After walking for about 300 meters, Qi Feng found another suitable spot.
Sang Luoluo scattered two handfuls of peanuts.
The two then hid at a distance and waited quietly.
Mutant rats have appeared.
But then, mutated wolves appeared.
A pack of mutated wolves.
Having been starved for many days, its eyes glowed a ghostly green as it stared intently at the dark mass of mutated rats on the ground before pouncing straight towards them.
The mutated wolf, with its keen sense of smell, quickly spotted Sang Luoluo Sang Luoluo Qi Feng. Its eerie green eyes were fixed on the two humans, plotting how to devour them.
Just as they were about to take action, a dozen or so mutated birds suddenly swooped down from the sky.
Even the mutated wolves have to be taken seriously.
Fortunately, they were a group and large in size, so when the mutated bird attacked, the two sides fought each other.
Some mutated wolves had their eyes pecked out, and some mutated birds had their necks bitten off by two mutated wolves working together.
Both sides suffered casualties.
Qi Feng whispered, "Don't make a move yet, let's observe for a while longer."
Soon, more mutated birds flew in from the sky and joined the battle.
Seeing that something was wrong, the mutated wolf reluctantly retreated.
As they left, two mutated wolves glanced in their direction.
Sang Luoluo strong Mental Power and noticed it immediately.
They exclaimed in surprise, "They've spotted us!"
Qi Feng pressed down on her arm. "Don't worry about it for now. It's obvious that the mutated birds here are the main attraction. Those mutated wolves won't dare to fight them head-on."
"Let's get started."
The two divided the work: one was responsible for using Mental Power to pull the problem into the space, while the other sniped from a distance.
They were very efficient, but soon a mutated bird discovered their location, felt provoked, and pounced on them.
It disappeared before it could even get a certain distance away.
The mutated birds that followed seemed somewhat bewildered, clearly encountering this situation for the first time.
Just as he was wondering where his companion had gone, he was unexpectedly shot in the head and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
The death of the mutated bird attracted mutated rats and other creatures hiding underground. These creatures, which had been starving for a long time, sensed the presence of living beings above them and, seeing no threat, even pounced directly on the two.
As long as we eat those two, getting through this winter won't be a problem.
Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng weren't afraid, mainly because Sang Luoluo could use her Mental Power to transfer these mutated rats into her spatial dimension in time, where Chuanchuan was also there to help.
Seeing that the Crystal Core was no longer useful, Qi Feng directly used his lightning ability to shock the mutated animals when they approached.
The results were amazing.
The air was filled with the smell of burning.
They only stopped fighting when they had almost used up their energy, and Sang Luoluo pulled Qi Feng into the space.
The mutated animals trapped in the space had already been dealt with, so Sang Luoluo stopped worrying about them.
In the pitch-black space, there was a table lamp, a table, and a tent. The two of them rested here for the night to recharge before going out again tomorrow.
Sang Luoluo took out the leftovers from breakfast and added a few cans of meat.
I've been busy outside the whole time and haven't had time for lunch.
Both of them were starving, and after wolfing down their food, they finally let out a satisfied burp.
Qi Feng looked around at the pitch-black space that stretched as far as the eye could see. Chuanchuan stayed beside them, eating from its own bowl, wagging its tail happily.
Qi Feng suddenly asked, "Where are the corpses of those mutated animals? I can't smell any blood here."
Sang Luoluo paused for a moment, then casually said, "It's far from here; we can't exactly rest while smelling that."
Qi Feng didn't press Sang Luoluo for details about the supplies. He respected that Sang Luoluo had her own secrets and wouldn't reveal them, so he didn't ask further.
But there was one thing he really wanted to know, so after hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "Um... could I see how the mutated black bear is raised?"
Sang Luoluo agreed without hesitation; she had just finished eating and wanted to take a walk to digest.
"Come with me."
Qi Feng followed after hearing this, but it was pitch black all the way, and he could see nothing except for the light in front of him.
Sang Luoluo led him a long way until they finally reached the location of the mutated black bear. From a distance, they could hear the mutated black bear making noise; it was eating something, and it was making a crunching sound as it chewed on it.
He quickly recognized what it was: the bones of a mutated bird.
There was also a large basin of mineral water next to it.
He was about to go forward for a closer look when he realized the darkness was making him uncomfortable. The mutated black bear in the distance was also having some trouble adjusting to the darkness; he had just seen, with the help of the light, that the mutated black bear had poked one of the mutated bird's toes into its nose.
