Night falls.
The northwestern position, the northernmost point.
"Squad leader, look what that thing is?" a new recruit pointed to a greenish creature in the distance.
The old squad leader took a closer look and laughed, "You son of a bitch, how can you be so cowardly? It's just a frog, isn't it?"
The other man roared, "I bet a month's worth of meat that this is definitely not it!"
"It doesn't seem like it to me!" the new recruit said, puzzled.
"I'm going to make sure you don't eat meat for a month!" The old sergeant angrily grabbed it and waved it in front of the group. "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, is it a cat jinx?"
"It looks like it, but it doesn't!" The recruit frowned slightly.
"Could it be some kind of mutated creature?" The veteran shuddered. "Get rid of it right now!"
The old squad leader didn't seem to care, playing with it as he said, "At first glance, it does look like it, but upon closer inspection, it really doesn't. It's so ugly!"
It crashed heavily to the ground, its white belly turned up, and its skin was also green.
"Hiss, it really isn't!" The old sergeant warily scanned his surroundings. "Get back to position immediately, quick!"
The group hurriedly returned to their position, and nothing happened, so they were completely relieved.
The old squad leader took out cigarettes and handed them to the men.
The group chatted and laughed as they smoked and talked about things related to their hometown.
Before we knew it, it was time to change shifts.
After the handover, the first shift went back to rest...
Early the next morning.
The entire platoon of soldiers developed high fevers and would occasionally vomit green liquid that smelled incredibly foul.
They didn't pay much attention to it, and just took some antibiotics.
As time went on, even standing up became difficult for the squad leader, who then realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Come, come here! Come here!"
The guards stationed at the camp rushed over. "Sergeant, what's the matter?"
"Quickly notify the divine doctor Su Wanruo, hurry, hurry!" The old squad leader was very weak, and after saying that, he fell into a coma.
The guards were quite frightened and immediately relayed the news.
Before he could return to the camp, he felt a strong sense of dizziness. He tried to support himself with the butt of his rifle, but it slipped and he fell heavily to the ground.
More than an hour later.
Su Wanru's team arrived wearing protective suits.
"Take a sample, quick!"
Wu Feifei immediately opened the testing kit and took samples of nearby soil and vegetation for testing.
The test tube changed color very quickly.
"Oh no, it's a plague virus!" Wu Feifei's face turned grim. "Notify the cleaning staff for a thorough disinfection, and be quick!"
"Yes!" Zhao Yiting ran outside.
Soon, the area was completely sealed off.
The plague spreads and kills very quickly; it takes only about ten hours for a person to go from being infected to being unable to move.
Su Wanruo tried various medicinal powders, but the effects were minimal.
"The plague is still spreading, what should we do, what should we do?" Su Wanruo was extremely anxious and couldn't think of any solutions.
Suddenly, Qiang Chuan (the Miao doctor) spoke up: "Team leader, how about we try using Gu poison?"
"You want to fight poison with poison?" asked Mirzati (a Tibetan healer).
"Yes!" Qiang Chuan pointed to the test tube. "I just added one percent of the Gu poison. Take a look!"
Through a microscope, the activity of the plague virus was noticeably reduced in the areas where the poison had been administered.
"Increase the dosage!" Su Wanruo looked on with great anticipation, like a drowning person grasping at the last straw.
The poison continued to seep in, and everyone watched its changes with bated breath.
After 70% completion, the Gu poison will be able to control the territory.
At 90 o'clock, the counterattack began.
The two sides are evenly matched.
Su Wanruo carefully recalled the insights of various famous doctors, "Increase the dosage of the Gu poison to 93.67!"
Qiang Chuan and the others had no doubt about her abilities and immediately increased their numbers.
Once the amount of Gu poison reached her estimated level, it began to strangle the plague virus.
When the plague virus kills three Gu poisons, three others will also die.
In this way, a balance is achieved.
"Great, great!" Su Wanruo jumped up happily. "We need to develop an antidote immediately, and also start researching a vaccine!"
"Yes, team leader!" Zhao Yiting left with the other doctors.
Thanks to the all-out efforts of Su Wanruo and others, not a single soldier died.
Everyone admired Dr. Su even more and was deeply grateful to him.
......
Allied Forces, General Headquarters.
Only after receiving news that the plague had been brought under control did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
"Order: If any unidentified creature is discovered, do not touch it with your hands, and do not approach it!" Li Tianyi said sternly. "Uncle Kang, what should we do with these people?"
“They made a mistake unintentionally, so let’s treat them leniently!” Kang Zhonghua said, staring at everyone.
Luo Yun smiled and pointed at Li Tianyi, "I have a good way to handle this. You go..."
"Good, let's do it that way!" Kang Zhonghua let out a long sigh of relief. "Old Luo, thank you!"
"No need to thank me!" Luo Yun's smile faded. "The soldiers of the Third Company have participated in countless bloody battles, and our unit has been decimated many times. Such a steel company must not be removed from the main force because of a single unintentional mistake. That would chill the hearts of our brothers!"
Li Tianyi bowed deeply, "Father-in-law, Uncle Kang, you have shown me what it means to love soldiers like your own children. I have learned a lot!"
"You've got the skills!" Luo Yun patted him on the shoulder. "Go on, don't let us down!"
