On the other side, Sang Xu and members of the Longteng team got on the returning modified truck.
The vehicle started, and the psychic who was driving spoke seemingly casually, but his tone was filled with subtle temptation.
"Captain Sang, you spent quite a bit of time in there just now. Did the purchasing negotiations go poorly?"
Sang Xu leaned back in the passenger seat, closed his eyes and rested. He didn't even raise his eyelids when he heard the words, and his voice was cold.
"Dong Fanglai, although we are not in the same team, I am still your superior in terms of rank. It is not your turn to question me!"
Dong Fanglai tightened his grip on the steering wheel and forced a smile on his face.
"Captain Sang, please don't misunderstand me. I wouldn't dare. It's just that... you're only here temporarily to replace Captain Peng on this mission.
Captain Peng specifically told me to protect your safety.
You've been in there for so long, I'm worried. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain to Captain Peng when I get back."
Sang Xu sneered and opened his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Dong Fanglai's profile with undisguised sarcasm.
"What? Are you looking at my corpse now?"
Dong Fanglai was choked so much that his face turned pale. His knuckles on the steering wheel became numb from the force, and he cursed inwardly.
[Damn you Sang Xu! We all joined Longteng around the same time, so why are you able to rise all the way up and always outdo me? Just wait and see how long you can keep your arrogance!]
The carriage fell into an awkward and tense silence...
Ever since Longteng Base announced that it had reached saturation two months ago and would no longer unconditionally accept foreign survivors, the defense and access levels of the entire base have been raised to the highest level.
Without an insider recommendation or special skills, it is impossible to join Longteng.
From then on, entering the Longteng Base required passing through three strict checkpoints.
The first two are long-range obstacle points and fire coverage areas set up on the road leading to the base.
Any vehicle that was not registered with Longteng would be immediately attacked by heavy firearms or long-range supernatural weapons on the gate tower once it entered the range.
The third checkpoint is located ten meters in front of the gate. Passengers must show a valid pass and accurately say the dynamic code for the day before being allowed to approach the gate.
Even after entering the gate, you still need to undergo strict identity verification and physical examination to prevent people who have been scratched by zombies or are carrying dangerous goods from sneaking in.
After going through layers of strict inspections and confirmation that everything was correct, Sang Xu and his group's vehicle was allowed to enter the core area of the Longteng base - the central area.
The buildings here are obviously more solid and regular, and the equipment and spirit of the patrol team are far superior to those in the periphery.
In the central area conference room, several senior members of the base who had received the news were already sitting on both sides of the long table.
But the atmosphere in the conference room was not harmonious...
When Sang Xu and his team placed bags of rice, flour, canned food and dried meat on the solid wooden conference table, all eyes were instantly focused on them.
Sang Xu gave a standard military salute: "Report to the commanders! These are the material samples brought back from the 'Flame Heart', please take a look!"
A Chinese general picked up a well-sealed bag of fine rice and weighed it in his hand.
"The grains are plump and the packaging is intact... 'Flame Heart' can actually produce grain of this quality? Sang Xu, is 'Flame Heart' willing to provide us at Longteng with a large-scale purchase quota?"
Sang Xu: "Report to the commander! After confirming that we are a military base, the person in charge of Yanxin has agreed to the large-scale purchase request..."
Sitting on the upper right, a middle-aged man with an elegant face leaned forward slightly and said, "The Chi family is really not to be underestimated!"
The man who had been sitting in the main seat and listening silently spoke.
"We understand the situation. Sang Xu, you've worked hard today. Go down and rest first and wait for further notice!"
"Yes!" Sang Xu saluted again and left the meeting room.
