Considering that Sang Luoluo and Lei Qi had just escaped danger, Qi Feng found a safe place for them to rest and set up camp there for the night.
There were already tents and electric fences set up, so Sang Luoluo just took them out and had them secure them.
Sang Luoluo had been on edge all day and hadn't had a chance to eat anything, and now she was starving.
I ran into a corner inside the tent and secretly ate my meal. I didn't dare eat anything too strong-smelling, just the nutritious soup and stewed meat that my Sang Yunpu made. When I was starving, it tasted especially delicious.
The others also found places to rest and eat.
Hu Tian has a sharp eye; he can't resist delicious food. Seeing Lei Qi peeling peanuts, he went over and asked, "Where are you from?"
Lei Qi shooed him away. "Go away, go away, you're even eyeing my meager food."
Seeing that Lei Qi's condition had improved, Hu Tian said, "Brother Lei, can I have one to try? Just one."
Unable to resist his repeated pleas, Lei Qi reluctantly pulled out a small peanut for him.
Thinking that he couldn't refuse the other brothers, he gave each of them a peanut.
The moment the peanut entered their mouths, it was incredibly delicious. There are mutated peanuts in the wild, but the taste is completely different from what they are eating now.
" Lei Qi, where did you get this from?"
"Just tell me already, why are you hiding it?"
Lei Qi didn't want to cause trouble for Sang Luoluo, so he didn't say anything in the end. However, knowing that Sang Luoluo had also gotten these things from the black market, he only mentioned the word "black market."
The members of S17 Squad had all been to the black market. Sometimes, if they were lucky, they could get some good items from the wild and exchange them for points on the black market to redeem some scarce resources. However, their resources were always limited, so they didn't gain much from visiting the black market.
After Sang Luoluo finished eating and drank some Spirit Spring Water, she had just sat down to rest when Sang Yunpu called her via video.
Of course, since the signal came back on, the beeping sound from her watch has increased significantly, and she hasn't had a chance to check it yet.
Seeing that it was Sang Yunpu calling, Sang Luoluo answered the call.
Opposite is a picture of Sang Yunpu at home, with some parts placed around him, seemingly tinkering with something.
Sang Yunpu was relieved to see that Sang Luoluo was wearing the Guard uniform and resting in the tent without any injuries.
"I sent you so many messages, and you didn't reply to a single one."
Sang Luoluo knew she was in the wrong. "I just came out of an area with no signal. I was just eating and was thinking of calling you back later. You called me so soon, bro."
Sang Yunpu said, "I saw two Guard helicopters returning from outside the base, and I thought you had come back."
Sang Luoluo shook her head, "There's been a slight problem here, but I'm fine for now. I even cut down some trees; I'll bring them to you when I get back."
Sang Yunpu nodded, asked Sang Luoluo about other things, and even told her to Sang Luoluo and move around to make sure she wasn't injured before he relaxed and changed the subject.
After hanging up the phone, Sang Luoluo began to rest.
I was under a lot of stress during the day and didn't sleep well last night. After eating, I started to feel sleepy, so I found a corner, took out my pillow and blanket, and fell fast asleep.
Half of the S17 Squad members were on guard outside. This time, Qi Feng first asked Lei Qi Yan Lang what had happened on their side. After finding out, he dared not let his guard down. It had been six months since they last came to Zone 33C. In such a long time, the ecology of this area had changed drastically. No matter what, they had to be extremely careful.
Learning from Yan Lang Lang's experience, Qi Feng left half of his men to keep watch at night.
The few who remained were all elites in the team. Considering that Sang Luoluo's spatial storage could now hold people, he had a new plan for completing the mission and felt that everyone should have no problem returning alive this time.
Aside from a few mutated animals attacking and triggering the electric fence during the night, nothing else happened. They set off at daybreak.
The tent's electrical grid was completely disassembled and neatly stored away by Sang Luoluo.
As for her position, Sang Luoluo was also standing in the very center, well protected.
Entering the deep forest, Qi Feng looked at the coordinates on the map; their next destination was a field of scallions.
As soon as we entered this area, a swarm of flying insects came flying over, some of them ridiculously large. The people in front fired their guns, forcing a path through them.
Qi Feng said, "Collect samples from the surrounding area. The rest of you, stay alert. Sang Luoluo, you and Lei Qi, come here."
Sang Luoluo nodded, took the dead flying insects back with her, and even attached a note stating their origin.
Lei Qi dug up several large scallions, which were as tall as saplings. He needed to use his heavy armor to dig very deep to bring back a whole scallion.
Some of the scallions had already grown bulbs. Sang Luoluo tested the scallions in the vicinity and found that almost all of them had high levels of radiation.
Of course, she also discovered a Crystal Core, located two meters underground.
