"Alright."
Qi Feng immediately turned and retreated, with Lei Qi following.
Almost simultaneously, Sang Luoluo covered the three of them with ice and snow, dodging the attacks of the mutated plants by weaving left and right.
They rejoined the Zhan Qun.
The Zhan Qun thought it would take a while, but the whole process took less than 5 seconds. "This... it's over already?"
Qi Feng rolled his eyes at him, "Hmm."
Chapter 167 Night Raid The sound was very loud; everyone heard it.
Sang Luoluo noticed that many mutated animals were approaching and quickly warned everyone, "Many mutated animals are coming!"
As soon as Sang Luoluo finished speaking, everyone could already see the mutated animals moving between the jungle and the snow, appearing in all directions.
Very scattered.
Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to scatter several handfuls of peanuts into the empty snow ten meters away. Upon hearing the sound, the mutated animals immediately turned around and ran towards the peanuts.
Finding food is their instinct, and they are especially attracted to non-radioactive food.
Sang Luoluo had already aimed the Crystal Core at that area, and the dense barrage of Crystal Core killed a whole bunch of small mutated animals.
With the help of other members of the team who fired, the crisis was averted.
Sang Luoluo forward and collected the mutated animal's carcass, and the group continued on their way.
Zhan Qun said, "There are too many mutated animals around here. Should we release the mutated black bear?"
Qi Feng thought for a moment, "I think... let's wait a bit. Look at that open space ahead. It's perfect for us to ambush here. There are so many mutated animals and Crystal Core here. Why don't we take this opportunity to make some Crystal Core? If there are too many mutated animals for us to handle, Sang Luoluo can release the mutated black bear. Wouldn't that be even better?"
Sang Luoluo thought it was a good idea, "I can sprinkle in more peanuts and nuts."
The Zhan Qun didn't want to give up such a good opportunity to obtain Crystal Core. "How should the Crystal Core be distributed?"
Sang Luoluo said, "I'll put them all away first. Once we get to the base, we'll rent a warehouse and dismantle them together. How about I get eight and you get two?"
The other members were already interested, and the Zhan Qun was also very interested. Without Sang Luoluo's help, they wouldn't even get 20%.
The Jian Cheng had no objections; earning some extra money was certainly a good thing.
Sang Luoluo took out the heavy armor, and everyone put it on, took precautions, and stood in a line.
Sang Luoluo threw a handful of peanuts into the open space. The rustling sound immediately attracted nearby mutated animals, which emerged from the vicinity and rushed towards the peanuts.
In addition, Sang Luoluo sprinkled a few more handfuls of dry corn kernels; that was the most she had.
Scatter a handful of walnuts and a handful of pine nuts, alternating between them.
The sound even attracted a large army of mutated rats from underground, and Sang Luoluo could sense them emerging from the ground.
Sang Luoluo had already set up her Crystal Core and aimed it at the open space. A group of mutated animals, scrambling for the weapon, were exposed there. The Crystal Core swept across the area, and a large number of mutated animals fell instantly.
The most numerous were still mutant mice.
This wasn't the first time Sang Luoluo, Lei Qi, and Qi Feng had witnessed such a scene; they had done it before when they went out, gathering a large number of mutated animals was the fastest way.
Sang Luoluo scattered a few more handfuls of corn kernels.
Even now, fearless mutant animals still risk their lives to rush over and snatch corn kernels to eat. You can even see two mutant rats fighting over a single corn kernel.
Then they were all pierced through by the Crystal Core.
Zhan Qun watched as Sang Luoluo scattered handfuls of corn kernels. These things weren't easy to buy on the Farm App, and she'd already scattered so many, with no sign of stopping.
The corpses were piled up like mountains, yet a steady stream of mutated animals continued to arrive. A few escaped, but the thick stench of blood still attracted several large mutated animals. They saw the mutated elk, which was about the same size as the mutated tiger, and three or five of them were drawn to the commotion.
Before Sang Luoluo could release the mutated black bear, Zhan Qun, had already used their Crystal Core to eliminate the large mutated animals.
The Zhan Qun asked, "Is it almost time...?"
Qi Feng nodded. "It's time to retreat."
Turning his head, he called out, " Lei Qi!"
Lei Qi scooped up Sang Luoluo and ran towards the pile of corpses ahead. Sang Luoluo immediately pulled the mutated animal corpses within a 10-meter radius into her spatial dimension. Some mutated animals that were still alive but were hiding under the corpses tried to fight back, but Qi Feng, who was not far away, took them out one by one with a single shot.
Sang Luoluo quickly scanned the corpse and returned safely with Lei Qi; the whole process took only a few seconds.
"Withdraw!"
The Zhan Qun led everyone forward at a fast pace. The lingering smell of blood from the previous place would attract even more mutated animals, and as they continued forward, they encountered fewer and fewer mutated animals.
