Chapter 60 Actually, we have a grudge
The sound waves emitted by birds and insects stimulate the mind and can enhance their ability to absorb pollutants.
In this location near the incubation nest, after a battle with birds and insects, the "Big White's" pollution level seems to be only around 50%, while its mental resistance is quite high.
However, out of gratitude and politeness, Qi An still gestured to ask him if he needed purification.
The man raised an eyebrow behind the protective shield, seemingly surprised that Qi An was a purifier.
But then his gaze seemed to suddenly realize—how could someone with Qi An's physique be fit to be a soldier?
This person crossed their arms in front of their chest, refused purification, opened a small hole in their mask, inserted a small blue pill, and chewed it.
Alright. Qi An was relieved and returned to the team to help Zhuang Xiao and the captain stabilize their pollution levels.
The rescue team's purification process ended quickly, and "Big White" also finished his meditation, with the pollution level dropping significantly.
The big bird and the monkey moved even closer to him.
The crisis was over, but after Yu Shuang connected with the rescue team, she introduced herself as part of the Stars Squad and tried to express her gratitude, but the male soldier on the other end, who had jumped 20 meters, shouted:
"It really is Team Stars!"
Yu Shuang was taken aback; the tone of those words was clearly off!
"You blew up that insect nest up there?!" the male soldier asked again.
"yes......"
Didn't I just upload the data?
The male soldier's tone became even more furious: "You even blew up our last spy drone!"
"Huh?" This was a genuine expression of confusion as Yu Shuang turned to look at Zhao Bohan and Qi An.
The two of them were also bewildered.
I didn't see any spy planes the whole time.
But Qi An quickly realized what was happening.
Since this squad was so close to them, they must have found the insect hive in the stadium around the same time.
But while the squad was still scouting, they were already blown up!
Her drone is currently considered cutting-edge technology. How fast could that bomb fly? The rescue team's spy plane was probably still cautiously observing the situation inside the building when the fire suddenly broke out.
The rescue team's spy plane was unable to escape and was tragically swallowed up.
And they said it was "the last spy drone"...
Spy drones are also valuable equipment, and the South China base cannot afford to supply them. Each squad brings their own from their own base, usually two or one.
Qi An noticed that the team had two or three members, whose protective suits were covered in patches and whose backpacks were in a sorry state.
Was the equipment damaged during the intense battle?
It's right to avoid the fallen insects when you're on the outskirts!
Didn't they clearly state at the meeting that the primary objective was the stronghold? The stronghold is far more valuable than a single insect; lingering on the outskirts for too long will only waste energy and resources!
No matter how much they complained in their hearts, they couldn't say it out loud, which made the situation a bit awkward.
"Uh... the spy drone is only the size of a quail egg, we really don't..." Yu Shuang blurted out, almost saying, "How about we compensate you with one?"
But several hands stopped her!
“There are only two of us!” Tang Long said.
Let's cherish something!
"This was purely an accident! We have no obligation to do so," Su Qingran said.
“But they did provide support, which was quite generous of them. We’re the ones who are indebted to them,” Zhuang Xiao said, scratching his head.
The rescue team members looked angry and aggrieved, as if they had been wronged by the team, which made Yu Shuang feel some moral pressure.
Zhao Bohan then observed the captain opposite him.
Captain "Big White" stroked the giant bird's feathers and patted the little monkey's head.
The two animals were trusting and docile. Following "Big White's" gestures, one flew away, and the other climbed a tree.
White-bellied eagles and macaques are both representative species of South China, and their distribution in this region should be very widespread.
“Let’s talk to them about cooperation,” Zhao Bohan said. “Our two teams can work together.”
Yu Shuang raised an eyebrow and met Zhao Bohan's gaze.
After exchanging glances several times, Yu Shuang hesitated for a moment before turning around and speaking.
The word "cooperation" surprised all the team members.
The repulsion was subconscious; they were completely unfamiliar with each other, and the Star Team's combat strength seemed average!
The vice-captain, who had amazing jumping ability, was shunned because of his "average combat strength," while Captain "Big White" seemed to take a small step back and frowned as he looked Yu Shuang up and down.
Yu Shuang was puzzled, and Zhao Bohan said, "If I'm not mistaken, your team's Captain Wu has a kind of 'biological affinity' ability, which allows him to find insect nests by relying on territorial animals."
This is a god-level reconnaissance skill, because the predators at the top of the food chain in this forest are the Fallen Insects.
All animals have the instinct to avoid danger. Carnivorous predators and highly intelligent animals like monkeys know which parts of their habitat are extremely dangerous and must never be entered.
Captain Wu of the Southeast Squad probably already has a map of the insect hive distribution in his mind.
This method directly identifies the fixed location, saving even more effort than Qi An's method of finding the insect!
However, it is likely not accurate enough, and it is impossible to achieve what Qi An did, where he could accurately know how many insects and how many guards were in the insect nest as soon as he reached a 3-kilometer radius.
They relied on spy planes for reconnaissance, but now they have no spy planes left.
Zhao Bohan neither hoped nor pleaded, but simply stated his conditions:
"Our team has a member with the ability to sense fallen insects, who can clearly sense the movement of fallen insects at close range."
"We still have plenty of spare batteries for our spy drones."
"Then... how are the rights and obligations distributed?" This seemingly calm question shamefully tempted several members of the Southeast Squad! However, they remained vigilant.
Captain Wu seemed to be the most vigilant, and he even tried to stop the vice-captain from speaking.
But Yu Shuang said, "You guys provide the large map, and we'll be responsible for the specific reconnaissance."
Let's fight the bugs together. Since you have stronger combat power, you might have to take on more responsibility.
Find the insect nests, regardless of size, just in order: 1, 3, 5 are yours, 2, 4, 6 are ours.
But to thank our comrades from the Southeast for their generous help, we'll also give you the second insect hive!
She spoke frankly and openly, and then asked, "Should we draw up a written agreement based on the conditions we just discussed and post it in the group chat?"
That's unnecessary. It's like signing a guarantee at the time of marriage; it will only make things more awkward for both parties during a divorce.
The vice-captain with the elastic ability thought it was pure nonsense to find 135 or 246 insect nests, but he was still incredibly excited!
It's almost dark. Going back to the outer perimeter to replenish the drones at this hour would just waste too much time.
This time, the small team huddled together and whispered amongst themselves.
Qi An noticed that although the giant bird and monkey beside Captain Wu had left, upon closer inspection, many small animals were still gathered around him.
There was a little hedgehog at his feet, several frogs on the pebbles a little further away, and even the egrets by the stream were gracefully approaching.
Another lynx, all brown and yellow with ringed stripes on its tail and small white spots on its face, darted up and crouched down a short distance away from him.
After crouching down, the lynx began licking its furry front paws, its golden eyes narrowing and shimmering in the sunset!
Qi An felt a wave of tenderness wash over him, and involuntarily squatted down to look at it.
The lynx noticed her immediately, stared at her for a moment, then moved a little closer. Its fur bristled, and it breathed at Qi An.
It ran away.
Qi An was slightly taken aback. The Southeast Squad had finished their discussion, and the vice-captain strode over, shook hands with Yu Shuang, and laughed heartily:
"I've long admired the Stars Team. Captain Yu, I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration!"
