Sang Luoluo frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
They were equally perplexed. "So what do we do now? Leave the base?"
Qi Feng asked, "How about joining Base 03?"
Sang Luoluo shook her head. "No, I want to go to Base No. 32. At least I have relatives there. This base is too unfamiliar. It looks quite advanced, but I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt."
Sang Yunpu said, "Yes, I'm going with my sister."
Sang Luoluo sensed that Qi Feng was somewhat tempted, and said, "If you want to leave, I can return your supplies to you, and you can choose where you want to go."
Qi Feng's gaze sharpened, and he said in a low voice, "That's not what I meant. I've said before that I'd follow you. I just feel like we might not be able to leave. Look over there, Base 03 has already sent out aircraft."
"What? We can't leave?"
Qi Feng said, "We are all Evolver, and those large bases need Evolver the most. Even if we want to leave, they may not let us."
Sang Luoluo: "Then what should we do? Leave right now?"
Qi Feng said, "That's the only way."
Sang Luoluo: "Then what are we waiting for? I'll pack my things now and leave here quickly."
Sang Luoluo gave everyone two steamed buns to replenish their energy, and immediately put the rest of the food into her storage space, ready to leave right away.
After leaving the shelter, head towards the base entrance.
The ground was covered in rubble, and people could only move on foot while constantly dealing with aftershocks.
Even at their current pace, it would take them two or three hours to leave the base.
The aircraft dispatched from Base 03 were flying densely in all directions of the base, deliberately slowing down, and their broadcasts were being broadcast to every corner of the base.
[We are Base 03. Welcome to Base 03, all Evolver. Base 03 has now taken over Base 71. Those who wish to join, please line up at the shelter. The base will provide survival supplies.]
Sang Luoluo looked up at the flying vehicle in the sky. Just as Jian Cheng had said, it was there to pick up scraps.
The group walked on with their heads down, showing no intention of stopping.
Base 03 was a very prestigious name. As soon as the announcement was made, many people wanted to join Base 03. At this time, a large number of people poured out of the shelter, men, women, and children. Some were so happy that they cried.
They couldn't wait to join Base 03. Several aircraft parked at the entrance of the shelter and began registering personnel. The scavenging for survivors at Base 03 had already begun.
Other aircraft circled the base's large warehouses a few times before suddenly stopping and sending out personnel to begin scavenging resources.
At this moment, on the top floor of Base 03, Base Commander Chang Mingyao stood in front of the transparent window, holding binoculars. He could clearly see every corner of Base 71. There weren't many survivors, but the supplies were still there. The intelligence sent back by his informants who had planted there was enough to prove that Base 71 had quite a lot of good stuff.
Putting aside the fact that most of the survivors in the shelter are Evolver, there are also the unwanted Crystal Core, the medicines in the warehouse, and the food just bought from the Farm App, all of which are great temptations.
If their Base 03 hadn't drifted through the air until it reached the vicinity of Base 71, they probably wouldn't have made it in time for this scavenging opportunity.
The meteor shower is coming soon, so we can take this opportunity to stockpile a batch of Crystal Core.
When luck comes, there's no stopping it.
The assistant came over to report on the work.
"Base Commander, registration has begun at the shelter; most are Evolver. A rough estimate suggests that no more than two thousand people survived in the entire base."
Chang Mingyao nodded and asked, "I remember the intelligence said there's a space-type Evolver in Base 71?"
"Yes, she's a girl, and she also possesses mental abilities, allowing her to manipulate Crystal Core out of thin air. She's highly valued by the lab's higher-ups."
Chang Mingyao asked, "Mental ability? Spatial ability? I've never seen either of these before?"
The assistant hesitated for a moment before continuing, "The intelligence suggests that this girl seems to possess something akin to self-healing abilities; it's recorded in her file. The lab at Base 71 has conducted related research, but unfortunately, they haven't come up with any results."
Chang Mingyao was puzzled and surprised. "Three abilities? That's amazing! Find this person quickly, I want to meet him in person."
"Yes. We've already sent people to search the shelters, and we believe we'll have results soon."
Chang Mingyao continued, "How's the search for the warehouse at Base 71 going?"
The assistant said, "We've found four locations, all of which were shaken several meters underground by the earthquake. Retrieving the contents from inside will be quite difficult."
"Two more warehouses have disappeared; they must have fallen into earthquake fissures."
