Sang Luoluo listened to the advice and said, "Alright."
I took out my watch and started estimating the time.
Wait half an hour, then go out and check the situation.
Of course, just to be on the safe side, Sang Luoluo took out their heavy armor from the space and put it on. Qi Feng and He Fei each wore a set, and the few others who weren't wearing them were given to Zhang Qin and a few of his team members. The others stayed here for the time being, as it would be easy to go out without the protection of heavy armor.
Zhang Qin and his team were inside the aircraft, but before they could even put on their heavy armor, the aircraft was blown up. They didn't even know if the heavy armor was destroyed.
Half an hour later, it was estimated that the base's reinforcements had arrived.
Sang Luoluo led the group of people wearing heavy armor out and immediately used her Mental Power to create a defensive barrier.
There was a large crater beneath their feet, a testament to the power of the high-energy Crystal Core that had attacked them earlier. The enemy probably thought they were all dead and left them alone.
Qi Feng gestured, and everyone quickly left the area and headed towards the spot where the minerals had struck.
There was the sound of artillery fire in the distance; it seemed that reinforcements from the base had arrived, and the two sides had already exchanged fire.
Meanwhile, local cargo planes were still hovering above the minerals when Sang Luoluo set up a high-energy Crystal Core and aimed it at the hovering planes, opening fire directly.
Qi Feng and his team also targeted the aircraft within their attack range. Those aircraft were hovering and didn't move, making them easy targets.
As soon as Sang Luoluo fire, she shot down five nearby aircraft. Some of them were already carrying minerals. When they were hit and fell, not only were the aircraft shattered, but the minerals were also scattered all over the ground.
Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to lift her body off the ground and land on a tree branch, using the leaves to conceal herself. Qi Feng and He Fei, on the other hand, positioned themselves defensively below, searching for targets to attack.
Zhang Qin assisted from the sidelines. As they moved slowly, Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to detect the enemy's location and opened fire in that direction.
By the time the enemy reacted, Qi Feng and his team had already followed up with their attack, taking down more than a dozen of them.
Sang Luoluo continued to raise her body, and the suspended Crystal Core rose into the air, hovering in mid-air. She directly aimed at the distant flying vehicle and bombarded it with concentrated firepower, hitting it every time.
Immediately, the enemy lost most of their aircraft.
Seeing the other aircraft firing, Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to quickly move and dodge, landing steadily on the ground.
He pointed in a direction. "Where are our men and the enemy fighting?"
Without a word, Zhang Qin led his men ahead. With Sang Luoluo's Mental Power assisting them, they were the first to spot the enemy opening fire from a distance of over a thousand meters.
Without the enemy's high-energy Crystal Core firepower to suppress them, they advanced unstoppable and directly rendezvoused with the base's support team.
The battle ended quickly. Seeing that things were not going well, the enemy fled in their remaining aircraft, and all the people on the ground were killed.
The person who came was Sang Ping.
At this moment, they saw that Sang Luoluo and the others were safe and sound.
He also breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're all alright."
Sang Luoluo said, "We're fine, but I'm afraid there aren't many survivors among the garrison here."
The enemy was clearly prepared.
Sang Ping has already sent people to clear the battlefield and see if there are any survivors.
Sang Luoluo was somewhat puzzled. "How come we suddenly encountered such a large-scale attack? This is the first time I've encountered one in all my missions."
Sang Ping wasn't surprised. Thinking of this year's disaster, he sighed, "The other bases are just jealous. They're no longer satisfied with trading; they're openly robbing us. This time, it was our oversight. We didn't expect the enemy to launch a sudden attack and even find out about our resource gathering points."
The ground was littered with aircraft wreckage and corpses. Further away, mutated animals were already boldly coming over to tear the bodies apart.
Chapter 302 Aftermath [L, hello, I'm the Farm Owner.]...
"Now that our bases have merged, many bases have received the news. With frequent disasters this year, I'm afraid more than one base is targeting us," Sang Ping explained patiently.
The base was already on high alert, but they didn't expect the enemy to launch a surprise attack on the mine first.
It's still an unremarkable mine.
If Sang Luoluo and the others hadn't reacted quickly, they might have all perished here.
The remaining people are now clearing the battlefield. Many facilities here have been destroyed, and many people have died. Although some are alive, many others are injured.
Sang Ping said, "Several enemy aircraft were destroyed this time, and these can all be recovered and reused. Sang Luoluo, today might be a bit busy; transport the supplies here back tonight. Send them back to base first, and the rest can be sorted out later once we get there."
