131 Chapter 131
Chapter 131
Facts have once again proved that if you fight a battle that you are not sure of winning without being fully prepared, you will definitely suffer heavy losses.
If they had managed to win narrowly despite difficulties in the previous battle, then this time, their victory was a tragic one.
Looking at the people lying on the ground around him, and some of them dying, if it weren't for the healing ability users who didn't even care about their own lives and rushed forward to rescue them, they would probably be dead now.
"No, if we continue like this, even if we move forward, we will only be sacrificing our own lives.
Even if we're lucky enough to figure out what's going on inside, can we be sure that after losing these top-tier warriors, the rear can still withstand the attacks of those mutant plants and animals that are constantly growing stronger?"
Seeing that the team leader still wanted to lead the team forward, Captain Dai blocked the team leader with one hand and spoke in a serious tone.
He also knew that this time, both they and the team leader had a heavy burden to bear, but for now, they could tentatively move forward slowly, but they could not rush in directly as they were doing now.
They took their time, and although it cost them precious time, it was also a kind of guarantee.
"I understand what you mean, but if we retreat now, who can guarantee we'll be able to reach this point again next time? It'll take too long. Can the people left behind withstand those mutant plants and animals? As you know, those mutant plants and animals are getting stronger all the time."
After listening to Captain Dai's words, the team leader was silent for a while, and finally said these words.
His voice was calm, as if he was not the one who was eager to take people in to find out the situation.
"I know my actions were a bit aggressive, but what else can we do?"
As he spoke, he looked up and met Captain Dai's gaze with a serious expression, as if he was trying to get some useful ideas from the other person.
Unfortunately, the answer he received was silence.
"You can't do anything about it, can you?"
The two looked at each other for a long time. Finally, the injured leader sighed lightly, looking a little lonely. He drooped his eyelids again and no longer looked at the wounded lying on the ground around him.
It is worth mentioning that he himself is now one of the injured.
Seeing that one person's fatal weakness was locked by the mutant plant and there was no way to save both of them in an emergency situation, he directly sent himself forward to absorb the damage.
The man was rescued, but he himself was also seriously injured. The person who had just treated him asked him to sit down and have a good rest, but he refused to listen and insisted on standing up, thinking that he was invincible and the spiritual pillar of the team.
In fact, everyone in the team knew his current condition, but they didn't say it because they were afraid that after being exposed, he would jump around on the mutant plants that had just been killed nearby for a while before calming down in order to prove that he was fine.
He himself is guilty, and he probably has to add a burden to those with healing abilities.
"Let's integrate the people with special abilities in our team. If we can't go any further and you don't want to retreat, then find a place to set up camp now."
There's no other way. This is a compromise after failing to come up with a better solution.
"Once they're settled, we'll explain the situation directly to them. Perhaps we can learn some solutions we haven't thought of. After all, their abilities are their own, and they have the final say on how to use them. All we know are the publicly available data."
After Captain Dai finished speaking, he stopped talking.
In fact, before this mission came out, his old man called him for unknown reasons and made some predictions that he himself was not sure about.
At first he didn't know what was going on, even his grandfather himself didn't understand.
But when this prediction gave them tasks, he suddenly understood something.
That prediction simply predicted how dangerous the target location would be.
If there were no changes, their entire team would be killed.
Captain Dai was afraid that he was not the variable, so he even refused the task of leading the team when he arrived.
Let leaders consider other candidates.
Normally speaking, the team leader who has been leading a team and ranked first among many capable teams for a long time is the most qualified to lead the team.
But at this point, he had to think of a bad direction. Even if he gave up some space, he still couldn't let that variable in, which led to their current predicament.
Once this idea comes into being, it cannot be erased in a short period of time.
This was a compromise he came up with after opposing the team leader's idea.
Since he is not sure whether there is the so-called variable in this team, let the person come out on his own.
After thinking this through, he agreed to camp in such a dangerous environment and followed the leader's idea of not going out but finding a solution as soon as possible on the spot.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the team leader listens to advice.
It now seems that the leaders had taken the current situation into consideration when they chose the team leader from the beginning, and he was very receptive to advice.
After discovering that his own approach was not suitable, he decisively changed his plan after considering the feasibility of other people's suggestions.
