I breathed a sigh of relief after it was resolved.
The journey was safe, and several tens of minutes later, the plane emerged from the forest and headed towards the field camp, landing smoothly.
Lei Qi contacted the medical personnel at the base, and soon someone came to meet him with a stretcher.
Using her Mental Power, Sang Luoluo placed the three seriously injured patients onto stretchers. After everyone was out, Sang Luoluo put the plane away.
He said, "Let's go, we can rest outside tonight."
Li Jiu went to check on his teammates, while Sang Luoluo went to find Sang Yunpu. They rested in the armored vehicle again that night.
Sang Luoluo had just found Sang Yunpu when she discovered he was busy treating a critically ill patient indoors. When he saw her, he smiled and nodded. Sang Luoluo then took a chair a little further away and sat down to wait.
He leisurely took out a cup of milk tea and sipped it.
It suddenly started raining outside.
After finishing their milk tea, Sang Yunpu was almost done as well. "Why did you guys suddenly come back?"
Sang Luoluo pointed to the several seriously injured patients. "Save them."
Sang Yunpu nodded. "Impressive, you can even save others inside."
Sang Luoluo took out two hot cans of food and handed them to Sang Yunpu. Her gaze fell on Li Jiu, who was guarding the three team members in the makeshift ward. Using her Mental Power, Sang Luoluo controlled the two hot cans of food and a bottle of water to fly to him. This distance was manageable.
Li Jiu was watching his teammates' injuries, seeing the nurses changing their dressings and treating them, when suddenly two cans of food and a bottle of water appeared in front of him. He reached out and they landed in his arms. He hurriedly hugged the cans and looked into the distance. Sang Yunpu and Sang Luoluo smiled at him and then left.
Watching the two figures leave, Li Jiu felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Do you know that person?
Sang Luoluo briefly explained about Li Jiu. After all, he was an employee at the milk tea shop, and she had worked for them for a while. When she found them, their backpacks and other belongings were gone, and they didn't even have any food on them. What they had eaten before had probably already been digested. Now, he was guarding his teammates, without food or water, which looked quite pitiful. Since they had known each other for a while, Sang Luoluo decided to give him some food to comfort him.
Sang Yunpu finished his work for the day and went back to the armored vehicle with Sang Luoluo to rest, where he could chat with Qi Xue.
When Sang Luoluo returned, the others had already eaten dinner.
I'm tired after a long day and I'm thinking of just taking a rest.
Sang Luoluo pulled Qi Feng aside and said, "I happen to have some Crystal Core stored here. I plan to try absorbing them; maybe it will improve my abilities. I don't know how long this will take. If I fall into a deep sleep, I'll be counting on you."
Upon hearing this, Qi Feng, recalling Sang Luoluo's previous experiences absorbing Crystal Core, whispered, "Don't worry, you just absorb the Crystal Core in the carriage, leave the rest to me."
Sang Luoluo placed a bed in the carriage and sat on it. It was raining outside, but it was unusually quiet inside. Lei Qi and the others were asleep, and Qi Feng was on night duty.
Sang Luoluo threw all the Crystal Core she had accumulated into her spatial storage. In addition, she also had some Crystal Core in her hand. In the blink of an eye, all the energy inside was absorbed.
He threw all the Crystal Core he had accumulated over the past few days into the space.
Sang Luoluo felt a familiar nausea, and her head felt a little swollen, probably from absorbing too much energy.
Space was clamoring for more Crystal Core.
Unfortunately, she doesn't have it now.
The discomfort persisted for a while, and Sang Luoluo a deep sleep.
When I woke up, it was still raining outside.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Qi Feng nearby. She was still connected to medical equipment, and her vital signs were normal.
There was no one else in the car, just the two of them.
Sang Luoluo felt very comfortable in her mind, and her Mental Power had increased again. Now, her Mental Power perception range was about 350 meters, and her Mental Power control range was about 35 meters.
It's even better than before.
He sat up abruptly and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
Qi Feng said, "A little over a day."
"They went out for a stroll; they couldn't stay in the carriage."
Noticing that it was still raining outside, Sang Luoluo asked, "How long has it been raining?"
Qi Feng said, "It's been raining on and off."
Before Sang Luoluo could speak, Qi Feng continued, "Your physical signs are relatively stable this time after absorbing the Crystal Core, with much less fluctuation than before. It's clear that your body's adaptability has improved. The time should also be shorter. Sleeping for so long is probably because you've been too tired these past few days and are catching up on sleep."
He finished speaking with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
How much has your Mental Power increased?
