Chapter 88: Another joint hunt in the wetlands (1)
When we found the person and took him out, he had already fainted. We didn't know if it was because of the heavy internal organs or the stench, but we rushed him to the hospital.
Ye Na didn't go to the hospital. She saw with her own eyes how tough the giant frog's skin was, and she wanted to find a good shoemaker even more.
She was not in a hurry for the frog skin. In the future, her superiors would surely organize a team to focus on catching frogs. By then, she would definitely be able to get a piece of leather enough to make boots. She could keep the complete stock in her hand. It would not rot in the space anyway. She could take it out and sell it after a few years. No one would ask her how she got it.
After saying hello to the logistics staff who were cleaning the scene, Ye Na took out his motorcycle and went home leisurely.
She took a shower when she got home and was smelly. When she entered the community gate, she could see the guard covering his nose through his helmet mask.
After taking a shower, she sat in front of the computer.
Turn on and learn.
Everyone close to her knew that she had just returned from a long journey and needed adequate rest. If she ran to the training hall nonchalantly, it would not be the same as telling the other captains that she was full of energy and could continue working.
Please spare her, let her rest for two days.
While repeatedly watching the three-dimensional anatomical images of the human brain, I suddenly felt something was wrong and hurried to the toilet.
Yenne came back ten minutes later with a smile on her face.
Studying medicine is indeed useful. The menstrual period that causes us so much trouble is now under control.
At her age when her blood is abundant, her flow is turbulent every time. She goes to the toilet every two or three hours for two days, and only decreases on the third day. She uses a lot of sanitary products, but her mother thinks she is wasting money, so she can only buy cheap ones. She doesn't feel any discomfort physically, but is very irritable.
Now, after several months of study, and following the rules of estrogen, she has used mycelium to experiment on herself over and over again. This time, the flow has finally been reduced by half, and the bad mood has disappeared. Everything is moving in a positive direction. Sooner or later, she will be able to completely cut off the impact of hormones on her reproductive system.
Her idea was to let the hyphae create a false environment in the body to deceive the reproductive system, so that it would remain in the follicular phase after the end of the menstrual period and would not be able to enter the subsequent ovulation and luteal phases, and there would be no next menstrual period.
Ye Nai would not use medicine. She obviously had a safer method and would not use medicine. Once her experiment was successful, it would benefit the vast number of women who entered the secret realm.
She even regarded the secret realm as something within her grasp, let alone such a trivial matter.
I rested leisurely for four days. My menstrual period just ended and I received new messages on my mobile phone.
Captain Liu, also known as "Liu Liuliuer", and Captain Pan, also known as "Reliable Old Pan", in the team leader group jointly called on her to start work.
This time’s mission is the same as Sister Malaysia’s last one, to explore the wetland for the second time.
In the past few days, the Danger Zone has been studying the giant frog skin. Its toughness is the best among the exotic animal materials obtained so far, and it is very suitable for making protective gear such as boots and leather armor.
Of the many bird eggs handed in by Sister Dama, a few were randomly inspected and all were found to be unfertilized. The energy and nutritional levels contained in them were also at the ordinary level. If those water birds could be captured alive and domesticated and bred from generation to generation, they would have great economic value.
The higher-ups wanted to get a better feel of the situation, so they sent two teams led by Liu and Pan, plus Ye Nai.
The supplies were also extremely sufficient, including multiple heavy artillery pieces, tracked vehicles, boxes of medicines, and fresh, hot food, all of which were given to Ye Nai to store in the space.
Then she got two sets of military camouflage combat uniforms including military boots. She got the benefits before she started working. In this way, when they set out, Ye Nai sat in the car led by Captain Liu in her new clothes, and Captain Pan's car was at the rear.
If it weren't for this, outsiders would really think she was a soldier just by looking at her clothes.
Two teams, about twenty people, headed to the wetland along the route that Sister Da Ma took last time.
This time when she came in, Ye Na had a distinct feeling. The spores she spread along the road when she entered and exited the secret realm many times, in the past six months or so, the mycelium in the soil on both sides of the road finally connected into one piece, and the energy fed back continuously entered her body, but after entering the wilderness, it became intermittent again.
Ye Na was surprised by the speed of mycelium reproduction and was full of confidence in controlling the entire secret realm in the future.
When passing the undergrowth marked with ghost-faced vines, they also took a detour, and no one had any intention of stopping to investigate the situation of the ghost-faced vines.
When the road became muddy, the entire team switched to tracked personnel carriers and smoothly made their way to the edge of the wetland.
During the journey, Ye Nai had already understood the value of the wetland. As soon as she arrived, she communicated and ordered the mycelium that had grown and reproduced on its own in the wetland to speed up its reproduction, enclosed the wetland, and raised giant frogs and water birds.
Especially on the shore near the water, the mycelium defense circle must be thick. The only purpose is to prevent water snakes from jumping out and hurting people. We must ensure that any threat that appears will be killed immediately, and not a single one will be left alive.
Fortunately, so many days have passed since the last time, and the wetland with sufficient food has excellent conditions for the growth and reproduction of mycelium, and a sufficient number of mycelium have grown. Under Yenna's clear command, the mycelium dam began to take shape according to her requirements.
Water is not the territory of mycelium, but spores can land on every aquatic creature and control their life and death.
However, such a large water surface requires countless spores and the mycelium must work hard to reproduce.
The place where they set up camp was still the same dry and hard land where they had camped last time. It was close to the water, yet at a safe distance, and large enough to accommodate so many of them.
They arranged the tracked vehicles in a semicircle, forming a shelter facing the water. Behind the vehicles were three anti-aircraft guns, mainly to guard against attacks from high altitudes.
In species-rich areas like wetlands, the possibility of the presence of birds of prey cannot be ruled out. If they only eat fish and water snakes, that's fine, but if they attack people, we can use anti-aircraft guns to deal with them.
To deal with the giant jumping frogs, they brought quadruple rocket launchers.
If the rocket launcher can't kill it, then use the anti-aircraft gun. I don't believe that the giant frog's skin is so tough.
After everyone has put up their tents, they surround the outer layer of the tent and put up a protective net on top of the tent to prevent bird droppings from attacking.
This net is very old and tattered, and some of the meshes are broken. It was originally going to be thrown away, but now it is a good opportunity to recycle it.
Bird droppings are smelly and sticky. Ye Nai's tractor was covered with so much bird droppings that after accepting the task, he spent a whole day at the car wash to clean it before leaving.
Seeing how hard she was working, her teammates certainly didn’t want their tent to be stained with bird droppings. Should they wash or throw away the bird droppings when they got back?
After setting up the camp, the team members formed groups and carefully approached the water's edge to observe the environment. Ye Na stayed in the camp, playing a stand-alone computer game in her single tent.
Before dark, the people who were observing the environment came back. After dinner, Ye Na got up and moved around, walking around the perimeter of the camp to digest the food.
