Sang Luoluo understood.
Compared to Base 71, the other bases also have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they trade with each other to obtain survival resources.
The convoy set off again, and the scenery along the way began to change. One of the mountains looked somewhat familiar to her, as did the road beneath her feet. Although the area was covered in ice and snow, and many roads had changed, she was very familiar with the shape of the mountain peaks.
How should I put it? It's exactly the same as her hometown before she transmigrated.
Huh? How come they look so alike?
Sang Luoluo opened her wristwatch and searched for the topographical map of Base No. 32, as well as its location map. Sang Luoluo fell silent...
My mood has changed somewhat.
Qi Feng noticed that Sang Luoluo beside him had a somewhat low aura. She had been staring at the map on her wristwatch for five minutes without moving. What was she thinking?
After a long silence, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem?"
Sang Luoluo shook her head, turned off her watch, looked out the window, and a few tears welled up in her eyes.
She controlled her emotions, blinked, and forced back her tears.
No wonder it felt familiar; the location of Base No. 32 was her hometown before she transmigrated.
If she hadn't seen the familiar hills and terrain, she wouldn't have thought to look at the map and examine it carefully. For the past six months at Base 71, she had been busy with survival issues and hadn't had time to think about these problems at all.
Now, seeing this scene brings back painful memories, and my heart feels heavy. Three hundred years ago, that meteorite shower—are my family still alive?
If they were there, what happened to them? Did they survive at Base No. 32?
Qi Feng suddenly placed both hands on Sang Luoluo's shoulders, thinking she was feeling unwell and looking strange, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Sang Luoluo pursed her lips and said gently, "I miss home."
Qi Feng: "..."
Hearing this, Lei Qi chuckled and said, "We've only been out for a few days. Once we've finished our business, we can go back."
After saying that, he propped his head up with one hand and sighed, "I've come out and stayed in such a dangerous place. I don't know what will happen when I get back?"
There's a sense of powerlessness, a feeling that life and death are not in your own hands.
He Fei leaned against the wall, resting silently. Lei Qi thought this way, which wasn't surprising.
Seeing that everyone's morale was low, Qi Feng said in a low voice, "We'll talk about the future later. We've survived such danger, so we'll have no problem getting back."
No one spoke. Sang Luoluo quickly regained her previous energy and fell asleep again against the carriage.
The car swayed and rattled. Night fell, and another wave of mutated animals attacked, this time in greater numbers. The area they were passing through was mutated animal territory; anyone trying to pass through would naturally be targeted.
Not only are there mutated rats, but also mutated weasels and mutated wolves, each one wanting their lives.
The light emanating from the Crystal Core outside never stopped.
He Fei set up the Crystal Core through the window and fired several shots, each shot taking down a mutated animal, hitting its vitals.
The other two members of Base No. 32 in the carriage had also joined the battle.
Zhan Qun said, " Qi Feng, you stay with me and defend from behind. The rest of you can rest."
These mutated animals were incredibly agile, able to dodge enemy fire, and strangely rushed onto the carriages. Zhan Qun and Qi Feng had seen this scene countless times before, only now the mutated animals were even faster.
Sang Luoluo didn't dare to be careless. She dodged left and right as the two mutated rats rushed from under the car to the back compartment. As they crawled quickly, their sharp claws slashed across Qi Feng's arm, leaving a bloody gash. Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to pull herself into a spatial dimension, but she was still a step too slow.
This thing is too fast, and it appeared too suddenly.
In order to reach Base No. 32 as quickly as possible, the convoy did not stop and continued to move at a fast speed.
Sang Luoluo noticed the mutated animals that had landed on the carriage, pulled all of them within a 10-meter radius into the space, and dealt with them using her Crystal Core.
Of the two members from Base No. 32 who originally went out, one died, and the other returned to guard the back door with them.
The man said, "Close the back door of the carriage. Those mutated animals won't be able to get in."
Zhan Qun and Qi Feng had no choice but to retreat, press the switch, and the back door closed quickly.
The sound of mutated animals crashing into the carriage could be faintly heard, but it quickly disappeared.
Sang Luoluo has solved everything she could.
The lights inside the carriage came on, and pulling Qi Feng's arm, she saw the bloody gash. "You're injured."
Qi Feng frowned. "Hmm."
He Fei and Lei Qi sidled up, their faces filled with worry. "They were scratched by mutated rats. We don't know if they've contracted the virus."
Sang Luoluo didn't want him to get infected from a wound, so she said, "Let's treat it first."
As she spoke, she pulled him to sit down. With other people around, Sang Luoluo rummaged in her backpack, took out a small basin, and then took out a bottle of Spirit Spring Water to rinse the wound.
