Chapter 145 Heaven Sends Him Another Treasure
With the help of four strength-type warriors, Grandpa and Grandma's belongings were quickly moved onto the military truck.
The purpose of bringing a convoy on this mission was actually to provide cover for the search for unknown metals.
Although the mineral veins have all been mined out, with Tang Tianhua's spatial abilities, the military trucks have become useless.
In order not to waste resources, Jiang Tao ordered the earth-type ability users he brought to uproot the lifeless old locust trees and load them onto the military trucks.
They left only an empty car for the grandparents to move.
Unbeknownst to Jiang Tao, on the return route he was supposed to take, people had been lying in ambush on two small hills flanking the road for a full hour.
"What's going on? They should have arrived an hour ago. It's been so long, why haven't we seen a trace of them?" the fourth-tier earth-type ability user in the lead said impatiently.
He was ready. As soon as the convoy appeared, he would raise the ground at the front and rear of the vehicles and bury the entire convoy with loose soil, leaving only the space system exposed.
As long as they can subdue the people and bring them back, they can easily seize the mine without bloodshed.
But under such a blazing sun, almost melting everyone, they still couldn't wait for their arrival.
"What if they changed their route at the last minute?" someone in the group asked.
"Impossible! Our inside man managed to get a message through the radio, pretending to be Jie Dashou, saying that Jiang Tao had someone dig up that mutated old locust tree and would be returning soon."
Since Jiang Tao didn't say he wanted to change routes, and he brought a hundred superhumans with him, he would definitely return the way he came.
To avoid revealing their identities, the informant even reluctantly threw away the radio communicator, which Jiang Tao certainly wouldn't be able to detect. "The other person replied.
However, they waited until it got dark, but the returning convoy never arrived.
By the time they realized the convoy they were waiting for wouldn't be passing by, and they tried to chase after it, it was too late.
For this mission, the third team received an SSS-level rating.
First, they eradicated the mutated locust trees that could pose a threat to the entire area in the future.
Secondly, they discovered a valuable mineral vein, and with the help of an internal traitor who leaked information and colluded with outsiders, they turned the tide and preserved the vein.
If it were a detachment of the same level, they would probably have already suffered heavy losses in front of the mutated locust tree blocking their way.
Later on, it became even more impossible to protect the mine under the cover of attacks from both sides.
In order to protect the feather fan, Jiang Tao only reported the truth to Commander Bai, and the normal reward was given to the Third Detachment.
However, the members of the Third Detachment unanimously decided to give all the prizes to Comrade Zuo.
Without her, at least half of their comrades would have perished on this mission.
Especially after returning to the city, they received information that the enemy forces had laid an ambush on the way, which gave them a sense of relief.
If Commander Jiang hadn't insisted on accompanying Comrade Zuo on a detour to Yong'an Village to pick up people, they wouldn't have taken the other route on their return, perfectly missing the enemy's ambush.
Although it was just a coincidence, it truly saved everyone.
**
In Anju Residential Area, in a large house with two bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and a kitchen, Grandpa Zuo Dahai looked at all the brand-new furniture and didn't know where to sit.
He had been to his son and daughter-in-law's house before, and it was not only half the size of this house, but the surrounding environment was also much worse.
Grandma He Cuitao was so excited that she kept wiping away tears: "Great, great, great! I never thought I would be able to live in such a nice house in my lifetime."
Even if I die after a month, I'll be at peace.
"Grandma, please don't say such discouraging things. My parents both work in this neighborhood now, and their jobs are quite easy."
"I'll talk to Commander Jiang in detail tomorrow, and I'm sure you'll have a good job soon," Yu Shan said.
"What about me? Could you give me a job watching the warehouse? If that's not possible, I can take out the trash."
"You don't know, Grandpa's really strong now, just a little bit weaker than those who have awakened strength-type superpowers," Zuo Dahai said a little embarrassed.
He didn't want to trouble his granddaughter, but he had to talk about work because he didn't want to be the only one in the family who was just freeloading.
He already knew that even his grandson, who had just turned ten, had gone to the superpower training camp, where food and lodging were provided.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I heard that the regimental headquarters has a plantation. I'll ask around and see if you can go and help out there," Yu Shan comforted him.
“A plantation is great! Your grandpa has spent his whole life tending to crops, so I can definitely take good care of the vegetables and fruits on the plantation.” Zuo Dahai’s cloudy eyes suddenly lit up.
As long as he can contribute his remaining energy and not be a freeloader, he can stay in the city.
After all, they now have a big house to live in, instead of three generations of grandparents and grandchildren crammed into a small house.
Jiang Tao was very busy, but when he thought about how Comrade Xiao Zuo hadn't even had a weapon when he went on a mission before, he gave Staff Officer Fang a good scolding.
Since her grandparents had just moved in, Jiang Tao decided to visit them in person to see them and resolve any of her worries.
Staff Officer Fang accompanied Jiang Tao. After exchanging pleasantries upon entering, Jiang Tao greeted him with a beaming smile:
"Since the two elders have just arrived, please don't hesitate to ask Staff Officer Fang to take care of anything he hasn't done well enough. Just let him handle it."
"Yes, yes, yes, the two elders treat me like their own child. They just tell me what to do." Staff Officer Fang was humble, afraid that if he made any more mistakes, his superiors would punish him.
“Speaking of which, there is something I would like to discuss with Commander Jiang. It’s about my grandmother’s special ability…” Yu Shan said frankly without any hesitation.
Among her immediate family members, her parents are ordinary people, and apart from her younger brother, only her grandmother is a person with superpowers.
She knew she would soon leave this world, and before she went, she wanted to plan for her family's future.
Commander Jiang initially thought it was just an ordinary superpower, but he was wrong...
When he saw He Cuitao conjure a brand-new fire axe out of thin air, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
This superpower... is even more incredible than Comrade Xiao Zuo's! God has sent him another super treasure!
Then, He Cuitao said somewhat embarrassedly, "I've been busy traveling these past two days and I was afraid of getting carsick, so I haven't dared to eat my fill."
If I eat well and sleep soundly, I can make two of these fire axes a day.
Jiang Tao: ...
Nowadays, the major military regions are arguing so fiercely over the allocation of medicines and weapons that they often end up talking themselves hoarse during encrypted teleconferences.
He had to make a fuss and beg and plead for every extra ration. Being the leader of the superpowered group was really tough!
Now that God has sent him such an extraordinary talent, as long as he quickly raises her ability level, wouldn't the scarce resources be able to be mass-produced?