Upon hearing this, Chang Mingyao instructed, "Send more people to search carefully. Base 71 has a considerable population, and the warehouse only contains food and medicine. It would be a pity if we couldn't find it. Send more people; there will be a reward for those who find it."
"Yes."
After walking for more than two hours, we finally arrived at the base entrance.
However, there were two aircraft at the entrance, strictly controlling the entrance to prevent people inside from leaving at will. When they saw people coming out, the laser emitters of the aircraft in mid-air were directly aimed at them.
Sang Luoluo couldn't help but utter a fragrant curse, referring to a type of plant.
The others were speechless as well.
"Halt! No one is allowed to leave."
Lei Qi asked, "What do we do now?"
Sang Luoluo said, "Let's go back first."
Sang Luoluo and the others started to walk back, but one of the aircraft landed, and a high-ranking official wearing armor stepped out. "Halt."
Sang Luoluo and the others had no choice but to stop and stare at the man expressionlessly.
Sang Luoluo stepped forward and asked, "Why can't we leave the base now?"
The person approached, standing four meters away from Sang Luoluo, well within Sang Luoluo mental attack range. Defeating this person would be instantaneous. However, the airships in the air were outside her attack range. With so many people at Base 03, if they really made a move, it would be a real problem.
The man said calmly, "No one is allowed to leave during the base's screening period. There's no need for so many questions. Go back to the shelter and register. Join our Base 03. What's wrong with that?"
Qi Feng stopped Sang Luoluo, telling her not to act rashly and to go back first.
Sang Luoluo nodded and led the people back.
Once they were far enough away from the entrance and sure the others couldn't hear them, Qi Feng whispered, "Joining Base 03 we're destined to be laborers, at their mercy. We don't even know what kind of work they'll assign us."
Sang Luoluo said dejectedly, "That's exactly what I meant. Base 03 is good, but it's not ours. Base No. 32 has powerful backers and nobody cares about us."
He looked at everyone and said, "You guys need to think of something quickly. We can't really go to Base 03, can we?"
Qi Feng was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."
Sang Luoluo up. "Speak quickly."
Qi Feng said, "You should contact Base Chief Sang Tong right now and tell him about your current situation. Ask him to contact Base 03. You're related to him, so his influence should be enough."
Sang Luoluo immediately gave him a thumbs up.
Sang Luoluo immediately stopped and used the Farm App to send a private message to Sang Tong.
[Brother! Help!!]
Sang Tong only paused for a few seconds before replying.
To facilitate communication, the other party even made a voice call.
Fortunately, the Farm App still has this feature.
Sang Tong sounded anxious, "What's wrong? What happened to you?"
Sang Luoluo explained her situation, "My teammates and I are completely stuck here. Brother, could you talk to the base commander of Base 03 and ask him to let us out?"
Sang Tong paused for a moment, then said honestly, "I can only try. Base 03 is far more powerful than our Base No. 32, and my influence might not be very effective. I can only do my best. Be careful over there, don't confront them head-on. If things don't go well, you can stay at Base 03 for now, and I'll have Xiaojia come to pick you up as soon as possible."
Sang Luoluo said, "Okay."
Qi Feng said, "Now we can only rely on the commander of Base No. 32."
Sang Luoluo nodded, her mind racing as she considered a solution.
I thought of an eighth panel.
That Base 03 Commander Chang Mingyao, you won't let me out, huh? Fine, I won't sell you any food.
Sang Luoluo's consciousness sank into the panel, deleted the VIP status of Chang Mingyao, the Base 03, from the eighth level panel, and directly replied with four large characters in the private chat interface.
[Cooperation terminated.]
At the same time, we also deleted that VIP customer from Base 71. Now that the base is gone, what cooperation could we possibly have with that person?
Also, send a private message.
[Cooperation terminated.]
Now only Base No. 32 remains on the interface.
Grandpa CC's farm now only partners with Base No. 32.
On the top floor of Base 03, Chang Mingyao watched as his wristwatch beeped. It was a special notification he had set, so he would check it immediately whenever there was a message notification, no matter the time.
The moment I opened it, my heart sank to the bottom.
Upon seeing the four large characters "[Termination of Cooperation]", he was filled with questions. How could the cooperation have been terminated?
He quickly sent a private message to the Farm Owner, asking why they suddenly stopped cooperating. Hadn't they agreed on everything before?
A series of questions and complaints were sent, but there was no reply.
