Qi Feng didn't say any of this. It was clear that Sang Luoluo was already very timid in this environment, and there was no need to make her even more afraid.
Qi Feng checked his watch and said, "There's a locator on that car. I've found its signal. It's a few kilometers away. Let's head there first."
Sang Luoluo nodded, and the two slowly moved through the wind and snow, relying entirely on their own two legs, while also guarding against the risk of being blown away by the strong wind at any moment.
In this kind of weather, even mutated animals dare not come out.
The two of them made their way forward, but didn't encounter many mutated animals.
They traveled all night, and just as dawn broke, the snowstorm finally stopped. Their watches showed they were still about two kilometers away from the car.
After this period of training, Sang Luoluo's physical fitness had improved considerably. Having walked all night, she was almost at her limit and suggested, "Let's rest for a bit; I'm hungry and tired."
Qi Feng nodded, Sang Luoluo took out the container. The two stopped and sat down to rest. Breakfast consisted of soy milk, fried dough sticks, and steamed buns, which was quite substantial.
Sang Luoluo felt she had used up a lot of energy, so she drank three large bowls of soy milk, ate three fried dough sticks, and two steamed buns by herself. Qi Feng ate about the same amount as her, knowing he had eaten quite a lot, and was only thinking about finding more Crystal Core for her later.
After resting for twenty minutes, Sang Luoluo packed up the container, and the two set off again.
Sang Luoluo's watch beeped twice. She glanced down and exclaimed, "It's Lei Qi! He's still alive. This is his landmark!"
He's calling for help.
Sang Luoluo showed Qi Feng his distress message.
Qi Feng said, "The fastest way is for us to find that car first, and then drive there to find the other people."
Remembering her motorcycle, Qi Feng said, "Your motorcycle..."
Sang Luoluo waved her hand and took it out, "What a pity, there's only one."
Qi Feng said, "The weapons at Base No. 32 are very advanced. Once we get to the base, we'll find an opportunity to purchase some weapons."
Sang Luoluo's eyes lit up as she listened, and she asked, "Have you been to Base No. 32 before?"
Qi Feng nodded. "I went there once before when I was on a mission. Base No. 32 started out by farming, so it should be one of the bases that doesn't lack food. I just don't know why it took the initiative to exchange weapons for food with Base 71 this winter. I guess it's probably because of the meteor shower."
The wind had died down a bit, but just in case, Qi Feng still had Sang Luoluo bring out two large stones and tied them to the sides of the motorcycle, one on each side, to add weight. Qi Feng drove, and Sang Luoluo sat in the back, clinging tightly to Qi Feng's waist. In this kind of weather, if she lost her grip, Sang Luoluo would be thrown off.
Qi Feng didn't drive fast in the forest, especially in the snow; one wrong step and he could easily fall into a ditch.
The motorcycle sped across the snow, covering a short distance of two kilometers. Qi Feng drove very steadily, much better than the two of them walking. However, this made them very vulnerable to attacks from mutated animals, especially mutated birds from the sky.
They hovered in the air, surveying their territory below, when the fast-moving motorcycle suddenly caught their attention.
Qi Feng was a little nervous and asked, "If the mutated birds attack, can you handle it?"
Sang Luoluo nodded. "It should be fine."
She can control the area within 10 meters. If the mutated birds are too fast, she might not be able to react in time. But there's no other way now.
For some reason, even though she knew it would be dangerous, she felt unusually excited.
She realized what she was thinking and wanted to slap herself. Had she already gotten tired of living after only a few days of good fortune?
Qi Feng's prediction was correct. The mutated birds quickly set their sights on the two of them, swooping down one after another. When the first mutated bird approached within fifty meters of her, Sang Luoluo tensed up, her mind on high alert, staring intently at the bird's movements. The instant it reached within her controllable 10-meter range, she immediately used her Mental Power to pull it into her spatial dimension.
Immediately following, a second mutated bird approached them. Just as it was about to get close, Sang Luoluo pulled it into the space, using her consciousness to eliminate both mutated birds with her Crystal Core within the space.
The other mutated birds circling in the air seemed to notice that their kind had suddenly disappeared, but their limited intelligence prevented them from understanding the evolutionary capabilities of the humans below. They simply followed behind, looking for an opportunity to swoop down and kill them in one strike.
After taking down two mutated animals, Sang Luoluo was sweating profusely with tension, her soul almost floating, yet she remained highly vigilant.
Qi Feng's deep voice rang out from the front. "You've done very well, just hold on for a few more minutes."
"The road ahead is not easy to travel, you'd better hurry," Qi Feng said.
