After learning about their ordeal, Doctor Li was speechless. How could they be struck by lightning? The probability of that was too small. The Guard had carried out missions in the wild during the rainy season before, and walking in the forest was a common occurrence, but being struck by lightning was something he had never heard of before.
That was... really unlucky.
Seeing that the vital signs of the man and the dog were gradually stabilizing, Doctor Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The vital signs are stable, so there should be no danger to their lives. However, Sang Yunpu still needs follow-up treatment, which will take a few days. Don't worry."
Sang Yunpu also heard it, and he felt his abilities repairing their cells and damaged organs after entering their bodies.
Doctor Li said, "It's fortunate you brought him here in time; if it had been any more serious, even your brother wouldn't have been able to save him."
After an hour of energy release, the lives of the man and the dog were finally saved. The energy expenditure was too great, and Sang Yunpu's energy was almost depleted as well.
Doctor Li had the person and dog carried inside, settled them in a ward, and prescribed some recovery medication.
Doctor Li said, "Don't forget to pay the fee."
Sang Luoluo nodded and placed the prepared Crystal Core into Sang Yunpu's hand.
Sang Yunpu held the Crystal Core, absorbing energy. When the energy was depleted, he absorbed it even faster, feeling the energy within his body slowly recovering. Sang Yunpu asked, "You two are back. Where are the others? Did they come back too?"
Knowing he was worried about his sister-in-law, Sang Luoluo said, "I left them enough food and water in the armored vehicle. Qi Feng and Chuanchuan were in a hurry, so Lei Qi and I had to get back as quickly as possible."
Sang Luoluo continued, "I only regret that I'm not fast enough. If only I had an airplane."
"Don't worry, brother, your wife and the others are fine and safe for now. Oh, I need to let them know I'm safe."
Sang Luoluo turned on her wristwatch, intending to contact Qi Xue and the others. The rain was intermittent, so she sent a message explaining Qi Feng and Chuanchuan's situation and telling them to take care of themselves. She and Lei Qi would return once Qi Feng and Chuanchuan's condition stabilized.
Having returned under immense stress, Sang Luoluo and Lei Qi also needed rest. Having eaten breakfast, their stomachs were growling with hunger. After washing their protective suits, they finally took off their armor to eat and rest.
Sang Luoluo took out two hamburgers, rice porridge, and fruit. The two of them ate heartily facing each other, while keeping an eye on Sang Yunpu's recovery progress.
It was three hours later that Sang Yunpu fully recovered.
He channeled energy into his fingertips again to treat Qi Feng Qi Feng Chuanchuan Chuanchuan. The green energy entered their bodies, continuously repairing their cells. Sang Luoluo faintly heard Chuanchuan humming.
The place where you get struck by lightning must hurt quite a bit.
Sang Luoluo used a syringe to feed them both some Spirit Spring Water.
This treatment was even more effective than the last Sang Yunpu. The instruments showed that not only were their vital signs stable, but their heartbeats were also stronger.
Doctor Li, watching from the side, gave a definitive answer, " Sang Luoluo, don't worry, they're both out of danger. You two can go back and rest, or... continue your mission. We'll take care of them. With your brother's abilities, they'll be bouncing around again in less than three days."
Sang Yunpu said, "It's too late today. If you two want to leave, it will be tomorrow morning."
Sang Luoluo nodded. "Okay. I can catch up on some sleep at the hospital."
Sang Luoluo and Lei Qi were able to rest in the next room. Sang Yunpu had exhausted his energy for two consecutive days and also needed to sleep, eat, and absorb Crystal Core to recover.
Sang Luoluo was exhausted both mentally and physically, and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Lei Qi is similar.
In the middle of the night, Qi Feng and Chuanchuan lay in the same hospital room. Their bodies were slowly recovering after being nourished by Sang Yunpu's abilities. Faintly, one could see the electric current flashing across their skin and muscles. It did not dissipate but remained in their bodies for some unknown reason. A bolt of lightning would flash across their bodies and then disappear.
After daybreak, Sang Luoluo and Lei Qi got up early to check on them. They found that their vital signs were normal and Sang Yunpu had recovered and could continue his treatment. Seeing that they were slowly recovering, Sang Luoluo and Lei Qi left.
There were other teammates in the field, and they were still a little worried about leaving them there alone.
Chapter 226 So low, can you eat it?
"Brother, we're leaving."
Sang Luoluo waved goodbye to Sang Yunpu with peace of mind.
Sang Yunpu nodded, patted her head, and said, "You must take good care of yourself outside, and Xiaoxue too. Don't do anything too dangerous. I know you're capable and can protect yourself, but with a natural disaster like this, there's no time to even react. This time, it's just that Qi Feng and Chuanchuan were lucky; otherwise, I don't know what I would have done. I really want to go to the wilderness with you."
