Sang Luoluo acted very quickly, collecting all the items from afar.
After circling the ground and finding nothing missing, it returned to the aircraft.
Chang Mingyao is very efficient. This time, he brought a large number of people with him, so there's no need to worry about safety even when traveling at night. They also have enough firepower to deal with large flocks of mutated birds.
Then we headed to our next destination, which was about a half-hour drive away.
Half an hour later, the resources here were also looted. However, there were still survivors who had been hiding well and had not come out, so they were overlooked by the enemy. Half of the resources were left. Sang Luoluo used the same method to collect the remaining supplies here into her space.
Hovering above the ground, the attacks from the mutated animals here posed little threat to her.
According to Chang Mingyao's plan, they would be going to other places next.
Chapter 308: The special karst caves are not over yet.
They were attacked several times by mutated birds in the night sky, but fortunately they had sufficient firepower and strong defenses, so they did not suffer any losses. By around midnight, Chang Mingyao had patrolled all eight nearby strongholds.
Most of the supplies at the previously lost outposts had already been looted by other bases, leaving no trace at the scene.
Judging from the traces left at the scene, there was definitely more than one base.
"How is it? Is the situation difficult?"
The locations we visited in succession had all been preemptively attacked by the enemy, creating an invisible pressure on everyone. No one could predict what these bases would do next.
Sang Ping leaned closer and asked, " Chang Mingyao is now one of the leaders of the base and is very experienced. Let's see what his decision is."
Chang Mingyao stared at the red dots on the map, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "These outposts only looted some supplies, leaving us some behind, which means they're still afraid we'll catch up."
"The other strongholds are still safe. We'll go together tomorrow and collect all the supplies from all the strongholds. We'll see how things go. These people are willing to take action, but they won't dare to attack all the strongholds."
Those who took action were still wary of their Base No. 32.
Sang Ping continued, "Should we withdraw everyone from the outposts? The outposts are too scattered, and gathering supplies will take time. If we are attacked again during this period, we will be in a very passive position."
Chang Mingyao shook his head. "We don't provoke trouble, but we're not afraid of it either. We'll strengthen patrols, and if they attack again, we won't hold back. In the past year, meteor showers have been frequent, and natural disasters have been common. If we keep giving in, the enemy will only think we're easy to bully."
Sang Ping fell silent. Although that made sense, he had already anticipated that the base's casualties would increase.
This damned world is already troublesome enough in terms of dealing with the harsh living environment and mutated plants and animals, but now we also have to be on guard against attacks and robberies from surrounding bases all the time. Sigh, when will these miserable days ever end?
All of this is because humanity's living space is too small; in order to survive, one must become stronger.
Chang Mingyao continued, "It's already late at night. Leave a few people on night duty, and the rest of you can rest."
The resting place is the very base where we just landed. The supplies here have been inventoried, and the survivors have been comforted. We'll be heading to the next location early tomorrow morning.
We need to gather supplies from the surrounding outposts as soon as possible.
After Chang Mingyao gave the order, everyone in the team received a message on their wristwatches.
Personnel on duty have been assigned, and the rest of the crew can rest. No one is allowed to leave the aircraft at night; the snowy area is teeming with mutated animals, making it extremely dangerous. If you're targeted by a mutated animal, you're bound to face trouble.
Sang Luoluo rested in her aircraft.
They grabbed a bunch of canned food and sat down with Qi Feng and He Fei to eat something hot.
Sang Ping has been gone for a while now, and I don't know if he'll ever come back.
Qi Feng said, "I'll be on night duty tonight. You should get some rest. Your Mental Power is quite depleted, so don't be careless."
He Fei said, "Then I'll take the second half of the night. Boss, you should get some rest too. Everyone needs to be well-rested to deal with any unexpected situations."
Qi Feng did not refuse. "Alright."
Sang Luoluo didn't compromise herself; she brought out three small beds, ate and drank her fill, and prepared to sleep.
The temperature in the wild is extremely low. The aircraft has an energy supply and can regulate the temperature, but it is very energy-intensive, and the heat easily attracts mutated animals from outside. Also, ice easily forms on the windows. Therefore, no one sets the temperature too high.
The built-in heating function of the protective suit can be used to adjust to a comfortable temperature.
Sang Luoluo placed a hot water bottle in the bed and turned on the electric blanket, not forgetting to give one to each of Qi Feng and He Fei, before falling asleep in a warm and cozy state.
After a long day, Sang Luoluo straight to sleep.
Qi Feng listened carefully to the sounds outside the aircraft, holding two Crystal Core in his hand and slowly absorbing them, closing his eyes to rest.
