55. White afterimage
Su Liu was even more nervous than the people taking the exam. As soon as they finished the exam, he immediately went to greet them.
"How's it going?" Yan Ziyan sighed, "It's more difficult than I thought."
"But we can still handle it." Lan Xiang'er was quite confident.
Rosa said, "I hope I can pass it and join the plantation team as soon as possible. It will be very beneficial to our careers."
Su Liu sincerely hopes that they can all pass the exam to become purifier assistants and help her do more work.
At the weekend, Su Liu received an invitation from Siegfried.
"The Level I infection area is on the Medieval Star. There are many exotic animals and plants there. You should be very interested in it." Siegfried said.
Su Liu checked the local situation on his computer and said after two minutes, "Is this the Lasgard Plain? This used to be a human city, but it was reduced to ruins after a catastrophe?"
"Yes, Fei Yali and the others have been there before. They said it's not dangerous and there are still many unexplored areas."
Su Liu answered without thinking: "I'll join, senior."
Siegfried said, "Then it's confirmed that you will be the Purifier. I'll notify you once the team is complete."
"Okay!" Su Liu also wanted to make some preparations during this period.
At the end of the month, the medical department also had midterm exams, and Toyama Sara sent a message to Su Liu.
Sara Toyama: Su-chan, I heard that you and Siegfried are going to the infected area?
Su Liu: Yes, senior sister, do you want to join us?
Toyama Sara sent a wry smile emoticon and said: We have exams for nine consecutive days and we really can’t get away.
Su Liu asked: Do you have such a wealth of knowledge?
Toyama Sara: Graduates of the military academy's medical department go straight to the battlefield. Unlike regular medical schools, where there's internship and regular training, we have to compress what other medical students would have learned in eight or nine years into three years.
Su Liu was shocked.
Doesn't that mean you have to perform surgery on patients as soon as you graduate?
The medical department is also really great.
But Toyama Sara sent a special message, definitely not to complain about the exam.
Su Liu waited quietly, and sure enough, Yuanshan Sarada said again: "Junior sister, if you get a plant with medical value, can you leave one for me? I will use the crystal core in exchange."
A healer's treatment does not rely solely on supernatural powers, but also requires the assistance of medicine.
It's understandable that Sara Toyama wants medical exotic plants.
Su Liu thought about it and replied: No problem.
It's not easy to get to know a healer, there's no need to stubbornly reject even this small request.
Besides, they don’t get it for free.
Siegfried quickly gathered the team. Su Liu asked Fu Yanlai, the weapons were not yet ready.
Thinking that it was only a Level I infection area, there would be no need for weapons, so Su Liu didn't wait and set off with Siegfried's team.
This time it is still a seven-man team, with five combat types, one healer, and one purifier.
On the airship, everyone got to know each other, but there wasn't much in-depth communication.
We soon arrived at the Lasgard Plain, which was mainly populated by human cities. However, many high-rise buildings had collapsed and the roads were broken by dense vegetation.
The seven people explored along the road, and the storage robot followed nimbly behind.
On the roadside, alien plants more than ten meters high launched an attack, and countless long white "swords" on the umbrella crowns flew out in unison, but they were all easily dealt with by several people from the combat department.
Su Liu stepped forward to purify it and took away some seeds.
Siegfried asked, "What is it?"
“Dandelion.”
Thinking about Dandelion's delicate appearance, Siegfried said, "How could he become so ferocious after the mutation?"
Su Liu smiled but said nothing.
A fat man in the team asked: "What do you want dandelions for? What value can they have?"
"Dandelion has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and dispersing nodules. It is also a kind of forage grass, which is quite valuable to me." Su Liu specially left some seeds without purification and placed them in a specially made cage.
Another senior student was envious: "In the eyes of you purifiers, even the mud on the roadside is a treasure?"
Without waiting for Su Liu to reply, Siegfried said, "They're even digging up the swamp soil."
The combat-type people all exclaimed in good faith.
It was daytime and the weather was clear. The sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
It was a beautiful and peaceful scene, but no one dared to be careless.
Passing by a bamboo forest, Su Liu asked everyone to stop and then started digging bamboo shoots.
Several people have eaten bamboo shoots at some point or another and know that they are edible and taste very good.
Except for two vigilant patrols, everyone else helped dig.
After two hours, several large baskets were dug out, and the storage robot's chest locker was full.
Siegfried set the course, and Robot One returned to the airship.
He pressed the ring again, and a "ping-pong ball" popped out. After landing, it spun rapidly for several circles. The mechanical head and limbs stretched out with a click, and quickly formed Storage Robot No. 2 in the blue light.
Su Liu kept looking up, but he didn't see any blooming bamboo.
Come to think of it, there shouldn’t be any bamboo rice in this season.
The fat man came to Su Liu and looked up.
"Schoolgirl, what are you looking at? What's on it?"
Su Liu said, "I'm going to look for bamboo seeds. If I can plant a bamboo forest, I'll have an endless supply of bamboo shoots to eat."
The fat man was shocked: "Aren't bamboo seeds bamboo shoots?"
Su Liu laughed, "No, bamboo seeds are bamboo rice. However, if the bamboo shoots retain the bamboo rhizomes and shoots, they can also be grown into bamboo."
However, they will not return for the time being. During this period, bamboo shoots are likely to "die", and the success rate of sowing seeds when they go back is not high.
The fat man asked what Zhumi looked like and was about to help look for it when suddenly, a snow-white shadow floated past from a distance.
"What is that!" The fat man suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck and his whole body hunched over.
Siegfried immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
The fat man swung his sledgehammer and pointed at the edge of the bamboo forest in fear: "There's something over there!"
The other people didn't see anything, and the senior student also said, "Really? I don't think there's anything unusual."
Su Liu actually caught a glimpse of a white afterimage from the corner of his eye, but his reaction wasn't as dramatic as the fat man's. "It seems like a white shadow has floated past."
The fat man screamed, "Don't use the word 'floating'!"
One person complained: "You're a person with superpowers, and you're afraid of ghosts?"
"Bullshit, I'm not afraid!" The fat man was cold from head to toe, but he still insisted, "I'm more worried about it being a strange plant. It appears out of nowhere and might wipe us out!"
But just as he finished speaking, another white shadow floated over at an astonishing speed.
Now everyone saw it, and felt a chill down their spines because of the shape of the thing.
Su Liu is not very afraid of ghosts, and he also feels that this is an interstellar world, how can ghosts be scarier than strange beasts and plants?
She was just about to say don't be afraid, when suddenly, the white shadow appeared silently in front of everyone, only two or three meters away from them, so fast that even Siegfried didn't react.
It had the shape of a woman, its whole body was snow-white, even its long hair that dragged on the ground was as white as silk.
A breeze blew, and the long hair spread out, revealing a gray face with bright red lips.
“Ahhhhhh—”
Caught off guard, the fat man screamed, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted in Siegfried's arms.
