"Then why did you activate the alarm here?" Commander Huang was somewhat taken aback, and judging from the situation, he thought Fang Qingdai was preparing to leave.
Fang Qingdai smiled and said, "Have you forgotten about the feint? The alarm went off here. After the truth comes out, they will focus their investigation here."
Commander Huang nodded in understanding, but still had some doubts: "Then how do we turn back from the entrance? If we activate the alarm and wait for someone to come and open the door to check, won't the entrance also become a suspect?"
Fang Qingdai smiled maliciously: "Why not activate it? Just wait for Li Weidong to leave on his own."
"What?"
Fang Qingdai watched as Li Weidong, who had already discovered something amiss in the nuclear weapons research and development area through the central monitoring system, strode towards her, and her smile grew even brighter.
"Once we discover there's a problem, Li Weidong will definitely go back to the Xuanwu base to report and dispatch people to investigate. We can just follow him out once he opens the door."
"Before this, as long as we stayed still and didn't move, their equipment couldn't detect my space!"
Fang Qingdai's face shone with confidence, and her arrogant and domineering demeanor made Commander Huang's eyes widen.
After a long while, he sighed and said, "I finally understand what the book means by 'the younger generation surpasses the older generation.' With young people like you in the wasteland, we can finally look forward to retirement."
Influenced by Fang Qingdai's confident and arrogant demeanor, her teammates all calmed down.
Even though Li Weidong was furious and activated full defenses, with detectors every three steps in the underground plaza and tens of thousands of locking cannons activated on the ceiling, creating a tense atmosphere that made people outside pale, the atmosphere inside remained peaceful.
Commander Huang even had a moment to comment on the furious Li Weidong: "This old dog, he usually puts on a show of being unmoved by anything, but now that his sore spot has been touched, he'll jump up and down!"
Fang Qingdai remained unaffected, slumped to the ground, and replied, "Not only that, they'll probably start scolding me in a little while."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Weidong outside gritted his teeth and said, "Qingdai, I know you're here. You despicable and treacherous wretch, come out and speak if you dare!"
Fang Qingdai looked at Commander Huang with a smile: "You see, that's the downside of pretending to be someone else. It's hard to use foul language when you're cursing, it's so unpleasant."
Commander Huang nodded in agreement: "If we're talking about swearing, your base's patrol captain is pretty good at it."
"Mao Yun? She's good at beating people up, you'd better not mess with her."
Commander Huang's eyes lit up slightly: "I think it's great. By the way, does she have a boyfriend? Is she considering marriage?"
Fang Qingdai's gaze sharpened as she looked at Commander Huang, scrutinizing him from head to toe: "You?"
Commander Huang looks to be over sixty, while Mao Yun is not even forty. Is this appropriate?
Seeing Fang Qingdai cast a disdainful glance at him despite the friendly atmosphere, Commander Huang's face flushed red: "What are you thinking!"
"I'm talking about Wang Lian! That kid is actually a pretty good person, a bit mild-mannered, but he complements Mao Yun perfectly, what do you think?"
Fang Qingdai breathed a sigh of relief, but still shook her head: "That depends on what Aunt Yun thinks. I am an open-minded base leader and I don't interfere in the team members' love lives."
Commander Huang understood: "That's true, you haven't found the right one yourself yet."
Fang Qingdai rolled her eyes, refusing to gossip with Commander Huang.
Li Weidong shouted a few times, but there was no response at all, so he could only shut his mouth, his face so dark it was almost dripping with water.
"Keep an eye on this area. No passage is to be opened after I leave!"
After giving his instructions, Li Weidong hurriedly returned to the Xuanwu Base, and Fang Qingdai immediately manipulated space to follow him, almost sticking to his back!
Li Weidong was very cautious. Like taking an X-ray, he scanned himself several times with an energy detection device. His skin was even reddened from the high-frequency energy before he carefully squeezed out of the exit.
Fang Qingdai manipulated the space and rushed out first. She glanced back at Li Weidong, whose skin was flushed red, and couldn't help but whistle loudly.
The grudge that had been schemed against and disgusted him finally found a chance to vent his anger.
Fearing that things might change if she delayed, Fang Qingdai left the Xuanwu Base at lightning speed without lingering.
"I'm going to explore the highly polluted area near Xuanwu No. 4 base. If you have other plans, I'll find a safe place for you to leave first."
Fang Qingdai asked Commander Huang questions as she sped along.
Commander Huang thought for a moment: "Can you do it yourself?"
Fang Qingdai gave her a haughty little look.
Commander Huang smiled helplessly before saying, "Alright, let us go. I need to hurry back to the base to report on the situation. We'll split up. If we encounter people from the Xuanwu Base chasing us, we can draw their fire for you."
They were all adults, and Commander Huang was also the leader of the superpowered group of the Dragon Head Base. Fang Qingdai believed that he was capable of dealing with the Xuan Base's pursuit.
Without saying much, he decisively found a safe place, released a few sand trucks and some supplies to them, and then used his spatial manipulation to head to the highly polluted area.
As they walked, Fang Qingdai called out to Wutongmu, "What exactly is the core of the energy stone?"
Wutongmu replied quickly: "Energy Stone Core? You found the Energy Stone Core?"
"I have some news, so I'm asking you, just in case I've contacted the wrong person."
The wutong tree's consciousness immediately became excited: "There's no way I could be wrong!"
Look at this!
From its most treasured mine, the paulownia tree pulled out a stone as bright as the moon!
The entire stone radiated a pure white light, its halo gentle and soft yet powerfully spreading outwards. Just a small breath of the energy emanating from it made Fang Qingdai feel her depleted spiritual energy recover significantly!
Fang Qingdai was stunned: "This is the core? One of these is worth a hundred ordinary energy stones, right?"
The paulownia tree carefully put the stone back: "It's not a core yet, but it already shows signs of becoming a king. If you nurture it well, it will definitely be able to do so in five or ten years!"
This isn't the core issue?
Fang Qingdai stared longingly, "I understand. If we can really find the core, I'll exchange it for a regular energy stone. With a core, your mine should grow much faster!"
"More than that! If I had a core, this one in my hand wouldn't even need three to five years, it would be fully grown in a few more months!"
Fang Qingdai felt a surge of excitement upon hearing this.
Just like when you first start planting, the initial quantity is small and the quality is low, so it grows slowly after planting.
But with enough energy supporting each other, the energy will grow faster and more abundantly through a compounding effect.
If we can really get the core this time, the team members at Oasis Base will soon have another opportunity for collective improvement!
Fang Qingdai arrived at the highly polluted area of Xuanwu No. 4, bypassed layers of guards, and quietly sneaked in.
