Lu Xinyi did not take all the crystal cores. He discussed with Hua Dai that the supplies would go to them, while he would take three quarters of the crystal cores, and the remaining quarter would go to Hua Dai and the others.

"Miss Lu." Hua Dai grabbed Lu Xinyi's hands, looked at her gratefully, and then looked at Qin Jue and the others, "Your kindness really makes me at a loss for words."

"We're not helping you find supplies for nothing." Lu Xinyi smiled, "Don't we also get crystal cores? And I really need crystal cores more than supplies."

Having crystal cores means having points, and having points means she can exchange them for more evolutionary fluids and supplies.

Therefore, the crystal core is what she needs most.

Of course, expanding territory in exchange for points is more important than crystal cores.

Thinking of the evolutionary fluid that Lu Xinyi brought, Hua Dai understood what she meant by "needing more crystal cores".

"Having said that, we still cannot repay your kindness."

"Then when we go out to look for supplies, you guys should do more. If you can't handle it, we will help."

"This is a must!" Hua Dai said without thinking, "How can we let you take the initiative? Last time it was Shan Xiong who acted as our thug, this time, we will be the thugs! If we really can't handle it, it won't be too late for you to take action!"

"Then it's settled."

The next day.

This time, Lu Xinyi and the others did not go to the cafeteria for breakfast. Instead, they gathered in Lu Xinyi's room and ate the bread and milk that Xia Lianqiao took out from the space.

After simply filling their stomachs, they went to meet up with Hua Dai and the other three.

On the way there, Lu Xinyi saw two patrolmen driving away a woman in her mid-thirties.

The woman was skinny, with rough and cracked skin, and her long hair had become dry and frizzy due to long-term malnutrition.

She grabbed one of the patrolmen with her wrinkled hands and said in a hoarse voice: "Please, please help me find my child! My child is missing, please!"

The two patrolmen looked at each other and sighed: "I told you a long time ago that you don't have any children. Your child died before you entered the base."

"No, it's not!" The woman's pupils dilated, with a look of disbelief, "I have a child! I obviously have a child! My child is by my side every day, but he disappeared today and I can't find him! Please help me find my child!"

The two patrolmen seemed to be accustomed to this and just carried the woman away as she kept muttering.

"Alas." Li Wanzhi couldn't help but sigh after seeing this scene, "What a pitiful mother. She can't accept that her child is gone. She must be mentally ill."

"After all, she is her own child." Du Heng said, "It is understandable that she was devastated and became mentally ill after losing her child. Fortunately, she came to M Base and saved her life."

Xia Lianqiao leaned towards Lu Xinyi, quietly held her hand, looked up at her with watery eyes, and whispered, "Fortunately, I can be with my sister."

Lu Xinyi pinched her nose and chuckled, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I'll protect you."

"We are here too!" Du Heng patted his chest and said confidently, "With your brother Heng here, I promise that you won't get hurt!"

Xia Lianqiao smiled, and the two dimples on her face were particularly obvious.

She looked at her sister with a smile, then at Qin Ju, Du Heng and Li Wanzhi. Seeing that everyone was looking at her with sincere and concerned eyes, her heart was suddenly filled with warmth.

It’s great to have my sister and friends around!

When they arrived at the place where they had agreed to meet Hua Dai and the other three, they greeted each other and got straight to the point.

"I have already informed Base Captain Zhao," Hua Dai said. "Although he is worried about your safety, he also knows that you are free people and cannot restrict your actions. He just repeatedly reminded us to protect your safety."

"I'm sorry to make Captain Zhao worried."

"The head of the base is a worrier. He is destined to be a worrier." Hua Dai said, "He has been busy discussing farm matters with agricultural experts these past two days. I only saw him very early this morning. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would have been a wasted trip."

Hearing this, Lu Xinyi couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that she had planned to use the communication equipment of M Base to contact Dawn Base.

She took this opportunity to tell Hua Dai about her plan.

"You want to contact the Dawn Base? That's easy. I'll take you to the communications room." Hua Dai said without hesitation, "It doesn't matter if we leave later. Your business is the most important."

"Thank you very much." Lu Xinyi responded with a smile. She asked Qin Ju and the others to stay here and wait for her, and she followed Hua Dai to the communication room alone.

The communications room is not far away, just a ten-minute walk away.

Hua Dai entered the communications room first, spoke a few words to the staff inside, then turned around and waved to Lu Xinyi.

"Ms. Lu, please."

After saying that, he took the initiative to leave the communication room and gave the entire communication room to Lu Xinyi.

After Lu Xinyi sat down, he first studied the communication equipment in front of him, and after some effort he finally contacted the Dawn Base.

Bi Jing's voice came: "This is the Dawn Base, I am Bi Jing."

"Captain Bi, it's me, Lu Xinyi."

"Captain Lu?!" Bi Jing's voice suddenly rose, his tone full of surprise, "Are you all right at M Base?"

"Don't worry, Captain Bi. We are all fine." After Lu Xinyi exchanged a few pleasantries with him, she said, "M Base suffered from acid rain yesterday. How is the situation in S Province?"

"Acid rain?" Bi Jing sighed, "It's raining in S Province right now, acid rain."

Lu Xinyi's eyes darkened.

It seems that this acid rain is moving continuously and is not located in any specific place.

So, did the Oasis base also suffer from acid rain?

Bi Jing seemed to have guessed her concerns, and said, "This acid rain has affected a large area. I'm afraid the Oasis Base has also been affected."

Lu Xinyi pursed her lips, her expression solemn.

Although the land at the Oasis Base has undergone a system upgrade and is much more productive and efficient than ordinary land, it will definitely be affected by natural disasters such as acid rain.

However, the degree of impact should be much lower than that of ordinary land.

She wasn't too worried about this. She would just check the land situation in the system panel later.

Changing the subject, she asked, "How is the Dawn Base these days?"

"Everything is fine. Thank you Captain Lu for your concern."

"That's good." Lu Xinyi pursed her lips and reminded, "Many times, disasters not only come from the outside, but also from the inside. While guarding against the outside, we must also pay more attention to the inside."

Although Bi Jing was a little confused as to why she suddenly said this, he did not ask any more questions and replied in agreement: "Captain Lu is right, I will pay attention to it."
