Qi Feng nodded. "Be careful."
Both of them were wearing full protective gear, including gas masks. Sang Luoluo grabbed his hand and flashed into the cave outside.
The fire had almost burned out, and the red Crystal Core that had fallen to the ground were like crystals, with a very high concentration. Sang Luoluo sensed them and picked them up directly with her Mental Power.
The roots inside the cave were mostly burned, and there were still some places where the fire hadn't been extinguished, but the two of them could get through, so they didn't waste any more time. Sang Luoluo pulled him along as they floated over.
They sped up considerably and arrived in front of the enormous red Crystal Core.
Sang Luoluo reached out and touched it. The next moment, the Crystal Core was stored in the space. Without the support of the Crystal Core, many pebbles, ice blocks, and snow blocks collapsed in the original location.
Qi Feng reacted quickly, pulling her left and right to dodge, and they ran far away.
Sang Luoluo steadied herself. In terms of reaction speed, although she could sense it with her Mental Power, her body was always a step slower.
"Do you feel uncomfortable? Not used to it? Dizzy or nauseous?"
Sang Luoluo realized that what he was talking about might be a side effect of her absorbing the Crystal Core. Sang Luoluo shook her head, "I'm fine, I haven't absorbed it yet. We'll talk about it when it's safe to."
She was also afraid that she would faint in such a place.
Hearing this, Qi Feng felt relieved and quickly pulled her away. He had already realized when he entered her space that there was extra room inside, and that the size of her space that she had reported to the authorities was inflated. But this was better; preserving their strength was very important.
There's nothing wrong with thinking more about yourself.
Having achieved her goal, Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to lift the two of them upwards from the cave entrance. Sang Luoluo sensed that the mutated animals outside were still guarding the cave.
Chapter 143 Beast Tide [It's me, open the door.]...
After exchanging a glance with Qi Feng, Sang Luoluo had already used her Mental Power to set up 10 Crystal Core to suppress the mutated animals on top before she went out.
A few stray birds still managed to pounce, but before they could get close, Qi Feng had already taken them out with several shots.
The remaining mutated animals, which were further away, were injured by the Crystal Core that Sang Luoluo had set up, and their speed was slowed down a lot. Seeing this, Qi Feng Qi Feng had already killed several mutated animals in the distance.
After Sang Luoluo didn't waste any time. She used her Mental Power to collect the nearby mutated animal corpses, and then went to collect the corpses of mutated animals a few steps away. After that, she and Qi Feng quickly ran back to the car.
Lei Qi opened the car door to let them in, and after they got in, he immediately closed the door and drove away from the area.
While driving, Lei Qi asked, "Boss, why were you two down there for so long? We couldn't get in touch with you at all. There was smoke coming out of the cave entrance. Did you two start a fire inside?"
Qi Feng nodded. "Yes. A close call, but no real danger."
I'm not willing to say anything more.
After resting for a while and replenishing their strength, Zhan Qun had recovered considerably. He said, "I just tried to contact the base, and the signal suddenly improved. The base contacted people at Base No. 32 to come and meet us. We're still some distance from Base No. 32. Our original route is no longer feasible after the blizzard, so we need to take a detour."
Sang Luoluo asked, "Where are the others?"
Zhan Qun shook his head. "No distress signal, can't get in touch, the chances of survival are slim. The first thing I did after falling here was to contact my teammates. We already lost two members, and of the remaining few, only one survived."
"His condition isn't good either; he's still unconscious. If they encounter any unforeseen circumstances on the way, we don't know if he'll make it to Base No. 32 alive."
Qi Feng said, "There's no way around it. That's how it is in the wild. If you miss the golden rescue time, it's hard to say what will happen later."
Zhan Qun said, "The signal suddenly improved just now, but I haven't been able to contact the rest of the people. We'll probably have to walk the rest of the way by ourselves."
"This is my newly planned route, Lei Qi, drive according to this."
So many people came out, and in such a short time, only a few remain. Everyone else is used to it, but Sang Luoluo feels a tightness in her chest. Human life is so fragile. If she didn't have her spatial ability and so many abundant supplies, she simply can't imagine what would have happened.
Shaking off the sorrowful emotions in her mind, she began to use her consciousness to dissect the corpses of the mutated animals she had collected.
These corpses couldn't be kept for long, Sang Luoluo couldn't bear to part with the Crystal Core inside, so she naturally had to deal with them as soon as possible.
Qi Feng and Lei Qi kept an eye on the mutated animals around them. Qi Feng would occasionally fire and kill a few, but their numbers suddenly increased, so Qi Feng reminded Sang Luoluo, "Throw two to the back."
