The next morning, a team of superhumans, dressed in full regalia and clad in level-five black armor, appeared at the base, attracting countless eyes along the way.

The neat protective gear was indeed eye-catching, and the group's overall demeanor was also very pleasing to the eye.

but……

What truly attracts attention is the team's somewhat abstract configuration.

"Wait, is this team going on a mission? Why are there kids in there?"

"And that fat guy, wow, I've never seen anyone so fat in the wasteland. Would he even be able to run away if we were to fight?"

Listening to the comments from passersby, Xiao Mao subtly sucked in his stomach, trying to make himself look thinner.

Qingluan, on the other hand, used her overly long trousers to cover herself up and casually stood on tiptoe, trying to make herself appear taller.

Fang Qingdai, unaware of their inner thoughts, asked curiously, "What's wrong with you two?"

"Xiao Mao, are your clothes too tight? And Qing Luan, are your clothes too big?"

These two had already put Fang Qingdai in a difficult position when it came to distributing protective gear earlier.

One of them was too fat. There are few fat people in the wasteland. Even the largest size protective suit was a bit tight on Xiao Mao. In order to get him to put it on successfully, Xuan Liu and Xuan Ba ​​both helped. They pulled and tugged until he succeeded!

Qingluan was too small, so the protective suit had to be altered several times before she could barely fit into it.

This is all thanks to Huang Changming, who looks arrogant but actually knows needlework!

It was his intervention and modification that ensured Qingluan wouldn't be without protective gear.

Upon hearing Fang Qingdai's question, both of them shook their heads nonchalantly: "It's nothing, sis!"

Anyway, I'm definitely not going to take off this protective suit; it's too prestigious to wear!

Fang Qingdai shrugged, didn't ask any more questions, and led everyone to the mission hall.

They could accept missions using their wristbands, but they had accepted a delivery mission and needed to come and collect the supplies to be delivered.

The supplies were packed in several alloy boxes equipped with high-level biometric locks that required specific individuals to unlock them using both fingerprints and iris scans.

Fang Qingdai and the others weren't curious about what was inside. After checking the supplies, she waved her hand and put them into her spatial storage.

"Wow! A space-type ability user!"

"She's that level-five ability user who's been making headlines lately! Is this her team? They look... so rich!"

"Yeah, yeah, their setup is amazing! It's just... well... the team members are a bit... uh..."

Ignoring the discussions of the crowd, Fang Qingdai, having made a small show of herself and gained some fame for the team, led everyone directly out of the base.

After leaving the base, she waved her hand and took out two sand trucks.

The shantytown was densely populated, and their well-equipped team attracted the attention of countless eyes as soon as they left the base.

At this moment, she showed off her skills again. Since the information did not circulate within the base, many people who were unaware that a space-type ability user had emerged from the Xuanwu Base were stunned by this move.

"A miracle?!"

"Are they from Zhang Chengjie's team?"

Someone recognized Fang Qingdai and Qingluan, and the crowd erupted in commotion.

Zhang Chengjie squeezed through the crowd, jogged up to Fang Qingdai and the others, and asked with a warm smile, "Are you going on a mission today?"

Fang Qingdai smiled and said, "Yes, is Boss Zhang also going on a mission?"

Zhang Chengjie brought a few team members, and it seemed they were also preparing to leave the base, so Fang Qingdai asked them a question.

"Yes, I accepted a C-level mission," Zhang Chengjie explained, adding, "Be careful, and I hope you return victorious!"

After a brief chat, Fang Qingdai only realized what was happening when Zhang Chengjie led his men away amidst countless envious, jealous, and fearful glances.

He deliberately came over to greet everyone in full view of them, so that others would know that he was close to this well-equipped team of superhumans, thereby increasing his prestige in the shantytown!

Fang Qingdai was both amused and exasperated when she realized what had happened. It turned out that she had unknowingly become someone else's sugar daddy.

Fang Qingdai glanced at the crowd and saw Tian Pingwei and his group, who were angry but guilty, as well as Wang Fang's family, who looked extremely disheveled, resentful and fearful. She felt inexplicably satisfied!

Striving to climb higher is not only for a better life, but also to show off in front of former enemies. That feeling is simply exhilarating!

She cheerfully led everyone away from the base and sped off towards the mission objective.

"The Xuanwu No. 4 base is in the southwest. On the way to the Xuanwu No. 4 base, we will pass through an area where sandworms are found. We will stop there, complete the sandworm capture mission, and then continue our journey."

"After delivering the supplies, we will travel about 30 kilometers north from Xuanwu No. 4 outpost. There is an area where desert cats are active, and we can do the third mission there."

Xiao Mao flipped through his bracelet and reported to Fang Qingdai the route and schedule he had compiled the night before.

Fang Qingdai thought his arrangement was very reasonable, so she immediately sent the task schedule to the group and then took the lead in driving the sand truck towards the southwest.

As noon approached, the group finally arrived at the area where sandworms were found.

After everyone got off the car, Xuan Liu and Xuan Ba ​​immediately and carefully patrolled the surrounding area before returning to report: "No obvious danger was found in the vicinity."

In other words, there is at least no large-scale mutated biological activity, but whether there are any dangers hidden under the sand is uncertain.

Fang Qingdai nodded and took out a nutrient solution and a water pouch from her spatial storage: "Take a quick rest and replenish your energy."

She had been observing closely and was quite satisfied to see that Xuan Liu and Xuan Ba ​​remained vigilant throughout.

These two had experienced many battles and were highly vigilant. Even after Fang Qingdai gave the order to rest, they were still able to maintain the necessary alertness, which made up for the team's relatively loose structure.

They are indeed two very useful helpers.

After replenishing her energy, Fang Qingdai took out several special jars and distributed them to everyone.

"These are alloy cans that Xiao Mao got last night. They can prevent sandworms from escaping. The cost of these cans will be deducted from the mission reward later!"

Xiao Mao waved his hand as if to say no, but Fang Qingdai glared at him and stopped him.

Then she pulled out an even smaller jar, which contained a dark liquid.

"Hey, this is an attractant I got through connections. It's very attractive to mutated creatures. Share it with everyone and use it as bait to attract sandworms."

It's actually just mixed water from the space!

Zhang Chengjie and his group didn't have much access to information about the base, so they wouldn't have much suspicion about the water bait.

But these people are different. Huang Changming and Xiao Mao are both knowledgeable because of their birth, and Xuan Liu and Xuan Ba ​​come from the center of power. They are not easy to fool, and they cannot be directly told about the origin of the spatial water source.

但混合过看不出原样的黑黢黢水，他们就算好奇，也只会往引诱剂方向调查，不会直接怀疑到水源头上。
