Chapter Summaries

Sang Luoluo and her companions discovered deadly venomous insects in the woods, warned the base, and endured a dangerous journey back. After reaching the base, Sang Luoluo went to meet Sang Tong at a prepared testing area for her mutated mushrooms.

• Sang Luoluo found abandoned bodies and, after Qi Xue recognized signs of insect venom, searched the area and discovered swarms of tiny mutated insects.
• He Fei recorded the insects, and Sang Luoluo sent the footage and their location to Sang Tong, who promised to dispatch a plane to spray pesticide and ordered them to return.
• Sang Luoluo and her companions cautiously traveled through the woods overnight, resting along the way and warning another team about the insects.
• Qi Xue drove the group out of the woods, and Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to guide the car and overcome obstacles.
• The group reached the base after nine at night, and Sang Luoluo arranged to meet Sang Tong at an official warehouse prepared for testing her mutated mushrooms.

Sang Luoluo and the researchers confirmed that rapidly grown mutated mushrooms were edible, giving the base a promising new food source. She then visited Qi Feng and Chuanchuan at the hospital, where Chuanchuan demonstrated its powerful lightning ability and Qi Feng insisted on returning to the wild to train.

• Sang Luoluo and the researchers grew mutated mushrooms in the laboratory and confirmed they remained low-radiation and edible when harvested before dawn.
• Sang Tong praised Sang Luoluo’s contribution and promised to discuss a reward with the other base leaders.
• Sang Yunpu told Sang Luoluo that Qi Feng and Chuanchuan had developed lightning abilities after their bodies mutated, while he lamented his own limited healing ability.
• Chuanchuan fired a powerful lightning blast through a target at Sang Luoluo’s request, and Qi Feng explained how their abilities differed.
• Qi Feng said he could control the lightning’s energy and insisted on joining the next trip into the wild to master his new ability.

Sang Luoluo’s team traveled into Nyingchi to gather Crystal Cores and pursue a place in the top three, which would secure a Crystal Core-powered aircraft as a reward. After collecting hundreds of Cores and finding a place to camp, they settled in for the night with Qi Feng keeping watch.

• Sang Luoluo’s team chose to request a Crystal Core-powered aircraft from Sang Tong, who said it should be possible if they placed in the top three.
• Sang Luoluo’s team left Xiao Li to recover and traveled to the outskirts of Nyingchi, where they rested overnight in their armored vehicle.
• At daybreak, Qi Feng led the team deeper into the area while Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to navigate rough ground and retrieve hidden Crystal Cores.
• Sang Luoluo’s team collected nearly six hundred Crystal Cores during the day and continued walking for another hour to reach a safer campsite.
• Sang Luoluo served dinner in the armored vehicle, and Qi Feng volunteered to keep watch while the others rested.

Sang Luoluo’s team encountered tens of thousands of mutated flying insects and used their weapons and abilities to cull them. Qi Feng and Chuanchuan tested their lightning against the swarm, but Qi Feng lost control and fell after being struck by his own power.

• Sang Luoluo detected a huge swarm of mutated flying insects nesting in a tree, and Qi Feng volunteered to attack them with Chuanchuan’s help.
• Sang Luoluo and the others shot insects around them while Qi Feng and Chuanchuan approached the tree.
• Chuanchuan’s lightning killed over a thousand insects, and Qi Feng’s first strike killed roughly a hundred but started a fire.
• Chuanchuan extinguished the fire with another lightning strike that killed several hundred more insects.
• Qi Xue warned that Qi Feng could hurt himself if he lost control, and Qi Feng’s next strike hit him and knocked him to the ground.

Sang Luoluo and her team cleared a mutant flying-insect nest, using her space to gather the insects so Chuanchuan could kill them with lightning. They pushed deeper into the unexplored area and began fighting its mutant wildlife, with mutant birds gathering above the corpses as the chapter ended.

• Qi Feng practiced controlling lightning while Chuanchuan and the others attacked the mutant flying insects.
• Sang Luoluo pulled groups of insects into her space, where Chuanchuan killed them with lightning, and the team cleared the area by the end of the morning.
• The team advanced deeper into the area, where Sang Luoluo detected mutant snakes, birds, rats, and ants living in separate burrows and hollows.
• Qi Feng's group lured mutant rats out with nuts and shot them, attracting nearby mutant snakes; Qi Xue killed one of the snakes.
• Sang Luoluo gathered or shot mutant ants as mutant birds descended toward the pile of rat and snake corpses.

Sang Luoluo and her team fought off waves of mutant animals, collected Crystal Cores from underground burrows, and used smoke grenades to drive mutant rats out. As night fell, they retreated to the armored vehicle to rest and eat, planning to resume in the morning.

