Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 428 - 300: This Is Sincerity

Qu Jianlei, although preferring to keep a low profile, didn’t intend to hide it either. Since it’s a morale-boosting message, why not say it?

Even if he didn’t say it, news would eventually come from the Star Thieves, so why keep it under wraps?

However, he didn’t go into great detail, not even specifying whether Wen Xin was present.

While recounting the events, he was surrounded by layers of people.

After listening to his rough account, everyone felt unsatisfied, and soon numerous voices began asking questions.

But Qu Jianlei, being the buzzkill he is, simply stated.

"I can’t share too many details as it involves some privacy of Lord Pan and could affect the effectiveness of future attacks."

The B-level from Qian Duoduo’s side couldn’t help but ask, "Are you going to continue attacking the military station?"

"There is no plan for the near future," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "Both Lord Pan and I are quite exhausted, we need to replenish our Qi, right?"

This answer was as reasonable as could be, anyone could infer this.

The B-level Warrior couldn’t contain himself, "Can I join next time?"

Although he’s only B-level, his Earth Attribute makes him tough, and he could apply Rock Armor to Black Heaven and Pan Yifu, couldn’t he?

The key is that attacking a Star Thief’s military station is not only thrilling but also rewarding, and it’s something to brag about.

"You’ll need to ask Lord Pan about that," Qu Jianlei didn’t give a definitive answer, mainly because he also has an Earth Attribute A-level clone, Wen Xin.

Not wanting to dwell on that subject, he shifted to discussing the logistics of transporting supplies.

Upon hearing this, many enthusiastically volunteered, many of whom were still not lightly wounded.

Most Pioneers have personalities that value swift justice and gratitude, feeling that freeloading in this Secret Camp was not proper.

Some felt indebted to Blazing Fire or the Engineer Battalion, but among the wounded, there were also many from other teams.

Plus, this Secret Camp was established by Black Heaven, and all the supplies were also procured by him personally.

If they were team provisions, there might be some justification, but for so many to solely rely on Black Heaven... who wouldn’t feel a bit ashamed?

Maybe by helping with transportation, one could earn some compensation, and the supplies brought back today are all hard currency.

The Pioneers are truly afraid of being poor; being able to obtain some supplies, whether for personal use or as gifts, is excellent.

As for the danger... those daring to pioneer undoubtedly have their lives hanging by a thread seeking fortune, don’t they?

Qu Jianlei hadn’t expected such a positive response, so he decisively pulled Mu Huahua into the situation.

"Those interested, report to Deputy Leader Mu, and she will decide on the comprehensive considerations related to this."

Mu Huahua pointed to her nose in surprise, "Me?"

"Of course you," Qu Jianlei replied nonchalantly, "I have too many things to handle, and you’re not lacking in decision-making experience."

"No problem," Mu Huahua happily agreed, having been quite bored staying in the Secret Camp.

Previously, managing only Blazing Fire’s personnel was manageable, but suddenly there were over a hundred wounded, and she was at a loss how to manage them.

On the surface, this is Blazing Fire’s war zone hospital, but in fact, everyone knows it’s orchestrated by Black Heaven.

The key is that regardless of Hongyun, the Baldy, or Spirit Fox, they all recognize Black Heaven, and even the Modified Warriors of Qian Duoduo’s camp only acknowledge him.

And Mu Huahua is just a deputy leader of an Earth Level Team, trying to manage these people without proper title or legitimacy.

But she couldn’t share this concern with Qu Jianlei.

So previously, Mu Huahua essentially acted as the hospital’s Advanced Guard, responsible for security management, which was indeed quite dull.

With Black Heaven’s authorization now, she could finally do something meaningful.

Qu Jianlei didn’t delve into her internal struggles; previously, he left mundane tasks to Youyou, and now he entrusted them to Deputy Leader Mu, allowing him to focus on his own matters.

In a blink, seven to eight days passed, and he finally grasped some insights after studying the Turtle Breathing Technique.

It was Pan Yifu calling him again today, indicating that Old Pan had somewhat regained his energy.

This time, however, Pan Yifu sought Wen Xin, but Qu Jianlei directly told him that he also couldn’t reach that person.

He no longer wanted Wen Xin’s identity to publicly appear; Old Pan wasn’t foolish, quite the contrary, he was much shrewder than the average person.

Switching identities back and forth, if Old Pan didn’t eventually figure it out, that would indeed be surprising.

Expecting others to be fools only proves one’s own foolishness.

Upon hearing that Wen Xin couldn’t be contacted, Pan Yifu’s regret was evident even over the voice.

Qu Jianlei, however, stated that he had almost recovered, and could consider taking down another military station.

Also, transport workers had been recruited, twenty-some were screened, including both healthy individuals and those lightly injured.

But Old Pan lacked enthusiasm, stating that a military station hadn’t been selected yet; if you contact Wen Xin, inform him to contact me.

Thus, Qu Jianlei continued to rest, and in his free time, paid attention to the Star Thieves’ movements.

One day, he visited the field hospital, where the B-level Warrior from Qian Duoduo’s team proactively inquired when they would attack a military station.

