A Huge Haul of Crystal Cores-How Did She Do It?

Everyone sat around the dining table and began to eat.

Sang Yunpu specially steamed buns, served millet porridge, a table full of stir-fried dishes, and a large pot of stew.

Everyone was so engrossed in the food that they were practically in a daze.

Sang Luoluo couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "Brother, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

Sang Yunpu smiled sheepishly, "Your sister-in-law helped too."

As soon as Xiao Li got home, he went to check the vegetable greenhouse in his yard. "I tested all the vegetables in the greenhouse. The radiation protection is very good, the radiation levels haven't changed much, and I also watered them with some mineral water."

Lei Qi said, "I helped too. In a few more days, this batch of vegetables will be ready to be harvested."

Their yard is quite large. When Qi Feng and his team designed the greenhouse, they had already considered the issue of utilization rate, and there are quite a lot of vegetables and fruits inside.

"Of course, having grown it once before, we have experience, and now everyone can take turns looking after the greenhouse."

Sang Luoluo remembered she had something to do. "Tonight, Qi Feng will accompany me out. We brought back quite a few mutated animal carcasses this time, and there were quite a few Crystal Core inside. We need to find the people at the base to deal with them as soon as possible."

Qi Feng immediately agreed, "Okay."

When evening came, Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng left on time. Qi Feng had even contacted Chang Mingyao's assistant in advance to arrange for a warehouse.

They were all people I'd worked with many times before, so the assistant immediately made arrangements, telling them to just go directly over.

Sang Luoluo on the ground and took out all the corpses of the mutated animals and some of the mutated birds from the space. Although there weren't as many as before, there were still quite a few this time. The corpses were larger than before, and many parts could be used. Among them were also some low-radiation mutated animal corpses.

Those that are picked out are edible.

The assistant quickly arranged for someone to do it.

He said considerately, "Miss Sang, I'll have someone dispose of these mutated animal carcasses as soon as possible, and I can deliver the Crystal Core to you in the next day or two."

Sang Luoluo nodded.

Of course I believe you.

After finishing their business, the two didn't linger outside and hurried back.

Chapter 331 How was a large quantity of Crystal Core achieved?

I rested well at home for three days.

Three days later, both Base Commander Chang Mingyao and Base Commander Sang Tong sent a mission message.

She was told to prepare in advance, as she was going on a long trip to retrieve the Crystal Core.

Sang Luoluo asked Xiao Li and Li Jiu to stay at home and look after the villa. The exact time of this mission was uncertain, and the only information given by the two base leaders was that the location was quite far away and the return date was uncertain.

The two base commanders told the people going to prepare in advance and get some rest.

Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng took stock of the equipment they would need for the trip. Everything was in their storage space, and they had even considered unforeseen circumstances. Qi Feng had even prepared several plans.

When they met up with the others, Sang Luoluo and the others were fully armed. It was just getting dark, and when it got light, the temperature outside would be terrifyingly high. They would have to stay in the wild for a while.

At the base entrance, Chang Mingyao was going with them this time. Sang Ping was leading a small Guard, including several Evolver.

On Sang Luoluo's side, the staff are all used to working together, and with Sang Yunpu providing treatment, they are well-prepared.

When he Li Cheng, he only took Wang Jian with him.

Sang Luoluo asked, "Is the location of this mission very far away?"

Chang Mingyao nodded. "It's far from the base. According to Li Cheng, it's in an area with dense Crystal Core, but the terrain is complex, and aircraft can't get in. There are many strange and mutated animals there."

Sang Luoluo asked in confusion, "How could it be so far?"

Chang Mingyao explained, "I also asked Li Cheng about this. They only recently moved to the vicinity of our base. Before that, they were always in a state of flux, their location was uncertain."

No wonder.

With Sang Ping's call to set off, everyone boarded the two aircraft one after another. The aircraft were small targets, mainly for long-distance travel. Too many aircraft would be too conspicuous and easily attract the attention of other bases. Moreover, it was unknown how many Crystal Core they could find this time, so they decided to wait and see.

If all else fails, the base can send more personnel to provide support.

Sang Luoluo stored the necessary supplies into the space. Just to be on the safe side, everyone carried a bag containing emergency supplies and nutritional fluids, in case they got separated and could sustain themselves for a while while waiting for rescue.

The aircraft started up, Sang Luoluo then asked, "What should we do with the Crystal Core we found this time? Should we bring them back directly, or should we just add them to the Farm App?"

Chang Mingyao saw no need to hide anything from them. "Just top up directly. There's Sang Tong Tongji's watch in the box, as well as mine, and then there's yours. For safety's sake, only top up the watches of the three of us."

Sang Luoluo nodded. "Okay."