Sang Luoluo stopped him. "Brother, your abilities are still too weak. It's not suitable for you to go into the wild. Let's wait until your abilities improve a few levels before we talk about it."
Speaking of this, Sang Yunpu said, "I've noticed that every time I deplete my body's energy and then replenish it by absorbing Crystal Core cores or taking a nap, I always feel that my body's energy seems to be a little bit more than before. Although it's only a little bit, I feel that my abilities are increasing."
Sang Luoluo thought for a moment, recalling how she used her abilities. "That's true. Sometimes I can feel my energy being depleted, and then replenishing it will increase it a little, but the rate of increase is too slow. The fastest way is to directly absorb Crystal Core; once the energy is full, I can directly break through the original level."
"But brother, you've only just awakened your abilities, so don't rush it, take it slow."
"Yes, I know. I'll take care of Qi Feng and Chuanchuan, so don't feel pressured. I'll wait for you to come back."
After waving goodbye to Sang Yunpu once more, Sang Luoluo and Lei Qi left the ward.
She had packed up the motorcycle. It had been driven along, and after the collision, there were a few minor deformities in some places, but the damage was minimal.
To make the journey more comfortable, Sang Luoluo switched to a Mercedes-Benz G-Class and had Lei Qi drive it, saying, "Once we leave the base and enter the forest, we'll switch to motorcycles."
"Good."
Lei Qi still prefers driving four-wheeled vehicles; he has a better sense of direction and they are more stable.
Finally, the rain stopped, the sun came out, and the temperature rose. Sang Luoluo felt a bit hot, mainly because the protective suit was so effective at controlling the heat. Since they hadn't yet entered the wild forest and there was no immediate danger, Sang Luoluo didn't wear a helmet. She took out two popsicles, one for herself and one for Lei Qi.
Lei Qi, driving with one hand and holding an ice pop in the other, was instantly captivated by the taste of the ice pop and exclaimed, " Boss Sang, you have such good stuff!"
Sang Luoluo casually told a little lie, "It was something I did before."
"This awful weather, it's already getting hot. I hate the thought of hot weather."
Sang Luoluo listened to him complain the whole way. When it was hot, it was actually cooler to do missions in the wild because you could find shade, which was more comfortable than being in the base. Blah blah blah, and while listening, she finished her popsicle.
Once they reached the edge of the forest, Sang Luoluo switched back to her car; in this kind of forest, a motorcycle was more convenient.
"Hold on tight."
After Lei Qi finished speaking, the motorcycle shot off and sped through the dense forest.
Compared to when we came out before, it was slower and much more stable, with safety as the top priority.
They returned the way they came, but after just one night, the path they had cleared the day before was now overgrown with weeds. The motorcycle sped along, and the two of them had to crash into the weeds. If they were to walk, they probably wouldn't find anyone until dark.
Lei Qi passed by a spot, he asked in confusion, "Hey, isn't this the place where you killed over a dozen mutated wolves yesterday? There's not a single corpse left. I was thinking that since I came back early today, I might be able to retrieve a couple."
Sang Luoluo didn't care. "If it's gone, it's gone. We can just fight again."
Sensing the approach of mutated animals, she pulled them into her spatial dimension and eliminated them as soon as they entered her Mental Power attack range. Along the way, she had accumulated more than fifty mutated animal corpses.
These are only the ones that are nearby. Unfortunately, the recorder is with He Fei, so the ones she has killed so far don't count towards her points. She also hasn't collected many Crystal Core from these mutated animals.
After a bumpy journey, we finally arrived near the forest from yesterday. However, there were many mutated mushrooms in the area, which were now ripe compared to yesterday, and the air was filled with spores.
Lei Qi said, "Just to be safe, I'll drive slowly. You watch your surroundings."
Sang Luoluo observed the surrounding environment and found that several places were completely blocked by mutated mushrooms and fungi. With no other option, Sang Luoluo had to put the motorcycle away and the two of them had to walk.
Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to create a transparent cover to shield the two of them, to prevent them from getting too much spore powder on them, as it was inconvenient to wash off.
Lei Qi walked in front of her, holding the Crystal Core. The traces of yesterday's passage had been concealed by the mutated plants, and he could only rely on his memory to discern the direction.
Lei Qi is very experienced; Sang Luoluo can just follow him.
After much difficulty, winding their way around the mushroom forest and walking a distance further, they finally found Qi Xue and her group, along with their car, around noon.
They stayed near the car and, over the course of the night, collected 77 Crystal Core.