Nothing happened overnight. The next day, Sang Luoluo was woken up. Qi Feng was piloting the aircraft, He Fei was taking a nap.
Why didn't you wake me up sooner?
Sang Luoluo glanced out the window; they were in the sky.
Qi Feng smiled gently and said in a low voice, "Let you sleep a little longer, we're almost at the base."
" Sang Ping didn't come back last night; he's resting on another aircraft."
Sang Luoluo got up and packed her things. "Oh, he's quite busy."
He pulled out a bunch of canned goods. "Eat something quickly, or we'll be late when we get there."
Qi Feng told He Fei to eat first.
He Fei quickly finished eating and rushed off to replace Qi Feng.
Just as Qi Feng finished eating the hot canned food, the aircraft landed above the base.
Sang Luoluo's watch beeped twice; a message had arrived from Chang Mingyao.
In a short time, Chang Mingyao's team had already scanned the area and arranged the supplies to be collected.
Sang Luoluo opened the hatch and flew down. A blast of cold air hit her face; she could feel the chill even through her armor.
He habitually spread his Mental Power outwards, but found nothing amiss at this base.
Upon arriving at the supplies gathering point, Sang Luoluo stored the supplies in her spatial storage and then suddenly exclaimed "Eh!"
About 2,000 meters away, there is an underground cave. Strangely, mutated plants grow inside, and even at this time of year, there are ripe fruits.
Sang Luoluo made a video call to Chang Mingyao directly.
The call was connected quickly.
Sang Luoluo said directly, "I discovered an underground cave two kilometers away where mutated plants are growing and there are ripe fruits. Does the base know about this?"
Chang Mingyao was slightly surprised. A moment later, he saw the red dot that Sang Luoluo had circled on the map, roughly marking its location. He checked the base and found that there was nothing unusual about the treatment room, and the scanner had not detected anything abnormal either.
So he replied, "Are you sure?"
Sang Luoluo: "Of course. Don't you trust my Mental Power?"
Chang Mingyao, a decisive man, said, " Sang Ping, lead the team down to take a look. Keep in constant contact and bring radiation detectors."
Sang Luoluo went straight down; it was only two kilometers, she could just walk there.
They encountered several mutated animals on the road, but Qi Feng easily dealt with them with a wave of his hand.
Sang Ping led the way, accompanied by a team of people and equipment. They dared not be careless at all, as no one knew the condition of this underground cavern. They would have to wait until they went down to see for themselves to find out the specifics.
Before long, they arrived directly above the cave. Sang Luoluo spread her Mental Power and discovered an entrance. She pointed in the direction, indicating that they needed to take a detour, which was about four kilometers away.
Sang Ping dared not be careless. "I'll report to the base commander before we move forward."
Chang Mingyao gave his permission, only reminding them to be careful.
After taking a detour of more than 4,000 meters, the ground was covered with snow, and the group slowly made its way to the entrance, trudging through the deep snow with each step.
The entrance is very narrow and completely hidden by the branches of the mutated plants; it's impossible to find without carefully parting the branches.
Sang Ping directed his men to clear the entrance to the cave.
The mutated vines at the cave entrance were still moving, their branches shifting to cover the entrance once more.
Sang Luoluo thought to herself that it would be great if Li Jiu or Sang Jia were here, as their abilities would make things much easier.
There was no other way but to use force to clear it away. After clearing away the mutated plants, a hole was revealed that could only allow one person to pass through at a time.
Even the heavy armor couldn't fit inside, so everyone had no choice but to take off their heavy armor and let Sang Luoluo keep it.
Sang Ping led his men in first, carrying lanterns, followed by Sang Luoluo, and then Qi Feng and He Fei.
The terrain here is uneven. Judging from the condition of the cave, this is probably a natural cave formed after the terrain changed following the abandonment of the land.
Every few steps, Sang Ping would use a radiation detector to check the radiation levels in the area.
"Beep beep beep, low radiation zone."
"Beep beep beep, low radiation zone."
"Beep beep beep, low radiation zone."
There was very little signal inside. At first, I could still send messages to Chang Mingyao, but the further I went in, the less signal I received.
Strangely, the Farm App was still usable, so Sang Ping simply used the Farm App's private messaging function to report the situation to Chang Mingyao, but he used special code that required translation to understand.
Otherwise, in many situations where their base cannot transmit messages, they are forced to use the Farm App. Wouldn't that expose all their information to the Farm Owner? What if they sell their base's crucial information to other bases?
