Seeing that Sang Luoluo was free, he beckoned her over, and Sang Luoluo was able to see what was in the box.
Half of them are Crystal Core, and the rest are energy bodies that fall somewhere between meteorites and Crystal Core.
Sang Luoluo asked in surprise, "Were these obtained from the wild?"
Jian Cheng said, "I've finished counting. Come and help me move the goods. Follow me."
Sang Luoluo followed, asking as they walked, "Is it really that easy to obtain Crystal Core from the wild now?"
Jian Cheng smiled and said, "Of course not. After a meteor shower, the mutated animals and plants outside began to evolve rapidly. Most of these Crystal Core were obtained from the bodies of those mutated animals and plants, using the Crystal Core detectors that our laboratory has just developed."
"The current harvest is hundreds of times greater than before. These Crystal Core are only on the outer perimeter of the base; we can't even imagine how many are inside. It's a pity that it's already starting to snow, making it increasingly difficult for the Guard to go out."
Sang Luoluo delivered the box to the corresponding laboratory, where Dr. Wang was conducting experiments with the Crystal Core, starting to test new Crystal Core. It was a good thing that they could now obtain more Crystal Core.
Jian Cheng went up to Dr. Wang to report on his work, and then went to do other things.
Sang Luoluo was quite curious about what was going on. How many Crystal Core were there outside the base? The Guard had already brought them in box after box.
Ignoring the deadly allure of the Crystal Core, she also wanted Crystal Core to enhance her abilities.
Soon, her wristwatch issued her today's tasks: moving equipment and samples in several experimental rooms. She also happened to witness the experiments; she had just seen an Evolver who could jump almost six or seven meters high in an instant—it was incredible.
Another Evolver could even change the shape of his bones, as if he were practicing a bone-shrinking technique, freely altering his own shape.
This is surreal. Seeing the experimental content on the computer screen, researching the effects of mutated animals and plants on Evolver.
Sang Luoluo accidentally saw the experimental results. Some Evolver, after being bitten by mutated animals, came into contact with special toxins and developed new evolutionary directions on the basis of their original evolution, carrying some characteristics of the mutated animals that bit them.
Ah, this...
Sang Luoluo felt that this world was becoming more and more fantastical. She thought her abilities were already special enough, but she didn't expect to see even more special Evolver in the laboratory. They were just there to cooperate in experiments, and after the experiments were completed, their parameters were recorded and they left.
After confirming that she had no other tasks for the day, Sang Luoluo went home at noon.
After a simple lunch, training began in the afternoon. After an hour of exercise, she was covered in sweat. The room was starting to get warm. After a short rest and some water, Sang Luoluo continued training, gradually adapting to the lowest training intensity.
In the evening, the two large beds were ready. Sang Luoluo put the wooden beds away and placed them in the two rooms on the first floor. She then took out the quilts and blankets she had bought earlier and spread them out on the beds.
During her break, Sang Luoluo recounted what she had seen in the lab that day.
Sang Yunpu was envious, "I wonder when I'll be able to awaken my abilities."
Qi Feng said, "I've also received the news. My brothers in the Guard obtained quite a few Crystal Core outside the base, but it's not as easy as you think. The outer perimeter is now teeming with mutated animals. After the meteor shower, they evolved."
Sang Luoluo suggested, "Should we go check the outer perimeter and see if we can find the Crystal Core ourselves?"
She was still thinking about the small pile of Crystal Core she'd found in the rat hole on the outskirts last time.
Sang Yunpu tapped her on the head. "It's dangerous outside. How dare you go without Guard?"
Sang Luoluo said, "We're not entirely without options. I still have giant trees in my spatial storage. We just won't go far."
Qi Feng also wanted to see the changes outside, and said, "I can protect you. If necessary, you can hide in Sang Luoluo's space, and I can protect one less person."
Sang Luoluo said, "Then can we just wander around the neighborhood without going far?"
Sang Yunpu was also somewhat tempted, "Should we hire a few more bodyguards?"
Qi Feng said, "More people would be more troublesome. The three of us are enough. We're just going to look around nearby, we won't go far."
Sang Luoluo asked, "Then how do we divide the Crystal Core we found?"
Qi Feng said, "What you found is yours. As for what I found, apart from the golden and blue Crystal Core, the rest are yours. You just need to exchange them for food at market price."
"No problem." Sang Luoluo didn't plan to stay outdoors for long, so she said, "Then we'll go and come back on the same day."
Sang Yunpu said, "I can go, but I need to finish the chores at home first."
That evening Qi Feng and Sang Yunpu worked overtime to clean the second basement level and installed a dehumidifier and air conditioner. It wasn't that cold down there, and underfloor heating wouldn't be convenient, so air conditioning was a better option.
