Qi Feng said, "Received. Remain vigilant."
Sang Luoluo: "If we encounter any mutated birds attacking on the way, I want to test my current Mental Power attack. Everyone just needs to support me."
Once they left the base and reached the area of dense forest in the wild, they could see a lush green expanse below through the airplane window. Although they had just cleared the area not long ago, the forest was still home to a large number of mutated animals that reproduced extremely quickly and had a particularly strong ability to adapt.
They could vaguely see the silhouettes of some mutated birds, flitting through the dense forest; some had even set their sights on their plane.
However, after flying in this area for 10 minutes, flocks of mutated birds flew over.
The plane immediately sounded an alarm; the Crystal Core outside were ready to fire at any moment.
Qi Xue and her team have also entered a state of preparation.
As the mutated birds approached Sang Luoluo's perception range, Sang Luoluo discovered that her control over her Mental Power was now much more precise. She could clearly perceive every flap of their wings. When they were about 50 meters away, Sang Luoluo's breath caught in her throat. The moment they entered the range of her Mental Power control, she pulled them into her spatial dimension.
No one else needs to intervene.
They used Crystal Core to eliminate the mutated birds in space.
Qi Xue exclaimed in amazement, " Luoluo, you're really amazing now! We don't even need to lift a finger."
Sang Luoluo smiled and said, "It's good that you guys are taking action and I've pulled you into my space. At least I've gained a corpse; it would be a shame to lose it."
Chapter 254 Arrival at the Base, Commander, it's been a long time.
At this point, Sang Luoluo suddenly remembered something; she said she felt like she had forgotten something these past few days.
"Oh dear, I forgot to invite Li Jiu along."
Everyone was taken aback, then remembered that they had been so focused on Sang Luoluo's unconsciousness and her entry into the base's upper echelons these past few days that they had forgotten about this person.
Qi Feng said in a low voice, "This mission is not suitable for him. Everyone in our team has undergone rigorous training by the Guard. You haven't been trained, but your mental strength can ensure that you can levitate in the air, at least for a short time, so you won't be in any immediate danger. Li Jiu hasn't undergone systematic training, and it's very dangerous for him to come along rashly. If an emergency occurs, we may not be able to spare the energy to protect him."
Qi Xue thought the same way, saying, "Let's skip this mission. I think since Li Jiu wants to join us, he needs to hurry up and train. Last time he went into the depths of the dense forest with us, many of his shortcomings were exposed. Although he learned a lot with the previous team, it's still far from enough."
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo said, "Then he must still be waiting for my news. How about this, I'll ask Sang Jia if he needs anyone, and let Li Jiu go and train with him first. Sang Jia has been in the base's Guard since he was a child, so he's most familiar with these kinds of training."
Qi Feng said, "That's for the best."
Sang Luoluo immediately sent a private message to Sang Jia, explaining Li Jiu's situation and asking if he could arrange some training there.
Sang Jia replied shortly afterward; it was no big deal.
Seeing that Sang Jia had agreed, Sang Luoluo quickly sent a private message to Li Jiu.
[I've found you a training place. You'll train with Sang Jia for the time being. I'll pay you according to the number of days you train. Train hard.]
Li Jiu had been waiting for news for many days, and was almost thinking that Sang Luoluo had forgotten about him, when he suddenly received a private message from Sang Luoluo. He was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. After reading the message...
Immediate reply: [Yes.]
The plane finally flew over the dense forest area. There were only a few mutated birds chasing after it, and they gave up the pursuit because they couldn't catch up with them.
The flight was smooth for two hours.
They arrived above the dense forest area under the jurisdiction of the neighboring base. This forest was teeming with mutated animals, unlike the forest area of their Base No. 32, which had been cleared. There were also a particularly large number of mutated birds here.
The alarms on the plane detected a huge cluster of red dots, densely packed, only a little over a kilometer away from their aircraft.
Lei Qi: "My God! This is terrifying."
Qi Feng whispered, assigning tasks. "Prepare for combat. Lei Qi, if anything unexpected happens, be ready to take over the aircraft."
Lei Qi: "Yes."
Sang Luoluo had already extended her senses, ready to capture any mutated birds that entered her mental energy range.
Seeing that Sang Luoluo had her eyes on the mutated birds, Qi Feng asked, "I'll slow down, and we'll all work together, trying to stay within 50 meters."
Sang Luoluo said, "We can hover or concentrate our efforts to deal with them. As long as the area doesn't exceed a few thousand meters, we can kill these mutated birds and then go down to collect their carcasses. The base didn't give us many Crystal Core, so we'll have to rely on ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Qi Feng focused his attention on controlling the aircraft.
