After a while, Mo Qiong heard Waveshift's instructions through his earpiece. "Someone's coming to save you. Let go of the thing in your hand."
"Eat … Achoo … Achoo … Eat …" Mo Qiong tried his best to express himself.
He was not done yet. Chris's idea was simple. Sacrifice one person and immediately eat the thing to buy time for everyone.
This was supposed to be done by Alissanda, but that guy almost choked to death in the water. How could he find the ball of yarn?
Thus, only he could do it.
"I know. It'll be judged. Let go," Waveshift said hoarsely.
Mo Qiong loosened his grip and placed the ball of yarn on the shore. Immediately after, he felt someone pulling him. A huge force hit him and he was thrown into the arms of another person. After that, it was obvious that he was shaking violently.
Clearly, someone was carrying him out of the area.
When he opened his eyes, a medical team had already taken over to treat his injuries.
After leaving the area and not sneezing, Mo Qiong felt much better. At least his injuries would not worsen quickly.
Since they had chosen the ball of yarn for training, the medical team was naturally confident that they could treat the injuries caused by sneezing too much.
Compared to Alissanda, Mo Qiong's injuries were more troublesome because his blood was liquefied natural gas. The cold air leaked out of his nose, forcing the medical team to wear a full set of protective gear to stop his bleeding.
Mo Qiong lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep after being injected.
When he woke up, it was already night time.
Alright, he was completely healed. The muscle strain and mucous membrane had all been repaired.
"Drink this. You don't need a blood transfusion. You just need some nourishment." A male doctor handed a cup of black liquid to Mo Qiong.
Mo Qiong knew that it was nourishing, so he drank it in one gulp. He was too lazy to lick the remaining liquid. He hurriedly asked, "How is it? Is the containment over?"
"No," the doctor said.
"Huh? It's not over? "Mo Qiong was shocked. Was Chris's idea wrong?
He walked out of the room and saw that the lakeside had returned to normal. Chris and the others were nowhere to be seen.
Alissanda, You Xin, and two other team members were chatting in the camp. When they saw him come out, they hurriedly greeted him with smiles.
"Mo Qiong, you're awake. It's all thanks to you that we managed to find Furry the moment we entered the water. Otherwise, we would have sacrificed ourselves for nothing." Alexander said.
"After all, I was the one who discovered it. I know where it fell." Mo Qiong smiled.
No one here was better at tracking than him.
After Alissanda went into the water, he went straight for the ball of yarn.
There was only one ball of yarn in the lake, and only Mo Qiong had seen it before, so he found it easily.
"But I heard that it's not over yet. What happened? Don't tell me I didn't eat the ball of yarn in the end? " When Mo Qiong touched that thing, there was no change in the material of his body. He knew that he had to eat it to become a furry creature.
Enduring the forced sneeze effect to find the ball of yarn, it was naturally not as simple as taking it out of the water.
After all, the instructor said that as long as one was infected with the forced sneeze, even if one left the area, the infection would continue until one died. Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well use himself as a Reset Device.
Of course, he wouldn't really eat it. Instead, it was determined that Mo Qiong had eaten the ball of yarn when he was on the verge of death.
Then … Then he died.
"Of course you ate the ball of yarn. It and your corpse were left at the shore. After that, that thing continued to spread its effects in your corpse. You Xin smashed your corpse and threw the ball out, resetting the area," Alissanda said.
You Xin grinned. "Hehehe, after that, I took advantage of the reduced area to chase the sheep to your corpse and forced the ball of yarn into the sheep's mouth."
"As long as there are animals continuously coming in and refreshing its area, it's basically under control."
Mo Qiong touched his Adam's apple. Hearing them talk about his corpse, he felt strange. Clearly, they were only talking about the corpse on the surface.
"Then how did you die?" Mo Qiong asked You Xin. When he went into the water, You Xin was clearly at a safe distance.
Alissanda answered for him. "This guy went in to save you and was infected. The instructor determined that he would sneeze himself to death in four minutes. Actually, according to the setting, he didn't have to save people because the sneeze wouldn't stop even if he did. If he got infected because of saving people, he would just lose another life. He died for no reason. If it wasn't a drill, he would have died for nothing. "
You Xin curled his lips. "We still had to save him. If we didn't pull him out of the area in time, what if he really died? This guy drank so much water. I'm not afraid that he would drown, but I'm afraid that he would choke out his lungs! "
The drill was set to kill anyone infected by the effect. It was just a matter of time. However, that wasn't the case. The real characteristic was that the sneeze would stop as long as the person was rescued.
Back then, You Xin saw smoke coming out of Mo Qiong's orifices and knew that he was definitely bleeding. If he was sneezing, who knew how badly he was injured? He immediately rushed into the area to save him, afraid that he would die before he could be rescued.
However, he had obviously underestimated the rescue ability of the instructors. It was impossible for the instructors to be unable to save him in time and let him sneeze himself to death.
"No wonder there were two people who took turns to save me. So you were there too? When you heard Wabo calmly say that I died, you should know that he was confident. "Although Mo Qiong said that, he was still quite touched.
You Xin was afraid that he would really die and had him fake his death during the drill.