The only thing left to build is the second floor, but there's no rush. We can take our time building it after we come back from the field.
Sang Luoluo took a day off, and Qi Feng arrived early in the morning. He drove them out, with Sang Yunpu in the passenger seat, Sang Luoluo in the back, and Chuanchuan beside them. They were going to the countryside, Chuanchuan was very excited, sitting upright and looking out the window through the windshield, looking very alert.
Before she transmigrated, Chuanchuan often accompanied her on delivery trips; it was very used to it.
Now that the wild environment has changed, Sang Luoluo thought that Chuanchuan would have to adapt to the environment here sooner or later. It wouldn't be good to keep it in the space forever, as Chuanchuan didn't like an overly quiet environment.
After leaving the base, Sang Luoluo suggested going to Zone 33C. She had been there before and was used to it. The main thing she was really thinking about was the pile of Crystal Core from the rat hole last time. She longed for them day and night, and it was hard for her to get them.
Qi Feng had no objections. He left the Guard with a knife in his hand. He had no other weapons and could only try his luck with the most primitive weapon.
The base's Guard maintains strict control over weapons to prevent base personnel and Evolver from acquiring large quantities of weapons, developing their own power, and turning against the base.
The controls are now tight enough that the Evolver in the base can't cause any trouble. Even if they have weapons, they can't do anything about it, and the food is controlled by the base's higher-ups.
Along the way, the ground was covered with meteorites. Sang Luoluo and Sang Yunpu were wearing radiation protection suits, Qi Feng wore an old one, which, although it was unclear where he had gotten it from, looked barely usable.
The road was riddled with craters from meteorites of all sizes. Sang Luoluo could vaguely sense the gravitational pull of the meteorites' energy. She said, "Slow down. Stop the car."
Sang Luoluo the stage and took a few steps back. She found a meteorite in a crater, about the size of a palm, but it contained energy. Sang Luoluo picked it up and went back to get in the car.
Why did you pick it up?
Sang Luoluo said, "It contains energy. You can test it with a detector if you don't believe me."
Qi Feng tried it. "No, it can't be detected. Does it really contain energy?"
Sang Luoluo nodded, "It's not as good as Crystal Core, but it's not. The latest Crystal Core detector developed in the lab can detect it."
Sang Luoluo absorbed the meteorite right in front of them.
Qi Feng looked at Sang Luoluo's watch. The latest model in the lab could detect Crystal Core. This... we'll have to find a way to get them later.
Ignoring their thoughts, Sang Luoluo continued, "Don't touch these meteorites directly without gloves. Their radiation levels are very high, and you could easily get infected."
Sang Yunpu nodded, indicating that he understood.
The car drove all the way to Zone 33C. Qi Feng was very familiar with this area, having driven it countless times before. However, this time he vaguely saw the shadows of many mutated animals on the road. Although they did not actively pounce on them, he still had a very bad feeling.
Upon arriving at their destination, Sang Luoluo put the car away, and the three prepared to walk. Chuanchuan followed behind Sang Luoluo, feeling both unfamiliar and curious about the surroundings.
Sang Luoluo gave her laser pistol to Qi Feng. The gun was completely different in her hands compared to when it was in Qi Feng's.
Give it back to me when you're done.
Qi Feng smiled and nodded, "Okay."
No wonder this brother and sister dared to come to the wilderness. This kind of thing is hard to get even on the black market, not because the supply is scarce, but because the amount of resources required to exchange for it is huge. Ordinary people simply don't have the resources to do that. Not only do they have it, they have two of them.
Sang Luoluo held a hand grenade, intending to throw it if things went wrong.
I'll buy more on the black market when I run out of this stuff.
A familiar attraction drew her in. Sang Luoluo stared at the meteorite crater ahead. A massive meteorite, taller than a person, radiated an aura of energy. Sang Luoluo reached out and put it into her spatial storage. The storage space instantly absorbed it, unlocking five acres of land.
"Its energy is incredibly high." The meteorite, once thrown out, immediately went dark.
Qi Feng, standing to the side, was also surprised, "You absorbed all the energy?"
Sang Luoluo nodded. "The doctor said that for my abilities to evolve, I need to absorb Crystal Core. Especially black Crystal Core, which are the most effective for me."
Chapter 76 There's no going back, let's drink some hot water to warm ourselves up.
Sang Yunpu was envious and hoped to find more Crystal Core. The more Crystal Core his sister could absorb, the stronger she would become.
Qi Feng was also very surprised. It was already quite impressive for an Evolved Human to absorb even one type of Crystal Core, but she had absorbed them all so quickly. He really didn't know what to say.
