Sang Luoluo said, "She's passed out. Let's go."
Qi Feng pulled Sang Luoluo back a few steps. Just now, the large rock had been moved, and several mutated scorpions were hiding under it. They weren't very big, about the size of mutated rats, but they were highly venomous, and their shells had evolved to be extremely tough. Qi Feng fired several shots before he could kill one.
Sang Luoluo immediately realized what was happening and stored the mutated scorpions within her ten-meter control range into her spatial storage, intending to deal with them using her Crystal Core. She had been so focused on dealing with the mutated black bear while storing the large rock that she had forgotten about the mutated scorpions. She had assumed they were underground and far away, but it turned out they were right under the rock.
The Zhan Qun led their men to wipe out the remaining mutated scorpions.
Please leave this area immediately.
Sang Luoluo in the middle of the group, providing cover for everyone.
Sang Luoluo thought of the mutated black bear in the space that had been knocked unconscious by a large rock. Since that black bear was so powerful, if they were to drag it away, other mutated animals would have to go around it.
Then she shook her head, thinking again. What was she thinking? Mutant animals weren't so easily controlled.
Let's cut open the abdomen and extract the Crystal Core.
Sang Luoluo thought to herself.
After traversing the dangerous forest, night fell, and the number of active mutated animals nearby increased. With limited visibility, they needed to rest and could no longer continue.
After a long day, no one had even had a sip of water; they were barely holding on.
"Let's find it there, there's a pit." The Zhan Qun looked around and searched for a while before finding a relatively safe place to land.
The pit was quite large; it was essentially a downhill slope. Sang Luoluo cleared some snow out of the pit and put the three vehicles inside. Everyone got in one by one, and Sang Luoluo gave them the supplies. Then, Sang Luoluo sealed the doors of the three vehicles and used her Mental Power to cover the vehicles with snow, completely concealing them.
Sang Luoluo slumped into her chair, while Lei Qi eagerly took out a bag of nutrient solution, opened it, and took a sip.
Sang Luoluo took out the electric cooker and battery, and Qi Feng turned on the heater in the carriage, leaving only a few night lights on in the entire carriage.
Assistant Jian asked, "Could we heat up some food for each other while we're at it? I can pay you."
Sang Luoluo shook her head, "There are no outsiders here, so we don't need to pay. Let's warm up together."
The nutrient solution is heated up; people prefer to drink it hot rather than at room temperature.
Sang Luoluo gave Lei Qi and Qi Feng two roasted potatoes each, along with a few pieces of dried meat, for a simple meal.
Sang Luoluo ate two roasted potatoes herself. Of course, after the curtain was drawn, she also ate some other things, such as egg tarts and fruit slices.
Sang Luoluo took out a few bottles of water, heated them on the stove, mixed half a cup of honey water, Sang Luoluo it slowly, and leaned back on the sofa to rest.
Everyone was exhausted; Qi Feng stayed up for the first half of the night, and Lei Qi stayed up for the second half.
Sang Luoluo was really tired. She figured she probably wouldn't sleep well if she stayed out all night, so she simply sent Qi Feng a message.
[I'm going to sleep in my own space. I can't rest well outside, so I'll use a curtain to block the view. Can you keep watch for me?]
Upon seeing the message, Qi Feng nodded and immediately sat down, completely obscuring the small curtain that held Sang Luoluo's private space.
Jian Cheng glanced enviously at Sang Luoluo's "private area." Sigh, it's true what they say, comparisons are odious.
Sang Luoluo entered the space and first took a comfortable hot bath. Chuan Chuanchuan around the space. When he saw a huge mutated black bear trapped in the open space and realized that it was still alive, it immediately barked hostilely.
Sang Luoluo heard the shout.
" Chuanchuan!!"
Chuanchuan glanced over, then stared intently at the mutated black bear, sensing its high level of danger. Not daring to be careless, it barked wildly as it timidly retreated.
Amidst the Chuanchuan of cries, the mutated black bear regained a sliver of consciousness and twitched its paw.
Startled, Chuanchuan Chuan immediately darted back several meters, glanced at its owner Sang Luoluo, then at the mutated black bear in front of it, and leaned forward to sniff it.
Chapter 164 Disadvantages: That's something we can't control.
Realizing the creature was badly injured, Chuanchuan regained its composure, quickly walked over, and called out twice.
Perhaps annoyed by the barking dogs, the mutated black bear growled and struggled to get up.
Sang Luoluo called out worriedly, " Chuanchuan, come here quickly!"
Chuanchuan immediately stepped back several paces to maintain a safe distance.
But he still stared intently at the enormous creature in front of him.
Sang Luoluo wanted to use the Crystal Core to cut open its belly and find the Crystal Core, but now that she actually had to do it, she realized that the Crystal Core she had was too small, and it would take a long time to cut open its belly.
