How disgusting!
As the flock of birds passed, the Zhan Qun continued to issue the order, "Continue flying at low altitude."
The plane swept across the frozen forest, stirring up a cloud of icy mist that startled the large, mutated animals hiding in the woods.
Their roars echoed from below.
The plane took off a short distance, leaving behind the giant mutated animal that was chasing it.
"Captain!! A flock of mutated birds is following us!!"
The radar showed a flock of mutated birds chasing us, numbering over two hundred. Each of these mutated birds was enormous.
The Zhan Qun couldn't help but erupt in anger. "Damn it! We've only just left the base!"
"Prepare to fire."
The two planes mounted Crystal Core on their tails, aiming at the mutated birds that were chasing them. As they got close, they began firing.
The Crystal Core was powerful enough that it could severely injure any mutated bird it hit. However, the mutated birds behind it were flying incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were already above the plane.
The two largest of them had already reached the top of the plane, and when their heavy bodies landed, the entire fuselage trembled a few times.
"Charge out faster!" the Zhan Qun ordered.
Qi Feng quickly said, "No, accelerating in the air is challenging the authority of the mutated birds and will only attract even stronger ones. The most important thing is to find a way to deal with these mutated birds first."
Zhan Qun also knew the seriousness of the situation, but with so many mutated birds around them, they certainly couldn't deal with them all in a short time, and things would get complicated if it dragged on.
Qi Feng said, "Each of us will control a Crystal Core. With the aircraft's outer shell providing some protection, at least our safety is guaranteed."
Zhan Qun said, "Let's do it your way, split up and fight!"
Chapter 131 Unknown Forces Our supplies are still on that plane...
The plane immediately set up dozens of gun barrels, pointing in six directions: up, down, left, right, forward, and backward, and could change direction at any time.
Each person controlled a gun barrel, and the plane slowed down noticeably, skimming the ground. It lowered its wheels and began to run at high speed on the ground.
The mutated bird above lost its balance due to the sudden descent of the plane, and then slammed one of its feet heavily onto the top of the plane, making a loud thud.
Before it could make any further moves, Qi Feng had already set up his Crystal Core and fired three shots at its vulnerable neck, hitting it twice and successfully killing the mutated bird.
The other bird, still atop the plane, saw its companion killed and pecked at the top of the aircraft with its sharp beak, forcefully creating several deep and shallow marks. Qi Feng and Zhan Qun used their diagonally opposite Crystal Core to aim at the mutated bird's weak points and fired.
Sang Luoluo watched as the mutated bird above her head was slowly killed.
The dozens of mutated birds that were chasing after them had the advantage in the air, but now that they were on the ground, they could only swoop down to attack the two planes.
Sang Luoluo didn't want to hold anyone back. She sensed a mutated bird on the plane within a ten-meter radius using her Mental Power. The next moment, she pulled the mutated bird into the space with her Mental Power, controlled it with her consciousness, and simultaneously manipulated the Crystal Core to shoot it in the head.
After a few gunshots, she successfully killed the mutated bird in the space.
She couldn't help but feel fortunate that the airplane hull separated her from the mutated bird; otherwise, she would have become its food before she could even react and control it.
Having done it once, Sang Luoluo carefully used her Mental Power to sense the mutated birds within a ten-meter range. In order to catch more mutated birds, Sang Luoluo walked around the cabin while holding onto the cockpit. She sensed another mutated bird approaching the plane. Before it could land on the plane, the next moment, her Mental Power pulled it into the space.
Two shots pierced the mutated bird's head.
Qi Feng understood Sang Luoluo's abilities and wasn't surprised to see this. However, the others didn't realize it was Sang Luoluo's ability. They were a little puzzled when they saw two of the mutated birds suddenly disappearing from the scope. Before they could continue to be surprised, they focused all their attention on dealing with the mutated birds, firing their Crystal Core incessantly.
The plane suddenly accelerated, creating distance between itself and the mutated birds that were diving down. When the mutated birds swooped down again, the plane slowed down a bit, giving them time to snipe at the birds.
Sang Luoluo kept a close eye on whether any mutated birds were approaching. As soon as a mutated bird entered her control range, she immediately used her Mental Power to pull it into the space.
The carcasses of the mutated birds that had been killed outside lay on the ground, and no one dared to pick them up. If they stopped, the mutated animals living nearby would immediately come smelling them, and another fierce battle would ensue.
