She tried again, and the canned food floated up, as did the nutrient solution. It even spun 360 degrees in front of them, just as Sang Luoluo had planned. Although Sang Luoluo was a little clumsy with the controls, it didn't stop her from being excited. She finally had her own evolutionary ability.
Having confirmed Sang Luoluo's abilities, Qi Feng felt that her ability was closely related to her capacity to absorb large amounts of Crystal Core, and whispered, "You should go and rest. I'll watch over things here."
Sang Luoluo lay back down, too excited to sleep. She tried using this ability on the cushions and pillows around her. Aside from feeling a little uncomfortable at first, she gradually got the hang of manipulating objects, which was somewhat similar to using her consciousness to work in space.
After experimenting for a long time, I finally fell into a deep sleep. The range of objects I can manipulate is limited now, but I can experiment more thoroughly outside tomorrow.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Dr. Wang told everyone to get up quickly and set off immediately. He had located the radiation source, and they were speeding up so they could find it today.
Sang Luoluo quickly got up and started packing. Sang Luoluo ate breakfast in a hurry, stuffing a few buns into her mouth and drinking a glass of milk. That was about it. Qi Feng, on the other hand, ate an egg with a nutritional supplement.
Sang Luoluo tidied up everything present and put it into her spatial storage. The team continued forward in the same formation as yesterday.
Dr. Wang pointed in a direction, "Go in that direction. Based on the size of the meteorite and the time it fell, it's estimated to be underground. There should be quite a few highly radioactive mutated animals nearby. The Guard ahead, be careful."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Feng led his men to clear the way, not daring to let his guard down for a moment.
They crawled through tree branches, with frozen weeds underneath, making it easy to trip. But that wasn't the worst part. The real danger was that some of the mutated plants, though withered or with their leaves frozen, still contained toxicity and activity, their attack power undiminished. The Guard leading the way was having a very difficult time.
One wrong move and you'd be blocked by tree branches, or you'd get tangled up with them and start fighting, and the scene quickly spiraled out of control.
Below, there were even plants that could survive perfectly under the ice. They could withstand temperatures of tens of degrees below zero and grew exceptionally vigorously. Sang Luoluo was astonished by this.
Dr. Wang and the other researchers were very excited; they were determined to get some samples back for research, as it would greatly benefit the future development of their base.
So, the Guard risked their lives and struggled for a long time with those mutated plants before the laboratory staff were able to successfully obtain some samples.
Sang Luoluo naturally took it and put it away.
As they slowly walked forward, they suddenly saw the corpses of some mutated animals on the ground, frozen solid. They looked like they had been dead for a long time.
Dr. Wang took out his instruments and conducted a test, arriving at his conclusion. "He's been dead for a long time, died from high radiation, and mutations have already appeared in his body."
I used an instrument to test the radiation here, and the radiation level had reached 3000, triggering a bright red alarm.
Dr. Wang reiterated, "Everyone must wear their radiation protection suits properly; do not expose yourselves."
The further you go, the more mutated animal corpses you see. Some of these corpses have two to seven heads or more, while others have three tails and three feet on one leg.
Dr. Wang had the lab technicians collect some samples and put them away.
There were even living mutant animals here, their bodies radiating high levels of radiation, and moving at incredible speeds. The Guard ' guns could no longer hit them, and even the sharpshooter He Fei couldn't aim at them.
"Why is your nose bleeding!" the Guard in front exclaimed, looking at his teammate on the other side.
"Nosebleed?" The next moment, he felt a liquid flow into his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Dr. Wang had his vital signs checked, and the values in his body began to become erratic.
"He's affected by radiation and can't go any further."
Dr. Wang considered it for a moment and used instruments to measure everyone's body values. In this environment, it was easy to be affected even through the anti-radiation suit. After only walking a few steps, the radiation level here had already reached 4000.
Nearly half of the people have already felt some physical discomfort.
"Doctor, what should we do? We can't go any further; the radiation levels up ahead are too high."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Wang himself was somewhat affected, but he couldn't let it go like this. "We can't stop. In this arrangement, those without any physical abnormalities continue forward, and the rest stay here with their communication devices to maintain contact."
Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng were among those who were alright. Most of the lab members were in critical condition and unable to leave. Of the Guard, only three were in bad shape, while the rest were fine.
Sang Luoluo in the center of the group, listening to Dr. Wang's instructions coming from inside.
"Report radiation levels promptly."
Captain Sheng Feng, who was in charge, kept reporting the situation, "Radiation level: 5000."
