"boom!"
Ten thousand people were shocked, realizing for the first time in their lives that spiritual power, which they had previously thought to be invisible and intangible, could also produce tangible shockwaves!
The semi-transparent shockwave sent Li Weidong flying more than ten meters before he crashed heavily to the ground.
The two corpses that Li Weidong had used as human shields were blown to pieces, their fragments scattering everywhere amidst the flying sand!
At that moment, not only the enemy troops, but even their own troops were filled with horror, looking at Fang Qingdai with suspicion and uncertainty.
Even in a wasteland where moral standards are low and family ties are often thin, it's rare to see such a ruthless person who personally blows up their parents!
Wasn't the Oasis Base Chief always gentle, friendly, and with a good relationship with his family?
Li Weidong staggered as he tried to get up from the ground, shaking off clods of dirt and metal pieces—defenses he had erected using all his supernatural abilities in the nick of time.
Even with his quick reflexes, he still couldn't withstand Fang Qingdai's full-force close-range attack!
He had barely managed to crawl halfway up when he vomited a mouthful of blood and fell back to the ground.
He felt his internal organs bleeding violently, many bones in his body shattered, and his brain was severely damaged by the strong impact of mental energy, causing him to experience severe tinnitus and dizziness.
With his consciousness almost completely clouded, Li Weidong could only grasp one thought—escape!
He crawled with difficulty, his movements comical, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood with every step, but his remaining will still compelled him to get away from this place.
Seeing this, the people from Xuanwu Base finally reacted and immediately rushed towards Li Weidong, trying to protect him.
But as soon as the enemy moved, a large number of earth spikes burst forth from the ground to block them, and the oasis's earth-type ability user team instantly blocked them.
As the earth-elemental ability user team moved forward, some sharp-eyed people finally saw through the transparent protective masks a face that should have been blown to pieces!
"Qingzhong! It's Qingdai's father!"
Everyone followed the man's gaze and were astonished to find Qing Zhong standing there perfectly fine, calmly directing the earth-elemental ability team to block the enemy!
The people at Xuanwu Base exclaimed in surprise: "How is this possible? The two men that Commander Li has were stolen from Oasis Base by our own people. How could they be fake?"
"Didn't the intelligence say that Qingzhong and his wife were both infected with the virus? How come they're here perfectly fine?"
No matter how terrified the enemy was, Fang Qingdai, whose strength was waning, dared not delay any longer, fearing that things might change if she was too late.
She looked at Jing Yi, who immediately set off, personally restrained Li Weidong, tied him up, and brought him back to the team at the Oasis base.
With their commander captured, the Xuanwu Base team, whose confidence had just been rekindled, collapsed once again. After several unsuccessful attempts to approach the Oasis Base team and to rescue Li Weidong, the Xuanwu Base team finally fled in disarray.
Fang Qingdai watched the enemy's retreating figure before her eyes rolled back and she fainted!
When she woke up again, she was back at the Oasis base.
Before she could fully regain her senses, Fang Qingdai struggled to sit up in bed.
Only after her gaze met Jing Yi sitting beside her did she slowly pull herself out of the nightmare.
Looking at Fang Qingdai, whose face was pale and who looked exhausted, Jing Yi frowned slightly, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes: "Why didn't you rest a little longer?"
Fang Qingdai shook her head, took the water Jing Yi handed her and sipped it a few times before asking in a hoarse voice, "How's it going at the base?"
"The virus isn't spreading, but we haven't yet developed a drug to control it. The hospital's more than 400 patients have been relying on Grade A medications, but 68 of them have already succumbed..."
Fang Qingdai gasped.
Judging from the incidence of the virus, people with higher superpower levels have higher resistance to the virus, while ordinary people with low resistance die much earlier.
The superhumans at the Oasis Base are all elites with top-tier resistance, yet even so, sixty-eight of them still left!
The Oasis Base itself only has a little over 700 superhumans, so the deaths of these 68 people are a huge blow to the Oasis Base!
Fang Qingdai regained full consciousness and hurriedly asked, "Where's Li Weidong? Did you successfully bring him back?"
She was genuinely afraid.
Even with Li Weidong so badly injured, his subconscious was still driving him to escape. He was as tenacious as an unkillable cockroach, and his mind was as cunning as a honeycomb. Fang Qingdai was really afraid that he would cause some trouble while she was unconscious.
Fortunately, Jing Yi nodded: "Don't worry, the person has been brought back."
Fang Qingdai breathed a slight sigh of relief, but immediately asked anxiously, "Who is guarding him? How is he? Can they find out anything?"
Seeing that Fang Qingdai had been driven somewhat neurotic by Li Weidong, Jing Yi frowned deeply, his disgust for Li Weidong growing even stronger.
“My personal guards are watching over him, and Aunt Min is here too. He’s locked up in the dungeon. Aunt Ling went to check on him; he’s barely clinging to life, so we can’t question him yet. The dungeon has ten layers of defense. Xuanwu Base doesn’t have any space-age ability users like you, so there’s no way you could break in and rescue him.”
Jing Yi's men have risked their lives with him, and they come from the Vermilion Bird Base. They have no connection with the Black Tortoise Base, making them the most suitable team for the base chief to guard Li Weidong and the least likely to have spies among them.
With Mao Min, who harbors deep hatred for Li Weidong, watching over her, Fang Qingdai finally relaxed.
She sat up in bed: "I'll go see him."
Jing Yi couldn't dissuade her, so he could only help her to the dungeon.
Outside the dungeon, the two encountered Xiao Mao, who had been standing silently in the shadows for an unknown amount of time.
Fang Qingdai hadn't seen him for a long time and was a little worried, but when she saw the worry on his face, her expression darkened.
Are you worried about him?
Upon seeing that it was Fang Qingdai, Xiao Mao's worries instantly vanished: "Sister!"
"Why would I worry about him? I worry about you, my mom, my aunt, Xuan Liuxuan, I worry about so many things. What is he anyway!"
Fang Qingdai was relieved to see the obvious disgust in his expression.
"Then what are you doing here?"
Xiao Mao lowered his eyes: "I heard that Xuan Liu and Xuan Ba are imprisoned here. I want to go and see them."
Xuan Ba betrayed them long ago, and Xuan Liu was also sent in a couple of days ago.
Xiao Mao is a sensitive and sentimental person. He gets upset and wants an answer, which Fang Qingdai understands.
"Go ahead, I'll come find you after I've seen Li Weidong."
The group walked into the dungeon together.
Fang Qingdai arrived at the cell door where Li Weidong was imprisoned and, without saying a word, waved her hand to create a spatial barrier!
Under Jing Yi's surprised gaze, Fang Qingdai explained, "A mental barrier. With this barrier in place, no one can kidnap Li Weidong."
“In the future, if I need to deliver food or conduct interrogations, I will need to personally remove the barrier. I would rather go through the trouble than leave any potential problems.”
Jing Yi nodded, and then Fang Qingdai led him into the prison cell.
