Sigh, if only I had known it would be this easy...
He then dragged Sang Luoluo into doing it together.
Sang Luoluo was having a great time recharging her giant Crystal Core. Even after the sun came out, she didn't want to go back and dragged the two of them to continue working. On the way, she didn't forget to take out a few cans of food and two bottles of mineral water to replenish their energy.
Sang Ping was also pleased to be able to deal with these giant Meteorite Crystal Core sooner, and said with a smile, "There are three more places. If we hold on a little longer, we'll be done."
Sang Luoluo nodded. "I'm fine on my end."
Half an hour later, the three began their return journey.
After spending most of the morning, they finally managed to fill all the discovered giant Crystal Core into the wristwatch of Base Chief Sang Tong.
Sang Luoluo glanced at the balance; it was a full 4.7 billion Crystal Core.
That's a huge sum of money.
That's enough for the base's procurement for several years.
The three of them took the watch back together and handed it to the base commander Sang Tong, before going back to rest.
After Sang Luoluo returned, she left some canned food for Qi Feng others, then went into her tent and entered her personal space to rest.
Having not slept all night, Sang Luoluo drank a cup of milky-white Spirit Spring Water, Mental Power warm and refreshed, she went to sleep.
Qi Feng didn't sleep all night, but he fell asleep in the air-conditioned tent next to him.
He Fei was left outside; it was his turn to be on duty today. Qi Feng gave him a few brief instructions and then went to rest, as he still had to work that night.
Three days later, Sang Luoluo finally handed over all the fresh vegetables and fruits that the base chief had asked her to store, leaving only the task of transporting waste.
However, the area around the base was not peaceful, and under the blazing sun, Base 03 drifted over.
Chapter 281 Interview. Take a look at these pictures.
The base immediately went on high alert.
There was nothing I could do; it was too sudden.
Why did Base 03 suddenly appear at this time? After the great disaster, was the intention to destroy their base?
Sang Luoluo finished her work for the night and was just about to rest when she noticed the base's alarm. They were in the air, and from the plane's view, they could see the outer perimeter of the base in the distance—a huge base floating in the air, slowly approaching.
Sang Luoluo immediately became alert, as did Qi Feng. There was no other way; that's how Base 71 was destroyed.
The scenes of Base 71 being looted by other bases after the catastrophe were still vivid in my mind.
Sang Luoluo murmured, "Is Base 03 targeting Base No. 32?"
Qi Feng paused for a moment, a flicker in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "It's hard to say. Last time, Base 71 was already in dire straits, but Base No. 32 hasn't reached that point yet. This time, half of the base's survivors are still alive, and the base's infrastructure is gradually being restored. Supplies are plentiful, and they still have a certain ability to resist."
"At this moment, they might be looking to plunder resources, such as food or Crystal Core."
Sang Luoluo thought so too, but she was more worried about the combat strength of Base No. 32. The base had not been fully rebuilt yet, and its combat strength was limited. If a war really broke out, their base really had no chance of winning.
Sang Luoluo wasn't in the mood to go back and rest either, saying, "Let's go to the base commander. I'm one of the base's high-ranking officials now, and I have a say in making decisions."
"Okay. I'll get Lei Qi and the others back right now, they're ready to go at any time."
They were very close to where the base commander was, and they arrived in a few minutes.
Sang Luoluo stored the helicopter in her spatial storage, and she and Qi Feng headed directly towards the base commander's residence.
Although it was called a dwelling, it was nothing more than a simple tent at this point, and there were more guards around it.
At this time, many high-ranking officials received the news and rushed over.
A heated discussion could be heard coming from inside the tent.
"At this point, if Base 03 were to attack us, the forces we can currently muster would be insufficient to secure a victory, and they occupy the high ground. If we were to fight, we would inevitably be defeated."
"They've been here for an hour, but so far they haven't shown any intention of making a move."
"Perhaps we can try to negotiate. Chang Mingyao, the commander of Base 03, is a very shrewd man. I've dealt with him a few times, and I've never gained any advantage over him."
Sang Luoluo told Qi Feng to wait at the door while she went inside.
Seeing a dozen or so familiar high-ranking officials present, but not Base Commander Sang Tong, Sang Luoluo asked, "Huh, where's the Base Commander?"
Someone replied, "The base commander is on the phone with Base 03. Twenty minutes have passed."
After understanding the situation, Sang Luoluo waited on the side.
Since they're on the phone, it means the situation isn't as bad as it seems. At least Base 03 hasn't opened fire directly. Since they haven't taken action, they might be after something else.