• He Fei shot down two mutant birds as more birds, insects, and mutant animals converged on the team; Sang Luoluo pulled an approaching mutant tiger into her space, where Sang Tong killed it.
• Mutant birds swooped at Sang Luoluo, but Lei Qi pulled her to safety while Qi Feng struck the birds with lightning and the others provided covering fire.
• Sang Luoluo collected the nearby animal corpses, and Qi Feng and Lei Qi used a mining robot to retrieve Crystal Cores from a deep mutant snake burrow.
• Qi Feng used smoke grenades to flush mutant rats from their burrow while He Fei and Qi Xue killed the rats that emerged; the robot made several trips to recover Crystal Cores.
• After dark, the team retreated to a clean spot, entered Sang Luoluo's armored vehicle, and ate fruit and canned food before resting for the night.

The Unhurried Team learned that their battle footage had made them popular, then decided to avoid revealing too much of their strength. After escaping mutated vines and finding edible peach blossoms, Sang Luoluo discovered the grove was infested with dangerous stinging caterpillars.

• He Fei told Sang Luoluo and the others that their team ranked ninth and that their mutated tiger battle video had gone viral.
• Sang Luoluo worried that their sudden fame would make them targets, and Qi Feng advised the team to stop uploading footage of high-level kills.
• Qi Xue woke Sang Luoluo when mutated vines wrapped around their armored vehicle, and Sang Luoluo cut through them while Lei Qi drove away.
• The team returned to the previous battle site, where Sang Luoluo sensed that more than a thousand mutated rats had died underground from their smoke bombs.
• Sang Luoluo found a peach grove with edible blossoms, but Lei Qi was stung by a hidden caterpillar and Sang Luoluo sensed many more nearby.

Sang Luoluo and her companions struggled through a peach grove infested with venomous stinging caterpillars, and several teammates were badly stung. After Qi Feng suspected Sang Luoluo’s self-healing ability might protect her, she joined him to test the theory and killed a caterpillar, leaving them still facing the infested area.

• Sang Luoluo spotted stinging caterpillars in the peach grove, and the group fought them while retreating; Chuanchuan was stung on the muzzle.
• Qi Feng led everyone out of the grove, but Lei Qi was stung, so they stopped in a wet clearing to treat him and Chuanchuan.
• He Fei and Qi Xue discovered that they had also been stung, while Sang Luoluo remained unharmed and Chuanchuan recovered after soaking in mineral water.
• Qi Feng proposed that Sang Luoluo’s self-healing ability might protect her from the caterpillars and persuaded her to help clear them out.
• Sang Luoluo returned outside with Qi Feng and destroyed a brightly colored caterpillar with ten Crystal Core weapons.

Qi Feng and Sang Luoluo cleared mutated stinging caterpillars and a nest of flying insects, confirming Sang Luoluo had become resistant to the caterpillars. After moving the group to a safer place for the night, they planned to dig for a large natural Crystal Core the next day.

• Qi Feng guided Sang Luoluo as she killed stinging caterpillars, then tested her resistance by placing their bristles on her hand.
• Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng searched for and cleared more caterpillars, and Sang Luoluo used her spatial ability and grenades to destroy a nest of mutated flying insects.
• Sang Luoluo detected a large natural Crystal Core about sixty meters underground, and Qi Feng decided they would return to dig for it the next day.
• After finding mutated creatures near their vehicle, Sang Luoluo moved it and the group to a more open resting place.
• Qi Feng told the group they would need to dig at least thirty meters for the Crystal Core, while Sang Luoluo reported that nearby underground gaps were mostly too narrow or solid to help.

Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng’s team waited out a heavy storm while recovering from stinging caterpillar injuries, then used Sang Luoluo’s farm mineral water and bait to attract mutated animals and hunt them from their vehicle. The rain continued as their improvised plan began drawing in more prey, including a large mutated snake.

• Qi Xue suggested that the team ask the farm owner to recruit them, but Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng doubted the owner needed more people.
• A midnight storm woke Chuanchuan, who sensed a mutated animal approaching before it moved away.
• Sang Luoluo read Sang Yunpu’s delayed message warning that teams in the dense forest had suffered serious injuries from mutated insects and reporting the mineral water’s healing effects.
• With the rain keeping them inside, Sang Luoluo proposed using mineral water to grow mutated mushrooms, while Qi Feng suggested luring animals close enough to shoot from the vehicle.
• Sang Luoluo spread mineral water and chicken legs outside, and Qi Feng’s team shot the mutated animals drawn to the area, including a large snake.

Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng's team harvested edible mutated plants after the rain, then dug up an enormous Crystal Core worth thirteen million cores. They kept the core secret and prepared to rest, but another team's voices reached them nearby.

