In addition, over the next few days, the base sent people to collect a large amount of energy resources in the wild. The base's high command decided to send Sang Luoluo to bring those resources back.
Sang Luoluo had no problem with that; it was just running errands, and she'd even get a small commission.
Now that she's part of the base, and since the base has just survived a disaster and is recovering, she's willing to help.
After the time and place for the mission were set, Sang Luoluo received the notification on her wristwatch and immediately left the meeting.
Sang Luoluo immediately forwarded the task information she received to Qi Feng.
[It's just you and me going on this mission; everyone else stay home.]
When we went downstairs for dinner, Qi Xue ran in from outside, changed her shoes at the door, and told everyone, "It's Xiaoxue outside. It's getting cold so quickly!"
Sang Luoluo gathered everyone together and talked to them about preventing the mutation of rats.
Qi Feng immediately had an idea. "I just saw the announcement from the base. I'll go to the market later and buy a few more detectors."
Xiao Li and Li Jiu immediately agreed.
" Xiao Li, Li Jiu, you two continue working on the greenhouse and the mutant mushroom cultivation. Xiaoxue and Lei Qi, you two check every corner of the house, make sure there are no blind spots, and design a layout for the detectors to defend against mutant animals."
"Yes, boss."
Now that we have all the necessary equipment and tools, this work is much easier to do.
Qi Feng then announced another matter, "I'll be going on a mission with Luoluo for the next few days, so you're in charge of things at home. Contact us directly if there's any emergency."
Lei Qi patted his chest. "Boss, don't worry about me. You and Boss Sang can just focus on your work."
He Fei, who was left, asked, "Boss, what should I do?"
Qi Feng looked at Sang Luoluo: " He Fei has the best eyesight among us. Luoluo, why don't we take him with us on this mission? It's snowing outside now, and when we go on the mission, everything will be covered in white. Taking him along is like having an extra detector."
Sang Luoluo: "Okay, I'll feel at ease having him with me."
Qi Feng has extensive experience in the wild, and his plans are based on his own considerations, which Sang Luoluo agrees with.
Chapter 299 Beware of a chilling aura
Before the mission was even launched, a small swarm of rats broke out in the base.
The base hasn't been rebuilt for long, so these mutated rats probably entered when the base was damaged and weren't completely eradicated. Now, with the temperature plummeting and snow falling again, the mutated rats are starting to come out and look for food.
Humans on the ground are one of their food sources. Of course, there are also some edible, low-radiation foods that they cultivate. These foods are not only delicious and have a unique flavor in the eyes of humans, but also in the eyes of mutated animals.
Given a delicious meal, who would choose to eat something too tough to chew?
Sang Luoluo felt very down when she heard the news during the meeting that morning.
She immediately informed the rest of her family.
Sang Yunpu just sent a message saying that several patients at the base have been found to be injured by the mutated rats and are receiving emergency treatment. Fortunately, none of them are in life-threatening danger. He told them to be careful at home.
Qi Feng immediately led his family to block up every blind spot in the house. In addition, using the materials sold at the market yesterday, they quickly installed several surveillance cameras and security devices. They were very skilled at setting up these things, Sang Luoluo was very relieved.
With an upcoming mission, this incident occurred at the base.
Sang Luoluo seemed somewhat absent-minded while eating.
Qi Xue noticed that Sang Luoluo was worried about her family and said, " Luoluo, you can rest assured that you'll have a good job leaving things at home with us. Don't you trust our abilities? Besides, your brother is still here. Even if he gets injured, it won't be a big problem."
Sang Luoluo realized what was happening and explained, "I'm not doubting your strength, I'm just worried about the base. We all came from Base 71, and we experienced a rat infestation back then. The destructive power and reproductive rate of these things are terrifying. I'm afraid the base's treatment will only be a temporary fix."
"The base has some countermeasures in place, but most of the people there are ordinary people with limited combat capabilities. The mutated rats also like to move in groups, and if they attack humans, the consequences are obvious. I'm just a little scared. The base was finally established with great difficulty, and the two bases have been developing better and better together. If we suffer significant losses because of the rat plague, it will be very upsetting."
Upon Sang Luoluo's words, Qi Xue also recalled the situation when she was seriously injured and had her limbs amputated, and the residential area was plagued by rats. If it weren't for Sang Luoluo pulling them out at that time, she probably wouldn't have survived.