Alissanda said, "The spirit is worth praising, but the method is not. I did the same when I first came here. In the end, I was scolded by the leader. He said I was sending myself to death …"
"Actually, this is a problem of getting used to each other. Mo Qiong, the leader knows that you have the Deep One effect. However, the Deep One effect is that you won't drown. Sneezing and filling the lungs with water is very harmful to the body. Even if you have the Deep One effect, you still have to endure it. Therefore, it doesn't mean that you're more suitable than me for this mission. At the time, I was the closest to you, so the leader didn't even consider letting you jump down."
"Who would have thought that you would find the ball of yarn once you entered the water and eat it to reset the effect. That was the most crucial part of the mission. The leader didn't expect that."
"Fine …" Mo Qiong shrugged.
He and You Xin had just joined the team and had not done any missions with them. They were still lacking in familiarity.
Just like when he reported that the ball of yarn had fallen into the lake, Chris thought that he was just joking.
If it was any other veteran member, Chris knew that they would not report something so casually. They would have asked him about it immediately.
On the other hand, Mo Qiong was still discussing marksmanship with Alissanda. Even though he reported it seriously, Chris thought that he was spouting nonsense. After all, it sounded like nonsense when he said that a ball of yarn had fallen out of the body of a yarn monster.
"Haha, in previous missions, new members usually didn't perform as well as you did. This is the first time Chris has seen a newbie like you." Another fallen member said with a laugh.
"This time, your excellence has caught Chris off guard. You won't be able to stay idle in future missions because with this performance, Chris will definitely use you … to dig out your limits." Alissanda said with a complicated smile.
Mo Qiong was startled. He was reminded of Alissanda's terrifying death rate …
Including today's incident, Alissanda had not survived a single mission.
Obviously, before Mo Qiong came, Alissanda was Chris's right-hand man … he had been challenging his limits … he was given the most difficult missions.
"It's okay, the capable do more work." Mo Qiong had already realized that the career he had chosen was a career that they would have to shoulder if the sky fell. The strongest should do the most difficult things, because the others would only find it more difficult.
They chatted as they took the helicopter to catch up with Chris's team.
According to Alissanda, the mission was not something that could be completed after finding the solution.
They were containment personnel, so they had to complete the mission. Darwin's team was also responsible for safely transporting the anomalies to the nearby containment base. Only when the anomalies were delivered to the base would the mission be considered complete.
The items were transported from the sky by helicopter, passing through Africa's Great Rift Valley. It would take more than a day for the items to arrive.
Mo Qiong's team quickly caught up with the main group in the helicopter. Because the main group needed to replenish the small animals intermittently.
Their location was near Mount Kenya in East Africa's Great Rift Valley. They were currently flying over a large stream.
"Chris made a temporary containment measure, which was a device fixed below the helicopter. This device was responsible for holding the ball of yarn in place, then stuffing it into the stomach of an African bullfrog that was also fixed" Alissanda explained.
Mo Qiong saw that Mike was piloting the helicopter while dragging a large box. Inside the box was a bullfrog whose mouth had been forcibly opened and was fixed in place, while a mechanical arm on the other side was holding the ball of yarn and stuffing it into the bullfrog's stomach.
In fact, it was basically holding an anomaly in one hand and an animal in the other, but it was done through a mechanical device that could be manipulated to periodically refresh the range of effect.
The bullfrog that had been turned into a ball of yarn was still struggling, it wasn't until the mechanical arm took the ball of yarn out that it stopped moving.
Because the anomaly had turned it into a ball of yarn, after it escaped, it wasn't responsible for turning it back into a flesh and blood body …
Mo Qiong asked: "So they used a bullfrog. That's understandable, it's easier to stuff the ball into its mouth. If we can just sacrifice a bullfrog, there's no need to sacrifice a large animal"
"To be able to continue, we've purchased all the bullfrogs in the nearby towns. According to our calculations, we'll definitely be able to reach the base without the anomaly's effect spreading beyond 3 meters" Alissanda replied.
Mo Qiong nodded, this mission was basically a done deal.
As casualties, they could only observe from afar and wait for the mission to be over.
"Watch out!" Suddenly, Instructor Waveshift's hoarse voice came from the microphone, trying to warn them of something.
"Xiu …"
"Huh?"
As they heard the sound of something breaking through the air, they saw 6 rockets flying out from behind one of the broken walls of the valley.
The rocket's tail flame was quite conspicuous in the night, almost like the afterimages left behind by a meteor shower.
"RPG!" Chris shouted.
But he was too late. As soon as he shouted, the rocket that came out of nowhere had already struck the helicopter that was transporting the anomaly.
"Boom!" Mike hurriedly used [Air Wall] to block it, but it couldn't stop the helicopter from turning into a ball of fire.
Seeing the anomaly and the helicopter falling into the valley together, with Mike being blown away by the explosion and falling down together with the burning debris of the helicopter … Mo Qiong and the others were shocked.
"What the hell? Did the Instructors add to the drama? "
As casualties, they didn't know whether or not they should try to rescue them, but then they heard the Instructors' roars coming from their headsets.
"Enemy attack!!!"
"Everyone is authorized to fire at will, retaliate!"
"Attention! This isn't a drill! This isn't a drill! "
"Retaliate! Retaliate! "
