In that instant, Luo Xiaole's heart bloomed, the water became clear, and the sun pierced through the mist, shining directly on her. Her body felt as if it had suddenly become lighter!
Ah! Is this what it feels like to have your body modified!
It's absolutely wonderful!
She stood there smiling for five minutes.
"Hmm? Something seems off..." She flexed her wrist again, "Hiss..." It still hurt intensely.
The fatigue in her body hadn't lessened either, and the joints in various places still ached annoyingly.
Thinking back, it felt like her body hadn't been bathed in any light.
What's going on!
Hasn't my body been restored?
Luo Xiaole froze on the spot.
That damned system hadn't said a word since it was activated.
"What the heck is going on! Why is my body still like this!" Luo Xiaole, uncharacteristically, threw a tantrum.
"Please continue to check the panel functions~" The system's voice suddenly turned mischievous.
Luo Xiaole brought up the panel again, glaring at it with furious eyes, and only then did she realize...
The body modification panel had indeed unlocked, but it was further divided into various functions, each requiring money to unlock individually.
The first item on it was written in large characters: "Body Repair".
Behind it, it clearly stated: 5,000,000 shop coins!
Luo Xiaole's eyes almost popped out of her head!
Damn it, what a scammer! Why didn't they say so earlier!
A curse phrase surfaced on Luo Xiaole's lips, but she swallowed it back down silently.
"Haha, haha... It's okay, it's just money..." Her nerves seemed to have suffered a massive blow.
She mumbled to herself.
It's just money that's needed, 5,000,000.
She glanced dazedly at her current balance. Hmm... 810,000...
I'm screwed!
Luo Xiaole stomped her foot in frustration within the space. She had originally thought that with her current balance, there would even be money left over after repairing her body!
Unexpectedly, she was about to be deeply in debt!
She walked out of the space listlessly and opened her eyes in reality.
"What's wrong with Xiaole? Did lightning strike her face? Her expression is so gloomy." Everyone seemed to see a dark cloud on her face.
"Wasn't she just jubilant a moment ago?"
"Does this little girl have two faces?" Pi Jiajia blurted out nonsensically.
Luo Xiaole glared at him, telling him to shut up if he had nothing good to say!
"Goddess, hurry up! Luo Xiaole is so agitated she's bristling with pain! Quickly take this little ancestor back to the base!" Pi Jiajia frantically urged Lin Xia, who was driving.
Lin Xia floored the accelerator. Relying on the map Luo Xiaole had obtained earlier, they took a shortcut.
They returned to Luocheng Base at the fastest possible speed.
...
At the Azure Dragon Gang's stronghold.
Cheng Miao and Lian San had calmed down.
"It's just a little sprout, she wouldn't be smart enough to come and snatch our weapons."
"It's highly likely that the commander ordered it. Damn it, I should have killed him back at the base!"
"But we still can't let Luo Xiaole off the hook!"
Wang Hao had spilled everything about his actions with Luo Xiaole in the early days of the apocalypse to Cheng Miao and Lian San, word for word.
"So, you're saying that Luo Xiaole, whenever she encounters danger, freezes up, right?" Lian San asked with disbelief.
"Then how did she survive until now? And how did she dare to steal our supplies?"
"She was just leeching off others! Her team has recruited many powerful individuals, and it's probably thanks to them that she's survived until now."
Wang Hao said indignantly.
He added, "Don't worry, this condition of hers is hereditary and incurable."
Only then did Cheng Miao feel relieved.
Indeed, he had seen a girl with several bodyguards and a young man who looked unfathomably profound standing next to that short person back then.
It was likely they who were protecting Luo Xiaole.
Therefore, if they wanted to deal with Luo Xiaole, they would have to lure these people away first...
At the same time, where to deal with Luo Xiaole was also a problem.
"Can't Zhou Kaifeng make a move in the city?" Wang Hao asked doubtfully.
Cheng Miao looked at him with a hint of contempt.
How long had he been following him, yet he still hadn't improved!
"There's going to be a major operation in the city soon. If he makes any rash moves now, everything will be exposed! Didn't you say she had capable people around her? And she even managed to get into the elite squad. She's more troublesome than you think!" Cheng Miao grumbled.
But he still couldn't swallow his pride, after all, he was meticulous.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
"Tell me everything you saw about who she was with in her cave before, and who she was with during this supply raid," Cheng Miao's eyes showed a glint of cunning.
Pi Jiajia quickly recounted everything.
"She was with Pi Jiajia? And this time, they didn't hesitate at all and ambushed our supply transport location in advance?"
He stroked his small mustache.
"Did Pi Jiajia's original small team receive any of the supply notifications this time?"
"Yes!" Wang Hao replied quickly.
"So that's how it is..." Cheng Miao understood instantly.
"That bastard Pi Jiajia, he lost his superpower and dares to openly betray me!" Cheng Miao slammed his fist heavily on the table.
"He still has our communicator, right?" The corners of his mouth curled up, his face full of malice.
"Then don't blame me for setting a trap for you." He let out a sinister laugh.
...
As soon as Luo Xiaole returned to Luocheng Base, she went straight to Zhou Shoushan and told him about her recent experiences.
She also displayed the weapons she had recovered.
It was a joke, she had pulled off such a big heist, it was impossible to hide it, and Zhou Shoushan would find out sooner or later.
It was better to reveal it herself first and make a deal with Zhou Shoushan, thus offloading this hot potato.
She was currently short on money but not weapons.
On the other hand, judging by the Azure Dragon Gang's stance, something big was likely to happen soon.
With this batch of weapons, she hoped Luocheng Base could withstand it.
After all, her home was here now, and she wanted Luocheng Base to achieve stability and steady development more than anyone else.
Zhou Shoushan was overjoyed.
Pi Jiajia had provided a lot of information about the strongholds, and he had already secretly dispatched space ability users for tracking and calculation, believing they would soon find the exact location of their lair.
He hadn't expected that while he was busy with the city's stability and searching for the Azure Dragon Gang's lair, Luo Xiaole, without accepting any missions, would lead her teammates to pull off such a feat.
And she had brought weapons back for Luocheng Base!
It was truly an unexpected delight.
"Little friend Xiaole, you always exceed my expectations." Zhou Shoushan's mouth curved upwards, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes couldn't hide his joy. It was indeed the right decision to form an alliance with Luo Xiaole early on.
"On behalf of Luocheng Base, I thank you first."
"No need to be so polite! I also need to thank Commander Zhou for providing and escorting the weapon raw materials for me for free." Luo Xiaole said casually.
While helping Luocheng Base was one aspect, her main goal for this outing was to collect weapons for her own upgrades.
"Little friend Xiaole, name your price."
Luo Xiaole blinked her eyes. Good, if Zhou Shoushan was unwilling to cooperate, she wouldn't dare to make such a direct trade.
"5,000,000," Luo Xiaole blinked her eyes.