Sang Luoluo didn't know how effective the Spirit Spring Water was. She had used it to clean her Spirit Spring Water when she was injured before, and it helped her heal quickly. Moreover, Dr. Wang had mentioned in the lab that the Spirit Spring Water contained a special kind of energy.
The person from Base No. 32 recognized the bottle of mineral water Sang Luoluo was using and clicked his tongue, saying, "How extravagant, using mineral water from the farm store to clean her wounds."
Lei Qi glared at him. This was their boss. What was a bottle of mineral water compared to that? Their boss's life wasn't more important than that.
He Fei said, "If only we had a life-saving potion, the wounds could heal quickly."
Lei Qi rolled his eyes at him. "We can't afford something so precious."
He Fei said, "Now we have Crystal Core, don't we? We've looked for quite a few Crystal Core along the way."
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo exclaimed, "Life-saving potion? I have one."
I pulled one out of my bag; it was one that the lab had applied for but hadn't used before.
Qi Feng stopped her, "This thing is very precious, and it's not easy to buy."
He hadn't expected her to be willing to give him something so expensive. Lei Qi and He Fei were also surprised, as were the other people in the carriage.
The person from Base No. 32 spoke up again, "He was just scratched by a rat, he might not die. He's Evolver, his resistance to viruses is much stronger than that of ordinary people."
Sang Luoluo hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, "But there's still a possibility that it's not true. You can buy more life potions, but if you lose your life, it's really over."
Without saying a word, Sang Luoluo gave him an injection. She had two spare vials of this stuff in her spatial storage; she would find a way to buy some more once they arrived at Base No. 32.
He soon began to feel the wound again, and Qi Feng felt a warmth in his heart. He was just someone who protected her, yet she had given him such a precious life-saving medicine.
Lei Qi and He Fei were silent for a moment; it would be a lie to say they weren't moved.
Chapter 148 Dinner: How many days will we stay here?
After using the life-saving potion, Qi Feng's wounds are slowly healing, and he is expected to be fully recovered once he reaches Base No. 32.
The convoy drove through the area surrounding Base No. 32, where there were far fewer traces of mutated animals. Even when they were encountered, their numbers were extremely small, posing virtually no danger.
Sang Luoluo and the others were finally able to relax a little and take a break.
Sang Luoluo propped her eyelids open and looked out the window. These roads, which she used to run frequently before transmigrating, still vaguely resembled her former self after three hundred years. The terrain here was open and suitable for planting, and there were also many dried leaves and vines of mutated crops nearby. Indeed, three hundred years ago, this was a large area of farmland.
The entrance to Base No. 32 can be seen in the distance. It is larger than Base 71 and has an energy shield on the outside. It is also powered by Crystal Core and is the first line of defense for the base's security.
The convoy swiped their cards at the entrance and headed straight for the base center.
The Zhan Qun woke everyone up. "Wake up, we've arrived!"
Everyone curiously looked out the window. Due to the meteor shower, Base No. 32 had lost its former prosperity. On the streets, one could vaguely see people fighting and robbing, while some shops were still open for business.
Some buildings were damaged by the meteor shower and are no longer habitable, while others sustained minor damage and are still under repair.
Base 71 was not so lucky. When the first meteor shower arrived, it happened to coincide with an earthquake, resulting in the loss of many people and the destruction of many houses. The losses were enormous, which made it incomparable to Base No. 32.
Although Base 71 responded to the disaster in a timely manner, human strength is ultimately limited in the face of natural disasters.
Sang Luoluo deeply moved.
Captain Sang Ping led them to a hotel and arranged a large suite for each of them. "You can rest for a bit. I need to go with the Captain Zhan to the base commander to hand over the mission. We'll call you if needed. You'd better not leave this building until the mission handover is complete."
Sang Luoluo and the others nodded.
The hotel offers medical services, but you have to pay for the Crystal Core yourself.
However, He Fei and Yan Lang were more seriously injured, so it would be best to see a doctor to treat their wounds, just to be on the safe side. The first aid they received on the way was just emergency treatment, which is definitely not as good as professional treatment.
After the Zhan Qun left, the doctor quickly came up.
After examining Yan Lang He Fei's injuries, they were not fatal; the external wounds only needed simple stitches. As for the other member of the Zhan Qun, his injuries were more serious, and it was good enough that he survived. The doctor prescribed some medicine and told him to rest well and recuperate for a while after waking up.
The cost is a bit high; according to the farm store's Crystal Core counting rule that will soon be applied, it requires 1044 Crystal Core.
