Sang Luoluo felt that she needed to be more discreet when going on missions in the future.
Although the base has tried its best to keep its existence secret, other bases still have many ways to find out about the situation of Base No. 32. For example, this time, even the exact time of their mission could be predicted. The ambush on the way was obviously well-prepared.
I just don't know how many spies from other bases the base's leadership has.
Intimidated by the mutated black bear, Sang Ping and his men, armed with Crystal Core, aimed at the five opponents.
"Surrender and you will not be killed."
At this moment, the five people opposite saw that the huge black bear was not attacking the people from Base No. 32 at all. What was there to understand? This mutated black bear belonged to them. If they really started fighting, the five of them would die right here and there, with no way to escape.
After a moment's internal struggle, they decided that their lives were more important and laid down their weapons.
Sang Ping ordered his men to tie the five men's hands and blindfold them.
They started asking how many people had come and if anyone else was nearby.
The five people on the other side were interrogated separately, and they quickly confessed everything in detail.
Besides the people they had already eliminated, there was another team providing backup dozens of kilometers away, but they hadn't made a move yet. In addition, there were two aircraft nearby, but unfortunately, they couldn't be contacted now, and they didn't know what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo and the others realized that the closest trouble was resolved, but it was uncertain whether those further away would be able to find them.
Sang Ping returned with his men, and Sang Luoluo saw that they were all tied up and blindfolded.
Sang Luoluo asked, "What do we do now? Should we risk going back to base or continue hiding here?"
He then looked at Qi Feng and Sang Ping, wanting to hear their opinions.
Sang Ping said, "They just confessed that there are still their people dozens of kilometers away. These people have been out of contact for a while. If this drags on any longer, those people might come looking for us."
Qi Feng chimed in, "Flying back now isn't necessarily a bad thing. We have a better chance of breaking out. If we stay here, the base could easily send reinforcements, and we could easily engage them in combat. Then the situation could become unpredictable."
Sang Ping nodded. He knew that Sang Luoluo had another flying vehicle, which they could use to fly back.
His only concern was whether the other mission locations had already been attacked by the enemy.
Unfortunately, we didn't get any useful information from these five people.
So he made a decision. "Let's go back. Let's get rid of this enemy first."
There weren't many people left, and he didn't want Sang Luoluo to risk her life with them. Although Sang Luoluo was very capable, if she were to perish here, the loss would be enormous.
And we must not lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains.
Upon hearing his words, Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to detect that there was nothing unusual in the surroundings. With a wave of her hand, her flying vehicle appeared above the group.
He casually put the mutated black bear away.
Use your Mental Power to bring everyone onto the flying machine.
The five blindfolded Evolver felt as if they were suspended in mid-air before landing on the ground. It wasn't until the spacecraft started moving that they realized they were actually on it.
Among these people are also Evolver, and their abilities are quite unique.
Some of them were wounded; they only received basic treatment and needed to return to base as soon as possible.
Qi Feng instructed Sang Ping to pilot the aircraft, Sang Luoluo told him to go full speed ahead and not stop no matter what he encountered along the way.
Although it was risky, Sang Ping still chose Sang Luoluo and directly piloted the aircraft towards the base at top speed.
At this moment, Sang Luoluo also fully unleashed her Mental Power, concentrating on dealing with the strange object appearing in the air.
At this moment, their aircraft was still above the dense forest when a black dot suddenly appeared in the vast, white sky above the forest. The mutated birds active in the forest quickly spotted it.
Several of them flew over directly, flapped their wings a few times, and swooped down towards the aircraft at high speed. Their huge size brought with it a powerful momentum, and their speed was no slower than that of the aircraft.
Sang Ping watched the red dot on the aircraft's radar getting closer and closer, approaching from three directions. He felt a chill run down his spine, but he still chose to trust Sang Luoluo and accelerated.
Qi Feng watched from beside Sang Luoluo, feeling somewhat nervous. Although Sang Luoluo's Mental Power Mental Power was currently strong, he wondered how effective she would be in controlling it at such a rapid pace, which would definitely put her under more pressure than usual.
Thinking of this, all I could think about was finding more Crystal Core for her to absorb in the future. If she became stronger, they wouldn't be so passive.
Unfortunately, at such a distance, his lightning abilities were useless.
