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 District 1.
Cheng Wenxiu was not surprised to see Li Cang coming over. He took out a box of crystal cores he had prepared in advance and pushed it 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 four mutant when he went to Base No. 1. How could he be laughed at by those people!
Cheng Wenxiu hesitated several times, as if he had made a great decision before speaking out: "This is also because I am useless, godfather. I actually let the thief steal 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 had said, the thief had stolen the items during the zombie siege. To be able to steal nearly half of the items without being discovered right under everyone's noses, how terrifying must his strength be. "Could it be someone with the ability to become invisible?"
Cheng Wenxiu shook his head slowly. "No, no one person can be that fast. I've interrogated all the people with invisibility abilities in the base, and none of them are. I even asked a forensic doctor to perform an autopsy, and the conclusion is that it was most likely stolen by someone with both plant-based and invisibility abilities, or perhaps it was a gang crime. The person with the invisibility ability is very powerful, powerful enough to protect another plant-based person."
After 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 abilities, he had never heard of anyone with dual special abilities.
"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 even 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 yet when you go back. I'll send someone to spread the news that you have a large number of crystal cores. Protect yourself and treat this as a training exercise. With great power comes great responsibility. I'm not young anymore, and this position needs someone new who can withstand the test!"
Li Cang's smile froze for a moment, then returned to normal. He was being used as bait. He dismissed the rest of the story as bullshit. His godfather was only in his early forties, appearing honest and conscientious, but in reality, he was incredibly ambitious. He wouldn't step down as deputy base commander until he'd held the position for decades.
As a seasoned veteran, 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, he's going to be promoted to level four! As expected, I still want to find a godfather!"
The base has an internet connection, and Xia Guang created countless small accounts and mingled in various groups, so he could always find out what was going on 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 saw that there was indeed a real crystal core inside.
But what does it have to do with her? Let them upgrade. 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 make things a little more difficult for them.
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, replaced by a heavy box containing crystal cores.
On the other side, Li Cang had just put down his phone and casually glanced at the location of the crystal core, but found that the thing was no longer there. There was only a big red sweater that he had never seen before!
He strode in disbelief to where the box was, and nervously picked up the sweater, but there was nothing underneath.
He even suspected that he had misplaced the location, and searched the room several times before giving up. He hesitantly picked up his phone and sent a message to Cheng Wenxiu.
In the space, Pu Zhi only took five minutes to absorb all the crystal cores in the box, leaving behind half a box of ash and a box containing a locator.
She hadn't looked closely just now, but now that she had it in her hands, she realized it contained a locator the size of a grain of rice. However, she was in a space, so this thing was useless to her.
She took out the locator from the box, placed it between her thumb and index finger, and squeezed it hard. The locator was immediately crushed 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 for this. Have you noticed any movement over there?
Li Cang: No, but a sweater appeared out of thin air where I placed the crystal core.
Cheng Wenxiu: Sweater?
: They are cautious enough. No fingerprints can be extracted and the infrared sensor device does not detect anyone. It may 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 wanted to say that the crystal core was gone, so how could he upgrade? He typed something and wanted to send it out, but in the end deleted it all.
My godfather’s interests come first. I haven’t completed this mission and have lost so many crystal cores. If I go to ask for them again, he will definitely make excuses for me. 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 fighting with others at Base No. 1 flashed through his mind.
