Chapter 90: Rescue on the Desolate Planet 13 [2nd Update]
In a one-on-one fight, anyone in the Goshawk Team may be defeated, but in terms of coordinated combat, the Goshawk Team has almost never been defeated. Just like now, Han Qing and Ren Wei are controlling two mechas, sometimes as fast as wind and lightning, so fast that the sea monster is confused, and sometimes as slow as a snail, so slow that the sea monster is even more confused. It can't dodge or hit, and after a while, it becomes so angry that it seems like it can self-destruct at any time.
Well, this infuriating technique is quite powerful.
The battle over there was fierce, but the mutant withered vines here suddenly moved. A thick black vine suddenly attacked Chi Lin from the rear. The target of the black vine's attack was Chi Lin's leg joints. If it was hit, Chi Lin's ability to move would inevitably be damaged, or even cause a malfunction.
"This dead vine is so insidious. I was watching the show before, but now it actually attacks me by surprise!" No wonder He Ziqian didn't join the battle. It turned out that he was guarding against the sneak attack of the mutated dead vine. Now it seems that this is absolutely necessary!
"Sit down."
He Ziqian just gave a gentle reminder, and then he threw himself into the battle with the mutant withered vine. After a few rounds, the fight was even more intense than that of the sea monster, and even caused huge waves on the sea. It was not known whether it was intentional or unintentional. Anyway, since He Ziqian started fighting with the mutant withered vine, the sea monster had not been able to organize an effective attack, and it was so angry that its black tentacles began to wave all over the sky.
Han Qing and Ren Wei controlled their respective mechas, flexibly moving among the black tentacles and attacking from time to time, which annoyed the sea monster. However, it could not do anything to them, so it could only become more and more manic, dancing with countless black tentacles, turning the sea area upside down, and the sky became dark.
Ruan Xi's attention was now entirely on the virtual light screen. The battle between Chi Lin and the mutant withered vine was actually evenly matched... No, Chi Lin had gradually gained the upper hand, and the mutant withered vine began to lose strength and retreat.
"Hey, hey, hey... don't let it run away! I just saw its energy core!" In his previous life, he was used to seeing the crystal cores in zombies and mutated animals and plants. On Funong Star, he saw the huge energy contained in the energy core of the mutated vine. When he encountered mutated plants again, he would naturally pay more attention to them.
What's more, with the little tree reminding him repeatedly in his mind, how could he not notice it?
It was He Ziqian's first time hearing the term "energy core", but this did not prevent him from subconsciously trusting Ruan Xi.
"Where is it?"
"There's a circular protrusion on the main trunk near the sea surface. Its energy core is hidden inside! What a great thing!"
"Okay, I'll get it for you."
He Ziqian had no doubt that the energy core was a good thing, as it could make Ruan Xi so excited.
With such a clear goal, He Ziqian became more fierce in battle. As Ruan Xi watched, her eyes turned red with envy.
Damn it, even if you put two of his previous lives together, they still can't compare to He Ziqian's sharpness. This man was simply born for war. He was born to stand at the pinnacle of power.
Until Han Qing and Ren Wei completed the task assigned by He Ziqian, and until the sea monsters fled to the bottom of the sea due to being disturbed, the battle between He Ziqian and the mutant withered vine was not over.
"I say, has our captain gotten stronger again? What a fierce fighting style! That mutant withered vine is clearly no match for him."
"Well, I feel like today's captain is particularly powerful."
"Hurry, hurry, it's right there, it's exposed, don't let him run away!" Ruan Xi's excited shouting suddenly came from the communication channel. Then, He Ziqian followed Ruan Xi's command and pulled back the mutant withered vine that wanted to escape to the bottom of the sea like a sea monster. He was pulled back by Chi Lin, and with a strong force, he threw it directly into the air. The whole withered vine became fierce and looked very aggressive.
Unfortunately, He Ziqian is even more vicious than him.
He Ziqian was not afraid of the mutant dead vine that was falling rapidly. He jumped towards it. Everyone only heard a creepy swish sound. The dead vine that could not be cut by a knife or hit by a bullet was scattered all over the sea like fallen hair. A part of its trunk was still held in Chi Lin's hand.
It looked particularly miserable, and everyone couldn't help but sympathize with the mutant withered vine for a second.
"Here you go." Chi Lin dug out the energy from the trunk of the mutant withered vine and sent it into the main control room. He Ziqian took it and casually handed it to Ruan Xi.
"for you."
"...Aren't you curious? Don't you want it?" Ruan Xi felt that it was impossible for a person to be without greed. Just like him, he still had an endless greed to learn. It made no sense that He Ziqian, such a strong man, would not want to become stronger!
"I think it's more valuable to give it to you. Besides, didn't you just say that this energy core can help the small tree upgrade?" He Ziqian said it as a matter of course, as if what he gave away was not an energy core of a precious mutant plant, but just a small commodity that can be bought anywhere.
