Yao Ran nodded at Long Yu's words and discreetly used her wood element energy to mark the three men. As long as her wood element energy remained on them, she could track their exact locations and sense if they used their abilities.
As they walked toward the Institute of Agriculture, Yuan Rihui led them to the place he had reserved beforehand. Soon, they arrived at a counter at the back.
Yuan Rihui turned to Yao Ran and Long Yu and said, "Miss Yao, we can line up here."
Noticing only a few people ahead in line, Yao Ran realized this counter was for those with reservations. Nodding at him, she and the others joined the queue.
Before long, it was Yao Ran's turn. She observed the two glass bottles on the counter for a moment, then looked at the staff and asked, "Excuse me, how can I get the Night Moss and Glowing Mushroom?"
The staff pointed to the glass bottles and explained, "For free, you can get an ounce of Night Moss and one pack of Glowing Mushroom spawn. If you want more, you will need to pay with supplies or base coins."
Realizing the limited availability of these items, Yao Ran decided there was no need to request more than the free allocation.
"I will take the free one," Yao Ran said after pondering for a moment.
The staff nodded. "Please show me your ID card."
Yao Ran handed over her ID card and waited briefly before receiving it back along with a small package containing the Night Moss and Glowing Mushroom spawn.
Afterward, she waited for Long Yu and the others on the side. It took about fifteen minutes for everyone to receive their share.
As groups began to rob and fight nearby, Long Yu said, "Let's head back before more survivors show up."
On their way back to the villa area, they encountered a chaotic scene of robbery and looting. Hundreds of people were fighting each other, snatching supplies. After robbing their victims, the perpetrators tried to flee but were blocked by three armored vehicles.
Before the soldiers could exit the vehicles, the robbers attacked, smashing the glass windows with iron rods.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Despite their efforts, the tempered glass remained unscathed. While the robbers couldn't break into the vehicles, the soldiers inside were also unable to get out.
Observing from a distance, Li Zhen said, "Captain, the soldiers from the First Army are inside. I saw Captain Wu inside one of the armored vehicles."
Hearing this, Long Yu turned to Yuan Rihui and said, "Brother Yuan, you and your men should head back first."
Guessing what they wanted to do, Yuan Rihui nodded. "Alright."
After Yuan Rihui and his men left, Yao Ran informed them, "Three people are following and observing us nearby. Be cautious when fighting the robbers."
Long Yu and the others nodded. "Understood."
With that, they rushed toward the armored vehicles.
