A gust of wind swayed, and a branch stuck diagonally in the soil trembled, and a piece of rag on the cracked bark shook as if it were about to slip.

Another gust of wind passed, and the branches shook even more, and the part under it that sank into the soil may have been quite deep, and it persisted so that it did not fall to the ground, and from a distance it looked like the wind was blowing the grass. But the rags on the bark were finally blown up, and they still didn't give up a few cracks in the bark, and pulled up a few strands of silver as they flew out. Before long, the silk broke, twisting back to the brown bark, leaving a few twisted white lines that looked slippery and greasy.

The black rags rolled and swept into the mecha defense array, Guan Li quickly raised his mecha hand and bounced it away.

At the same time, five hundred meters away, a gray bird flew into the field of vision, and the terrible rough sound had just reached the ears, and the mecha that was close to him shot a beam of light straight away, and the gray bird broke its wings and fell, falling into the chaotic firewood forest below, which was originally the forest in front of the camp, but now it was almost razed to the ground, and there were broken branches and some freshly plucked old tree roots stacked horizontally, and occasionally there were very short tree cores erected unevenly.

The grey bird fell into it, unstartled by any living creatures, and the place was silent and ruined, showing no life.

Zhang Shenhai glanced over, and said angrily, "That's not." ”

It wasn't the weird bat they were on guard.

That's the undead bird.

In the Alliance's basic biology education curriculum, a class of birds that feed on carrion and dead flesh is collectively referred to as the undead bird, and the undead birds in each place are taxonomically different, but without exception. They instinctively smell the death of a creature and track it down.

This land is filled with a thick and greasy stench, and it will be the place where the undead birds feast.

Zhang Shenhai is studious. He has been walking with the expedition team members these days, and he has listened to a few discussions among the expedition team members in his free time, so the basic knowledge of biology that he learned on the Star Network before going to college has been revitalized in his mind a little.

"Captain, it may be an undead bird just now, it is said that after one comes, it will follow a flock." Zhang Shenhai dutifully reported with his shallow knowledge of biology. At this time, there is no fear of alarmism. Every tiny detail needs to be alerted.

Guan Li and Zhang Shenhai glanced at each other very quickly, and both of them had heavy faces.

All of them have to pass the Starnet basic education test before going to university, and biology is a compulsory subject. Even if you don't need biological knowledge for many years. But the popular name of the undead bird, once reminded, can always be remembered.

Guan Li knows about the undead birds, and the most disgusting thing about them is that they always appear in the land of death. It's not auspicious to listen to.

But. It doesn't make any difference whether it's coming, whether it's one or a flock, and there are no birds or beasts here.

Guan Li then turned his head to stare at the pile of mecha wreckage.

"Kill all creatures that come into sight." Luo Cheng reiterated coldly.

His order is actually not in line with the Alliance's species protection regulations on the new planet, but in a special critical moment, there is no need to study it in detail.

Heavily protected by mechs, Ryan slowly retreated from the wreckage. A man was held in his hand.

Guan Li's gaze fell on Ryan's arms, and the man was like a broken doll. Not a sound, not a breath, not a breath.

However, the limbs are still soft and there is no stiffness.

Guan Li breathed a sigh of relief, and he heard Zhang Shenhai next to him exhale loudly.

"Wrap up." Luo Cheng gave an order, and a team of mechs quickly flew back to the dock of the aircraft ship.

The mountains and rivers of Liuhua No. 3 stood still behind them, and the crisis was still lurking, but the aftermath would be the responsibility of the Xinghai Border Guards.

After listening to Captain Luo's mission end order, Ryan turned off the team frequency, and then he had time to look at Ilan, who was crooked on the side.

Her eyes were closed, her blood was gone, and a wisp of blood spilling from the corners of her lips had dried up, reflecting her pale face, and she was not half angry.

Ryan reached out and nudged his finger into the tip of her nose, the second time he'd done it. The first time he was in the pile of mecha wreckage, he barely dared to reach over to probe her snort, and his hands were trembling.

This time, with the experience of the last time, he waited for a while, and sure enough, he could still feel a faint trace of heat.

