When Sang Luoluo woke up early the next morning, she found the car moving at a moderate speed, weaving through the jungle.
I rubbed my eyes and saw that almost everyone was already up, wearing their protective gear and ready to get off the bus.
Sang Luoluo took out breakfast.
Everyone ate while observing the outside environment.
Qi Feng was resting with his eyes closed. He Fei was driving. He Fei reminded him, "The danger zone is just ahead. There are no other teams there, and no one has set foot there yet."
Lei Qi lowered his head and ate heartily. The aroma of the eggs stimulated his taste buds. Then he chewed on a piece of beef jerky and some fruit, stuffing them into his mouth one after another.
The same goes for Sang Luoluo; if she eats a little more now, her next meal might be in the evening.
Qi Feng was also woken up for dinner. He rested for the rest of the night and seemed to have had a good rest.
After lunch, as dawn was breaking, He Fei drove forward but encountered a place full of obstacles, forcing everyone to get out and walk.
After putting on our radiation protection suits, we all got off the bus together.
Without Sang Luoluo's intervention, everyone had already begun their own exploration. After Sang Luoluo put the car away, Qi Xue chose a direction, and everyone followed.
Sang Luoluo put down the Chuanchuan and let it follow. It was very clever and ran directly after Qi Feng. As soon as there was any movement, it would run forward on its own. Qi Feng and the others followed closely behind, holding Crystal Core in their hands, ready to attack at any time.
Sang Luoluo's senses spread out, with two Crystal Core hovering above her head, protecting her in the middle. The vision within 300 meters fed back into her mind, naturally detecting some active mutated animals within the range.
She didn't need to remind him at all; Qi Feng had already arranged everything and was leading the way. Chuanchuan would also give reminders, and Qi Xue and the others would kill anyone they found, so she didn't even have a chance to take action.
All she needed to do was collect the corpses of the mutated animals she had already killed into her spatial storage. In addition, she needed to focus on sensing the nearby Crystal Core to guide them.
Scattered mutated animals are the most common, while those that live in groups are very difficult to spot. It was her senses that first detected that some mutated flying insects would choose huge trees and breed inside the trunks, using them as their nests.
They encountered them, and naturally they had to eliminate them. By sheer coincidence, they ran into a swarm of mutated flying insects.
These mutated flying insects are small, each about the size of a thumb. They return to tree trunks to rest at night and come out during the day to attach themselves to nearby mutated plants, drink dew, and eat mutated plants and the corpses of other mutated animals.
When Sang Luoluo first noticed these things on the nearby tree trunks, she quickly warned, "There are too many of them, roughly tens of thousands. We only have a few Crystal Core, how can we easily deal with these mutated flying insects?"
"Once we alert them, we won't be able to escape so easily. The mutated flying insects will be everywhere."
Sang Luoluo was a little worried. She had never encountered this situation before. The only solution she could think of was to lure the prey with food and then launch a concentrated attack. Although this method consumed a lot of food, it never failed.
Qi Feng said, "Don't panic. Although the sheer number of these mutated flying insects is terrifying, if we deal with them, our team's ranking will rise significantly. And that's all points!"
Sang Luoluo nodded; what he said was correct.
Chuanchuan also discovered mutated flying insects nearby. Now that it's light, mutated flying insects are gradually flying out and moving around in the mutated grass, with only one or two here and there.
These two are so simple; Sang Luoluo could easily use her Mental Power to pull them into her spatial dimension and deal with them, or she could simply use the power of her Mental Power to tear them in half.
Chuanchuan saw a flying insect fly in front of him, and after seeing Qi Feng shoot it dead, he fixed his gaze on the mutated flying insect not far away. A bolt of lightning struck, directly charring the mutated flying insect on the mutated weeds, and a faint smell of burning could be smelled.
Everyone's eyes turned to the Chuanchuan.
Lei Qi exclaimed in disbelief, "Even a dog is this powerful now? I can't even imagine. If that attack had hit me, I'd be dead."
Sang Luoluo said, "It's just your dog, don't overthink it."
Qi Feng said, "Perhaps... you can let me try. I just want to practice a new ability, and I'll have Chuanchuan cooperate with me while you all watch from the sidelines."
Sang Luoluo was puzzled. She had just been struggling with how to deal with these mutated flying insects, and now she was to do it all by herself. She looked at the others, who were all very supportive.
Sang Luoluo didn't refuse. "Be careful."
Qi Feng didn't forget to make a request, saying, "Let Chuanchuan stay with me. Its control over lightning is much stronger than mine. With it by my side, I can learn faster."
Lei Qi: "Boss, are you really sure? What about all those mutated flying insects? They won't be easy to deal with once they get close."
