"Captain Han, why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Ruoruo asked Han Xiao and the others.
"No... nothing... I just didn't expect that you, Ruoruo, have gold-type abilities..." Han Xiao retracted his gaze, then looked at Chen Ruoruo and said.
"Well, I know a little..." Chen Ruoruo said.
"..." Everyone present couldn't help but gasp when they heard Chen Ruoruo's words. Did she only know a little? Wasn't she being too modest? Qi Jiang and the others looked at Chen Ruoruo in surprise.
"Ruoruo, do you also have gold-related abilities?" Xia Xiaoying couldn't help but ask curiously.
"..." Chen Ruoruo looked at Xia Xiaoying's curious and surprised expression, pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back. Everyone hurry up and pack up, we'll be ready to set off soon..." Zhou Zhiguo looked at Chen Ruoruo's appearance, and then at the figures of several wolf kings rushing back not far away, and spoke out.
"Hmm..." Qi Jiang saw Zhou Zhiguo's gaze, and then prepared to leave with Xia Xiaoying and others.
"..." Xia Xiaoying looked at Chen Ruoruo with deep eyes. They all knew that something must have happened behind the Rat Tide convoy that they didn't know about.
"Then... Ruoruo, be careful..." Li Xue knew that Captain Zhou interrupted Xia Xiaoying and some things were not suitable to be said now, so she said to Chen Ruoruo reluctantly.
"Yeah, okay..." Chen Ruoruo nodded, touched the wolf kings that were running closer, pointed with her finger, and the few of them jumped into the carriage in a very human way.
Considering that everyone's supernatural powers were severely depleted and there was still a long way to go, Zhou Zhiguo distributed sweet potatoes to everyone like he did in the last mission, allowing everyone to eat while continuing to move forward.
Fortunately, he also gave everyone some sweet potatoes before setting out, otherwise everyone might not have been able to hold on against the rat tide this time.
The road was much calmer this time. However, at the beginning of the fifth day, when passing through several forks in the road, the dozen or so vehicles in the convoy, which were only loaded with two-thirds of the supplies, began to quietly separate from the main force.
Even during the rest period, no one seemed to notice anything unusual with the vehicles. By the eighth day, only about twenty vehicles remained in the entire convoy.
Chen Ruoruo's consciousness had been paying attention to the movements of the convoy. She had noticed early on that the vehicles had left the convoy, but she did not take any action. She just silently followed these vehicles with her consciousness.
Until they drove to another intersection and saw the team members from other bases who had been waiting there, they quickly took over to provide support.
After confirming that they were official personnel, Chen Ruoruo regained her consciousness. She guessed that this might be Zhou Zhiguo's arrangement, so she didn't care. Although she had a lot of supplies in her space, they were all the fruits of her hard work in the space.
Chen Ruoruo didn't want the supplies she gave out to be secretly transferred away by people with ulterior motives in this way, and she didn't want to help them. If Zhou Zhiguo and the others had ulterior motives for these supplies and didn't use them for the right purpose, then she would definitely not mind turning against them and leaving on the spot.
During the return journey, Chen Ruoruo basically stayed in the carriage except for taking Erlangzi and a few others out to relieve herself and feed them. Mainly because when she just went out, she saw the team members who were resting around looking at her with strange eyes. She was not very annoyed by this, so she just hid in the carriage, out of sight and out of mind.
Finally, five days later, the convoy finally returned to the base. It was afternoon now, and everyone was excited and thrilled looking at the returning convoy. However, they were a little puzzled as to why so many people were standing on the roof of the carriages.
Compared to the excitement of the people inside the base, the expressions of the team members returning from the journey were not very good. After the convoy entered the base, Zhou Zhiguo had the mutant black bear, which was tied up and covered tightly in the carriage, placed in the base square. Then, he led the convoy into the garage.
"This is..." People saw several huge things left in the square and gathered around them, forming a circle and looking at them curiously.
"This is the mutant animal we hunted this time..." Tao Wei stayed in the square with his men, and at the same time ordered people to cordon off the area to prevent people from getting too close to the package.
"What could it be?..."
"Why is it so big?"
"Yeah, that's what..."
"Brother Tao, tell us about it..."
"What on earth is this? What kind of mutant animal did this kill..."
"It can't be a mutant tiger... or a mutant lion..."
"It doesn't look like it, but one of them is worth two or three mutant tigers and lions..."
"It's so big, it's hard to guess..."
After hearing the discussion of the crowd, several team members standing beside Tao Wei smiled with contempt. They really looked down on others.
Tao Wei watched the people rushing toward the center of the square, listening to their endless discussions and speculations, but remained unmoved. Only after he saw the last truck disappear at the warehouse entrance did Tao Wei signal the team members nearby to open the tightly bound packages.
Under the gaze of the people, the package slowly opened, as if a mysterious treasure was about to be revealed. Everyone stared closely at the contents, their hearts filled with anticipation and curiosity.
When the contents inside were fully displayed before everyone's eyes, they all took several steps back at the same time. The originally noisy square suddenly became silent, and even people's breathing was almost inaudible.
People looked at the scene in front of them in horror. They saw a huge black plush animal lying there quietly. Its copper bell-like eyes had turned gray and lifeless, and it was still staring at everyone present.
Its mouth was full of sharp teeth, and its paws, as big as a palm-leaf fan, were spread awkwardly on the ground. Its black fur was stained with a lot of blood, which had now scabbed and dried. There was a huge wound on its chest, and it was obvious that its chest had been cut open and all the organs inside had been hollowed out.
"What is this..." someone asked in a trembling voice.
"It looks like a bear..." someone guessed in a low voice.