• Qi Feng organized the team to harvest edible mutated mushrooms and plants while Sang Luoluo and Chuanchuan watched for danger.
• Sang Luoluo collected Crystal Cores from mutated animal corpses, and the team finished harvesting before the rising heat made new growth dangerously irradiated.
• Qi Feng led the team to the buried Crystal Core, where they dug thirty meters down and Sang Luoluo pulled the enormous pale green core into her space.
• Lei Qi measured the Crystal Core at thirteen million Crystal Cores, and Sang Luoluo decided to keep it for improving abilities rather than trade it for food.
• He Fei warned Lei Qi not to tell anyone outside their team about the Crystal Core, and the team heard another group nearby as they prepared to enter their vehicle.

Sang Luoluo’s team traded supplies to Wang Qiang’s team, then discovered that the Wang Family team was following them to use them as protection from mutated animals. After killing three wolves, Sang Luoluo’s group decided to leave the followers with nothing and stopped to make a fire, while Wang Qiang approached to share it.

• Wang Qiang asked Sang Luoluo’s team to travel together and lend supplies, but Sang Luoluo refused both requests unless they paid in Crystal Cores.
• Wang Qiang agreed to pay triple the market price, and Sang Luoluo sold his team sixty cans for 3,600 Crystal Cores.
• Wang Qiang’s team followed Sang Luoluo’s group, and Qi Feng suspected they had used them to deal with three mutated wolves; the team killed the wolves and collected nearly twenty Crystal Cores.
• Qi Xue proposed that Sang Luoluo’s team kill every mutated animal they encountered so Wang Qiang’s followers would get nothing, and the others agreed.
• Sang Luoluo’s team stopped and made a fire, while Wang Qiang’s team struggled to light one of their own.
• Wang Qiang brought his teammates over to warm themselves by Sang Luoluo’s fire.

Sang Luoluo’s team sold Wang Qiang’s group water and firewood but refused to share their armored vehicle after accusing them of leading mutant wolves toward them. As the night ended, Wang Qiang considered attacking Sang Luoluo’s team but decided the risks were too great.

• Sang Luoluo charged Wang Qiang Crystal Cores for using the fire, then sold his team water and firewood at steep prices.
• Sang Luoluo and her teammates refused Wang Qiang’s request to sleep in their armored vehicle, and Qi Feng accused his group of deliberately drawing wolves toward them.
• Sang Luoluo’s team rested in the vehicle while Chuanchuan watched outside, and He Fei took the first watch.
• Wang Qiang secretly planned to lure mutant wolves toward the vehicle and take its supplies if Sang Luoluo’s team was killed.
• He Fei held back while Wang Qiang’s team fought off small mutant animals, then shot one that approached the vehicle.
• Wang Qiang’s teammate suggested killing Sang Luoluo’s group, but Wang Qiang rejected the idea because of the competition recordings, their strength, and Sang Luoluo’s connection to the base chief.

Sang Luoluo and the Sang Family team fought off two attacks by mutant wild wolves while refusing to let Wang Qiang's group take shelter in their armored vehicle. After dawn, they ate breakfast and prepared to collect the wolves' carcasses before leaving to shake off their followers.

• Wang Qiang's men complained about the Sang Family team, while He Fei suspected the mutant wild wolves were using smaller animals to exhaust the humans before attacking.
• Chuanchuan alerted the team to approaching wolves, and Sang Luoluo warned everyone as the pack closed in from all directions.
• Wang Qiang's group approached the armored vehicle for help, but Qi Feng warned them off; Sang Luoluo then shot down the first wave of wolves as they charged Wang Qiang's men.
• The wolves launched a larger attack near dawn, and Wang Qiang ordered his men into the trees while Sang Luoluo and the others fought the pack from the vehicle.
• Sang Luoluo pulled wolves within twenty meters into her space and killed them, helping end the attack; afterward, she brought out breakfast and planned to collect the carcasses and leave.

Sang Luoluo’s team pursued points by attacking a giant mutant bee hive while Wang Qiang’s exhausted team followed and rested nearby. Sang Luoluo cleared more than half the bees by pulling them into her space, then drew out the swarm and used a mutant black bear as a decoy as she finished killing the bees and their queen.

• Wang Qiang persuaded his exhausted team to follow Sang Luoluo’s team for protection from the mutant wolves, while Qi Xue proposed taking advantage of the opportunity to collect more points.
• Sang Luoluo sensed a giant bee hive ahead, and her team agreed to attack it despite their limited supply of bombs.
• Sang Luoluo put Qi Xue, Lei Qi, and Chuanchuan into her space, where they shot and electrocuted successive batches of bees she pulled from the hive.
• Qi Feng warned Wang Qiang’s team away from the hive, and Wang Qiang had his people rest inside a tree hollow instead of joining the fight.
• After Sang Luoluo had removed and killed more than half the bees, the remaining swarm poured out, so she used a mutant black bear baited with honey to draw their attacks while her team fought them.
• Sang Luoluo cleared the remaining bees from the hive and killed the queen bee.