"Huh? Did I say that?" Ruan Xi was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't remember saying anything about the upgrade of the Tree of Life?
Damn, this guy can really read minds, and he even comes here to read his mind!
Ruan Xi's eyes suddenly became wary, causing He Ziqian to freeze for a moment. However, he quickly reacted and couldn't help but smile slightly. "I promise, I can't read minds. Even if I could, I wouldn't use it to read your mind."
He wanted to use his own heart to read Ruan Xi's heart.
These words suddenly popped up in his mind, and He Ziqian was shocked. He didn't know when he started to have these "excessive" thoughts about Ruan Xi, but he couldn't control himself, nor did he want to control himself.
He wanted to let nature take its course and see what kind of connection he could establish between him and Ruan Xi.
"...Okay, I was just talking nonsense." After Ruan Xi realized this almost willful behavior, he felt embarrassed. For a moment, he did not dare to meet He Ziqian's gaze directly. He could only pretend to study the energy core in his hand to cover up the embarrassment.
However, He Ziqian was not affected at all. He just looked at Ruan Xi quietly and suddenly asked, "Does that sea monster also have an energy core in its body?"
They are all mutants and, in essence, have similarities.
"...There should be, I haven't seen it either." After all, after his rebirth, he had only seen the energy cores of mutated plants, but not the energy cores of mutated animals.
However, can that sea monster really be considered an animal?
"Boss, we've rescued two people. Look, their legs are still there, but they look a little shriveled." The mutant vines had been reduced to a pile of broken wood, and the sea monster had also fled. Ren Wei and Han Qing finally flew over in their mechas, carrying the two people they had rescued to Chi Lin. "Boss, please sign for them. Buy one, get one free!"
Ren Wei couldn't help but play tricks again, and then, unsurprisingly, he was hit on the head by Han Qing next to him... Well, it was his mecha Black Panther that took the punishment for him, and he immediately behaved himself.
"Captain, these two people were awake just now, but their consciousness was not very clear. Now they have fainted and cannot be woken up no matter what we do." Han Qing answered seriously, which made Ruan Xi's mouth twitch.
How did these two giant mechas execute the "wake up" command? Did they poke them with their fingers? Looking at those huge fingers, he was really worried that the two natives were actually knocked unconscious by the mechas' fingers, and they might have internal injuries.
"Bring them in, I'll check their physical condition." Ruan Xi quickly asked someone to bring in the two unconscious aborigines. After a careful examination, he found that both of them had suffered great damage both physically and mentally, especially in their lower limbs. The degree of muscle atrophy was relatively small, but the deadly problem was the poisonous fungi that had penetrated into the capillaries of their lower limbs.
"Are there poisonous mushrooms? Can you get poisoned by eating mushrooms?"
"Shut up and just listen!"
Ren Wei spoke first again, but unfortunately, his remarks were completely irrelevant to the topic, and everyone was amused by what they said. However, someone quickly suppressed him.
Who else could it be besides Han Qing?
"These fungi absorb nutrients from the host's body and grow on the sea monster, perhaps to transfer energy to the sea monster. Therefore, this sea monster is most likely artificially raised." After an inspection and a simple analysis, Ruan Xi came to this conclusion.
"Raising sea monsters? Damn, who is so awesome!" Ren Wei continued to take the lead, and his complaints were particularly powerful, but his temperament was a little bit immature.
"The research institute." He Ziqian gave a supplementary answer at the right time. The research institute was exactly the real rescue target announced in their mission.
But now, everyone feels that this research institute is not a good place, and the people inside are probably not much better.
"Following the clue of the sea monster, we will definitely be able to find the person who raised it. He Ziqian, do you have a way to find the sea monster again?" Considering the embarrassing situation of the previous video playback incident, Ruan Xi could only try his best not to show his shortcomings, and his smile was a bit forced.
"Well, Ren Wei has sent reconnaissance robots to follow it, so it can't get away."
"Huh... That's good. Let's find a place to stay. The physical condition of these two people is not good and they must be treated as soon as possible." There are enough medicinal materials, but his method of treatment is to take a medicinal bath. This kind of thing cannot be done while sitting in a mecha. If Chi Lin has self-awareness, he will probably be angry to death.
"Okay." He Ziqian had no intention of refutation and agreed immediately. He took Ruan Xi back to the land and found a safe place to land. Qingyi and Black Panther also landed immediately. However, none of them put away their mechas in case of emergency.
Half an hour later, the native successfully soaked in the medicinal bath tub. Ruan Xi even put some orange rainbow grass juice in the tub. Not long after, the wounds on the two natives' upper bodies began to heal rapidly, and in the end it was as if they had never been injured.
This magical scene stunned everyone in the Goshawk Team.
After staring at Ruan Xi in surprise, everyone turned to He Ziqian.
"Captain, where did you find this miracle doctor? Send us the address and we'll go find one too!"
This miracle doctor is simply amazing!
