Chapter 881 881: Attacked From Both Sides ( 2 )
"General Tolstoy, my team should be strong enough to assist you even when we are outside, when your team is in danger," Chen Wenwu said with a chuckle.
After he said this, he flicked his fingers, and the next moment, the ice needles turned into a small ice flower and fell on top of the man's head.
"Comrade, it's just a small gift. You don't have to give me such a grand gesture," he added with a grin.
Although the members of Richard's team were unhappy and offended by Chen Wenwu's arrogant action, they had to admit that the Phantom Team was much stronger than they were. If they could cooperate, then their chance of completing the mission would be higher.
If the members were able to reach this conclusion, so did Richard as the General. He made up his mind and said, "Vice Captain Zhang, I agree to your suggestion. My team will team up with your team."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan smiled and took several steps forward. Reaching out his hand, he said, "Happy cooperation."
Richard glanced at his hand for a moment before he reached out and shook it firmly. Since they couldn't stay out for too long, they quickly shared their discoveries after they entered the dwellings.
When they were done, Feng Yun took out a piece of Sthanam crystal from his space and asked, "Is this the devil seed you are talking about?"
The moment Richard saw the crystal, he nodded and said, "This crystal contains more energy compared to the zombie crystal core, but the radiation is very high. Holding it close to you will cause damage to your body."
When the Phantom Team members heard this, they were taken aback. After a moment of hesitation, Chen Qianfeng asked, "General, are you sure we are talking about the same item?"
"Are you saying that our General is lying?" a woman asked sharply.
Raising his hand, Chen Qianfeng replied, "I didn't say that."
After a moment of pause, he took out a piece of Sthanam crystal and showed it to everyone. Then, he absorbed the energy until the crystal turned into a handful of black dust in his palm.
Seeing their shock, he continued, "You said that the devil seed was harmful and had high radiation. But this crystal has no radiation at all, and my team members have been using it to replace the crystal cores."
"Even after we absorb the energy, we don't feel anything. Not only that, it can even boost your mental strength," he added.
The members nodded in agreement with his words.
Richard frowned and asked, "Can I take a look at the crystal?"
"Sure," Chen Qianfeng nodded and gave him a small piece.
The size of the crystal was only as big as a pinky nail, but it was really the devil seed.
While the appearance and characteristics were the same, Richard couldn't feel any radiation when he held it in his palm. Instead, he felt a flow of cold energy entering his body.
After he came into contact with the devil seed today, he felt more tired than usual, and his energy was depleting. But in just a few seconds, he noticed that the pain caused by his depleted energy was lessened, and his energy was recovering.
"General, how about you try to absorb the energy and see for yourself?" Xiao Qi suggested.
Under his team members' worried gazes, Richard nodded and absorbed the energy from the black crystal. As they said, the energy was more abundant compared to the crystal cores.
Although the energy was cold, it was soothing and calmed his tense mind. He even felt his mind was clearer than before, and his senses were sharper.
It took him 20 minutes to absorb all the energy inside the crystal. Compared to Chen Qianfeng, who only needed a few minutes, his speed was very slow.
Seeing this, the Phantom Team members exchanged glances.
It turned out that they were very talented compared to the masses. They thought that their talents were low, but after seeing Richard's speed of absorbing the energy, they realized that they shouldn't compare themselves with their Captain in the first place.
Indeed, normal people shouldn't compare themselves to a pervert, shameless beast.
While the members were roasting their Captain in their minds, Richard and his members were stunned. It took them a long time to regain their composure.
"How could it be possible?"
"Is it really the devil seed?"
"Someone tried to absorb the energy before and ended up dying from the radiation. It's impossible to remove the radiation, so the mutants are not allowed to use it."
One after another, they voiced their shock and disbelief.
Right now, not only they, but even Zhang Yuan and his members were confused. From their words, the black crystal should be very dangerous. They also didn't know why the crystal given by their Sister-in-law had no radiation at all.
To protect Jiao Lizhi's secret, Zhang Yuan changed the topic. "Now that we have confirmed that the devil seed and the black crystal are the same thing, everything will be easier."
"My team's mission is to find the location of the mine. As long as your team can give us a rough map of the mine's location, we will ensure the safety of your team."
Hearing this, Richard thought for a moment and said, "I will give you the map in three days."
"Okay."
After they reached an agreement, Richard asked, "Vice Captain Zhang, can I ask for some of the black crystals for my members?"
"During our stay, we will come into contact with the devil seeds for at least 12 hours a day. After absorbing the black crystals, I can feel that the damage caused by the radiation is removed," he explained.
Knowing that he was asking for the crystals to protect his members' lives, Zhang Yuan nodded. He glanced at his members, and they took out some crystals. They distributed the crystals to everyone, each person getting three pieces, enough for them until the agreement day.
