He's completely dead.
Sang Luoluo snapped back to reality and heard Sang Yunpu say worriedly, "This is bad. Several mutated birds have spotted our car. They've been circling in the air for a while; they're probably coming for us."
Sang Luoluo took out breakfast and placed it in front of them. "Everyone, eat first to replenish your energy. I'll take care of the mutated bird."
While munching on an apple, Sang Luoluo closed her eyes and began to observe her surroundings.
The others ate heartily, ready to get back into battle mode as soon as they finished.
The mutated bird had its sights set on them, but as soon as it got close to their car, it was pulled away by a strange force and disappeared.
The last mutated bird watched its companion vanish inexplicably, still confused about what had happened. Sensing something amiss with its prey below, it decided to abandon it.
Watching it fly away, Sang Luoluo opened her eyes in annoyance. "What a pity, it was just a few meters away! It got away!"
She could sense that this last mutated bird contained quite a few Crystal Core.
Sang Yunpu could clearly see the outside world and only now realized how powerful his sister's combat abilities had become. Within 10 seconds, she could easily deal with the mutated animals.
Qi Xue joked, "What a pity! There's only one left! If it hadn't turned over, you probably would have killed it too."
After a two-hour journey, they found the third giant Meteorite Crystal Core, a pure black giant Meteorite Crystal Core. As soon as they got close, Sang Luoluo felt her Mental Power gently caressing it, and she had an even stronger urge to absorb it as soon as possible.
Sang Luoluo suppressed this desire and used her Mental Power to store it in her spatial storage for the time being.
Retrieving the fourth giant Meteorite Crystal Core was a bit tricky because it was in water.
There was no other way; the vehicle wasn't waterproof, so she had to go down herself, wearing several layers of protective gear, chiseling through the ice and lowering herself down with a rope.
The ice was very deep. After she went down, she felt an unfamiliar sense of oppression. Helpless, she could only use her Mental Power to move forward and get as close as possible to the giant Meteorite Crystal Core at the bottom of the water.
The radiation energy from this Crystal Core was even higher, and she felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Getting too close made me feel dizzy and nauseous. There weren't even any mutated animals around here, probably because the radiation levels were too high, so no mutated animals dared to approach.
Quickly use your Mental Power to pull it into the space and put it away.
Then swim back.
Sensing the presence of many mutated fish nearby, Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to erect four invisible protective walls around herself.
Although small in size, it can prevent sudden attacks by fish.
During the movement, Sang Luoluo discovered that there were many Crystal Core at the bottom of the water. Even the mutated fish did not have many Crystal Core, but there were quite a few in the silt at the bottom of the water, and they were very dense.
After the meteorite shower, this area was never cleaned up, and the mutated fish couldn't possibly consume so many Crystal Core.
She suddenly felt like she might have struck gold.
Even if you search all the underwater Crystal Core, it will still amount to a considerable number.
Sang Luoluo walked along the muddy bottom of the water for a distance, pulling all the Crystal Core she sensed into her space. In no time, she had collected a pile of them.
That's it, I don't want to leave anymore.
She sensed mutated fish rushing towards her, so she quickly focused and pulled the school of fish surrounding her into her space. Mutated fish also need water; without it, they would die naturally in no time, so she didn't need to kill them. Besides, they didn't have any Crystal Core inside them.
Sang Luoluo got hooked on picking them up, and kept walking back and picking them up.
"Why hasn't Sang Luoluo come back yet! It's been an hour!" Sang Yunpu said worriedly.
Qi Xue said, "The signal down there is bad, sometimes there and sometimes it's not. We're probably in a radiation zone, so we can't contact her."
Lei Qi was also worried. "At Boss Sang's speed, she should have come up soon. The location of that giant meteorite isn't far away, could she have been injured down there?"
Qi Feng frowned slightly and said, "I'll go down and take a look. I have underwater experience, so don't worry too much."
He Fei said, "Then, boss, be careful."
He quickly went to the car to get him a diving suit. The suit was fully protected in every way. The armor was a spherical iron cage that expanded to enclose the entire person. Even if the mutated fish spotted him and bit him, it could withstand the attack for a period of time.
After checking the rope binding him, Qi Feng resolutely jumped into the water.
The underwater world was somewhat dark, but that didn't hinder the advanced equipment from detecting the approaching mutated fish, including their exact location and number.
He slid down to avoid the swarm of fish.
Chapter 195 Searching the Underwater World: Sang Yunpu couldn't believe his ears...
The underwater signal was intermittent, and even after Qi Feng came down, he was unable to send messages back up in a timely manner.
Fortunately, Sang Luoluo, so he only needed to follow the rope to find her.
There are many mutated fish underwater, and many of them move in groups, so it would be troublesome if they were attacked. He felt that Sang Luoluo had spatial abilities, so protecting herself shouldn't be a problem.
