There was no time to say anything else, so Sang Luoluo could only do as she was told. Qi Feng absorbed Crystal Core whenever he had free time these days. He kept all the Crystal Core he had obtained while following Sang Luoluo on his trips for absorption.
His evolutionary abilities were also steadily improving. In terms of running speed, he was almost the same as Lei Qi. Sang Luoluo watched as he leaped up the tree at great speed, not forgetting to turn around and shoot the two mutated animals chasing after him. His marksmanship was very accurate, and after several shots, he ensured that the two mutated animals were completely dead.
Lei Qi was there to provide support.
The other mutated animals, those further away, dared not approach under Sang Luoluo's suppressive fire. Although they were very tempted by these delicious humans, they were not stupid and would not rush to get shot in the face of powerful firepower.
After climbing the tree, Qi Feng carried the severely injured He Fei on his back. Seeing He Fei's bloody wounds, he dared not think what would have happened if He Fei had arrived any later, and whispered, "Hold on a little longer."
He Fei's eyes had lost their former brilliance. It was already a miracle that he had held on this long. He said weakly, "Boss, I knew you would come to save me."
Qi Feng glanced at Yan Lang beside him, "Stay close to me."
Yan Lang didn't dare waste any time and didn't dare say a word of nonsense. He followed Qi Feng down the tree, and Lei Qi came over to meet them and cover them as they walked towards the car.
As the two animals charged fearlessly towards him, Lei Qi faced them head-on, threw a punch, missed, and was pulled into the space by Sang Luoluo's Mental Power.
Qi Feng opened the car door, and Yan Lang was the first to rush up into the carriage. He was too exhausted to struggle any further. Qi Feng carried He Fei inside, and Lei Qi brought up the rear, closing the door and taking the driver's seat.
Sang Luoluo reminded them, "Don't rush off. Walk around the corpses first. I'll collect them all; they're full of Crystal Core, and there are even some black Crystal Core I need inside."
Lei Qi did as he was told. He drove around in a circle, Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to collect all the mutated animal corpses within a 10-meter radius into her spatial storage. There were more than forty large mutated animals, according to her estimation.
The mutated animals that were far away seized the opportunity to follow, keeping a certain distance, seemingly aware that these few were not to be trifled with, yet unwilling to let their prey slip away.
Lei Qi turned around and headed towards the location of the Zhan Qun.
Sang Luoluo glanced behind her; about fifty meters away, several mutated animals were following her at a distance that wasn't too close.
Sang Luoluo sighed, "They've got their eyes on us."
Qi Feng said, "Don't worry about them for now. Sang Luoluo, do you have any medicine? He Fei's injuries are quite serious."
Yan Lang then spoke up, "I'm injured too, Sang Luoluo. I lost my pack. Can I borrow your medicine for now? I'll give you double compensation when we get back to base."
Qi Feng said, "Write an IOU first; we won't acknowledge verbal promises."
Yan Lang gave a soft shout, but there was nothing he could do. Sang Luoluo, seeing how obedient she was to Qi Feng, resignedly said, "Fine."
He immediately wrote an electronic IOU on his wristwatch and sent it to Sang Luoluo. It contained his real-time facial recognition data, making it impossible for anyone else to fake.
Knowing he was in a bad situation, with all his brothers dead and nowhere to be seen, he said, "I didn't do anything to He Fei's injuries. I just happened to spot him nearby, and the two of us forced ourselves to climb that tree, working together to hold on until now."
Don't hold a grudge against me.
Qi Feng glanced at him. If it weren't for the fact that Elder Yan a high-ranking member of the Guard, and that he had several brothers in the Guard, he wouldn't care about Yan Lang's life or death.
Sang Luoluo waved her hand and took out two first-aid kits.
He Fei, now considered one of their own, said, "Is that enough? I still have some life-saving potions."
Qi Feng looked up at Sang Luoluo. He was already very grateful that she was willing to take out the life-saving potion under these circumstances, and said, "Not for now, the first aid kit is enough."
Lei Qi was extremely envious. "Girl, you even carry life-saving potions with you now."
Sang Luoluo shrugged helplessly, "Just in case."
Yan Lang fell silent. With his family's power, life-saving potions weren't considered particularly precious medical resources. However, the entire package he had brought with him was lost in a blizzard and couldn't be found. It had fallen into the wild and would have been torn to shreds by wild animals in no time, leaving not even a trace.
"If I need it, can I use it? Just lend it to me, and I'll pay you back double when I get back."
Yan Lang had a bad feeling. He had nothing on him right now, and there was still a long way to go to Base No. 32. He would have to rely on Sang Luoluo for help along the way, otherwise, he would really be doomed.
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo said, "It depends. I don't have much, but if I have any extra, I can lend it to you, but you'll need to write an IOU."