The aircraft was moving slowly in the night sky. Li Cheng had given the approximate location of its destination, but he wasn't entirely sure of the exact location, since he himself had easily gotten lost in that area when he was searching for the Crystal Core.

The distance to the base was extremely far, and the aircraft flew for an entire night, encountering several waves of mutated birds along the way, all of which were dealt with by Sang Luoluo. By morning, they were already very close to their destination.

Looking down from the aircraft, Li Cheng recognized a familiar place. "It's around here."

Chang Mingyao ordered the aircraft to slow down.

After searching below, Li Cheng said, "Let's go a little further ahead and stop. I think this is where I found the Crystal Core last time. I didn't go any deeper."

"This is a valley with complex terrain, rugged and uneven everywhere. Many Crystal Core are covered by mutated vines, or buried in the soil, or even inside tree trunks. The mutated plants in this area grow very lushly, and there are also many mutated animals. Once you enter, it's like a maze."

Chang Mingyao ordered, "Stop right ahead. The sun is out. Let's get out and walk. The woods will provide some shade and reduce radiation."

The aircraft slowly flew over, and once it reached a suitable altitude, it opened the hatch, allowing everyone to disembark.

Chang Mingyao glanced at Sang Luoluo.

Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to lead everyone down slowly.

Meanwhile, I stored both aircraft in my spatial storage.

That's why only two aircraft were brought out – it was for convenience.

Upon arriving in this area, Sang Luoluo unleashed her Mental Power.

Almost simultaneously, her Mental Power detected the existence of the Crystal Core.

As discussed by the higher-ups before the trip, Sang Luoluo herself also needed to absorb a large number of Crystal Core, so she could keep 20% of them herself when she went out to find Crystal Core.

Both base commanders agreed on this point. After all, Sang Luoluo's abilities were truly unique, and if her abilities were enhanced, the benefits would outweigh the drawbacks for the base.

Sang Luoluo landed them safely.

He spoke calmly, "I have discovered the Crystal Core."

Li Cheng looked bewildered. "No... how did they find it? Where is it? Why didn't my detector detect it?"

Sang Luoluo took a few steps forward and used her Mental Power to pull the Crystal Core out of the ground.

A blue, palm-sized Crystal Core, gleaming with a bluish luster, appeared before everyone. Sang Luoluo didn't pull the Crystal Core too close; it was radioactive, so for safety reasons, she put it into her spatial storage first.

"I'll store it in my inventory first, and then top it up when I'm resting."

Chang Mingyao had no objections.

Qi Feng and Sang Ping determined the direction, and then kept using the radiation detector in their hands.

"Beep beep beep, radiation level 1324."

"Beep beep beep, radiation level 1422."

Sang Ping walked the machine around, then pointed in a direction. "The radiation level is high in this direction, go this way."

Sang Luoluo walked ahead. She was in excellent physical condition and wasn't afraid of the radiation, just like she had been at Base 71. Qi Feng and the others knew her, but Chang Mingyao and the others didn't know her very well.

Ignoring Li Cheng's surprised gaze again, Sang Luoluo briefly explained her special characteristics.

As they walked, suddenly some mutated plants moved. Not wanting to cause any trouble, Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to envelop everyone.

The constantly moving mutated vines seemed to have hit a wall, slowly sliding along the mental barrier that Sang Luoluo had created.

Li Cheng and Wang Jian were utterly stunned. "You can do that? How did you do it? Aren't you a space-type Evolver?"

Sang Luoluo said calmly, "I'm still a psychic."

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you, my ability is a bit special."

Li Cheng muttered, "This is outrageous! Some are dying of drought, while others are drowning in floods."

Everyone just laughed it off.

Seeing that the mutated vines around her had returned to normal, Sang Luoluo stretched out her Mental Power to probe the surroundings and found traces of the Crystal Core again within a range of more than 10,000 meters.

Sang Ping pointed in the right direction, but Sang Luoluo could give the precise distance.

"There's a large Crystal Core at about six kilometers."

It was about the height of a five-year-old child, pure white, half of it buried in the soil, and completely covered by mutated vines.

To facilitate movement, Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to form a barrier to protect everyone from the invasion of mutated plants.

Most mutated vines move slowly, but some move quickly, such as the thorny ones, which can kill silently.

Everyone wore heavy protective gear, fearing they might inhale pollen from some toxic mutant plant.

Qi Feng said, "Sang Luoluo, conserve your Mental Power. Leave the mutated animals that have appeared to us."

Sang Luoluo nodded, focusing on protecting everyone as they moved forward.

The path beneath her feet was covered with mutated wild grass, the ground was uneven and bumpy, and there were sudden slopes. Sang Luoluo had to use her Mental Power to levitate herself, moving forward a dozen centimeters off the ground, otherwise falling would easily distract her.