Qi Feng followed Sang Luoluo's rope, dodging the mutated fish as he went deeper into the water.
Visibility is limited underwater, and you can't walk close to the bottom. There are many highly radioactive meteorites there, which affect communication. The radiation levels are too high and can make people dizzy. There are also mutated aquatic plants that grow abnormally lushly and are highly aggressive. Qi Feng can only swim forward cautiously. The Crystal Core in his hand is not very useful underwater. Those mutated fish have too much of an advantage in the water, and they are completely different from those on land.
Seeing the fish approaching in his wristwatch, he quickly dodged, but as he descended, his ankles became entangled in mutated seaweed, and several more seaweed branches wrapped around his armor and wrists.
He tried to struggle, but found that the mutated seaweed was wrapping around him tighter and tighter, and his armor was already deformed from the constriction.
Qi Feng quickly used his other hand, which was not yet trapped, to draw the Crystal Core knife from his waist, turned the energy to the maximum, and rapidly cut the seaweed wrapped around him.
The mutated aquatic plants were cut off, but other branches reached out to try and catch him. He quickly left the area, but the broken aquatic plants on his body were still alive and tightly bound. He could only swim across the area first and then clean himself up.
The mutated aquatic plants behind were not giving up and continued to stretch out their branches to chase after it. Unexpectedly, several herbivorous mutated fish passed by and frantically tore at the aquatic plants, swallowing the branches of the plants in a few bites.
Qi Feng was secretly alarmed. The underwater area was far too dangerous. These mutated fish took less than 1.5 seconds to move from the monitoring range to his vicinity, leaving him no time to react.
If it weren't for the aquatic plants attracting the attention of the mutated fish, those fish would have been eyeing him.
Immediately, I used the Crystal Core knife to cut off the remaining mutated aquatic plants on my body and threw them back down to prevent them from attracting the attention of other mutated fish.
He turned and continued to search for Sang Luoluo's location along the rope. A group of fish swam around him, so he had to take cover and hide behind an underwater rock.
Suddenly, someone tapped her on the shoulder. Turning around, she saw it was Sang Luoluo.
The underwater signal was poor, and he couldn't hear Sang Luoluo speaking through her headset.
Qi Feng breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that she was alright. Seeing how agile she was, she seemed to be adapting very well underwater.
Sang Luoluo pointed at him: Why did you come down?
Qi Feng pointed upwards, then pointed at her, and mouthed: Why haven't you gone back yet?
Sang Luoluo glanced at the time. It was too troublesome to gesture, so she simply grabbed his arm and swam in the direction she had originally come from. They swam close to the bottom of the water at a height of about ten meters, dragging Qi Feng along with them without any effort.
She also took the Crystal Core cores from the bottom of the water along the way.
Sang Luoluo showed him the Crystal Core she had pulled over with her Mental Power. There were so many Crystal Core at the bottom of the water that it was like they were free; she figured she might as well pick them up. She was simply enjoying picking them up here.
Mutant fish were swimming in the distance, and Sang Luoluo didn't let them escape either. When they swam within a 10-meter range that she could control, she pulled them all into her space and they suddenly disappeared in the water.
The fish in the distance were completely unaware of anything amiss. They simply mistook Sang Luoluo and her companion for food, swimming over and disappearing silently within a 10-meter radius.
Qi Feng was speechless. It turned out that he had become the one who dragged the team down after coming down.
Qi Feng thought about his purpose in coming down to the bottom of the water. Although there were many scattered Meteorite Crystal Core, there were also many dangers. Although Sang Luoluo could use her Mental Power to control her surroundings, the mutated plants at the bottom of the water were equally terrifying, and there were mutated fish swimming on them that posed a constant threat. She also had to be wary of the underwater world. If she was not careful, she could be surrounded and attacked. Even if Sang Luoluo could control the area within ten meters, there would always be times when she was careless, and that would be dangerous.
Qi Feng pulled back a little, forcing Sang Luoluo to stop and look at him.
Through the transparent helmet, his eyes asked inquiringly: What's wrong?
Qi Feng pointed upwards. "We should go back. We've retrieved the giant Meteorite Crystal Core, and our mission is complete. It's too dangerous here."
Sang Luoluo understood what he meant, but the thought of all the free Crystal Core underwater made her really reluctant to leave and unwilling to go back just like that.
Moreover, she is now aware of her surroundings and can control the area she roams in to ensure her safety. If all else fails, she can hide in her own space, rest, and then come out again.
Qi Feng still insisted: It's too dangerous down there, we can't go.
Seeing his insistence, Sang Luoluo had no choice but to compromise. "Pick for another ten minutes."
Ten minutes was fine, and Qi Feng forced himself to stay with her.
Sang Luoluo pulled all the Crystal Core she encountered into her space. There were many Crystal Core underwater, and even some mutated plants underwater had a lot of Crystal Core inside them, but those things were not easy to get, so she stopped.
