The tiredness and danger he had during his journey dispersed as he felt his yearning satisfied.
Tang Mingqi happily spread his hands, “Susu!”
Tang Susu immediately ran over and threw herself into his arms, which seemed to have become stronger in the past few days. All her worries disappeared.
“Mingqi, you’ve grown a beard.” It was rare for Tang Susu to speak in such a coquettish tone.
Tang Mingqi enjoyed it very much. “Oh, Do I look ugly?”
He minded it a little. He would have taken some time to fix his appearance if he had known earlier.
“You’re even more charming!” Tang Susu smiled as she got out of his arms. She couldn’t help but laugh when she saw how happy he was and then hugged her father.
Though they had been apart for only a short time, the yearning was unmistakable.
Mr. Tang wanted to hug Tang Mingchu, but he stepped aside with a look of disdain. “I told you they’re full of luck. They aren’t injured at all!”
“I know you care about me. You don’t have to make it so awkward, you brat!”
The cheerful scene of a family reunion was very touching. Some people couldn’t help but quietly weep when they thought of their perished and missing family.
The members of the Wind Squad stood at the side. “Great. Forget about convincing them to join our squad. We should think about how to join their extensive family instead.”
“Were you bribed with just a few vegetables? Where’s your dignity?”
“That has nothing to do with the vegetables. It’s mainly because of a certain someone…” Xie Fei chuckled and stared at Tang Susu. “How can there be such a dissonant and harmonious girl? She’s like a white swan among a group of black ducks. She’s so dazzling, elegant, and beautiful!”
His poetic tone disgusted them. “Ugh!”
People came out of the examination room one after another, and they all walked toward Tang Susu.
Cheng Cheng was the first one to appear. She had a smile on her face, despite losing some weight. “I think I’ve leveled up to level two, but I’m not sure. 1 feel like the crystal core in my head has become bigger.”
“You can feel the existence of the crystal core?” Tang Susu’s smile was warm. She expected nothing less of a future elite. “Congratulations!”
After greeting the others, Cheng Cheng immediately went to look for her daughter.
After that, Bai Yanhui walked over, his smile still as flirtatious as ever. “It seems like a lot of interesting things happened during my absence.”
Although Tang Susu didn’t know what had happened on their way here, she still had a lot of confidence in him, so she was also willing to speak with him a bit more. “Do you still have any crystal cores?”
Bai Yanhui instantly clutched his pocket tightly and became wary. “What do you want?”
“I would like to enter into a business transaction with you.”
After a moment of silence, he ran away. He could hear his heart thumping!
The last ones to come out were actually Mr. Duan and Lu Yunxiang.
However, Lu Yunxiang’s face was with no makeup, so Mrs. Tang couldn’t recognize her for a moment. She poked Tang Susu and said, “She looks a little familiar.”
Tang Susu was speechless.
The two of them walked over and expressed their gratitude.
“Thanks to you, we survived. I even developed my wind-type superpower.”
Tang Susu felt a little guilty as they looked at her sincerely. “You’re just being lucky.”
“No, it’s your medicine that’s good. It’s amazing. Do you still have any? I can buy it from you!” Lu Yunxiang was afraid that the estrangement between the two of them would affect their business. So, she directly took out a handful of crystal cores and stuffed them into her hands. “For the deposit.”
There were several T3 crystal cores.
Tang Susu was tempted, and she didn’t refuse them. She looked at the ordinary people outside and asked, “Did something happen to Qingzhou Shelter? ”
“Don’t even get me started. A swarm of insects attacked us and many people turned into zombies. Fortunately, Tang Mingqi made a decisive decision and led us into carving out a bloody path!” AAr. Duan’s tone was full of gratitude.
Tang Susu knew it was those mutated midges. They encountered the mutate midges, after all.
“Your father told us we can come to the shelter here. We were a little worried, but we didn’t find anywhere else to stay, so we came here with all these people and used your name.”
“It’s fine. As someone with two superpowers, you can bring these people in. If it isn’t enough, I can exchange for a place to stay for them using crystal cores and supplies.” Tang Susu explained in a good mood.
Mr. Duan looked around and sighed. “No wonder Shi Shaochen is so arrogant. This place is just too wonderful!”
“It’s not Shi Shaochen’s work, though.” Tang Susu called Mr. Wei over and wanted to introduce them to each other.
But what happened was…
“Uncle Wei?”
“Yunxiang? Where’s your father?” Wei Chunhua couldn’t help but look behind her. In a moment of excitement, he forgot how deadly the apocalypse could be.
Lu Yunxiang didn’t mind. She only stiffened as she tried to smile. “My dad… He protected me and…”
The atmosphere instantly froze. Wei Chunhua also remembered his daughter and wife and patted her on the shoulder. “It’s alright. Everything will get better from now on!”
Both families were in the business circle. Not only did they know each other, they also had some dealings with each other, so it was not so strange for them to know each other.
After knowing Shi Shaochen had been chased away and that his men had either died or banished, Mr. Duan was completely relieved.
“You continue to impress me, Ms. Tang. Zhou Jun kidnapped the girl and thought that he could threaten you, but Shi Shaouchen ended up losing everything instead. If he knew about this, he would probably dig Zhou Jun out from the ground and whip his corpse!”
Lu Yunxiang also felt relieved and happy, but her eyes couldn’t help but look around. She didn’t see that man’s figure, so she couldn’t tell whether she was being disappointed or glad.
A few more Metahumans and brawlers came out one after another. They were all from Qingzhou Shelter.
They were originally a little hesitant about following Lu Yunxiang, but now they all followed her because she had become a dual-type Metahuman.
Tang Susu understood the situation and discussed with Wei Chunhua on how to settle these people.
Cheng Cheng naturally moved into her family’s home. Including AAr. Tang and Tang Mingqi, everyone could still have a room for themselves. However, Cheng Cheng and her daughter stayed in the second wing while their family lived in the third and fourth wings. Although they were in the same building, their privacy was still very secure.
Because Bai Yanhui had not reached the point where they trusted him, he tactfully asked for a two-winged courtyard house close to the Tang family.
Lu Yunxiang had quite a lot of people. Including the Metahumans and thugs, there were ten of them. She spent some crystal cores to get another four-winged courtyard house. It was behind the Tang family’s home and was almost in the center as well.
As for the ordinary people they brought with them, they were assigned to the areas near the borders, but no one dared to question them.
Especially since they didn’t hand over any supplies, they were afraid of causing dissatisfaction among those who had handed over a lot of supplies. Therefore, they chose to remain discreet.
When Tang Mingqi and Mr. Tang went back to rest, Mrs. Tang happily said that she would prepare a welcoming banquet for them.
Meanwhile, Tang Susu found Wei Chunhua. “For the sake of long-term development, 1 wonder if you can return some supplies to those ordinary people?”
Speaking of this, Wei Chunhua frowned again. Zuo Xun was also present, so he led the two of them to the place where the supplies were stored.
Zuo Xun was a little excited because he had looked recently. The resources collected by Chongzhou Shelter almost filled the basement in its entirety.
There was everything down there. Walking around inside was like shopping in a supermarket.
However, when the warehouse door was open, it was empty.
Zuo Xun’s expression froze. “What’s going on? Where are all those supplies?!”
“I’ve asked the other managers, and they all said they didn’t see the car that moved the supplies out. I’ve searched the entire shelter, but there’s nothing. They’ve all disappeared!” Wei Chunhua seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He gritted his teeth secretly.
“Shi Shaochen has always been in charge of those supplies. I wonder when he had the foresight to take them all away.”
“Now that we don’t have any resources, we’re going to be in trouble soon…”
