The old lord pondered for a long time, his expression showing some difficulty.
Fang Qingdai understood. Apart from those like her who screened people from the beginning, other forces would have some unruly and morally questionable individuals.
Especially since this is a wasteland, morality is negligible, and many people follow the evil in their nature to do things.
There must be quite a few bad elements in the Dune territory; it remains to be seen how the old lord will choose.
Fang Qingdai added, "For a tree to grow lush and verdant, it cannot have insects damaging its root system. You are a smart person; you should look to the future."
"We have other things to do, so we'll leave now and come back to visit later."
This means giving the old lord enough time to consider.
The old lord sighed and saw Fang Qingdai and her party off from the sand dunes.
Upon returning, he immediately convened a meeting, gathering the key figures in the dunes to discuss the future of the dunes.
After Fang Qingdai and the others left, they first went to do the task that Xiao Mao and the others had taken on, and then stopped to discuss how to get resources.
Jing Yi had been thinking of solutions all the way, and now he had a plan in mind: "I left a hidden contact at the Suzaku base. It's no problem for him to help me get a batch of supplies, but if there are too many supplies, it will likely attract attention."
If we want to protect that underground supply line, we have to gather resources slowly.
Fang Qingdai immediately said, "The base has enough supplies right now, so there's no need for large-scale replenishment. Let's get whatever we can."
This time, we only came to the Suzaku base thinking of getting some supplies from here to ease the pressure on Xiao Mao and the others. We haven't reached the point where we're desperately needing supplies to save our lives.
But Jing Yi shook his head: "No, let him do it. It doesn't matter if he makes a fuss. I'm planning to withdraw this line."
Fang Qingdai frowned: "Why are you leaving?"
Jing Yi left in such a sorry state; it must have been difficult to protect a secret network under those circumstances. So why would he consider leaving now that everything is calm and peaceful?
"That undercover agent is now working in the logistics department of the Suzaku base."
Fang Qingdai's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down and advised, "Don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Staying in the logistics department will likely be more useful in the future."
For example, Huang Guang's supply line in the Xuanwu Logistics Department is now able to produce a batch of abandoned defensive equipment and vehicles every month.
Xiao Mao and his group obtained many of their supplies through that supply line.
The Suzaku base can simply do what the Xuanwu base did: quietly collect some scrap materials.
Seeing Fang Qingdai's worry, Jing Yi slightly curled the corners of his mouth and comforted her, "It's okay. I don't want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. I'm just planning to use this incident to replace the informant."
He carefully explained his arrangements to Fang Qingdai.
The person who stayed in the logistics department of the Vermilion Bird Base was the adopted younger brother of the third member of Jing Yi's team.
Outsiders were unaware of their relationship, so that person was not affected after Jing Yi's accident.
However, Jing Yi didn't have the space, and the Oasis Base was quite far from the Vermilion Bird Base. Even if the hidden agents he left behind managed to gather some supplies in a scattered manner, like those at the Black Tortoise Base, it wouldn't be convenient for Jing Yi to come and transport them away.
Supplies were difficult to obtain, and it was hard to get information even if they were kept in the logistics department, so this line of communication was actually not very useful.
"There's a mole planted in the headquarters of the Superpowered Group in the Dunes. He's an unknown, invisible person. This time, I'll have my informant make a big fuss. Once he leaves with a large amount of supplies, I'll have the informant in the Dunes report the news."
In this way, while Jingyi's informant is rendered useless, it also allows them to push the other side of the sand dunes up.
Fang Qingdai immediately realized: "If Sha Qiu comes with us, it will cause quite a stir. Are you worried that the informant Sha Qiu left behind will be investigated, so you put a safety shield on him in advance?"
"Yes, he first used the logistics department incident to warm up his public profile, and then used the news from the dunes to gain trust. That was enough to make him stand out."
Once the undercover agents emerge and become active within the superpowered group, the information gathered later will be more comprehensive and useful.
Sacrifice the pawn to save the king.
It must be said that Jing Yi is very bold.
Before Dune could respond, he was certain that Dune would leave with them and would be of one mind with them.
For this, he even abandoned the secret network he had painstakingly protected and pushed the people in the sand dunes up.
But Fang Qingdai didn't think he was taking too much of a risk.
Fang Qingdai wasn't a timid person at heart; otherwise, she would have stayed obediently at the Xuanwu Base, just loafing around and waiting to die. Why would she have created a new base?
Jingyi's seemingly risky actions were based on the attitude of the people on the other side of the sand dunes.
As Fang Qingdai said, the old lord of Sand Dune is a smart man, and their current situation is not very optimistic. With such a stable way out, what reason would he have to refuse?
His willingness to assist Jing Yi in seeking revenge shows that he lacked the ability to lead troops, not the ambition or courage.
Since you have the spirit, you won't be held back by the parasites in your team.
Even if the wasteland has no moral compass, the inherent goodness of human nature can still make people sense good and evil. The old lord isn't blinded by greed and can't see the wickedness of those parasites.
He will definitely be able to make a decision.
Since that's the case, the people of Sand Dune will be their people sooner or later, so there's no harm in using them now.
Fang Qingdai nodded: "Okay, as long as you have a plan, then we'll sneak into the Vermilion Bird Base to pick up the supplies after you've made the arrangements."
Jing Yi nodded and turned to make the arrangements.
After Xiao Mao and the others finished their mission, Jing Yi also gave them a reply.
"At 10 p.m., the two of us will infiltrate the Suzaku base to assist him in his operation."
Fang Qingdai could empty a warehouse by herself; the two of them would be more than enough.
Fang Qingdai nodded and asked, "Have you arranged how to wrap things up?"
It's impossible to just move everything and run.
This would leave too much of a trace of a space-type ability user, so some false clues must be left behind. Even if the other party cannot be completely convinced, they must be misled.
After all, there are only a few space-type ability users in the wasteland so far. Although Fang Qingdai has faked her death, it is still better to be cautious just in case.
Jing Yi nodded: "Make use of that organization's methods."
Fang Qingdai's eyes lit up, and the same cunning gleamed in their eyes as they looked at each other.
After discovering the tunnel in Linguan City, Jing Yi had his undercover agents continue to explore. A few days ago, they discovered an abandoned laboratory of that organization in this area, and along the way, they found the tunnel.
No wonder he wanted to dismantle the underground network; a large part of the reason was that the tunnels could serve as excellent cover, allowing him to obtain supplies while causing trouble for that organization.
After arranging their team members, the two sneaked into the Vermilion Bird Base at 10:00 sharp.
Jing Yi led the way to the logistics building of the Suzaku base and entered the warehouse through a pre-reserved door crack.
There were already people waiting in the warehouse, but the two still observed for about ten minutes, figuring out the terrain and monitoring, and only left the space after confirming that no one was watching them.
"Boss!" The man turned around when he heard the noise, and his eyes instantly welled up with tears when he saw Jing Yi.
Fang Qingdai's heart slowly relaxed.
