Chapter 85 The Crystal Core Delivered to Your Door
Li Cang almost fainted from anger, but luckily he still had a godfather. He must have turned around and went to Area 1.
Cheng Wenxiu was not surprised to see Li Cang coming over. He took out a box of crystal cores that he had prepared in advance and pushed them over.
"This mission was completed quite well. These are the rewards. My son cannot fall behind others."
Li Cang couldn't wait to open the box. Inside was a dazzling array of crystal cores of various colors. He couldn't wait to start absorbing the energy inside on the spot.
"Xiao Cang, godfather I originally planned to let you upgrade before this mission, but..." Cheng Wenxiu rubbed his eyebrows, looking quite troubled.
"Godfather, why don't you just say it directly? I will definitely help you if I can!" When Li Cang heard that the crystal core that was originally intended for him was stolen, he immediately hated that person. If the crystal core had not been stolen, he would have become a level 4 mutant when he went to Base No. 1. How could he be laughed at by those people!
Cheng Wenxiu hesitated for several times, as if he had made a great decision before speaking: "This is also because I am useless, the thief actually stole it right under my nose. On the third day of the zombie siege, we added infrared sensing equipment. You should have noticed that the second and third level zombie crystal cores were almost half gone!
But unfortunately, the thief was very cautious and did not appear again on the third day."
"Half is missing!" Li Cang exclaimed. From what his godfather said, the thief stole the items when the zombies attacked the city. How terrifying it must be to be able to steal nearly half of the items without being discovered under everyone's noses. "Could it be that he is an invisibility expert?"
Cheng Wenxiu shook his head slowly. "No, one person can't be that fast, and I have interrogated all the people with invisibility in the base, and none of them is. I also asked a forensic doctor to perform an autopsy, and the conclusion is that it was most likely stolen by someone with both plant and invisibility abilities, or it could be a gang crime, and the person with the invisibility ability is very powerful, powerful enough to protect another person with the plant ability."
Hearing this, Li Cang was more inclined to believe that it was a gang crime. Even in Base No. 1, which had three thousand people with special powers, he had never heard of anyone with dual special powers.
"Don't worry, godfather. I will definitely help you find this thief and make him spit out all the crystal cores!"
Cheng Wenxiu did not really believe Li Cang's assurance. He could not catch this man even though he controlled most of the base. It was even more impossible for Li Cang, a simple-minded guy, to do so. He only believed in himself.
He stood up and patted Li Cang's shoulder in a friendly manner: "Good boy, I believe in you. Don't absorb the crystal cores when you go back. I will send people to spread the news that you have a large number of crystal cores. Protect yourself and treat it as an experience. With great ability comes great responsibility. I am not young anymore. This position needs newcomers who can stand the test!"
Li Cang's smile froze for a moment, then returned to normal. It turned out that he was being used as bait. As for the rest of the words, he took them all as farts. His godfather was only in his early forties. On the surface, he was honest and conscientious, but in fact, he was ambitious. He would never give up the position of deputy base commander before sitting for decades.
As a seasoned man, Cheng Wenxiu naturally did not miss the fleeting expression on Li Cang's face, but so what? He would still do as he was asked. That was enough.

Second team villa.
Xia Guang was gossiping in the hall with his phone in hand: "Li Cang got a crystal core from the deputy base commander, and he's going to be promoted to level 4! As expected, I still want to find a godfather!"
The base has internet access, and Xia Guang created countless small accounts and mingled in various groups, so he could know any news in time.
For example, half an hour ago, Li Cang had points but could not exchange them for enough crystal cores.
Zhao Yunyao didn't care about this and was happily teasing Xiao Ren. Li Cang had power and strength, so it was normal for him to upgrade.
Pu Zhi was reading the book casually, but his eyes were actually already near Villa No. 1.
At this moment, Li Cang happened to drive back, holding a box. Pu Zhi moved his eyes slightly and found that there was indeed a real crystal core inside.
But what does it have to do with her? Let them upgrade if they want. Anyway, she has upgraded everyone except Qingyin.
However, she noticed that several infrared cameras and sensing devices had been secretly added to the buildings near Villa No. 1.
It seems that the authorities still want to arrest me, but unfortunately they are destined to fail.
I might as well give them some trouble.
At night, Pu Zhi went to see Li Cang out of boredom. He stared at the crystal core greedily, but could not absorb it.
After monitoring for a while, she saw Li Cang open his mobile phone and send a message to his godfather.
：The person hasn’t arrived yet.
Soon the other side replied to continue waiting.
In the space, Pu Zhi picked up a black and gold exchange card with his right hand, and casually picked up a men's sweater with his left hand.
use--
As the card disappeared, the men's sweater disappeared, and was replaced by a heavy box containing crystal cores.
On the other side, Li Cang had just put down his mobile phone and casually glanced at the location of the crystal core, but found that the thing was no longer there. There was only a bright red sweater that he had never seen before!
He strode to the box in disbelief and nervously picked up the sweater, but there was nothing underneath.
He even suspected that he might have remembered the wrong location. He searched the room several times before giving up and hesitantly picked up his phone to send a message to Cheng Wenxiu.
In the space, Pu Zhi took only five minutes to absorb all the crystal cores in the box, leaving behind half a box of ash and a box containing a locator.
I didn't look at it carefully just now, but now that I have it in my hand, I realize that there is a rice-sized locator inside. But since I am in the space, this thing is useless to me.
She took out the locator from the box, placed it between her thumb and index finger, and squeezed it hard. The locator burst immediately and shattered beyond repair.
After absorbing it, she peeped with interest at how Li Cang reported it.
: Something is missing...
Cheng Wenxiu: I see. The locator has no signal. It seems that the person has been prepared. Have you noticed any movement over there?
Li Cang: No, but a sweater appeared out of nowhere where I placed the crystal core.
Cheng Wenxiu: Sweater?
: They were cautious enough. No fingerprints could be extracted and the infrared sensor did not detect anyone. It might be a supernatural power similar to exchange. Their gang is more difficult to deal with than we thought.
: This mission ends here for now. You just came back, so take a good rest first.
Li Cang frowned. He thought, the crystal core is gone, how can he upgrade? He typed something and wanted to send it out, but finally deleted it all.
My godfather’s interests come first. This mission was not completed and so many crystal cores were lost. If I go to ask for them again, he will definitely make excuses. Instead of losing face and asking others for help, it is better for me to become stronger!
After making up his mind, he turned off his phone and lay down on the bed tiredly. Scenes of the battle with others at Base No. 1 kept coming to his mind.
