Getting closer and closer.
"There are people there! Thank goodness, we're saved!"
Sang Luoluo heard this sentence from afar.
The Chuanchuan noticed the noise and started barking wildly.
Qi Feng shielded everyone behind him, reminding them, "They might not be easy to deal with. Put the car away first."
Sang Luoluo did as instructed.
The various teams have been in the dense forest for several days now, and unlike their team, the other teams don't have a spatial ability user like Sang Luoluo, who can carry so many supplies.
If he's not mistaken, he's probably here for supplies. It's several days' journey from here to the outside of the dense forest, and with supplies running low, the fastest way to get supplies is to go to other bases nearby.
They might even try to take their Crystal Core cores.
Sang Luoluo also kept a close watch, carefully storing the Chuanchuan in her spatial storage, not wanting Chuanchuan hurt them.
The group of people quickly approached.
"Huh, I just heard a dog barking. Where did it go?"
"Captain, you must be imagining things. Why would there be a dog here?"
That team captain wasn't naive. "Not necessarily. One of the top ten teams has a dog, right?"
"You mean that composed team? That's not the Sang Family's team..."
Then there was no sound.
Perhaps the opposing captain stopped them from speaking.
"Hello, friends up ahead! We are the Wang Family's team, and I am the captain Wang Qiang."
Qi Feng gave him a wink, and Lei Qi stepped forward, saying to the other party, "We are ready to respond calmly; you probably guessed correctly."
The figures of the other party appeared quickly. There were five people in total, all men. Two of them were very big and were carrying weapons. Each of them had a huge bag on their back.
" Lei Qi." Lei Qi introduced himself.
" Lei Qi, hello, this is Captain Wang Qiang. Our team is in trouble and needs your help. We're currently in the dense forest, and we've already lost two teammates. We're too scared to go any further alone. Why don't we go together?"
Lei Qi said, "That's not very convenient, is it?"
Wang Qiang suddenly spoke up, "Are you the captain of your team? I remember your captain is named Sang Luoluo. Could you let your captain talk to us?"
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo said, "I'm here, but I disagree with going together. Too many people will make too much noise, and it won't be convenient if a fight breaks out."
The opposing team is the Wang Family's team, which is basically their rivalry. There's absolutely no need for them to team up. If it were another team, we might consider it.
Seeing that Sang Luoluo refused, he wasn't angry, as if it were expected. He then said, "Then could I borrow some supplies? Our team's supplies are exhausted. I remember you're a space-type evolver, so you must have a lot of supplies. We don't need much, just share half with us. I'll replenish them when we get back."
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo thought to herself that what Qi Feng said was true; it really was about supplies.
Wang Qiang continued, "We're all working for the base, and it's fate that we met. We just need some supplies. We've been wandering around here for so many days, and we don't have much left. Some of our supplies were destroyed in the battle with the mutated animals, and we had no choice. Because of the heavy rain, the base only has a few rescue planes, which can't provide supplies to the team at all. There aren't any edible mutated plants nearby, so we can only ask for your help."
Sang Luoluo smiled upon hearing this; the other party knew their team completely, even her name and abilities.
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo looked at them and said, "You said it yourself, we're in competition now. Giving you supplies directly would be a loss for us. If you can't hold on, you can call for reinforcements from the base and go back directly."
"Of course, you don't have to go back if you don't want to. My supplies aren't free; I need you to exchange them for Crystal Core. Don't say you'll give them to me when we get back. Who knows if you'll even leave this dense forest alive? Nobody can say for sure what will happen in the future. So, let's exchange Crystal Core for supplies. If you agree, we'll trade; if not, then forget it."
Qi Xue chuckled and said, "That's right, we're all competitors, it's only natural. You can't expect to get something for nothing."
Seeing that they outnumbered him and that none of them were easy to deal with, Wang Qiang gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, then it'll be the market price."
Qi Feng said, "Three times the market price."
"We brought the supplies here and put in the effort, so isn't it reasonable to raise the price?"
Wang Qiang gritted his teeth and said, "Fine."
Sang Luoluo took out a box of canned food, including low-radiation food and farm produce, which she had received from the mission hall, as well as the rations she had previously collected. The taste was so-so; she didn't like it.
"A can of food, originally priced at 20 Crystal Core. Look carefully, these cans are all issued by the base, they're all good stuff," Sang Luoluo showed them.
