Lei Qi ignored him. Today was the best meal he had ever had in his life. He noticed that He Fei's curious gaze was gradually dimming. There was nothing he could do; this was indeed a complicated matter.
Qi Feng placed Sang Luoluo on her bed, covered her with a blanket, closed the door, and then returned to the living room to sit down and wait for her to wake up.
Zhan Qun returned shortly after, having gone out to take care of some errands. He seemed quite rushed. Noticing the strange expressions on the faces of the others, and the faint smell of alcohol in the air that whetted their appetites, they asked, "What's going on?"
What does it taste like?
Yan Lang said, "They went out for a nice meal."
The Zhan Qun ignored him. " Base No. 32 has many restaurants, but they're a bit pricey. Right now, they only care about Crystal Core. They're even more expensive than the farm store. If you're not short of Crystal Core, you can go eat there, but if you're really poor, I wouldn't recommend it."
"By the way, I just spoke with the base, and we have a new mission."
Chapter 154 A private transaction Evolver can yield such a profit...
Everyone crowded around, "What mission?"
The Zhan Qun leader briefly explained, "As you all probably know, our Base 71 has encountered a beast tide. Beast tides are common in winter, but this time, the tide has breached the base's protective shield and has already invaded the city."
"My information is that many residents have met with misfortune. Some were injured by mutated animals and contracted the plague—not the kind everyone knew before, but a mutated, stronger version. The previous medications are no longer effective. So the base sought help from Base No. 32. The details of the exchange are beyond my comprehension. Our mission this time is to bring back another batch of medication."
"I've already handed over the details, and the handover will take place tonight. We'll be heading back first thing tomorrow morning."
"So fast?" Qi Feng was surprised; the agreed time was not supposed to be this fast.
The Zhan Qun nodded. "There's no way around it, the situation has changed."
"I understand, I'll go pack up now. I'll tell Sang Luoluo when she wakes up," Qi Feng said in a low voice. A sense of worry rose in his heart. The beast tide at the base was probably not so simple. For so many years, the beast tide had not been able to break through the base's barrier, but it broke through this year. Since the meteor shower, there have been more and more variables.
He had a premonition that something even more terrible might happen next.
Sang Luoluo woke up at four in the afternoon. She was unusually happy today, so she relaxed and stretched.
As soon as they stepped outside, Qi Feng pulled her aside and told her what Zhan Qun had just told him.
Sang Luoluo said, "It's good to go home early. I'm a little worried about being away from home for too long. We've got the growth potion we needed this time, no problem."
Seeing that Sang Luoluo was awake, Zhan Qun explained the details of the mission, "We need such a large area. Your space should be able to hold it all. Besides the weapons and potions, you should still have plenty of room left."
Sang Luoluo nodded, "There are still some places that can hold about 25 truckloads of goods."
Zhan Qun gasped. "That's enough. We'll probably need it on the way back."
"Um, there's another personal matter I'd like to ask for your help with."
Sang Luoluo looked up. This was the first time the Captain Zhan had asked her for help with a personal matter. She gestured for him to speak.
Zhan Qun said, " Base No. 32 has more supplies than our base. Before I leave, I want to buy some personal items that I can't carry myself. Could you help me bring some? Don't worry, I won't let you bring them for free. I'll give you Crystal Core. How about 100 Crystal Core?"
100 Crystal Core weren't many for Sang Luoluo, but since it was a favor between friends, she nodded, "Okay, just don't make them too big."
"It won't be too big. Thanks." Zhan Qun went out and purchased several potions, Crystal Core, and a few other items at Base No. 32. These were hard to buy at Base 71, and the quality wasn't as good as at Base No. 32.
The base commander should know that they were leaving, but Sang Luoluo felt she should still inform him, so she contacted him using her wristwatch.
Base Commander Sang Tong had just finished his official duties and was about to take a break when Sang Luoluo's message came in.
The moment the video call connected, both of them were smiling.
Sang Luoluo spoke first, "Cousin, I'm leaving tomorrow. I just wanted to let you know that it was a pleasure to meet you at Base No. 32. Base No. 32 'll definitely come back to visit you often in the future."
Base Commander Sang Tong was pleased to see Sang Luoluo's easygoing nature and smiled, saying, "We're all family. Like I said, if you need any help, feel free to contact me."
Sang Luoluo thought for a moment and realized she did have some, so she didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Yes, I do. I wonder if you could help me out?"
Base Commander Sang Tong: "Go on."
"I need some life-saving potions for myself, limb regrowth potions, and life potions for rapid healing. Also, if you have any powerful Crystal Core suitable for solo use, I can exchange for some. I have Crystal Core here, and some food I exchanged from Grandpa CC's Farm shop that I can trade with. Is that alright?"