"Beauty, you are such a stingy person, you have worked in the restaurant for so long, and you have never invited me to a big dinner, don't donate money in the future, how long will you have to be heartbroken?" Ryan said, moving her fingers to scrape off the blood on Ilan's lips, but she didn't do anything, and all her symptoms had to be left to the doctor for diagnosis.

The doctors who stayed on the aircraft ship to take care of the members of the expedition team had already prepared hospital beds and were waiting in the dock cabin. After Ryan took Elan off the mech, he was immediately taken over by the doctor, and they neatly put Elan on the flat bed, only looked down twice, then shook off a bag, put it on Elan's feet, and wrapped her whole body in the bag. During the whole process, Ilan did not react.

Ryan grabbed the bed frame and blurted out, "She's angry." ”

"What's going on?" Murong said urgently.

"Xiao Tong will be sent to quarantine for examination first, and she has been close to the residual limbs of outer space creatures for a long time and short distances." "We all wanted it, but she couldn't move, so the procedure was different," the doctor explained. ”

Zhang Shenhai, Guan Li and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Two days later.

"Beauty, are you awake?"

Elan slowly opened her eyes and saw a man with red hair right above her head, a smile in his eyes.

She stared intently for a moment, her mind groggy.

"Beauty, don't you know?" The voice is still as good as ever.

"Ryan?" Her lips lifted slightly, and her voice was hoarse and low.

Ryan patted his chest and smiled, "It's good that I'm not stupid." ”

"You're dead?" Ilan asked in a daze.

Ryan choked and said angrily, "I'm jumping around and can't die." He looked at Ilan's face and complained, "You have to make sure you're still alive, and you don't need to use this method, it's really as stupid as before." ”

Ilan blinked, and slowly showed a smile: "Ryan." You're so noisy. ”

Ryan instantly smiled widely, "You're recovering pretty fast." ”

Ilan was a little tired and felt sleepiness hit her, and she asked angrily, "What about the others?" ”

"All alive."

The corners of Yilan's mouth pulled slightly: "What about Duanmu?" ”

"Alive." Ryan pouted. She herself is about to die, and she has to ask this and that, why doesn't she ask if she is disfigured or anything, and she usually doesn't see how noble she is.

Elan fell asleep.

Ryan looked at her and sighed, this girl is really not worrying, an originally simple scientific expedition escort mission. How can she die and come back to life with a bang.

He nodded to the two doctors standing in the corner of the room, "Brother, thank you, I'll treat you to dinner when I get back to the base." ”

He walked out of the isolation ward. Turn straight to the ship's rest area.

Duanmu sat in a conspicuous position, staring at the passage, and immediately got up to greet Ryan when he saw him: "Senior, how is Ilan?" ”

"Woke up a bit. Slept again. The doctor said to let her sleep more and help her recover here. Ryan nodded.

Duanmu bowed slightly, and only after a while did he come back to his senses and said, "Thank you, senior." ”

"You're welcome, you have to rest more." Ryan is still very polite to others.

Duanmu thanked him again, but his eyebrows were tightly locked, obviously worried.

Ryan patted him on the shoulder and turned back to his rest pod.

Ilan woke up again. Seeing that the two doctors in the team were there, she had no strength to open her mouth with her eyes half-open.

"Xiao Tong. We've arrived at Chenhuan and will take you to the resident hospital later. ”

Ilan blinked weakly to indicate that he had heard.

She was carefully pushed out of her bed. The two doctors escorted the way, and Ilan struggled to look overhead, feeling a bit like a passage on an airship.

As she passed the open lounge area, she turned her head sideways and noticed a large number of people standing.

Ryan stood in front of the crowd first, bumped into her sight, and mouthed at her, "Beauty." There was also Zhang Shenhai and others next to him, all staring at her.

Yilan was a little uncomfortable, and a little helpless, vaguely feeling that his situation was probably not good, this posture was like a dying send-off, but no matter what, it was better than dying on Liuhua No. 3. Heaven still heard her little wish, and didn't let her be buried with those monsters.

She searched through the crowd and saw Duanmu standing at the end of the pile. She tugged at him, and Duanmu stepped forward, staring at her intently with a gentle smile.