"This box contains 60 cans of food, totaling 3600 Crystal Core."
Sang Luoluo said calmly, "To be honest, she really doesn't lack those Crystal Core. She can easily collect enough by killing a few mutated animals."
Wang Qiang took out dozens of Crystal Core from his pocket, which together had an energy of exactly 3600. The transaction went smoothly.
The other person looked at the canned food; they were already hungry.
Seeing this, Sang Luoluo gave a look, "We have something to do, so we'll be leaving now."
Wang Qiang didn't want them to leave. "Captain Sang, it's already dark. Let's all rest together and keep each other company, so we can look out for each other."
Qi Feng said, "No, let's not. We'd rather rest ourselves."
As soon as Sang Luoluo and the others left, Wang Qiang and his team followed them, clearly intending to stay with them for the night.
Sang Luoluo was speechless. But they couldn't shake them off.
Within his senses, he detected several dangerous auras nearby, belonging to large mutated animals.
Upon discovering the animals, Sang Luoluo immediately went on alert. Qi Feng and Lei Qi had already fired several shots into the unseen bushes. Sang Luoluo saw the mutated animals as soon as they entered her perception range. They were three mutated wolves, but they were much larger than ordinary mutated wolves, almost twice the size of the mutated wolves they had seen before.
When the mutated wolves appeared, Qi Feng, Lei Qi Xue, and He Fei attacked simultaneously, riddling the three mutated wolves with bullets until they were dead.
Sang Luoluo noticed that there were Crystal Core inside them, and Qi Feng immediately understood. He and Lei Qi split up to collect the Crystal Core, and nearly twenty Crystal Core were dug out from the three mutated wolves.
This made Wang Qiang and his team, who were following behind, extremely envious. However, they remained calm on the surface, which Sang Luoluo, who had been paying attention to them, could sense.
Chapter 237 This little one is deliberately so cute, has a temper, and is also very capable...
Qi Feng immediately understood and whispered, " The Wang Family's group is deliberately following us. These mutated wolves are probably after them. They think it's too difficult to deal with them, so they want to drag us into it."
Sang Luoluo: "... So heartless."
Lei Qi said, "Just these few aren't enough to fight. There are nearly twenty Crystal Core in just three of them. If we get a few more, we'll be rich."
Qi Xue scoffed, "What's the rush? There's more to come, enough for you to kill."
Qi Xue continued, "Since they've ripped us off like this, we can't just let it go."
"They want to follow us, right? Then let them get nothing."
Qi Xue's meaning was very clear: they would go ahead and kill all the mutated animals they encountered, leaving nothing behind.
Let them suffer the northwest wind as they go.
Lei Qi became interested. "I think it's a good idea. Besides, we'll sleep in the car tonight, and they can sleep in tents in the back."
Sang Luoluo: "..." It seems they themselves are quite ruthless.
Sang Luoluo: "Then let's decide on this."
Wang Qiang's team followed behind them, no more than 60 meters away. Sang Luoluo's senses were very clear; she could see them and even hear them talking clearly.
"Captain, they took care of the three mutated wolves so easily."
Wang Qiang said, "Only three? What's the rush? There will only be more later. Those beasts love to attack at night. We'll stay with them and let them hold the line."
"Captain, I can't hold on much longer, why are they still moving forward?"
"Huh, they seem to have stopped."
"Is it time to rest?"
Wang Qiang: "Let's go, let's follow them and get closer."
Sang Luoluo relayed their conversation to everyone.
Sang Luoluo didn't rush to take the car out; instead, she lit a fire on the spot. The temperature in the dense forest dropped sharply at night, and it was quite cold.
The fire not only keeps you warm, but it can also scare away some small, mutated animals.
"The tree branch that the space- Evolver conjured out of thin air was used to start a fire. [A type of plant]"
Wang Qiang also saw the fire on the other side; they were using it to heat canned goods, seemingly unconcerned that the aroma would attract mutated animals.
"Captain, the branches around us are all wet; we can't set them on fire."
Wang Qiang beckoned his teammates to come over, "Follow me."
You can't hit someone who's smiling. Everyone here is a prominent figure in the base, and he's Evolver the Wang Family has their eye on. His family status is also quite high. I heard that Sang Luoluo is the base leader's cousin. Surely she won't refuse him this favor.
Despite his jealousy, Wang Qiang smiled and said, "Let's go warm ourselves by the fire over there."
