The car suddenly stopped.
Li Yao received a message from the forward Guard and said to everyone, "Everyone get out of the vehicles. The armored vehicles can't get through. Sang Ping, you lead the team and make sure they are protected. We'll provide support here."
Sang Luoluo glanced at Li Yao: "Aren't you going?"
Li Yao said, "I'm directing from a distance; there's also an situation outside."
"Alright then." Well, he's an officer, a high-ranking official in the base, so we can't risk it.
Qi Feng and the others got out of the car first, surrounding Sang Luoluo and Sang Yunpu behind them. They were all carrying Crystal Core and had already begun to be on guard.
Sang Ping led the way, and they had now reached an area densely populated with mutated plants. A large patch of mutated wild grass had already grown on the ground. Sang Luoluo behind, and the wild grass was taller than her. This place was indeed difficult to walk in.
The fields were full of mutated crops, each one growing exceptionally tall, as were the vines. It instantly brought back the familiar and oppressive feeling I had when I first arrived and faced the mutated plants.
The Guard in front had already cleared a path for one person to walk on, and Sang Luoluo and Sang Yunpu followed behind. There were no unexpected incidents along the way.
But the Guard ahead weren't so lucky.
It's normal to encounter troublesome mutant plants in the wild.
The person at the front touched the branches and leaves of the mutated plant vines, and the vines wrapped around their ankles, lifting them up. One by one, the three or four people behind them were also pulled up and hung from the tree.
The Crystal Core suddenly activated, and Sang Ping led his men to subdue the mutated vines.
They put the people down one by one, and thankfully, no one was seriously hurt.
As soon as Sang Luoluo arrived, she opened her senses. She sensed the mutated vines starting to entangle people, but before she could warn them, the vines had already wrapped them up, and the distance was already more than thirty meters away from where she could control them. So she could see them, but she couldn't help them.
There are also Crystal Core in the wild here. Along the way, she has already found 12 Crystal Core underground. Only eight of them are under her Mental Power control, which she directly pulled into the space with her Mental Power. She didn't let the Guard know about this.
Sang Luoluo sensed that the moving mutated vine contained Crystal Core with considerable energy. After Sang Luoluo close, she used her Mental Power to control the chainsaw and cut the mutated vine in half.
The sudden sound made Sang Ping stop and take a look. In just over ten seconds, Sang Luoluo had already cut off the section of vine that needed to be cut off and stored her Mental Power in her spatial storage.
Sang Ping knew Sang Luoluo's abilities and didn't say anything.
Within a 300-meter radius, Sang Luoluo did not detect any large mutated animals, but some small mutated animals were active within the area, many of them living inside mutated plants, similar to parasitism or symbiosis.
In short, just the thought of it sent chills Sang Luoluo's spine.
Sang Ping walked ahead, and the detection instruments could detect most of the living creatures, so everyone was very cautious.
They ventured quite a distance deeper into the area and still encountered two more mutated animals. Sang Ping and the others were used to this and easily dealt with the charging mutated animals. As for the Crystal Core inside the mutated animals' corpses, they naturally dug them out without hesitation.
Sang Ping glanced at Sang Luoluo and the others following behind, smiled smugly, and boasted, "We've been out for half a day and only encountered these two, and they don't even have many Crystal Core, only four."
Qi Feng looked away expressionlessly, showing no interest.
Sang Luoluo smiled. "That's still quite a lot."
Sang Yunpu watched with curiosity the whole way, also there to learn from experience. He had the least practical experience and no evolutionary ability, so he learned as he watched.
With Qi Xue explaining things to me from time to time, I learned a lot.
"Shh." Qi Feng suddenly gestured to everyone to be quiet.
Sang Luoluo noticed it immediately; a large creature was approaching within 300 meters. As it drew closer, Sang Luoluo realized it was a mutated tiger. Its footsteps were both heavy and light.
They had encountered such large mutated animals before, but Sang Luoluo was surprised that Qi Feng had noticed them so quickly. Had his evolutionary abilities also increased?
I'd felt something was off about him before.
Sang Luoluo mouthed to everyone, "Mutant tiger!"
Everyone's face turned pale instantly.
Sang Ping was somewhat incredulous; there were too many mutated weeds in the distance, making it impossible to see what was happening in the distance.
The mutated tiger had already noticed their presence, Sang Luoluo immediately used her Mental Power to set up ten Crystal Core, aiming them at the mutated tiger.
Upon seeing the Crystal Core that suddenly appeared above his head and were neatly arranged in a row, Sang Ping's slight resentment and jealousy vanished instantly.