This was an attempt to make a deal; it was just a small favor for him. "Sure, no need for Crystal Core or food. Today is our family reunion, consider this a gift from me to you and your brother. As your cousin, I should at least show my appreciation."
Of course, if these supplies could be used to win her over, then it would be worth it.
Sang Luoluo shook her head and said, "Even close brothers need to keep clear accounts. It's precisely because you're my cousin that I can't let you suffer a loss. You can refuse, but I can't refuse to give it to you, otherwise it would be my fault. If my brother finds out, he won't let me take it for free. If you refuse to accept it, then I'll have to find another way to buy it elsewhere."
Sang Tong sighed, somewhat helplessly, "Alright, I'll have someone come find you. You can choose for yourself then, at market price."
"Thank you, cousin," Sang Luoluo said happily.
It's true that having connections makes things easier.
Shortly after Sang Luoluo hung up the phone, Li Yao arrived downstairs with his men to pick them up and take them to the base warehouse to retrieve the goods.
Zhan Qun, Qi Feng, and the other two arrived at the warehouse from last time by car. Li Yao had already sent people to prepare the medicines to be exchanged between the two bases.
Sang Luoluo looked at the mountain of medicines, box after box, surrounded by ice to prevent them from spoiling. The quantity wasn't large; most were medicines for treating plague. There were also some life-saving medicines. Sang Luoluo noticed the labels: enhanced version, special research version, and latest version.
It amounted to several truckloads. The Zhan Qun had already counted the quantity in advance, but they would have to count it again when they arrived at the base.
Sang Luoluo forward and stored all the potions into the spatial Stasis Zone, along with the surrounding ice blocks, leaving everything clean.
This wasn't the first time Li Yao had seen Sang Luoluo collect items, and he was still still amazed. Moreover, he had just received a mission today.
Li Yao smiled and stepped forward. " Sang Luoluo, didn't you want to exchange for some potions and weapons? Please come with me."
Zhan Qun looked completely bewildered. "What's going on?"
Sang Luoluo said, "I asked a friend to help me buy some medicine. Qi Feng is coming with me. Captain Zhan, you wait here for me for a while."
"Alright, go ahead." Zhan Qun was still giving Sang Luoluo face.
After exchanging a glance with Qi Feng, the two followed Li Yao to the warehouse further inside.
Upon arrival, there were many guards on duty, and mechanical combination locks. Only those with a certain status in the base, and with permission from above, were authorized to pass through.
After passing through a series of gates, we finally arrived at a small warehouse.
Li Yao said, "Here are some potions and Crystal Core. Take a look and see what you need; the prices are marked next to them. The base commander gave the instructions. Feel free to choose whatever you like."
Sang Luoluo nodded and started looking around the warehouse. There was a lot of stuff here. She still had many of the weapons she had bought on the black market at Base 71. Since she had been using official weapons, she didn't need any.
Upon seeing the Crystal Core, Sang Luoluo thought of Lei Qi and He Fei, and asked for two Crystal Core pistols and two Crystal Core sniper rifles. The models were similar to those she bought at Base 71, except that the ones here were more accurate.
She chose 20 life potions, which can quickly heal wounds and are many times more effective than the " Wound Heal Fast " potion she used at the beginning. She also had 2 limb regeneration potions, which are more expensive than Crystal Core. She couldn't buy too many, otherwise it would attract too much attention. Qi Feng had reminded her of this before he came.
Even in front of the commander of Base No. 32, one should be more careful.
Sang Luoluo also selected 10 doses of antipyretics, 10 doses of antiviral medication, and 10 doses of the latest plague antibody medication, and that was it.
"That's all. How many Crystal Core do you think that is? Or you can trade it for food."
Li Yao glanced at her and said, "Half Crystal Core, half food."
"540,000 Crystal Core; you just need to provide food of corresponding value."
"How... how much?" Sang Luoluo was somewhat shocked.
Knowing she thought the price was too high, Li Yao explained, "These items are all under official control and cannot be bought or sold privately. Of course, the price will be several times higher if sold privately."
Sang Luoluo sighed. Fortunately, she really did have that many Crystal Core, and a bunch of them had accumulated on her panel.
"Let's test the Crystal Core first."
Li Yao led them to the payment area, where there was a Crystal Core energy detector.
Sang Luoluo took out 100 Crystal Core of various sizes.
In total, the measured value is 12,000 Crystal Core.
Sang Luoluo estimated the quantity, then waved her hand and took out a pile of Crystal Core, letting him slowly test them.