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to throw out two bloody, dissected mutated animal carcasses.
The mutated animals chasing their car stopped; it would be foolish not to eat the meat that was practically in their mouths.
Seeing this, Lei Qi quickened his pace.
Zhan Qun looked at the mutated animal carcasses that Sang Luoluo kept throwing down along the way—there were no fewer than twenty already—and felt mostly envy and jealousy. How many Crystal Core must have been dug out?
Lei Qi had been driving all night and was exhausted by dawn, as were the others.
Suggestion: "How about we take a break?"
Qi Feng said, "I'm rested. I'll drive. The Zhan Qun will stay on alert, and the rest of you can rest."
He glanced at Sang Luoluo as he spoke, "Especially you, you should rest. We'll need you later."
Sang Luoluo was also nearing her limit, and nodded, "Be careful."
She took out a soft cushion and pillow from her storage space, leaned against them, and fell asleep instantly. At that moment, she didn't care that she was all dirty; she was just too tired and sleepy.
Lei Qi also curled up and fell asleep next to them. Now that there were fewer people in the car, it was quite spacious for the few of them.
The others remained silent. The Zhan Qun set up Crystal Core, and Crystal Core were also mounted on the roof of the vehicle. Qi Feng saw mutated animals chasing after them, so he clicked the fire button while driving. The vehicle moved quickly, and the mutated animals behind them were being killed rapidly.
Having rested well, He Fei was unwilling to be a burden. His evolved ability was his eyes, so he leaned back in his chair, keeping an eye on his surroundings, ready to notify them immediately if anything happened.
Sang Luoluo was woken up; it was already dark. Lei Qi was also woken up; the car couldn't stop yet, so Lei Qi took over driving.
If they continue traveling at this speed, they should reach Base No. 32 by tomorrow night.
If they're lucky, they might run into the people from Base No. 32 who come out to greet them.
My stomach started growling.
He glanced at Qi Feng and asked, "Have you guys not eaten all day?"
Everyone was out of supplies, except for Qi Feng, who had a bulging backpack that he hadn't used yet.
Sang Luoluo took out several bags of nutrient solution and divided them up, saying, "These are supplies I took on the plane. You don't need to give me an IOU for these."
The others couldn't resist picking up their nutrient solutions and drinking them.
Sang Luoluo had just woken up. She took a few sips of mineral water to moisten her throat and gave a He Fei of water to Qi Feng, and Lei Qi.
Yan Lang said, "Write an IOU."
Zhan Qun saw the bottled water Sang Luoluo was carrying. "This water must have come from Grandpa CC's Farm. Could I have a bottle? I'll write you an IOU."
Sang Luoluo nodded, tossed a bottle to each of them, and received an IOU.
After Qi Feng replenished his strength, he leaned over to rest. Sang Luoluo sat up. She was in charge of guard duty that night. Although her marksmanship was not as good as others, He Fei could still keep up. He could now set up the Crystal Core and sniping from there without any problem.
There were several bangs, followed by muffled thuds and something falling to the ground.
You don't need to turn on your lights when driving at night; they illuminate the snow very clearly.
Sang Luoluo sensed a mutated animal approaching within a ten-meter radius. She immediately used her Mental Power to pull it into her spatial dimension. After a nap, her Mental Power recovered and became much more acute.
The watch beeped twice.
Sang Yunpu sent a message asking if she was safe.
Sang Luoluo replied with a message that she was fine, but the signal outside was bad and she couldn't reply to the message in time.
Sang Yunpu told her to take good care of herself while she was out there, and not to be careless in the wild.
Sang Luoluo replied when she had some free time.
Then I focused on sensing the situation outside. My brother was right; we can't be careless in the wild.
At this time, things were not peaceful at Base 71.
Sang Luoluo and the others had barely left when the base ran into trouble.
Mutant animals invaded the base, catching everyone off guard.
A small portion of the first wave of mutated animals has already infiltrated the base, roaming around aimlessly. The authorities have dispatched teams to clear them out, but this won't be a quick process. Moreover, the mutated animals prefer to hide in remote and secluded places, carry unknown viruses, and will actively attack people when extremely hungry, making them very dangerous.
Therefore, people inside the base were filled with anxiety.
After reading the base's official notice, Sang Yunpu knew that his home was no longer safe, especially since Sang Luoluo had left him food and water in the basement. These things were fine to leave there normally, but now that mutated animals had entered the base, their sense of smell was so keen that they might target his home.
With this in mind, Sang Yunpu closed his black market shop for a few days and brought back all the canned goods from the shop.
Let Xiao Li go home and rest first; we'll talk about it after this brief beast tide has passed.