Sang Luoluo, of course, had no problem. "I'll follow the base's arrangements."
The group didn't sit idle either. Sang Luoluo took the things and immediately boarded a flying vehicle to return to the base. This time, the return trip took less than half an hour, and the speed on the road was extremely fast.
Upon arriving at the base, the person in charge had already cleared out an open space specifically for storing the supplies for this mission. Sang Luoluo put down the minerals she had collected from her spatial storage and then quickly left.
They returned again to load the remaining supplies.
After making five trips, Sang Luoluo brought back not only the minerals, but also the wreckage of the aircraft, some damaged equipment, and other living supplies for everyone.
Not only Sang Luoluo numerous trips back and forth, but Sang Ping also led his men back and forth several times to transport the wounded back. In addition, the deceased also needed to have their affairs handled properly.
By the time I finished everything, it was already around 11 p. m.
Sang Luoluo returned to the base and went straight home.
The supplies she brought back will need to be processed by her tomorrow.
Everyone went back to rest.
Sang Luoluo carefully reviewed the day's events. While she could protect herself against heavy Crystal Core, could she hide forever if someone targeted her?
Although there was no shortage of food and drink in the space, she couldn't just stay inside forever.
Looking at today's situation, the range of my Mental Power seems quite vast, but the areas I can actually control are indeed limited.
Even the detectable range seems far too small in the context of today's battle.
If her Mental Power detection range increased to 30,000 meters, the situation would be different, and she could easily resolve this battle.
So, the wider one's Mental Power detection and control range, the stronger one's safety will be; but it's still far from enough.
Next, we need to continue working hard to earn Crystal Core. To survive in this cruel wasteland world, we must constantly pursue greater strength.
I had just arrived at my room to rest when Base Commander Sang Tong called me via video.
" Luoluo, today's mission was our fault; we were careless and put you in such a dangerous situation."
Sang Luoluo smiled and replied, "It's alright, it's all over now. My companions and I survived. I have some new ideas. When facing those large Crystal Core, I realized that my strength was still too weak. If I hadn't dodged in time, I would have been done for today."
Sang Tong's feelings were somewhat complicated. With Sang Luoluo's abilities, she could easily earn more Crystal Core without taking on missions from the base. However, given the current situation of the base, it was the base that needed her, an evolved being. " Luoluo, the base needs you. Next time you go on a mission, I'll send more evolved beings to protect you."
Sang Luoluo didn't refuse. "Okay, thank you, base commander. I'll be careful too."
"Get some rest, and remember to attend tomorrow's morning meeting."
Sang Luoluo nodded, then went to her spatial dimension to take a hot bath to relax before going to sleep.
It was still Xiaoxue outside the window, and the temperature outside was around -8 degrees Celsius. The temperature at night could drop to -15 degrees Celsius. This was already considered good; the base's energy supply was sufficient, and the residents could use their heating equipment.
As soon as the alarm rang in the morning, Qi Feng came knocking on the door, telling her to get up quickly because there were still many things to do today.
Sang Luoluo reluctantly crawled out of her warm bed, put on protective clothing and thermal underwear, layer upon layer, which was perfect for combat.
After washing up, I went downstairs to eat.
Qi Feng had already prepared breakfast.
The three of them ate together.
"Huh, isn't my brother here?"
Qi Xue explained, "Your brother went to the hospital. I heard he brought back a lot of wounded soldiers yesterday, and the hospital urgently needs him. He was called away before dawn. I prepared some canned food for him. He'll have to stay in the hospital for a few days before he can come back."
Sang Luoluo nodded, exchanged a glance with Qi Feng and He Fei. No one knew better than the three of them, who had witnessed the arrival of those wounded.
Then Qi Xue continued, "Yesterday, while you were away, a few mutated rats did appear nearby, but we've already taken care of them all. We've also cleaned up the Crystal Core and put them away. Early this morning, Xiao Li and Li Jiu went to patrol the area to see if there were any mutated animals around."
Sang Luoluo spread her Mental Power and checked her villa. She didn't find any trace of the mutated animal, but she did find bloodstains left by the mutated animal in the corner of the wall outside, which should have been left after a battle.
Sang Luoluo said, "If necessary, we can use food to make a trap, that way it will save everyone trouble."
They've done this kind of thing many times before—using food as traps—and they're incredibly efficient.
