Chapter 48 Second Mission (3)
Even though the awakened ones earn a lot, they also spend a lot.
Ye Na is now not at all worried about how to replenish her supernatural powers when they are exhausted. As long as this is still a carbon-based world and there is organic matter, her mycelium will continue to provide her with energy.
As for whether it will be needed in the future, that is a matter for the future.
So when she saw the heart cores, she really wanted to keep them as collection pieces and try to see how many she could collect in her lifetime.
I have been sleeping in the living room for so many years, and my things can be packed into a few boxes. It seemed that I had no material desires. But once I had space, the desire to hoard things arose. I wanted to collect things. No one taught me, it was completely an inner instinct.
The convoy ran for most of the day and arrived at the second front-line camp before dark.
After unloading the cargo, we rested for a night and then set off again.
After driving for more than three hours, Ye Nai glanced at the time and estimated how long it would take before she would stop for lunch, when she suddenly heard the driver in front shouting.
"Hold on! Enemy attack!"
Ye Na wanted to grab the handrail beside her, but the soldier next to her pushed her to the floor of the carriage at a faster speed.
When he was knocked down, Ye Nai cushioned his hands in time to prevent his forehead from hitting the floor head-on.
As soon as she jumped down, she felt the car's tail swing violently. If she hadn't been pressed down by someone, she would have rolled to the other end of the car.
"Fuck, is it a rape or a cult?"
Ye Na heard Captain Lu's yelling and cursing.
No one answered him. The car was still moving in a serpentine manner, twisting back and forth greatly. Ye Nai even heard the sound of artillery fire behind the car. If it weren't for the driver's superb skills, the shells would have hit their car.
Although Ye Na couldn't move, she was not idle. The ventilation vent on the top of the carriage was still open. She used all her strength to throw out spores, went out through the ventilation vent, and chased the damn enemy outside.
No matter whether they are rapists or members of a cult, they are all allowed to die and our bodies will not be collected.
I don't know how far the car drove in one breath, but when I felt that the twisting amplitude was not that great, Ye Nai felt a sense of relief. She was dizzy and was pulled up and pushed back into her seat.
"Okay, we should be out of the range of the gunfire."
Captain Lu and several soldiers withdrew from the observation ports in various parts of the carriage, wiped their sweat, and grinned at Ye Nai.
"Are you not scared?"
Ye Na shook her head. "It's okay. Since I accepted this mission, I have to be prepared."
"Okay, as long as you're not afraid."
"Are we still heading to our destination?"
"I don't know whether to rush to the camp or go back to deal with the enemies who fired at us. Everything depends on the lead car."
"We have all been attacked, and the camp ahead might also be under attack."
"It's very likely, but they have more people than us, so they will most likely turn around and attack."
"Row."
Ye Na didn't ask how to implement this tactic. She was even worried that under the attack of the spores thrown earlier, when their convoy went back and ambushed them, there would be no survivors of the enemies.
Because there was a high probability that this trip would be in vain, Ye Na felt at ease, and her expression was certainly calm as well, without any sign of fear or worry.
Taking advantage of the time while rushing on the road, everyone checked their equipment, fastened their helmets and bulletproof vests again, and counted the ammunition.
I drove like this for more than ten minutes and finally slowed down, but I didn't stop. I just slowed down enough to make visual observation.
Captain Lu and the others were looking out through the observation port, and Ye Na couldn't squeeze in to watch as well, so she just sat there patiently, even having the leisure to take out some snacks to eat.
She was eating snacks with a trance-like expression, but in fact she was communicating with the mycelium, looking for the enemy's corpses and telling them not to attack our soldiers.
After searching for a long time, they only found two bodies. According to her instructions, they were killed and thrown where they were, without any signs of decomposition.
It's a pity for Yenna, but she threw out the spores for a short time and was still in the stage of self-reproduction and spreading over a large area. It was already very good to kill two of them. They were the unlucky guys who happened to step into the attack circle. If they didn't die, no one would die.
The horn in the carriage sounded, announcing the discovery of two enemy bodies. After a while, Ye Nai heard the sound of gunfire, and it seemed that other enemies had been found and exchanged fire.
The car she was riding in was also hit by bullets. She could hear a dull ding-dong sound, but the steel plates of the car body were thick, so as long as it was not bombarded by artillery, it would only be a few bullets and would not hurt.
The car started and stopped, and Captain Lu and his men fired a few shots whenever they had the chance, but most of the time they kept their guns at attention.
The loudspeaker in the carriage occasionally announced that several more enemies had been killed.
I was almost done with the big bag of snacks in my hand when I finally heard the broadcast announcing the end of the battle.
As soon as the broadcast ended, the car accelerated suddenly, and stopped after two or three minutes.
"Everyone get off the car, clean up the battlefield, and restock ammunition."
As the radio broadcast said this, the soldier sitting at the back door of the car opened the door and jumped out first.
Ye Na also went down to get some fresh air, but did not go far. He just drank some water by the car door and watched from afar as the soldiers spread out the shrouds and packed up the enemies who had been beaten like a sieve. The logistics team members first took out the ammunition from the space and then put the bodies in.
After collecting the bodies, only a portion of the ammunition could be put in, and the rest had to be distributed to each team on the spot.
"Are we collecting the enemy's bodies?" Ye Na approached a soldier who was standing guard over the car and asked curiously.
"Well, on the surface it's humanitarian, not leaving human corpses in the secret realm to become food for alien plants and beasts."
"actually?"
"Actually, is it all over if they die? We'll take their genes and faces back and enter them into the database to create a blood relationship table."
"Blood relationship table? Is there a family relationship?"
"Too many. We traditionally believe that blood ties are the most stable relationships. Isn't that just like pyramid schemes? If only one person in a family goes astray, the whole family can be dragged into it in a few years."
"The rest of the family is brainless?"
"money."
"understood."
Captain Lu and his men brought back the ammunition. They took some of it with them, and Ye Nai helped to store the rest in her own space.
If you put it on the floor of the car, there won't even be room to put your feet, so you have to put your feet on the ammunition box, and sit in a curled up position. That would be so awkward, with no balance at all. If the car shakes, you'll be like a tumbler.
Just as we were getting ready to get on the bus and set off, the captain of the lead bus came over.
"Ye Nai."
"Yes, what do you want, Captain?"
"How much space do you have? Can we take our cars in?"
"Yes." Yenna said without hesitation.
"Okay, our actions have alerted the camp. The enemy there is retreating. We are going to chase and intercept them now. We may get off the car and walk at any time. You should take the car back when the time comes. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to return if it is damaged. You should follow Captain Lu closely and don't fall behind."
"clear."
The whole team got back on the bus and set off at full speed to the destination.
The car was driving very fast and no one was chatting. Captain Lu and the others were checking their guns over and over again.
Ye Na was jealous and wanted a gun too.
She took out her cell phone, opened the shooting class results, and handed it to Captain Lu to see.
"Can I have a pistol?"
Her pistol shooting results were still a stable seven or eight rings. Such stability was also an advantage. Without saying a word, Captain Lu took off his pistol and two magazines and gave them to her.
"There are magazines in the ammunition box. Take a few more. You don't need to write a report when firing a gun in the secret realm."
