Sang Luoluo nodded. "I've heard about it too. During my trip to Base No. 32, I also met the planting expert, Sang Tong, the base manager of Base No. 32, who is my cousin."
Sang Yunpu blushed a little because Sang Luoluo called him that so naturally. It was truly astonishing that he had suddenly gained such a relative, especially one who was the base commander.
Sang Yunpu asked with concern, "How did you get along with your cousin at Base No. 32? Are all the base commanders particularly serious and intimidating?"
Sang Luoluo shook her head. "No, that's not true. He's a nice guy. You'll see when you come with me to Base No. 32 sometime. Thanks to my cousin, I even bought two extra growth potions. I have a mission in a few days, so I'll leave you a few potions before I go."
"What? You bought growth potions? Oh, if the base chief helped you, that's not surprising. Having such a new relative out of nowhere is quite unusual."
Listening to this, Qi Xue was beyond speechless with astonishment. This brother and sister seemed quite ordinary, yet the things they did were increasingly astonishing. Qi Feng, on the other hand, remained calm and unperturbed.
She still needs to learn that composure.
Qi Feng quickly finished his meal, grabbed the Crystal Core pistol, and went outside.
Within minutes, Sang Luoluo noticed that the three mutated rats that had been moving around on it were dead. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Wow, that was fast."
After a while, Qi Feng cleaned the eight Crystal Core he had dug out and placed them in front of Sang Luoluo.
Sang Luoluo put it away, and after finishing her meal, she didn't forget to go up and collect the mutated rat's corpse. There was no way to deal with the blood left on the ground; cleaning it up would be too much trouble. If any other mutated animals came, the four of them could handle them.
After finishing her meal, Sang Luoluo went to rest. She closed the door, took a comfortable hot bath in her room, planted vegetables for half an hour, and then fell into a deep sleep.
Sang Yunpu was quite excited. The thought of getting treatment for his leg tomorrow filled him with indescribable excitement, and he didn't fall asleep until late that night.
Qi Xue went to bed early. She and Sang Yunpu had been taking turns keeping watch for days, and their spirits had never been relaxed. Now that there were enough people, she could get a good rest. Due to her past experience in wilderness survival, she could fall asleep in seconds whenever she had a break.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Qi Feng sat down in the living room to absorb Crystal Core. He was on night watch tonight, and whenever he had a spare moment, he would absorb Crystal Core. Since following Sang Luoluo, he had no shortage of Crystal Core to enhance his abilities. Tonight, he felt that the bottleneck he had been facing for many days was about to be broken.
Looking at the Crystal Core in his hand, he decided to take the risk. The environment in the wild was becoming increasingly harsh, and there was a beast tide at the base. After winter, the wild would only become more and more dangerous, so he had to improve his abilities as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he replaced the Crystal Core in his palm with three Crystal Core of the same color. Abundant energy surged into his body, and the impact of the energy made his soul tremble.
His head was spinning, he felt like he was about to faint, and he was nauseous. He knew his body had its limits, but he was on the verge of a breakthrough and didn't want to miss the opportunity. He gritted his teeth and persevered; he was just a little bit away.
In a daze, a shackle within his body was broken, and he felt a lightness all over his body; he had broken through.
He forced himself to stay awake, but he was exhausted and drowsy, so he leaned against the edge of the sofa and fell asleep.
I woke up two hours later, feeling a surge of energy within me, which brought me joy.
He continued to keep watch while absorbing the Crystal Core. After breaking through, he could now absorb the energy of three Crystal Core simultaneously.
In the middle of the night, he heard faint noises coming from the ground. Qi Feng immediately opened his eyes, tiptoed to the ground, dealt with six mutated rats, and dug out the Crystal Core, harvesting 16. He didn't touch the corpses of the mutated animals, letting the bloody smell spread to attract more mutated rats.
Sang Luoluo soundly until dawn, finally getting a good night's sleep after several days.
I washed up, ate breakfast, and waited for Dr. Li to come to my house today.
Upon exiting, they saw over 100 Crystal Core laid out on the table. Qi Feng gestured for her to put them away.
Sang Luoluo walked over, "Why are there so many?"
These Crystal Core are all translucent, clearly indicating that they have been cleaned.
Qi Feng said, "Some mutated rats came over last night. There weren't many, but the smell of blood attracted quite a few. We killed a few dozen."
WHAT?? Dozens of them?
Qi Feng continued, " The Crystal Core I needed have already been left behind."
Tell her to put it away without worry.
Sang Luoluo waved her hand to put it away and went straight to the kitchen to eat. Sang Yunpu and Qi Xue were still training in the training room. During the time Sang Luoluo was away, Qi Xue was also able to guide Sang Yunpu's training, and her training methods were even more rigorous than Qi Feng's.
The effect is also better.