"Miss Sang, we heard you've been to Base 03 before. Could you tell us about what it was like there?"
One of the higher-ups set his sights on Sang Luoluo.
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo thought to herself that there was nothing wrong with saying it, and said, "Then I'll briefly describe what I saw. Base 03 lacks nothing. They have their own planting bases with stable output. Their military capabilities are also very strong, with ample weapons and aircraft. The management is also very strict and organized. The conditions in their base are considered good. Ordinary people can eat normal meals if they work hard."
"Since they lack nothing, what are they doing at our base? What benefit would they gain from destroying our base?"
Another senior official countered, "Isn't the base commander still in talks? Our base has always maintained cooperation with Base 03. The last time we delivered goods to Base 03, it was Miss Sang who went. The cooperative relationship between our two bases can't just deteriorate like that."
"One should always be wary of others."
Sang Luoluo said, "That's not out of the question. I used to work for Base 71. After Base 71 71 a major disaster, they came to clean up the mess. I almost ended up working at Base 03."
I was fortunate enough to have my cousin's help in establishing a partnership with Base 03, which allowed me to safely descend from Base 03.
During the period when she was trading with Base 03, she could tell from her conversations with Chang Mingyao, the leader of Base 03, on the forum that he was a very shrewd and calculating person who always sought to maximize his own interests.
Just as everyone was having a heated discussion, Base Commander Sang Tong finally ended the call and walked out from the back.
His expression was serious; it was clear the situation was grave.
All eyes turned to the base commander.
Everyone was extremely anxious, as this concerned the life and death of the base.
Sang Tong looked at everyone, and amidst their worried gazes, his steady voice rang out. "As you all see, Base 03 is just outside the base, getting closer and closer. I just spoke with Base 03 Commander Chang Mingyao, who invited me and several high-ranking officials to Base 03 for a face-to-face meeting."
"Base Commander, this won't do. If you go, what will happen to the base? What if they detain you? What will happen to the base's decision-making?"
"Yes, Commander, you can't take the risk. This can be done by someone else."
Base Commander Sang Tong raised his hand to stop them, and continued, "I am the base commander, this is my duty. Moreover, Chang Mingyao expressed his willingness to cooperate on the phone just now, and he currently has no intention of attacking. I need to go up there personally."
"Have your assistant prepare the plane; we'll depart in ten minutes."
"In addition, each of the four major families will send a high-level representative. I'll have Sang Luoluo come with me."
Inside the tent, the high-ranking officials exchanged glances, deciding to quickly choose who would go. If the base commander dared to go, then they had nothing to fear; they were all the most influential high-ranking members of several families.
Of course, they also left themselves a backup plan, so that if anything unexpected happened, there would be younger members of the family who could take charge.
Sang Luoluo was naturally willing to go. Although she was unsure of herself, she was confident that she could protect herself at Base 03.
Each of the other three families sent one person, plus Sang Luoluo and the base chief, making a total of five people. They then boarded the plane with a few guards.
Qi Feng followed her. Sang Luoluo had Crystal Core in her spatial storage, but no one else knew about them. Even if they did, they wouldn't say anything.
The base commander's aircraft is the safest plane. When it encountered mutated birds on the way, the plane had already used its Crystal Core to kill the mutated birds before Sang Luoluo could even make a move.
The aircraft approached the vicinity of Base 03. Two aircraft flew out from Base 03 and led the way to a docking point near the top floor, where the group disembarked.
Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng were quite familiar with this place; it wasn't their first time here.
For the others, it was their first time up here, and they were a little unaccustomed to standing on the deck high in the air. Looking down from above, they were even a little afraid of heights.
Is it really safe to live so high up?
Soon, as they walked along, several of the older executives realized their narrow-mindedness.
Although Base 03 is a flying steel base, its operation is flawless. If any mutated birds approach, they are simply shot down by patrolling aircraft from afar. Not to mention, Base 03 is surrounded by Crystal Core. If those mutated birds dare to come, they will surely die.
The air conditioning inside was running at full blast, and the entire base was powered by Crystal Core cores, along with other power generation devices, ensuring ample energy supply.
A year ago, before the meteor shower, it was incredibly difficult for any base to find a Crystal Core in the wild. They were reluctant to use the Crystal Core elsewhere and hoarded them all as backup energy.
But now, several meteorite showers have fallen, and in some places, meteorite showers are almost rampant. There are Crystal Core everywhere. Some have fallen to the ground, while others have entered the bodies of mutated animals or mutated plants and are circulating within them. As long as we put in some effort and think of some ways, finding the Crystal Core is not difficult.
