On the day Zhao Wei's stronghold was completely wiped out, Old Li happened to crack open Zhao Wei's box.
When he came to find Fang Qingdai wearing a helmet, Jing Yi, who was returning to base with his team, happened to hand him the helmet.
Fang Qingdai glanced at the two helmets and said calmly, "Destroy them."
Old Li was taken aback: "Don't we need it ourselves?"
Fang Qingdai looked at him: "What will it be used for?"
Old Li thought for a moment and said, "Interrogating prisoners should be quite useful. Also, isn't He Tingguang in your hands? Extracting his memories would be beneficial to our development."
Fang Qingdai remained silent for a while before slowly asking, "Do you need it?"
Old Li was stunned. He thought for a moment, then firmly shook his head: "I don't need it."
He doesn't care for this kind of "gift of charity," and he doesn't understand that knowledge only has meaning if you conquer it little by little yourself, so that you can use it skillfully and truly understand it.
What if the memory you copied and pasted was incorrect? What if the memories were incompatible?
Nothing feels as reliable as something you learn yourself.
He was just worried about the development of the base, and his first reaction was to bring the good stuff home so that he could give it to the other team members if he didn't need it himself.
But after Fang Qingdai asked him that question, Old Li understood.
He was unwilling to accept charity, and the other team members with backbone and independent thinking naturally wouldn't either.
If you give this opportunity to someone who lacks integrity and only wants to gain without effort, they might use that knowledge to do evil.
Therefore, this memory retrieval function cannot be used.
As for interrogating prisoners, Fang Qingdai can use her mental power to do so.
But Mr. Li was a little reluctant to destroy the helmet.
He suggested, "Can we not destroy it for now? I'm very curious about its principles and would like to study it."
Fang Qingdai nodded: "Please feel free to do as you please, just keep it safe."
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
These technological oasis bases are unlikely to be used, nor will they be used for human experiments related to the "god-making project."
However, understanding its principles is essential. At the very least, if Oasis Base encounters similar technology again, it will be able to cope and will not be caught off guard.
Old Li took the helmet away to study it, while Fang Qingdai took stock of the team and set off together with the Qinglong Base to get rid of Li Weidong, this cancer.
After two days of marching, the wasteland began to change.
The golden sand turned black, the air became humid, and after walking a short distance, you could see the haze floating in the air, which clearly indicated high pollution levels.
Fang Qingdai took the pollution testing instrument and found that after entering the polluted area, the pollution level had soared from level three to level five in just over ten minutes.
This place is no longer suitable for human habitation.
Fang Qingdai was very curious about how Li Weidong managed to build his stronghold in such an area.
As you walk further in, the air becomes increasingly humid. Although you can't smell anything in the space, you can tell from the sound of the surging waves that it must be enveloped in the salty smell of the sea.
The polluted seawater might even have a foul odor?
When the team reached the vicinity of the location indicated by Li Weidong's positioning, the miasma in the air was so thick that it was almost impossible to see the road.
Fang Qingdai looked out through the spatial barrier. The rocky area was shrouded in black mist. She spread out her mental energy to search, but found no man-made structures or living creatures on the surface.
She tried to probe the ground with her mental energy, but found that an invisible layer of substance blocked her mental energy, making it impossible for her to probe.
The tracking device on Li Weidong was nearby, but she couldn't detect it with her mental energy. The key issue was that the pollution level outside had reached an alarming level nine, making it impossible for the team members to go out and conduct a manual search!
"With such a high level of contamination, even if their bases are perfectly isolated from the pollution, how did they get in?"
Even the highest level of protective clothing can't prevent level 9 contamination.
Fang Qingdai thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up and met Jing Yi's gaze.
The two quickly realized that Li Weidong and his men must have built a passage with the entrance in the outer area where the pollution level was low, so that they could safely pass through the polluted area and reach their base.
Fang Qingdai led her team out of the highly polluted area and searched the area with low pollution levels with her mental energy for a long time, but still found nothing.
"Let the team go out and conduct a thorough search. The pollution level in this area is not high, and they will be fine if they wear protective suits."
Fang Qingdai nodded, and after the team members took proper protective measures, they left the space together.
The team members spread out and searched among the rocks for possible hidden entrances.
After searching for twenty minutes, we still found nothing, and the search area has expanded to a radius of three kilometers!
Just as Fang Qingdai was about to think of other solutions, she suddenly heard her team members exclaim, "There's a strange beast!"
Fang Qingdai looked with sharp eyes and saw a dark mass of strange beasts pressing towards the group in the distance!
Fang Qingdai possessed keen spiritual power and could see clearly through the thick black mist that the large group of strange beasts were all legless sea monsters. Each one was clumsy and enormous, with rotting flesh and blood all over its body, and a strong stench of decay rose into the sky!
Their eyes were bloodshot, and the sight of so many live prey drove them into a frenzy!
Moreover, there were so many strange beasts that they surrounded the group in the blink of an eye, and the strong stench of decay could make anyone dizzy.
Fang Qingdai's heart sank: "Can strange beasts survive in highly polluted seawater?"
Jing Yi frowned as well: "It looks like a zombie-like beast. The degree of mutation is too high. The virus it carries is also a weapon."
He shouted the order: "Retreat! Avoid contact with these beasts!"
These alien beasts are like biological weapons; you don't even want to fight them, you'd be worried about getting infected if they got close.
No wonder no base has ever set foot in this area; not only is the environment harsh, but it also harbors so many monsters.
How exactly did Li Weidong manage to establish his stronghold in such an environment?
Just as I was thinking of Li Weidong, I heard a familiar voice coming from the hazy black fog.
"Since you've come all this way, why are you leaving?"
Fang Qingdai's mental energy immediately locked onto him, passing through the black mist, and she saw Li Weidong in a protective suit.
He seemed to know that Fang Qingdai was watching him; a cold, fierce light flashed in his eyes, and a cruel smile slowly curved his lips.
"Little ones, take good care of our guests who have come from afar!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sea monsters seemed to understand, and their attack became even more ferocious!
Some team members tripped over rocks during their retreat and were quickly pounced on by sea monsters. Their protective suits were no match for their sharp fangs.
The team members whose protective suits were torn off got their skin covered in the slime from the sea monsters, and soon large areas of ulceration and pus appeared!
Fang Qingdai pulled the team members into the space in time, but team members continued to fall one after another.
The team was too spread out while searching for the entrance, and the sudden appearance of the sea monster made it impossible for the team to regroup immediately!