A broad smile spread across Zhan Qun's face. "This is so awesome!!"
Just stand there and keep attacking; there are corpses all over the place, and who knows how many Crystal Core are inside them.
The allure of the Crystal Core was immense, and the Zhan Qun suggested, "If we go any further, we expect to encounter many more mutated animals. Why don't we try again?"
Qi Feng glanced at Sang Luoluo and said, "Okay, but we'll have to go a little further."
The group had been walking for a long time. Sang Luoluo casually put the underground Crystal Core she encountered along the way into her spatial storage. To her surprise, there were many Meteorite Crystal Core in this area. Although they were not large, there were quite a few of them. They were buried in the snow and could not be seen with the naked eye. Her wristwatch could detect most of the Crystal Core, but their group did not have time to stop and collect Crystal Core.
Having chosen a good defensive location, Sang Luoluo found the task easy. She threw away several kilograms of peanuts and walnuts, along with dried corn kernels, attracting even more mutated animals than last time.
Sang Luoluo attacked with her Crystal Core Crystal Core, and the others didn't stop either. Some mutated animals even tried to pounce on them, but were blocked by the Crystal Core. A few ran right up to them, but thanks to their heavy armor, they were almost simultaneously pulled into space by Sang Luoluo's Mental Power and dealt with.
The corpses of mutated animals piled up one after another, and new mutated animals kept coming in, showing no signs of stopping.
Lei Qi said in frustration, "How can there be so many?! It's never going to end."
Sang Luoluo sensed several powerful auras. "A large mutated animal is approaching."
The mutated wolves were agile, numbering in the dozens, each one enormous.
The Crystal Core killed several wolves, but the other mutated wolves seemed to realize Crystal Core weapon's lethality and retreated, not daring to approach.
Sang Luoluo sensed that their presence had vanished from her perception range.
He asked in confusion, "Did they retreat?"
Qi Feng shook his head and exchanged glances with the others in the Zhan Qun: "No, they've only retreated temporarily. Wolves are very clever; they're watching us from the shadows, waiting for their chance."
Zhan Qun echoed, "This is troublesome."
Sang Luoluo still didn't have time to release the mutated black bear this time.
Together they walked to the pile of corpses, covering Sang Luoluo as she stored all the mutated animal carcasses into her spatial storage before continuing onward.
By noon, their heavy armor had run out of power.
Qi Feng, still concerned about the mutated wolves, suggested, "To be on the safe side, let's recharge first. We'll need to wear heavy armor the whole time."
The Zhan Qun didn't dare take the risk either. "I agree. Let's find a place first."
Without taking off their heavy armor, everyone dug a snowdrift nearby, Sang Luoluo took out the batteries and charged them directly.
It takes two hours to fully charge.
I can rest here for two hours.
Sang Luoluo took out some canned food that everyone needed and brought out an electric stove so that everyone could heat up the nutrient solution to replenish their energy. Two people were responsible for keeping watch at the cave entrance.
Sang Luoluo took out a hot rice ball and quietly put it in her mouth, then shared it with Qi Feng and Lei Qi.
She suddenly stopped chewing the rice ball, sensing that the pack of mutated wolves was approaching from dozens of meters away.
The guards at the cave entrance also noticed.
The Zhan Qun stood up and said, "Don't panic, we still have heavy armor and plenty of firepower."
Everyone nodded, their mouths full of nutrient solution as they cautiously watched the outside.
The people gathered at the back of the group around the stove shoveled the freshly heated canned food into their mouths in just a few bites.
It smells so good.
Over here, Sang Luoluo had already set up her Crystal Core, closed her eyes, and began firing at the mutated wolves she sensed. The dense barrage of Crystal Core attacks killed several of the mutated wolves in the front, and the mutated wolves behind retreated.
Lei Qi stamped his foot. "They've retreated again. Could they be planning to attack us at night?"
Qi Feng said calmly, "Most likely."
After saying that, he sat down, stuffed the rice ball into his mouth in two bites, drank the nutritional supplement in one gulp, and finally drank a few sips of hot water to warm himself up. He closed his eyes and rested for a while.
Sang Luoluo also sat down to rest nearby.
I took a short nap. There might be mutated wolves on the outskirts, because the mutated animals nearby were much quieter.
Two hours later, the battery was fully charged. Sang Luoluo packed up the battery and other items and continued on her way.
As of evening, Sang Luoluo hadn't used the mutated black bear yet.
Everyone needed to rest at night, so for safety reasons, they dug a snow cave large enough to fit three large trucks inside.
Sang Luoluo also specially used the giant logs she had previously collected in her spatial storage to fence off the area around the snow cave, to prevent it from being collapsed by those mutated animals.
While everyone was resting, Qi Feng pulled Sang Luoluo aside and whispered, "We'll rest outside tonight. If the mutated wolves attack at night, we'll need you."
