Chapter 80 Going Hunting with Captain Xiao Ni (2)
Ye Na knew about hunting maps, which were divided into public maps and private maps.
Public maps are of low value and are well-known places that have been swept over and over again by countless people. They are like wild monster areas in online games. As long as you come, you will gain something. They are suitable for novices to build up their courage and can be downloaded for free in the Awakener's Resource Area.
What is really expensive is the private map, which is explored by each team with their own legs, wheels, and even the lives of team members. It is a highly confidential exclusive hunting area for each team.
In the past few months that Ye Nai has been surfing the Internet, she has seen several gossips caused by private maps, including fake maps that deceive people, and spies lurking just to steal a precious map that a certain team values like their life.
For the high-value private map, they will do anything, even sexual seduction is child's play.
Ye Na didn't have any idea about the team's hunting map. The spores she had spread along the way had already drawn a route for her.
When the convoy stopped, Ye Na heard the faint roar of wild beasts coming from the wind.
"This is an absolutely dangerous area. Be alert when you sleep at night and be on guard against night attacks by wild animals at any time."
As everyone dispersed to clean the ground and prepare to set up camp, Captain Xiao Ni gave instructions to Ye Nai.
Ye Nai nodded in understanding. She definitely wouldn't take her life lightly.
The supernatural spores that are invisible to others are flying in the wind, growing and multiplying wherever they land. The mycelium floor quickly takes shape under the soil, building a wide and impenetrable defense circle.
We are not afraid of wild beasts coming, we are just afraid that they will not come. If they come, they will provide nutrients for the mycelium.
In the middle of the night, the roars of beasts kept Ye Na from sleeping to waking up, and all the team members held a machine gun in their hands, ready to be ready at any time.
Compared to them, Ye Nai couldn't resist the sleepiness and buried her face in the sleeping bag and continued to sleep. She knew that it was the struggle of the night-raiding beasts trapped in the mycelium trap. It couldn't break out at all, and the noise was just disturbing.
This is how it is in the wild. Even if you can’t sleep, you have to force yourself to sleep, otherwise you will be even more tired during the day.
She managed to hold on in a daze until dawn. Yenne climbed out of the tent in high spirits and saw that everyone else looked like they had not slept all night.
"Wow, such a big noise in the middle of the night."
"They were noisy, but no one rushed over to me."
"Go check it out after breakfast?"
"Okay."
Half an hour later, the team broke camp and set off.
Ye Na didn't want to take a car this time, so she took out her newly bought motorcycle.
"I don't want to ride in the car anymore. My butt hurts. I want to practice my driving skills."
The eye-catching and bright motorcycle attracted a lot of onlookers for a while. Then everyone got on the motorcycle, and Ye Na rode the motorcycle parallel to the passenger seat of the leading car.
The feeling of riding the new motorcycle in the wilderness is much better than the last time I rode an electric scooter. The wheels don’t drift or shake, the shock absorption is also very good, and I didn’t feel any concussion. It’s very stable and I can increase the speed whenever I want.
It is right to get a driver's license.
Based on the sounds heard in the middle of the night, everyone estimated that the distance was roughly three to five kilometers, but after running almost ten kilometers, the team members from the Civil Engineering Department and the detection equipment on the car did not respond at all.
Of course there would be no reaction. The prey was decomposed on the spot by the mycelium, and the fur, pure meat and two small cores were in Ye Na's space.
"All of them. If we don't find any traces, forget it. Let's find other prey."
Captain Xiao Ni picked up the radio in the car to notify the entire team, then opened the window, waved to Ye Nai, and asked her to follow.
The convoy made a sharp left turn and sped for more than half an hour. The weeds on the road suddenly became much shorter, and a wide river and open space by the water came into view.
"Wow, this is a great place, where there is water there are animals."
Ye Nai followed the convoy and slowly turned off the engine. In their sight, they could clearly see dozens of animals of all sizes drinking water and playing by the river, and there were also carnivores that had drunk their fill of water lying in ambush and hunting in the sparse grass.
The spores were still spread out. Although without the cover of the environment, it was difficult for the mycelium to hunt directly, all she wanted was to disrupt these animals, especially to prevent the strange beasts from launching supernatural attacks, so that they would fall under her gun as soon as possible and reduce the pressure of hunting.
Then, Ye Na put away his motorcycle, took out a grenade launcher, climbed onto the roof of the lead vehicle and lay down.
The team members looked at her skillful movements and gave a thumbs up to Captain Xiao Ni, indicating that Ye Nai was indeed trustworthy. Then they took their guns and took their positions. The hunting order was ordered by the captain. He was a gold awakener and could sense whether there was any energy reaction in those animals. Ordinary wild beasts could be left alone and the exotic beasts could be killed first. The strong ones among the exotic beasts should be concentrated immediately, and they must not be given the opportunity to fight back.
The whole team followed the captain and opened fire, following wherever he hit.
Ye Na didn't follow. She aimed her grenade launcher at the fleeing animals. No matter whether they waded across the river or ran into the bushes, as long as they were within range, she would shoot them one by one.
After firing a few shots and knocking down several animals, some team members began to turn their guns around and help her shoot again.
After a few minutes of continuous firing, the hunt was over. Except for the dozens of animals that were killed on the spot, the rest ran away, most of them wading away in the water.
The whole team sighed for a while after seeing this, and then they drove to pick up the prey one by one and handed them over to Ye Na to keep temporarily.
Ye Na piled the prey in a corner of the space and ordered the mycelium not to move.
"Alas, he jumped into the river and ran away again."
"Is the river deep?"
Ye Na stood on the dry land by the river, not daring to get close to any wet areas, for fear that some strange beast in the water would jump up and drag her down.
"It's quite deep, and dangerous even in the dry season. Anyway, it's deep enough to cover our car hood, so we can't drive across the river."
"And there are strange beasts in the water, which are bigger and more ferocious than the crocodiles native to our Blue Planet."
“Is it the dry season now?”
"Yes, the river is wider during the flood season. The place where we are standing now is the riverbed."
"Oh, so we need a vehicle that can wade through water better, right?"
"Ok?"
Yenne said as she moved a little further away from the team members and stood alone in the open area.
Captain Xiao Ni and his team members watched with great interest to see what good stuff she could come up with.
Then, "bang", a huge monster appeared in front of them.
Four-wheel tractor head.
The wheels are bigger, the hood is higher than theirs, and the wading power is better.
"Wow!"
Captain Xiao Ni was the first to run forward and walked around the tractor.
"Aren't you going to buy a motorcycle?"
"Yeah, I saw this again, so I bought one."
"…You can drive?"
"No." Ye Na pulled out a book in her hand, "I have the instruction manual."
"Put it away, put it away." Captain Xiao Ni pressed Ye Nai's hand and shouted to the crowd, "Aqi! Where are the people?"
"Here, here." A young man ran out from behind the tractor, "Captain calling me?"
“Can you still drive a tractor?”
"Captain, you are joking. I have been able to drive a tractor since I could walk. This is a skill I have acquired since I was a child!"
"Okay, I'll give you a task, teach her." Captain Xiao Ni pointed at Ye Nai.
"Yes." Archie raised his hand and saluted with a smile.
