At a glance, Luo Fan could tell this was yet another pampered young master from some family.
Still, he couldn't just stand by and watch them die.
"All five of you grab onto my backpack as well."
"Anyway, taking one more or five more makes no difference."
Even though warriors had higher physical fitness and were heavier than ordinary people,
the extra weight of a few people made almost no difference to Luo Fan's speed.
At present, he could control about six flying knives.
That meant his mental force amplitude was around six times.
He could completely apply close to six times the strength of a Mid-level War God onto the shield beneath his feet.
In the original story, Luo Feng only learned this after studying the basics of a Spirit Reader.
But Luo Fan had read a bit of Swallowed Star himself.
So he also understood how to concentrate his sixfold mental force amplitude onto a single object.
"Thank you!"
"We will surely repay you when we return!"
The pale-faced young man being carried also spoke up.
"I am Wang Hao of the HR Alliance's Wang family. Thank you for saving me.
When we return, if you need anything, just come find me."
Luo Fan shook his head.
How could a Wang family possibly be of any real help to him?
"It's fine. Just hold on tight. I'm leaving now."
Once he saw that everyone was holding firmly onto the backpack, Luo Fan hugged Fang Xueyi, stepped onto the shield, and lifted off.
In the next instant, the shield began accelerating toward the supply base.
The people below clung tightly to the backpack, terrified of being flung off.
The High-level Warlords among them each used one hand to grip the backpack and the other to hold onto Wang Hao, afraid he might fall.
With their strength, if not for carrying Wang Hao, they would have fled long ago.
However, their mission was to protect Wang Hao, so abandoning him and leaving alone was out of the question.
Just then, Luo Fan suddenly noticed something.
At some point, a swarm of Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes had appeared ahead!
Seeing them blocking the path toward the supply base, Luo Fan frowned slightly.
On the way here, they hadn't been there.
He hadn't expected them to gather so quickly.
He guessed this swarm had probably come from another city to merge with the main group.
And unfortunately, they had run right into Luo Fan's party.
He himself wasn't afraid.
Even the few High-level Warlords weren't afraid.
But the women of the Rose Squad, and especially Fang Xueyi, were another matter.
With no other choice, Luo Fan tried flying higher.
But those Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes still followed.
Now there were insects both ahead and behind.
The only option was to forcefully carve a bloody path forward.
"I'll break through head-on. You High-level Warlords take care of any Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes I miss."
As he spoke, more than a dozen flying knives shot out from behind Luo Fan.
These Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes weren't particularly strong, so even if spreading his power across many knives diluted their strength, it didn't matter.
However, their flying speed inevitably slowed down.
In the next instant, Luo Fan charged straight into the swarm of Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes.
The dozen or so flying knives spun rapidly around the group.
With every rotation, countless Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes were cut down.
Of course, even Luo Fan couldn't block them all, quite a few still slipped through.
But that was when the High-level Warlords stepped in to help.
For them, the only troublesome thing about these Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes was their sheer numbers.
As long as they kept their mouths shut, there was nothing to fear.
The scattered stragglers could even be handled by the Rose Squad members and Wang Hao.
At that moment, Luo Fan felt a bit of relief, thankfully, he had decided to bring Wang Hao's group along earlier.
Otherwise, the Rose Squad would have suffered greatly.
With Luo Fan's strength, he could at most ensure that he and Fang Xueyi weren't surrounded.
Before long, Luo Fan had forced his way out of the Bloodthirsty Mosquito swarm.
Once clear, he recalled his flying knives and focused all his effort on speeding toward the supply base.
Along the way, whenever he encountered slower warrior squads, Luo Fan would lend a hand and pull them along.
After all, once airborne, even carrying hundreds of people, he was still faster than the insect horde.
After a while, Luo Fan finally returned to the supply base.
Because he was carrying so many people, the return trip took much longer than his journey there.
This time, aside from the Rose Squad and Wang Hao's five-man team, he had also picked up two other warrior squads that had been close to the insect tide.
"Thank you for saving us, Lord Luo Fan!"
"If you ever need anything, just command us!"
"Yes, we are truly grateful, Lord Luo Fan!"
One after another, the warriors expressed their gratitude to Luo Fan.
He casually responded a few words, then left with Fang Xueyi and the others.
The group headed to the HR Alliance Building's restaurant, planning to eat something to calm their nerves.
"Huff—"
"Luckily, you came to save us, otherwise when we came back and ran into that swarm of bloodthirsty mosquitoes, we really wouldn't have known what to do."
A trace of lingering fear flashed across Fang Xueyi's eyes.
The other members of the Rose Squad also showed relief in their eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, thank goodness for Luo Fan."
"But I didn't expect Luo Fan to actually be a Spiritual Force Master!"
"Right, this is the first time I've ever seen a Spiritual Force Master!"
As they kept talking, the women's topic drifted away.
Before long, the meal was finished.
Everyone was preparing to return to the base city and rest for a while.
This encounter with the insect horde had truly frightened them.
For the time being, they had no desire to go back into the wilderness zone.
Luo Fan was also planning to take Fang Xueyi home to comfort her.
After all, he had already told Zhuge Tao about his strength, and before long, he would most likely be entering the Elite Training Camp.
Sure enough, before he even had the chance to comfort the frightened Fang Xueyi, Zhuge Tao's call came through.
"Luo Fan, where are you now?"
Zhuge Tao asked directly.
"I'm at the supply base," Luo Fan answered honestly.
"Stay there, don't leave. A very important figure will be coming to see you shortly."
Zhuge Tao's serious voice came from the phone.
After Luo Fan agreed, Zhuge Tao hung up.
Looking at the phone in his hand, a trace of helplessness flashed across Luo Fan's eyes.
What a pity, he couldn't go home to comfort his frightened wife.
As for comforting her in the villa at the supply base… at the speed of that "important figure," it probably wouldn't satisfy Luo Fan's needs either.
Fang Xueyi had also heard the contents of the call. She looked at Luo Fan, a trace of reluctance flashing in her eyes.
"You're going to the Elite Training Camp?"
Hearing this, Luo Fan nodded and said with a smile:
"It's fine. You already know how fast I progress. I'll break through to Wargod soon and come back."
At these words, a hint of curiosity flashed across Fang Xueyi's eyes.
Earlier, with so many people around, she hadn't asked. Now that it was just the two of them, husband and wife, Fang Xueyi asked directly:
"What's your strength now?"
Luo Fan hadn't planned to hide it.
"In terms of punching power, I'm close to the level of an Advanced Warlord."
"As for explosive force, I've reached sixfold."
Hearing this, Fang Xueyi's eyes widened involuntarily.
"Sixfold!"
Her face was filled with shock.
It was precisely because she herself was a warrior that Fang Xueyi understood even more clearly what it meant to have sixfold explosive force.
One had to know, most Warlords only managed three to four times explosive force!
