Everything is Well (Chapter 173)
Since discovering that consuming the hearts of polluted creatures could enhance her psychic power, Gu Luoyu no longer cared about the cost.
After returning to the team and getting into the car, she immediately multitasked by driving her psychic ability.
She searched for targets in the surroundings.
Initially, she thought there would no longer be any polluted creatures above A-level in this area, as the commotion caused by the pig and tiger herds would scare off solitary creatures, causing them to flee quickly.
Unexpectedly, she soon discovered an S-level polluted creature very close by.
If Gu Luoyu hadn't intercepted it, the team would have faced this S-level polluted creature in just a few minutes, and the number of survivors would have been uncertain.
The black psychic energy released by Gu Luoyu showed no fear. Like a shark smelling blood, it hurriedly headed towards the direction of the S-level polluted creature.
Gu Luoyu calmly followed behind, allowing the psychic energy to act freely.
Unlike pure psychic energy, Gu Luoyu's psychic ability could transform in various ways, granting her extraordinary powers, such as remote observation.
'Roar!'
When the black psychic energy finally found its target, a black blob bounced towards the polluted creature, causing it to roar in alertness and swipe with its massive bear claws.
Despite its large size, the creature was agile, and the black psychic energy was hit squarely.
However...
The black psychic energy had no life; it was merely a mass of energy.
No matter how the S-level polluted creature attacked, it couldn't harm it. Instead, the black psychic energy found a weakness.
Its smooth form instantly transformed into a sharp sword, piercing straight into the chest of the S-level polluted creature.
It was time for the black psychic energy's favorite feeding session.
Having entered the polluted creature's body, the black psychic energy could feast without interruption, quickly devouring a massive heart.
The S-level polluted creature could only watch helplessly as its heart disappeared.
The pain and fading life force made the S-level polluted creature wail in despair.
Despite possessing formidable attack power, it was of no use now.
The S-level polluted creature finally closed its eyes in unwillingness, completely dead.
The well-fed black psychic energy emerged from the corpse, bouncing towards the psychic ability controlled by Gu Luoyu.
In the next moment, the black psychic energy disappeared, returning to the sea of consciousness.
Along with it came a surge of pure energy, from the heart of the S-level polluted creature.
“My God, why are there still polluted creatures? I'm scared to death.”
The dying wail of the S-level polluted creature reached the team, making everyone in the car hold their breath and step on the accelerator, fearing another encounter with a swarm of polluted creatures.
Sitting in the back seat, Mo Lin was also terrified, cautiously moving closer to Ye Heiya.
He hoped to find a sense of security from this giant goose!
Damn it, from now on, the gold-digging team will only take safe and risk-free missions.
Dangerous missions deep into the wilderness should be left to more capable people!
He's just an ordinary person who wants to live a good life!
Just as Ye Heiya was annoyed and trying to push away Mo Lin, who wanted to hug it, Ye Sheng, sitting in the passenger seat, stared intently at Gu Luoyu.
It must be said, having an Esper as a girlfriend is really great!
Like now, she can multitask, busy devouring polluted creatures' hearts while also driving... Ye Sheng thought she could drive too, no need to push herself!
But Gu Luoyu just reached out and patted her head, saying such a small task was no trouble for her.
Even if Ye Sheng could drive, Gu Luoyu didn't want to tire her.
As for letting Mo Lin, who was just hitching a ride, drive...
That wasn't necessary either.
Compared to the dangers of letting others drive, it was better for her to do it herself, at least she could counterattack or evade immediately, reducing the chance of accidents.
“Gu Luoyu, Gu Luoyu, are you back?”
Ye Sheng quietly leaned in and called, not daring to touch her, fearing something might happen to Gu Luoyu.
When the polluted creature's scream sounded, she immediately guessed that Gu Luoyu's experiment was successful.
The black psychic energy was not inferior to the S-level polluted creature.
As for whether it was superior, that would require Gu Luoyu to explain herself. But after calling several times, Gu Luoyu didn't respond.
Ye Sheng, puzzled, leaned in closer, but the next second, before she could react, her arm was pulled.
She quickly fell into Gu Luoyu's embrace.
As Gu Luoyu happily wrapped her arms around Ye Sheng, who had 'walked into the trap,' she smiled and kissed Ye Sheng's forehead, placing her on her lap.
The overwhelming joy from the significant increase in psychic power made Gu Luoyu's excitement hard to contain.
Holding Ye Sheng, she kissed her forehead, cheeks, and then moved to her red lips. When Ye Sheng finally reacted, she was helpless.
Driving recklessly leads to tears from loved ones.
Although they were in a post-apocalyptic world, they still needed to watch the road carefully to avoid accidents.
Moreover, passionately kissing in front of Mo Lin and others was too embarrassing!
Thinking of this, Ye Sheng shyly curled her toes, too worried to fully immerse herself, forcing Gu Luoyu to let go. Gu Luoyu then lifted Ye Sheng's chin, letting her look around.
She saw that the black psychic energy had somehow divided the car's space into two.
The back seat was completely out of sight.
Looking at the steering wheel, a blob of black psychic energy was controlling it, helping to drive...
Seeing this, Ye Sheng couldn't help but pinch Gu Luoyu's cheek, no longer worried, and happily kissed her again and again.
The two, having just started their intimate relationship, couldn't control themselves.
But just as Ye Sheng was getting lost in the moment, she suddenly remembered her changed status, she was now pregnant and couldn't be reckless!
“Stop, stop, the baby, the baby!”
“...”
Gu Luoyu reluctantly stopped. Indeed, having a baby now was a mistake.
It was interfering with her closeness with Ye Sheng.
...
After testing the immense power of the black psychic energy, Gu Luoyu, unsatisfied in one aspect, immediately vented her frustration.
Consequently, every polluted creature they encountered on the way suffered.
Regardless of their level, all had their hearts devoured.
As a result, the team proceeded smoothly. The captains had initially thought that encountering swarms of polluted creatures before even reaching the depths of the wilderness was bad enough. If they got closer, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?
At that rate, their entire team would be wiped out!
Contrary to the captains' fears, everything went smoothly.
Even the few espers following them found it strange.
However, thanks to the smooth progress, even though they had lost two days at the start, they managed to shorten the journey by a full week.
The team soon arrived at the mission submission point, the base of the Esper Squad 1.
But...
Looking at the devastated base, with blood splattered everywhere and claw marks all around, it was clear that a severe attack had taken place!
