Chapter 18: Mission (Part 2)

On the other side, a wholesale market area.

Xiao Zui and his group of four were responsible for clearing out the zombies and extracting crystal cores. Bai Mu, however, simply walked in. With a flick of his right hand, all the goods disappeared instantly. He walked out again and waved his hand once more, storing the crystal cores in his spatial pocket.

Zhao Ye watched in amazement. "Brother Bai, your ability is impressive. Any other abilities?"

Hearing this, Bai Mu stopped a little distance away and smiled at the four of them.

And then, right before their eyes, he vanished.

"Holy crap!"

Zhao Ye, Han Xiu Jie, and Tang Hong exchanged jaw-dropped expressions.

Even Xiao Zui’s poker face showed a crack. "Old Bai, can your spatial ability hide people too?"

Bai Mu slowly reappeared, the smile on his face frozen.

Recalling Xiao Hua’s guess, Bai Mu remarked, "Do all of you with the Xiao family think alike? This is my second ability, concealment."

"Second ability?!" Four shocked faces.

Zhao Ye, feeling a bit aggrieved, said, "Brother Bai, when we were on the helicopter and I asked about your ability, why did you only mention the spatial power?"

Seeing Zhao Ye’s innocent question, Han Xiu Jie felt an overwhelming sense of disappointment.

"Obviously, he was reserving it. There were others on the helicopter!"

Right!

Zhao Ye recalled, realizing that Xiao Hua and Su Mo were also on the helicopter. Brother Bai must have kept something back.

Zhao Ye: I get it, I get it.

Bai Mu: "..."

Afraid that Zhao Ye had misunderstood, Bai Mu added, "Besides you and Xiao Hua, no one else knows about my second ability. I hope we can keep this a secret for now. It’s a trump card we have in this post-apocalyptic world."

So, the "other person" was Su Mo, not Xiao Hua.

Zhao Ye immediately agreed with a grin, "Don’t worry, Brother Bai. If I ever tell anyone, you can rip my head off."

Bai Mu: "..."

Han Xiu Jie: "..."

The key point is the first sentence!

Zhao Ye didn’t catch the first sentence but noticed something else. "Brother Bai, can your ability be used in fights?"

It doesn’t look like it.

On this point, Bai Mu was also quite helpless. "No."

"Oh~" Zhao Ye understood and grinned, "No wonder Xiao Hua told you to be careful! Don’t worry, Brother Bai, Xiao Hua can protect you."

Hearing this, Xiao Zui immediately interrupted. "Xiao Hua is a girl, so as her senior, Brother Bai should protect her."

Tang Hong: “……”

Han Xiu Jie: "Not necessary, really not necessary."

Captain, you must have forgotten how valiantly the girl fought the zombies.

As soon as Captain spoke, Zhao Ye immediately backed down, quickly trying to patch things up: "I was just comforting Brother Bai! Just being polite, just being polite."

Bai Mu: “……”

Well, Zhao Ye, you’re in trouble now.

Han Xiu Jie quickly covered Zhao Ye's mouth.

This kid, not only did he offend Xiao Zui, who dotes on his sister, but now he’s going after the old fox Bai Mu again.

Is he trying to hasten his own downfall?

……

As it grew darker, Xiao Zui and the other five returned to the C University gymnasium.

Captain Li's slightly relaxed expression turned serious again when he saw them return empty-handed.

"Did you not get the supplies? Or was there a problem?"

They exchanged glances, and finally, all eyes turned to Bai Mu.

Bai Mu raised his right hand and waved it lightly, and a large pile of supplies materialized out of thin air.

Captain Li: !!! (shocked)

The people around: !!! (astonished)

Bai Mu remained expressionless, explaining calmly, "My ability is a storage space, which functions like a warehouse.

This time, we mainly selected fresh meat, which has a short shelf life, so we can consume it first. I also brought some medical supplies and a lot of drinking water."

Saying that, Bai Mu sighed, "Unfortunately, my storage space is limited, so I couldn’t bring everything back. Next time, we’ll go for food with a longer shelf life. What do you think?"

Captain Li: “……”

With everything so well thought out, what more could he say?

Just arriving, Xiao Hua and Su Mo: “……”

Brother Bai, that was showing off.

Xiao Hua looked at the supplies on the ground and noticed none were from the morning batch, meaning Bai Mu didn’t plan to hand them over.

Seeing such a large pile, Xiao Hua feared Bai Mu would confiscate their private property.

Good, good, this is exactly how it should be.

Seeing Xiao Hua and Su Mo approach, Captain Li quickly greeted them.

"Miss Xiao, Miss Su, hello."

They responded politely, "Captain Li, hello."

Captain Li looked at these few people and felt a sense of reflection.

Why didn't his team and the survivors have such capable individuals?

Brother Xiao Zui and Sister Xiao Hua had abilities for combat, Su Mo had healing abilities, and now Bai Mu had storage abilities. Additionally, Xiao Hua could generate water, mitigating the water shortage.

Without these few people, the rescue mission would have been far more complicated.

These people must be honored and well cared for.