Just as Sang Luoluo was tense, a mutated wildcat darted out of a nearby tree hollow. It was about the size of an adult and moved with incredible agility. Sang Luoluo sensed it with her Mental Power, and Qi Feng also noticed it. Before Sang Luoluo could react, the moment the wildcat jumped out, Qi Feng nimbly bent over, dodging the overhead branches. Then, using his advantageous vantage point, he gripped his Crystal Core pistol in one hand and slew the mutated wildcat with a bang.
A single blow to the forehead is fatal.
The next moment, the mutated bird seized the opportunity to swoop down. Qi Feng made a nimble turn, avoiding its attack. When it entered her controllable range, Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to pull it into space and deal with it.
She let out a long sigh of relief. The next moment, a huge jolt nearly sent her flying. She clung tightly to Qi Feng's clothes, barely managing to steady herself as they began to descend the slope. Qi Feng sped down the slope on his motorcycle, Sang Luoluo nearly fell off several times. She also had to worry about the mutated birds swooping down from above. Under these circumstances, three mutated birds swooped down together. Qi Feng steadied the motorcycle and fired two shots.
Startled and distracted, the three mutated birds were immediately silenced by Sang Luoluo's deployment of ten Crystal Core, which provided aerial firepower. The three mutated birds, sensing the firepower of the Crystal Core, knew they had no chance of escape. Their massive bodies were riddled with holes by the Crystal Core, and their corpses fell to the ground.
Qi Feng dodged the falling corpses, and as he turned a corner, Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to collect their bodies into her spatial storage. There were still Crystal Core inside, so why not take them?
There was a car lying on its side at the bottom of the slope. Qi Feng reminded them, "Found it."
Chapter 138 We'll Do It Ourselves Lei Qi raised his eyes to look at Qi Feng, then looked...
Taking advantage of the absence of mutated animals, Qi Feng sped up and rode his motorcycle to the car.
Qi Feng went down to check first. There were no mutated animals hiding in the car, and there were two people inside.
Qi Feng gestured for Sang Luoluo to come and take a look as well.
Sang Luoluo her hand to put the motorcycle into her spatial storage and quickly walked over.
There were two people inside, already unconscious. Bloodstains were still visible.
"I'll go in and take a look." Qi Feng said, opening the car door and getting in. He recognized the two people inside; they were Zhan Qun's men. They were already lifeless, with bloodstains on their helmets and wounds on their bodies.
He looked like he'd been struck by a heavy object. Turning around, he shook his head at Sang Luoluo: "No breath. We're not sure if he died from the impact in the blizzard or from freezing to death here."
The two people's bodies had been stiff for a long time.
Sang Luoluo asked, "Then what should I do? Should I put their bodies into my spatial storage, take them back to the base, and give them to their families later?"
Qi Feng said, "If that's the case, then that's for the best."
Qi Feng picked up his wristwatch and recorded a video. He had no choice; it was the best way to give the base and their families an explanation.
Sang Luoluo placed their bodies separately in the Stasis Zone.
Qi Feng looked at Sang Luoluo with some helplessness. He needed her Mental Power to right the car; he couldn't move such a big thing by himself.
Sang Luoluo received his instructions and used her Mental Power to turn the car over and tidy up the mess of supplies and items inside.
After a blizzard, almost all the supplies that were originally on the vehicle were gone, and now even the people are nowhere to be found. The supplies have long since been scattered somewhere, and it's impossible to get them back.
Qi Feng checked the car's functions and found that they were still working normally; some damage could be ignored for the time being. " Sang Luoluo, get in."
Sang Luoluo sat in the passenger seat, closed the car door, and the car was powered by Crystal Core. Qi Feng turned on the heater, and the temperature inside the car slowly rose.
Qi Feng located Lei Qi's position, a few kilometers away from them, not too far. He kept the signal on to see if he could contact the others. He started the car and drove quickly through the snow.
Its enormous size quickly attracted the attention of the mutated birds in the air. Qi Feng activated the Crystal Core on the vehicle; even if it missed, it could still cause some disruption.
" Sang Luoluo, we still need you. Watch out for those mutated birds. They're very clever. After that battle, they won't be sent to their deaths one by one like before."
Sang Luoluo: "Yes, I know what I'm doing. If it doesn't work, I'll use Crystal Core to suppress it."
It just consumes more Crystal Core.
Now, after real-world experience, she realized that the training in the lab was too conservative. In just a short time in the wild, she felt she had gained some experience in dealing with mutated birds.
There are only two of them now, one driving and the other keeping watch. They have no choice; without the vehicle's sturdy exterior for protection, they would be in even greater danger exposed to the elements.
The mutated birds quickly spotted the two of them. Three mutated birds swooped down together, two of them landing directly on the car. The moment Sang Luoluo noticed their slowed movements, she pulled them into her spatial dimension. The Crystal Core on the car activated. The third mutated bird, realizing its companion was gone and under attack from the Crystal Core, flapped its wings and created distance.
