The rain was still falling, so the next batch of spores could be released while it was still raining. These mutated mushroom spores had extremely strong survival abilities, and with the help of the Spirit Spring Water, they grew even faster. Some of them were even growing slowly during the day.
Everyone's too busy to stay still.
Sang Luoluo has finished packing and it's time to return to base.
Take out the aircraft and head back to base.
As for Chang Mingyao, he doesn't plan to go back for the time being. He needs to get firsthand information on the cultivation of mutated mushrooms, because experiencing it firsthand is different from seeing it in the office.
After delivering the mutated mushrooms, Sang Luoluo ate something and rested briefly with Qi Feng and the others at the warehouse entrance before rushing back to the wilderness. Besides the mutated mushrooms, she also needed to collect the newly harvested mutated cucumbers.
They sent people over there, and they've already harvested all the edible parts of the mutated cucumbers in that area.
The newly discovered mutated cucumber forest is located in a special area that receives very little sunlight, yet the mutated cucumbers grow exceptionally well. The research institute at the base has proposed transforming that area into an experimental mutated cucumber cultivation base.
We selected mutant cucumber plants with low radiation levels and then irrigated them with mineral water produced by the Farm App. This was a good opportunity to test how much of the mutant cucumbers grown this way was edible.
Sang Luoluo felt it was also worth experimenting with and even cast a vote at the high-level meeting.
As for the two base commanders, I completely agree.
Sang Luoluo rushed over and put all the packaged bags into her space, along with the low-radiation plants that had been isolated separately. Some people were left here to clean up the area.
Sang Luoluo only needs to take these things back. As for the mutated cucumber vines, they can be dried and used as firewood.
I returned to the base fully loaded, put my things down, and quickly caught up on some sleep.
We still need to hurry to the mutated mushroom forest when it's almost dawn.
Qi Feng arranged Sang Luoluo's rest time, and Qi Xue and the others lent a hand while working nearby, taking turns to rest.
We set off again, braving the moderate rain.
Upon arrival, the mutated mushrooms were already packed up; the rainproof packaging was very useful. Sang Luoluo scanned them with her Mental Power and pulled them all into her spatial storage.
The rain intensified, Chang Mingyao showed no intention of leaving, insisting on staying on the front lines of planting. Sang Luoluo could continue delivering goods without worrying about him.
For the next month, with its rainy weather, she had to deliver goods every day.
Over the course of a month, the stock of mutated mushroom canned goods in the base's warehouse increased several times over, and various flavors of canned goods were produced.
Sang Tong arranged everything very well at the base, handling everything in an orderly manner.
After a busy month, the rain stopped, and the hottest time of the year began. I didn't want to go out during the day at all; the temperature was so high it could kill you.
This summer's temperatures have been exceptionally high.
Chapter 327 Inviting someone to join the environment is this cruel.
It's unbearable to stay outside without protective clothing; it's just that hot.
Sang Luoluo had no choice but to stay in the villa and not go out.
Although the air conditioner at home can keep the indoor temperature at around 28 degrees Celsius, it still feels hot, so she can only take out the ice cubes she stored up in winter.
Not only that, but ice is always kept on hand for food and other necessities. It feels very comfortable to have an iced drink during breaks. If there are too many iced drinks, Sang Luoluo will put them in the Stasis Zone of the space.
Now we need to wear protective suits when going out. It's already hot on this day, and although the protective suits themselves have heat insulation properties and can keep the inside cool, it still feels stuffy after wearing them all day.
Sang Luoluo also doesn't like going out during the day, so she's shifting her tasks to the evening as much as possible.
Many tasks at the base have also been moved to the evenings.
Sang Luoluo can take a month off now.
Sang Luoluo was very happy and planned to train at home for a month, and also find some time to absorb Crystal Core.
However, after staying at home for less than ten days, that guy from Li Cheng contacted her, wanting to purchase a batch of medicines and food from the base, and as usual, exchange them for Crystal Core.
This time we need even more mineral water bottles, 200,000 of them.
Sang Luoluo contacted the base manager directly to have them confirm the details of the transaction.
Once the supplies are ready, she can begin delivery.
It will also take some time for the warehouse to prepare.
Around midnight, once everything was ready at the warehouse, Sang Luoluo, fully armed, went to the base warehouse to meet up with the Guard.
For Sang Luoluo's safety, the base sent Guard to accompany her. If a war were to break out with the free forces, Sang Luoluo's strength, combined with the Guard she led, would be fully capable of putting up a fight.
This time, Li Cheng gave them a new location, Sang Luoluo flew over there in her aircraft.
