Chapter 53 Second Mission (8)

The captain had no idea how Ye Na found the way, but when he heard voices, he found someone.

They changed positions and found a secluded spot with some bushes.

"Captain?!"

The two soldiers also heard the unusual noise in the bushes and were holding their guns on guard. When they saw that it was Ye Nai carrying the captain back, they were both shocked and hurried forward to help, bringing the captain to the ground.

Next to him is the seriously injured soldier at the beginning, who is still unconscious.

"How is it? Has the call been received?" As soon as he landed, the captain asked about the result.

"I've received the call and they're on their way."

As they were talking, the radio rang and someone called from the other side, reporting the reinforcements' current route and how far they were from them.

While replying, the communications soldier moved the radio to the captain's side and let him speak.

"Yena." The captain held the intercom, thought for a moment, and called Yena again.

"Eh?"

"Let me confirm again. Those three gold elements were sucked into mummies. Eight of our 3 members died, and the rest were seriously injured, right?"

"Correct."

The captain picked up the intercom, announced his identity, and told the other party the latest situation.

The communications soldier stayed next to the radio station to maintain normal communications, while another soldier pulled Ye Nai to whisper.

"Have you found everyone?"

"Yes, we have found them all. Eight of them died. Judging from their wounds, they died without pain. The others were seriously injured. Tourniquets were used on the wounds that could be treated."

"That's good, but you're not good. You haven't been trained. If you see this situation rashly, you'll have nightmares. Remember to make an appointment for psychological intervention on your phone. Insomnia or nightmares are minor issues."

"it is good."

Although Ye Na felt that there was no need for her to do this, she still thought it would not hurt to give it a try out of kindness. If there were hidden dangers, she could solve them; if there were no hidden dangers, she could be more bold.

The captain ended the call, held the intercom and looked at Ye Na and the soldiers beside her, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Ye Na was very sensitive to people's gazes, and as soon as she raised her head, she met the captain's eyes.

"Captain, do you want the two of us to carry the other injured people over?"

"I have this idea, but it's too tiring, and..."

"You can go take a look. It's a good opportunity to loosen the tourniquets on them, and then move those who can move over here."

Ye Na didn't mind working so hard. The mycelium continuously provided her with energy, and she didn't even feel tired even if she carried everyone.

Besides, the income from this mission was considerable. She was willing to do more work and gather people together so that she could clean up the battlefield faster when reinforcements arrived.

"Yes, the threat of vines is still there. It would be bad if there are thin vines that we haven't seen that are secretly sucking people's blood." Another soldier also agreed to move the people over as soon as possible.

"Okay, you two should be careful and come back quickly."

As the captain finished speaking, several broken vines waving in the air shook violently a few times as if they were electrocuted, and then fell to the ground with a crash.

The four sane people present saw this scene.

"Huh? Are you giving up?"

"Want to take a look?"

"Forget it, it seems a bit far away. Rather than worrying about it, I'm more afraid that it will sneak up and suck my blood."

"Yes, find someone first."

Ye Na gave up checking the condition of the vine and decided that her own people were more important.

Others may not know, but she knows clearly that the alien plant died. The mycelium, which grew and developed under abundant energy, released a large number of spores and dissipated itself. These spores sank into the surrounding soil and grew and multiplied. In addition to energy, this alien plant has no heart core.

Ye Na felt a little bit disappointed as this was all she gained after fighting for so long.

In this comparison, killing alien beasts is still cost-effective. At least it doesn't take time. No matter how many there are, as long as they breathe with lungs, they will die quickly.

With Ye Na leading the way, the two found the first soldier, who was unconscious. They loosened the tourniquet on his body and tied it up again. The soldier led the way, and Ye Na hurried back to the captain with the man in his arms.

Just move it back and forth like this.

There are more unconscious people than conscious ones, so the unconscious ones are moved first. As long as the conscious ones can still move, they will use great willpower to struggle and crawl to a place with cover of bushes or small trees.

No matter how they move, Ye Nai can always find the right one. Mycelium navigation is so useful.

She even thought that if she gave it some time, her mycelium would fill this secret realm, and those enemies and alien plants and beasts would still be able to survive? Aren't they all her prey?

Just thinking about it makes me feel so good, so I work harder to spread the spores.

After moving about ten people, the sound of an airplane suddenly came from the sky. Ye Nai and the other man who were squatting in the bushes looked up and saw the soldier shouting happily.

"It's our helicopter. Reinforcements have arrived."

"Is this really our helicopter? Not an enemy impersonating it?"

"Well, judging by the color and model, it's correct. The tail of the plane is painted with the Air Force flag."

"Is there no possibility that the enemy has seized the military aircraft?"

"You're thinking too much..."

"Wait a little longer until they come looking for us. Don't rush out rashly. Otherwise, if they are really impersonating us, then we will be trapped, right?"

"..."

The other party was speechless after hearing what Ye Na said, but they still did as she said and did not jump out in a hurry. They were still carrying an unconscious and seriously injured person.

Ye Nai picked up the wounded man, stood up and ran.

"Go, go, go, go find the next wounded. There seems to be another fallen soldier nearby. Which one should we look for?"

"…Find the wounded first, take them to their place, and then go back and check."

"Okay, this way."

Ye Nai was holding one person and leading the way. After running about 100 to 200 meters, he found the wounded man smoking in the bushes.

Three of the man's limbs were badly injured and only his left hand could still do small movements like smoking. He was originally unconscious, but woke up in pain when Ye Na put a tourniquet on him.

"Oh, you're awake. Are you feeling better than before?"

Ye Na came over and put the man down.

"It feels much better with a cigarette. What's the situation? Is he dead or alive?" The man tried to sit up with the cigarette in his mouth, but he couldn't get up after struggling for a few times.

"It's alive. I'll lend it to you for a while. There's another sacrifice over there."

"...Can you bring them over? I just saw a helicopter. Is that reinforcements?"

"I hope so, but we two dare not jump out. What if it's not the case? The captain is lost, but we have to keep two living forces. We can't let them be wiped out by the enemy, right?"

"...That's right." The man took a puff of cigarette and raised his head suddenly, "Is the captain here?"

"Yes, both of his legs are broken. He is with the signalman."

"Oh, then the helicopter will definitely look for him first."

"Yes, if something happens, he will be the first one to get into trouble, so that the two of us who are intact won't be involved as well."
