Chapter 44 Preparations before the Battle
Gu Liuchuan tapped on the computer for a while and finally determined the location of the octopus. She enlarged the three red dots on the screen, turned the swivel chair, sat sideways and made room for Lin Xiyue, Gu Qinghan and the others to see the screen clearly.
Gu Liuchuan said calmly, "Those three sea beasts are three kilometers away from the island base. They're currently dormant, so I think they've fallen asleep! This is a good thing. We can take advantage of their unpreparedness and kill them first."
Lin Xiyue looked at the three red dots on the screen and offered his own advice: "Leave those three sea beasts to me and Qinghan. Xiaoyu and Luo Qing will stay at the island base to prepare for any emergencies."
Lin Xiyue continued to ask, "Sister, by the way, those three sea beasts were originally mutated octopuses, so their meat should be edible! Didn't your base say that the superiors haven't sent any supplies in a long time? In that case, Qinghan and I will go and bring back the three sea beasts to add to the children's dishes. Stir-fried squid and braised squid whiskers should be delicious!"
Gu Liuchuan frowned and said with a worried look on her face: "No, even though you are also psychics, can you defeat a level three sea beast?"
Gu Qinghan, who was standing beside Gu Liuchuan, gently placed her hands on her shoulders and patted them, saying in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, sister! Xiyue is already a peak level five dual-element psychic. If she gets the crystal core of a level three sea beast this time, she might be able to break through to level six after absorbing it! And I'm not bad either, currently a level five fire-element psychic. Leaving those three sea beasts to Xiyue and me will definitely be no problem."
Hearing Gu Qinghan and the others' conversation, Yao Xi looked incredulous. What was the concept of a level five ability? How did they do it? Thinking back to how much effort she and Gu Liuchuan had put in to break through to level two, and since Lin Xiyue and Gu Qinghan were both level five, their two friends must be quite powerful!
Yao Xi looked at Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing, and Lin Xiyue seemed to see through Yao Xi's thoughts, "Xiaoyu has a fourth-level wood ability, Luoqing has a fourth-level earth ability, and they are healing and defensive. With them two here, the safety of the island base will definitely be no problem."
Gu Liuchuan was also shocked: "Level five superpowers, damn, sisters, how did you improve your superpowers? Teach me and Yao Xi too!" "Yao Xi has level two wind and light superpowers. My superpowers are relatively weak. I can fart, but I don't really fart with my butt. The superpowers I release are quite pungent, equivalent to hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting myself by eight hundred. Yao Xi also dislikes it." Gu Liuchuan said with a blushing cheek.
Lin Xiyue held her breath, trying not to let herself laugh out loud, and encouraged her, "Sister, it's okay. Having superpowers is better than not having them. From now on, you and Yao Xi will command the base, and Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing will also give them to you."
Seeing that Lin Xiyue and Gu Qinghan were about to go fight the sea beast, Gu Liuchuan said, "Sea beast meat is indeed edible. If you can bring some back, the children will definitely like it. But it's almost noon now, why not eat first?"
Lin Xiyue held Gu Qinghan's hand and turned to look at her. "Wife, are you hungry? Why don't we eat something before we go? You just watch and I'll go fight them."
Gu Qinghan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's eat first and then go fight."
Hearing this, Lin Xiyue took Gu Qinghan's hand and walked to an empty corner. Gu Qinghan leaned close to Lin Xiyue. As Lin Xiyue moved his mind, his Pisces tattoo lit up, and six lunch boxes and six 500ml bottles of Lingxi water immediately appeared on the table. Gu Qinghan and Lin Xiyue came to the long table together with the lunch boxes and Lingxi water.
Gu Qinghan said to them, "Sister, let's eat first! There's food for all of you, come and eat together."
Yao Xi didn't see clearly how they made the fresh and hot lunch boxes appear. She knew that everyone had secrets, and she also had the secret that she liked Gu Liuchuan.
So she didn't ask Lin Xiyue any more questions. Yao Xi sat down and looked at the lunch box with three meats and one vegetable in front of her, with the familiar delivery logo on it. One look at the packaging of these meals, and it should be what Lin Xiyue had saved before the end of the world!
Gu Liuchuan sat next to Yao Xi, looking at the familiar takeout box in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh. She hadn't seen a box delivered by Meituan for a long time since the end of the world, which made her feel as if she had returned to a past that had never existed.
No matter how emotional she felt, she still had to accept that they were now in the end times. Gu Liuchuan opened the disposable chopsticks, ate the hot meal, and thought about things. She was thinking that Lin Xiyue might have a space that could store food permanently. She and Gu Qinghan had just met, and she was afraid that she could not gain their trust for the time being.
Gu Liuchuan thought to herself that if they spent more time together, they would definitely become good friends. With this thought, she no longer felt restrained and began to eat without worry!
Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing were already accustomed to this kind of situation. After all, one of them was Lin Xiyue's best friend, and the other was Gu Qinghan's best friend. They saw scenes like this almost every day. Even so, it took them a long time to gain Lin Xiyue's approval, but they always trusted each other.
Lin Xiyue sat there quietly eating, showing no intention of explaining. Gu Qinghan simply said to Yao Xi and Gu Liuchuan, "Sister, I'll tell you when the time is right! Eat your fill first so you have enough energy to work later!"
Lin Xiyue quickly finished the food in the lunch box, then picked up the half-empty bottle of Lingxi water next to her and gulped it down. After finishing, she burped contentedly and said, "Wife, I'm full. I'm going to the bathroom first. Wait for me, we'll set off together later."
Gu Qinghan smiled and nodded, responding gently: "Well, okay, go ahead! I'll wait for you here."
Yao Xi, refreshed after a satisfying meal, immediately began methodically arranging for the soldiers to conduct enhanced security patrols around the base. These well-trained soldiers quickly took action, following Yao Xi's instructions and conducting rigorous patrols in every corner of the base.
At the same time, the base's high-voltage power grid also entered standby mode, ready to be activated at any time. This power grid is one of the base's important lines of defense. Once activated, it will cause great damage to any enemy attempting to invade.
Furthermore, the soldiers and civilians with first-level abilities were also ready for battle at any moment. They stood in formation, weapons tightly gripped in their hands, their eyes scanning their surroundings sharply, not missing any place where danger might arise.
Du Luoqing was also busy. She used her powerful earth energy to envelop the entire base from the inside out in a ten-meter-high wall. This wall was not only extremely strong, but also had a certain degree of defense, which could effectively resist attacks from the outside.
Ji Yuan unleashed her unique wood-based abilities, sending countless green vines with sharp thorns snaking out of the earth like snakes, quickly clinging to the thick walls. These vines not only added a layer of green protection to the walls, but also further enhanced their defensive capabilities.
Gu Liuchuan sat in front of her computer, staring intently at the surveillance footage surrounding the base. Her fingers tapped the keyboard frequently, switching perspectives and paying attention to every subtle change near the base.
At the same time, she also paid close attention to the distance between Lin Xiyue, Gu Qinghan and others and the three sea beasts to ensure their safety.
