Although there is very little soil, it does not prevent many mutated plants from growing here. Some mutated mosses that grow near the water are also edible.
Continuing to descend several thousand meters deeper, Chang Mingyao successfully spotted the mutated pumpkins. Each fruit was as large as a boulder, and some had even filled the cave completely.
They blocked the road ahead.
He personally conducted an inspection and found that not only the fruit and leaves, but also the soil had low radiation levels.
Chang Mingyao was extremely excited. "Let's start collecting now. Sang Luoluo, you collect these fruits first, and also keep some as samples. Be careful not to damage the vines. These vines can regenerate, and we can harvest them again next year at this time."
" Sang Ping, while you're picking the fruit, could you estimate the area here? If it's large enough, we could definitely establish a planting base here."
Sang Ping happily agreed.
Chang Mingyao quickly got the people to work. The tools were readily available; they had knives and Crystal Core. They worked in pairs and started working.
Even Chang Mingyao himself joined the work, cutting the mutated pumpkins off the vines. In addition, he didn't forget the leaves, as they were also edible.
Setting it aside, Sang Luoluo could easily collect it using her Mental Power.
Sang Luoluo and the others weren't idle either. Qi Feng and He Fei each grabbed a Crystal Core chainsaw and started working.
Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to control the Crystal Core chainsaw and began to work.
Fortunately, I had stored several Crystal Core chainsaws in my space during previous missions in the wild. They were originally used for sawing wood, but now they were also good for harvesting mutated pumpkins. I shared some with the others, and everyone worked together enthusiastically.
Once you start this work, you can't stop.
Everyone put in their best effort.
They worked until late into the night, Chang Mingyao suggested they take a break and have something to eat.
Everyone then stopped, and Sang Luoluo also stored the collected mutated pumpkins and leaves into her spatial storage.
Sang Luoluo over to Chang Mingyao and said, "The storage space is full. With the supplies we already had, there's no room left. We need to go back to base."
Chang Mingyao had also been worried about this issue.
Considering the current situation and the time constraints, he said, "Go back now. After you drop off your things, come back immediately. The supplies here can't wait. I'll send some people back with you, just in case anything unexpected happens on the way."
Sang Luoluo refused. "I can take Qi Feng and He Fei back together. If we encounter any special circumstances, it will be easier to handle if we have fewer people."
Chang Mingyao thought for a moment and then readily agreed, "That's fine. Wait a moment while I record a video, and you can take it back to Chief Sang to hand it over."
"No problem."
Chang Mingyao then went to record a video, recounting all the troubles he encountered after coming out, as well as the progress of collecting supplies, etc.
"Go ahead, this watch is a spare; Chief Sang knows the password."
Sang Luoluo nodded and led Qi Feng and He Fei toward the exit.
The others were still resting here. Sang Luoluo left the Crystal Core chainsaw behind, and they would continue harvesting the mutated pumpkins as soon as it was light.
Qi Feng led the way, with lighting equipment provided. To make it easier to walk, Sang Luoluo lifted her toes off the ground and floated to keep up.
They had originally parked the aircraft at the base, but now they would have to spend a little more time walking there.
However, in the middle of the night, as they moved through the snow, they were easily targeted by mutated animals.
They hadn't gone far when they were attacked by mutated wolves.
The other animals were probably starving, and they pounced on them in droves.
However, Sang Luoluo wasn't afraid at all; it wasn't like she hadn't seen this kind of scene before.
Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to set up the Crystal Core, aimed at the mutated wolves that were pouncing on her, and began firing.
Qi Feng didn't even need to use Crystal Core; he simply used his lightning ability to char the mutated wolves as they approached.
Sang Luoluo also collected the corpses of these mutated wolves.
The three of them quickly left the area.
The remaining mutated wolves, seeing the situation was not right, did not dare to approach further, but they did remember their scent.
Chapter 310: Arranging for those mutated fruits to grow, wouldn't that be effective...?
The guards there quickly spotted them and, upon recognizing them as their own people, promptly allowed them to board the aircraft.
After the aircraft started up, the temperature inside gradually rose, and the three of them immediately felt warmer.
Qi Feng said, "We need to stay vigilant along the way. I'll drive. He Fei, you keep watch. Sang Luoluo, if any mutated animals attack, we'll be counting on you."
Sang Luoluo readily accepted the arrangement. "Don't worry, leave it to me."
