Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 33 Fire Hammer Squad

"Chen Gu, how long have you been here?"

As Luo Xia and his two companions were talking, a deep voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, three tall figures enveloped Luo Xia and his two companions who were sitting in the booth.

Luo Xia looked up and saw a tall, muscular man, as strong as a bear, carrying two large black hammers on his back!

Beside the man were a pair of twin brothers who looked very similar, both carrying shields and scimitars.

"team leader!"

Chen Gu and Zhang Ke stood up and shouted.

Rorschach also stood up and called out, introducing himself, "Captain! Hello, I'm Rorschach!"

The leader of the Firehammer squad was the burly, bear-like man. He sized up Luo Xia and smiled:

"Wu Tong is talking about you! Sixteen years old, and you already possess the physical attributes of an advanced warrior! Impressive! Do you have an older brother? Where is he?"

"Big brother! The captain's here!"

Luo Xia quickly called out to Luo Feng, who was not far away.

Luo Feng said something to Xu Xin, then jogged over and said to the captain, "Captain, it's me, Luo Feng!"

"So you're Luo Feng? You look good! Very good. Once we enter the wilderness area, you two brothers should learn from Wei Tie and Wei Qing's experience. I believe you'll quickly integrate into our team!"

The captain said with a smile, and then introduced, "My name is Gao Feng, and these two are Wei Tie and Wei Qing."

Luo Xia and Luo Feng quickly called out, "Brother Tie, Brother Qing."

Wei Tie looked at Luo Xia and asked with a somewhat friendly expression, "I heard you're also a twin?"

Wei Qing: "You and Luo Feng?"

Luo Xia smiled and shook his head. "This is my older brother. My twin brother is still in school because he doesn't have the talent for martial arts."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qing smiled and said, "I almost forgot, you're at the age where you should be in high school!"

Because Luo Xia was also a twin, Wei Qing and Wei Tie treated him fairly well.

Chen Gu, standing to the side, chuckled, "You probably don't know, but Xia is this year's top scorer in the national college entrance examination!"

"Really?"

Even Captain Gao Feng was somewhat surprised by these words.

"Of course it's true!" Zhang Ke echoed, looking at Luo Xia with a smile, "If he were alive before the Great Nirvana, he'd be far more popular than any of us martial artists!"

"Haha, I didn't expect our Firehammer Squad to have such a talented genius who excels in both academics and martial arts!" Wei Tie said with a hearty laugh.

Gao Feng clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Hmm, not bad. Everyone, take a break, we'll set off soon!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The six people, including Luo Xia and Luo Feng, nodded.

Twenty minutes later, after everyone finished their tea and drinks, Gao Feng stood up first, waved, and said, "Let's go, let's set off for the wilderness!"

The group immediately put away their weapons and shields and headed towards the main gate.

"Luo Feng!"

At that moment, a voice rang out.

Luo Xia and the others turned to look and saw Xu Xin running over, her chest rising and falling slightly, her face flushed.

Luo Feng looked at Xu Xin and asked, "Xu Xin, what's wrong?"

Xu Xin looked at Luo Feng, her face slightly flushed, and said, "My university semester starts in a few days, but during my university years, I'll be working here as manager on Saturdays and Sundays during the day! You absolutely must come!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng smiled, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll definitely come!"

Having received the answer, Xu Xin gave a sweet yet shy smile and turned to leave.

Luo Xia laughed along and asked Luo Feng, "Big brother, that's impressive! Did you just confess your feelings?"

Luo Feng touched his nose sheepishly, "Not yet."

"I haven't even confessed my feelings yet, and this beautiful girl is already throwing herself at me. That's the advantage of being young!"

The team leader, Gao Feng, said with a smile.

Luo Feng could only smile at this.

Let's go!

"Get on the bus!"

The Firehammer Squad, consisting of seven members, boarded a HR Alliance vehicle and headed directly to the train station.

They will transfer to a train there, leave the base city, and head to the wilderness area overrun by monsters!

……

Hundreds of miles north of the Jiangnan base city, there is a military region garrison.

Rumble...

The train slowly came to a stop at the military district station.

One by one, fully armed martial artists disembarked from the train, numbering more than twenty.

These twenty-odd people naturally split into four teams.

"Luo Feng, Luo Xia, when we martial artists go out to hunt monsters, we always stop at the military base for supplies."

Because there were new members in the team, after getting off the bus, Chen Gu, as the vice-captain, began to introduce some daily experiences of martial arts practitioners to the Luo brothers, Luo Xia and Luo Feng.

Chen Gu pointed to a towering iron tower, fifty or sixty meters high, and asked Luo Xia and Luo Feng:

"Do you know why there's such a tall tower in the military region?"

Luo Feng guessed, "Is it used to observe the surrounding environment?"

Chen Gu smiled and said, "What you said is only one of its functions. In fact, the most important purpose of the tower is to guide every martial artist in the wilderness."

"When you see a gleaming tower in the wilderness, you'll know that there's a military district there that can provide you with shelter and supplies."

"Therefore, this lighthouse also symbolizes illuminating the way home for us martial artists."

Luo Xia and Luo Feng nodded.

They followed the others and continued walking forward.

The martial arts supply base is located inside the military region, consisting of quiet little buildings in a very pleasant environment.

"Firehammer Squad, you will stay and rest at E6."

An officer at the supply base handed Gao Feng a key, then patted him on the shoulder and asked with a smile:

"Old Gao, how long are you planning to hunt this time? If you find anything good, feel free to sell it to our HR Alliance. I'll definitely give you a high price."

These soldiers, though wearing military uniforms, were service personnel from various organizations, including the Extreme Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School... The one speaking to Gao Feng was from the HR Alliance.

They will provide martial artists with some basic services, and at the same time, they will purchase some precious monster materials from martial artists.

Gao Feng laughed at the officer and said, "Okay, we'll talk about that later. Now, let's prepare lunch for us!"

After saying goodbye to the officer, the Firehammer Squad headed towards the small building at E6, and soon they arrived at the location.

Gao Feng used the key to open the door.

Chen Gu said to Luo Xia and Luo Feng, "If you want to rest, rest now. We won't officially head to the wilderness area until tonight."

Luo Feng was puzzled and asked, "Brother Chen, why don't we set off during the day? Isn't the wilderness more dangerous at night than during the day?"

Zhang Ke, who was already lying on the sofa, said with a smile:

"It's the end of August now, the hottest time of the year. Carrying hundreds of kilograms of stuff on your back in this heat would be deadly."

Chen Gu continued, "So... although the wilderness area is more dangerous at night, martial artists choose to set off at dusk."

Luo Feng nodded awkwardly.

It turned out to be the case.