"Duanmu." Ilan called, his voice low.

The push bed continued to move slowly, and Yilan hurriedly called again: "Duanmu." She tried to make herself louder, but the volume didn't rise much, leaving her panting and her chest aching.

Duanmu took a few steps closer and moved forward, staring at Ilan.

The two doctors looked at each other, leaned over and said to Yilan, "Xiao Tong, it's not appropriate for you to speak more. ”

Yilan pleaded and said in a dumb voice: "Just one sentence." ”

The two physicians glanced at each other, and reluctantly motioned for Duanmu to step forward.

Duanmu walked quickly to Yilan's bedside, leaned down, his eyes wandered over Yilan's face, and asked softly, "Yilan, how are you?" ”

Ilan nodded slightly with a smile in her eyes. She squirmed her lips, but there was no sound, and her eyes stared straight at Duanmu.

Duanmu understood, tilted his head to the side of his face, and pressed his ear to Ilan's lips.

"Where's the gun?" Ilan asked softly. Her gun on Duanmu is a big scourge, Duanmu can't get off the ship to get through, once he is found to be secretly hiding high-risk weapons, he can't eat and walk around.

Duanmu didn't understand it for the first time, turned his face slightly sideways to look at Yilan, and asked with a blank eye, and the two of them were almost nose to nose and eye to eye.

Ilan opened his mouth slightly, and Duanmu quickly pressed his ear to Ilan's lips. Ilan asked again.

This time Duanmu heard clearly, he turned his head sideways, and gently approached Yilan's ear, and Yilan tilted his head cooperatively.

"In my bag." Duanmu said in a low voice.

The two looked at each other, and Duanmu tacitly put his ear back to Yilan's lips.

"Leave it to Ryan." Elan confessed that she believed Ryan would keep it a secret from her.

Duanmu nodded slightly, the two looked at each other again, Yilan smiled, Duanmu smiled, leaned into Yilan's ear and whispered comfort: "Yilan, you will be fine." ”

Ilan bent the corners of her mouth and nodded slightly.

The doctor on the side coughed, Duanmu glanced up, grabbed the edge of the bed, quickly lowered his head, and said to Yilan's ear: "Yilan, if you want to run a farm in the future, remember to tell me." ”

The smile in Yilan's eyes was even stronger, and Duanmu wanted to return the favor. She nodded slightly, and she would definitely ask him to help her with the details when the time came.

Duanmu straightened up with a smile, let go of the edge of the bed and took a step back, watching as Ilan was sent off the ship.

The crowd dispersed, each preparing to disembark.

Duanmu stopped Ryan, who was about to leave, and said softly, "Senior, is it convenient to enter your rest cabin or my rest cabin?" ”

Ryan raised his head and motioned for Duanmu to follow, and the two entered Ryan's rest cabin.

Duanmu didn't say much, took out a light separation gun from his backpack, turned the muzzle upside down and handed it to Ryan.

Ryan looked at Duanmu, reached out to take the gun, and asked, "Did you use it?" ”

"Yes." Duanmu said.

"Oh?" Ryan looked at Duanmu in surprise, "Useful?" ”

"It works." Duanmu smiled.

Ryan shook his head and smiled, "She's quite prescient. ”

"Thank you, senior." Duanmu said seriously, and didn't say much else.

Ryan suddenly laughed: "You've all graduated, what are you calling a senior?" Call me by name and be a friend. ”

Duanmu smiled, "Okay, thank you, Ryan." ”

After Duanmu said goodbye amicably, Ryan played with the light gun, thinking that this girl was stupid, and automatically handed the handle into his hands.

In fact, she privately left the weapon to Duanmu, since Duanmu used it, then many team members will see it, she gives it to anyone the same, no one will be verbose, this bit of friendship brothers and sisters have a spectrum. She was so stupid that she pulled Duanmu and bit her ears in front of everyone, wanting to cover up what she was talking about.

Ryan grinned, he had to be worthy of her, and if he had nothing to do in the future, he would use this matter to threaten her a few words. (To be continued......)
