Chapter 28 Source



After confirming that there were no living bull beasts, he turned around and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Chen Ming suddenly saw a huge figure limping towards him in the rain not far away.

This was also a mad bull beast, but its right front leg seemed to have been broken on the road.

It had only just arrived here when all its counterparts in front had died.

Chen Ming raised his pistol, aimed at the bull's eyes, and prepared to end its life.

But after thinking about it, Chen Ming moved the gun away, aimed at its other good leg, and shot.

The bullet failed to penetrate its knee completely, but was stuck between the bones.

But the bull didn't feel any pain at all. Instead, it continued to move forward while dragging its injured leg.

Before it took two steps, it fell to its knees on the ground, squirming desperately.

Chen Ming went around behind it and shot off both of its hind legs.

The bull with all its limbs broken could only struggle in vain on the ground. Under its body, there was a large pool of blood, not rotten blood, which gradually accumulated into a small pool and was washed away by the rain.

Chen Ming immediately quickened his pace, returned to the spaceship, and found the hemostatic herbs in the cold storage.

And a piece of extra iron chain that Chen Ming made two days ago to reinforce the fence.

After some effort, Chen Ming tied up the paralyzed bull with an iron chain and connected one end of the chain to the spacecraft.

During this time it was still struggling, and the intense activity caused its blood loss to worsen.

Fortunately, Chen Ming applied medicine to its wounds before it bled to death.

The injured legs that had lost consciousness and were completely unable to move were also wrapped in bandages to stop the bleeding.

Do all this.

The bull beast's madness still did not ease at all.

Chen Ming shook his head slightly, confirmed again that the chains would not be broken, and returned to the spaceship.

The spaceship slowly took off, and the sound of iron chains followed.

Carrying the wobbly bull-beast, the spaceship flew towards the temporary survival camp built by Chen Ming.

After setting the flight route, Chen Ming searched the spacecraft and finally found the small stone in the ore in the storage cabin.

At this moment, it was curled up into a ball, and its body was shaking slightly unconsciously.

Chen Ming poked it with the tender sprouts he had prepared in his pocket.

Xiaoshi's body shook violently and he turned around slowly.

The pair of small eyes had lost their previous liveliness, as if they were suffering from unbearable pain.

It even lost interest in its favorite tender leaves placed in front of it.

Seeing that Chen Ming did not take any further action, Xiao Shi continued to curl up into a ball, his body still shaking unconsciously.

It wasn't fear, it was more like some kind of physical discomfort.

Xiaoshi seemed to be affected by the same unknown thing as those animals, which could drive them crazy and cause their bodies to rot.

But Xiaoshi seemed to have it under control and was actively suppressing that madness.

What is the root cause of this madness for animals? Chen Ming must find out.

If this kind of madness affects others, including myself, one day, maybe if I start thinking of ways now, I can save myself or Xiaoshi's life in the future.

That's why Chen Ming saved the life of the bull beast hanging on the spacecraft, hoping to find some answers from it.

But Chen Ming didn't stop there.

Just because you catch a crazy animal doesn't mean everything is figured out.

After dropping the bull off at the side of the temporary camp and making sure its wounds had not split open again, and that it would not die from excessive blood loss in a short period of time.

Chen Ming controlled the spaceship to take off again and flew towards the east of the camp.

There may be an answer there.

Because just now, Chen Ming noticed that there was a very slight time difference in the transition of the group of cattle beasts from calm to madness.

The water splashed faster near the east side, which meant that the cattle beasts near the east side fell into madness earlier.

Chen Ming didn't believe in coincidences and didn't think that going crazy would happen in a very regular manner among this herd of nearly thirty cattle.

There must be something to the east.

Moreover, the same thing happened to the group of empty jellyfish that Chen Ming encountered when the spacecraft attempted to land for the first time.

At the beginning, the landing point was actually not too far from where Chen Ming was building the camp.

Although I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, I can now clearly see it when I reopen the video from the spacecraft's camera.

There were crazy jellyfish all around the spacecraft at that time, and the first batch of jellyfish that came to attack the spacecraft also came from the direction close to the east.

This situation further confirmed Chen Ming's guess.

As the speed of the spacecraft increased, today's sudden rainstorm gradually stopped.

The stars behind the clouds reappeared, and the light illuminated the ground, making everything within Chen Ming's sight look brand new.

There are also many new sprouts growing at the junction of purple vegetation and green vegetation, creating a vibrant scene.

But before figuring out what was going on with the crazy animals on this planet, Chen Ming had no intention of appreciating this beautiful scenery.

The spacecraft quickly crossed the border area between purple vegetation and green vegetation and completely entered the area covered by green vegetation.

Several cameras on the outside of the spacecraft kept scanning the ground below, hoping to find something.

But after a period of time, Chen Ming still didn't find anything abnormal.

However, Xiaoshi suddenly ran out from the storage cabin, climbed onto Chen Ming's shoulder along the chair in the captain's room, and started to nibble on the tender sprout that Chen Ming had just placed next to the ore.

It looks like it has returned to normal.

Chen Ming reached out and touched Xiao Shi's head and said, "Are you okay?"

Xiao Shi didn't respond, but just rubbed Chen Ming's face.

The urgent feeling in Chen Ming's heart relaxed a little.

However, although the abnormality in Xiaoshi has disappeared, I can't give up easily.

What if there is a next time, what if Xiaoshi can't bear it anymore, where can I find a life to accompany me through the lonely days in space? And it's not just Xiaoshi, other animals will be affected even more.

If all the animals around you have gone crazy, where can you find your prey?

Find a new priority landing site? Not to mention whether there will be these crazy animals even if we change the location.

Even if there is no such thing, how long will it take to earn back the time it takes to familiarize himself with the landing site again, and the cost of the crops he has already planted but has yet to harvest? Therefore, Chen Ming cannot just leave like this before he completely loses the possibility of resolving this situation.

Time passed as the spacecraft conducted a carpet search.

Half of the stars have already disappeared over the horizon.

Chen Ming had already given up any hope, but just before the light of the star disappeared.

Chen Ming suddenly saw a special place on the surveillance camera that was out of tune with the surrounding environment.

A complex of abandoned stone buildings.
