On the way back to base, the group had another disagreement.
Some people wanted to return the way they came because the route was shorter and the return trip would be much faster.
Dragging so many Killer Vines is too conspicuous; we can only feel at ease if we get back to the base as soon as possible.
However, another group of people believed that it was necessary to take a detour.
We need to take a detour through a sparsely populated area, one that few humans frequent, to ensure the safe transport of the Killing Vine back!
The two sides were locked in a dispute. Zhang Chengjie frowned and pondered for a long time, but then looked up at Fang Qingdai.
"What do you think, Qingdai?"
Fang Qingdai has only known Zhang Chengjie for a few days, but she has always performed exceptionally well. Zhang Chengjie truly admires Fang Qingdai, which is why he asked this question.
Fang Qingdai didn't refuse, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "I also think it's appropriate to take a detour."
"Many people travel back and forth to the base on the old road. With so many people around, it's inevitable that some will get jealous and cause trouble."
"With so many killing vines dragging along in our two sand trucks, we can't go fast no matter what. If we encounter someone blocking our way, we simply can't run fast!"
In order to transport all the Killing Vine back at once, Fang Qingdai directed everyone to weave the Killing Vine into huge baskets, put the Killing Vine on them, and then use the Killing Vine as a tow rope to tie it to the back of the sand truck.
They made the most of the local resources!
The sand buggy has enough horsepower to tow it, but its speed will definitely be greatly reduced.
Zhang Chengjie actually preferred to take the detour as well, and now that Fang Qingdai said the same thing, he simply made the decision: "Then let's take the detour!"
After discussing it for a while, the group decided to take a completely deserted road!
But Fang Qingdai happened to recognize that road!
The original owner went out to search for supplies, and that was the area!
That area still retains buildings from a century ago, but the radiation there is very strong, and entry requires a state-of-the-art radiation shielding system.
Apart from government personnel, no civilians can enter on their own.
Let alone entering, just getting close to it could easily cause radiation burns!
In addition, the authorities have already searched that area several times, so there are unlikely to be any remaining items.
Because of this, no one would approach that area.
Uh... except for the original owner.
On the way back in the dune buggy, Fang Qingdai saw the abandoned buildings in the distance and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Despite the dilapidated buildings and collapsed structures, those ruins belonged to the era in which Fang Qingdai should have lived.
It used to be a bustling place with neon-lit buildings and heavy traffic.
The more she reminisced, the more her heart stirred!
Although the official search had been conducted, Fang Qingdai still felt that there would be quite a few remaining items.
In particular, many items that the official team considers old and useless can be repaired by Fang Qingdai using her time-rewinding skill!
Insulate against radiation...
Fang Qingdai thought of her own space.
The space likely has the function of isolation or purification, so she could hide in the space and control her movement with her consciousness.
If the plan is feasible, then exploring this area is imperative!
Fang Qingdai suppressed her burning desire and prepared to make a serious plan after returning home!
It was already past midnight when everyone returned to the base.
But dragging those huge baskets of killer vines was enough to startle the shack area, and soon the whole shack area became lively.
Many people crawled out of their shacks and stared intently, their eyes burning with desire.
Noticing the many malicious stares, Zhang Chengjie immediately whispered to Skinny Monkey, "Go back and call someone."
The skinny monkey moved nimbly and quickly slipped into the crowd, running towards its own territory.
The remaining members cautiously picked up their weapons.
Fang Qingdai sighed, feeling utterly exhausted.
People living in shantytowns lead difficult lives and are more easily swayed by self-interest.
With such a large, lucrative prize in front of you, who wouldn't want a piece of the pie?
Given the sheer number of people, once chaos ensues, who gets the most or how much depends entirely on their own abilities.
The crowd watched intently, and the closer Zhang Chengjie's team got to the base gate, the more restless the crowd became.
Once Zhang Chengjie's team enters the base, with base personnel watching them, no one will have the chance or the courage to cause trouble!
The atmosphere was extremely tense, but at that moment, a childish voice broke the deadlock.
"Sister, Aunt Lu brought me to pick you up!"
Qingluan's sweet voice rang out in the darkness, and Fang Qingdai's heart skipped a beat.
Looking to the side, I saw Aunt Lu holding Little Qingluan, and behind them stood hundreds of people from Zhang Chengjie's forces!
The reason we could recognize those people was because everyone had black cloth bandages tied around their arms. One or two of them wouldn't be noticeable, but when the whole group was covered, they became very conspicuous!
Fang Qingdai felt a sense of relief and looked at Zhang Chengjie in surprise.
Identity bracelets are actually not as powerful as modern electronic devices.
The bracelet only supports basic identity verification, money transfer, and sending short messages and pictures.
Furthermore, due to the difficulty in building base stations, information and images may not be able to be transmitted stably when the distance from the base is too far.
Fang Qingdai was unlucky; the emergency contact photo that Zhao Kun and others had sent earlier happened to be transmitted by a signal.
Fang Qingdai thought that Zhang Chengjie was just lucky to have sent the message back in advance.
To everyone's surprise, Zhang Chengjie shook his head: "I sent the message, but the signal was unstable and I couldn't get it to go through."
Fang Qingdai was surprised. What was going on? Did the members of the territory have precognitive abilities?
Just as she was wondering what was going on, Fang Qingdai suddenly met an extremely cold gaze.
The man's eyes were unusually fierce, as if he wanted nothing more than to pounce on Fang Qingdai and devour her alive!
"Who is that person?" After confirming that she did not recognize the person, Fang Qingdai turned to ask Zhang Chengjie.
Boss Zhang glanced at it and frowned slightly: "Zhao Kun's older brother, Zhao Bin."
"You... you killed Zhao Kun and his men a while ago, weren't you photographed in the face?"
The members of the territory had made preparations in advance to come out and greet him, probably because Zhao Bin had gone to the territory to demand an explanation for the deaths of Zhao Kun and the others.
Seeing this, the members of the territory were worried that their leader would be surrounded by Zhao Bin and his men when he returned, so they made preparations in advance.
Zhao Bin indirectly helped Zhang Chengjie and the others!
Fang Qingdai suddenly realized, and then sighed helplessly.
As expected, her face was captured in the photo.
This feud has really snowballed; it's no longer just a minor squabble at the beginning.
Since that's the case...
Fang Qingdai smiled brightly at Zhao Bin and gave him an international friendship gesture.
Although Zhao Bin didn't understand what the middle finger meant, he could clearly understand Fang Qingdai's provocation!
He was so angry that his face turned red and his eyes became bloodshot, but he could only try his best to endure it.
Almost all of Zhang Chengjie's forces were present, each armed and eager to fight.
Zhao Bin's power was already inferior to Zhang Chengjie's, so he definitely couldn't win in a head-on confrontation.
Moreover, with the two dune buggies already close to the base entrance, no one dared to act recklessly anymore!
Fang Qingdai and the others handed in their missions without incident.
"32,600 catties of Killing Vine, 2 points for every 10 catties, for a total of 6,520 points!"
Even Zhang Chengjie was stunned by this huge gain!
The group's faces were flushed, and they didn't want to waste a second: "Quick, quick, let's go back and divide the money!"
