According to Xuan Er's feedback, the base commander did receive Xuan Liu's request for assistance and replied that he would send support.
They probably made contact when Fang Qingdai and the others exited through the secret passage.
When the base commander received further messages from Xuan Liu, they were all just a bunch of gibberish, leaving him completely baffled.
Xuan Liu and Fang Qingdai exchanged a glance and Xuan Liu revealed the unusual magnetic field.
"No wonder. But thankfully, at least we've made contact. If the magnetic field interference were stronger, it would be a real problem if we couldn't transmit information at all."
Xuan Er patted Xuan Liu on the shoulder with relief and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Xuan Liu and Fang Qingdai touched their noses in unison.
Anyway, they won't bring up the fact that they tampered with the information. If Zhu Lingfeng has any doubts, he can tell him to go back and confront the base chief.
At that time, Fang Qingdai's side should keep the same story and insist that the change in information was due to magnetic field interference.
They might feel guilty if they use information to do bad things.
Ultimately, however, they were merely using the information gap to stall Zhu Lingfeng; their main objective was to protect Outpost No. 4.
The only one injured was Zhu Lingfeng, whose plans were disrupted; the others suffered no losses.
Most importantly, in order to cover up the signal jamming equipment, Zhu Lingfeng will definitely coordinate with Fang Qingdai and others to shift the blame to magnetic field interference.
Therefore, their actions will most likely not be held accountable.
When the officials arrived, all the exhausted personnel who had been holding out at the outpost for so long took a break.
The official team carried a large number of firearms, and with a combination of bombardment and blasting, clearing out the alien beasts was as easy as cutting leeks.
Even the few large, high-risk creatures were all captured and eliminated by the official team.
Regular troops are different; they are organized and disciplined, ruthless, and kill with a single blow, never giving the enemy a chance to retaliate!
Fang Qingdai watched coldly, but she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger rising within her.
"The official team is indeed invincible." She praised lightly, but before Xuan Er could respond, Fang Qingdai changed the subject again: "Following Commander Zhu is on a completely different level."
Zhu Lingfeng also brought an official team, but he kept the official team from going to the battlefield, and the first half of the game was almost entirely held up by the superhuman squad.
If Fang Qingdai hadn't devised a scheme to trick Zhu Lingfeng, this official team would never have had a chance to go to the battlefield!
Xuan Er paused for a moment, then glanced at Zhu Lingfeng.
Zhu Lingfeng remained calm: "The strongest teams will definitely be the last ones to go. If I send the official teams out early and exhaust their capabilities, they probably won't even last until reinforcements arrive from the base!"
Fang Qingdai curled the corners of her lips slightly, but remained silent.
Every commander has their own combat style, and Zhu Lingfeng's behavior of using a squad of superhumans to wear down the enemy's fighting strength is considered normal in the wasteland.
The official team finished up the cleanup, and after two days and three nights, they finally wiped out all the monsters.
"We can go back to base now." Xuan Er breathed a sigh of relief and discussed the return trip with Xuan Liu and Zhu Lingfeng.
After a full week, Fang Qingdai and the others finally returned to the base.
There was no time to rest; the base commander, deeply concerned about battlefield matters, immediately convened a meeting.
All officers at the rank of battalion commander and above are required to participate.
Fang Qingdai cursed under her breath and reluctantly dragged her heavy steps to the conference hall.
Xuan Liu and Zhu Lingfeng jointly reported the details of the battle. The base commander stared at the message he had sent, appointing Xuan Liu as the temporary deputy commander, and remained silent for a while.
He stared straight at Xuan Liu, who lowered his eyes, his face serious.
The base commander then looked at Fang Qingdai, who was slumped in the chair like she had no bones, looking completely calm.
The base commander ultimately said nothing, only shaking his head and smiling helplessly.
Fang Qingdai and Xuan Liu exchanged a furtive glance, and both of them breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although magnetic field interference can turn information into gibberish, it is still a valid excuse.
But what kind of garbled code could so clearly issue an appointment order?
Fortunately, as Fang Qingdai guessed, this action did not have a negative impact on the battle. Zhu Lingfeng had something to hide and did not take the initiative to expose it, so the base commander turned a blind eye and did not investigate further.
This meeting will not only take stock of the comrades who were wounded or killed in the battle, but also commend the meritorious team members.
Fang Qingdai led her team to hold the line twice in a timely manner, demonstrating outstanding performance. The base commander personally recognized her as the captain, and her benefits and treatment were also improved.
In addition, Xuan Liu was appointed to a critical position and performed his duties as deputy commander very well. The base commander believed that he had leadership qualities and said that he could be transferred to the Special Abilities Group to work and take on a deputy regimental-level position.
Xuan Liu was about to refuse without thinking, but Fang Qingdai stopped him with a wink.
"I agree. It will be much easier to investigate things once you join the Superpowered Group."
Fang Qingdai has no powerful connections, so her promotion won't be too fast.
On the contrary, Xuan Liu, Xuan Ba, and Xiao Mao have connections and backgrounds, making it easier to promote them to power.
Xuan Liu still hesitated: "I don't want to leave the team."
Fang Qingdai said with exasperation, "Whether you're in the team or not, we're all friends and partners. People strive for higher positions, and the higher you stand, the better you can provide protection for the team!"
"Think about your uncle!"
Xuan Liu's expression hardened, and he finally nodded in agreement.
The base commander nodded in satisfaction and then mentioned Xiao Mao: "I heard that Commander Li's son generously donated a lot of snake repellent powder on the battlefield to help his comrades get rid of the threat of venomous snakes?"
After receiving a positive reply, the base commander exclaimed with emotion, "He is indeed a kind and enthusiastic young man. What the base lacks is this kind of selfless dedication. I propose to reward him, in addition to replenishing his snake repellent powder, and also to promote him to the position of squad leader!"
Xiao Mao went from an ordinary person to the captain of the superpowered squad in just one month, which can be described as rapid progress!
However, he advanced through his own good fortune, without relying on Li Weidong's influence, so no one could say that he used connections.
Fang Qingdai happily agreed on behalf of Xiao Mao.
Fang Qingdai wasn't listening to the rewards and punishments for the other members; she was silently calculating how many ears her team had harvested this time.
A pair of exotic beast ears can be exchanged for a little military merit.
The base has already published a list of military merits, which includes a detailed redemption chart.
Fang Qingdai's team was very powerful when they worked together, and the number of beast ears they collected was not only the most among all the superhuman teams, but also among the top.
What's more, Fang Qingdai also collected more than 600 pairs of exotic beast ears from Li Peng's family!
To be fair, Li Peng's family is quite impressive.
Zhang Caixia and Li Mingyue both possess powerful strength-based abilities, while Li Peng has a wood-based mutated recovery ability. He continuously restores energy to Li Mingyue and Zhao Caixia, allowing the three of them to continue fighting.
If it weren't for Zhu Lingfeng's influence, the three of them could have accumulated a lot of military merits.
After Fang Qingdai finished counting, her team had collected a total of 12,800 pairs of exotic beast ears, which was equivalent to 12,800 military merits.
