Chapter 181 Provocation

Ruan Xi walked into the greenhouse, lowered his head and never dared to raise it again, occasionally uttering an exclamation. In order to observe the plants here more clearly, he even lay directly on the ground, completely ignoring the soil on the ground.

"Hey, little genius doctor, why are you lying on the ground? Are you looking for bugs?" Ren Wei, who had just returned from completing other tasks, couldn't help laughing when he saw Ruan Xi's posture. He strode to Ruan Xi's side and squatted down happily, wanting to see what interesting things could attract their little genius doctor like this.

As a result, there was nothing in the greenhouse except strange-looking flowers and plants. Some of the plants were so ugly and smelly that people didn't want to get close to them from a distance. However, Ruan Xi was able to calmly approach them to look and smell them, which made everyone speechless.

Ren Wei retreated silently. Even as strong as he was, he was retched several times by the stench of the plant. He almost suspected that there was something wrong with Ruan Xi's sense of smell.

Otherwise, how could he bear this terrible stench?

"Captain, our little doctor is really amazing. That flower stinks so much that I can smell it even from here..." There were only a few stinky flowers in the greenhouse, and the one that Ruan Xi was lying on the ground at the moment, with his head almost stuck into the core of, was obviously the stinkiest of the stinky ones. Everyone couldn't help but turn pale just by looking at Ruan Xi's action.

The little doctor is truly a genius!

"You know he's awesome, yet you still ask?" He Ziqian had a look on his face that said "Are you stupid?" and he successfully retorted Old Eight. He looked at Ruan Xi with the same gentle expression as always. He even walked over and squatted beside Ruan Xi, "Ruan Xi, the ground is cold, don't lie down."

"Just a moment, I'm collecting samples. You see, almost every part of this flower stinks, but this part of the trunk close to the ground doesn't have any odor!"

He Ziqian: “…”

The people at the door: "..."

Holy shit, how on earth did you manage to tell there was a tiny part of this plant that didn't smell? Are you sure your nose is still working?

"I'm sorry, I can't tell. Is there anything I can help with?" He Ziqian was determined not to pretend to be rich. If he didn't have any knowledge, then he didn't have any. It wasn't his professional field, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.

"I want to cut a little from this odorless trunk as a sample so that I can do comparative analysis when I get back. You just need to hold the sample bottle for me!" Ruan Xi arranged the work for the next few months properly and temporarily forgot about the alien race's origin.

He Ziqian also welcomed this. He did not think that going to the origin of the alien race was a good thing.

"Okay." He Ziqian naturally agreed, reached out to take the sample bottle handed to him by Ruan Xi, and waited for Ruan Xi to collect the sample.

All activities in the greenhouse went very smoothly, so smoothly that Ruan Xi found it incredible.

"I always feel that it seems too peaceful. Is there no secret to be uncovered in this greenhouse?" Ruan Xi was thinking about this, but there was a voice in his mind that kept telling him - don't think too much, there must be a ghost in this greenhouse!

But the problem was that without any further clues, he really couldn't find anything fishy for the moment. He did collect enough plant samples, which at least made Ruan Xi feel a little comforted... Well, okay, it was a lot of comfort.

You know, these strange-shaped plants in the greenhouse, no matter whether they really come from the alien origin planet or not, cannot change the properties of these plants themselves. These are all rare good medicines, especially the smelliest one. If his analysis is correct, it is definitely the best raw material for wound medicine he has ever seen in his two lifetimes, and the effect is immediate.

Ruan Xi felt excited just thinking about it. The origin of the alien race, which had been almost forgotten, was like adding fuel to the fire, and it instantly burned extremely fiercely.

"There must be more rare medicinal herbs in the place of origin of the alien race. I really want to go and see them!" It would be best if he could stay for ten days or half a month, so that he can collect enough samples, the kind of samples of whole plants!

"Okay, if the conditions permit, I will definitely go with you, but now..." Obviously, now is not a good time to look for the origin of the alien race. The battle in the pirates' lair has not completely stopped, and small-scale fighting is still going on, but the main figures of the Dark Pirates are either dead or captured, and the army has not given them any chance to escape.

At this moment, the main members of the Dark Star Pirates were all taken to the prison cells on the command ship. Once in the cells, it would be extremely difficult to escape.

Isaac was also sent to a cell, but the "specifications" of his cell were relatively higher. He had no chance to communicate with anyone in any way. Even if he shouted in the cell, no sound could be heard.

There are naturally people in charge of the cleanup work. As the central force, the Eagle Squad's priority is to escort the main members of the Dark Star Pirates, including Isaac, back to the Imperial Capital Star for interrogation as soon as possible, and to dig out as many secrets from them as possible to avoid complications.

The truth is, Isaac's last escape was already full of doubts. However, after two rounds of investigations at the base, apart from identifying a few suspects with less suspicion, no traitor was caught. As a result, Isaac was about to be imprisoned for the second time. Not to mention the people escorting him were nervous, the people at the base were even more nervous.

"I've searched the ground of this greenhouse, but apart from the peculiarities of the plants themselves, I really can't find any clues." As the return journey was approaching, Ruan Xi couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he saw the greenhouse that he cared about so much.