Sang Luoluo and her team quickly destroyed a mutated bee hive, collected its honey and nearby Crystal Cores, then found a large patch of mutated beans. Wang Qiang’s team caught up and wanted to gather beans too, but Qi Feng stopped them and demanded they give up half of what they picked.

• Sang Luoluo pulled the mutated bees and black bear into her space, where she and her teammates killed the bees with Crystal Core weapons.
• Sang Luoluo harvested honey from the hive while Qi Feng, Qi Xue, and the others dealt with stray mutated animals and dug up nearby Crystal Cores.
• Wang Qiang’s team discovered that Sang Luoluo’s group had already cleared the hive and hurried after them.
• The team reached a shaded patch of mutated bean vines, killed nearby mutated birds, and began gathering edible beans.
• Wang Qiang’s team arrived and tried to join the harvest, but Qi Feng blocked them and demanded half of the beans they picked.

Sang Luoluo’s team harvested a vast patch of mutant beans while fighting off repeated attacks from mutant wolves, then shared a rescue plane back to the base with Wang Qiang’s team. At the competition hall, Sang Luoluo warned the staff that her team had a large amount of supplies to exchange.

• Wang Qiang accepted Qi Feng’s offer to help carry the mutant beans in exchange for an eighty-twenty split, and Sang Luoluo kept the teams’ shares separate.
• Mutant wolves attacked repeatedly through the night, and Sang Luoluo used a Crystal Core weapon to help kill several hundred of them.
• Sang Luoluo’s team arranged a plane from the base, finished harvesting the mutant beans, and Wang Qiang agreed to split the 20,000 Crystal Core cost.
• The teams boarded the plane and flew safely back to the base, where Sang Luoluo learned from Sang Yunpu that he and Xiao Li were safe.
• At the competition hall, Sang Luoluo told the staff she needed a larger warehouse and more people to help unload her supplies.

Sang Luoluo’s team turned in a vast haul of food and mutant animal carcasses, then collected weapons and met with Sang Tong. Sang Tong offered Sang Luoluo a place among the base’s upper ranks and showed her the fighter plane he had promised.

• Sang Luoluo exchanged honey and mutant long beans at the competition hall and offered mutant animal carcasses in return for their Crystal Cores.
• Sang Luoluo unloaded carcasses from many mutant species, impressing the staff and competition hall leaders with the size of the team’s haul and its lead in the rankings.
• Sang Tong called Sang Luoluo, confirmed she would receive the promised plane, and invited her to his office.
• Sang Luoluo’s team selected Crystal Core weapons, bombs, and digging machines, then ate on the way to Sang Tong’s office.
• Sang Tong welcomed the team, showed them the fighter plane, and offered Sang Luoluo a role among the base’s upper ranks that could lead to her taking over from him.
• Sang Luoluo agreed to consider the offer and suggested Sang Mei or Sang Jia might be better successors; Sang Tong asked her to look after Sang Jia if she met him in the wild.

Sang Luoluo and her team flew to the dense forest to resume their mission, picked up Xiao Li, and pushed deeper into the wilderness. The chapter ended as Qi Feng detected active mutated plants ahead and Sang Luoluo prepared her chainsaw.

• Sang Luoluo and her team visited Sang Yunpu at the camp, where he warned them about the dangers of the forest and asked them to take Xiao Li along.
• Sang Luoluo agreed to bring Xiao Li, and the group flew by plane to the place where they had stopped the previous day.
• Sang Luoluo's team entered the dense forest, fought off mutated animals, and collected Crystal Cores.
• Chuanchuan warned the group about something ahead, and Qi Feng detected that they were approaching active mutated plants.
• Qi Feng told Sang Luoluo to ready her Crystal Core chainsaw as the team prepared to face the plants.

Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng’s group tested ways to cross a forest overrun by powerful mutant plants and used heated armor to travel through it. After mutant vines covered their vehicle overnight, they ate, cut their way out, and prepared to assess the danger outside.

• Sang Luoluo sensed a giant Crystal Core in a pit, flew to retrieve it, and escaped a vine that caught her ankle with help from her chainsaw.
• Qi Feng explained that mutant plants were likely feeding on mutant animals, and the group tested suppressant, chainsaws, protective suits, and heated armor against them.
• Sang Luoluo found the heated armor worked best, so the group wore it and walked through the dense forest until nightfall.
• Sang Luoluo placed mutant wild orchids in the vehicle, then woke to find vines wrapping around it; she saw they posed no immediate threat and went back to sleep.
• By morning, mutant leaves and vines completely covered the vehicle, so Sang Luoluo cut through them with her spiritual power and chainsaw, allowing everyone to get out safely.
