Why did you provoke me?

After helping the three people remove the alien, Niannian sped up. "Fourth Sister, it's best to eat when there are many people around, so it tastes better when everyone is grabbing food."

"Don't get carried away with your success," Yu Meng reminded her again.

When Yu Meng retrieved the aliens at the base, she would simply wrap them with threads and pull them out.

Now that her lines can absorb alien energy, and seeing that Niannian was doing it so easily, she tried it herself.

The result surprised her greatly. If the lines were removed in this way, not only would it be effortless, but her own lines would also be significantly enhanced.

Yu Meng told herself that there were indeed many capable people in the world. She couldn't be reckless. You never know who might have special methods. Take Niannian, for example; she never imagined that Niannian's one thought would save her so much energy.

After the Xenomorph's energy is absorbed, its resistance decreases significantly. Both its reaction speed and the Xenomorph's physical strength are weakened considerably. This makes it much easier and more efficient to subdue the Xenomorph.

And so, the two sisters went in and out one by one, like in a competition.

Everyone wore an expression of disbelief; they had never known that the bone-drawing master could extract aliens so easily and efficiently.

Xiao Wen and Du Wenhe stood outside the tent. They looked at the people coming and going, exchanging glances, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"You think they just went through the motions?" Du Wenhe's tone was uncertain.

Xiao Wen shook his head. "The little beads the soldiers carry aren't just for show. I asked everyone who came out, and half of them had those little beads. They said they were for self-defense."

"But we've dealt with Yu Meng several times already, and we haven't received this kind of treatment."

"Didn't Yu Meng say that this is just for them to experiment and see if it's true? For now, it's still just a conjecture."

As dawn broke, Yu Meng told Niannian to stop; they needed to rest for a while. Niannian looked at her, puzzled; she wasn't tired at all.

Yu Meng touched her stomach, indicating that she was hungry.

Yan Lei brought in breakfast. "You must be tired and hungry after a long night. The conditions here are limited, so please don't mind."

Yu Meng accepted the breakfast. "The situation is special, there aren't many formalities."

Yan Lei shouted towards the tent entrance, "Bring the stuff in."

Niannian looked curiously at the doorway as two soldiers carried in a large box.

"Captain Xiao said he only needs to give you samples. These are the samples we've collected over this period. Take a look when you have time, and let us know if you find anything good." Yan Lei finished speaking and looked at Yu Meng, "Um, I have some withered branch aliens here, could you give us special consideration?"

Niannian stopped eating. "I know how to do this, but I'm not good at precise control yet. Can I try?"

Yan Lei glanced at Yu Meng and saw that she was just eating with her head down, seemingly without objection. He quickly nodded, "I'll go and call them all in."

Yan Lei turned and left.

Niannian looked at Yu Meng and said, "Fourth Sister, can I just split it evenly? I like that feeling too!"

"You haven't slept all night, yet you're still so energetic. Aren't you sleepy?" Yu Meng didn't scold Niannian. She liked Niannian's straightforward way of saying what she wanted, so she didn't have to guess what Niannian was thinking, and Niannian didn't have to hide her thoughts for fear of being found out.

Most importantly, the withered branch and its strange shape weren't Yu Meng's. Since Yan Lei was willing to take it out, she and Niannian had no reason to refuse, after all, she liked those little specks of light too.

Yan Lei returned quickly, followed by about seven people. Yu Meng saw Liu Wei and thought to herself that they were all shrewd and calculating. Liu Wei was one of her men, yet he was being treated with such care by these people. This was a sign of respect for her.

Niannian took a large box, which contained five withered branch aliens. Underneath the withered branches was a large floral umbrella, on which the withered branches stood.

"Do we have to use them all?" Niannian looked up at Yan Lei.

Yan Lei glanced at Yu Meng out of the corner of his eye, but she didn't respond. He nodded and said, "Use them all! We can use this box to lure in new dead branches."

"Alright!" Niannian stretched out her little hand, picked up a dry twig, rubbed it in her palm a few times, and the dry twig in her hand changed shape. Then she flicked it with her middle finger, and the twig scattered into tiny specks.

As the starlight entered everyone's bodies, their complexions visibly improved significantly.

Niannian was very fast; the five withered branches completed their mission in just a few minutes.

The group exchanged glances, their opinion of Nian Nian rising even higher. They genuinely admired Xiao Wen's insistence on having Yu Meng oversee their newly established organization.

Based on Niannian's methods, wouldn't Yu Meng's methods be even stronger? You must know that this little girl was taught by Yu Meng.

Several people walked out one by one, their fatigue from the past few days seemingly wiped away in an instant. "Captain Xiao, do you know what's in this box? If we prepare a few more, we'll never have to worry about food again."

Xiao Wen sighed inwardly. He knew all this all too well. The box in his hand was given to him by Qing Yuan, who hadn't said a word. She had only told him that with this box, the withered branch alien wouldn't parasitize a human. Did he really not know what was inside the box?

Yan Lei's heart skipped a beat. "Brother Xiao, are there any samples of this thing among them? Will Yu Meng make another box like this?"

"I can't guarantee anything for Yu Meng, but her younger sister seems rather naive. If we..." A deep voice rang out.

Du Wenhe interrupted him. "Captain Tian, ​​we can tell Yu Meng directly what we want to do. Please don't scheme like this, otherwise I'm afraid things will turn out the opposite of what we want."

Captain Tian raised an eyebrow. "Just say it? Are you sure?"

"If you want it, let's just say so. Captain Tian, ​​you don't understand Yu Meng; she's very shrewd. You can make her suffer a little openly, but you must make sure she doesn't suffer a loss secretly." Xiao Wen agreed with Du Wenhe's statement.

"Liu Wei, what do you have to say?" Captain Tian looked at Liu Wei, who had been following behind without saying a word.

"Huh?" Liu Wei was lost in thought and didn't react immediately when someone called out to him.

"Tell me, what is Yu Meng's personality like?" Yan Lei asked in a low voice.

"In what aspect?" Liu Wei asked casually.

Yan Lei repeated the conversation they had just had, and Liu Wei nodded, "Let's get straight to the point. Yu Meng is very generous. The first time we met, she gave me a medicinal stone, saying she wanted to keep it to save her life."

Several people looked at Liu Wei with envy, saying, "It's not common to see a bone artist who is this generous."

Xiao Wen nodded. "Yu Meng was the one who discovered the withered branch alien. When we were on a mission, I went to her and said that I wanted some more withered branch aliens to replenish our supplies. She didn't hesitate and gave them to us right away."

The group looked at Xiao Wen in surprise. "You mean, the withered branch alien was brought back by you, and Yu Meng was the one who examined it for you? So, your team was the first to benefit? How are you feeling now? Are there any side effects?"

"I feel like my physical fitness has improved. The data from the last physical exam was excellent," Xiao Wen smiled. "That's why I've always wanted Yu Meng to come here."

The group fell silent and returned to their respective teams. They needed to consider how they should treat Meng in the future.
