A cold voice asked, "What do you want?"
Qi Feng had the advantage in size and aura. One of the opponents, an evolved human, looked at Qi Feng with some dissatisfaction and said, "What do you think? The temperature has dropped so drastically. You have so many blankets, what's wrong with giving one to us?"
"Either you hand it over obediently, or we'll settle this with our fists," the other side threatened again.
Qi Feng chuckled. "Then let's get started."
The other evolved human, relying on his evolved human origins, enhanced body, and training, completely disregarded the young man in front of him and took a step forward, ready to attack.
Hearing the commotion, Sang Luoluo, who was inside the tent, unzipped the tent a little and peeked out. She immediately saw Qi Feng make his move, delivering a very fast punch that knocked the other person to the ground. He then pressed her down and delivered several more punches, leaving the other person with a bruised and swollen face.
The two men behind him didn't even see how Qi Feng made his move before their leader fell down, and they panicked.
Qi Feng stood up briskly, chuckled, and said, "Get lost."
The other two people pulled the person off the ground and quickly ran away.
Qi Feng's move was witnessed by almost everyone who was awake nearby. Those who had originally intended to bully the two of them now gave up the idea; they couldn't win.
Qi Feng sensed movement behind him and turned around to find Sang Luoluo out, her dark eyes sparkling.
He quietly stretched out a hand and gave a thumbs-up.
Then he crawled back to sleep.
Qi Feng shook his head with amusement. It wasn't that he was too powerful, but rather that these people in the laboratory had absolutely no combat experience. He himself had fought his way up from among so many evolved beings in the Guard; without some strength, he would have died long ago in this cannibalistic world.
Sang Luoluo up again, feeling that it was too cold tonight, so she took out a rechargeable hand warmer, unzipped it and handed it to him before going back to sleep.
Qi Feng's hands were a little cold, and even with two blankets, he was still quite chilly, though much better than the others in the lab. Unexpectedly, Sang Luoluo got up again and handed him a hand warmer. These things weren't cheap, especially in the dead of winter; it was too difficult to live comfortably. Luckily, he seemed to have met a good boss.
Sang Luoluo didn't have time to think about anything else. She hid under the covers, hugging a warm hand warmer, and slept so comfortably that she woke up to find it was already dawn.
Once the zipper was unzipped, Qi Feng was already sitting there, wrapped in a blanket, looking very proper.
"You're awake."
"Hmm." Sang Luoluo checked the time; it was already 7:30. She went to the bathroom next door to wash up, and when she came back, she prepared to eat breakfast. Seeing that he had already drunk half of the nutritional supplement, Sang Luoluo handed him a warm egg.
Only then did he go into the tent to eat his own meal, hot milk and eggs.
After two consecutive days, Qi Feng gained a new understanding of Sang Luoluo's family background; her wealth was probably not much less than that of the high-ranking members of the base.
Sang Luoluo finished her meal slowly, and it was exactly eight o'clock. A few minutes later, she received a message from Jian Cheng's assistant, asking her to go upstairs to participate in an experiment.
She got up and packed her bedding, with Qi Feng naturally following behind to protect her.
Furthermore, the two have a normal employment relationship on the Evolutionary Human Forum page, and the laboratory allows them to enter for protection.
However, the experiment was separated by glass, so Qi Feng could only wait outside. Sang Yunpu had sent a message early on, asking about Sang Luoluo's situation, and Qi Feng told him the truth about what was happening here.
Today's experiment is still related to Crystal Core.
Chapter 80 My mind feels very comfortable. The space has expanded... almost three large...
Sang Luoluo and the other Evolved Human had a pile of Crystal Core in front of them, with various sizes and energy values.
She stood there, and they fitted her with a monitoring device to track her body's reactions as she absorbed energy. The other Evolved Human standing in the same row did the same.
The Evolved Human to her left experienced palpitations and dizziness after absorbing a Crystal Core the size of a peanut. He also started sweating profusely, seemingly unable to withstand the energy of the Crystal Core. These reactions were even more intense when he rested briefly and absorbed a second Crystal Core.
Others also experienced other symptoms to varying degrees.
When it was Sang Luoluo's turn, she lined up the Crystal Core one by one to absorb them. There was no special reaction. Rather than her absorbing them, it was more like the space was actively absorbing the energy of the crystal Crystal Core. What were these few Crystal Core?
Sang Luoluo's physical indicators showed no change whatsoever; she was just like usual.
"That's strange. They all reacted, but you didn't react much. Apart from your heart beating a little faster than before, you don't feel any discomfort."
