Silently upgraded, indestructible for 100 million layers!

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Jiang Lan opened her eyes.

I silently checked my body.

The wound is almost painless now and won't affect my mobility at all.

Jiang Lan grinned, turned over and sat up in bed, preparing to get out of bed to wash up.

Stepping out of the room, Shen Qingqiu was dressed in casual clothes and busy in the kitchen.

Hearing the noise, she turned around and said:

"Won't you sleep a little longer?"

"Aren't we supposed to report to the team today?" Jiang Lan smiled and went to the bathroom to wash up.

By the time he finished washing up, Shen Qingqiu had already prepared breakfast.

Two bowls of plain porridge and a few side dishes—it wasn't luxurious, but it was definitely made with care.

"Eat up, then we'll set off."

Jiang Lan sat at the table, picked up a bowl, and took a sip of plain porridge.

It has a refreshing, sweet, and warming taste.

After having breakfast, Shen Qingqiu returned to her room.

Not long after, she came out of the room.

Jiang Lan stared at Shen Qingqiu, her eyes widening slightly.

At this moment, Shen Qingqiu had changed into a black combat uniform, carried a long sword on her back, and tied her hair in a high ponytail. Her demeanor was completely different from before.

Full of vigor and vitality.

Moreover, the tight-fitting combat suit accentuates...

cough……

Jiang Lan forced herself to look away and followed Shen Qingqiu out the door.

They headed straight to the underground parking garage and got into Shen Qingqiu's car together.

A black, rugged SUV, modified and looking incredibly heavy.

Shen Qingqiu stepped on the gas, and the SUV engine emitted a deep roar.

After driving out of the residential area, the SUV came to a stop in front of the city guard compound in no time.

The yard is large, and there are many camouflage-painted off-road vehicles parked inside.

The scavenging team's residence was a three-story building inside the compound.

Shen Qingqiu and Jiang Lan entered the hall one after the other.

At this moment, a dozen or so people had gathered in the hall.

Upon seeing Shen Qingqiu enter, everyone greeted him.

"team leader."

Good morning, Captain.

Shen Qingqiu nodded and led Jiang Lan inside.

Jiang Lan surveyed the people in the hall.

Their gazes met, and the expressions on the faces of the people in the hall as they looked at him varied.

However, most of the reactions were disdain.

Jiang Lan remained expressionless.

Even if these people look down on him, it's because they look down on the original owner; what does it have to do with him?

He's not that fragile.

Upon reaching the center of the hall, Shen Qingqiu stopped and surveyed the crowd.

"Is everyone here?"

"Everyone's here!"

A burly man responded.

Jiang Lan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a burly man with a square face who looked rather honest and simple.

He quickly identified the man.

Zhao Gang, early stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, deputy captain of the first squad.

"Let's begin then." Shen Qingqiu glanced at Jiang Lan and then said, "Jiang Lan, rejoin the team and be assigned to the first squad."

As Shen Qingqiu finished speaking, a murmur rippled through the hall.

"The first squad again?"

"Isn't the captain being way too biased?"

"Yeah, it's one thing to not have martial arts talent, but they always end up in the first squad."

Listening to the crowd's discussion, Shen Qingqiu glanced at them, her voice slightly cold.

"What, you have a problem with that?"

Everyone immediately shut their mouths.

Shen Qingqiu's strength is recognized as the best in the third scavenging team.

Moreover, she was the team leader, so no one dared to contradict her to her face.

"Good, that's good." Shen Qingqiu looked at Zhao Gang, "Keep an eye on things for me."

Zhao Gang nodded and said:

"Don't worry, Captain."

"Jiang Lan, return to the team."

"Yes!" Although this was Jiang Lan's first time facing this situation, he had the original owner's memories, so it wasn't entirely unfamiliar to him.

Jiang Lan walked to Zhao Gang's side.

Zhao Gang reached out and patted Jiang Lan on the shoulder, saying:

"Brother, you were badly hurt last time, be careful this time."

Jiang Lan nodded.

Thank you.

"Your teammates haven't changed; you should recognize them all," Zhao Gang said, pointing to the three people beside him.

Two men and one woman.

One man was tall and thin, the other was of medium build, and they both looked quite human.

The female warrior wasn't stunningly beautiful, but she exuded a heroic aura, and her combat uniform was crisp and efficient.

If we were to rate it out of ten, I'd barely make it a 6.5.

Two men, one named Li Ming and the other named Chen Feng.

The other female warrior was named Wang Fang.

Li Ming glanced at Jiang Lan, seemingly indifferent.

Chen Feng smiled and said:

"It's good that you're healed. Welcome back."

Wang Fang nodded, which was her way of saying hello.

Jiang Lan responded to each point.

Just then, a burst of laughter came from the other side of the hall.

"Who do we have here? It's the little burden who's back!"

Beside Li Hu, the tall, thin man who had mocked Jiang Lan yesterday spoke up loudly, a mocking smile on his face.

Before Jiang Lan could speak, Shen Qingqiu, standing in the middle of the hall, coldly looked at Li Hu and his group.

"Li Hu, keep a close eye on your men."

"Tsk..." Li Hu twitched the corner of his mouth. "What Xiao Chen said isn't wrong. Last time, I almost died out there and dragged the brothers down with me. This time, I have to be more careful."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqiu's expression darkened.

"Li Hu, are you looking for trouble?"

Li Hu took half a step back, and said with a forced smile:

"I was just saying it offhand, Captain, please don't mind."

As he spoke, he led his men to the side.

Before leaving, he turned back and glanced at Jiang Lan one last time.

Jiang Lan stood there, expressionless.

I'm definitely angry.

But in his view, Li Hu's behavior was purely clownish.

However, he did not intend to refute it.

In a world where strength reigns supreme, empty talk is useless.

Only by improving our strength can we then thoroughly humiliate our opponents.

At this moment, Zhao Gang leaned close to Jiang Lan and whispered:

"Ignore him. Li Hu's been a jerk for a long time."

Jiang Lan nodded.

"It's okay, I know."

"Alright, everyone quiet down." Shen Qingqiu walked to the center of the hall and clapped his hands. "Recently, there has been a lot of activity from ferocious beasts outside the base city. The higher-ups have ordered us to speed up the search."

"Leave the city at 7:00 AM tomorrow, our destination is the ruins in the eastern suburbs."

As soon as the words were spoken, someone asked:

"Captain, isn't there a Tier 2 ferocious beast in the eastern suburbs?"

Shen Qingqiu replied, "That ferocious beast was seriously injured a few days ago and has already left from the eastern suburbs. However, everyone should not be careless. There are still quite a few first-tier ferocious beasts in the ruins, so we must proceed with caution."

"Alright, everyone check your equipment. We'll meet at 6 a.m. tomorrow."

"yes!"

The crowd responded in unison.

Meeting adjourned.

Everyone dispersed, and Zhao Gang looked at Jiang Lan.

"Is all your gear damaged?"

Jiang Lan nodded.

Indeed, when he came back last time, almost all of his equipment was broken.

"It's alright, I'll go get you another set."

As he spoke, Zhao Gang led Jiang Lan to the armory and exchanged a few words with the administrator.

The administrator glanced at Jiang Lan, then turned and went to the armory, taking out a set of standard equipment.

A long sword, a set of armor, a backpack, and some basic supplies.

"Sign here," the administrator said, handing over a form.

Jiang Lan signed the papers and accepted the equipment.

The standard longsword was over a meter long, its blade gleaming coldly, and it was almost identical to the longsword he had seen yesterday that was worth eight hundred credits.
