Sang Luoluo paused for a moment, then nodded. "Pretty much. In case something goes wrong, I have a way to ensure everyone's safety."
It can be resolved, but there are too many mutated animals attacking them continuously. Even if they can cope for a while, they can't keep going indefinitely.
Furthermore, Li Cheng hasn't joined their base yet and isn't someone they trust that much, so Sang Luoluo felt it was best to keep him from knowing that her space allowed people to enter.
He then said, " Li Cheng, where are your things? Take advantage of this time and quickly pack up and prepare to leave; we can't hold out much longer."
Li Cheng quickly helped Wang Jian jump down from the tree and said, "Our supplies are all here, and there's another batch of supplies a little further away, but a few vehicles have broken down and can't be driven. Take a look..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sang Luoluo pulled all the useful supplies within her sight into her spatial dimension.
Looking at everything around him that had vanished, Li Cheng couldn't help but show surprise, but after seeing it a few times, he gradually became able to accept it.
Sang Luoluo asked, "Tell me what else is there, and then take everyone and leave immediately."
Li Cheng said, "Follow me."
He then said to Wang Jian, "Call the brothers together and prepare to retreat with them."
Wang Jian quickly agreed and went to get it done.
Sang Luoluo didn't hesitate either. She used her Mental Power to set up nearly thirty Crystal Core and aimed them at the depths of the dense forest. In the distance, more mutated animals were approaching.
They are very large and numerous.
Mixed in with mutated rats, mutated grasshoppers, mantises, and many other species, they chase each other.
"Withdraw. A lot of mutated animals are coming." Sang Jia quickly gave the order. The instruments they were carrying were already covered with red dots, and they were heading in their direction.
Everyone retreated together. It wasn't safe for the aircraft to hover in the air like that; there were many mutated birds gathered on it.
Sang Jia continued, "The aircraft should land outside the forest."
The aircraft immediately moved to the nearest open space to wait for them.
Sang Luoluo, who was covering the rear and was close to the Li Cheng, spoke about the supplies they had found, "Miss Sang, we worked hard to find all this timber and other materials. Could you help us bring them back?"
Is that all?
After saying that, Sang Luoluo waved her hand and collected all the supplies she had just pointed out nearby.
"Also, there are still quite a few supplies on the way back. Our men worked all day, thinking they'd pack them up little by little when they returned."
Towards the end, Li Cheng became somewhat embarrassed.
Fortunately, their retreat route was also here, and Sang Luoluo's Mental Power covered a great distance, directly storing everything she could see into her spatial storage. "Leave it to me, let's get out of here quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sang Luoluo didn't stop firing at the newly surging horde of mutated animals. Her Crystal Core was firing at full power, and she aimed accurately. If one shot wasn't enough to kill them, she would fire several more shots to cover them completely.
Occasionally, a few fish would slip through the net, but Sang Luoluo would simply use her Mental Power to pull them into the space and let the Chuanchuan inside deal with them.
Sang Luoluo tried her best to keep her teammates and colleagues away from the mutated animals, so she always kept her mind focused.
Fighting and retreating at the same time, Sang Luoluo didn't forget to collect the corpses of the mutated animals. There were always some parts on these mutated animals that could be taken back and used, and some even had Crystal Core, so she picked up as much as she could.
They successfully made their way out of the woods, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, many more mutated animals still emerged from behind.
Sang Luoluo reminded Sang Jia, "Take them onto the aircraft first; we'll handle these mutated animals."
Without hesitation, Sang Jia immediately organized people to evacuate to the aircraft.
Although Li Cheng wanted to stay, Sang Jia persuaded him not to, saying, "Don't hold us back."
Once the mutated animals left the forest, Sang Luoluo directly pulled them into her Mental Power control range. After confirming that everyone was on the aircraft, she took Qi Feng and the others into the air, using her Mental Power to lift them up into the aircraft.
This scene completely stunned Li Cheng and his group.
At this moment, mutated birds also attacked from the sky. The Crystal Core on the aircraft could suppress some of them, and Sang Luoluo's Mental Power could also capture some of them.
Let the other aircraft go first, and let Sang Luoluo's aircraft go behind. The mutated birds that come from behind can't get past this mutated animal at all.
Qi Feng and she worked together seamlessly, taking the initiative to fire at the mutated birds chasing behind them, attracting them from all angles and causing them to concentrate their attack on their aircraft.
Sang Jia was also on the aircraft, assisting with command, but after a series of operations, he found that he didn't need to do anything at all.