"Okay!" He turned and left.
As Kang Zhonghua watched his retreating figure, his smile deepened. "Old Luo, I bet you, in less than two years, you, as our son-in-law, will have grown to a level that we can only dream of!"
Luo Yun felt a surge of pride. "The more capable he is, the more proud I, his father-in-law, will be! No!"
"Haha!" Kang Zhonghua punched him. "You old fox!"
"Same to you!"
The two looked at each other and smiled...
On the other side.
On a desolate planet, in a high mountain.
"Sister Xiaoman, we've been searching for so long, but we haven't found a single decent creature!" Dudu said, puzzled, tugging at Xiaoman's clothes. "Why don't we go back?"
"No!" Xiaoman gave a bitter smile. "Last night I dreamt that Earth was being besieged by various alien creatures. We must find the guiding moose as soon as possible and go back!"
Maoqiu frowned slightly, resting his chin on his hand, as images of the surrounding area flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, it pointed to the right slant: "Dudu, unleash your Life Enhancement talent to its fullest extent!"
Dudu was puzzled, but she did as she was told.
A powerful life force surged in all directions, and green grass grew from the once barren ground, flourishing ever more.
The fluffy ball brandished its long sword, stirring up the air and carrying the fragrance of grass into the distance.
"Are you trying to lure out the moose with the fragrance of grass?" Xiaoman gave a thumbs up.
"clever!"
The fluff ball intensifies its movement, carrying the fragrance of fresh grass even further.
In a cave a few kilometers away, a sleeping moose suddenly opened its eyes, looking very excited.
Its head had just peeked out of the cave when it immediately withdrew, a wary glint in its eyes.
At the same time, an even stronger fragrance of fresh grass wafted in.
Its heart was on guard, but its body was honest, drooling all over the place.
This is a wasteland planet with almost no vegetation, and all herbivores can't resist the fragrance of grass.
The leading moose could no longer resist and cautiously approached.
Soon, it spotted several humans and quickly hid behind a large rock to observe.
Xiaoman smiled, concealing all her aura, and at first glance, she looked like an innocent and harmless girl.
"Little one, are you hungry?" Dudu smiled, grabbed some grass, and opened her palm. "Here, eat!"
The moose dared not approach, and was struggling internally.
Suddenly, Maoqiu realized something. "Let's step back!"
After the two left, the moose felt a sense of relief and slowly emerged from behind the rock.
Stop about 30 meters away from Dudu and keep looking at him.
"Little one, we mean no harm, we just want to offer you some grass!" Dudu smiled like an angel, looking incredibly holy.
The moose moved forward a little further.
However, no matter how much Dudu tried to tempt it, it didn't dare to eat the grass.
"I know you're afraid we'll hurt you!" Dudu tossed some grass in front of it. "Eat!"
I still don't dare to eat moose.
As time went by, it could no longer resist the temptation of the grass and began to eat it voraciously.
The delicious taste made it hum softly.
After finishing eating, it stared longingly at the remaining grass, as if saying, "Give me another bundle!"
Dudu immediately tossed out a bundle, "Little guy, we'll be staying here for a while. If you get hungry, come find me!"
After finishing its meal, the moose turned and ran away.
“It will take some time to build complete trust!” Furry pointed to a nearby cave. “We’ll stay here for now!”
Xiaoman had no choice but to comply.
In the days that followed, they fed the guide moose every day, and trust was gradually built between them.
In the end, the moose stayed by Dudu's side, following her wherever she went.
"Dudu, ask it if it's willing to take us to the Hemudu people's base?" Xiaoman had been waiting for this day for too long and couldn't wait to return to Earth.
"Okay!" Dudu communicated with it using her mind.
The moose trembled, a deep fear flashing in its eyes, and shook its head repeatedly.
What could Xiaoman and Maoqiu say but smile wryly?
Dudu didn't give up, and cleared out a large patch of grass. "You just need to lead us to the outer edge, you don't need to come in with us. Little deer, be good! Take us there, okay?"
After a long internal struggle, it finally nodded.
The three were extremely excited.
Over the next half day, they prepared what they might need, collected some water, and followed the moose.
The further you go, the more desolate the surroundings become.
Not to mention mountains, you can't even see a small stone; it's just endless yellow sand.
Since entering this area, the lead moose has become very uneasy, glancing around every now and then.
The three people and the deer just walked along like that...
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the moose suddenly let out a soft moo to Dudu, its eyes filled with reluctance.
Dudu stroked its head, "Little deer, thank you!"
Tie a large bundle of green grass to its back.
The little deer nodded gratefully in thanks and turned to leave.
"Sister Xiaoman, look straight ahead!" Maoqiu pointed to the towering alloy base. "That's the Hemudu people's temporary camp. We need to find a way to infiltrate it!"
"Can they detect my stealth skills?" Xiaoman frowned.
"It's hard to say!" Maoqiu pointed eastward. "There's an AI there that controls the base's operation. If we can destroy it first, there won't be any problems."
"Okay, I'll give it a try!"
Xiaoman frowned, activated stealth, and cautiously approached...
"Female lead (shocked): Did I hear that right? I've been flirted with? Author & Editor (calmly): No big deal, it was bound to happen sooner or later!"
