They were drifting aimlessly in the air, and any random meteorite or broken piece of wall could knock them away.
Sang Yunpu held Sang Luoluo's hand tightly the whole time, trying his best to keep them steady, and even shifting their positions and adjusting their direction when the opportunity arose.
Almost the instant they were about to land, they were hit again, and the protective sphere shattered. This time, Sang Luoluo directly crushed a compressed protective sphere and replaced the cracked one, allowing them to land safely on the ground.
But it's not safe now.
Sang Luoluo put away the safety ball, which had been cracked again, and pulled Sang Yunpu into the space. The two of them stayed in the space, surrounded by mist.
"This..."
Sang Yunpu was still in shock.
Sang Luoluo said, "We're not safe right now. We have no other choice and don't know where to run. Nowhere is safe. Let's stay in my space for now."
"Well, that's fine. I just didn't expect that your spatial ability could also come in on its own." Sang Yunpu had a new understanding of Sang Luoluo's evolutionary ability.
Sang Luoluo nodded, having thought of an excuse, and said, "Brother, even the base didn't know I could enter my own space. I only discovered it by chance. I found some Crystal Core Crystal Core in the wild, and I can absorb their energy to enhance my evolutionary abilities."
Sang Yunpu's eyes lit up. "You can absorb those Crystal Core!! That's wonderful! You know, some Evolver can absorb Crystal Core, and some can't. Evolver can absorb Crystal Core are destined to become stronger and stronger."
Sang Luoluo was delighted to hear this and said, "Then I'll have to find more Crystal Core when we go out in the future."
Sang Yunpu said, "I'll go with you then. The stronger you become, the better our family's life will be. To survive in this cannibalistic wasteland, earning food alone isn't enough; you also need strength. Without enough strength, anyone can bully you."
"Yes, I understand that."
Sang Yunpu continued to instruct, "You must not tell anyone about your evolving abilities except me, especially not those in the lab."
Sang Luoluo nodded hurriedly.
Although she had deceived Sang Yunpu, there was no other way; to a certain extent, her space did indeed require Crystal Core to unlock.
The two were still inside the safety sphere. To make it easier for them to move around, Sang Luoluo opened the safety sphere, waved her hand to bring over a table, placed it in front of them, put two apple milkshakes and a plate of roasted lamb chops on it, took two pairs of disposable gloves, and started eating.
"How long are we staying here?" Sang Luoluo asked.
Sang Yunpu said, "Let's wait until tonight. We'll go out and take a look tomorrow morning. If something's wrong, we might have to stay here longer."
"Good."
There's food and drink here, so it's no problem.
Sang Yunpu ate his roasted lamb chops, he was extremely grateful that he had prepared some food in advance. Now, in the face of disaster, he had a safe place to hide and delicious food to eat, which made him feel very at ease.
Suddenly I understood why Sang Luoluo had seemed so relaxed lately; she really did have confidence.
Now he, as the older brother, has more confidence.
They slept on the floor there that night. The next morning, Sang Yunpu estimated the time and, around 8:30, he and Sang Luoluo ate eggs and drank milk for breakfast. After confirming they were full, they decided to go out and take a look.
Of course, once the two entered the protective sphere, there was some buffer after they went out.
The moment they stepped outside, the protective sphere opened up a space, burying the two of them beneath a pile of rubble, though they could still vaguely see the sky above.
After waiting for a while and seeing no aftershocks, Sang Luoluo stretched out her hand and put all the rocks and collapsed walls above her head into her spatial storage, making room for them.
The protective ball was cracked and unusable, so the two climbed out along the path that Sang Luoluo had cleared.
After climbing out, Sang Luoluo her hand, throwing the remaining debris from the wall back onto the ground.
When the two reached the ground, the meteor shower was not as intense as yesterday and gradually stopped. Occasionally, a meteor would fall, kicking up a cloud of dust and creating a deep crater.
The two looked around and saw many survivors searching for new places to stay. Many of them carried backpacks with some urgently needed supplies. Some were seriously injured and were being held in the arms of their families, cherishing their last moments.
The base originally had many high-rise buildings, but now, apart from a few that remain standing, most of them have been destroyed by natural disasters. The remaining high-rise buildings have also suffered varying degrees of damage.
There were many survivors and many dead on the streets; ruins were everywhere.