They were already exhausted after a day's work, but the joy of discovering food made them all excited, and they were willing to endure a little longer.
The aircraft shot off in a flash. Qi Feng's piloting skills were excellent, so Sang Luoluo didn't need to worry at all.
Sang Luoluo's mental energy remained scattered, constantly alert to any mutated birds approaching.
Fortunately, they encountered no major setbacks along the way. When they encountered mutated birds, Qi Feng sped up, and Sang Luoluo also used her mental power to deal with a few of them, successfully reaching the base.
Before entering the base, Sang Luoluo had already informed Sang Tong about the discovery of mutated pumpkins at one of their outposts, hoping he could quickly arrange a place to unload the cargo.
Sang Tong was very efficient, waking people up overnight to arrange the warehouse. After Sang Luoluo at the base, she was taken directly to the warehouse, with Sang Tong accompanying her the whole time.
Upon seeing the warehouse full of mutated pumpkins, so large and faintly emitting a Qingtian aroma, and the countless mutated pumpkin leaves, which were also edible.
In the spirit of avoiding waste and keeping the food in its best edible condition, Sang Tong immediately arranged for his subordinates to work overtime overnight to process all the food. No one knew how long this mutated food would last; what if it started to rot by tomorrow?
We can only keep a very small sample for the lab to study.
Sang Luoluo quickly handed Chang Mingyao's wristwatch to him. "This contains a video recorded by Base Chief Chang. Take a look and see if you have any instructions. We'll be heading back in a little while."
Sang Tong nodded. "Go back and rest for a while. You've had a long day, so don't get too tired. The wilderness is too dangerous. You need to maintain your energy for battle at all times, and don't be careless. I'll let you know as soon as possible."
Sang Luoluo nodded; this was a good opportunity to go home.
Sang Luoluo took Qi Feng He Fei home in the flying vehicle.
Qi Xue and Lei Qi were still awake. There were mutated rats appearing in the base, so those at home were divided into two shifts, taking turns day and night.
Sang Yunpu still went to and from the hospital during the day to do things for the base, very regularly.
"Why are you back so late at night! Did things go well?" Qi Xue came out to greet them, overjoyed to see them return.
Qi Feng nodded. "Everything is fine."
It didn't mention that they were attacked in the wild.
Seeing this, Sang Luoluo didn't say anything more, and said, "We've just come back to rest for a while, and we'll be leaving soon."
Qi Xue was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. "Oh, why are you leaving so soon! Aren't you going to get some rest?"
Sang Luoluo sighed helplessly, "There's still a lot of work to do. I won't be back for another two days."
Qi Xue listened with some concern. "Should I go along too? More people can help."
Lei Qi, hearing the commotion, ran over. "A mission? I'm going too! I haven't been out and about in ages, Boss Sang, please take me this time! I'll definitely do my job well. There aren't many mutated rats here, so Xiao Li and Li Jiu can stay behind."
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng exchanged a glance, thinking about the many mutated pumpkins in the cave and the attack they had encountered this time.
It's good to bring two more people.
Sang Luoluo said, "Then let's pack up and go together."
After saying that, Sang Luoluo went to the living room with Qi Feng and the others to rest, and fell asleep on the sofa.
They had been asleep for about half an hour when the outside beeped. It was a message from Base Commander Sang Tong, reminding them that it was time to depart.
Sang Luoluo quickly got up and boarded the aircraft with Qi Feng and the others.
Qi Xue, having donned her protective armor, tossed her hair and said, "I've already arranged for Xiao Li and Li Jiu to take turns watching over the villa. They won't let the mutated rats get in. Oh, before you left, we installed automatic identification surveillance. That thing is quite effective; it automatically attacks any mutated rats that don't get close. Lei Qi and I only come out to check at night; we don't really have to do much."
Sang Luoluo: "That's good."
Thinking about the mission, Sang Luoluo continued, "This mission might be a bit dangerous. When we went out, we encountered an attack from another base, and they looted our supplies. We were lucky this time; we found mutated pumpkins in a cave, and we're heading out to harvest them."
After reuniting with Base Commander Sang Tong, Base Commander Sang Tong dispatched more than 30 aircraft to set off together with them.
On the one hand, it was to protect Sang Luoluo; on the other hand, the 30 aircraft could also bring back some supplies.
