A base that has existed on the sea for nearly three hundred years, and has maintained trade relations with other bases for so many years, is not to be underestimated.
How do they survive? The ocean is also irradiated, and the creatures in it are also highly radioactive. Finding food in the sea is not easy.
Based on the information the base has about Base 04, it's not much. Apart from having business dealings with a few bases it usually cooperates with, Base 04 almost never lets the land bases discover its existence.
"It's so mysterious," Sang Luoluo thought to herself.
Seeing that everyone else had started eating, Sang Luoluo took out a can of food for two people, still warm. Of course, with so many people present, Sang Luoluo didn't dare to take out fresh food, as it would be too offensive if people saw it.
Canned food is much more common; many of them eat canned food.
Sang Luoluo ate one meat dish and one vegetable dish, and two cans of food were about enough. Qi Feng turned to the side, conveniently blocking the gazes of the others.
After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, it was getting dark outside.
Sang Luoluo closed her eyes to rest, her consciousness sinking into the space. She first busied herself with farm work. The newly purchased batch of robots had already started working, and there was nothing on the farm that she needed to worry about for the time being.
After placing the excess output into the Stasis Zone, Sang Luoluo looked towards the forum area.
There are many popular posts there.
Sang Luoluo was there, scrolling through information about Base 04.
After flipping through hundreds of pages, I finally learned some information about Base 04 from these discussions.
As luck would have it, Sang Luoluo saw that someone had started a thread specifically asking about Base 04, and even more coincidentally, the person who posted the information was from Base No. 32. Sang Luoluo guessed that person might be on their current aircraft.
Unfortunately, no one answered. When someone finally did reply, it was out of curiosity, hoping to glean some information.
Sang Luoluo looked at the comments she found about Base 04.
Those people at Base 04 are also snapping up supplies on the Farm App.
They also complained about the lack of supplies, mainly because they had Crystal Core, but the resources available on the Farm App were too few and far between. It simply wasn't enough.
Sang Luoluo glanced at the other data again. Several people were showing off the storage space they had purchased. Goodness, more than a hundred people had bought it, more than any other base.
This also shows that the people at this base are not lacking in Crystal Core.
But where did their Crystal Core come from?
Sea mile?
Mutant animals in the sea are probably harder to catch than those on land.
Sang Luoluo filled with questions and wanted to know more, but she could only find out once she boarded the ship at Base 04.
I rested in a corner of the aircraft at night, listening to the torrential rain outside. In the middle of the night, mutated animals attacked the aircraft, but were killed by the people on night duty using the Crystal Core on the aircraft. The smell of blood attracted more mutated animals.
However, the aircraft's attack capabilities were extremely strong, posing little threat to them.
The next day was a bright and sunny day. The storm had passed, and the sun came out immediately, creating the illusion of a peaceful and sunny day with the sea breeze.
The high temperature outside the aircraft rose, and after a rain, the mutated plants on the land grew rapidly overnight. Before anyone knew it, the ground was covered with overgrown mutated weeds, and some of the vines of the mutated weeds had already wrapped around the wheels at the bottom of the aircraft.
The aircraft activated its Crystal Core at the bottom to deal with the vines, and then successfully hovered in mid-air.
A long time passed.
Suddenly, Chang Mingyao, the commander of Base 03, exclaimed excitedly, "They're here!"
Everyone immediately perked up.
Looking out over the sea.
Unfortunately, I didn't see anything.
Before long, a small black dot finally appeared in the distance. As it slowly approached and zoomed in, a huge ship appeared on the sea.
Chang Mingyao glanced down at the information on his wristwatch, his expression finally relaxing slightly. He said gently, "Go to the ship."
The aircraft then flew towards the giant ship in the distance.
Upon closer inspection, Sang Luoluo realized that the giant ship was even larger than she had imagined.
However, it looks somewhat dilapidated, with traces of repair on the exterior. Well, it's been nearly 300 years since it was abandoned in the wasteland. Even the best buildings will fade eventually. It's quite remarkable that it has been able to be used until now after so many repairs.
After all, even Base 03 shows signs of repair on the outside. Although some new materials have emerged and been put into use in recent years, they cannot cover the entire building.
The aircraft came to a steady stop on the deck.
The group disembarked from the aircraft and followed Chang Mingyao down.
At this moment, a group of people armed with Crystal Core arrived at Base 04. Judging from their appearance, it seemed more like they were escorting someone than welcoming them.
