Chapter 52 Second Mission (7)

She could command the mycelium in the space to decompose the prey and leave her clean meat, which proved that the mycelium was indeed an extension of her will. Once she communicated seriously, she would get feedback immediately. It was like opening a game map in her mind, and the warriors hidden tightly by the lush weeds were all flashing, blinking like breathing lights.

With guidance, Ye Nai increased her speed, dodging the madly swinging vines while checking the condition of each warrior.

After searching all the way, they not only found Captain Lu Ban and his soldiers, but also found familiar logistics team members and members from other teams. As long as they were still alive, they miraculously saved their lives under the protection of the mycelium.

Eight other people died, but judging by their wounds, they did not die in pain.

The two vehicles destroyed by the gold-type enemies were also found and put into the space.

Among the survivors, some were conscious, some were unconscious, and a few were swept into the air and shot down by Ye Na before they turned into blood bags. They were injured even more, but they did not die.

Ye Na left a box of cigarettes and matches for everyone who was sober. She didn't smoke and didn't like secondhand smoke, but she had to admit that nicotine did have a positive effect at times like this.

Her appearance really boosted the morale of many people. After Ye Na left, three or five people regained the strength to shoot. They dragged their injured bodies to a better hiding place and aimed their guns at the waving vines in the air.

Finally, Ye Na found the captain.

When the captain was found, his legs were broken and blood was all over his body. He was accompanied by a soldier who was struggling between consciousness and coma and kept talking hysterically.

Judging from the bloodstains on the ground, it was the captain who dragged the soldiers to crawl to this position with great difficulty.

"...Who?!" Hearing the unusual noise, the captain who was resting with his eyes closed was about to raise his gun.

"Captain? It's me, Ye Nai." Ye Nai was lying in the weeds, not daring to show his head, and introduced himself first.

"Yenna?"

"Yes, it's me, don't shoot." Only then did Ye Na carefully push away the weeds in front of him, revealing his face.

After seeing the person clearly, the captain was obviously relieved.

"How did you get here? Are you the only one left?!"

"No, there is another soldier with the communications soldier. They are going to use the encrypted channel to call for reinforcements."

The captain, who had just relaxed a little, took a deep breath and said, "Do you have a walkie-talkie with you? Both of mine are broken. I need to know what happened to the others."

"Including me, there were fifty-one people, eight of whom died. The others were seriously injured but alive. The three enemies were not in good condition. They were sucked dry by the alien plants. They must have become food for the alien plants from the very beginning."

"really?"

"I just came here one by one."

The captain was now completely relaxed.

Ye Nai crouched down and nimbly rushed to the captain's side. He first checked the injuries of the two of them, then took out a tourniquet and tied it around them skillfully. He also broke off a few branches from the nearby bushes to fix and bandage the captain's broken leg.

When the captain saw the bloodstains on the outer packaging of the tourniquets in the box, he knew that what Ye Na said was true. Otherwise, where would the bloodstains come from on the brand new item? They must have been rubbed off when it was used.

While Ye Na was putting tourniquets on them, she also checked their injuries. The wounds that were originally bloody and mangled had stopped bleeding under the effect of the mycelium, but the weakness caused by the blood loss could not be made up, and they could only recover slowly by nursing their wounds.

The hysterical soldier was suffering from excessive blood loss. He had to try hard to stay awake, but he couldn't resist the drowsiness brought by weakness. It was really torturous.

Ye Na didn't dare put a cigarette in his mouth, for fear that the nicotine would relieve his pain, and if a person relaxed and fainted, it would be fatal.

The injury was under control, and the captain's mind came back to what Ye Na had said before.

"You are a civilian, you have not received any military training, how can you run around?"

"We separated because we found a seriously injured soldier. They had to guard him and call for help, so I had to act alone."

"Did we call out when the fight started? We haven't seen anyone in that camp yet." "We called out, but no one answered. The signalman suspected that the enemy had used a large jammer and was about to call out on the encrypted channel when this alien plant popped out. We just tried to run for our lives. When we separated, they were going to call out again. Don't worry about the batteries being insufficient. I left them an outdoor power source."

"Oh, you are well prepared."

"Well, it seems like it's a common problem for space awakeners to hoard things. I'm using them now." Ye Nai said as he took out two boxes of cigarettes, one hard and one soft. "Which one do you want?"

"You brought this too?" The captain's eyes lit up when he saw Yan and he pointed at the hard box.

"I don't smoke, I bought this for you guys, just to maintain a relationship."

Ye Na unpacked the cigarette deftly and lit it for him with a match. The match was a gift from the store owner when she bought so many cigarettes and alcohol.

The captain took a puff of his cigarette, turned his head and blew it into the face of the soldier next to him.

A miracle happened. The warrior who had been talking hysterically suddenly opened his eyes and his voice became hoarse.

"Give me a bite."

The captain laughed and put the cigarette into the other person's mouth.

"Is this okay?"

Ye Na also learned a lot.

"He's not going to pass out again, is he?"

"It's okay. If he faints, I'll slap him awake."

The captain showed no mercy to his men and opened his cigarette box and lit another one.

"Do you want to lie here and wait for reinforcements, or should I move you over to join us?"

"I weigh nearly 200 kilograms. Can you lift me? I'll just lie here. Go back and see how those two people are doing."

The captain held a cigarette in his mouth, stared at the cane waving weakly in the air, and reached for the gun beside him.

Ye Na also took a look and felt that there was no need to worry anymore. The waving of the vine looked scary but was actually weak and powerless. It was the last struggle before death.

"That alien plant looks like it's dying. Don't worry about it. I'll move you over there to join them now."

"……Eh?"

Before the captain could react, his body suddenly lightened and he was steadily carried horizontally.

"Are you okay here by yourself? I'll come and move you later?"

"go Go."

The young soldier next to him looked at his captain's embarrassed look, picked up the gun he left behind, and laughed.

"I'm counting on your great strength!"

The captain's legs were broken. Although he was quite shocked, he did not dare to struggle randomly, for fear that if he fell, he would lose his legs.

"Don't talk, don't spoil the fun, vent your anger, and let's wrestle together."

The captain decisively shut up and threw his cigarettes and matches to the little soldier who couldn't stop laughing.

The mycelium map in Yenna's mind gave her accurate navigation. Although names were not displayed above each person's head like in the game, there were three people there when she left, so she just had to find three points where they gathered together.
