Hong Yan was still standing at the back of the carriage looking at the head of the mutated chimpanzee. He was in charge of guarding the supplies this time, so he didn't get to see what the mutated chimpanzee looked like.
The plant healer slightly opened his hand, and all the shrubs outside the cave withered. A healing power flowed into everyone's bodies, and their depleted strength was immediately restored. Bob also felt much better.
Xiao Qi controlled the metal to bring back some dry branches to start a fire, and Hong Yan, being perceptive this time, lit a fire.
At noon, everyone simply ate some nutritional supplements to tide them over, and then cooked a proper meal before starting their tasks in the afternoon.
Xiaoqi stretched out her hands to warm them by the fire, trying to start a conversation out of boredom: "This mutated chimpanzee's skin is really thick today. If Bob hadn't broken through its skin, I wouldn't have been able to cut it."
Bob sat to the side, not saying a word as he usually did.
Xiao Qi wondered why he seemed unhappy today, and Jia Lu chimed in: "Yeah, and the captain has been carrying the load for a long time too. Everyone has worked hard."
Harpos smiled weakly and replied, "We're all teammates, it's only right."
No one spoke, but the word "should" stung Bob. He was being a babysitter for everyone, and everyone thought it was his duty?
...
Sunday, 7 p.m.
They were unlucky this time; they only managed to capture two A-level mutated creatures in two days. One of them ran too fast and they couldn't catch it, and the other's companion came to their aid too quickly, so they had no choice but to retreat.
Losy has class tomorrow and is heading back now, taking the mutated chimpanzee's head with her.
Bob helped Losie load her things into the car. Losie thanked him and got into the driver's seat: "I'm going back now. Be careful."
After a brief farewell, Losi drove away alone.
The way back was slightly different from the way there. Losi followed the map she had downloaded in advance, but as soon as the car reached the intersection of the Middle Ring Road and the Outer Ring Road, a wave of energy came from very close!
She stepped on the brakes. Should she go or not?
The vehicles and combat uniforms are all documented and are more advanced than those used in schools. They can go on a mission that lasts for half a month without being damaged by radiation, unless they are under high-intensity radiation continuously.
Doing it herself would arouse suspicion, so Losi reached for the water bottle beside her, gulped down two mouthfuls, and realized that her sudden stop was also suspicious, so she simply used drinking water as an excuse.
She put down the water bottle; she had already come up with a solution. She silently started the vehicle, driving with one hand while trying to reach the supplies bag on the passenger side with the other.
She was about to crash into a tree without noticing, and in her panic, she accidentally stepped on the accelerator and frantically turned the steering wheel, causing the car to suddenly change direction and fly away.
When she "realized" and stepped on the brakes, the left side of the car hit a rock quite hard, and she slammed heavily onto the steering wheel, accidentally crushing the electronic devices on her clothes.
Losi clutched her chest; it still hurt a little.
Now she has a reason to get out of the car. She's just learning to drive, and this happened by accident. There's nothing she can do about it.
After landing, the energy fluctuation was only about a hundred meters away. There were recording devices at the front and rear of the vehicle, and Losi controlled the vehicle's direction very well, so there was no need to worry about being photographed.
She pursed her lips, took out her tools, and pretended to get out of the car to check them.
Summon Little Right, Losi handed it a shovel and threw a stone to mark the location for it to dig.
He, meanwhile, was holding a wrench and tapping on the car here and there.
The recorders all make noise. If there's no sound when someone goes to dig for the source crystal, the inspectors will definitely notice something is wrong. So we can only send Xiao You. Xiao Zuo is a bit difficult to control, so it's better not to release him for now.
The clanging and banging sounds drowned out the last possible sound of digging.
Xiao You was quite strong, and since the source crystal wasn't located very deep, he dug it out in less than ten minutes.
Watching Xiao You shakily lift up the source crystal, Losi admitted that she was shocked. This was the largest piece she had ever seen. Putting aside the purity, just its one-meter length alone must have weighed at least several hundred kilograms.
Following Luo Xi's instructions, Xiao You delivered the items along a fixed route. Luo Xi reached out and took the items, along with the source crystal, into her spatial storage.
The vehicle's body is dented, and half of a panel covering the internal structure has fallen off the bottom, but it's not a major problem.
Having obtained the goods, Losi returned to the car and continued driving.
...
Back at the base, the vehicle was handed over to specialists for handling. After inspection, Losi returned to the lounge, cleaned herself up briefly, and changed into her own clothes.
Upon opening the door, Losi handed the damaged combat uniform to a female employee who was guarding it.
She took a look and said, "They're all broken. The new combat suits should be ready next week. Is there anything that needs to be adjusted?"
"It'll grow two centimeters longer. I've been growing quite fast lately. Can I go back now?" Losi asked, yawning. She hadn't been sleeping well for the past two days.
Female employee: "Okay, there's nothing else. You can go back now."
...
It was already 10:30 p.m. when I got back to the dorm. Nicole wasn't there, and there was a surveillance camera in the living room.
Losi glanced at the bracelet. Nicole said she wouldn't be here until tomorrow, and the surveillance cameras were installed for security reasons, only in the living room.
After entering the room and checking to make sure no one was there, Losi slipped into her spatial dimension.
The one-meter-long and one-wide source crystal emitted a faint blue light, becoming the most dazzling presence in the space.
As soon as Losi approached, Xiao Zuo and Xiao You came over to ask for a model. She casually touched it a couple of times and then reached out to the huge source crystal.
Six minutes later, the source crystal had turned grayish-brown. Based on Losi's experience, it was estimated that it contained about 300,000 units of energy.
The energy content isn't high, but the key point is that the area of the ash soil has more than doubled, allowing for the planting of more plants.
Losi didn't know where the energy was being added this time. After testing it repeatedly, she discovered that it was being added to healing.
A wound that is three centimeters long and one millimeter deep can heal completely in just ten minutes without the use of any medicine, leaving only a faint scar, which disappears completely in fifteen minutes.
Currently, this ability isn't very strong; someone who is seriously injured and bleeding continuously will still die if not treated in time.
Furthermore, this energy can only be applied to oneself and cannot be used to heal others.
She then tested it a few times and found that the healing was controllable, so she didn't have to worry about recovering too quickly in front of others.
Losi thought it was a good deal to exchange 300,000 for a controllable cure.
Losi reached out and gave Xiaoyou 1000 energy points, which was a reward for his hard work in mining the source crystal.
Xiao Zuo was extremely envious. He stretched out his branch, but still didn't dare to make any further movements.
Losi looked at what she had planted; it was growing very well and would be ready for harvest in another two or three days.
Especially the two new varieties she planted, probably because of the liquid that was used to support their growth, they are already showing signs of bearing fruit, a day faster than the other plants.
