Chapter 145 Fair Competition
Although most of the ones left behind were low-level Tarri bugs, the team members still spent a lot of effort to deal with these ghost creatures.
In particular, Eli, who was an attacker, and his teammates from the support department held on to the end. After using up the energy of the flame gun, they took turns using impact guns, armor and other weapons and equipment. They even used the ability to materialize their mental power to break through the "insect" siege and escape from the central city.
An exploration mission turned into a horror escape game.
If any one of them had trypophobia, he would have died on the spot without a word.
Fortunately, Eli's team has very strong psychological endurance.
Back on the spacecraft, they even discovered and dealt with a small number of deeply hidden parasites while testing their protective clothing.
The red spots on Eli's clothes were traces of the Tarri bugs he had dealt with before he quickly changed into new protective clothing.
At that time, his spiritual sea was already so depleted that it caused physical discomfort.
On the return journey from M32 to the Federation Star, no matter how much they wanted to rest, they didn't sleep a wink.
The spacecraft's chosen landing site was also an uninhabited, scorching island. Once they disembarked, they immediately burned the piloting tool. Aside from the weapons and collection tubes already in storage, nothing else was left on the spacecraft, including two sets of expensive protective suits.
The trip was tiring, but they also gained a lot - they brought back a lot of collection tubes containing low-level Tarri insects, as well as a few high-level living organisms to supplement the research institute's demand for Zerg experimental subjects.
"Eli." After he finished speaking, Ivis spoke with a serious look in his eyes.
"Here!" As soon as he saw the stern look in the Marshal's eyes, Eli couldn't help but straighten his back, feeling scared in his heart.
Elvis's tone was calm, but contained a warning: "From now on, whenever you are involved in a search, you must first apply for permission from your superiors. You are not allowed to act without permission. Do you understand?"
Otherwise, with only a few people and incomplete weapons, accidents could easily happen.
Eli nodded heavily and bowed very straight and sincerely: "I understand, Marshal Ives."
"In other words... it has been confirmed that the planets occupied by the Zerg are M32 and C44?" Tracy pondered.
Elvis: “More than that.”
These two planets have been invaded to such an extent and extent that it is impossible for them to remain undiscovered.
They don't yet know how many other planets are still suffering secret persecution.
"Oh, right," Tracy recalled something and brought it up, "Your Excellency, Marshal, I once sent you information on the laptop about the kidnappers and the TRA..."
"I've read it." Elvis nodded. "Thank you very much. It's very useful."
Tracy arched her eyebrows and said, "As long as it's useful."
Elvis's meaning was clear - he would also be involved in the investigation of the TRA planet.
"Kidnappers? What kidnappers?" Eli was stunned, his heart pounding. "What happened?"
He didn't dare to ask the Marshal, so he had to move closer to Tracy and nudge his friend with his elbow. "Tracy, tell me what happened recently."
Tracy glanced at him, didn't refuse, and spoke simply and clearly.
During this period, the person whose change was most obvious was Tong Wanwan.
From her disappearance and self-rescue, to her awakening of her mental power, to her "recommendation" to the First Military Academy of the Federation with excellent test scores, every single thing left Eli stunned.
"Good guy..." The blond major general murmured unconsciously.
From a gentle, sweet and charming girl who seemed to be born to live in daily dramas, she suddenly transformed into an excellent military academy student.
Even a screenwriter wouldn't dare to write like this.
Eli suddenly remembered that when he first met the girl, he had guessed that Wanwan might be a spiritual food tycoon who was hiding his identity.
Now that I think about it, he was half right!
If you remove the word "spiritual food", Wanwan is still the boss!
Unable to bear Eli's silly look, Tracy sighed and looked away.
Only when she saw Ivis transform back into a cub and walk out of the pet room did Tracy turn her gaze back.
After hesitating for a moment, the hand that was about to reach out to the other person's shoulder moved upwards and instead grabbed the golden hair of "Stupid Mouse".
Clothes...are too dirty, I don't want to touch them.
"Hiss! It hurts, it hurts." Eli came back to his senses, shook his head, and tried his best to push away his friend's fingers. "Tracy, what are you doing?"
"What are you fantasizing about?" The long-haired young man looked helpless and exposed the major general's little thoughts.
"Eh?" Eli played dumb, blinked innocently, and looked back.
What are you thinking about?
Just... wait until Wanwan graduates, and then recruit her into the Third Legion to play together.
When she graduated, she thought she could reach the rank of general.
When the time comes, we will join forces and have a great time!
"I forgot to tell you, His Excellency the Marshal and Wanwan have been getting closer recently..." Tracy kindly reminded.
Eli: “?”
really!
He missed a lot during the time he was away from the pet shop!
"By the way," Tracy coughed lightly and said apologetically, "I can't do what you asked me to do as your wingman."
"Why?"
Tracy lowered her eyelids, and with a calm expression and tone, she said something that shocked Eli.
"No reason, I just don't want to help you chase someone I like too."
After saying that, he imitated Eli and said, "Come on, brother," then turned around and turned into a long-tailed tit and flew home to deal with business.
Eli: “?!”
This sentence contained too much information, like a bombshell, which stunned the major general.
Could it be that Tracy meant—
He also fell in love with Tong Wanwan?
No amount of question marks and exclamation marks could describe Eli's astonishment and complicated mood at the moment.
Since she was a child, Tracy has always been as dull as stagnant emotionally.
It was the first time he heard his friend admit in person that he had a clear crush on a girl.
So, Tracy is going to compete with him fairly?
The blond young man knitted his eyebrows tightly together, his face full of confusion and depression.
He really doesn't chase people...
Besides, Wanwan has Marshal Elvis guarding her closely.
It's really difficult for him to face his idol and boss.
but……
Eli pondered.
Maybe Wanwan doesn't like guys who are too dull, nor does she like guys who are too gentle, but rather likes the "little milk dog" type like him?
Thinking of this, he felt happy again.
Don't ask Major General why he understands his own attributes so well.
As a qualified StarNet user, this is just basic literacy.
