45: Return trip

Military Zone, Warrior Supply Base.

"Here, the key to Villa A9."

For Taiwanese novels, come to Chaofangbian.

"Old Gao, your mission this time looks quite tragic?"

The guard at the supply base looked at the Fire Hammer Squad's combat uniforms, which were covered in dried blood and torn gashes, and Zhang Ke's missing half-sleeve, and said in surprise.

Gao Feng had been a warrior for over ten years, rich in experience, and usually wouldn't end up in such a sorry state.

"Damn it, we were ambushed by those bastards from the Tiger Tooth Squad. They deliberately set a trap for us outside. Have they returned? I want to give them a piece of my mind!"

Gao Feng cursed bitterly.

"I haven't seen them. They should still be in the Wilderness Area."

The guard shook his head, making no comment. Conflicts between warrior squads outside, even mutual slaughter, were not common but also not rare. He was just a guard, and it was inconvenient for him to take sides in personal grudges.

"Consider them lucky! We'll kill them sooner or later!"

Zhang Ke also said fiercely, his face almost purple with rage.

Qiao Yu listened to the Fire Hammer Squad continuously cursing the Tiger Tooth Squad, whistling and looking around.

The Tiger Tooth Squad wasn't coming back, and he didn't bother to continue 'whipping the corpse' with words.

"Damn it, first they ambushed us with sniper rifles, then they lured the surrounding beast horde to besiege us. They wanted to wipe out our entire Fire Hammer Squad!"

Chen Gu said indignantly.

"Hiss!"

"Is the Tiger Tooth Squad that vicious?"

The surrounding warriors gasped in uproar, discussing animatedly.

The Fire Hammer Squad left amidst the chatter and arrived at Villa A9.

The anger in everyone's hearts had nowhere to be vented, so they could only temporarily suppress it.

"Captain, it's never too late for a gentleman's revenge. There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with them later."

Luo Feng comforted Gao Feng and the others.

"Haha, with your trump card, Luo Feng, a mere Tiger Tooth Squad is nothing to worry about. Let's do something serious first—divide the money!"

Gao Feng laughed heartily, then had everyone take out their combat backpacks and pour their spoils onto the ground.

"Although our operation time was greatly reduced this time, the spoils are still considerable: four Beast General Rank Monsterss..."

"There are many materials. Let's sell some of them at the supply base. Luo Feng, it's better not to sell the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf materials here, lest you be targeted, which might attract the strong teams who severely injured the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf."

"Everyone, eat and rest first, then we'll go sell them after we're done."

Gao Feng meticulously planned, and everyone nodded, not paying too much attention.

After dinner, the Fire Hammer Squad sold the monster materials to the HR Alliance's representative there.

Gao Feng's calculator clicked away rapidly, and he verbally allocated everyone's contributions as he calculated.

"In total, Chen Gu gets 12.12 million, Luo Feng 7.3 million, Qiao Yu 7 million, I get 5.2 million, Zhang Ke 10.2 million, Wei Tie 4.3 million, and Wei Qing 4 million."

"And the sky-high Silver Moon Fierce Wolf. Luo Feng was solely responsible for killing this monster, so his contribution is the greatest, receiving 80% of the share, with the remaining 20% split equally among the others. Does anyone have any objections?"

After finishing his calculations, Gao Feng spread his hands and looked at everyone.

"No objections."

"No disagreement."

Gao Feng nodded, then transferred their respective payments into their accounts.

That afternoon, the Fire Hammer Squad returned to the Base City by train. As soon as they got off the train, everyone took a long, deep breath.

"Cough cough, although I miss the Base City, the air in the Wilderness Area is still fresher."

Chen Gu coughed twice, complaining about the Base City's air.

"Brother Chen, then do you need me to buy you a ticket?"

Qiao Yu took out his phone, opened the ticketing app, and asked.

"No, no, I'm just kidding."