Within a short time, flocks of mutated birds from the surrounding area flew over, and the plane hovered in mid-air, waiting for the mutated birds to attack from all directions.
Sang Luoluo was already prepared. All the Crystal Core on the plane were revealed and attacked the mutated animals flying in from all directions. Sang Luoluo was responsible for pulling the mutated birds that had dodged the first wave of Crystal Core attacks into the space to deal with them.
These mutated birds have thick skin and tough flesh; unless the Crystal Core hits a vital spot, it can't kill them at all, only severely injure them. Therefore, there are many mutated birds left for Sang Luoluo to deal with.
In this situation, she had no choice but to deploy more than twenty Crystal Core and launch Crystal Core attacks against the mutated birds flying in from all directions.
Because their firepower was so intense, large numbers of the mutated birds fell to the ground, but this did not stop the mutated birds behind them from continuing to pounce, their numbers so dense that it was terrifying.
Sang Luoluo was highly focused. This upgrade had made her mental power much stronger than before. While controlling the Crystal Core's attack, she could also use her mental power to pull the missed mutated birds into the space.
This whole ordeal resulted in the deaths of no fewer than ten thousand mutated birds.
Sang Luoluo's mental energy was somewhat depleted.
"Land now, my mental strength can't hold for much longer."
Upon hearing this, Qi Feng maneuvered the plane to land, opening the cabin door in a relatively open area nearby. The plane couldn't reach the ground because of the trees blocking its path.
Sang Luoluo had no choice but to use her mental power to pull everyone down from the hatch.
I then used my mental power to pull the plane into space.
Everyone landed safely on the ground.
During the landing, mutated birds flew down from the tree branches and attacked, but Qi Xue and He Fei dealt with them together.
" Luoluo, how are you?"
Sang Luoluo shook her head. "I'm fine, but my mental energy is quite depleted. I need to rest for a bit. Then we'll go collect the mutated bird carcasses."
After finding a spot with dense mutated vines, Sang Luoluo took out the armored vehicle, and everyone lined up to get in.
Sang Luoluo ate something and rested for a while, drank some Spirit Spring Water, held two handfuls of Crystal Core in her hand to absorb energy, and had two mutated wild orchid flowers in front of her.
The aftereffect of mental exhaustion is the urge to sleep and recover.
Before long, Sang Luoluo fell asleep leaning against the carriage.
Qi Feng led the others on guard, ready to deal with any mutated animals that approached.
After sleeping for four or five hours, Sang Luoluo woke up with a start, her spiritual senses detecting danger.
Perhaps due to the upgrade in her mental strength, she used to feel uneasy while sleeping, but now she only wakes up when her mental strength senses approaching danger. If there is no sufficient threat, she can adapt and will not suddenly wake up from her sleep.
"Something big is coming."
"Two mutated tigers."
She observed with her senses that the two large tigers must have smelled the lingering scent of humans in the surrounding area.
Sang Luoluo waited silently for the two large tigers to approach. The others rested for a while. Sang Luoluo woke up, and everyone ate some canned food to replenish their energy, ready to go out at any time.
Sang Luoluo was also eating a can of food.
The cooked meat they prepared themselves tasted delicious.
Sang Luoluo noticed that the two tigers outside had heard the commotion inside the car and were slowly approaching.
Sang Luoluo immediately came up with a good idea. She used her mental power to take out a piece of roasted meat from her spatial storage and placed it in mid-air not far from the car.
The two tigers immediately rushed over at top speed, both wanting to devour the delicious chunk of meat.
The moment they stepped into Sang Luoluo's mental control range, they vanished from their original spot.
Sang Luoluo used Crystal Core to deal with the two tigers in the space.
She wouldn't dare keep such a creature alive. The mutated black bear was alright; it wasn't very bright and could easily be led astray by predators. But the mutated tiger was fast, arrogant, and extremely ferocious. If things went wrong, it would be a real problem.
"Resolved."
Qi Feng said, "Get off the bus in fifteen minutes."
After everyone replenished their energy, they lined up to get off the bus. Sang Luoluo sensed the carcasses of the mutated birds she had killed nearby; they were clustered together on the ground, so Qi Feng and the others could keep watch.
Within a kilometer radius, Sang Luoluo used her mental strength to collect almost all the corpses of the fallen mutated birds, which contained a considerable number of Crystal Core.
It was already late, and flying was not safe, so we had to rest here for the night.
The mutated plants nearby were quite active, so Sang Luoluo suggested that they rest in the space that night.