Previously, Qi Feng had taken care of Sang Yunpu's mobility issues and gradually improved his physical fitness. Qi Xue was very strict with her team members, so she also had the same strict requirements for Sang Yunpu.
Sang Luoluo was starving. On the table were meals, steamed buns, side dishes, and juice that had been left for her and Qi Feng.
Qi Feng ate heartily.
Thinking of the mutated animals from last night, he said, "I think there should be quite a few mutated animals around here. If you have time these next couple of days, you can go kill some mutated rats together. Nighttime is best, when the mutated animals are most active."
Sang Luoluo originally wanted to get some rest, but considering there were quite a few mutated animals near her villa, she decided to clean it up before leaving, otherwise she wouldn't feel at ease leaving her brother.
"Okay." After saying that, he took a big bite of the steamed bun.
At noon, Dr. Li arrived on time.
"Is this Sang Luoluo's house? I'm Li Zhun, a general practitioner." A bespectacled, well-mannered man who looked to be in his late twenties knocked on the door.
Sang Luoluo quickly let him in, "Yes, yes. Dr. Li, there are two patients here."
Dr. Li wore a faint smile throughout. Upon entering the villa, he saw that it was fully furnished and the house was spotless. The living conditions were in no way inferior to those of the high-ranking officials at the base.
After meeting Sang Yunpu and Qi Xue, Dr. Li opened his briefcase, prepared a clean surgical environment, and said gently, "One at a time."
Sang Luoluo took out two vials of growth serum and placed them aside.
Sang Yunpu came first and lay down.
Sang Luoluo and the others stood guard outside.
After a half-hour surgery, the original skin and flesh were cut open, and growth agents and other basic medications were injected. Sang Yunpu felt the wound start to itch, and something was slowly growing out, albeit very slowly.
"The surgery went smoothly," Dr. Li said gently. "These are the precautions. It will take about a week for it to fully heal. During this time, I will come for a follow-up visit every day around noon."
"Next." Dr. Li breathed a sigh of relief after bandaging Sang Yunpu's wound.
Qi Xue followed suit and lay down. Her condition was more complicated than Sang Yunpu's, but she was also able to recover with the help of the growth potion. In particular, her original wound had just healed. The surgery took an hour and a half and went very smoothly.
After Dr. Li finished treating the follow-up, the next week of recovery is fine. Normal activities are fine, but it's best to avoid strenuous activity. To fully recover, it will take another two to three weeks.
Seeing that Dr. Li looked tired, Sang Luoluo handed him a bottle of mineral water. " Dr. Li, why don't you rest for a while?"
After working continuously for more than two hours, he was indeed a little thirsty. Seeing the radiation-free water, he still unscrewed the cap, took a sip, then screwed the cap back on and put it in his pocket.
Dr. Li: "You can pay the fee now."
Sang Luoluo had prepared 200,000 Crystal Core in advance and put them in a pocket. There were several thousand crystal cores in the pocket, and the energy inside was very pure. Each Crystal Core contained tens, hundreds, or even thousands of units of energy.
Dr. Li had no choice but to leave with the Crystal Core. Now, the base bank can recharge Crystal Core for convenient online transactions, but many people still prefer to hold the Crystal Core in their hands. The inconvenience is no big deal; the main thing is peace of mind.
Dr. Li was delighted to have such a straightforward client. They exchanged contact information, and the client will come back for a follow-up appointment at the same time tomorrow.
After everyone left, Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng approached the two of them. Sang Luoluo asked, "How are you feeling? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Sang Yunpu told the truth, "The wound is itchy, which is a bit strange."
Qi Xue was overjoyed. "This little itch is nothing, I can feel my flesh and blood growing. Luoluo, brother, I'm so happy."
Everyone was very happy. At noon, Sang Luoluo cooked the meal herself, focusing on light dishes, such as rice porridge with stir-fried pork and vegetables.
Everyone enjoyed the meal when the watch sent a message: Assistant Jian had sent an urgent message that there was a mission early the day after tomorrow, and they had to leave at 5 a. m.
He also sent a private message to Sang Luoluo, informing her that he knew her brother had just undergone surgery and that he would send someone to take care of him if needed.
Chapter 159 New member fees will be deducted from your contributions from now on...
"I have a mission at five o'clock the day after tomorrow." Sang Luoluo's smile faded.
Qi Feng paused for a moment, not surprised at all. He had known about it the day he returned, but he hadn't expected the next mission to come so soon.
Sang Luoluo continued, "I'm worried about you. You just had surgery and it will take you a long time to recover."
Qi Feng smiled upon hearing this, "Don't worry about me, I can manage on my own at home. Besides, didn't you leave me a lot of weapons and equipment? There are so many people in the base, how many of them have weapons?"
Qi Xue added, "Don't worry, with me here, ordinary mutated animals can't hurt him."
Qi Feng was determined to go out with Sang Luoluo.