Chen Gu quickly reached out to stop Qiao Yu, making the others laugh heartily.

Everyone took out their phones to report their safety to their families.

"Hello, wife? I'll be home tonight. Oh, it's nothing, I didn't get hurt. Okay, okay, we'll talk when I get home. I'll buy some delicious food for the kids then."

Zhang Ke made the call with his right hand, which had regrown after being severed, not mentioning that he had lost an arm.

Warriors earning money outside was like walking on a knife's edge, risking death at any moment. Their families always worried during each mission, so since he was back, it was better to report good news than bad, to put them more at ease.

Luo Feng also dialed his family's number.

"Mom, I'm coming home today. Yes, I'll probably be very late. You, Dad, and my brother should eat first, no need to wait for me."

"A-Yu and I are both fine, no injuries. We'll eat out first."

After experiencing so much in over a week, hearing his mother's voice made Luo Feng's eyes slightly moist.

After hanging up, everyone walked together along the special warrior passage to the parking lot specifically for warriors.

The special vehicles of the Dojo of Limits, Thunderbolt Martial Arts School, and HR Alliance were waiting in three separate areas.

"Let's go to the HR Alliance Mall."

Gao Feng said to the driver.

"Alright, everyone, hold on tight."

The driver, beaming and polite, for fear of neglecting the warriors in the car, stepped on the gas, and the large SUV started. Qiao Yu didn't even feel the car body shake or vibrate.

Qiao Yu couldn't help but sigh at this sight, thinking how good it was to serve the people: special car pick-up and drop-off, and a high-end car at that.

Inside the car, Chen Gu looked at Luo Feng with a lewd smile, making Luo Feng feel uneasy.

"Luo Feng, I wonder if we'll see your little sweetheart this time. It's rare to return from the Wilderness Area, shouldn't you report your safety and have a good chat with your little sweetheart to deepen your relationship?"

Gao Feng saw Chen Gu's lecherous grin and scolded with a laugh.

"You old pervert, Luo Feng, that Xu Xin's family background is probably not simple. I remember the first time I saw her, she was already a manager at the HR Alliance. You need to be careful."

How could Qiao Yu not know Xu Xin's background? But he couldn't say it directly, so he just went along with what everyone else was saying.

"Luo Feng, Xu Xin seems quite low-key at school, but her temperament can't be hidden. She's very different from other girls. You should be able to feel it yourself."

Luo Feng nodded in agreement. If Xu Xin didn't have anything special about her, he wouldn't have been interested. Although she was low-key, she still had the demeanor of a young lady from a prominent family. In the current era, even ordinary rich young masters would find it hard to possess such cultivation.

"You mean Miss Xu Xin? She's a member of the Xu family, one of the twelve major families of the HR Alliance in China, and her status is probably not low either."

The driver brother said cheerfully. This was common knowledge in their driver's circle, and warriors familiar with the HR Alliance also knew, so it wasn't some unspeakable secret.

"Damn, that background is too big. Luo Feng, don't blame me for not helping you now. Although your Brother Chen has been a playboy for many years, and people call me 'Jiangnan's Most Affectionate Man,' people from the twelve major families aren't easy to win over."

Chen Gu widened his eyes and clicked his tongue in admiration.

"It's fine, Brother Chen. The bigger the family, the more they value interests. With Luo Feng's... I'm afraid no power would refuse."

Qiao Yu stopped mid-sentence, remembering there was a driver in the car, and then obfuscated Luo Feng's Psycher Master information.

"Hey, if you put it that way, then yes, Luo Feng, keep it up. We brothers suddenly have high hopes for you."

Zhang Ke patted Luo Feng's shoulder and laughed.

Luo Feng scratched his head, smiling shyly.

Qiao Yu looked at Luo Feng's youthful and naive appearance at this moment and couldn't help but click his tongue a few times. Just by looking at him now, who would connect him to the future City Lord Luo, who would strike fear into people's hearts?