As soon as the mutated bird approached within controllable range, she instantly pulled it into space, causing no damage to the aircraft's flight.
However, she was also sweating; this level of Mental Power control was extremely stressful.
I need to train harder when I have time.
Having just escaped the mutated birds, the next challenge is the enemy's aircraft.
Unfortunately, the other side still managed to spot their aircraft from dozens of miles away.
And as soon as they discovered it, they dispatched several aircraft to pursue it from a distance.
Sang Ping always remembered what he was supposed to do and kept moving forward at full speed without stopping.
Although the distant aircraft were also pursuing at full speed, their speed was similar, and they maintained the same distance. Moreover, because there were mutated birds active in the air, their aircraft together made them a large target and easy prey for the mutated birds.
Therefore, upon spotting the mutated bird, the following aircraft had to slow down immediately, otherwise a collision with the bird would have been fatal.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the red dot on the instrument panel slow down.
We flew towards the base for about half an hour.
They finally met up with the reinforcements from the base.
Sang Ping contacted the people at the base and explained the current situation.
This time, one of the base commanders Chang Mingyao, was present, followed by thirty aircraft.
Fully armed.
Chang Mingyao ordered one of the aircraft to take the five wounded and captured soldiers back to base first. They also needed to check on other mission sites to see if any losses had been suffered.
The situation is not good now. In several places, we are no longer receiving replies, even when using the Farm App as a communication method, there is no response.
"You guys take a rest first, I'll lead the team from now on," Chang Mingyao said decisively.
Since those people are chasing us, we should go and meet them. We can't just suffer this loss like this.
Sang Luoluo and the others rested on the aircraft and ate some canned food to replenish their energy.
Sang Luoluo absorbed several Crystal Core to replenish her depleted Mental Power.
Qi Feng and his companion found a comfortable spot to rest, eat something, and drink some water.
Even while resting, the three remained vigilant, ready to rejoin the battle at any moment.
They quickly returned to the location where they had been chased. The enemy aircraft had just recovered from a fierce battle with the mutated birds when they discovered on the radar that support from Base No. 32 had arrived.
The only option was to immediately notify the teammates.
Unfortunately, Chang Mingyao was also quite experienced in combat, and this time he brought enough manpower. Before coming over, he had already sent ten aircraft to flank them from other directions. An investigation revealed that the attackers were a joint force from Base No. 28 and Base No. 36, which were relatively close to their base.
These two bases suffered heavy losses in the recent natural disaster, so some of the higher-ups at the bases set their sights on them.
He really thinks those two bases are easy to bully by joining forces. If he doesn't teach them a lesson, he'll be unworthy of being called the commander of Base 03.
Soon, an aerial battle ensued. The enemy aircraft in front was destroyed, and the other two flanking aircraft also shot down enemy aircraft.
Thinking of the spacecraft wreckage in the space, Sang Luoluo said, "Let's take these spacecraft wreckage back with us. They weren't cheap to build; we can rework them and make new ones."
Chang Mingyao thought this was a great way to make use of waste, so he asked Sang Ping to take Sang Luoluo down to collect it.
Other aircraft provided escort.
Sang Luoluo was also very fast. After the aircraft hovered in the air, she used her Mental Power to fly down and collected the scattered debris into her space in just a few minutes.
Seeing how efficient Sang Luoluo was, Chang Mingyao had already sent over the location of the crash sites of the other two flanking aircraft. It wouldn't make a difference if he waited a little longer.
It was more than half an hour later when Sang Luoluo collected the other enemy aircraft that had been shot down.
As darkness fell, Chang Mingyao led his men to the nearest destination where they had lost contact.
Upon arrival, they discovered they could no longer contact the person in charge, there were no survivors, and all resources had been looted.
Only a few scraps remained, which I couldn't take with me.
Chang Mingyao had no choice but to say to Sang Luoluo, "Let's collect these remaining supplies, along with the tents, corpses, and other items, and take them back. Then we'll go check out other places."
Someone has already sent Sang Luoluo the red dots showing the distribution of the remaining supplies here; Sang Luoluo only needs to collect the supplies according to their location.
Qi Feng and He Fei followed Sang Luoluo. It was just getting dark, and because the snow was white, visibility was not impaired. The mutated animals became more active and emerged from all directions. The two of them killed the mutated animals that suddenly appeared, back to back.