Qi Xue was relieved at this moment. "Things are different now than before. All of us are capable of fighting. While the three of you are away, I will go with them to patrol the area. If we find any mutated rats, we will definitely wipe them out."
Sang Luoluo nodded. "I'm willing to help, but your own safety is the most important thing."
She's come to terms with it; if she can lend a hand, she will, and if she can't, there's nothing she can do.
"We'll be leaving early tomorrow morning, everyone get a good night's rest."
After finishing her sentence, Sang Luoluo went back to her room to rest.
Actually, they entered the space to inspect the farm.
While agricultural robots are useful, they still require programming, and in some areas, human assistance is still necessary.
The mutated vines in the space produced another batch of new fruit, and the other small mutated vines also came back to life. They were in excellent condition and growing very fast. Not long after they were planted, some new leaves had already sprouted.
Sang Luoluo approached and watered each of them with the Spirit Spring Water, and they were all very happy.
They seem to possess a faint awareness, expressing their happiness.
This was the emotion that Sang Luoluo sensed with her Mental Power.
The fruit growing on that large mutated vine will probably ripen in a few days.
Sang Luoluo went to the livestock area again and saw small robots busy everywhere.
Some people were collecting eggs, filling basket after basket and then moving them out for the next trip.
Some robots process the old vegetable leaves and corn stalks removed from the vegetable section, chop them up, and feed them to chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep.
Sang Luoluo drank a few sips of the Spirit Spring Water, took a hot bath, and then went to sleep when it was time to go.
Qi Feng Qi Feng had already prepared the food for their outings these past few days. To make sure everyone else had the same food, he specially made some canned goods. The taste wasn't too strong, but they were all things Sang Luoluo liked to eat.
The next morning, Sang Luoluo woke up to her alarm, washed up, and without even having breakfast, went out with Qi Feng and drove to the meeting point.
It was just dawn, and Xiaoxue was still falling outside.
The ground was covered in a blanket of white.
There were already people waiting beside the aircraft. This mission was full of new faces, and the team leader was a young man in his early twenties.
Although Sang Luoluo Sang Luoluo n't recognize him, the other party did. This mission was top secret, and the other party dared not be careless in the slightest. Upon seeing Sang Luoluo arrive, the car disappeared as soon as she got out. Sang Luoluo knew that this was the high-ranking member of the Space Department mentioned above.
He quickly came to greet them.
"Miss Sang, hello. I'm Zhang Qin, the team leader for this mission, responsible for your safety."
Sang Luoluo also introduced the people around her, "These two are my bodyguards, Qi Feng and He Fei."
Hello.
After shaking hands, they boarded the aircraft together.
The pilot started the aircraft, which quickly took off and headed towards its mission destination.
Zhang Qin had long heard of this high-ranking official in the base. Space-type Evolver were extremely capable, especially in transporting large quantities of supplies like this. The aircraft itself had limited carrying capacity, and the transport itself also took time. With a space-type Evolver like Sang Luoluo involved, the mission would become much simpler.
Zhang Qin was a little unaccustomed to doing such a simple task for the first time.
Of course, also in order to build a good relationship with the other party, Zhang Qin was very enthusiastic throughout the journey and began to introduce the specific details of the mission.
"The destination of this mission is quite far from the base, about 200 kilometers away. It's in a primeval forest. Since the base reconstruction began, people have been sent there to establish a temporary mining site. There are about 2,000 people and some large-scale equipment being assembled there. After this period of mining, a large amount of resources have been accumulated."
"We're just waiting to transport it back. Miss Sang, according to feedback from the base personnel at the front, other base personnel have been spotted recently. Please be careful when you go down."
Sang Luoluo nodded. "Thank you for letting me know."
A question still lingered in my mind, "How far is that destination from the other bases?"
Zhang Qin replied with a relaxed expression, "It's far. That mining site is the closest to our base. However, these resources in the wild are all unclaimed. Our base has just secured them first. If other bases want to send people to take them, they'll have to go to war."
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo understood a bit. The base had a dedicated department for energy acquisition, covering many nearby areas. She had heard them discuss this at a high-level meeting, but she only knew the basics. The real secrets were only known to the department and the base commander; other high-ranking officials would not be informed for reasons of secrecy.
Sang Luoluo took out a few cans of food and bottled soy milk, shared them with Qi Feng, and after they finished eating, they had almost arrived at their destination.
