Chapter 488 Highest Alert Status!
From the moment Lu Nange and her group returned to the base, the Flameheart Base was like a frightened hedgehog, instantly entering a state of maximum alert.
The gates were locked, and all survivors were temporarily prohibited from leaving.
The number of guards at the Flameheart Gate has doubled, and they are all fully armed.
Even more outrageous are the sentry posts surrounding the base—originally each sentry post had only three patrol personnel on duty, but now there are ten people on duty, and even the shift changes are staggered to ensure that someone is always on high alert.
"As soon as Captain Chi and the others came back, they arranged this kind of setup. Is our base about to go to war?" The guard on duty couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
"What do you know, kid? I heard that Captain Chi and his team wiped out that menace's den of iniquity, Rock, this time..."
Perhaps they were afraid that some might slip through the net and report back, so they were making extra preparations just in case.
"If you ask me, you can rest assured. With Flameheart opening its market, who's going to cause us trouble? That would be going against all the survivors..."
After all, without our base to exchange supplies, we might all starve to death! Besides, with Flameheart and the Twelve Ancestors around, what are we afraid of!
"Old Zhang, what you mean is..."
"What I mean is, we should do whatever Captain Chi and the others say, and do it to the best of our ability! But we don't need to guess wildly or be on edge."
Even if someone does come, we don't need to panic—after all, those twelve little devils are no pushovers!
......
Meanwhile, inside the Lu family villa, all was peaceful.
After finishing their late-night snack last night, Lu Nange and Shi Xu found nothing unusual around the mental energy detection base, and everyone slept soundly, a rare treat...
As the morning sunlight streamed into the room through the window, Lu Nange stretched and stepped out of the room, taking a deep breath of the air filled with the fragrance of trees, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
"Good morning, Nan Nan!" Gu Wan was doing stretching in the yard when she saw Lu Nange come out, and she immediately showed a bright smile.
"Good morning. Sister Wanwan..."
"Nan Nan, the mastermind hasn't made a move yet... What's our plan for today?"
"Today's project is huge."
"Sister, what big project is it?" Chi Yanzhou, Lu Xici and the others walked in from outside the courtyard gate, He Zhuo's voice preceding his arrival.
Lu Nange: "The other side has been behaving themselves all day, not making a move... I reckon trouble is coming soon. We need to make some more preparations."
Chi Yanzhou: "A day and a night should be enough to arrange it, at the latest tonight?"
He Zhuo: "If they really dare to come, I'll show them why the flowers are so red!"
Just then, Luo Xingyou, wearing an apron, poked her head out of the kitchen: "Everyone's up? Perfect timing, breakfast's ready! Go call Grandpa Chi and the others for dinner!"
As the elders of the family arrived one after another, the group sat around the long table in a lively atmosphere...
After breakfast, Grandpa Chi wiped his mouth with a tissue and glanced at the young people present: "So, what are your plans?"
Chi Yanzhou stood up: "Grandpa, Grandpa Shi, elders, when we took down the rock this time, we discovered that there was another force controlling it from behind."
We suspect they might come looking for trouble, so we hope you can also take this time to improve your capabilities.
Lu Nange took out a mountain of crystal cores from her spatial storage. Some of these crystal cores were collected from the rock, while others were harvested from the Flameheart Market during this period.
Chi Yanzhou: "Grandpa, Nannan will distribute crystal cores according to your ability levels."
Today, you all stay home and focus on improving your ability levels. We will handle all other matters at the base.
Grandpa Chi: "We'll listen to you!"
The old man stood up with renewed vigor: "Come on, old friends, let's go to Nan Nan's place and line up to get our crystal cores!"
After the elders received the crystal cores and returned to their rooms, Chi Yanzhou had Chi Yi and the others notify the remaining forty-seven ability users who had gone to the rock with them.
In just over ten minutes, the team members, led by Chi Qi, lined up neatly outside the gate of the Lu family villa.
Chi Yanzhou: "It might be today, it might be tomorrow... We have a tough battle to fight!"
For the sake of our shared home, you need to hurry up and improve...strive for even higher levels of supernatural abilities!
"We will protect Flameheart to the death!" the team members responded in unison!
Lu Nange: "Very good. Now, line up... to collect your crystal cores. After you've collected your crystal cores, hurry back and sprint!"
"yes!"
Sang Che and Sang Yan had already completed their breakthroughs ahead of schedule, and stood beside Lu Nange and the others.
He Huaijing, Xie Linlin, and others were assigned to guard various parts of the base... Only then did they receive their upgrade cores.
After the team members left, only some low-level crystal cores remained in the courtyard...
Chi Yanzhou looked at Lu Nange: "Nannan, let's go to the military area to make some more arrangements."
Lu Nange put away the crystal core and took out a silver metal box with the "Youyou" logo printed on it.
The enclosure gleamed with a cool light in the sunlight, giving it an exceptionally refined appearance...
"Brother Yan, this is a network server." She opened the box, revealing neatly arranged interfaces and indicator lights inside: "With this, the monitoring system should be able to cover the entire base."
Chi Yanzhou took the box, which felt quite heavy: "No problem... Our base has experts in electricity and networks!"
I'll take Ci Ge, Lao Gu, Lao Shi... with me, and while we're at it, we'll reinforce and inspect all the power grids around the base.
"Okay, then Ah Ye, Sister Wen Qing, Sister Gu Wan, Sister Xing You, and I... will go patrol the sentry post." Lu Nange naturally continued, "To replenish the sentry post with some heavy weapons."
He Zhuo finally couldn't resist jumping between the two: "Yan-ge, Mei-bao, what about me?"
Lu Nange: "You, Xian-ge, and Chi-yi-ge all have to come with me... While we're patrolling the sentry posts, we also need to check which areas need reinforcement and repair, and then we'll reinforce them with metal and earth elements!"
"Understood!" He Zhuo immediately straightened his back and winked at Ji Xian and Chi Yi.
As the sun rose higher, the base was a hive of activity, entering a state of combat readiness...
Chi Yanzhou led his technicians to various parts of the base, setting up monitoring equipment and reinforcing the power grid.
"We need to add another camera here," Chi Yanzhou said, pointing to the shadows on the warehouse roof. "To ensure there are no blind spots."
On the other side, Lu Nange and her group began their inspection of the sentry posts one by one, starting from the main gate.
Wherever she went, she would take out heavy weapons from her spatial storage and add them to the watchtowers. In addition to the weapons, each watchtower was also equipped with three searchlights.
Chi Yi led the ability users on the watchtower to adjust the angles to ensure clear visibility at night.
Lu Nange also asked Lu Beiye, Luo Xingyou, He Zhuo, and Ji Xian to add steps to the wall between the sentry posts.
The walls were decorated with staggered metal, earth, and staircases, allowing the Flameheart ability users to quickly seize high ground should an enemy attack occur.
The midday sun shone brightly on the cement platform of the sentry post, making it quite hot.
Lu Nange and her group stood on the last and highest watchtower in the base, from which they could overlook the entire Flameheart Base.
The neat houses, the crisscrossing roads, and the busy figures in the distance were all enveloped in a sense of tranquility.
He Zhuo wiped the sweat that was sliding down his cheeks and patted the newly reinforced wall with a smug look.
"If anyone dares to come tonight, let them see what an impregnable fortress looks like!"
Gu Wan was adjusting the newly installed heavy machine gun when she heard this. Without turning her head, she replied with a hint of ruthlessness in her voice.
"If anyone dares to come, shoot them all into sieves!"