He clearly felt that there was something wrong here, but he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked. How could he accept this?

"Don't worry, this place has been completely controlled by the army. After Isaac and his men are escorted back to the Imperial Capital Star, I will come with you to look for it carefully." If he can't find it once, try twice. If both times don't work, try three times at most. Anyway, his little doctor is determined to do something, which is to break through the south wall, and he will definitely stick to his original route.

There's nothing I can do about it, it's just his personality. But he likes it, he likes it very much!

"It's the only way. Isaac is so lost and it always seems very dangerous. We should make arrangements for him as soon as possible." Ruan Xi couldn't help feeling a little depressed. He didn't mind carrying out missions with the Goshawk Team, but he didn't like the feeling of being bound by the mission.

Moreover, at this moment, he always felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, which was not a pleasant feeling.

"Ziqian, I feel like something is going to happen..." But this was just his feeling, and he couldn't explain exactly what would happen. Even if He Ziqian believed him, it was impossible for others to take his feelings as the basis for their actions. If that were the case, even Ruan Xi himself would find it a bit ridiculous.

"Is it Isaac who makes you feel uneasy?" After all, he was kidnapped. Even if Ruan Xi handled the situation perfectly during this period, it still could not change the fact that he was in danger.

He Ziqian felt a surge of heartache, and he stretched out his long arms and pulled the person into his arms, "It's okay, I have it, I will never let this happen again!"

"Um."

What could Ruan Xi do? This was the only way. He was a doctor, not a prophet, and no one was obligated to buy into his feelings.

Although, his feelings were almost never wrong.

He Ziqian was well aware of this, and unknowingly, he developed the same concerns as Ruan Xi.

But the return voyage still came as scheduled. When the order from the base came, the command ship and frigate set off immediately and headed towards the Imperial Capital Star.

Fortunately, Ruan Xi collected enough plant samples, and there was a well-equipped laboratory on the command ship. As long as he had something to do, he wouldn't be depressed and entangled all the time. When he came to his senses, they were only half a day's journey away from the Imperial Capital Star. They were about to reach their destination, but Ruan Xi's mood did not relax at all, but instead became suddenly tense.

Moreover, it was so tense that it was a little uncomfortable.

Ruan Xi immediately called He Ziqian. Before He Ziqian's figure fully appeared on the screen, Ruan Xi couldn't wait to say, "He Ziqian, something is going to happen. I feel terrible. Send someone to keep an eye on Isaac..."

However, before Ruan Xi could finish his words, the command ship shook violently. At the same time, a dull roar suddenly sounded. Obviously, the command ship was under an unknown attack.

Ruan Xi widened his eyes, and the only thing left in his mind was "Fuck". No human language could describe his mood at the moment.

Damn, are you really that bold? It's only half a day's journey from here to the Imperial Capital Star, and the supporting fleet will reunite with them in ten minutes. Attacking them now is either courting death or a sure win.

Ruan Xi always felt that the latter was more likely, and his heart suddenly turned cold.

Could it be that the enemy is coming for Isaac?

"Ruan Xi, don't move where you are. I'll come to you right away!" Before the communication was interrupted, He Ziqian was already running towards the laboratory quickly. Before Ruan Xi could react, He Ziqian rushed into the laboratory panting, hugged him in his arms, his chest shaking violently.

Ruan Xi came back to his senses as if waking from a dream, and felt He Ziqian's almost out-of-control heartbeat. He couldn't help but be surprised. How fast and how fast must he be running to make his heart beat so fast?

"I'm fine... Please send someone to look after Isaac. I think the enemy is coming for Isaac. It is very likely that it is related to the alien race. The enemy is afraid that the secret of Isaac will be dug out!" The moment He Ziqian hugged him, Ruan Xi felt inexplicably at ease, and his mind began to work quickly and effectively.

"Ren Wei is taking people over." Ren Wei is undoubtedly the second strongest fighter in the Goshawk team. Under normal circumstances, with Ren Wei there, it can be said that everything is foolproof.

But when it comes to Isaac, that's not at all certain.

"Let's go over there too! I think something is going to happen..." It would be fine if Isaac couldn't be saved, but what if something happened to Ren Wei and the others... Ruan Xi didn't dare to think further, and pulled He Ziqian and ran out.

When they arrived at the prison cell, it was already a scene like hell. The leaders of the Dark Star Pirates were all lying in a pool of blood. To be more precise, they were broken into pieces in the pool of blood. Not a single body was intact, which made people feel nauseous.

"Captain, when we arrived, Isaac was gone." Ren Wei's face turned pale. No one would be in a good mood after encountering such a thing.

No one would believe that such an unexpected accident was not premeditated. No one is stupid, so how could such a coincidence happen?

"Captain, the enemy has only just launched an attack on us. This is simply a provocation to us and our army. They deliberately chose this time and place to launch the attack. They didn't even kill anyone on our side except the pirates from the Dark Pirates." Han Qing also had a grim expression on his face, and his fists were clenched so hard that they made crackling sounds as he spoke.

The emotions of the other team members were basically on the verge of rage. They could not tolerate such provocation, but they had to swallow the humiliation for the time being.

Because they don’t even know who the enemy is. It’s such a joke!