Sang Luoluo replied, "We'll have to test this in actual combat."
It should be about what she estimated.
Sang Luoluo's stomach rumbled, and she felt hungry.
They brought out a small table and laid out a table full of hot food. "Want to eat something together?"
Qi Feng didn't stand on ceremony and immediately lowered his head to eat.
On a rainy day like this, staying in a safe place and eating fruit, fried chicken, grilled fish, and stir-fried vegetables is simply blissful.
"Let's go into the woods after the rain stops. We can take advantage of the rain to rest properly."
Sang Luoluo said.
After eating and drinking her fill, Sang Luoluo was so full that she leaned back on the sofa to digest. The rain outside had stopped, but the forecast said it would start raining again in an hour.
Sang Luoluo was too lazy to go out, but when she sensed someone approaching the car, she realized Li Jiu had arrived.
Qi Feng knocked on the door and opened it to let him in.
" Boss Sang, there's something I want to tell you."
Sang Luoluo invited him in and said, "Just say what you need to say."
Li Jiu asked, "Um... our team only has me left with a minor injury. My injury has healed, I can walk normally, and I can continue to participate in the competition. The captain and the others are more seriously injured and need to stay here to recuperate for a while. Because of this, our team can't continue to participate in the competition. Could I... could I join your team? I won't hold you back."
Chapter 245 Eat More, Boss Sang, You're Such a Kind Person.
Sang Luoluo hesitated for a moment upon hearing this. Should she join their team?
"You want to join temporarily?"
Li Jiu quickly said, "I know your team is very strong and doesn't need many people. I'll do anything you ask. I just want a job that can earn Crystal Core. Boss Sang, I know you're very strong. With you, at least my safety is guaranteed. I wouldn't say it's absolutely safe, but it's much better than being with other teams."
Sang Luoluo glanced at Qi Feng sitting opposite her. "Actually, our team isn't short of people; we have just the right number of people right now. Besides, although your abilities are special, we haven't had any experience working together. In the dense forest, many things are hard to predict. Qi Feng, what do you think? Do we need a teammate like you?"
After all, Qi Feng is a professional in this area.
Upon hearing this, Qi Feng pondered Li Jiu's abilities. Judging from the rescue process, this person was able to delay for so long and survive, while also ensuring the survival of his teammates. His strength seemed quite impressive.
Moreover, their team will only venture deeper into the area, where the most dangerous creatures are the mutated plants, while the threat of mutated animals is negligible. Since he has the ability to lead such a weak team deep into the area and still survive, it's worth giving him a try to join the team.
Qi Feng quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "It's possible, but it's about the compensation... What level of compensation are you willing to accept?"
Li Jiu said, "Just give me whatever you think is appropriate. The fact that I can go with you to train in the depths is a huge benefit to me. As long as you give me food, that's fine."
Qi Feng said, "Okay, the team will provide meals. After this competition, your salary will be calculated based on the number of days worked—two radiation-free potatoes per day. We'll settle everything together then. All the Crystal Core you acquire while joining our team must be handed over. Any questions?"
Li Jiu's eyes lit up. "No problem, as long as there's food, that's fine. This treatment is already much better than I expected."
Now, not only are they providing food, but they also give him extra food after the competition, which makes him very satisfied. Moreover, he has seen how Boss Sang treats his teammates, and he believes that as long as he does well, he will definitely have his day.
Qi Feng replied, "Alright, let's do it this way. Let's exchange contact information, and I'll call you when it's time to leave. You can go back now."
Li Jiu left his contact information, glanced at Sang Luoluo, Sang Luoluo nodded in tacit approval. He then happily got out of the car and left.
"His ability is quite special, but I wonder if he can avoid the attacks of those mutated plants deep in the forest." Sang Luoluo pondered for a moment, and it was really hard to say right now.
Qi Feng said, "How effective will it be? He was the only one in their team who lasted until the end, which already shows his strength. I'm just worried that he hasn't had professional training from the Guard, and he might have many difficulties adapting to operating with us. If he can't hold on, let him leave."
Sang Luoluo nodded and smiled, saying, "It's not a loss for us either. Having another ability user in the team is a good thing, and once he grows up, he'll be even more helpful to us."
The two did not continue the discussion on this topic. Qi Feng began to take out his wristwatch and study the abnormal behaviors of other mutated plants and animals that other teams at the base had sent him, which were filmed deep in the dense forest.
There are many mutated plants and animals, and their population distribution changed drastically after a rain. He was analyzing this data to develop some operational plans in advance, in preparation for their entry into the depths.