After finally dealing with this group of mutated birds, the remaining few, seeing their kind dead or wounded, dared not approach any further. They hovered in the air, seemingly waiting for their next attack.
Looking out the airplane window, Sang Luoluo saw a flock of mutated birds flying out in the distance. Everyone's expression was grim as the plane flew slowly close to the ground.
After that fierce battle, the cabin was already showing signs of dents and unevenness.
Some people complained, "After the meteor shower, these mutated birds seem to have grown even bigger."
Zhan Qun said, "Keep the planes on the ground, don't take off yet."
"Keep the Crystal Core operational at all times, remain on high alert, and focus on getting on the road."
"Yes."
Sang Luoluo took a break. There were two mutated bird corpses in the space, which she had just shot down. Sensing that there were Crystal Core inside the birds, Sang Luoluo used her consciousness to control the chainsaw in the space and spent a lot of effort to saw through their flesh.
They pulled out dozens of Crystal Core of various sizes, including two palm-sized black Crystal Core.
Sang Luoluo was overjoyed; this was exactly the kind of black Crystal Core she needed.
Just as I was about to dissect the other one, I heard someone outside say something.
"That's strange. I just noticed that two mutated birds suddenly disappeared. I've searched for them everywhere but can't find them. I don't know what happened."
"Captain, I can vouch for that. I noticed it too. I remember a mutated bird landing on top of our plane and then suddenly disappearing."
Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng exchanged a glance, then looked at the Captain Zhan and said, "I've taken care of those two."
Zhan Qun looked at her suspiciously, "You?"
He looked her up and down; her small frame screamed "frail."
Sang Luoluo nodded. "My abilities are limited, so I only managed to take care of two."
How did you do that?
Sang Luoluo said, "It's related to my evolutionary ability."
The Zhan Qun knew that he was the only one who knew about the supplies and other information about Sang Luoluo's place, so he stopped the man from asking any more questions and said, "Stay vigilant."
The plane was also very fast on the ground, but they were unlucky; an hour later, they were attacked again by mutated birds.
This time, however, it wasn't the mutated birds that were targeting them. Instead, another force launched pheromones that birds love onto their plane. The liquid covered a quarter of the plane's exterior, attracting the birds.
"Captain, we've been attacked by an unknown force."
"Their location cannot be marked at this time."
"The mutated birds have already charged over."
Zhan Qun said, "Prepare for battle."
She glanced at Qi Feng, signaling him to protect Sang Luoluo.
Yan Lang voice came through the headset from the plane ahead. "We've been attacked by an unknown force's pheromones. The entire plane is filled with pheromones. The mutated birds are already charging over; we probably can't escape."
"The plane may have been shot down."
The Zhan Qun knew the situation was bad and immediately stopped.
"Find the right opportunity to get on the plane behind."
Yan Lang looked at the supplies on the plane. "But these supplies..."
Zhan Qun said, "If we don't hurry, we won't be able to protect the supplies at the back."
"Yes."
Sang Luoluo listened from the side and whispered to Qi Feng beside her, "Are they going to abandon the supplies on that plane ahead?"
Qi Feng nodded.
He explained in a low voice, "We don't know how many people are in that group targeting us, or which base they're from. They've even used pheromones; they just want to seize our supplies. We have no other choice but to leave one vehicle behind to lure the mutated birds over, which will also keep those people occupied. All things considered, it's worth it."
Sang Luoluo found it all rather surreal. How could there be robbery on the way? They must have gotten used to the comfortable life in the base and never seen the brutality outside.
The passageway behind the plane opened, and Yan Lang activated his Crystal Core, initiating the automatic attack mode against the mutated birds. Carrying the mutated weapon, he rushed through the passageway.
At this moment, mutated birds swooped down and landed on the top of the plane in front, pecking at the fuselage with their sharp beaks, producing a dull yet loud thud.
Sang Luoluo sensed that several mutated birds had appeared within a fifty-meter radius, two of which landed on their plane within ten meters. Sang Luoluo immediately used her Mental Power to pull the two mutated birds into the space, and then fired shots, eliminating the two mutated birds in the space.
Soon, other mutated birds appeared. Seeing humans emerge from the plane, they charged directly at Yan Lang and his team. The Zhan Qun opened fire on the charging birds, successfully covering the advance of those in front. One of them slipped and was a fraction too slow, and was pecked in two by the mutated bird's sharp beak, leaving only his shoes in the passageway.
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, with no time to process any other emotions. The passageway closed the next moment, and the plane immediately sped off.