The team stopped and no longer moved forward, but instead set up camp on the spot. In the eyes of other people with special abilities, it was because there were too many wounded on their side, and the team leader and team leader had to choose to stop.
The emergence of this decision made other people with special abilities a little worried. If at the beginning, they still held on to luck and thought that the mutated animals and plants here were not too powerful, at least they could deal with them with so many people.
But judging from the results of several battles after going up the mountain, they really couldn't gain any advantage from those mutated animals and plants.
In particular, the further they went in, the stronger the mutated plants and animals they faced became. This reality destroyed their last bit of luck.
"Look, sweetheart, this is what I just secretly found next to the mutant animal's nest. The things that mutant animals and plants put next to their nests must be the best."
As he said this, he stuffed the thing in his hand into his son's hand and motioned him to eat it.
The drunkard was also very worried about the current state of the others. If another powerful mutant animal or plant rushed out of the woods, they would not be able to resist it in their current state.
He was afraid that his sweet baby wouldn't even have the strength to resist, so he tried his best to find good food for his child during the journey.
The drunk himself didn't get to eat much good food.
According to his own thinking, since he had no offensive power, he could only hide because of the mutant wild duck following him. He would share the good things he got with his own children and the duck, and he would just eat the rest.
It replenishes your physical strength and improves your abilities, what's wrong with that?
However, when this idea came to the attention of those people around who were still receiving treatment, he didn't know what to do.
He knew that his abilities were limited, and he was lucky to be able to come in and look after Guaibao. He met Wild Duck, who had only this ability.
Otherwise, with his current abilities, he would not be able to appease those animals and plants all the way here.
To put it bluntly, even his good baby's ability was limited due to the difference in strength when facing those mutated animals and plants, let alone him.
I guess he would be kicked to death by those mutated animals and plants before he even got up. It’s not worth it just thinking about it.
Because he was very clear about his own abilities, he was very cautious with every step he took from the moment he went up the mountain, for fear that he would accidentally provoke mutated animals and plants that he could not handle, and end up causing trouble for others.
Fortunately, he is fine until now.
Although he did not participate in the previous battle, he did not just wait on the sidelines. He walked around and looked at all the resources that could be taken away. Only after the battle of others was over did Renguaibao tell the others about this.
It can be said that the drunkard's presence is more noticeable in front of those few people with perception abilities, but only in this area.
Fortunately, everyone else knew his temperament and strength, and did not comment on the fact that he did not participate in the battle but instead walked around the field.
After all, if he really plays, it's hard to say whether he will help or hinder.
Because there had just been a battle around here, they were still in the territory of the mutant animal they had killed. No other mutant animals would come here until the mutant animal's breath completely dissipated.
This greatly facilitated their actions. For example, now they easily found a place to camp and successfully set up the camp.
The wounded now have a place to stay and a quiet place to recover from their injuries.
As for the remaining ones who were still able to move, they were sent out to collect those resources.
After all, they have to stay here for a while, and they can't just eat all the food provided by the ability center. What these ability users eat is basically the food with extremely high spiritual energy content. Such food is extremely expensive in various safe bases.
Even the top leaders of the Flower Growing Family rarely eat it on a daily basis. Whenever there is food, most of it is provided to those with special abilities like them.
Such scarce food is rare in the ability center. After all, there are so many ability users who need to eat, and they consume food.
But it’s different outside. As long as they are not picky about taste, basically, the resources and food collected from outside are enough to meet their daily needs.
The mutation direction of most edible plants out there is uncertain. Some plants of the same species are delicious, while others have a taste that is hard to describe, and they grow quite arbitrarily.
The other people with special abilities were all busy out, and Guaibao was still young, so even if he went out he couldn't bring back much. So he simply controlled the small animals in the camp to help with the sorting.
At first he was doing fine, but after a while, he started trudging towards the drunkard with his legs clattering, an anxious expression on his face, obviously he had discovered something.
He himself couldn't be sure, so he had to ask his father for confirmation.
The child was so anxious that he didn't care about anything else. How could he hide his condition from others present?
Captain Dai was originally watching other people with special abilities who were collecting resources around him. He was alert to the surrounding environment, fearing that mutated animals and plants would launch a sneak attack without any moral principles.
Unexpectedly, the mutated animals and plants did not appear, but he noticed the child's movements.
