Sang Luoluo threw a few pieces of honey at it, and the mutated bees immediately turned their attention to the mutated black bear. Sang Qi Xue and the other two in the distance gave Sang Luoluo a thumbs up.
Sang Luoluo quickly circled the honey in the high-radiation zone, and only after confirming that all the Crystal Core had been removed did she feel relieved.
The once enormous beehive is now dilapidated, with only inedible parts remaining.
Sang Luoluo collected some highly radioactive honey and stored it in her spatial storage for the mutated black bear. Then, she began to fly through the air, aiming her Crystal Core at the mutated bees.
The Crystal Core kept firing.
The mutated black bear was happily eating, and the buzzing mutated bees around it posed no threat whatsoever. Its fur was thick enough that it would occasionally have to swing its paws to shoo away the mutated bees that were approaching.
Seeing that Sang Luoluo had taken action, Qi Xue and the others also came out to shoot at the mutated bees.
Sang Luoluo's Crystal Core was too powerful, with dense firepower and a wide firing range. A large number of mutated bees died as soon as it swept across the area.
The mutated black bear saw it, but didn't care.
It didn't intend to run away; it liked the human's water even more than honey.
After dealing with the nearby mutated bees, Sang Luoluo aimed her Crystal Core at the mother beetle and fired a barrage of shots, killing the mutated mother beetle.
Of the remaining mutated bees, a small portion escaped, while the rest chose to attack Sang Luoluo and the mutated black bear. Sang Luoluo hovered in mid-air, concentrating on shooting, while those that got close to her Mental Power attack range were pulled into the space.
Qi Xue and her team also had considerable firepower. With the mutated black bear providing cover, they were able to work much more easily, taking down the mutated bees with a single shot.
A dozen minutes later, after eliminating the last mutated bee, Sang Luoluo took the mutated black bear that was eating into her spatial storage and moved all the remaining honey into it.
They also prepared two large basins of fresh Spirit Spring Water for it.
It glanced at Sang Luoluo and was very happy.
It is accustomed to not resisting in the space, but when it comes to the outside, the mutated black bear does not dare to go too far. It has seen this human's methods and cannot escape at all.
All it needs to do is eat and drink obediently.
Sang Luoluo then began to pick up the corpses of the mutated bees that had fallen to the ground, keeping the ones with Crystal Core and leaving the ones without Crystal Core.
Sang Luoluo collected the items quickly, circling the tree once and putting away everything that needed to be put away.
"Let's retreat."
Sang Luoluo said, "I'm too tired today, let's call it a day and find a place to rest."
Qi Xue nodded, praising as she walked, " Luoluo, you looked so cool controlling that mutated black bear just now!!"
Sang Luoluo smiled and said, "This space is my domain. When it misbehaves inside, I beat it up, and it's become much quieter. But next time it comes out, you still need to be careful. This mutated black bear has a lot of explosive power. I'm afraid it might suddenly attack us."
He Fei down his spine. "It's not impossible."
Lei Qi said, "So much honey can be exchanged for a lot of supplies. Right now, even without the Farm App, our team's strength is enough to keep us from going hungry."
He was genuinely confident in their team's capabilities. In the past, even if they found edible food in the wild, they couldn't bring it back—it was too cumbersome. Large trucks couldn't drive deep into the forest. There was no other way; dealing with danger was often enough to cause them serious problems, let alone having to worry about food.
With Sang Luoluo's abilities, things couldn't be more convenient.
Things are different now. The food in Farm App is delicious, but it's expensive, and you might not even be able to get it. If necessary, you can still eat food you find in the wild.
Sang Luoluo, unaware of their thoughts, searched the vicinity for a relatively open space where she could rest.
Qi Xue, being experienced, quickly found a suitable resting place. "That place is nice; it's sheltered by rocks and has few mutated plants."
Sang Luoluo sensed the situation over there. "Huh, there's a natural cave over there, could it be the nest of some mutated animal...?"
I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine.
Qi Xue said, "Let's go take a look. If it's not safe, we'll drag it out and take over its nest."
Upon arriving nearby, Sang Luoluo probed the cave with her senses and found no mutated animals, but there was a natural hot spring.
"It's a hot spring! There's actually a hot spring here!" Sang Luoluo exclaimed in surprise.
He Fei: "Hot springs? What are hot springs?"
Sang Luoluo said, "It's a place where you can take a bath, but I don't know if it's safe to bathe in. Let's check the radiation first."
Sensing no danger nearby, Sang Luoluo took out her wristwatch. The radiation around the cave was moderate, which was fine for them; they could rest here.
"There's a lot of moisture around here. There are also quite a few mutated mushrooms growing over there."
Qi Xue said, "This place is fine. You can't soak in hot springs in the wild; it's too dangerous."