Unfortunately, he bumped into an inexplicable membrane, and he couldn't budge it in the slightest.
He knew that this must be the cage Sang Luoluo had made for it.
No wonder the mutated black bear not far away only raised its eyelids to glance at the two of them before lowering its gaze to continue eating.
The Chuanchuan were allowed inside. After running around it twice, it drank some water from its food bowl and then happily ran out again.
Qi Feng asked curiously, "You feed it the corpses of these mutated animals every day?"
Sang Luoluo nodded. "Yes. Also, give it two basins of mineral water every day. You know the mineral water produced by the Farm App has amazing effects; its radiation levels have decreased now."
Qi Feng continued, "It has such a good temper now, how did you train it at the beginning?"
Sang Luoluo recalled, "At first, it had a bad temper. If it misbehaved, I would hit it. After hitting it, I would give it a bowl of mineral water and food. It liked the mineral water very much. Gradually, it got used to me feeding it. Maybe it was afraid of being beaten by me and Chuanchuan. When the two of us stood in front of it, it didn't resist."
Qi Feng listened attentively, thinking it was indeed a good idea.
After feeding it more mutated animal carcasses, the mutated black bear finally ate its fill, then went to the black water to sleep.
"Let's go, let's go back and rest too," Sang Luoluo said.
Back at their original spot, the two quickly washed up and went to rest.
They both had great ambitions; they wanted to eliminate all the mutated birds in the vicinity. To kill even more mutated birds, they needed to maintain sufficient stamina.
The next morning, after breakfast, the two adjusted their state and immediately left the space.
The mutated animals that had gathered yesterday were gone; they continued onward.
Sang Luoluo traveled along, collecting Crystal Core from the ground. When she found a suitable spot, she would set traps to kill some mutated animals. The mutated birds she attracted were also killed.
Fortunately, they managed to recover the wreckage of the two previously crashed aircraft.
I rested in the space again that night.
The temperature inside was comfortable, so it wasn't much different from living at home.
For the next four days, they traveled along the planned route. However, Qi Feng suddenly discovered that the detector had detected a large number of moving red dots.
They quickly grabbed Sang Luoluo and hid.
"A flock of mutated birds?" Sang Luoluo released her Mental Power. The distance was a bit far; she could only see their tails.
Qi Feng said, "Its movement speed is faster than that of ordinary mutated animals. Let's follow it and see."
The two followed him for a long time.
They finally found a place, and from afar they could see many mutated birds living there. Most of them perched in the trees, while some circled in the air, patrolling their territory or foraging for food.
Some branches even have bird nests.
The enormous bird's nest, though rather rough in appearance, was perfectly adequate for the mutated bird.
A constant, harsh chirping sound filled the air; these mutated birds were unusually active.
"So many... so many Crystal Core."
Sang Luoluo murmured. Even from a distance, her Mental Power could already sense the glittering Crystal Core inside their bodies. These mutated birds truly lived up to their reputation as predators at the top of the food chain; they had a whole bunch of Crystal Core of various sizes inside their bodies.
Qi Feng said, "Let's plan this out and see how to proceed. We can't act rashly; it would be a pity if we alerted them and they flew away."
At the speed of the mutated bird, they simply couldn't catch up.
"These mutated birds are very alert. We need to figure out a way to prevent them from spotting the two of us, and then take them down little by little."
"Using Crystal Core is too obvious, and lightning will also give off a burnt smell. It's better if you use your Mental Power and spatial manipulation to do it quietly. I'll assist you from the side."
Sang Luoluo agreed to the plan, then suddenly thought, "You said I have a lot of mutated animal carcasses here, especially a lot of mutated rats. What do you think? I could throw out the mutated rat carcasses to attract them, and then catch them all in one go?"
Qi Feng surveyed the surroundings and finally chose a spot. "There are many trees there, greatly obstructing the view, so not many mutated birds will come over, making it easier to make a move."
The two slowly moved there. Along the way, Sang Luoluo did not forget to use her Mental Power to cover herself and Qi Feng to avoid making noise and disturbing the mutated birds. She also added snow around them to block their view. The two hid in a recess in a tree trunk. After choosing a spot, they used their Mental Power to shovel a layer of snow around them, enveloping them in a small space.
A hole was punched in the shoulder area so that Qi Feng could see outside.