Sang Luoluo put the excavator down and used it to uproot the few scallions she had her eye on, then stored them in the space.
Within the space, the consciousness dug out a fist-sized, dark green Crystal Core from the soil. It was a vibrant green and looked very energetic. Sang Luoluo it into the space, instantly unlocking 10 acres of scallions.
Now we can have scallions to eat, that's great!
The excavator that Sang Luoluo suddenly took out was very convenient to use. The members of S17 Squad were all shocked as to how Sang Luoluo could have such a thing. But considering that Sang Luoluo was now a member of the laboratory, she might have been equipped with it by the laboratory, so they didn't ask any more questions.
Lei Qi's heavy armor allowed him to dig out the scallions perfectly intact, no slower than Sang Luoluo's excavator.
Sang Luoluo also went over to collect them, but her hand trembled and the scallions fell to the ground, along with large earthworms in the soil.
Sang Luoluo took a step back in fright.
Hu Tian rushed over for testing.
"Beep beep beep! Radiation level 35, moderate radiation exposure, consumption recommended!"
"Captain, it's edible!!"
Qi Feng came over and took a look, realizing this was a great opportunity. He looked at Sang Luoluo and asked, "Could you help take it back?"
Sang Luoluo said, "Okay, but I want 20% of the fee."
Qi Feng felt there was no problem; Sang Luoluo's abilities were very important.
Seeing everyone's eagerness, Qi Feng didn't want to miss this opportunity to earn extra money, so he said, "Let's all search together. Half of you will be on guard. Take the earthworms you find back and exchange them for points, which we'll split equally."
"Okay!"
These earthworms aren't something you can just dig up; they were just lucky to find one that was edible.
The fat man excitedly dug out a few scallions, and from the ground he unearthed a mutated earthworm.
Three hundred years ago, Sang Luoluo wouldn't have been afraid of this thing; she would have crushed it with a hoe if she found it in the ground. But now, this thing has become enormous, and it's pupae in the soil, which is disgusting to look at.
Sang Luoluo took a few steps back in disgust.
The fat man excitedly went up to test it and found that the radiation level was only 42, which is moderate radiation and safe to eat. He looked at Sang Luoluo with anticipation.
Sang Luoluo frowned and looked at him. "Are you sure you want to eat this thing?"
The fat man understood the girl's fear of this thing and explained, "This thing only looks disgusting, but you can exchange it for points if you take it back. If I don't eat it, plenty of other people will. It's protein, after all."
Sang Luoluo: "..."
Sang Luoluo reluctantly put the item into her spatial storage, repeatedly telling herself that it could be exchanged for points, that it could be exchanged for points.
Seeing that it was almost time, Qi Feng told everyone to continue forward.
He Fei still remembered the promise he made with Sang Luoluo last time: when it was safe to do so, he would also gather firewood with everyone nearby. The forest was full of branches and dry grass stalks, which were all good materials for starting a fire.
Sang Luoluo only needs to pay 20% of the transportation fee, which is a super bargain. He Fei mobilized everyone to pick them up together.
Many hands make light work. In just a short while, Sang Luoluo watched as they gathered up all the nearby dead branches. Sang Luoluo her hand and had them collect them all.
You can easily earn 20% – a sure-fire way to make money.
In this lush forest, mixed with wildflowers, Sang Luoluo walked along, sensing whether there were any Crystal Core attracting her. She casually tested the pretty wildflowers and found that they were low in radiation, so she broke off a few branches and put them into the still space.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the onion forest; the detector had detected a large, mutated animal approaching.
Qi Feng led his men ahead to clear a path and discovered a mutated wild rabbit with grayish fur, but its size was as big as a calf.
Fortunately, its attack power was not strong, and Qi Feng fired a few shots and successfully killed it.
After testing, it was discovered to be a highly radioactive mutant animal. Sang Luoluo, considering it experimental material, simply waved it away and took it away.
Looking at it, Sang Luoluo suddenly thought, "Since there's a rabbit here, it means there's a rabbit hole nearby. What if there's a rabbit we can eat? This thing isn't very strong, why don't we go look for it?"
Lei Qi's eyes lit up. "Captain, rabbit meat! That's rabbit meat!! People are fighting over it on the black market."
Qi Feng was also tempted, but considering the dangers of the wilderness, he said, "Let's focus on the mission. If we come across a rabbit hole along the way, we can go in and explore."
The deeper they went into the onion forest, especially since the leaves and white parts of the onions had been torn by some mutated animals, a pungent and acrid smell wafted through the air, giving them headaches. They had never known that onions could mutate to this extent.
Sang Luoluo had to drink some Spirit Spring Water to calm herself down, then put on a mask. She thought she needed to buy a gas mask on the black market. There were so many strange-smelling things out in the wild; if she got poisoned, she'd be done for.