Qi Feng looked at Yan Lang and said in a low voice, "You... you'd better watch yourself."
Although I really don't want to care whether he lives or dies.
There's nothing we can do.
Qi Feng was quite familiar with this situation, having experienced many dangerous predicaments. He immediately assigned tasks to everyone, " Lei Qi, focus on driving. Mutant animals are very good at ambushes, so be careful to dodge. Also, there are many obstacles ahead, so be cautious."
" Sang Luoluo, stay alert. I need to treat their wounds now and can't help for the time being. Just hold them off and keep watch. As long as those mutated animals can't get in, you can handle them."
Sang Luoluo agreed; there was no other way now, she had to stand up for herself.
Qi Feng was right. As soon as the car drove off, it alerted the nearby mutated animals, who chased after it. Seeing that there were many mutated animals, Sang Luoluo quickly threw out a mutated animal carcass.
Some of the mutated animals stopped to snatch food and temporarily gave up the chase, but others continued to pursue relentlessly. The larger and faster ones pounced directly onto the roof of the car.
Lei Qi had tried his best to dodge, but he was no match for the agility of those mutated animals.
At this time, in the wild, there are not only mutated animals running on the ground, but also mutated birds in the air.
Fortunately, as soon as the mutated animal touched the car, Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to pull it into the space, where the Crystal Core killed it instantly.
Sang Luoluo didn't dare to relax for a moment, as the roof of the car already had several dents.
With no other option, Lei Qi had to speed up the car.
Qi Feng laid He Fei down and saw that he had many wounds, including several bloody holes from being bitten by mutated animals. He took out some hemostatic medicine and quickly bandaged the wounds.
The first-aid kit was almost empty.
Qi Feng helped him put on some clothes and gave him a bag of nutritional fluids, then let He Fei rest on the chair next to him to recover his strength.
Yan Lang couldn't reach the wound on his back because his arms weren't long enough. Seeing that Qi Feng had finished his work, he said, "Hey, give me a hand."
Seeing this, Qi Feng coldly accepted the bandages and medicine, quickly applying the medicine and bandaging the wound in one smooth motion.
Yan Lang winced in pain, "Can you be a little gentler?!"
Qi Feng uttered a few words calmly. "There's no time!"
After quickly treating Yan Lang's wounds, Qi Feng told him to get dressed and pack his medicine kit. Then, carrying the Crystal Core, he leaned out the window and fired shots at the mutated animals that were relentlessly pursuing him.
His marksmanship was excellent; the mutants he hit never caught up. They either fell behind and became food for other mutants, or died from excessive blood loss or slowed down.
With Qi Feng's arrival, Sang Luoluo's pressure was greatly reduced.
Another message came from the Zhan Qun: "Can you guys hurry up? I can't hold on much longer."
Upon hearing this, Qi Feng replied in a low voice, "Try to hold on for a little longer. We're doing our best to get there."
Sang Luoluo chimed in, "Yes, let's hang in there a little longer, we're being chased by mutated animals too."
They quickly shook off the mutated animals behind them and were able to catch their breath for a while.
Lei Qi asked, "The car is almost out of power, Sang Luoluo, do you have any Crystal Core?"
Sang Luoluo out and took two Crystal Core, stuffing them into the car's energy compartment.
The energy level instantly reached its maximum.
During her temporary rest, Sang Luoluo didn't idle around. Her consciousness dissected the corpses of the mutated animals she had collected in the space. In order to be fast, she used several Crystal Core knives to cut open the intestines of the mutated animals at the same time. Blood gushed out, and the Crystal Core inside flew out under the control of Sang Luoluo's will. The useless corpses were piled up by Sang Luoluo.
You also need to keep an eye on what's happening outside the car.
Despite the intense tension, Sang Luoluo felt excited. Although she was tired, her control over her Mental Power seemed to have become more refined.
He dissected the corpses of more than twenty mutated animals in one go, and took out nearly 100 Crystal Core, including 7 black Crystal Core.
She was very content.
Yan Lang hesitated for a while, then sent Sang Luoluo an IOU: "I'm hungry, can I borrow a few bags of nutritional fluid?"
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo confirmed the IOU and tossed him several bags of nutrient solution.
It's strawberry flavored; I still haven't finished the nutrient solution I stocked up on before.
Chapter 141 Tree Roots and Cocoons First, I'll take them both back to the car, then...
After a bumpy and stumbling journey, it was late at night before they finally reached the vicinity of the Zhan Qun's location.
The car slowed down, and Qi Feng tried to contact the Zhan Qun, but the signal seemed to be poor, intermittent, and he couldn't finish a sentence.
"I... am... in... hiding... secretly..."
Qi Feng checked the vehicle's signal system and said, "This is bad, our signal is also bad. Something nearby is interfering with our signal."
