Chapter 42: The Big Spaceman’s First Mission (2)
"Hmm? Where is this? Is it the entrance to the plane?"
"Yes, it's in the secret realm."
"Wow, the secret realm is really a natural environment? I always thought it was a long passage as the name implies. I have been curious about how to fight in the passage since I was a child."
“Haha, you have a rich imagination. But it is said that people’s ideas were similar to yours in the early days. It was not until they drove the enemy back to the plane channel and followed it in that they realized what it was like inside.”
Ye Na lowered the car window, stuck her head out and looked around, and found that the light came from the bright lights around her, not natural light.
She looked down at her phone. It was a little after 9 in the morning before she came in, but now it was a little after 9 in the evening of the day before.
"Time has changed. Today has become yesterday. We have gone back 12 hours. Is the time difference so big?"
"Yes, the time in the secret realm is a full 12 hours later than the outside world. Everything else remains the same. How can the time difference be so accurate? The scientific community has not yet reached a definitive conclusion. Anyway, it is quite convenient for daily use."
"That's right. Then we should travel overnight?"
"Yes, this is the entrance and exit of the secret realm of Dongling City. Let's continue walking and rest in the next town."
"it is good."
The convoy continued to move forward. After leaving the town, it was a pitch-black night road. Fortunately, the highway was well built and it seemed that there was no speed limit. We drove very fast all the way.
At this speed, it was past midnight before we finally arrived at the town where we planned to rest.
When carrying out missions with the army, the place to rest is of course the military camp.
"Deputy Captain Shen, do you want to have dinner?" Ye Nai asked while unbuckling his seat belt as the car stopped.
"Yes, let's divide the rooms first and see what everyone wants to eat."
In just over ten minutes, the soldiers who were often on missions and were quick and agile had divided the rooms. Deputy Captain Shen took Ye Na to each room to ask the team members what they wanted to eat.
The food taken out from the space was exactly the same as when it was packed. They were all freshly made food in the cafeteria, hot and scalding.
Everyone happily took the food they wanted to eat and praised the mission as a blessing.
"Xiao Ye, have you tried the longest preservation time of your space?" Deputy Captain Shen asked while holding a bowl of noodles and mixing it.
“I haven’t tried it on purpose, but I once bought a box of frozen fruit slices from a supermarket and left it in my space for a week. When I remembered it, I thought it had gone bad, but it was actually fine, just as it was when I bought it. I ate it and didn’t get sick.
Ye Na also eats noodles, but she eats soup noodles. When packing them, the soup and noodles are separated. She just takes a portion of hot soup, pours it into the noodles and stirs it. It is easier than making instant noodles. She doesn't have to wait and can eat it right away.
"So it should be kept fresh for at least a week? Okay, I'll need you for similar tasks in the future."
Yenna smiled so much that her eyes narrowed. Now she had a stable part-time job.
He cares so much about the preservation ability of her space. This mission is to enter the secret realm to get supplies. You can guess without asking that it may be related to exotic beast meat. Otherwise, what other specialties in the secret realm need to be preserved?
After eating noodles, I took a shower, took out a portable electric fan, put it on the table, plugged it in, facing away from people, adjusted it to a low setting and shook my head, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The room is equipped with central air conditioning, but the temperature cannot be adjusted. With four people in one room, it was a bit hot. Turning on the fan for air circulation made the room much better.
I had a good sleep and was woken up by the alarm clock at 6 o'clock in the morning. After washing up, I served food to everyone and set off on time at 7 o'clock.
The whole day was spent on the road, passing through one town after another, and finally arrived at the destination at around 8 o'clock in the evening. As soon as Ye Nai got off the car, Deputy Captain Shen handed her a pistol and a magazine.
She quickly grasped the thing in her hand and looked into the distance vigilantly.
"Is it so dangerous here?"
"This is the rear area of the front line. When the team leaves the town along this line, they are entering the front line. They have to come back here for supplies, so there are always abnormal creatures in this area. Don't even think about sleeping. Even when you go to the toilet, you have to be alert."
"understood."
Ye Na put the magazine into the space, held the gun in his left hand, and quietly released the mutant spores with his right hand.
Since this is considered the front line, it is a perfect place for her lovely fungus.
In her sight, the released spores divided into tiny torrents and flowed in all directions.
Ye Na was very excited. It was worthy of being the front line. There were so many prey.
The place they lived in was still a military camp. It was still early and there were many people doing outdoor activities. Ye Na saw that they all had a murderous aura and wondered if they had just come down from the front line to rest.
While the rooms were being assigned, Ye Na began to receive warm energy one after another, making her feel as if she was immersed in comfortable hot water and she almost hummed.
Ye Na bit her tongue secretly and drew her attention back to the business in time. After the rooms were allocated, they were free to move around, either asking her for food or going to the town to find food.
After having eaten several meals in the cafeteria along the way, no one wanted to continue eating, so they all dispersed and ran away.
In the blink of an eye, not only Captain Mei, but also Deputy Captain Shen who had been traveling with them disappeared. Ye Na patted his butt and went to the street.
She also wanted to see the night view of the secret realm.
Of course she carried a pistol with her. Although she didn't have a gun license, the secret realm had its own rules. She just didn't expect that the gun would be handed to her without any reason.
He took out the electric bike from the space and rode it from the beginning to the end of the town. Many shops had signs in front of them saying they were open all day. Ye Na chose one to have dinner at, then returned to the barracks to rest.
Timid, afraid to walk around.
The main reason is that she receives more and more feedback energy, which shows that the spores have been growing and reproducing into hyphae, and the hyphae then release new spores, and this cycle continues, constantly capturing new prey.
Living alien plants and animals will struggle when being decomposed by mycelium and it is impossible for them to be eaten as if they were dead.
When they struggle, the noise they make will attract other predators.
These predators will in turn become new food for the mycelium.
As long as the mycelium spreads out over a large enough area, any abnormal organisms that come in will become their nutrients.
Just like the garbage dump deep in Danger Zone 5, her mycelium has already spread across the entire site. It looks like the awakened ones are cleaning it up every day, but in fact, her mycelium is working hard regardless of day or night.
Otherwise, how was the giant alien plant exposed that day?
Thinking of this, Ye Nai decided to go back to sleep and not wander around. What if some abnormal creature was not caught by the mycelium web and sneaked into the town? With her fighting ability and small pistol, that would be easy prey.
Before returning to the gate of the military camp, shrill alarms sounded all around, and then bright searchlights appeared above their heads, piercing the night sky and sweeping towards the rear of the military camp.
