Bang bang bang, several more gunshots rang out behind her. The suddenly appearing mutated animal fell to the ground, but was not completely dead. There was one next to Sang Luoluo, which was lying on the ground and was being shielded by tree branches. It was hit by the Crystal Core and stretched out its deformed claws to grab at Sang Luoluo. Sang Luoluo subconsciously wanted it to stay away and preferably back off.
The next moment, the mutated animal's corpse moved a short distance in the opposite direction from her. The mutated animal's eyes were filled with a slight confusion. In that brief moment, Sang Luoluo quickly jumped over the spot and took a few steps forward.
Afterwards, Dr. Wang looked at Sang Luoluo's physical data on the screen, his heart rate increased, and other data also began to fluctuate.
A Muling, watching the data, remarked, "She's starting to react too? She's still some distance from the meteorite."
Dr. Wang took out his binoculars to look at Sang Luoluo's movements in the distance, but unfortunately, he couldn't see her at all because of the ice and tree branches blocking her view. He could only see the instrument screen below, Sang Luoluo was still walking forward.
When Sang Luoluo, whom they were talking about, got within 10 meters of the giant meteorite, Sang Luoluo felt a fatal attraction.
Yes, a fatal attraction—such a large meteorite, only a portion of which is exposed, with almost 90% of the rest underground.
Moreover, this huge meteorite is entirely black; could it be a massive black Crystal Core?
Sang Luoluo was stunned for a moment. Thinking about how she had been forced to blow up Dr. Wang's lab, she felt a pang of regret and replied through the communication device, "Doctor, this thing seems to be a Crystal Core."
"PhD?"
Sang Luoluo glanced down at her watch; there was no signal.
She could only walk back a few steps until the signal was restored. Sang Luoluo saw Dr. Wang's face and continued, " Dr. Wang, it looks like a huge black Crystal Core."
"What?" Dr. Wang stood up in surprise, but the next second, due to the effects of radiation, he felt dizzy and his nose started bleeding.
Then Sang Luoluo's voice came from the screen, " Dr. Wang, since you want me to destroy this giant meteorite, blowing it up is both troublesome and a pity. How about letting me absorb it and see?"
Dr. Wang steadied himself, took the tissue from his assistant, and wiped the blood from his nose. There was nothing they could do about the radioactive meteorite just leaving it there. Even if they transported it back to the lab, the base didn't have enough equipment to block the radiation, so they couldn't deal with it in the short term. Moreover, there were probably more than one of these giant meteorites. If Sang Luoluo could absorb it, that would be the best outcome, enhancing her abilities and allowing her to continue working for the lab.
He then said, "Yes, but this giant meteorite has too much energy, so you have to be careful. If you feel any discomfort, you must stop immediately."
"Yes."
Dr. Wang's voice continued, "Go."
With permission granted, Sang Luoluo returned and reached out to touch the meteorite. The abundant energy instantly flowed through her body, and the entire giant meteorite instantly turned into a speck of dust, remaining at the bottom of the pit. Sang Luoluo was beyond satisfied with just being full; she gagged a few times in the open space beside her, then fainted and fell into the pit.
Sang Luoluo was certain that it wasn't that she had eaten too much, but rather that the space inside her body was being filled by this enormous Crystal Core.
The surrounding radiation returned to normal instantly.
The data on Sang Luoluo's body detected by Dr. Wang's instruments showed drastic changes. Her various physical data fluctuated constantly, and the fluctuations were even greater than those of an average person. Without the meteorite, the image on the computer screen was just a crater, staring motionless at a dark, earthen pit.
A Muling exclaimed in surprise, "Her physical data has changed so drastically, it's exceeded the limit! Could she be going to mutate...?"
Dr. Wang pondered for a moment, staring at the data, racking his brains but still unable to figure it out. The only thing he was certain of was that Sang Luoluo's physique was different from other Evolver.
The radiation levels detected by the monitors at Sheng Feng were steadily decreasing. A message relayed through the intercom, "Doctor, the radiation level is dropping rapidly. Sang Luoluo has succeeded. The current radiation level is 1100 and is still decreasing."
Jian Cheng said from the side, "Judging from the footage, Sang Luoluo's feed is completely still. Has something happened to her? Captain Sheng Feng, send someone to check on her quickly."
Sheng Feng paused for a moment, then said, "Someone has already gone. Sang Luoluo absorbed the energy from that giant meteorite, which turned into dust, creating a huge crater. She fell in. Oh no, a lot of mutated animals have appeared here! Requesting backup!!"
