After breakfast, Gu Shaoze prepared several bottles of water and a bag of crystal cores for the Rong siblings.
He held his girlfriend’s hand and said, "Mo’er, be careful when you go out. Remember, no matter what the situation is, your safety comes first."
"I understand," Rong Mo’er nodded. After a brief pause, she added, "You have to be careful too."
"Okay."
After exchanging a few more words, they left the house together but went in opposite directions. The Rong siblings reported to the base’s mission hall, while Gu Shaoze headed to the base’s gate to meet up with Xun Che’s team.
When he arrived at the base entrance, the sun had already risen on the eastern horizon. As he walked out of the base, he was surprised to see Xun Che present. Judging from his uniform, it seemed that he planned to join them on this mission.
Noticing him walking over, Xun Che smiled and said, "Good morning, Comrade Gu."
Gu Shaoze looked around for a moment before he asked, "Captain Xun, are you coming with us?"
Xun Che nodded and said, "I will go there to check the situation and return with the first team."
Hearing his words and seeing the number of soldiers, Gu Shaoze had a guess in his mind but said nothing. After they finished the final preparations, Xun Che said, "Everyone, it’s time to depart!"
The soldiers boarded the trucks and cars at his order. The trucks would be used to transport grains, while the cars were used to accommodate the soldiers and space-type ability-users.
After several rounds of recruitment, they managed to recruit a total of seventeen space-type ability-users. Twelve were from the military, and five were commoners who had recently awakened their abilities.
With soldiers keeping an eye on them, they wouldn’t be able to escape with the supplies or take part of them, as each load would be weighed and listed before being given to them.
While this put a lot of pressure on the ability-users and strained the relationship between the base and the space-type users due to a lack of trust, they couldn’t completely trust those who came from among the commoners.
As for the ability-users from the military, they were fully trusted and did not face such restrictions.
After the team boarded the vehicles, they departed from the base. Standing atop the wall, Wen Hanli watched them leave until they disappeared from view before returning to the office.
Without the captain, all responsibilities fell on his shoulders. It seemed he would have to work overtime for several days again.
At the same time, in the mission hall, Rong Mo’er and Rong Qinyu stood to the side and waited with other ability-users. When the others saw them, they sized them up closely.
