Chapter 69: Level 3 Crystal Core Easily Taken

Many of the holes were newly dug. The level 3 mutant rat that had been hiding in the dark finally revealed its true form and rushed over here.

Looking at the killing mad Chen Ri, Pu Zhi silently lowered his eyes and deliberately led him towards the third-level rat.

Just when everyone thought the rats had been killed and were about to pick up the bags to collect the bodies, Pu Zhi shouted, "Oh no, there's something wrong with our feet!"

Before he could finish his words, a group of rats crawled out from the ground and almost surrounded everyone.

In just a breath, someone was entangled and bitten, which scared Du Taoke so much that he put up the protective shield immediately.

The third-level mutant rats mixed in and looked for the right opportunity to attack. Du Tao had limited abilities and was gnawed by so many rats that he only lasted ten seconds before breaking into pieces.

The third-level mutant rat had already set its sights on Chen Ri, who was the closest to it, and rushed up immediately as soon as the protective shield was broken.

And Chen Ri was actually still looking at the other side. Pu Zhi cursed inwardly for being useless, and a card in the space disappeared as she wished.

The third-level mutant rat screamed, and Chen Ri reacted and immediately used his supernatural power on the rat that was about to jump.

The next second it was crushed into meat paste, leaving only a light green crystal core.

Seeing such a light-colored crystal core, Chen Ri's eyes lit up, and he immediately reached into the rat group and picked up the crystal core. He didn't care even if a level one mutant rat bit him. It was level three! Level three!

As long as he has this crystal core, he can upgrade to level three! No need to collect level one crystal cores one by one!

Once the leader of the mutant rats died, the other rats lost their center and were quickly defeated.

The remaining mice also ran away.

Chen Ri took out the third-level crystal core in front of everyone and boasted loudly: "This is the third-level mutant rat I killed. From now on, I will have third-level superpowers. I got it by my own strength."

The other members of Team 3 looked at the crystal core. It would be a lie to say they were not envious. Anyone could get it, why did it have to be this uncultured person?

"Hey, fat guy, my hand is injured, please treat it for me!" Chen Ri was very proud of getting the third-level crystal core and ordered Du Tao.

Du Tao pursed his lips in grievance. He didn't like being called Fatty, but they were teammates now and he was responsible for treating everyone.

Just as he was about to walk over, Liu Chuchun stretched out his hand to stop him and said coldly, "He has a name. If you can't learn how to call his name, don't treat him."

How could Chen Ri, who thought she was in the limelight, tolerate such treatment? She was just an ordinary person, yet she dared to treat a superpower who was about to be upgraded to level three like this.

Bai Feng saw something was wrong and hurriedly pulled his arm, then smiled kindly at Du Tao and said, "Xiao Du is fine, we just need to bandage him, so we won't bother you."

Du Tao nodded ignorantly. He didn't like that man, so it would be better not to treat him.

After the little episode, everyone took bags and tried to collect the corpses of the second-level mutant rats, and of course the first and second-level crystal cores.

It’s a pity that the corpse of the level 3 mutant rat has turned into meat paste. I don’t know if it can be replaced.

This was the first time that Chen Ri killed a level three mutant animal. He was so proud that he even packed up the meat paste.

By the time all the corpses and crystal cores were collected, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning.

The temperature reached 50 degrees. Under the high temperature, the bodies of the mutant mice rotted at a very fast speed. The fermentation and the stench of blood and flesh were really indescribable. Under the dual attack of high temperature and stench, everyone was dizzy and just wanted to go back quickly.

This time, we harvested 6121 first-level crystal cores, 46 second-level crystal cores, and 40 second-level corpses that were still usable.

Because Chen Ri took the corpse and crystal core of the third-level mutant mouse, Team Three only took 10 second-level crystal cores, and Team Two took 36. The first-level crystal cores and corpses were divided equally.

Although the operation was supposed to be an equal split, the level 3 mutant rat was indeed killed by Chen Ri alone, so Team 2 didn't want to tear each other apart.

On the way back, we killed some zombies, and the crystal core belongs to whoever killed them.

As soon as he returned to the gate of the base, Chen Ri showed off in front of the on-duty personnel.

Zhao Yunyao and Xia Guang couldn't stand his smug look and kept complaining to Pu Zhi.

Pu Zhi appeared indifferent on the surface, but she was extremely happy in her heart. It was good to show off. She was afraid that if she didn't show off, Jiang Quan wouldn't know him...

After entering the base, everyone did not go directly to the supply point to exchange, but entered area one.

The person in charge of reception turned out to be the inventor of a special insecticide.

He was thin with high cheekbones, in his early thirties, wearing a white coat and a pair of thick black-framed glasses. His hair was slightly yellow, and there was a dark blue mark under his eyes, obviously from not getting enough sleep.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Qiuzhi. You are the first group to bring back prey. You have helped the base a lot."

He shook hands with the two team leaders gently and humbly, without any airs of a scientific researcher.

"Dr. Lin, you're too polite. We have a total of 40 level 2 corpses and one level 3 mutant rat corpse. It's a bit rotten, so I don't know if it's okay." Bai Feng spoke first, and then took out the prey.

It was the hottest time of the year and the smell of the dead rats was not very pleasant.

What's more, the pile of meat paste that Chen Ri took out was even more disgusting.

Lin Qiuzhi put his left finger against his nose, just glanced from a distance, quickly distanced himself, and waved his hand to let the assistant behind him take over.

"Okay, thank you for your help, but the body of a Level 3 mutant mouse is a little difficult to identify. I need you to produce crystal cores as evidence."

Hearing Lin Qiuzhi's words, Chen Ri immediately took out the crystal core from his pocket and threw it to him: "Here, I will never lie to you."

Lin Qiuzhi frowned and dodged with disgust. The assistant behind him caught it in a hurry and returned it to him after confirming that it was real.

Pu Zhi looked at Lin Qiuzhi in surprise. Did he have mysophobia? It looked like a serious case. If the raw materials for the pesticide required the corpses of insects, how could he dare to do it...

Scientific researchers may all have their own quirks, and Pu Zhi didn’t think too much about it. Her main task now was to lure Jiang Quan out.

After the handover, the two teams quickly left Area 1. A dedicated person would later transfer the points to the team’s account.

At night, Pu Zhi was bored and scrolling through the base's APP. Just below the latest notification, she saw Chen Ri's message.

: Level 3 crystal core, easily obtained.

It’s also a selfie with a picture of the person holding a crystal core.

Many people from Districts 3 and 4 left messages for him, praising him for his skills. He was so proud of himself that he posted several messages about how bravely he killed zombies and how powerful his ability compression was.

He almost said that there was no one before him and no one after him.

Of course, there is a lot of exaggeration in it, but it cannot stop ordinary people's yearning for superpowers.
