Fang Qingdai proposed leaving the base with Jing Yi to develop her career, which truly surprised Jing Yi!
Even if he is a level seven ability user, and even if his subordinates are all highly capable, this group of people only went out to find a new place to live because they were forced to have no other choice.
You should know that danger lurks everywhere in the wasteland.
Beneath the seemingly calm sand dunes, a fanged beast or a mutated plant that feeds on flesh and blood might leap out at any moment!
Even if one has the ability to house strange beasts, the harsh environment is the most difficult obstacle to overcome.
How will the water supply for the new dwelling be secured? How will food be provided? How can a safe haven be built to withstand severe weather and mutated flora and fauna?
Jing Yi always knew that even if they moved away from the base, he would still need to send people to the base regularly to purchase supplies and bring back necessities such as medicines and nutrients.
He really couldn't understand why Fang Qingdai, who was able to stay safely under the protection of the base, would have the idea of leaving the base.
Fang Qingdai couldn't explain to him how free, safe, and fair the country she had once lived in.
She could only offer the excuse: "I suspect my parents' disappearance is related to Al-Qaeda."
Jing Yi was surprised; he didn't know about Fang Qingdai's parents.
Fang Qingdai gave a brief explanation, and Jing Yi immediately noticed many suspicious points in it.
He looked at Fang Qingdai with sympathy, unsure how to comfort her.
Fang Qingdai added, "And I myself am, cough, a space ability user! I'm also worried that if I'm exposed, I'll be captured and used for research!"
Jing Yi nodded, indicating that he understood Fang Qingdai.
But he still tried to persuade me: "You can stay in the base. I promise to protect you for three years. I will be available whenever you need me during these three years. If you are careful, you should not be discovered."
After all, given Fang Qingdai's cautious attitude in the high-radiation zone, she could indeed hide very well if she wanted to.
"As for your parents, I'll have them inquire about it when I meet with my teammates."
"But... don't get your hopes up too high. One reason is that we're now cut off from the base's higher-ups and information is scarce. Another is that your parents have been missing for quite some time..."
Fang Qingdai felt a stab in her heart; it was the emotion left behind by the original owner.
She has always been obsessed with finding her parents.
Fang Qingdai paused, then sighed helplessly.
It was indeed difficult to ascertain Jing Yi's current situation, and Fang Qingdai was not one to place her hopes on just one person. After thinking for a moment, she decided to try looking for a way out within the Xuanwu Base.
Anyway, even if we were to move, it wouldn't be something we could just do on a whim in the short term.
How many members of Jingyi's team are still alive, whether they can reunite, and even if they do, whether they can establish a new safe haven outside the base are all questions.
"I'll go to the nearest location tomorrow and try to find someone for you."
Jing Yi felt a surge of heat in his heart.
Fang Qingdai was clearly his savior, and he already owed her a great deal.
But even though he hasn't given anything in return yet, Fang Qingdai is willing to continue helping him. This kind of enthusiasm is rare in the wasteland!
These sisters are both kind and pure-hearted people!
Fang Qingdai had no idea what he was thinking, otherwise she would have been so embarrassed that she would have scratched her toes on the ground.
She did it purely for her own future comfort, to fulfill the original owner's wishes, and for points...
The next morning, Fang Qingdai quietly left the shantytown, avoiding even acquaintances.
I'm mainly going out by myself; if I don't take Qingluan to Uncle Lu's house, it might arouse suspicion.
But Fang Qingdai didn't know that even though she was being extra careful to avoid people, she was still seen by Wang Fang, who had been on a mission with her.
She left the shack area and walked for a while, making sure there was no one around before quickly taking out her sand car.
After receiving the dune buggy last time, Fang Qingdai deliberately asked Zhang Chengjie to teach her how to drive it on the way back.
It's not difficult to operate.
Fang Qingdai drove the sand truck at high speed in the direction provided by Jing Yi. The journey was exceptionally smooth, without encountering any strange beasts or plants blocking the way. She arrived at Linguan City at noon that day.
Lin Guan City is an abandoned city, not abandoned in the 21st century, but abandoned by the Xuanwu Base 30 years ago.
Thirty years ago, quicksand whirlpools frequently appeared around Linguan City, and people could easily be swept into them if they weren't careful.
The quicksand vortex has an extremely strong suction force and can move, causing extensive damage to buildings within the city of Linguan.
Unable to resolve the quicksand vortex problem, the Xuanwu Base had no choice but to abandon this stronghold.
Fang Qingdai put away the car and left cautiously.
The quicksand vortex still appears occasionally, making it difficult to prevent.
The defensive walls of Linguan City were also largely destroyed by the quicksand vortex, so Fang Qingdai didn't even need to find the city gate; she simply entered the city through the collapsed wall.
Upon entering the city, Fang Qingdai frowned deeply.
It was so desolate. One-third of the town was buried by yellow sand, and the buildings that were exposed in the sand had also been abandoned and collapsed over the past thirty years. The whole town was so quiet that it seemed to be isolated from the world!
In a place like this, even strange beasts passing by wouldn't bother to come in and take a look!
However, it must be admitted that even if it is abandoned to this extent, it is still more time-saving and labor-saving than building a new residence from scratch.
The prerequisite is that you can tolerate the disturbance of the quicksand vortex...
Just as she feared, Fang Qingdai had been searching in the city for a while when she suddenly felt a slight tremor in the sandy ground!
She paused, her whole body instantly on alert.
Carefully sensing the direction from which the tremor was coming, Fang Qingdai suddenly turned her head and saw a rotating sand pit slowly moving closer.
From a distance, the whirlpool appeared to be moving very slowly, and apart from causing a slight tremor, it seemed to pose no other danger.
But as the sand dune approached the building, Fang Qingdai watched helplessly as the already dilapidated building began to shake, making a loud "rumbling" sound!
The suction of the quicksand vortex was extremely strong. It held the building in place for a mere three seconds before finally giving way and collapsing with a crash!
That is, after the building collapsed, Fang Qingdai finally faced the suction force of the quicksand vortex head-on!
The building wreckage was instantly crushed and pulverized! Some was sucked into the sand and buried underground, while others were swept away!
Just moments ago, the sand dunes looked peaceful, but now they are sweeping in, leaving behind a trail of building debris, creating a deafening roar and sending rocks flying everywhere they go!
Fang Qingdai looked grim and, not daring to wait any longer, abruptly slipped into the space.
Fang Qingdai waited in the space until the quicksand vortex swept past before reappearing.
The city of Linguan was in even greater chaos and ruin. Fang Qingdai sighed, thinking that Jing Yi's team members probably wouldn't stay here to wait.
The reason why Jingyi's team chose Linguan City as one of their backup new residences was simply because it had a basic structure. Since everyone was new to the area, they could make some repairs and settle down.
But it seems that things are not as simple as they seem. If Jingyi's team members had been there and seen those quicksand vortexes, they would probably have chosen to give up as well.
With that thought in mind, Fang Qingdai turned around and prepared to return home.
This time, Fang Qingdai chose to leave through the main gate, because it was in the direction from which the quicksand vortex was leaving.
As soon as Fang Qingdai reached the city gate, she saw a striking character sprayed on the gate with special paint!