Dr. Wang glanced at Sang Luoluo's still erratic health stats and quickly ordered, "Pack your things and head to meet them. Make sure to eliminate those mutated animals."
Jiancheng went Jian Cheng.
Qi Feng was far away, but the moment he saw Sang Luoluo absorbing the meteorite and fall, he immediately ran over. Without the meteorite, the surrounding radiation dropped sharply and no longer posed any threat to them.
However, without the influence of the giant meteorite's radiation, mutated animals living nearby, who were afraid of the radiation, swarmed over like a tide.
Seeing their leader charging forward recklessly, and with mutated animals attacking from the side, He Fei and Lei Qi, disregarding everything else, exchanged a knowing glance, grabbed their Crystal Core, aimed at the mutated animals, and charged forward.
Regardless, the two of them couldn't let their leader take the risk alone.
And then there's Sang Luoluo. She solved the meteorite problem, which is a great achievement. She also has special abilities, so she absolutely cannot die here.
Sheng Feng put down the walkie-talkie. "Let's go, saving lives is the priority."
He could tell that Dr. Wang valued Sang Luoluo highly; she couldn't die yet.
Qi Feng rushed to the pit and tightened the rope in his hand. Below was a hole more than ten meters deep and more than ten meters wide, with an irregular shape. It was hard to imagine how huge this giant meteorite was. Sang Luoluo had absorbed the entire meteorite. He wondered how she was doing now.
Qi Feng was very nervous and panicked. A sense of fear enveloped his heart. He couldn't care less about anything else; all he knew was that he didn't want her to die like this.
With Lei Qi and He Fei providing cover from behind, Qi Feng moved quickly, constantly pulling the rope back up, lifting Sang Luoluo up from below.
She was wearing a radiation protection suit and an exoskeleton, so she should be fine if she fell.
They finally pulled her up. She was completely unconscious. He checked her pulse; it was erratic. He couldn't worry about that now. He carried her on his back and tied her up with a rope to prevent her from falling.
He aimed his Crystal Core at the mutated animal lunging at him and fired continuously. In the brief moments when the mutated animal slowed down, he quickened his pace, lightly leaping to dodge its attacks, and ran back without stopping, letting the mutated animal chase after him.
He was fast enough that the mutated animal was killed by He Fei from a distance before it could catch up with him.
They soon reunited with Sheng Feng and the others.
A barrage of gunfire rang out as they relentlessly eliminated the mutated animals.
However, these mutated animals are fast and abnormally fast. Some of them cannot be harmed by ordinary laser guns and can only be damaged by Crystal Core.
"These disgusting things, how did they mutate so strangely?"
"There are many more disgusting things like this around here," Qi Feng said inappropriately.
He saw some mutated animals on his way here, but none of them attacked humans.
However, this does not mean there is no threat.
Sheng Feng dealt with one of the mutated animals, and the detector immediately sounded an alarm, "This is bad, the radiation levels on these mutated animals are still very high. They're too affected by that giant meteorite."
"There are so many mutated animals over there!"
"They must have smelled the blood and came over."
"Retreat immediately!" Sheng Feng ordered.
Seven or eight Guard came to their aid, each carrying Crystal Core. One of them said, " Dr. Wang said that these mutated animals must be completely eliminated and cannot be allowed to spread."
Sheng Feng was stunned for a moment, and could only continue fighting with the Guard behind him, amidst the occasional sound of bombs.
Qi Feng carried Sang Luoluo and ran back. Sheng Feng stopped the mutated animals, and he quickly led his men to meet up with Dr. Wang and the others.
Chapter 98 Unmeasurable. Dr. Wang felt his old bones...
Besides the laboratory staff, Dr. Wang only had a few Guard members guarding the area, as their supplies were also there, and it couldn't be left unattended.
When Dr. Wang saw that Qi Feng had brought Sang Luoluo Sang Luoluo back, he immediately went forward to check on her condition.
Dr. Wang frowned as he looked at the unstable data on the instrument. "I hope nothing goes wrong."
Qi Feng asked, "How is she? Why are her health indicators... so much above the normal range?"
Jian Cheng chimed in, "After she absorbed the energy from that black meteorite, her stats became like this. I've never seen such a unique Evolver before."
"She was completely unharmed by such high levels of radiation and was even able to absorb such a large amount of radiation; she's practically an anomaly."
Dr. Wang rallied his spirits. "Evolution is inherently chaotic; it's just a matter of probability."
Dr. Wang then added, "Take good care of Sang Luoluo and monitor her vital signs constantly. This is crucial for our future research on meteorites."
