Chapter 349: Battle of Green and Red Snakes
"Be serious, this is a battle, don't be lazy." Nangong Jingming's voice came through the communicator with a hint of seriousness.
"Yes, I won't do that again." Chen Zeyu responded quickly, a trace of shame on his face. He quickly adjusted his state and threw himself into the battle again.
With the fall of the last Green-Red Snake Zerg, the battle was declared over. The battlefield was filled with smoke and the pungent smell of Zerg corpses. Ye Xuexin frowned as he looked at the pile of Green-Red Snake Zerg corpses. He asked worriedly, "Do we need to take all these Zerg corpses back with us?"
"No, but the cores of these green and red snake insects still need to be taken. They are the key to calculating points. Also, the skins of these green and red snake insects are also high-quality materials for making armor." Chen Zeyu gave professional advice based on his rich experience.
"Do we need to turn in the cores?" Feng Bolin thought. He had finally defeated the Zerg, and he didn't want to give them up easily. "No, but we need to count them. These will be used to calculate points," Chen Zeyu explained.
"That's about right, Captain. Let's collect all the skins of the green and red snake insects!" After all, they are good materials for making armor, and Feng Bailin naturally doesn't want to miss it.
"Captain, we have skinning machines that can quickly solve the problem," Chen Zeyu said, and immediately pulled out a small, exquisite robot from the space button. The robot had a unique shape, with multiple mechanical arms that moved flexibly, and it was obvious that it was designed specifically for skinning.
"Then I'll trouble you to collect the skins of the green and red snake insect tribe. I'll give you an extra layer when the time comes." Nangong Jingming looked at the small machine that Chen Zeyu took out, and sighed in his heart that he really didn't prepare such a tool.
"No need, Captain, just divide it according to the normal way. We are a team." Chen Zeyu quickly refused. In his opinion, team cohesion is more important than interests.
"Yes, Captain, we can't divide them like that. This is what we're supposed to do," Number One echoed. He pulled out his skinning machine, expertly set the parameters, and began skinning the Zerg corpses. The others followed suit, and soon, multiple skinning machines hummed across the battlefield, working efficiently.
Thanks to these advanced skinning machines, the skins of the Green and Red Snake Zerg were quickly processed. Afterward, the group set the Zerg corpses ablaze, instantly engulfing them. A pungent odor filled the air. They chose to incinerate them because they knew that if the Zerg corpses were not promptly processed, they would likely attract other Zerg species, creating another problem.
After defeating the Green and Red Snake Zerg, they continued along their planned route. Along the way, they encountered several more Zerg species, though their numbers were limited, often only a few. Thanks to their teamwork and immense strength, they easily defeated each one. After each battle, they carefully selected usable parts, such as the Zerg's core and specialized organs, and then continued on their journey.
Before they knew it, the sky gradually darkened. The afterglow of the setting sun cast a golden veil over the dense forest, casting a shadow over this mysterious land. Before complete darkness fell, they finally found a relatively flat, open area and decided to set up camp for the night. However, as they prepared to set up their tents, they discovered that the tents they had brought were prohibited items and could not be used during the assessment. This was undoubtedly a stark wilderness survival challenge.
"Brother Nangong, how are we going to get through today? Will it be very cold at night?" Su Siyi looked at the gradually darkening sky, her heart filled with worry. She was worried that her grandfather and his family were too old to withstand the cold at night.
"I don't know if it will be cold, but don't worry. Even if it is, we can just surround our people and let Grandpa and the others stay in the innermost part." Nangong Jingming comforted him softly, his eyes revealing determination and concern. When Su Siyi heard this, she immediately understood his thoughts and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
"Let's all go collect some dead branches!" Nangong Jingming looked around, thinking of using fire to keep warm and illuminate at night, and perhaps to ward off some possible dangers.
"Yes." Although Chen Zeyu was puzzled as to why they had to collect dead branches, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he decisively turned around and started working. He knew that in a team, obeying the captain's orders was the key to victory.
"Brother Chen, what are we going to do with these dry branches?" Number Two couldn't help but ask Chen Zeyu while bending down to pick up the dead branches.
"I don't know, but since the captain said so, I'll do it." Chen Zeyu answered without raising his head.
"Okay, I'm just curious. I thought Brother Chen, you might know something!" Number Two said helplessly, but he didn't stop the movement of his hands.
"Brother Chen, your sister was feeling a little unwell just now. I asked her to rest in the camp. You can go back and see her later!" Number Three hurried over and said to Chen Zeyu.
"Oh, I see. I'll go see her later." Chen Zeyu's heart tightened. He calculated the days and guessed that his sister's special period must have arrived. "Brother Chen, if my sister still feels uncomfortable later, I will carry her on my back." Number Three patted his chest and said firmly. He really didn't want to embarrass Chen Zeyu.
"It's okay. By the way, other women in the team, you have to pay more attention to the situation. If you feel unwell, tell me in advance and I will make arrangements." Chen Zeyu looked at No. 3 gratefully and reminded her.
"Don't worry, they are all our sisters." Number Three said with a smile.
"Well, hurry up and work, and go back early." Chen Zeyu urged.
At this time, Gu Zhilun walked up to Nangong Jingming and asked, "Captain, what are we eating today?"
"You decide on the arrangements. Forget about the nutrient solution." Nangong Jingming frowned. In this difficult environment, he really didn't want everyone to drink the bland nutrient solution.
"Captain, I don't know if these green and red snake Zerg can be eaten. I collected a few corpses." Gu Zhilun scratched his head a little embarrassedly. After all, he himself felt that it was a bit risky to propose the idea of eating Zerg.
"Well, I'm really not sure. At least the interstellar people never eat these Zerg." Nangong Jingming said truthfully. In the cognition of the interstellar people, the Zerg have always been regarded as enemies and resources, not food.
"Master, this green-red snake insect race can be eaten, but the violent interstellar substances need to be removed." At this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Su Siyi's ears.
