The sudden emergence of a level nine ability user gave Huang Guang and the Mao family a lot of confidence!
The two families gathered in Fang Qingdai's office to discuss their trip to the Xuanwu Base.
Fang Qingdai explained the detailed plan to them: "We have forged a batch of energy stones. The current plan is to have people disguised as White Tiger or Vermilion Bird base personnel escort the energy stones and provide information to Black Tortoise base."
Once the people from Xuanwu Base take the bait, even if they are cautious and don't take action, as long as they follow them, there will be an opportunity to create conflict with other bases.
The plan is simple, but the bait is enticing enough that the enemy won't take the bait.
Those are energy stones that currently only weigh a little over 500 jin in total!
First, drag the Xuanwu Base into the vortex of war. Once the Xuanwu Base is in chaos, it will be easier for Fang Qingdai and her team to take action.
Neither the Huang nor the Mao families had any objections, but they both had some concerns.
"I'm a little worried... If he's lying to us, all this trouble and the amount of manpower and resources we've expended at the base, I really feel uneasy..."
Mao Min's unease was also what Huang Guang was worried about.
The other party's bait was too obvious. Even though I knew it might be a trap, I was bound by emotions and couldn't turn a blind eye!
Fang Qingdai smiled and said, "Isn't our method the same as his? Energy stones are such an attractive bait, and they will still step into them even knowing it might be a trap. The more you suffer, the more anxious they are!"
"Don't worry about those things. You are part of the Oasis Base. If we can't even solve the problems our own people encounter, what's the point of the Oasis Base's growth and expansion?"
Xiao Mao leaned over to Mao Min and interrupted, "Hey, Mom, why are you worrying about that? What's my relationship with my sister? She's my half-sister, and my grandfather is her grandfather. My sister definitely won't abandon me!"
Fang Qingdai glared at him, both amused and annoyed, but said in agreement, "That's right, Aunt Mao. Whether it's for public or private reasons, I can't stand idly by and do nothing about you and Uncle Huang's situation. The same goes for everyone else at the base, so don't feel too much pressure!"
After the group finished discussing and finalizing their plan, Fang Qingdai led her people away from the base that very night.
After disguising themselves, a convoy of vehicles bearing the insignia of the Vermilion Bird Base appeared on the wasteland.
However, the Suzaku Base logo on the vehicle was deliberately covered up, and it would be difficult to spot unless one was paying close attention.
The convoy's behavior was also quite unusual. It kept stopping and starting, waiting for the lead vehicles to scout out the situation. Whenever there was a person ahead, the convoy would stop to let them pass or change course.
The convoy consisted of five vehicles, each carrying six people, all fully equipped with their dark gun barrels gleaming coldly.
Such a well-equipped team could crush anyone they encounter, so why are they being so cautious?
What are they transporting?
In the car, Xiao Mao, wearing a mask, asked worriedly, "Sis, if we're trying to avoid people like this, how will the news get out?"
Fang Qingdai leaned back in her chair with her eyes closed, seemingly dozing, but in reality, she was manipulating her mental energy to detect any movement around her.
She said casually, "We've been watching them for a long time."
They only avoided people in the open, but with her mental probing, she would deliberately direct the convoy to get closer to those eyes in the shadows, attracting a lot of attention along the way.
After all, the White Tiger Base and the Vermilion Bird Base have started fighting, and the wasteland is not peaceful now. Any force with some ability is doing everything it can to spread its spies all over the wasteland, for fear that delays in receiving information will bring disaster.
Xiao Mao didn't question Fang Qingdai's words. He immediately perked up and asked, "Then how do we leak the news that there are energy stones in the car?"
Fang Qingdai opened her eyes and announced that they should set up camp and rest!
The convoy stopped in a sandy area, with one person staying in each vehicle to guard it, while the others took the opportunity to rest and eat.
After the people who got off the bus finished eating, it was time for the people still on the bus to get off to eat and relieve themselves.
The convoy was only stopped for half an hour, and remained on high alert, seemingly without any flaws.
However, Fang Qingdai's spiritual power sensed it clearly. When the caravan exchanged guards, some impatient forces had already quietly approached.
Fang Qingdai appeared completely oblivious, but inwardly she was filled with sighs of admiration!
So many methods people use in the wasteland!
Some manipulate vines to approach from under the sand and attach what appear to be listening devices to vehicles.
Some even had earth-elemental ability users crawl in to eavesdrop on the group's conversations.
Some wind-related systems can even sense the sounds carried by the wind.
In short, like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities, the seemingly harmless convoy had already been spied on by more than a dozen forces!
To determine whether there are any people from the Xuanwu Base inside, we need to see if there is any action taken within the Xuanwu Base after the news spreads.
All the spies sprang into action, carefully gathering intelligence on any activity within the Xuanwu base.
Inside the car where the listening device was installed, the convoy members chatted casually, revealing that the car contained energy stones.
Not long after, news came from the scouts at the Xuanwu base that Li Weidong had personally led a team out of the base!
Fang Qingdai looked at Jing Yi and mouthed with a smile, "The fish has taken the bait!"
Jing Yi nodded to indicate that he had received the message, and then led the convoy toward the Vermilion Bird Base.
Perhaps fearing they would miss their stop, the convoy began to encounter various problems along the way.
There were strange beasts blocking the road, and bandits from the wilderness robbing the vehicles. A moment later, the vehicles were also tripped by broken alloy pieces buried in the sand.
These are all minor troubles that the team can easily handle, but they will still waste a lot of time.
Fang Qingdai couldn't help but complain inwardly; if they couldn't catch up, she was about to explode from the trouble!
Fortunately, the Xuanwu base was quite efficient. Finally, just as the convoy encountered its fourth problem, a group of people appeared in the wilderness in the distance.
Fang Qingdai narrowed her eyes and covered the area with her spiritual power.
Fang Qingdai was relieved after hearing Li Weidong's voice.
It's finally here!
She pretended to notice someone approaching and nervously directed the convoy to speed up.
Upon seeing this, the people behind shouted, "Stop! The Xuanwu Base is patrolling its territory. Anyone who refuses to cooperate with the inspection will be treated as a wilderness bandit!"
Upon hearing this, the convoy sped up even more!
Li Weidong cursed and ordered, "Full speed ahead! Have the guards at Outpost No. 5 ahead cooperate in intercepting them!"
They chased each other until a group of people appeared ahead to block their way!
The convoy that was caught up not only refused to cooperate with the inspection, but also opened fire without saying a word, clearly determined to break through the encirclement at all costs!
Some even shouted, "Contact the base immediately and request backup!"
"White Tiger, White Tiger, this is the captain of Squad 246. My team has been maliciously intercepted by the Xuanwu Base during a mission. Requesting backup from the base..."
