bewildered: "What's wrong with Company Commander He?"

He rushed to Zhao Hongyi's office and, without waiting for notification, pushed open the door and went in.

The office was packed with people; it was almost overflowing.

He Guiqi was stunned for a moment, and regardless of what the others were saying, he opened his mouth and shouted:

"Commander, Sister Zuo and the others are back."

Zhao Hongyi's face darkened: "Don't you know how to knock? Is the orderly dead?"

The orderly felt wronged, thinking to himself, "You have such a good temper, when have they ever knocked on the door?"

He Guiqi didn't argue, but stepped out and said loudly, "Reporting to the leader, I have something to report."

Zhao Hongyi: "..."

He Guiqi poked his head in with a grin, "Can I come in now?"

He rubbed his temples and said, "Get in here."

There's really nothing I can do about these shameless soldiers.

"Commander, Sister Zuo and her family are back. They have a dog and a rabbit. It must be them."

The Zuo family mysteriously disappeared, for which He Guiqi received a minor but not insignificant punishment.

Yu Lianhai ordered him to pick up the person. Regardless of how the person died, if he failed to complete the task and lost the person, it would be his responsibility.

He Guiqi was filled with remorse. If he had known that Sister Zuo was determined to leave, he would have insisted on following her every step of the way.

He wasn't doing it for the base, but for his own stomach. Without Sister Zuo's subsidies, he felt utterly hungry.

Zhao Hongyi remained silent, and He Guiqi then realized that the atmosphere in the room was strange.

A quick glance revealed about ten people standing in the room, mostly junior soldiers, with the highest-ranking officer being a non-commissioned officer.

A thought flashed through my mind: "Could it be that you were the ones who discovered Sister Zuo's family?"

Zhao Hongyi snorted. He had just been asking about the events surrounding the discovery of Zuo Ling's family.

There are dogs and rabbits, two men and one woman, the only thing that doesn't match is the extra wolf.

The soldiers said it wasn't a boy, it was a young man.

Several years have passed, and Xiao Hao has grown a bit taller; he's practically a young man now.

The features were so obvious that without even asking about their appearance, Zhao Hongyi concluded that it must be Zuo Ling's family.

He harbored some resentment towards Zuo Ling's family for their disappearance.

You took the submarine and ran away. Who do you think you are? If it weren't for special permission from above, would you have been able to just take the submarine whenever you wanted?

He didn't care that Zuo Ling had exchanged points for the submarine; anyway, Zuo Ling was in the wrong.

Afterwards, I learned some things about people with superpowers from Chief Mei.

He vaguely realized that Zuo Ling and her brother might be superhumans.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. Others can't grow vegetables, but Zuo Ling can. He knows perfectly well how Zuo Ling got to the base back then.

If the nutrient solution had a formula, it would probably have been used to trade for a submarine long ago; there would be no need for so many points.

Speaking of points, it also proves that Zuo Ling and her brother are superhumans. How could an ordinary person possibly accumulate an astronomical number of points in such a short time?

They also guessed that this was why Zuo Ling's family had fled.

He didn't understand this at all. "They're just superhumans, this is a good thing, why run away?"

Knowing you're gifted individuals, we're already treating you with the utmost care, so the military certainly can't afford to mistreat you.

But it seems that Chief Mei's departure from Zuo Ling's family was not surprising at all.

Zhao Hongyi really couldn't understand what was going on.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's find them quickly!" He Guiqi said anxiously.

The climate is better now than during the periods of extreme cold and heat, so it's possible to grow some vegetables, but only those with short growth cycles and low temperature requirements. And they're not growing very well. Grains are even worse off.

The base's biggest shortage was food. If Sister Zuo were here, the food problem would be solved. He Guiqi's idea was quite optimistic.

The young soldiers were sweating profusely. Little did they know that those people were so important that they had even alerted their superiors.

Especially the one at the front, he was sweating so much it looked like he'd been soaked in water.

He, he, he seems to have gotten into trouble; he chased away the person the leaders were looking for.