The mutated tiger suddenly quickened its pace. When it was within about 100 meters, Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to control the Crystal Core and fired. Bang bang bang, the Crystal Core was powerful and almost turned the mutated tiger into a sieve.
Sang Luoluo only stopped after confirming that the mutated tiger was dead.
"Let's go take a look. It's about 80 meters away."
The people of Sang Ping were astonished. "They can be accurate to eighty meters?"
The group pushed aside the mutated weeds, cleared a path, and slowly approached the mutated tiger that had just died.
It was huge, lying in the grass. Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to put it into her spatial storage.
Turning to everyone, he said, "Let's go."
It's unclear who in the Guard said it.
"How many Crystal Core must be inside such a huge tiger?"
Sang Ping slapped the man on the back of the head. This was only Sang Luoluo's doing; Qi Feng and Qi Xue hadn't even made a move yet, and they had already taken down such a large mutated tiger. It wouldn't have been easy for him to lead the team against such a large mutated tiger, yet Sang Luoluo and the others managed to kill it so easily. Ha, thinking back to what they did this morning, it was truly shameful.
Sang Ping's tone softened somewhat as he led the group back along the original road. "Follow this direction, it'll be there in about an hour."
Sang Luoluo and the others had no objections and continued walking forward behind them. Currently, most of the mutated animals were not out and about, so there was relatively less trouble.
An hour later, an open area came into view, with some large excavators, some large pits in the ground, and a pile of boxes, each box filled with soil. The boxes were labeled with detailed information about the soil's pollution level, radiation level, nutrient content, and so on.
There are hundreds of boxes near Sang Luoluo.
There was a Guard of several hundred people gathered together, and some people wearing radiation protection suits were working at the bottom of the pit.
Sang Ping glanced at Sang Luoluo and said, "You wait here for a while, I'll go see how much they've prepared."
Sang Luoluo nodded.
Sang Yunpu said, "What a huge pit! The soil they're using for planting came from here. There's way too much of it."
Qi Xue said, "Such a deep pit, what a huge project! Base No. 32 truly lives up to its reputation as a long-established planting base."
Lei Qi said, "It's a pity, the radiation level is still high, almost moderate. The crops grown there probably won't be much to eat. If only we had plenty of radiation-free soil like at Base 03."
Qi Feng tapped him on the head, "Say less."
Soon, Sang Ping returned, smiling broadly, and said, " Sang Luoluo, come with me. We need to take all these boxes; you can pack them."
Sang Luoluo looked at the boxes, some at the bottom of the pit and some on the ground. She nodded, then suddenly her feet were off the ground as she approached the boxes. The boxes within her Mental Power control range suddenly disappeared. Sang Luoluo then flew to the bottom of the pit and collected all the boxes there.
Qi Feng remained vigilant and suddenly fired a shot into the pit. It turned out to be a mutated rat, about half the size of a human, which he blew off in the head. Sang Luoluo also noticed it, but the mutated rat was not yet within her Mental Power control range, so Sang Luoluo conveniently put the mutated rat's corpse into her spatial storage.
After collecting all the boxes at the bottom of the pit, Sang Luoluo flew up and landed on the ground.
Sang Ping's expression was beyond surprised; even the people behind him had their mouths agape in an "O" shape.
"No, how can you still fly?" Sang Ping asked the question everyone wanted to ask.
Sang Luoluo replied calmly, "I can't fly; I only control it with my Mental Power."
Sang Ping gave a thumbs up. He wasn't this good when they last met.
"There are still hundreds of boxes in that pit over there, let's go together."
Sang Luoluo did as instructed. There were more than just these giant pits here; the machines below were still running, and these people had to work overtime here at night as well.
While the mutated animals and plants haven't fully recovered yet and are relatively safe, dig as much as you can.
Sang Luoluo had already anticipated that she would be coming here to collect boxes for the next few days.
On this trip, Sang Luoluo collected approximately 4,000 boxes.
It's all dirt.
"I think that's about enough," Sang Luoluo said. "We can't fit any more."
Sang Ping was pleasantly surprised. "That's enough. We'll come again tomorrow. Let's go."
It didn't take Sang Luoluo long to collect all the boxes. Without Sang Luoluo, transporting them bit by bit across the area would have been much more troublesome, taking far more time and effort.
They successfully left the area and met up with Li Yao. They were still in the car heading to their next destination.
It's already 3:30 PM since we left home this morning, and we still haven't had a chance to eat.