He was somewhat puzzled, "I think the resources are relatively ample, feeling restless?"

The daily expenses for over a hundred people are not small. When resources are scarce, it’s no problem for a strong man to eat three pounds of food in a day.

This is just ordinary people; a Modified Warrior can eat ten pounds a day and still be half-hungry.

The seemingly plentiful supplies he prepared have already been consumed by thirty percent, and more than half of the medicine has been used.

The B-level Warrior then stated: Even if we don’t consider supplies, if we apply less pressure, the pressure on the main forces will increase greatly.

This explanation makes a lot of sense, and the key is that he’s not the only one in the field hospital thinking this way.

Qu Jianlei was contemplating whether he was getting a bit lax when the sentinel outside the door warned him.

Fortunately, it wasn’t an outsider coming, it was Spirit Fox, the leader of Qian Duoduo’s team.

Spirit Fox’s right hand had healed, though the skin was a tender pink, which is a normal phenomenon after limb regeneration.

Anyway, it didn’t affect its use, although it was somewhat delicate.

As soon as Spirit Fox arrived, he heard his warrior entangled with Black Heaven, so he reprimanded him twice, telling him to follow some rules.

The next moment, he gave Qu Jianlei a look, "Black Heaven, you come with me. I want to discuss something with you."

After the two walked out of the Secret Camp, Spirit Fox was the first to ask, "How much ammunition and Energy Blocks do you have left?"

Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment before replying, "I have some left, you tell me how much you need."

"I need all of it," Spirit Fox answered without hesitation. "This isn’t just my opinion; the Old Ghost and Bald agreed as well."

Old Ghost is the leader of the Crimson Pioneer Team, and with Bald, it means this is the consensus of two Celestial Level Teams.

Qu Jianlei didn’t fuss about it; he didn’t even consider the price, he just asked, "Going to fight back?"

"We must fight back," Spirit Fox wasn’t surprised by his sensitivity either. "You’ll be given a satisfactory price for the relevant costs."

"That’s not the point," Qu Jianlei wasn’t that petty. "Isn’t it to assault the control center?"

Spirit Fox nodded, "Don’t let this information leak out. If it weren’t necessary for your cooperation, I wouldn’t have told you."

"Haha," Qu Jianlei laughed it off, "By the way, we can’t contact Wen Xin for now."

"Tsk," hearing this news, Spirit Fox couldn’t help clicking his tongue. Apparently, this variable caught him off guard.

But he quickly adjusted, "If we can’t contact him, so be it. The plan is already in motion; it can’t be changed."

Then he took out six Storage Talismans and shook them, "These aren’t just from Qian Duoduo. I’ll trouble you to transport them."

Qu Jianlei, without being polite, took the Storage Talismans and asked, "Use hot weapons for defense and send experts for the assault?"

"Precisely," Spirit Fox nodded, "Each family has a bit of ammunition, but the more, the better."

Qu Jianlei could feel the other party’s determination, thought for a moment, and spoke, "With six Storage Talismans, at least three trips will be needed."

"Good job!" Spirit Fox couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up, "You really surprised me."

He thought he had already highly estimated Black Heaven, but the wealth of the other party still exceeded his imagination.

"I don’t feel secure," Qu Jianlei chuckled, "Actually, even three trips might not be enough."

"It’s already enough," Spirit Fox, knowing the importance, realized that since the other party said he didn’t feel secure, he couldn’t keep asking.

In fact, even if it was six trips, in Qian Duoduo Team’s previous understanding, it wouldn’t count as particularly plentiful supplies.

He came to request supplies mainly to give the Pioneer Team members some reassurance—look, we can get Energy Blocks and ammunition.

In warfare, it’s all about morale; without it, the best equipment and abundant ammunition are useless.

"Then I’m off," Qu Jianlei turned to leave.

"Wait a moment," Spirit Fox immediately spoke up, "You can contact Pan Yifu, right?"

"I can indeed contact him," upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei nodded, "But this person is... rather spontaneous in his actions."

"That’s quite normal," Spirit Fox smiled it off indifferently, "Alright then, you get busy, I still have to perform as a porter."

Transporting supplies wasn’t easy for him either. Carrying Storage Talismans wasn’t tiring, but he had to place the supplies conveniently for transport.

Even though he was A-level and could fly, crossing the blockade wasn’t an issue, but travel takes time, doesn’t it?

So these three trips took him three days, and this was him focusing solely on the journey. Otherwise, it would have taken even longer.

Then he returned again, and seriously handed Qu Jianlei a box.

Inside the box were six transparent bottles, each containing three pills.

Spirit Fox earnestly said, "This is our sincerity. Please tell Pan Yifu that there should be another assault on a Military Station soon."

What is this? Qu Jianlei was a bit baffled, as he really hadn’t encountered such things before.

But he couldn’t ask because Spirit Fox’s face clearly said—"Isn’t this impressive enough?"

He thought for a moment, didn’t take the box, and said, "I might not be able to persuade Pan Yifu."

Spirit Fox, however, earnestly said, "If attacking a Military Station seems too pressuring, I can help coordinate."
