Why did you provoke me?

Yu Meng sighed inwardly. "Just think about it, how can such a young child be responsible for all these people? How can she be so unreliable?"

And she didn't even know what her responsibilities were. Nobody told her any of this.

As Yu Meng was thinking about these things, someone rushed in, "Commander, the first squad has returned for rest. They are Granny Hua's subordinates. They request your assistance..."

The person who came over looked at Yu Meng and hesitated to continue. Wouldn't such a little girl be scared to tears if she saw that group of fierce-looking men?

Yu Meng stood up. What was meant to happen would eventually happen. "Where are they? Let's go."

"In the first rest room. They look a bit fierce, so be prepared." Then she quickly added, "They're not fierce, they just look a bit ruthless." The last word was barely audible.

Yu Meng nodded; she had to go see her no matter what. Before she even reached the place, she heard a voice shouting, "Say what you just said again! What do you mean Grandma is gone? Where did she go? Does she not want us anymore?"

A voice, trembling with sobs, rang out, "My mother-in-law is gone, she's gone, it's been over half a month. What's the use of you yelling at me? She's gone, who here isn't heartbroken?"

After the voice faded, there was complete silence inside. After a long while, a suppressed sob broke out, "Grandma, I'm back. Why didn't you wait for me?"

Yu Meng stood outside and didn't go in. She could feel the sadness, a pure sadness without any ulterior motive.

Yu Meng knew she would have to face all this alone. She hadn't seen Qing Yuan for a long time since she'd given the dead alien to her. Perhaps things would be better if Qing Yuan were here.

Yu Meng gently pushed open the door, and everyone inside looked up. Yu Meng was startled; their eyes were all red, their gazes fierce, their faces contorted. Standing there, she felt like a sheep caught in a pack of wolves. An unspoken pressure instantly enveloped Yu Meng.

The people following behind hurriedly stood in front of Yu Meng, "Captain Xiao, this is the person in charge of the base, you should tone down your arrogance."

Xiao Wen nodded, waved to the team members behind him, and shouted, "Line up! Salute!"

In an instant, all their laziness vanished, their posture straightened, their eyes resolute, though the tears in the corners of their eyes slightly marred their tough-guy image.

Yu Meng stepped forward, her tone calm and her voice indifferent, "If you have any problems, you can tell me directly. I won't refuse to do what I can for Granny Hua's sake. As for the rest, if you can handle it yourselves, don't come to me."

Xiao Wen pursed his lips. "Yes. We need to check now to see if we have any alien parasites."

Yu Meng frowned. "How do I check? I don't know. Can you tell me?"

Xiao Wen looked at Yu Meng with a "Are you kidding me?" expression.

Yu Meng looked completely innocent. "I've only been here for half a month, and no one has told me about this. Besides, I only came here because you belong to Granny Hua."

Xiao Wen understood. The girl didn't want to stay here, but she had to do some things because of her mother-in-law.

Xiao Wen hesitated, "I don't know exactly how to do it. Grandma Hua just walked around among us back then."

Yu Meng realized that the only option was to use thread.

"Besides, we're feeling irritable and want to vent, and we need the leader to give us something to comfort us." Xiao Wen said everything he wanted to say. He didn't know if the girl could understand him.

Yu Meng nodded. "You all sit down where you are. My methods may be different from Granny Hua's, but you are not allowed to ask or tell anyone."

Yu Meng glanced at the person who had led her there, then at the person in the room who didn't belong to this team. The two of them tactfully withdrew and closed the door behind them.

The soldiers sat down as instructed, their eyes fierce, but all were very restrained.

Yu Meng unconsciously looked at them with newfound respect. They didn't cause trouble, didn't nitpick, and certainly didn't criticize her. That was good enough.

With a slight twitch of her fingers, Yu Meng's bracelet instantly transformed into countless fine threads, slowly moving towards the warriors. "Relax, don't resist," Yu Meng's voice rang out.

The soldiers had never seen anything like this before, and their muscles were tense. Only after hearing Yu Meng's words did they slowly relax.

The fine thread didn't linger; it went straight into their minds. At that moment, everyone's hands clenched tightly; this was a life-or-death test for them.

Yu Meng closed her eyes and examined them carefully. And you know what? She actually found a few that were different. However, the shape of this one was different from that little flower; it looked more like a withered branch.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Meng wrapped the thread around the object and pulled it out.

Therefore, everyone saw an unidentified object hanging from several thin silk threads, slowly moving towards Yu Meng.

Xiao Wen's eyes narrowed slightly. This skill level seemed comparable to Granny Hua's. They were quick and efficient, and most similarly, they were both decisive, without hesitation or dragging things out.

Looking at the object in front of her, Yu Meng asked, "Captain Xiao, do you know what this is? Is it also an alien?"

Xiao Wen nodded. "This is also a kind of alien. It's lazy and doesn't like to move. Once it parasitizes someone, it will wait until that host dies before it parasitizes again."

"You know so much about this alien lab? They've already produced results?" Yu Meng rubbed her fingers together.

Xiao Wen nodded. "This was the first successful research. After it dies, its body can be used as a main ingredient in a medicine. However, it's a bit difficult to obtain. It always actively seeks out a host. Even if we stand right in front of it, we can't collect it unless it actively seeks it out."

Yu Meng stopped, her brows furrowing slightly. What had she done? She had actually peeled off the alien's skin.

A round sphere, about the size of a soybean, appeared before Yu Meng. Its aura seemed somewhat familiar to her.

Suddenly, a dream arose within her, one that bore a striking resemblance to the scent of that stone flower. A bold idea took shape in her mind. She gently touched the dot with her finger.

A bizarre phenomenon then unfolded before their eyes. The spherical object transformed into speckles, which then plunged directly into the bodies of everyone present.

Yu Meng and everyone else were taken aback. This had never happened before.

Yu Meng carefully examined her body and found nothing abnormal, but the fatigue she had felt in the past few days seemed to have vanished.

Yu Meng looked at Xiao Wen. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No. On the contrary, I feel very comfortable." Xiao Wen looked at his body. "And I feel like that feeling of irritability is gone too."

Yu Meng looked up at the others. "Any of you feeling unwell? Or experiencing any unusual symptoms? Please speak up now."

"no."

"Me neither, I feel very comfortable."

Yu Meng looked into their eyes, and the redness gradually faded. Their ferocious expressions also gradually calmed down.

"Captain Xiao, it seems you've obtained something extraordinary." Yu Meng said slowly, fiddling with the remaining three items in her hand.

Xiao Wen gradually came to his senses. "This has never happened before. All the aliens we've obtained before have been handed over."

Yu Meng nodded, "Then from now on, we'll keep these things. After we've used them up, we'll hand over any leftovers."

Xiao Wen's eyes lit up. "Should we suppress this news?"

Yu Meng glanced at him. "What do you think?"
