After lunch and a short rest, Yan Bin arranged for them to return.
Two buses led the way, followed by a large truck in the middle, and the vehicles belonging to the third brigade brought up the rear.
On the return trip, the trucks were all fully loaded with goods, leaving only enough space for people to stand in the middle of the aisle.
However, these people were all standing, staring at the zombies outside the window. Just like when they came, their job was to eliminate the hordes of zombies that came chasing after them after hearing the commotion.
These soldiers carried out their assigned tasks meticulously. They didn't utter a single extra word, not even a glance, their faces remaining stern the entire time.
Cheng Shaolin and his men looked at the well-trained soldiers with great admiration.
It takes countless hours of concerted cooperation to achieve such a level of understanding; it's truly trustworthy.
Thanks to everyone's concerted efforts, although it wasn't as easy as the journey there, we still returned to the base safely.
It was already 5 p.m. when we arrived at the base, and it looked like night.
The dark gray clouds hung low, like a mountain looming overhead, creating a sense of pressure. Rain poured down, the dense raindrops crashing against the ground like a tidal wave.
The damp ground hadn't dried for half a month; the uneven surface had accumulated water, forming puddles. Stepping on it, water splashed up with each step, spreading and scattering in all directions.
The team members, having completed their mission, did not linger and went straight to their lodgings.
Yu Yanbin led his team back to their apartment building and strode upstairs.
In just one day, they felt an overwhelming urge to return home.
Li Xiao seemed to sense something, came out of the room, and stood by the door.
Zheng Yongnian stayed with Li Xiao since the team leader and the others left in the morning, and did not go back to their own rooms.
Seeing Li Xiao leave the room, he looked up and asked, "Xiao Xiao, what's wrong? Is something the matter? Are you going out?"
Li Xiao turned around and replied, "No, I think it's them who came back."
Zheng Yongnian: ? "Really?"
"Um."
Not long after they finished speaking, the two people who remained in the room heard the sound of several people going upstairs.
Zheng Yongnian: !! He really is back.
Zheng Yongnian suddenly flung open the door, only to find it empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.
But then came the sound of hurried footsteps coming up the stairs.
Within a minute, people could be seen coming up the stairs; the first one was Cheng Shaolin.
He took long strides, climbing two steps at a time, and reached the door in just a few steps. Following him were Yu Yanbin, Shao Jie, Tian Tian, Qiu Fengyu, Meng Yang, and Xiao Peng.
Zheng Yongnian happily stepped aside to let them in.
Seeing the wide-open door and the person standing at the door, Cheng Shaolin's heart instantly calmed down.
"Brother, you're back." Li Xiao looked at Cheng Shaolin happily, her eyes crinkling with joy.
Cheng Shaolin's thin lips curled up. "You're back," he said as he walked into the house.
The others followed suit, filing in one after another, all returning to their homes after a day's absence.
Cheng Shaolin pulled Li Xiao to sit down, took off his raincoat and boots, and put down his backpack. "How was your day? Nothing came of it?"
"No, we didn't go out."
"Yes, it's right not to go out." Cheng Shaolin didn't want Li Xiao to go out either. They were on a mission and there was no one to help them. It wouldn't be good if something happened to them.
After everyone who had gone out took off their raincoats and sat in chairs, Li Xiaocai asked about the day's mission.
"How was your day? Coming back so early means the mission must have gone very smoothly."
Cheng Shaolin put his arm around Li Xiao, letting her lean against him, and replied, "Yes, the base's superpower squad is doing a great job leading the operation, and it's going very smoothly."
"Really? What do you think of the base's superpower squad?"
"They're great. They must have been through a lot of missions, and their cooperation is excellent. They're all soldiers, they obey orders, and they execute them very efficiently. Very good."
Li Xiao was very interested and said excitedly, "Really, the evaluation is very high."
"Um."
Although Cheng Shaolin had many questions, he hesitated when facing Li Xiao and did not ask them.
But just because he doesn't ask doesn't mean others won't.
After a brief silence, Shao Jie broke it. "Xiaoxiao, um, we saw someone with spatial abilities today."
Shao Jie paused for a moment, his eyes fixed on Li Xiao, trying to get the answers he wanted from her.
Li Xiao was taken aback at first, then her eyes widened. "Really?"
Li Xiao never expected to actually encounter someone with spatial abilities here. She had thought that someone might have spatial abilities, but she didn't know where she would see them.
With the emergence of spatial abilities, her space can now appear in front of people.
"Yes, there are several."
"Oh, there are several? How many?" Li Xiao was quite surprised to see several space ability users at once.
"Xiaoxiao, there are four. Two are from the base, and two came from other teams. I don't know if there are any hidden ones inside." Tian Tian was still very excited, speaking enthusiastically, even waving her hands involuntarily.
!
Li Xiao was surprised to see four spatial ability users all at once, and she was a little disappointed that she didn't go with them.
Seeing the regret on Li Xiao's face, Cheng Shaolin chuckled.
"it is a pity?"
Faced with Cheng Shaolin's teasing, Li Xiao pouted and said, "Yeah, a little."
Cheng Shaolin's smile widened. He patted Li Xiao's head and said cheerfully, "What's there to regret? It's chaotic outside, and there's water everywhere. What's the point of going out?"
“Yes, the captain of the 1st Battalion at the base is a capable leader with clear thinking, and the mission is going very smoothly. You wouldn’t be able to help much anyway, so you might as well stay home.” Yu Yanbin agreed with Cheng Shaolin’s idea and added his own explanation.