Li Cheng reporting the address from the aircraft, Sang Jia directed the aircraft to head towards the destination.
It should take about twenty minutes.
In fact, the aircraft was extremely fast and encountered no problems along the way, arriving five minutes ahead of schedule.
The aircraft landed.
Base Commander Chang Mingyao gave Sang Luoluo a wink.
Sang Luoluo and he walked together towards the Li Cheng.
Sang Luoluo spoke directly, "Um..."
Li Cheng assumed she wanted to ask about the Crystal Core reward, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word about the Crystal Core I promised you. I'll need your help to come with us and bring the supplies back."
Sang Luoluo smiled and said, "No problem, I'll go with you."
Li Cheng opened his mouth, thinking about how to contact Sang Luoluo for the next transaction. Having witnessed Sang Luoluo's incredible and convenient abilities, he remembered the Luoluo. Even if all the vehicles went out together, they couldn't bring back many supplies.
It's troublesome and time-consuming. Sometimes, if you're unlucky, you might encounter attacks from mutated animals, and all the supplies you've collected will be lost, and your brothers will get injured in the process. If they collect the supplies in advance, Sang Luoluo helps them transport them, they can exchange a few more Crystal Core for the safety of their brothers, which is quite worthwhile.
But he could also see that Sang Luoluo was not only capable but also one of the base's high-ranking members. Why would she help him? If he asked and was rejected, wouldn't he be even more easily manipulated by Base No. 32?
After thinking it over, Chang Mingyao spoke first, directly stating his purpose for coming. "Captain Li Cheng, have you ever considered bringing your free forces to join our Base No. 32?"
Li Cheng was stunned, clearly not expecting him to take the initiative to invite him.
How did their free forces come about? Their brothers were all unable to survive in the large bases, and their families were on the verge of collapse. That's how they slowly gathered in the wild and formed their free forces.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. They must have ulterior motives." Li Cheng's gaze turned colder as he looked at them. "Join? What are the conditions?"
Chang Mingyao chuckled and said, "Of course there are conditions. Why don't we sit down and discuss it?"
Li Cheng glanced at Sang Luoluo, wary of her abilities, and could only say, "Come with me."
Chang Mingyao instructed Sang Jia to lead a group of men to guard the vicinity in case of emergencies, while Qi Feng and the others went along.
Knowing the strength of the people around Sang Luoluo, Chang Mingyao felt quite at ease.
Just like last time, Sang Luoluo first went with Li Cheng to walk around and put all the supplies down.
Only then did he return and, together with Chang Mingyao, go to their residence Li Cheng for a proper talk.
Private residences Li Cheng tend to be more spacious and have designated areas for receiving guests.
He gestured to Wang Jian, Wang Jian immediately went to make tea.
Sang Luoluo tasted it immediately after taking a sip; it was Longjing tea produced in her space.
This guy bought a lot; I don't know where all those Crystal Core came from.
Li Cheng gulped down a cup of tea before speaking, "Now you can begin."
Chang Mingyao said earnestly, "I've discussed it with Base Chief Sang, and we genuinely want to invite you to join the base. We hope you'll consider it."
Li Cheng wasn't stupid; there's no such thing as a free lunch. He continued, "What are the conditions? Make them clear."
Chang Mingyao and Sang Luoluo exchanged a glance, then leaned back comfortably in their chairs and said in a deep voice, "Our base needs Crystal Core, and we also need the Farm App you have to purchase resources."
"You know, right now the Farm Owner only works with two major clients: one is our Base No. 32, and the other is you."
"While your independent forces can cooperate with Farm Owner to purchase supplies, feeding so many people isn't easy. Joining our base will at least ensure everyone here has food and adequate medical care. We've also reserved a high-ranking position for you."
Chapter 330 See you in three days after settling in.
Seeing Li Cheng remain silent, seemingly weighing the pros and cons of joining Base No. 32, Chang Mingyao continued to urge him, "The recent frequent natural disasters seem endless, and it's getting harder and harder to survive in the wild. Look at how many large bases have been destroyed. Do you think it's better for you free agents to wander around outside, or to join a base and work together to share resources?"
Li Cheng glanced at Sang Luoluo and saw the expectation in her eyes. While admiring her ability, he was also pondering the pros and cons of this matter.
He then asked, "What are the conditions for me joining the base? Besides the Crystal Core and the resources I can purchase through the Farm App, what about all these elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people here? How will you arrange things for them? Base Chief Chang, you need to give me a concrete plan."
