Chapter 157 Xiao Zhao Returns to the Team
At this time, it is an independent residential area.
Instead of resting immediately, Han Shuo and the other two sat together in the living room and chatted.
After passing the message to Xiao Zhao, the fat man went to check on the situation and returned early after confirming that it was true.
The fat man checked the time and asked.
"Han Shuo, what time is it? Is Xiao Zhao not coming?"
"Probably not, what's the rush, let's wait a bit longer."
Han Shuo said with a smile that the three of them hadn't rested for a long time and were sitting here waiting for Xiao Zhao.
They all believed that Xiao Zhao would come looking for them after learning that Qin Hongling had gone out.
"Okay, okay."
After the fat man finished speaking, he stretched and leaned back on the sofa with his big belly sticking out.
"You two chat for a bit, I'll go get you some drinks."
Li Shurou said casually, then got up and walked towards the kitchen.
The three of them have been living a very good life since they moved here.
Independent houses are not only spacious, but also fully equipped with all kinds of furniture and appliances.
This led all three to agree that the 'money' was well spent.
A short while later, Li Shurou brought over three cups of coffee. Of course, the coffee was instant, so although the taste was not as good, it was still enough to satisfy her craving.
And so, half an hour passed.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the front door.
"Thump, thump, thump."
"Brother Han, you guys haven't rested yet, have you? It's me, Xiao Zhao, open the door quickly."
It's here!
Han Shuo was overjoyed and was about to get up to open the door when he found that the fat man had already run over first.
"Haha, Xiao Zhao, you've finally arrived."
The fat man responded excitedly and then opened the door.
Immediately afterwards, Han Shuo heard the fat man's exaggerated shouts.
"Wow, bro, what's with that outfit?"
What's going on?
Han Shuo had some doubts, but they were quickly resolved when the two people at the door entered the living room.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhao's military uniform was gone, replaced by loose-fitting clothes.
His shirt and pants were quite colorful, and he even wore a blue and black baseball cap on his head.
Behind him was a large backpack, which contained some of his personal belongings and all of the same type of new clothes.
At first glance, Han Shuo and the other two were not quite used to it.
Compared to before, Xiao Zhao is like a completely different person.
In Han Shuo's mind, Xiao Zhao had always been a well-behaved boy, but now he seemed to have a bit of a hip-hop vibe...
What caused this child to suddenly become like this?
Actually, Xiao Zhao had wanted to wear this for a long time, but for the past ten years or so, he had been with Captain Qingyu.
Because of military habits and regulations, he had to always wear his military uniform.
Xiao Zhao had worn the same clothes for about ten years, and he was already tired of them.
Now that he has officially left the guard team, he can finally wear whatever clothes he likes, as he pleases.
...
"Brother Han, Brother Pang, Sister Shurou, I'm here!" Xiao Zhao greeted the three of them with a grin.
"Xiao Zhao, where's your military uniform?" Li Shurou asked with a smile, covering her mouth.
"You took it off, huh? What? Don't you look handsome?" Xiao Zhao frowned, looked down at himself, and asked in confusion.
"Haha, handsome, handsome, handsome, very handsome!" the fat man praised, but he was actually laughing heartily on the spot.
Han Shuo couldn't help but laugh and gave Xiao Zhao a thumbs up.
The three people's reactions made Xiao Zhao a little unsure of himself, but he still straightened his back and said seriously.
"Brother Han, I've talked to Captain Qingyu and officially left the guard team. The captain agreed, and I'm now a free agent. I want to join your team."
It turns out that the reason Xiao Zhao arrived so late was because he had just gone to complete the procedures for changing his identity.
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shuo and the other two stopped joking and stood up to greet him, saying in unison.
"Xiao Zhao, welcome back to the team!"
Xiao Zhao was very moved and kept nodding.
From now on, he will be able to live with his true friends.
Xiao Zhao believes that following Han Shuo will definitely make her life more exciting.
"Alright, the four of us are quite familiar with each other now, so I won't say anything more sentimental."
"Just one thing: no matter how dangerous it is outside right now, I believe that as long as we work together, we will overcome all difficulties."
"I will do my best to protect each and every one of us."
After Han Shuo finished speaking with a smile, he stretched out his right hand.
The others understood and gathered around, raising their arms and placing their palms together on top of each other.
The four shouted in unison.
"Live on!"
In this way, Han Shuo's team expanded to four people.
Tanks, soldiers, snipers, and healers—it's pretty much a complete team.
...
The four then had a brief celebration.
Because Xiao Zhao no longer belongs to the guard team, all his previous equipment and weapons were taken back by the underground research institute.
Fortunately, Han Shuo and his two companions still had a lot of weapons in stock.
Xiao Zhao's greatest skill was marksmanship, and Han Shuo, as before, equipped him with a sniper rifle and a rifle.
These two guns are no worse than the two Xiao Zhao used before, and may even be better.
After all, Han Shuo left behind only the best weapons.
As for melee weapons, Xiao Zhao ultimately chose the military shovel, as he found it more convenient to use.
Han Shuo still uses a Tang sword and a rifle, while the fat man still uses a large shield, an axe, and a rifle.
Li Shurou switched to a more powerful submachine gun, saying:
This submachine gun is much more fun to use than a rifle.
Han Shuo was also helpless, and then he redefined Li Shurou in his heart.
This woman seems to have some violent tendencies.
But that's alright, our healers are just as good as everyone else in terms of damage output.
Even wilder...
After chatting and laughing for a while, the four of them went back to their respective rooms to sleep.
...
The next day, after waking up, Han Shuo took the three of them to the cafeteria where Chen Hai worked for breakfast.
After returning, Han Shuo spoke.
"Shurou, go and get four drops of the turbid liquid and give them to Dr. Lin. Please ask him to help purify it."
"Okay." Li Shurou replied, then packed her things and went straight to Dr. Lin's house across the street.
Fatty went out to gather information, while Han Shuo and Xiao Zhao stayed at home.
Around noon, Li Shurou excitedly ran back to inform Han Shuo that the turbid liquid had been purified.
Han Shuo was overjoyed and urged her to go for the gene modification.
After noon, there will be three genetically modified humans in the team.
This is extremely rare among all the guard teams.
Of course, this is only a first-level evolution, unlike Qingyu, who is a third-level evolved human.
If they didn't fight to the death with weapons, one person could probably take on all three of them by himself.
Level 2 is alright; it only enhances vision, smell, and hearing, but doesn't provide any substantial improvement in combat.
However, the enhanced reaction speed at level three is quite remarkable...