"Radiation level: 5700."
"Radiation level: 6300."
"Radiation level: 8000."
"Captain, I can't go on, I'm dizzy."
"Captain, I don't feel well either. I can't breathe."
"Captain, I feel unwell too. My chest feels tight, and my hands are shaking."
Sheng Feng also sensed something was amiss, and seeing this, he could only say, "You all retreat 50 meters and rest where you are."
Sang Luoluo doesn't feel anything yet. Among the data monitored by Dr. Wang from a distance, only Sang Luoluo's data is completely stable. Everyone else's data fluctuates to varying degrees, and some with large fluctuations have already started to feel uncomfortable.
Sang Luoluo continued walking forward, and then a mutated animal emerged—a mutated bird living beneath the ice.
"Radiation level 14,000. Dr. Wang, I'm also feeling a bit strained," Sheng Feng said, panting heavily. "However, I can see the radiation source."
In the distance, a huge black fluorescent crystal, as large as a house, protruded from the ground.
Dr. Wang received the transmitted images and saw the fluctuations in everyone's physical data; only Sang Luoluo's condition had stabilized.
Looking at the data on the screen, A Muling exclaimed, "Doctor, how is this possible? Is her body capable of such high levels of endurance?"
Dr. Wang nodded. "Her ability is a bit special; I think it's related to her ability to absorb a large number of Crystal Core."
Sheng Feng replied again, "Doctor, I can't go any further either. My nose has started bleeding. The radiation level is currently 14500."
Moving forward wasn't the end of the story; they also had to deal with these mutated animals, which was quite troublesome, and the gunfire never stopped.
Sang Luoluo could sense that these mutated animals nearby also had Crystal Core, and that the energy of these Crystal Core was even higher. That familiar attraction made her very envious.
Seeing this, Dr. Wang had an idea. " Sang Luoluo, come back first."
The mutated animals behind had been cleared out, so Sang Luoluo headed back at a moderate pace, easily making her way back.
" Dr. Wang, you wanted to see me?"
Qi Feng followed behind, and only when they reached an area with lower radiation did he feel less uncomfortable.
Dr. Wang looked at her solemnly and said, "I'm giving you an important mission: to bring that meteorite back. If you can't bring it back, destroy it. Leave the supplies and tents here, and take the explosives with you."
Sang Luoluo: "..." Is this sending me to my death? Not only is the radiation there so high, but there are also strong mutated animal activities.
Even Captain Sheng Feng and his men couldn't hold on, how could she?
Dr. Wang noticed the change in Sang Luoluo's expression and his heart skipped a beat. He said, "Of everyone, only your data is the most stable. Captain Sheng's location has a radiation level of 14,500. His physical data is fluctuating too much and he can't hold on any longer, while yours is still normal. Only you can do this mission."
Gritting his teeth, Dr. Wang continued, "Don't worry, if you can complete the mission, the lab will give you a huge reward."
Chapter 97 You've fallen into a pit! Quick, get back!
Dr. Wang was telling the truth; she was the only one here who could withstand the radiation. "Well, if I go to the front and my health data also becomes abnormal, then I can't go any further. I'm afraid of dying too."
Dr. Wang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."
Sang Luoluo took out all the supplies she had brought from the laboratory, piled them together, then took the box of explosives and returned the way she came, heading towards the giant meteorite.
Sang Luoluo slowly walked to where Captain Sheng Feng and Qi Feng were standing. Qi Feng suddenly called out to her, "Wait a minute, don't you have a rope? Tie it around your waist."
"Oh right," Sang Luoluo took out a set of ropes from her spatial storage, tied one end around her waist, and had Qi Feng hold the other end.
Qi Feng cautioned, "If you feel unwell, come back immediately. The radiation here is too high; don't be careless."
Sang Luoluo nodded and continued walking forward. She was now about 150 meters away from the giant meteorite. As she continued walking, many mutated animals rushed out from the nearby ice caves and tree trunks.
Sang Luoluo was so frightened that she fell to the ground. The mutated animals didn't pounce on her; they were all killed one after another by the laser guns behind her.
Sang Luoluo turned around and saw that Qi Feng had somehow acquired a Crystal Core not far away, and Sheng Feng also had one. He Fei and Lei Qi waved to her, telling her to go ahead and not worry. They guarded Sang Luoluo's surroundings, having calculated the possible attacks from mutated animals that might suddenly appear from various angles.
Sang Luoluo didn't notice anything unusual. It was better to move forward quickly, finish the mission sooner, and get back sooner.