Sang Luoluo said, "Let's line up to wash our protective suits first, then get on the bus."
As they spoke, Sang Luoluo had already placed the armored vehicle at the cave entrance. There wasn't enough room to fit it inside, so she told them to line up and keep their distance. Sang Luoluo then took out a bucket from her spatial storage and began washing the protective suits one by one.
He Fei finished washing up and got in the car, then Lei Qi, and then Qi Xue.
Sang Luoluo poured two buckets of water over herself to wash off all the spore powder before getting into the car for disinfection.
I was relieved to confirm that I wouldn't bring the spores into the car.
After closing the car door, the group slumped down together.
Qi Xue: "Finally, I can rest."
Lei Qi's stomach rumbled, "I'm starving."
Sang Luoluo waved her hand, bringing out a table and food. "Eat first, everyone, have something to eat to tide you over."
They were all pre-portioned foods with little flavor.
Everyone was starving after a day without food.
Sang Luoluo also started eating heartily.
While eating, Sang Luoluo thought of Chuanchuan and Qi Feng, wondering how they were doing. She then contacted Sang Yunpu.
The call was answered almost immediately.
"What happened?"
Sang Luoluo paused for a moment. "No, we're fine, we just wanted to ask how Qi Feng and Chuanchuan are doing?"
Sang Yunpu relaxed. He subconsciously thought his sister had encountered some problem on the phone, but after realizing what was wrong, he slowly replied, "It's all alright now. Chuanchuan has woken up. Qi Feng woke up briefly in the middle of the night, but then passed out again. He needs to rest a bit more, but he should wake up tomorrow."
Sang Luoluo: "Oh."
Sang Yunpu couldn't help but ask about their situation outside, "What did you do today?"
Sang Luoluo took a big bite of beef, chewing it with relish, when her gaze met Qi Xue's. She said, "Let your sister-in-law tell you. It was a truly exciting day."
As he spoke, he shared his chat interface with Qi Xue and the others.
Qi Xue ate while chatting with Sang Yunpu, telling him about the interesting things that happened that day, and once they started talking, they couldn't stop.
Sang Luoluo her head and ate her rice; it was already dark outside.
After slowly finishing her meal, Sang Luoluo inadvertently looked up at the window and suddenly her gaze froze.
He Fei happened to look up and follow Sang Luoluo's gaze.
He has excellent eyesight. If Sang Luoluo uses her senses, he simply uses his eyes. Outside the window, where they had recently cleaned their protective suits, hundreds of mutated mushrooms have sprung up from the ground, growing at an astonishing rate, visible to the naked eye.
Moreover, other mutated mushrooms were trying to emerge from underground. Sang Luoluo didn't know how to describe it; it was quite terrifying.
Turning his head to look at He Fei asked, "Can mutated mushrooms grow this fast?"
He Fei shook his head. "How is that possible? This is too fast. It's too bizarre."
Lei Qi followed the gaze, but it was too dark outside to see clearly.
Qi Xue sensed the awkward atmosphere and immediately stopped chatting, saying, "I have to go now."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Sang Luoluo and the others. "What's wrong?"
He Fei suddenly realized something was wrong. "What... what kind of water did you use to wash your protective suit just now?"
Sang Luoluo realized. "It's the mineral water from the Farm App. I thought the water was clean, so I just used it."
Lei Qi said, "What did you see? Why are you so serious!"
Sang Luoluo immediately grabbed a flashlight, shone it over, and turned off all the lights in the carriage.
The group looked in the direction of the light and saw that the mutated mushrooms were still growing, at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Lei Qi: "Holy crap!! Has this mutated?"
Sang Luoluo said, "Do you want to go out and take a look?"
Qi Xue said, "Don't go out. Something's wrong. As long as this thing doesn't threaten our armored vehicles, don't go out. We finally managed to clear it out and get in, so everyone should rest and conserve their energy. We'll retreat if things get dangerous."
She was also having a terrible headache. She had just been chatting with Sang Yunpu about how interesting today had been and how she hadn't encountered any trouble, and then she ran into him. That foul mouth of hers.
Sang Luoluo: "Alright. If they grow near the car, I'll use my Mental Power to cut them off."
As Sang Luoluo spoke, she took a slice of orange and put it in her mouth.
You need to be well-fed and watered to have energy.
Sang Luoluo was so sleepy that she dozed off for a while. When Qi Xue woke her up in the middle of the night, she found that the mutated mushrooms had already grown next to the armored vehicle.
I'll take them now.
Qi Xue nodded, telling Sang Luoluo not to panic, and said, "Look at your watch, those mutated mushrooms have low radiation, only 19, so they're safe to eat."
Sang Luoluo exclaimed in surprise, "What? So low?"
Qi Xue said, "Use your Mental Power to test the other things while wearing the wristwatch."