Seeing the base like this, Sang Yunpu and Sang Luoluo felt an indescribable sadness. After all, this was their home. Sang Yunpu looked at the open space in front of them and said, "Let's follow those people and find a place to settle down."
Chapter 64 Full of enthusiasm, she managed to stay alive and give a reply.
The base has dispatched personnel to repair the base stations damaged by the meteor shower and restore communications as soon as possible.
Many places within the base are currently unsafe. The base has designated disaster shelters, and the team they just joined is heading towards one of these shelters.
The disaster relief area was an open space, unaffected by the earthquake, and apart from the damage caused by the meteorite shower, it had relatively complete emergency medical equipment.
A few hours after the meteor shower, communications were restored within the base, and the wristwatch was ready to be used again.
Sang Luoluo's watch received many messages immediately.
It's over there in the lab.
Let her live and give us a reply.
Sang Luoluo replied.
She also replied to the Evolved Human at the base; she's still alive.
The disaster claimed many lives, but the base was well-prepared and had relatively complete supplies. Most of the civilians were injured because of the early warnings, and the base lost one-third of its population.
The specific locations of the casualties have been provided.
We found an open space in the disaster relief area. Each open space was marked out with lime, and each person could occupy four square meters.
Sang Luoluo and Sang Yunpu together can occupy 8 square meters of open space.
Of course, there are clear rules here: if you want a larger area, you can exchange food for it; 10 kilograms of food can be exchanged for 1 square meter of area.
Food and water are the most important things right now. When people escape, the supplies they can take are limited, and no one is willing to trade life-saving food for a pitifully small living space. Of course, the truly wealthy are an exception.
Sang Yunpu didn't want the two of them to stand out too much; 8 square meters was enough for the two of them.
Sang Luoluo is also a space- Evolved Human, so many things don't take up much space.
Sang Yunpu said calmly, "Let's set up a tent and rest for a bit first."
Sang Luoluo nodded. There was a tent at home; they could just bring it out.
The two tents were tied together, right next to each other, so there was no need to worry about them being stolen.
Helicopters from the base began to fly overhead, one after another, whether transporting supplies or people, it was unclear.
The good news that the watches are usable is that the meteor shower has temporarily stopped, and the trajectories of the stray meteorites can be predicted in advance and sent to everyone's watches, allowing them to take shelter in time.
Sang Luoluo thought this feature was really good.
People gradually came here to set up camp and find temporary shelter.
After walking for a while, Sang Luoluo was tired and lay down in the tent to sleep for a while. It was daytime now, so it was relatively safe, but at night, it was hard to say what would happen. If someone robbed them, they would have no recourse. This was what Sang Yunpu was most worried about, so he stayed by Sang Luoluo's side while she slept.
Sang Luoluo slept for two hours before being woken up by her wristwatch; it was a voice call from the base's Guard.
"Hello, is this Sang Luoluo?"
"I am."
"The base's Guard needs your assistance. Your evolved abilities can be helpful in disaster relief. Given the base's severe shortage of manpower, all Evolved Human of the Guard detail are required to carry out this mission. Please send your current location, and the base will send someone to pick you up immediately."
"What? A mission? And it's mandatory?"
Sang Luoluo felt a bit disgusted when she heard the word "coercion".
Fearing Sang Luoluo might misunderstand, the other party said, "The base is severely damaged and needs your help. Don't worry, you'll be well compensated. You'll get 10 bags of nutrient solution per day."
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo said, "I don't lack food. Can we exchange it for some other resources? If so, I'll agree."
Seeing Sang Luoluo haggling, the other party became somewhat displeased and said, "Are you haggling now? As a member of the base, you have a responsibility to contribute to the base."
Sang Luoluo also wanted to speak up for herself, saying, "I'm sorry, I have other tasks to attend to right now. Many samples from the lab are with me, and my spatial storage capacity is limited. I don't have much space left, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help. You can verify this with the lab."
The other party was taken aback for a moment, then immediately checked Sang Luoluo's mission details. Indeed, there was a high-level and confidential mission in progress. Therefore, their Guard could not force Sang Luoluo to carry out the mission.
"Okay, I understand. May I ask how much more space you have? The Guard can exchange it for other supplies based on your contribution points."
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo became interested, but not wanting to say too much, she replied, "About three large trucks."
