Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi? Chapter 163 – Chapter 163 Chapter 163 Beginner First Aider Shows You a Trick

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Beginner First Aider Shows You a Trick (4) Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Beginner First Aider Shows You a Trick (4) Captain Cao couldn't help but fantasize about what that mysterious Otherworld was really like.

“Tsk, I really want to see what kind of world that is.”

“Sooner or later we'll find a passage; it's impossible for them to be able to come here and yet we can't go there.”

Ye Nai firmly believed this. As long as she became the Secret Realm Master, she would definitely find the passage.

The two of them chatted for a while and rested intermittently. After more than an hour, all fourteen injured personnel had finished their IV drips, and the team leaders had also agreed on where to spend the night.

Although those with rib injuries needed prompt medical attention, it was already too late today. They could only return to the frontline camp to recuperate. They had portable medical equipment and could take X-rays to check the condition of the bones.

Ye Nai then brought out a brand-new trailer for the transport of the injured.

When she originally purchased the tractor, she had bought six trailers: two were used for carrying game over visible roads, two stored mutant beast meat and skins in her Space, and the remaining two were kept available for flexible use.

Now that they needed to transport the injured, of course, it was best to use a new one.

Those who knew her were astonished.

“Yezi, how many trailers did you actually buy?”

Ye Nai made a “six” gesture with her hand.

“You bought that many?”

“Ah, my Space is big, you see. I used two trailers for personal belongings, and you've seen the other two. Now, I still have two available for mobility, and here we are using them.”

“Really, having more vehicles is beneficial.”

Ye Nai's explanation was logical and reasonable. Her Space was large, and as the items she stored in it increased, she used two large trailers specifically for storage, keeping as much Space free as possible for taking on missions. Nothing could be more normal.

Ah Qi, the one under Captain Xiao Ni who could drive the tractor, stood out again. He had suffered minor injuries and received a couple of stitches, but it did not significantly affect his driving.

In this wilderness, driving a tractor pulling two trailers required the experience of this veteran driver.

He carefully maneuvered the vehicle, connecting the new trailer with ease. Then he opened one side's guardrail, and the Earth Element team members formed a set of steps along the edge of the carriage. The grass mats under the injured acted as ready-made stretchers, with two people to a team, efficiently lifting them all onto the vehicle in minutes.

Ye Nai also got into the co-driver's seat. The two SUVs in front cleared the way, the tractor in the middle, and the rest of the SUVs followed behind, moving majestically towards the frontline camp.

No sooner had they left than the special Nine-ribbed Vine thicket underwent a massive transformation.

In the past few hours, Ye Nai's spores had been proliferating extravagantly in the soil. Once the people left, they immediately stimulated the seeds of various plants in the surrounding soil to germinate and shoot.

It wasn't just a luxuriant growth of small grasses, bushes, and saplings springing up; fungal spots also appeared on the ridged trees and the Nine-ribbed Vine, covering the conspicuous nine white ridges.

Plants generally fear fungal diseases. Ye Nai's artificial intervention did not count; she was merely crafting a clever camouflage for the trees and vines. At first glance, one would think they were plants infected with a disease, causing them to stay away, reluctant to come close. After all, if one got infected with a real fungal disease outside, there would be no medicine to treat it.

But if someone were so lacking in judgement that they insisted on sitting under those trees and got infected, it wouldn't be anyone else's fault.

Captain Cao had said, she would rather have those trees die of disease after they left than be chopped down by others.

Then it would be as she wished.

Infections of fungi originating from Blue Star's native plants were very difficult to treat, not to mention infections from fungi, bacteria, and viruses within the Secret Realm, which were deadly.

Medical research related to the Secret Realm was a new direction in modern medicine, but it was still fraught with difficulties. Countless diseases had been discovered, but specific cures were hard to find, which made treatment-related mutant plants and mutant beasts extremely important.

Essentially, treatment-related mutant plants were just plants, and plants feared fungal infections.

A perfect closed loop.

Ye Nai had feedback from the spores and fungi, knowing that his arrangements were in place, he was relieved.

Now he just waited for the warriors to patrol that area again, report the fungal infection, and put an end to this matter, never to be brought up again.

While chatting with Ah Qi in the vehicle, it was learned that the journey back to the frontline camp was not too far in theory, but coincidentally, it was just outside the communication range of ordinary radios. It couldn't be helped; soldiers had to patrol that far in their daily rounds, otherwise, they wouldn't discover such precious plants.

This also meant that during intense battles, if the communication officers were injured and the equipment damaged, they could not contact the frontline camp and had to send someone back for help.

Fortunately, they didn't have to run all the way to the camp, just to a distance where communication could be restored. Just so happened that the camp was getting anxious from their long absence and sent people to meet them. Halfway there, they met and turned back in a rush.

No wonder the support arrived so quickly.

If not for Ye Nai, even if the support arrived in time, the mission would have been completed routinely, but the extent of the losses was uncertain, especially how to treat and evacuate so many injured people, which was a big problem.

Ye Nai appeared just like that, which was everyone's good fortune.

When the frontline camp's courtyard came into view on the horizon, and many people were already waiting there, waving their hands to direct the tractor to stop in the yard, while the off-road vehicles were parked outside forming a defensive formation.

In the Secret Realm, it was also hot now, with seasonal shifts following the same natural laws as the home country. Everyone enjoyed their rest outdoors, hanging mosquito nets to create individual small tents, placing the injured inside. Every now and then a breeze would blow, which was quite comfortable. They would return to the huts only when it was time to sleep.

Ye Nai didn't ask an obvious question: with the mission handed over to Captain Cao and Captain Xiao Ni, it was clear that this frontline camp was in Danger Zone No. 5.

On her own turf, she relaxed quite a bit, opened the trailer's tailgate, and stealthily woke the sleeping Camel-hump Deer, carrying them down to move around, but cleverly controlled them so that they only had enough energy to stroll and eat, not bump into people or run away.

Their favorite plants were scattered loosely on the ground, piled up about half the height of a person. Hungry and thirsty from sleeping since last night, the deer crowded around the food, not even lifting their heads as they ate. The fawns clung to their mothers' bellies to nurse.

The precious Camel-hump Deer once again attracted onlookers. No one touched the does and fawns, but were all over the other three subadult bucks.

The warriors, with their rough and calloused palms, nearly petted the poor deer bald, irritating them so much they kept using their heads to push people away, asking them to back off. But everyone misunderstood their intentions as seeking pets, so they petted even more vigorously.

The young bucks felt so wronged their eyes rolled, but being hungry and thirsty, they had to prioritize eating, and planned to bolt once they'd eaten their fill. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't exert the strength of a Wood Element Mutant Beast, they would definitely show them what being hit by antlers felt like.

Those injured with broken ribs who could only lie flat had now had their X-rays taken using the camp's portable equipment. Fortunately, their conditions were okay, with no dislocation, but they were not allowed to get out of bed and had to lie still, using adult diapers for bodily functions.

Luckily, their mission gear always included these items, exactly for such situations.