After landing, the Crystal Core were transferred to Chang Mingyao via the Farm App from the Li Cheng side.
This time, Li Cheng has a new request. " Sang Luoluo, this time I need you to deliver the supplies closer to me. It's too hot Tiantian, and if the supplies are left too far away, it's too difficult for my men to transport them during the day. Also, they're easily attacked by mutated birds in the wild, so I have no other choice."
Sang Luoluo smiled and said, "Sure, as long as you don't mind me entering your territory."
Li Cheng shook his head and looked at the people behind Sang Luoluo. He really didn't want them to follow.
Sang Luoluo explained, "These people are the guards assigned to me by the base. As you know, the transaction between our two sides involves a huge sum of money, and it's in the wild, so it's only right to bring enough manpower."
Li Cheng hesitated for a moment, then came up with a workaround. "This way, they can come along too, but they'll have to wait outside when we get there. You unload quickly, so you'll be out in about twenty minutes. How about that?"
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo hesitated for a moment. "Okay, but I need to report this to my superiors. Also, I need to bring my personal guard."
Sang Luoluo only brought Qi Feng with her; as for Lei Qi and the others, Sang Luoluo had placed them in her spatial storage beforehand.
One should not harbor thoughts of harming others, but one must always be wary of others.
She had never seen where the liberal forces lived and was very wary of them.
Li Cheng nodded. "Follow me."
After traveling for a long time in the darkness, they finally arrived at the residential area of the free forces. They lived in a cave area, which provided some shade. The caves had been modified, equipped with electrical appliances, and divided into simple rooms, all of which were filled with people.
The elderly, the infirm, the disabled, and pregnant women—many people in total.
There were many children and disabled people.
Many people had been fitted with robotic arms. Sang Luoluo recognized them; they were produced by Base No. 32, and were probably the ones closest to the Li Cheng that had been exchanged with the base. Further in, there were some patients.
As for the healthy ones, they either went out to find food or were sent on other missions.
Well, it's not what Sang Luoluo expected.
Qi Feng, who was standing next to him, was also somewhat moved.
Li Cheng saw pity in Sang Luoluo's eyes and said with a smile, "You didn't expect that, did you? We only have so few people, and not many who can actually help. A bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled."
If it weren't for a stroke of luck when he obtained a batch of Crystal Core and successfully purchased supplies from the Farm Owner, these people would have starved to death long ago.
The supplies available for purchase won't last long at all.
There are so many people here, all abandoned by various bases. Some have survived the natural disaster with their families, while others have been seriously injured, missing limbs, and can no longer return to the base. The base does not accept useless people; those who cannot create value can only be abandoned.
Sang Luoluo didn't know how to describe this feeling; in the wasteland world, it was just too difficult to survive.
Some people divide a single bag of nutrient solution into several meals.
Sang Luoluo suddenly asked in a low voice, " Li Cheng, have you ever thought about bringing these people to join Base No. 32?"
Li Cheng scoffed, "Join the base? These people are all abandoned by the base. They only formed a free force by coming together. They've finally managed to support themselves, why would they want to join a base? Your kind of base is so big and powerful, it's not like we can just join whenever we want."
Sang Luoluo pursed her lips and didn't continue the topic, "Where should I put it?"
"This is an open space. Put the medicine in these refrigerators, the nutrient solution here, and the food in this open space. Put the wood outside. Come with me."
Sang Luoluo placed the items according to Li Cheng's instructions, without needing anyone else to help.
After all the supplies were placed, Li Cheng said with envy, "Your ability is really strange, I'm so envious. Can you help me if I need it in the future? I can pay you extra Crystal Core. It'll be your separate income, not for your base."
Sang Luoluo smiled and said, "It depends. I also have a lot of tasks to do here."
I'm leaving.
Li Cheng and saw them off.
Sang Luoluo didn't say much, and with her Guard, she boarded a flying vehicle and returned to base.
I can still get back before dawn.
Upon returning to the base, Sang Luoluo did not go straight back, but went directly to the base commander.
Clearly, Chang Mingyao and Sang Tong were also waiting for her to return, to see what information she had gathered.
"Tell me. How's the situation on the Free Forces' side?" Chang Mingyao asked.
Sang Luoluo paused for a moment, then continued, "There are many elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people, and not many young and strong laborers. Many people are struggling to make ends meet. The medicines that Li Cheng bought from our base are mainly for the sick and weak elderly, as well as those who have been seriously injured."
"I asked him if he wanted to join our base, and he said those people were abandoned by the base and then gathered together to form a free force. He felt that our base wouldn't accept them, these old, weak, sick, and disabled people."
