Xiao Teng also surprised Fang Qingdai greatly!
Jing Yi led his men to clear the passages in and out of the oasis, hoping to transfer resources and manpower from Lin Guan City.
Little Vine couldn't stay still. Once released, it followed everyone around. When it saw that Jing Yi and the others wanted to deal with the mutated plants on the road, it took the lead and rushed out!
Animals might have some trouble fighting plants, but when plants fight each other, they are more aware of each other's weaknesses and are not afraid of each other's poisonous attacks.
Taking advantage of its size, the little vine rampaged through the area, crushing ordinary mutated plants into mud. For the more powerful ones, it would tightly entangle them, making it difficult for Jing Yi and his group to attack.
With the help of Xiao Teng, the crowd cleared the way very smoothly.
When one-third of the process had been completed on the oasis side, news came from the border city.
"The third brother said there's been some activity on the channel over the secret passage these past two days. It seems someone is repairing the passage, and it's possible that members of that organization will be heading to Linguan City!"
Fang Qingdai was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood.
"Since Lab 12 has been exposed, they will probably abandon it and use the old lab as a temporary solution until other labs are built."
"Lin Guan City is far from populated areas. They just experienced an exposure and prison break, so it's normal for them to want to move to a deserted place."
Fortunately, they were quick and successfully captured the Immortal Burial Oasis. Otherwise, everyone would be like stray dogs, retreating into the wilderness, homeless and constantly worried about being discovered by hostile organizations.
"The third brother has already had all the supplies packed up. We need to go back and pick up the people."
Fang Qingdai nodded and said, "Okay, let's go pick them up today to avoid them running into us because they're going too fast. We should also clean up their tracks to prevent them from being targeted."
After discussing it, the two immediately took action.
As they approached Linguan City, fearing exposure, Fang Qingdai simply put away the sand cart and led Jing Yi to sneak over in the space.
But as soon as they reached the city wall of Linguan, they saw two furtive figures.
Fang Qingdai hurriedly floated over to inquire.
"There's no way anyone would stay here. Those wilderness bandits might stay temporarily, but who would stay permanently in a godforsaken place like Linguan City?"
"The organization is just paranoid; that secret passage was clearly destroyed by the quicksand vortex..."
Fang Qingdai's eyes flickered as she recalled the time when the Xuanwu No. 4 base encountered a beast tide, and Zhu Lingfeng took advantage of the chaos to abduct many test subjects. The people waiting outside were disguised as wilderness bandits to pick them up.
Jing Yi and his group met those people, and to avoid suspicion, they pretended to be bandits from the wilderness temporarily staying in Linguan City.
It seems that the organization, seeing the damaged passage, became suspicious out of caution.
The two dared not wait any longer and hurriedly returned to their underground base, packing all the people and supplies into their spatial storage.
Looking at the overly clean and tidy underground stronghold with brand-new materials, Jing Yi frowned and said, "This place cannot be kept; it must be destroyed."
If that organization were to relocate to Linguan City, they would surely discover this underground dwelling.
Although the place was deserted, their suspicious nature meant they could probably guess that the people living there had already discovered the location of the abandoned laboratory and found the entrance to the passage.
To avoid any potential problems, their decision to give up moving here is a minor matter; what they fear most is that the authorities will relentlessly investigate.
Although the Oasis is relatively safe, and the strange occurrences there have been resolved and haven't spread, it shouldn't be possible for them to trace it back to the Oasis.
But what if?
Fang Qingdai didn't like leaving herself any potential problems.
Thinking of this, she called over Cat and several wind-type ability users, asking them to work together to change the course of the quicksand vortex.
After drawing in the quicksand vortex, the metal-type ability user destroyed the underground base's defenses, leaving the base to be ravaged and destroyed by the vortex amplified by the cat.
Without the reinforcement of the metal-type ability user, and with the cat deliberately guiding the sandstorm to attack the weak points, the stronghold was quickly destroyed beyond recognition by the quicksand vortex!
Anyone who comes to see this place will not doubt that people lived here before!
After cleaning up, Fang Qingdai led everyone away, hiding in the space.
Fearing encounters with other scouting teams on the way, Fang Qingdai didn't leave her spatial dimension, instead manipulating it to move forward, intending to get further away before coming out.
The red fox eagerly approached, looking at Fang Qingdai with a fawning expression.
Fang Qingdai sighed and pointed to the jade artifacts isolated by the spatial barrier, asking, "If I give you two-thirds of it, can you break through to level eight?"
Fang Qingdai was very surprised. She guessed that the red fox's ability level was not low, but she did not expect that it was already at level seven.
It hadn't been long since it reached level seven, so it should have had a long time before it reached level eight.
However, not long ago, the paulownia tree absorbed the energy of the jade seal and gave back a huge boost. Not only did Fang Qingdai's retrospective energy surge, but the strength of the two beasts and one vine in her space also experienced a qualitative leap.
Before the cat could even ask, the little vine had visibly grown much larger, and the section of vine that had been scorched had already grown back.
Red Fox even declared that he's not far from reaching level eight!
Fang Qingdai couldn't help but chuckle to herself as she thought about it.
To be able to form a contract with an eighth-level alien beast, especially one that is elusive and unpredictable, a mental beast—just thinking about it is incredibly profitable!
That's why she was so generous, keeping only one-tenth of the jade artifacts for defense and giving the rest to the red fox.
Well, actually, the main reason is that paulownia wood isn't particularly interested in those small jade items...
Fang Qingdai presented these small jade artifacts. The wutong wood felt lazy and relaxed when you absorbed it, which was completely different from when you absorbed the jade seal before.
Like a picky eater reluctantly eating vegetables they don't like...
In that case, it would be better to give it to Red Fox for promotion.
The red fox nodded frantically, its eyes filled with longing as it looked at the jade.
Fang Qingdai simply put the red fox inside the barrier: "Go, Little Red, just leave me some for defense."
The red fox stumbled, then turned back to look at Fang Qingdai with a resentful expression.
Fang Qingdai smiled cheekily, letting the red fox break down her guard because of the way she addressed her.
Once they were far enough away from Lin Guan City, Fang Qingdai released the people, then took out a sand cart, and the group headed towards the Immortal Burial Oasis.
The two places are far apart, and if she were to manipulate space all the way there, she would definitely get dizzy again.
She's been severely overworked these past few days cleaning up the palace complex; she feels like she's aged considerably from exhaustion.
Zhang Xin looked distressed and asked, "What happened? Is it unsettled over there? You look so tired."
Fang Qingdai sighed: "It's normal to be a little tired in the early stages because there are many things to do."
Qingzhong and Zhang Xin exchanged a glance, both of them looking at each other with heartache.
"Don't worry, Xiao Dai, your dad and I have almost recovered. If there's anything we need to do this time, just let us handle it. Don't always have to shoulder the burden yourself!"
"Me too, I can help too!" Qingluan immediately raised her hand to express her opinion.
Fang Qingdai smiled slowly and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Mom and Dad, you'll take care of things!"
