Chapter Summaries

After reaching the limits of her ability training, Sang Luoluo stocked a new seafood panel and rejected bases’ offers to monopolize her farm’s food. Dr. Wang then asked her to join a food-for-weapons mission to distant Base No. 32, and she remained reluctant despite assurances of protection and payment.

• Sang Luoluo completed half a month of training, learning to control weapons with her mental power and float through the air, while black Crystal Cores helped strengthen her ability.

Sang Luoluo left for Base No. 32 with Qi Feng and two S-rank Guard squads to complete a laboratory mission, hoping to obtain life serum for her brother and Qi Xue. Just after the planes left the base, a flock of mutant birds forced them to descend, and bird droppings splattered across Sang Luoluo’s window.

Sang Luoluo and Zhan Qun’s team fought off mutated birds while traveling by plane, and Sang Luoluo secretly used her ability to capture and kill several of them. An unknown force lured more birds to the planes with pheromones, forcing the team to abandon the lead plane and its supplies as Yan Lang’s squad crossed to the rear plane under attack.

• Zhan Qun ordered the planes to fly low as mutated birds pursued them, and Qi Feng directed the team to fight with Crystal Core weapons instead of accelerating.
