As Long as He Could Get a Bite to Eat, He Wanted Delicious, Radiation-Free Food Every Day...
Qi Xue asked, " Luoluo, why are you suddenly interested in these things?"
Sang Luoluo didn't intend to hide anything from them, saying, "Last night, I picked a few fruits from the nearby vines, ate half of them, and found that they were very helpful to my Mental Power. I suddenly realized that not all of these mutated plants outside are radiation-based; some mutated varieties are actually quite effective in enhancing abilities. You see, these are the fruits. I plan to take the remaining two back to the lab to see if they have any value."
Qi Xue said, "The base has published information on the edible species. There are some special mutated plants like the one you mentioned, but there are so many now. If you encounter one, you might only find one, and you probably won't see it again. Besides, the wild environment changes extremely quickly. What you see now might disappear in half a month."
Sang Luoluo: "Huh? Disappeared? I should have transplanted it."
"Next time you encounter something like this, leave at least a branch or leaf. When you're killing mutated animals, please also check if there are any wild fruits nearby."
Sang Luoluo suddenly remembered the mutated wild orchid in the space. It had already gained consciousness, and it could even recognize her every time she approached. Sang Mei had another one, and she also had a hydroponic one in her villa. However, she could sense that the mutated wild orchid in the space was still changing and was completely different from the ones outside.
This must be what Qi Xue meant when she said that there is only one special mutated plant, and if you miss it, it may disappear.
They were now walking in the dense forest. Sang Luoluo didn't really have to deal with the mutated animals that appeared here; Qi Feng and the others had already taken care of them. She only needed to follow along, collect the corpses, and mark the locations of nearby Crystal Core.
Everyone started working enthusiastically.
By noon, they had left the area and suddenly found themselves on a cliff with a huge pit below, leading to a deep ravine. On the other side was a range of mountains covered in lush greenery, so they could only make out the shape of the mountains, not what was inside.
This is what Qi Feng meant when he said they had arrived in the mountains, where they could see mutated birds circling in the sky from afar. Some of them were unfamiliar, while others were very familiar.
Qi Feng said, "Let's go, we can rest across the street tonight."
Sang Luoluo had a way. She put them all into her space, lifted her toes off the ground, and flew over. Once she landed on a stable rock, she released them.
Li Jiu was astonished as soon as he came out. "That's amazing! It was very dark and scary inside, but your space can still hold people. Boss Sang, you're really incredible!"
Sang Luoluo smiled, pointed to the deep ditch below, and said, "Look down there, there are some mutated animals. They crawl very fast, and there are some caves down there too."
Sang Luoluo could even sense that huge mutated lizards, mutated reptiles, hard-shelled insects, and multi-legged centipedes lived inside the cliff.
The sheer variety is overwhelming.
"Should we deal with these mutated animals?" Lei Qi asked. Seeing these things gave him a chill, but the thought that this was their job made him feel less afraid.
Qi Feng said, "The competition ends in two days. Killing these things will also add points. Moreover, these things breed too much here, making it difficult for ordinary people to set foot here."
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo sighed and said, "I just sensed that there are quite a few Crystal Core down there. Let's all work hard for Crystal Core!"
Sang Luoluo had already flown into the air, setting up her Crystal Core and firing at the exposed mutated animals. With ample firepower, Sang Luoluo also used her Mental Power to pull the slain corpses into her spatial dimension. She also collected the Crystal Core she had found while passing by the mutated animal's nest.
The Crystal Core cores here have abundant energy, and she feels very comfortable.
Sang Luoluo's suspension in mid-air quickly attracted the attention of mutated birds in the distance, which screech and pounced on them. Qi Feng, keeping an eye on the surroundings, fired at the sky as the mutated birds approached. The power of the Crystal Core was immense, and the mutated birds' corpses fell to the ground, Sang Luoluo easily stored in her spatial storage.
After clearing this area, there were still some mutated insects in their nests deep in the crevices of the rocks, which Sang Luoluo couldn't reach with her Mental Power.
Chuanchuan ran ahead, Sang Luoluo was careful not to let Chuanchuan get too far away from her, sensing several energy fluctuations.
Sang Luoluo suddenly called out to everyone.
He said, "I detected several energy fluctuations; if I'm not mistaken, they might be the Meteorite Crystal Core."
Sang Luoluo was somewhat excited. If she could find these giant Crystal Core and absorb them, her Mental Power could be raised to another level.
Qi Feng, holding the testing tools, knew that Sang Luoluo needed a lot of Crystal Core, so he started searching in this area, whispering, "There's energy fluctuation in that direction. Everyone, be on high alert; there are mutated birds everywhere here."
