Night had fallen, and there were few people around outside the Xuanwu No. 4 base. Fang Qingdai then came out of the space and met up with Jing Yi and the others.
After taking Mao Min out of the space, Fang Qingdai said solemnly, "I'm entrusting my aunt to you!"
When Jing Yi saw that she was serious, he was slightly taken aback.
Fang Qingdai wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Jing Yi's eyes flickered, and he seemed a little unhappy.
"You're really taking good care of Xiao Mao." You're so devoted to taking care of someone else's mother.
Fang Qingdai was completely unaware of anything. She nodded matter-of-factly, "Of course, Xiao Mao and I are half-siblings. He's so good to me, so of course I have to be good to him too!"
For some reason, the displeasure in Jing Yi's eyes disappeared.
He pursed his lips and nodded earnestly: "My younger brother should take good care of his family. Don't worry, I will take good care of your aunt!"
Fang Qingdai scratched her head, feeling that something was not quite right.
But Jing Yi didn't give her time to think. He had the third and fourth brothers help Mao Min into the car, and then said, "I might need your help."
Fang Qingdai looked at him with suspicion, waiting for him to continue.
“My team members came from the White Tiger Base’s territory. They had no supplies along the way, and it would be too risky to walk. Even if they managed to get here, there would probably be some casualties!”
They were all wanted criminals, and even when they passed through various bases along the way, they dared not go in to replenish their supplies.
Crossing the wilderness without any supplies is obviously extremely risky.
Fang Qingdai frowned upon hearing this and quickly asked, "What do I need to do?"
Jing Yi and her subordinates are the ones Fang Qingdai is currently most comfortable using. Even the plan to leave the base in the future will require Jing Yi and his people to make further arrangements.
Fang Qingdai didn't want to lose any of his manpower either, since there weren't many people available to begin with!
Jingyi felt a little embarrassed. He said he wanted to repay the kindness, but he always felt that he hadn't been able to give back much. On the contrary, it was Fang Qingdai who had been doing the targeted poverty alleviation.
But thinking of those loyal teammates who had risked their lives for him and never betrayed him even in the face of death, Jing Yi still shamelessly said, "If we could get a few more dune buggies, I'd like to personally pick up the team members!"
Jing Yi currently only has two dune buggies. If he's just carrying people, he can squeeze in the dozen or so team members.
But as they crossed the wilderness back and forth, they would definitely need to carry enough supplies along the way, which would mean the vehicle couldn't carry that many people.
Fang Qingdai lowered her eyes and thought for a moment when she heard that it was about a car.
She currently has five dune buggies in her space!
The five damaged dune buggies that were previously acquired from the logistics department were repaired twice before being given to Jing Yi and his team. The remaining three buggies were gradually recovered during this period.
Including the two vehicles we got from Zhao Kun and his group, there are now five vehicles left.
Currently, Fang Qingdai's team has two vehicles, which is basically enough. The extra three vehicles can be given to Jing Yi first.
But: "Wait two more days, and I'll try to get you some supplies to take with you!"
Sufficient supplies of fuel, medicine, and other necessities must be prepared for the journey.
Venturing into the wilderness with insufficient supplies resulted in not being rescued by others and getting himself killed!
Fang Qingdai's fuel reserves were not much, and she couldn't recover much in two days, as were other supplies.
Furthermore, with a major battle looming, all supplies will be scarce, making it unrealistic to use points to purchase them.
However, Fang Qingdai's idea was not to simply make purchases honestly!
Inspired by the insidious plans of other squad leaders, they wanted to use the war to betray their comrades and steal credit.
Why couldn't Fang Qingdai profit from the war and take advantage of the chaos to collect supplies?
Whoever messes with her, she'll take their money; let's see who can outmaneuver whom!
Jing Yi didn't ask her any further questions. He simply used the third brother's bracelet to transfer 30,000 points into Fang Qingdai's bracelet.
Fang Qingdai was stunned, her face full of shock: "Where did you get the money?"
Her tone and demeanor were just like a wife interrogating her husband about the source of his secret stash of money!
The main reason is that Fang Qingdai knew about Jing Yi and his group's savings!
Jing Yi lost his bracelet and had no money. His three teammates had also emptied their savings at the beginning and transferred all their money to Fang Qingdai.
They couldn't enter the base, and even if they hunted down alien beasts, they couldn't cash them out. So where did he get the huge sum of 30,000 points?
Did the team members who are far away at the White Tiger Base transfer this over?
Faced with Fang Qingdai's question, Jing Yi touched his nose.
"That time I helped Xiao Mao's aunt, I didn't tell you you had a tail following you..."
Jing Yi and his team dealt with the tail of that group, but they didn't kill them outright.
That group of people were clearly independent individuals, meaning they didn't hold any official positions at any base and were just desert bandits who roamed around the vicinity of various bases and made a living by robbing passersby!
Jing Yi captured them alive so he could force them to tell him why they were following Fang Qingdai and who sent them.
But the leader of that group of thugs, in order to save his own life, voluntarily offered up points to buy his life!
After listening to his description, Fang Qingdai finally remembered the group of blurry figures after a long time.
She frowned: "They paid to save their lives, and you're letting them go?"
Jing Yi was a little embarrassed: "No."
If Qingdai had harbored evil intentions, Jingyi would be considered lenient if he didn't tear her to pieces. How could he possibly let her go just for points?
In the past, if the other party offered points, Jing Yi wouldn't even glance at it!
But ever since he lost the bracelet, Jing Yi has experienced firsthand the hardship of being penniless. He also felt that Fang Qingdai was making one-sided sacrifices, so when she offered to spend 30,000 points to save his life, Jing Yi hesitated.
He shamelessly said, "Send me the points, and I won't kill you."
"And then?" Fang Qingdai frowned.
"Then, it was the third brother who killed that person." Jing Yi's cheeks flushed red. He felt ashamed to have broken his promise like this in front of Fang Qingdai.
He glanced at Fang Qingdai cautiously, afraid of seeing disdain on her face!
To everyone's surprise, Fang Qingdai's brows relaxed instantly, and she smiled, saying, "You did the right thing!"
After saying that, Fang Qingdai earnestly advised, "Jingyi, you were born into a privileged family and may not have been exposed to much of the wickedness of human nature before. You must understand that letting a tiger return to the mountain will eventually lead to its own destruction. We cannot do such a thing!"
"A gentleman doesn't last long in the wasteland!"
Jing Yi was somewhat puzzled.
He was born into privilege, but how many people who grow up in the wasteland are truly kind-hearted?
Moreover, he had been outwitting and fighting against the forces behind Li Weidong for a long time, and was eventually driven out of the base by despicable means. Under such circumstances, even a saint would have turned evil. Why would Fang Qingdai worry that he was not ruthless enough?
He didn't know that in Fang Qingdai's world, soldiers were synonymous with integrity.
Jing Yi has a strong military style, and Fang Qingdai is always worried that he is too straightforward and won't understand the intricacies of things.
Fang Qingdai was relieved to see that he had agreed seriously.
"Go back now. I will definitely find you enough supplies in two days!"