Chang Mingyao did not resist; on the contrary, before going down, he instructed everyone not to make any rash moves.
Everything was done according to his commands.
" Base Chief Chang, it's been a long time. The last time we met was seven years ago."
The speaker was a bearded soldier, fully armed, with only his face showing as he greeted them with a forced, insincere smile.
Chang Mingyao maintained his usual smile and stepped forward to shake hands with him, " Captain Li, long time no see. How has Base Chief Wang been? How is his health?"
The other person's expression shifted, but he still maintained a forced smile and said, " Base Chief Chang, our base commander is in good health and has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in."
Chang Mingyao nodded. "Okay."
The other party stopped the people following behind, saying, "Not too many people can go in. Base Chief Chang, you go in by yourself. Where's the person who came to deliver supplies? He can come with you."
Chang Mingyao's smile faded. He sensed the change in his teammates' expressions and knew they had noticed the danger. He forced a smile and said, "You guys wait outside. Sang Luoluo, you come in with me."
Sang Luoluo's heart skipped a beat; he didn't have a good feeling about the people in this base.
"Good."
The moment she landed, she immediately spread her senses, and everything within a three-kilometer radius was within her field of vision.
I've learned a bit about the legendary Base 04.
It's fair to say that the base wasn't as good as she had imagined.
Let's start with the rooms below. The base's civilians' rest area is in cramped rooms, each containing a row of folding beds, three bunk beds in total, with each person having only one bed for survival.
In fact, it's far inferior to those bases on land.
Further up, you'll find some slightly more spacious rooms; these are the upper floors.
Below the ship's cabin was an armory. A quick Mental Power revealed that it contained only Crystal Core, many of which Sang Luoluo had never seen before. Judging from the shape of the Crystal Core and the energy stored within them, they were extremely powerful, seemingly specially developed to target mutated fish found on the seabed.
Inside, there are also laboratories, a canteen area, a medical area, a public activity area, etc. It's not that big, but it has everything you need.
It's about the same as Base 03.
Although the conditions may not be as good as those at Base 03, Sang Luoluo "observed" some of the experiments at Base 04, and the amount of Crystal Core reserves far exceeded that of other bases.
It's out of sight beyond that point.
After walking a distance with Chang Mingyao, Sang Luoluo was finally able to perceive some new scenery.
On the other side of the giant ship, there was a huge agricultural Planting System, even larger than Base 03. Moreover, its power supply system was provided by Crystal Core, and the entire Planting System was currently producing some fresh vegetables.
Although some of the vegetables were mutated, most of them were radiation-free or had low levels of radiation, and only a small portion were inedible.
This already surpasses most bases on land.
Upon seeing this, Sang Luoluo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; this Base 04 was indeed powerful.
Her senses also allowed her to see other parts of the base, various warehouses filled with supplies, and not only on the ships, but also underwater, with fishing boats equipped with the most advanced Crystal Core.
Goodness!
No wonder they have no shortage of food and are completely self-sufficient. They can also refine salt and trade it with other bases.
There are other warehouses and rooms in the ship's cabin, but they are too far away for her to see from where she is now.
Chang Mingyao was following the people forward, completely unaware that Sang Luoluo had already quietly observed Base 04.
After turning left and right in the cabin, Sang Luoluo almost lost her way, and finally arrived at a large reception room.
Captain Li pushed open the door and went in, with his team members lined up behind him in a state of alert.
Sang Luoluo had already used her Mental Power to see clearly the Base Chief Wang inside. He looked to be over sixty years old, with gray hair and dark skin, clearly having spent a lot of time in the sun. His eyes were somewhat cloudy. Standing beside him were two young men who looked to be in their early twenties, almost thirty years old. They bore a resemblance to the base commander, and Sang Luoluo guessed that these two must be the base commander's sons.
Chang Mingyao entered, he put on a polite smile again, " Base Chief Wang, long time no see. It's not easy for you to come all this way, is there anything good to eat?"
You can't hit someone who's smiling. Chang Mingyao was very good at putting on a show. Judging from his familiarity with Base Chief Wang, they must have had some dealings before.
Base Chief Wang an old man, and his voice was somewhat hoarse. Perhaps it was due to his age, but he spoke with some difficulty, straining his voice as he said, " Chang Mingyao, Base Chief Chang, the last time I saw you, you were just a boy. It's been years, and you've already taken over your father's position."
