Once the battlefield had been cleared,
everyone headed toward City R Base. The journey was a little easier this time.
Except the path they had taken on the way in was buried under plants again.
They could only go by instinct.
Chen Xiaofei couldn't help saying, "City R is so weird. What's making these plants grow like crazy? Is it the soil? If it is, wouldn't bringing some back to grow vegetables be amazing?"
Bai Shu pushed up his glasses and said he had already collected some soil samples. There were several new scratches on his face, courtesy of Chen Xiaofei. The two had just had a brief scuffle.
If they hadn't been mindful of being outside with other people around, they would have been rolling around fighting.
Bai Shu had even bitten Chen Xiaofei on the shoulder. It still burned, but compared to the real battle earlier, these little injuries were nothing.
Ability users had evolved to be like animals, tough and thick-skinned, and they always liked strengthening their bonds through fighting.
Wang Weihu cleared the way up front. The battle had really drained their stamina. Although ability users recovered quickly, everyone was still pretty tired.
The Charge Squad felt thoroughly ashamed. Having barely escaped with their lives, they became as meek as quails afterward, behaving themselves to an unbelievable degree.
With the survivors along, they couldn't move very fast. Even pushing as hard as they could, it took several days to reach City R Base. The moment they stepped inside, their wristbands started chiming nonstop.
Even Qin Luo couldn't help exclaiming, "Oh, we're finally online? Did the other squads get communications back up?"
When the staff guarding City R Base saw new survivors arriving, they hurried to open the gates and welcome them.
They welcomed the heroes home