Dr. Wang was also here. After comparing the data one by one, Sang Luoluo's reaction was the least noticeable. However, compared to historical data, the stronger the Evolver's ability, the more Crystal Core they absorbed. This applies to almost every Evolver.
Dr. Wang looked up and saw Qi Feng standing outside the door, and waved to him.
" Captain Qi, would you be willing to join this experiment? The laboratory can offer you a corresponding subsidy," Dr. Wang said.
"Can."
Qi Feng stood next to Sang Luoluo, with a pile of Crystal Core of various sizes and energy levels in front of him. He was surprised that Sang Luoluo had absorbed all the Crystal Core, while he could only absorb the blue Crystal Core, with a limit of three. Moreover, he experienced the same feeling as other Evolver: dizziness, nausea, and a rapid heartbeat.
However, he also felt that his physical fitness had improved again. Only he knew the feeling that came from the inside out, and all the data were clearly recorded by the instruments.
Dr. Wang adjusted his glasses, glanced at Sang Luoluo in the middle who looked completely bewildered—her ability was the most unique—and asked, "You just absorbed so many Crystal Core, have your abilities changed in any way?"
Sang Luoluo closed her eyes and sensed it. Just now, the planting area and pasture area in the space had been basically unlocked, and she had just unlocked a hundred square meters of the back mountain.
That mountain was created by piling up the soil from the pond and the artificial sea area she had dug before, and planting some edible wild mushrooms, Chinese medicinal herbs, and other plants suitable for mountain growth on it.
"Of course, I can't say for sure," Sang Luoluo said. "There have been changes. My space seems to have expanded by about 5 square meters."
The changes were minimized as much as possible.
Dr. Wang became interested upon hearing this.
Turning his head, he discussed the matter with his assistants and had several more boxes brought over. Upon opening them, they revealed boxes filled with Crystal Core of various sizes. Sang Luoluo felt that familiar attraction, and her heart raced. Data was detected, and Dr. Wang glanced at the instrument's readings, adjusted his glasses, and said, "Try it and see how many Crystal Core you can absorb."
Sang Luoluo looked at the several large boxes and swallowed hard. "Doctor, are you sure you want me to absorb these Crystal Core?"
Dr. Wang nodded. "Now that you've started absorbing the nutrients, I want to test your tolerance."
Since that's the case, Sang Luoluo didn't stand on ceremony. She knew all too well how difficult it was to find Crystal Core in the wild, and now that she could absorb these Crystal Core by doing an experiment, she was more than willing.
Sang Luoluo picked up a Crystal Core and began to absorb it. In the blink of an eye, the energy in the Crystal Core was completely absorbed, leaving only a pile of residue. Then she moved on to the next one.
Sang Luoluo could sense the amount of energy within it. Purer energy would leave almost no residue after absorption, while impure energy would leave a pile of residue after absorption.
She absorbed them one by one without feeling anything, and the box was soon empty. The other researchers and other Evolver stared in disbelief at what was happening to Sang Luoluo.
There were instruments and cameras nearby that could accurately detect the rapid decay of energy in the Crystal Core, eventually reaching zero. This meant that Sang Luoluo had indeed absorbed it herself, which was very strange.
After absorbing the Crystal Core from one box, Sang Luoluo glanced somewhat sheepishly at Dr. Wang and continued absorbing the Crystal Core were quickly gone. Then, Sang Luoluo continued absorbing the Crystal Core from the third box. Realizing that absorbing them one by one was too inefficient, she grabbed a handful and absorbed them. The handful of Crystal Core turned into a handful of gray dust in just a few seconds.
Everyone swallowed hard. Dr. Wang looked on with interest and asked, "Has your ability changed at all?"
Sang Luoluo said, "The space's capacity has increased a little more."
Dr. Wang instructed his assistant to record the experimental data accurately, and even excitedly urged Sang Luoluo to continue absorbing the Crystal Core.
Sang Luoluo focused on the next box and continued absorbing Crystal Core, one after another, with no end in sight.
Sang Luoluo absorbed all the Crystal Core from the four boxes. Far from feeling uncomfortable, she felt a strong craving for more Crystal Core. At this moment, she could even feel the space bound to her soul emitting a desire for Crystal Core, wanting Crystal Core, wanting many, many Crystal Core.
Like someone starving, finally taking their first bite and tasting the delicious food, they began to shout wildly.
Sang Luoluo's heartbeat also began to accelerate, and other values in her body also began to change slightly.
Dr. Wang, seeing the data presented by Sang Luoluo, remarked, "What a pity, we only prepared these Crystal Core today. Is this just the beginning?"
