Besides, as of now, this small team of twelve people is led by a useless person like her.

She is always responsible for the safety of these people.

"Besides, the alien species has a strong sense of perception. If someone hides nearby, it will definitely be sensed by it, and then it will not show up, so it is better to use surveillance."

Toobin was speechless.

After waiting for the guards to carry over the half-body of the Tibetan Mastiff, Ding Naiqing connected the equipment of both parties, and the group boarded a helicopter and flew to their team's temporary headquarters.

On the plane, the noisy sound of the propeller covered everything. Inside the noise-proof helmets, Ding Naiqing and Tu Ran were connected by a single line.

Ding Naiqing: "Sister Ran, why do we have to leave? Wouldn't it be more convenient for us to stay on the farm? We can save time running back and forth."

Tu Ran was leaning back in her chair with her arms folded across her chest, eyes closed. When she heard this, she didn't even bother to open her eyes and said sarcastically, "Because I'm a coward."

She is really a coward.

But Ding Naiqing wouldn't believe it.

He grinned, "Sister Ran, are you kidding me?"

Tu Ran sighed in her heart.

The original body is almost Ding Naiqing's idol. The idol filter is there, and anything she says that may break the filter will be considered a joke.

"I think it's very risky to stay overnight on the farm. We don't know how many alien species there are on the farm, nor do we know how they can possess humans."

Tu Ran explained word by word, "If just touching can make them possess us, then we should stay on the farm overnight. We are most vulnerable when we sleep at night, and it is easy for aliens to take advantage of us. We have experience and may be able to discover it in time, but it will be very dangerous for the guards to follow us."

After Tu Ran finished speaking, Ding Naiqing suddenly understood and nodded in agreement, casting a look of admiration at Tu Ran, "Sister Ran is really thoughtful."

Because she was afraid that if she didn't think it through carefully, the whole team would be wiped out.

The helicopter arrived at the destination and prepared to land. During this time, Tu Ran connected Ding Naiqing's headset and said, "Go and ask them how they will stay tonight, will they stay together or separately?"

"Why are you asking this?" Ding Naiqing blinked and asked curiously.

"You ask them first. I'll talk to you in detail tonight. Also, don't be too deliberate when asking. Just pretend to chat. Got it?"

"I understand." Ding Naiqing nodded obediently.

After the helicopter landed, Tu Ran was the first to get off the plane and walked towards the hotel that had been prepared for their fourth team.

Ding Naiqing did not follow her, but mingled among the ten guards and treated them as brothers.

Compared to the cold and taciturn Tu Ran, the guards preferred this harmless and simple-looking young man and they quickly became friends with him.

The task assigned to him by Tu Ran was also completed quickly.

Eight o'clock in the evening.

In the hotel restaurant, Tu Ran and Ding Nai ordered several local specialties.

It looks delicious, and the texture is as similar as possible to the original, but it doesn’t taste as good as expected, lacking the soul of the original ingredients.

Tu Ran chewed mechanically.

"Sister Ran, they said they live separately. The federal government of Regaken State also arranged rooms for them," Ding Naiqing said, "What's going on? Why is it so mysterious?"

Tu Ran swallowed the "boiled pork slices" in her mouth that tasted worse than shoe insoles, wiped the corners of her mouth, "Why do you see everything mysterious? I'm just worried that those guards who left our sight were also possessed by aliens. What if they live together, wouldn't it become a breeding ground for aliens? That's why I asked you to find out. If they live together, find a way to separate them." "I see," Ding Naiqing realized again, and affirmed Tu Ran, "Sister Ran, you are so thoughtful."

Tu Ran: “…”

She didn't know how many times she had heard Ding Naiqing's affirmation of herself, and she had become numb to it.

"Then you eat. I'm going to rest." Tu Ran stood up, turned around and prepared to leave.

But suddenly I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, it was Xie Xu.

He was also having a meal. His short jet-black hair was still a little messy, with a small tuft sticking up in the air, which was completely different from his serious and solemn face.

At this moment, the two of them looked at each other, and Tu Ran didn't know whether she should go over and say hello.

After all, he had saved her life from the monster He Luo. She had wanted to thank him at that time, but when she changed her clothes and came out, he was nowhere to be seen. The last time they met was in the conference room, which was definitely not a good time to thank him.

This would be a good opportunity to say thank you to him, but Tu Ran didn't want to move.

She always felt that Xie Xu was very smart, so smart that he was dangerous.

She was a fake and she didn't dare go over there.

Xie Xu simply looked at her and then lowered his head.

Maybe he didn't recognize her? Tu Ran was delighted. It didn't matter if he didn't recognize her. He could just forget about her.

Tu Ran was about to leave this place quickly, but the communicator on her wrist rang before her.

Tu Ran looked down and saw a message.

Two simple words: "Come here".

Sender: Xie Xu, senior member of the institute.

Tu Ran: “…”

Why did she feel like a primary school student who pretended not to see her class teacher but was eventually discovered and called over to be scolded?

Moving her feet, Tu Ran walked with difficulty to the side opposite Xie Xu and sat down. She had already thought of countless possibilities of why Xie Xu asked her to come over.

Putting on a proper smile, Tu Ran asked, "What do you want to talk to me about, Researcher Xie?"

Xie Xu put down the chopsticks in his hand. His slender fingers were naturally bony and very pleasing to the eye.

"Didn't your group go to Fengli County? Why are you here?" Xie Xu spoke with an indifferent voice and stern eyes.

Tu Ran thought to herself, this guy wouldn't think that their group was just slacking off, right?

"The two of us are responsible for investigating the farm of Mr. Kenny Egan in Fengli County. According to our investigation, there is more than one species of reptiles in this farm, but we can't be sure how many species are hiding there. For the safety of the team members, I chose to go back to the headquarters for the night." Tu Ran explained calmly.

Xie Xu frowned, his face solemn, "Reptiles, Serpents? This type of alien species has the strongest reproductive capacity, and can produce hundreds of offspring in a single day during the breeding season."

Tu Ran was shocked. "Is there any need to investigate Kenny Egan's farm?"

It should be their breeding season now. After such a night, how many humans can survive on the farm? The risks outweigh the benefits. There is no need to investigate.

Xie Xu naturally understood the implication of her words. He pondered for a while and said, "Continue investigating and find the first alien species that entered the farm. It is very valuable for research. As for manpower, I will assign two experienced pioneers from my side to assist you in the investigation."
