Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 427 - 299: Old Pan’s Kindness

Pan Yifu was taken aback upon hearing this, "Is it the Qian Duoduo Team supported by the Energy Block Alliance?"

Though he rarely interacted with the Pioneer Team, he was very informed, probably because Fat Fox’s people told him a lot.

"Is there a second Qian Duoduo?" Qu Jianlei retorted.

Pan Yifu pondered for a moment, then continued to ask, "Where are all these wounded?"

"Of course, they are on the Star Thief’s turf," Qu Jianlei responded solemnly, "I built a fairly large secret camp."

That explained it! Pan Yifu nodded slightly.

Honestly, upon hearing that Black Heaven had connections with Black Rain and Qian Duoduo, he felt a layer of apprehension.

Black Rain is a Celestial Level Team, with a Supreme in charge at their headquarters. Even though Qian Duoduo is only a Profound-level Team, they have the Energy Block Alliance backing them.

Pan Yifu, though quite independent, is well aware of how terrifying the Supreme is, and he definitely doesn’t want to provoke them.

Otherwise, when Meng Ningge colluded with the Star Thieves, he would’ve just taught them a lesson, because Meng Ningge has a Supreme grandfather!

He later blamed Youyou for Meng Ningge’s suicide.

After thinking it over, he spoke in a solemn voice, "Since that’s the case, I’ll give you some medicine."

Qu Jianlei looked at him suspiciously, "No way, when did you become so kind-hearted?"

You really have no respect! Pan Yifu rolled his eyes helplessly, "When have I ever had bad intentions?"

Qu Jianlei shook his head, "You even wanted to take back half a crystal, let me make it clear... I won’t pay for these medicines."

"I didn’t intend to charge you," Pan Yifu answered seriously, "I just see that you’re working hard and the wounded are pitiful, so I’m helping out."

"Alright," Qu Jianlei nodded, "Should I tell them the medicines are your support?"

Pan Yifu indeed had this thought but after thinking it over, he shook his head.

"Never mind, as long as you know. If they find out, they might make other requests, and I don’t want to deal with that."

"Okay," Qu Jianlei nodded again, then thought for a moment before asking, "Should we continue to clear out the military station?"

"Not in the short term," Pan Yifu shook his head, "I need to replenish my Qi as well, but you passed the test."

"Passed the test?" Qu Jianlei’s eyes widened.

"Yes, passed the test," Pan Yifu nodded, "Don’t you remember? I said this was also a test for you."

"Alright then," Qu Jianlei didn’t really care much about that, "Are we attacking the control center then?"

"Let’s wait a bit," Pan Yifu answered nonchalantly, "Let the Star Thieves worry for a while and see if they want to defend the military station."

That’s when Qu Jianlei realized that Old Pan’s relentless moves weren’t just whims.

He intended to hit the Star Thieves hard, forcing them to divide their attention for defense, thus reducing the guarding forces at the control center.

Anyway, Old Pan had invested a lot, and his ultimate goal aligned with the Pioneer Team’s objectives.

Qu Jianlei figured out the cause and effect and responded with a smile.

"We certainly hit them hard today, who knows how many survivors... Do we leave the Energy Blocks and food here?"

"Just leave them here," Pan Yifu nodded and then thought of another issue.

"With so many wounded, there should be some who can still move, right? Next time, bring more people to transport supplies. What do you think?"

Qu Jianlei thought about it and finally expressed his difficulty, "They are injured, not to mention their cultivation levels aren’t high."

"I’m not worried about them not being able to carry the stuff; the key is the risk during our attacks is very high."

Pan Yifu pondered and sighed helplessly, "Anyway, just ask them. It’s just a question, whether it works or not."

Meanwhile, in the wrecked military station, a group of Star Thieves was looking around at the devastation in a daze.

Qu Jianlei and Pan Yifu estimated a bit wrong; the explosion at the command room entrance did not injure the officers inside.

The room had an underground safe room, extending five or six meters deep, exceptionally sturdy. The commanders and herald soldiers managed to hide inside in time.

Though the explosion didn’t injure the commanders, the lack of oxygen caused by the thermobaric bomb and the high temperatures from the incendiary bullets made them suffer.

When the warehouse’s ammunition exploded, it triggered a new wave of disaster, ultimately resulting in two deaths.

Even though the commander was a B-level, with another B-level warrior by his side, they dared not show themselves.

They waited until daylight when it was certain the enemy had retreated before the commander emerged from the safe room.

In the morning light, he saw the catastrophic state of the military station, overwhelmed by grief, he burst into tears.

Star Thieves generally have hardened hearts, and it wouldn’t be expected for them to lose composure over such a small matter, but the sight was just too tragic.