After thinking about it, I decided not to bother with it anymore. It won't break if I leave it in my spatial storage. Once I get to Base 13, I'll see if I can buy a few large Crystal Core cutting weapons.
Perhaps due to evolution, the mutated black bear has an amazing ability to recover. The wound that Sang Luoluo inflicted on its head by chasing it with stones has now scabbed over and is slowly healing.
Although Sang Luoluo was far away, she could see it clearly.
An idea popped into my head.
Once she started talking about this idea, she found it very difficult to give it up.
The mutated black bear will need time to recover from its injuries. If she keeps it confined in her space and strikes it with large rocks to weaken its fighting ability, then when she encounters mutated animals attacking her in the wild, she only needs to release the mutated black bear outside, and those mutated animals will be scared away.
Even a severely injured black bear dares to roar at its Chuanchuan. There's no need to worry about miscontrolling it and injuring your own people. As long as you use the mutated black bear to buy time for your team, it will be of great use.
The more Sang Luoluo thought about it, the more feasible the idea seemed.
Use your consciousness to control the mutated black bear in this area, preventing it from leaving a 10-meter radius in all directions.
Sang Luoluo was so sleepy that she set an alarm and went to sleep peacefully.
She slept soundly until dawn, feeling completely refreshed. It was only five o'clock outside, just as day was breaking. Sang Luoluo put on her protective suit and slipped out of the space, appearing in the cubicle.
Qi Feng stayed by their side all night, Sang Luoluo heard the sounds of them eating.
She had already eaten breakfast and wasn't hungry. She pulled back the curtain; she had eaten that morning.
While drinking a packet of strawberry-flavored nutritional supplement, Lei Qi told everyone what had happened last night.
"Thankfully, Boss Sang covered the car with snow. In the latter half of the night, dozens of mutated animals passed by on the surveillance cameras. Some even stopped to sniff around, which scared me so much that I almost fired my gun. Luckily, nothing serious happened."
Assistant Jian added, "I was too tired during the day, so I slept very soundly."
I opened my eyes and it was already daylight.
Qi Feng glanced at Sang Luoluo and handed her one of the roasted potatoes he had left over from last night, but Sang Luoluo shook her head.
Qi Feng then knew that she had already eaten.
Qi Feng asked, "How did you sleep last night?"
Sang Luoluo nodded. "It's alright."
After quickly finishing breakfast, everyone tidied up and went out. Sang Luoluo put the car back into her spatial storage, just like before.
After a night's rest, everyone was full of energy and their pace was much faster.
However, as they ventured deeper into the forest, they began to be frequently attacked by mutated animals.
They had all been starving for a long time in the freezing cold.
They rushed forward without regard for anything else.
Fortunately, Zhan Qun and his well-trained team defended the area effectively, giving the mutated animals no chance to get close. Sang Luoluo collected the mutated animals that were nearby. She collected a small fee for the ones they killed and would give them to them when they reached a safe place.
Zhan Qun and his team were delighted that they could take away the carcasses of these mutated animals so easily. This was extra income, and as long as they ensured that Sang Luoluo was not in any danger, most of the Crystal Core cores in these mutated animal carcasses would be theirs.
How could I not be happy?
Sang Luoluo could sense mutated animals moving within a 70-meter radius underground. They lived underground, and their various burrows were interconnected; they were very active down there.
Moreover, she could sense large areas of Crystal Core in those caves, but unfortunately, her Mental Power could only control a range of 10 meters. If she was lucky, she would happen to encounter Crystal Core in caves within 10 meters underground, and she would casually collect them into her spatial storage as she passed by.
Two hours after setting off this morning, she has already collected more than 200 Crystal Core. She also used her Mental Power to pull the mutated animals she encountered underground into her space and killed them with Crystal Core, accumulating nearly 100 Crystal Core in the process.
The experience was very rewarding.
She kept the mutated animals that Lei Qi and Qi Feng killed separately.
Sang Luoluo sensed danger. "Something's not right."
The Zhan Qun immediately put everyone on alert and hid behind nearby snowdrifts.
Her eyes questioned Sang Luoluo: What's wrong?
Seeing everyone looking at her, Sang Luoluo whispered, "I sensed a powerful aura, but I don't know what it is."
No sooner had they finished speaking than a huge, agile brown mutated leopard suddenly leaped in front of them, clearly intending to capture them all.
Qi Feng quickly pulled Sang Luoluo several times to dodge. Protected by the protective suit, they were unharmed. However, Lei Qi's subordinates were directly crushed to death by the mutated leopard with one claw, and another was swallowed by the mutated leopard.
The protective suit made a crunching sound as it was being chewed.
Fresh blood gushed out and flowed all over the ground.
There wasn't even time to try to save them.
Assistant Jian was fortunate to have someone protecting her, otherwise she would have been in serious trouble.
