Chapter 69: Level 3 Crystal Core Easily Taken
Many of the holes were newly dug. The third-level 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 her 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! The ground is broken!"
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's ability was limited, and he was bitten by so many rats that he only lasted ten seconds before being broken.
The third-level mutant rat had already set its sights on Chen Ri, who was the closest to it, and immediately rushed up as soon as the protective shield was broken.
And Chen Ri was actually still looking at the other side. Pu Zhi cursed him inwardly for being useless, and a card in the space disappeared as she wished.
The third-level mutant rat screamed, and Chen Ri reacted immediately and 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. He immediately reached into the rat swarm and picked up the crystal core. Even if a level one mutant rat bit him, he didn't care. It was level three! Level three!
As long as he has this crystal core, he can reach level three! No need to painstakingly collect level one crystal cores one by one!
Once the leader of the mutant rats died, the other rats lost their leader 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 this through my own strength."
The other members of Team Three looked at the crystal core and would be lying if they said they weren't envious. Anyone could get it, why did it have to be this uncultured person?
"Hey, fat guy, my hand is injured, 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 blocked his way with his hand and said coldly, "He has a name. If you can't learn how to call his name, then don't treat him."
Chen Ri, who thought she was in the limelight, could not tolerate such treatment. She was just an ordinary person, yet she dared to treat a superpower who was about to be promoted to level three like this.
Bai Feng noticed something was wrong and quickly pulled his arm. Then he looked at Du Tao with a kind smile and said, "Xiao Du is fine. We can just bandage it here. We won't bother you."
Du Tao nodded ignorantly. He didn't like that person, so it would be better not to treat him.
After the incident, everyone took bags and tried hard to collect the corpses of the second-level mutant rats, and of course the first and second-level crystal cores.
It’s a pity about the corpse of the third-level mutant rat. It 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 Celsius, and under the scorching heat, the mutant rats' corpses rotted at an extremely fast rate. The fermentation combined with the stench of flesh and blood was indescribable. Under the dual assault of the heat and the stench, everyone was dizzy and wanted nothing more than to get back home quickly.
This time, we harvested 6,121 first-level crystal cores, 46 second-level cores, and 40 second-level corpses that were still usable.
Because Chen Ri took the corpse and crystal core of the third-level mutant rat, Team Three only took 10 second-level crystal cores, and Team Two took 36. The first-level crystal cores and corpse were divided equally.
Although the operation was supposed to be split equally, the level 3 mutant rat was indeed killed by Chen Ri alone, so Team 2 didn't want to lose face.
On the way back, we killed some zombies, and the crystal core belongs to whoever killed them.
As soon as he returned to the base gate, 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, but she was extremely happy inside. Showing off was great. She was even 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 1.
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're the first group to bring back prey. You've been a great help to the base."
He shook hands with the two captains gently and humbly, without any airs of a scientific researcher.
"Dr. Lin, you're too polite. We have a total of 40 level two corpses here, and one corpse of a level three mutant rat. It's a bit rotten, and 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 at it from a distance, quickly distanced himself, and waved to the assistant behind him to take over.
"Okay, thank you for your help, but the body of a Level 3 mutant rat is a little difficult to identify, so 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 again."
Lin Qiuzhi frowned and avoided it with disgust. The assistant behind him caught it in a hurry and returned it to him after confirming that it was real.
Pu Zhi glanced at Lin Qiuzhi in surprise. Did he have mysophobia? It looked quite serious. If the raw materials for the pesticide required the dead bodies of insects, how could he dare to do that?
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 transfer the points to the team’s account later.
At night, Pu Zhi was bored and browsing 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 himself holding a crystal core.
Many people from Districts 3 and 4 left him messages praising his prowess, which made him so proud 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 from yearning for superpowers.