The Lei Qi of those mutated flying insects swarming and gnawing at his radiation suit sent chills down his spine. He was speechless for a moment. No wonder he was the boss; he really had courage.
Qi Xue agreed, "I have to say, this is the best way right now. Be careful, we'll support you from behind."
Qi Feng nodded and beckoned Chuanchuan to walk forward together.
Chuanchuan turned around and looked at Sang Luoluo. Seeing Sang Luoluo nod, she followed Qi Feng out, fully armed and wearing protective suits that covered her completely.
Sang Luoluo asked, "Are there any other good ways to deal with these mutated flying insects?"
Qi Xue said, "Yes, there are, but the cost is too high. Some bases can use special agents to deal with these mutated flying insects, which are effective, but they can also develop resistance. They are effective in the short term, and the agents need to be constantly improved. There are also drawbacks. The drawback is that the mutated plants nearby cannot be eaten, even those mutated plants that have been detected to have low radiation levels."
"Another method is to introduce natural enemies, but that's also difficult to implement and very costly. Let Qi Feng try it. If his and Chuanchuan's lightning abilities really work, then we can deal with other mutated flying insects next time we encounter them. Right now, we can't guarantee that we can deal with every mutated flying insect; we can only deal with as many as we see."
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo urged everyone to move forward a bit further, maintaining a distance of 300 meters. Within this range, the mutated flying insects were not densely packed; it was just dawn, and many of them were still in the trees and had not yet flown out.
Sang Luoluo said, "Everyone, feel free to fire. I'll control the area within thirty meters."
After they finished speaking, they found a relatively safe tree trunk and lay down. Sang Luoluo had already used her Mental Power to set up 10 Crystal Core and fired at the mutated flying insects scattered in the mutated grass around them. Within 300 meters, every shot hit its mark, and Sang Luoluo didn't need to worry about accuracy at all.
She didn't intend to shoot from 300 meters away. She knew her marksmanship; without the help of her senses, she would never have been able to shoot so accurately.
Qi Xue and the others had already opened fire, taking down the insects one by one. He Fei didn't even want to waste the Crystal Core, so he switched to laser weapons. These weapons only needed to be recharged when their energy was depleted. He couldn't bear to use Crystal Core to fight these mutated flying insects that posed little threat.
After dealing with the mutated flying insects within her range, Sang Luoluo used her senses to carefully observe the situation on Qi Feng and Chuanchuan's side, aiming her Crystal Core at their surroundings, ready to provide fire support at any time.
Qi Feng led Chuanchuan to the vicinity of the mutated flying insects. Qi Feng patted Chuanchuan's head and whispered, "See those mutated flying insects on the tree? Our mission is to eliminate them. Use your abilities."
Chuanchuan Chuan tilted its head and understood. It looked at the mutated flying insects on the tree, barked twice in their direction, and emitted a bolt of lightning even more powerful than before, instantly striking the tree trunk. The entire tree trembled slightly, and the area where the lightning struck was scorched.
Qi Feng was shocked; in that instant, over a thousand had been killed.
" Chuanchuan, well done, keep it up!"
Without further ado, he tried to mobilize the power within his body, wanting to test the power of lightning. He had tried it before but wasn't used to it. However, since it was just him and Chuanchuan here, lightning was generated from within his body, spreading across his fingertips, and then transforming into visible blue-purple lightning that crackled and flew out.
The direction was slightly off, but it still managed to hit some leaves in the distance and start a fire.
It electrocuted about 100 mutated flying insects at once.
He's far inferior to Chuanchuan in terms of energy control.
"Can you put out the fire, Chuanchuan?"
Chapter 232 The specially made smoke is extremely efficient.
Chuanchuan reacted for a moment and understood what he meant. Immediately afterwards, another lightning strike followed the spot where Qi Feng's lightning had struck before, increasing the area affected by the lightning.
At the same time, the corpses of hundreds of mutated flying insects also fell down.
The fire was also extinguished.
Qi Feng breathed a sigh of relief; the fire was almost out of control.
If a fire breaks out in this dense forest, the mutated animals living nearby will desperately try to escape, causing a disturbance. In severe cases, they might even attack the base in groups, making the situation uncontrollable.
This also illustrates that while lightning strikes are powerful, if properly controlled, they can have other uses besides being highly lethal.
Watching from a distance, Lei Qi couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "This ability is too monstrous. It can wipe out so many people with a single blow. What are we doing carrying these Crystal Core?"
Qi Xue didn't take it seriously. "It's just a special ability. I haven't mastered it yet. If I don't control it properly, it's possible that it will backfire on me."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Qi Feng unleashed a lightning strike. Although it hit two or three hundred mutated flying insects, some of the remaining lightning power still struck him, causing him to collapse to the ground.
