More than a dozen were dealt with in half an hour.
14 points added, mutated animal level B.
"It seems someone has been here before; look at the bloodstains on the ground," He Fei said.
Qi Xue looked around. "But there seem to be traces of mutated animals around. The previous group didn't clear them out completely."
"How could it possibly be completely cleared out? Mutant animals roam everywhere; there's no definite location."
The Chuanchuan sensed something was wrong, barked in one direction, and then ran ahead to lead the way.
Seeing this, Qi Feng quickly followed.
Sang Luoluo was afraid of tripping over the mutated weeds while running, so she chose to follow in mid-air.
Several hundred meters later, Sang Luoluo sensed that three hundred meters away, the people at the base were having trouble dealing with the mutated animals. Their actions had attracted even more mutated animals, and they were unable to handle them.
The Chuanchuan immediately noticed something was wrong and headed in that direction.
"Help!!"
Sang Luoluo directly levitated several Crystal Core and fired Crystal Core beams in the direction she sensed, killing five of them from afar.
He Fei recorded all of this from behind. He then found a suitable spot, stood still, and used his Crystal Core sniper rifle to kill the three mutated animals.
They ran and walked until they finally reached the group, who were surrounded by mutated mantises.
It's quite large, but poses a significant threat.
Two people have already died here.
The remaining people were also injured, resulting in significant losses.
After Sang Luoluo and her team arrived, they continued to shoot and kill the other mutated mantises.
Qi Feng and Qi Xue fired at each other from the front, taking down the mutated mantises one by one. Lei Qi arrived at the location the fastest, wielding two Crystal Core, and began shooting at the mutated mantises in the grass, one after another, until everyone had eliminated them all.
He Fei's wristwatch updated quickly: points +57, mutated animal level B.
Points +3, Mutant Animal Level A.
"Thank you, thank you for your support."
Qi Feng asked, "How are things going for you?"
The remaining people glanced at Sang Luoluo and her companions, noticing the dog, and lingered for a few seconds before saying, "We're fine, just a few minor injuries, but we lost two people."
Qi Feng continued, "Are you from the Guard?"
"Half of them were, and the other half were joined midway."
"We were just passing by. If you're alright, then hurry up and leave. The smell of blood will soon attract other, more dangerous mutated animals."
Qi Feng reminded him.
"Yes, thank you. What's your team's name?"
Sang Luoluo said, " Composed Response Team."
"We are the Wealth and Prosperity Team, thank you so much!"
"By the way, if we kill a mutated animal ourselves, can we keep the Crystal Core inside?"
Qi Feng looked at Sang Luoluo and let her make the decision.
Sang Luoluo said, "Of course, whoever kills the person gets to keep the record; the wristwatch keeps track."
As Sang Luoluo spoke, she had already sensed whether there were any Crystal Core inside the mutated animal's corpse.
"Everyone, hurry up and get started!"
Using her Mental Power, Sang Luoluo drew a circle on the part of the mutated animal's corpse with a Crystal Core on a red marker.
He Fei acted as a lookout while the others joined in the attack.
The group opposite them had just finished collecting the Crystal Core and were about to leave when they were shocked to find that the speed at which the other group had been mining the Crystal Core was simply unbelievable.
However, they didn't dare linger; they couldn't afford to mess with this small team.
Chuanchuan picked a wild fruit from the nearby bushes, from some mutated plant, and began to eat it with a crunching sound in a corner.
Sang Luoluo realized what was happening and rushed over, snatching the remaining quarter of the fruit from the dog's mouth. Pointing at the dog's head, she angrily said, "Why do you eat everything? What if this thing is poisonous?"
"Beep beep beep, radiation level 15, low radiation, consumption recommended."
"Huh?" Sang Luoluo asked in confusion. Qi Feng, who was standing next to her, leaned closer. "Edible?"
Sang Luoluo didn't recognize the fruit. Judging by its size, it was about half the size of a fist. She brought it closer and smelled it. It had Qingtian aroma, unlike any other fruit she knew.
"I've never seen this kind of mutated plant before," Sang Luoluo said.
Qi Feng checked with his wristwatch and found that only a quarter of the fruit remained. The scan couldn't reveal its original appearance; it had been chewed beyond recognition.
He shook his head.
Sang Luoluo had no choice but to put the remaining quarter of the fruit into her spatial storage, fearing that the Chuanchuan might cause some adverse reactions.
That stupid dog.
" Chuanchuan, where did you find it? Take me to see it."
Sang Luoluo rubbed the dog's head.
Chuanchuan Chuan tilted its head and licked its lips, understanding its owner's meaning, and happily ran into the bushes.
Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng quickly followed, simultaneously spreading out their senses to prevent any danger from approaching.
Arriving at a dense patch of grass, there was a mutated plant growing on the slope, with traces of freshly picked fruit still visible. The remaining part looked like a large weed. Sang Luoluo approached.
The watch beeped.
"Beep beep beep, radiation level 17, low radiation, consumption recommended."
Qi Feng said, "There's another one nearby, also with low radiation, and it's edible."
I also checked other mutated plants nearby; "the rest all had high levels of radiation."
Sang Luoluo looked down at the two mutated plants. "They're not tall, and they're not very big, yet they're producing low-radiation fruit in this high-radiation area. Strange."
"How about we take one back with us?"
Qi Feng nodded. "I think that's a good idea. I've never seen this kind of plant before. Let me make a note of its location."
Qi Feng has already located and recorded the location, taking photos as evidence. He's used to doing this.
Sang Luoluo out a plant and placed it in the Stasis Zone of the space.
Let's go.
If it's a new species, we can take it back to Sang Mei or the laboratory at Base No. 32.
He picked up Chuanchuan and asked worriedly, "You ate that fruit, are you alright?"
"Don't eat random things in the future. It's not like I'm not giving you anything to eat."
The Chuanchuan wagged their tails happily, though it's unclear whether they understood what was happening.
"All the Crystal Core have been cleaned; there are 16 in total."
They didn't linger any longer and quickly left.
Sang Luoluo collected a few usable mutated animal corpses and stored them in her spatial storage; they might come in handy later.
After walking for nearly an hour, Qi Xue said, "It's noon, let's rest for a while."
Sang Luoluo thought it was a good idea, "Let's find a relatively safe place."
"That place is nice; there's a giant tree there, and it provides shade," Qi Feng said.
"Walk."
Upon reaching the tree, Sang Luoluo spread her senses and confirmed that the vicinity was not the lair of any mutated animal. There were a few small mutated animals active within 300 meters, but that was not important.
"There are still tire tracks there; a group of people went deeper into the area," He Fei said.
Sang Luoluo: "Never mind, let's rest first."
She waved and brought out the car, and everyone got in to rest. Chuanchuan had been running around all morning and was tired, Sang Luoluo gave it dog food and some Spirit Spring Water and told it to take care of itself.
Sang Luoluo's Mental Power was somewhat depleted, so she distributed boxed lunches to everyone and rested for a while while eating, leaning against the soft pillows.
Chapter 224 Let's be patient. Instead of going through all that trouble to find it, we might as well...
In the car, one could almost rest assured, but Qi Feng was still worried, so he left one person to keep watch while the others rested.
Everyone took a short nap to recover their strength and energy.
Actually, it doesn't really need a lookout to remind it. Chuanchuan lies on the hood of the car, and as soon as a mutant animal gets close, it stands up and makes a whining warning sound. Once the nearby mutant animal moves away, it lies down again.
After resting for nearly an hour, the group wasn't in a hurry to leave because it was cloudy outside, whereas it had been sunny just moments before.
Qi Feng also advised against setting off so soon, suggesting, "Let's wait and see. If the weather isn't right, we won't find a suitable place to stop if we rush forward."
Everyone always believed Qi Feng's words and didn't question them, and a little more time wouldn't make a difference.
Qi Xue checked the weather forecast. "It's going to rain."
Sang Luoluo: "Rain? How long will it rain?"
Qi Xue held out her wristwatch for everyone to see, "It's hard to say, but it took at least a day and a night. Luckily we had this car and a place to hide."
Qi Feng said, "It's not a big problem. After all, it's in the wild. Someone must be on guard at night."
Twenty minutes later, it started to drizzle outside. The rain wasn't heavy, and teams were still seeing their scores increase on the leaderboard. Some teams had full protective suits and weren't afraid of the rain in the wild. It was just a light drizzle; if it were a heavy rain, they would have to consider taking shelter.
The sky was overcast, making the interior of the carriage somewhat dim. Only one dim light was left on, illuminating the corners of the carriage to make everyone more comfortable.
On rainy days, the signal is not as good as at the base in the wild. There are some small games on the watch to pass the time. However, Sang Luoluo can sense the changes in the rain outside. It is sometimes heavy and sometimes light, but it shows no sign of stopping.
The rain continued intermittently until midnight. As Sang Luoluo lay in bed, she suddenly sensed some unusual presences within her perception range, which startled her awake.
Rubbing her eyes, Sang Luoluo cleared her mind and carefully sensed what she had just discovered with her Mental Power.