Qi Feng walked in front, with Sang Luoluo behind, and they began to walk into the mountains.
The mountain path here was very uneven. As we started climbing, we suddenly entered a patch of unknown wildflowers, somewhat like wild daisies, but with a foul stench. Everyone had to wear their masks and dared not make the slightest mistake, as there were toxins in the air.
As they ventured deeper, around 3 PM, they finally reached the vicinity of the energy source, in a pile of rocks. The surrounding area was barren, devoid of any living creatures. Qi Feng felt somewhat unwell, and the others reacted strongly as well.
"No, we can't go any further. We can only stay here and cover you. Go on your way."
Sang Luoluo nodded, her toes leaving the ground as she flew directly in that direction. The moment she touched the giant Crystal Core, she was pulled into space, feeling a jolt in her mind as she suddenly sensed danger.
Two mutated birds swooped down from above, appearing out of nowhere.
Fortunately, she didn't need to deal with it; Qi Feng and his men had already killed the two mutated birds.
Sang Luoluo casually put the mutated bird's corpse into her spatial storage before returning.
Sang Luoluo: "Done. That's it for today. Tomorrow we'll look for other Crystal Core. We might have to stay here for a while after the competition ends, so let's find the giant Crystal Core first."
The open space was perfect for resting. Sang Luoluo took out the armored vehicle and piled up a dozen giant logs next to it. This way, even if the mutated birds spotted their vehicle, they wouldn't be able to pry it off immediately, giving them some time to react.
Everyone boarded the vehicle one after another, cleaned their protective suits (but didn't take them off), as they still needed to be ready to respond to emergencies at any time.
Chapter 249 As long as he could eat, he wanted to eat delicious food every day...
Qi Feng suddenly had a new idea. He called Li Jiu out and asked him to spread some plant pheromones outside the armored vehicle, specifically those smelly, insect-resistant mutated plants.
Li Jiu was quite adept at this; he applied the generated pheromones to the car, which proved somewhat effective.
Sang Luoluo brought out a bunch of canned food, letting everyone eat and drink their fill, leaving two people to keep watch at night while the others got some rest.
Everyone was asleep before it even got dark.
There was some noise at night, but Qi Xue and her companion had already taken care of it. The armored vehicle itself had defensive capabilities and carried Crystal Core. As long as they were detected in time, dealing with those mutated animals that came to cause trouble was quite easy.
Moreover, since the mutated plants on the mountain aren't so rampant here, and the open space means there won't be any vines tangling around their car, making things relatively easier.
When Sang Luoluo got up in the morning, it was just dawn. She took out a bunch of food and distributed it to everyone. Of course, for a new day, Sang Luoluo planned to give everyone something extra delicious, so she gave each person a peach.
I got off the bus only after I was ready.
Qi Feng followed the radiation energy, leading the way, with Sang Luoluo close behind. They were on high alert for the mutated animals that suddenly appeared around them, as well as the mutated birds in the air. These were all great threats, as they were very fast and powerful.
If it weren't for their perfect teamwork, which made them accustomed to such attacks, it would be difficult for them to survive here.
What made Sang Luoluo even happier was that she found some bird nests here, and many of the bird eggs inside were edible, radioactive food.
It's possible that the dense forest here blocked most of the radiation, and the bird eggs were hidden in the nest, shielding them from several layers of radiation, thus preventing them from being contaminated. Of course, once the chicks hatch, they will soon become highly radioactive animals.
Sang Luoluo casually put the edible, low-to-medium radiation bird eggs into her spatial storage and took them with her.
It's still food, at least in some way.
There were quite a few wild fruits on the mountain, several of which Sang Luoluo didn't know the names of. But she couldn't resist the fact that they were hanging on the branches, looking either bright red or yellow and perfectly ripe. Sang Luoluo simply picked up the low-to-medium radiation fruits and took them back to study. If they were edible, she could even cultivate them for planting.
Around 11 a. m., Sang Luoluo finally arrived at the location of the next Meteorite Crystal Core. This Meteorite Crystal Core was in a low-lying area, surrounded by dense trees, with most of it sunken in the soil. There was also water flowing below, but the water had long been polluted and was completely unusable.
Qi Feng noticed that the situation below was somewhat complicated, and no one could guarantee that there might be some dangerous mutated animals lurking among those trees.
" Sang Luoluo, I'll go down with you. I'm worried about you going down alone."
Sang Luoluo nodded; she believed in Qi Feng's abilities.
Qi Feng then arranged for Lei Qi, He Fei, and Qi Xue to occupy several high points. Li Jiu provided them with some pheromones, which had a pungent plant smell and were not liked by the mutated animals.
