Chapter 499 Green Uniform...
Lu Xici said sincerely, "Captain Duan, we really don't need these things... You saved my family, and then came to help us late at night. Consider it making friends!"
Sang Xu, Sang Che, and Sang Yan nodded in unison...
Sang Xu said firmly, "Captain Duan, please accept it."
Seeing the sincere looks in everyone's eyes, Duan Yi finally stopped refusing: "Alright, then I'll shamelessly accept it."
He shook his head with a sigh: "No wonder everyone in the bases says, 'Any ability user who doesn't want to go to Flameheart isn't a good ability user.' Flameheart really is rich and powerful!"
This remark made everyone laugh...
Taking the opportunity, Li Gen interjected, "Captain Duan, could we visit Flameheart more often in the future?"
"You talk too much!" Duan Yi said with a laugh, but he couldn't hide the amusement in his eyes.
On the watchtower at the gate of Flameheart Base...
Lu Nange, along with Lu Beiye, Luo Xingyou, Gu Wan, and others, were clearing away the zombies attracted by the battle and the convoy.
Although these low-level zombies posed little threat, their numbers were considerable, and they lingered around the outer perimeter of the Flameheart Base's shield.
Lu Nange manipulated the tornadoes to harvest hordes of zombies...
With a wave of his hand, Lu Beiye sent golden threads piercing the heads of seven or eight zombies. Despite not having slept all night, the little guy was still full of energy.
Luo Xingyou, wielding the golden blade, was equally formidable; with a single swing, several zombies fell to the ground...
Gu Wan's fireballs lit up one after another in the distance, clearing away the horde of corpses.
Gangzi hovered in the air, occasionally swooping down, its sharp claws easily tearing apart any fish that slipped through the net.
However, its primary task is to manipulate ice-based abilities to extinguish any potential accidents caused by Gu Wan's fireballs...
Zhizhi busily manipulated the vines as they darted through the trees, the tiny vines extracting crystal cores one by one.
The group worked in perfect harmony, clearing the area around the watchtower and the steps on the wall.
As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds, the low-level zombies were finally wiped out.
Zhizhi and Gangzi had neatly piled the zombie corpses in several open spaces, like small hills.
Sunlight bathed the earth, casting a golden glow on the Flameheart Base, which had been battered all night...
The superhumans from various bases who came to provide support all stood up to say goodbye, and the area outside the Flameheart gate suddenly became lively.
"Miss Lu, please feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future!" Wang Xi from the Sharp Blade Base said with a fist and palm salute, his handsome face showing sincerity.
"Sister Xi, we Yanxin will remember your kindness..." Lu Nange replied solemnly.
Pepper skipped over, "Idol, why don't I just stay?"
Lu Nange: "I have no objection, but are you willing to leave?"
Jin Xiao approached with his Starry Sky men: "Miss Lu, since you've accepted Pepper, why not also incorporate Starry Sky into your organization?"
Gu Wan immediately interjected, "Of course..."
He made a big X with his arms: "No!"
Jin Xiao: "Another day of rejection!"
Lin Shuang stepped forward: "Then we'll be leaving now, Miss Lu!"
Lu Nange nodded in greeting...
Chi Yanzhou turned to Si Sheng: "Thank you!"
Si Sheng was somewhat flattered: "It's...it's...yes, Brother Yan, no need, no need to thank me!"
Gu Wan looked at Si Sheng: "As a base commander, can you please stop being so hesitant and awkward when you talk to us?"
Although we don't need your help, thank you anyway. Let's just forget about you trying to kill me when we were kids!
......
Before leaving, Duan Yi specifically sought out Sang Xu and whispered, "Sang Xu, if Li Gen and the others come looking for you in the future, please help them out!"
Sang Xu: "Has something happened at the base?"
Duan Yi: "It's just that their methods are getting increasingly unscrupulous, so we're taking precautions just in case."
Sang Xu: "Could you stay?"
Duan Yi shook his head firmly and patted Sang Xu on the shoulder: "I have to go back."
Sang Xu, everyone has their own mission, something they need to protect. Promise me... if I die, I'm counting on the rest of our team!
Sang Xu nodded: "Okay, I promise you!"
......
Lu Nange and the others saw them off one by one until the last convoy disappeared into the morning mist.
Zhang Ao and his logistics team arrived on time to take over and began burning the zombie corpses.
Thick smoke rose, carrying a pungent odor, yet it also symbolized a new beginning...
When they returned to the villa, everyone was exhausted.
After a quick breakfast and washing up, everyone gathered in the living room to distribute the crystal cores.
Two level-eight crystal cores—one wind-type and one ice-type.
Six level-seven crystal cores: two lightning-type, one ice-type, one mental-type, one metal-type, and one fire-type...
Lu Nange stared at the crystal cores: [The overlap rate between lightning and ice elemental types is so high? And it seems that among high-level abilities, there are more ice, lightning, and wind zombies?]
Fortunately, there are plenty of level six crystal cores, available in all systems...
After allocating the shares to the core members, Lu Nange distributed the remaining crystal cores to the other ability users in the base.
Everyone took their assigned crystal cores and returned to their respective rooms to begin upgrading.
Lu Nange stood alone by the window, gazing into the distance, a strong sense of unease rising within her.
She had a premonition that time was running out.
The enemy's counterattack will only become more and more intense, so we must seize every minute and second to improve our strength.
Just as Flameheart and her companions were focusing all their efforts on improving their strength, the atmosphere in a hidden base several kilometers away was so tense it could drip water...
In the room filled with surveillance footage, several men in green uniforms stood bowed, barely daring to breathe.
Before them, a man in silk pajamas leaned lazily against the sofa, fiddling with a device that resembled a remote control...
"Yu Ren is dead? All the men he led out were wiped out?" The man's voice was soft, but it sent a chill down everyone's spine.
"Yes, yes, boss! Subjects 8 and 9 didn't come back either," a man in green answered, trembling.
"Useless!" The man sat bolt upright. "You couldn't even kill a bunch of ants!"
Another man in green, mustering his courage, stepped forward: "Boss, how about I take some men and go again? This time, we'll definitely..."
"Even an eighth-level experimental subject perished there, what use are you guys? Get out!"
"Yes!" The man in green bowed and retreated...
The man on the sofa got up and paced back and forth: "They're clearly the same ants as the previous two times, so what's wrong with them?"
He walked to the largest monitoring screen, which showed a distant view of the Flameheart Base.
The sun had fully risen, bathing the base in gold, but this beautiful sight only made his eyes appear more sinister.
"Where exactly are they hiding?...Looks like I'll have to give it a try." A smile suddenly appeared on the man's lips: "I'd like to see how long these ants can keep jumping around..."
Outside the window, the sun shines brightly, but shadows are quietly spreading. A greater storm is brewing...