Upon tallying the personnel, of the 4,000 plus at the military station, less than 800 survived.

This meant last night’s attack wiped out four-fifths of the lives, and critically... most of his trusted confidants were among the casualties.

Star Thieves typically gather in groups, and he was no exception. In fact, they were those he had rallied during his rise.

The loss of private forces is one thing, but the key is that the entire military station is destroyed.

The military station wasn’t his, but he put in a lot of effort running it, and it could basically be counted as his own division.

But now, everything is gone. The entire military station is nothing but ruins.

Guns, ammunition, oil energy blocks, food... everything, all gone.

While he was feeling dejected, the handset by his side rang—it was in an underground safe house and wasn’t destroyed.

It was a call from the higher-level military station, "How much is the loss?"

So you knew there would be substantial losses? The commander was speechless and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

However, he couldn’t complain; he dared not even expect support from the higher-level military station at night, clearly knowing the current situation. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

After adjusting for a while, he recounted the general situation.

The higher-level military station couldn’t believe its ears after hearing him, "So, the military station is completely destroyed?"

It was indeed completely scrapped, nothing was left, and less than eight hundred people survived, almost everyone was injured.

Those who acted, it’s confirmed that Pan Yifu and Black Heaven were there, but whether that Earth Attribute A-level was there is uncertain.

Just two people destroyed a military station; the result was truly unexpected.

However, some Star Thieves suggested that Black Heaven might actually be A-level instead of B-level, otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to unleash such powerful techniques.

But most Star Thieves scoff at this speculation; would the Imperial really let an A-level electromagnetic attribute warrior stay on Zarif?

Having just a B-level is surprising enough, right? And it’s very likely that this person advanced on Zarif Star.

To speak more extremely, even if Black Heaven is truly A-level, he must be a B-level.

Otherwise, the impact on military morale would be too much, and no one could bear the consequences.

Anyway, Pan Yifu and Black Heaven managed to take down a military station, forcing the Star Thieves to reassess the security of the rear.

Strictly speaking, it’s not unusual for an A-level warrior to fully erupt and take down a military station.

But this warrior would definitely pay a heavy price, mutual destruction is normal.

If you add a B-level with electromagnetic attributes, the cost might not be so great.

The two leisurely left in the end, even looted some supplies, indicating they really didn’t suffer much loss.

The Star Thieves were even somewhat puzzled by what might have stimulated Pan Yifu to make such costly and drastic actions?

The day after the military station was destroyed, its miserable state was secretly sent to the hands of commanders at various stations.

The headquarters made some suggestions, saying that Fire Attribute Techniques aside, the crux was underestimating electromagnetic techniques in the past.

They hoped that each military station would recognize the impact of electromagnetic techniques and protect related equipment as much as possible, not leaving opportunities for opponents.

As for whether to withdraw the troops sieging the Pioneers, it was said there were great divisions within the Star Thieves.

The division was so significant that it even reached the ears of bottom-level Star Thieves.

As a result, many small figures were privately discussing how certain leaders clashed, even physically fighting.

It’s no wonder the Star Thieves are known for their poor organization and discipline; indeed, that’s the case.

After experiencing this attack, Qu Jianlei was exhausted physically and mentally, returning to his secret camp for a full two days and nights of rest.

On the second night, he again went to the field hospital and placed several supplies five hundred meters away.

More people could participate this time, and it only took two hours for everyone to move all the supplies back.

Qian Duoduo’s Earth Attribute B-level hadn’t been idle recently, forcibly doubling the space of the secret camp.

And that’s not even the finish; he’s planning to double it again before stopping.

In his words, since it’s a hospital, there ought to be a good healing environment.

After all, there are some lightly injured people helping him, and the work intensity isn’t particularly high.

Now, the secret camp is a bit crowded, but it’s much more lively; the only concern is the lack of supplies, especially medicine.

The supplies Qu Jianlei brought back this time were very timely; not only did they include food and energy blocks, but also a large amount of medicine and equipment.

Energy blocks are as hard currency as they could be, and medicines and equipment equally so.

In the Pioneer camp, most medical equipment is self-made.

Self-made ones aren’t necessarily bad, but such finely made standard equipment brought back memories of past lives.

Mu Huahua happily inventoried the supplies, unable to resist asking, "Did you raid the Star Thief control zone?"

"No," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I collaborated with Pan Yifu and took down a mid-sized Star Thief military station."

"What?" Mu Huahua almost thought she heard wrong. Taking down a military station is even harder than raiding a control zone.

Even if it was just a mid-sized military station, there were at least several thousand Star Thieves.
